The Yorubas and the Northern Caliphate Power Game

By Franklin Otorofani

I have just finished reading the thought provoking post March 26, 2015, by Sat Guru Maharaji in the AfricanHeraldExpress.com web portal, titled: “Open Letter To Southern Muslims”. His piece shares plenteous areas of commonality and intersections—a meeting of minds of sorts—with my earlier piece two days earlier on March 24, 2015, titled “Presidential Election Projection (PEP) – by Franklin …”published at the same site. These areas of commonality pertain to the political designs of colonial Britain on Nigeria as manifested in the Northern oligarchic stranglehold on political power in Nigeria.

Presidential Election Projection (PEP)

Franklin Otorofani, Esq.

Don’t get me wrong with the bold title of this piece. I’m not in the business of foretelling the future because I’m no Nostradamus. However, though lacking the faculty of clairvoyance, it is possible for any political analyst to read the political tea leaves and make an informed projection of the results of particular elections, including forthcoming Nigeria’s presidential election. I’m, therefore, throwing my hat into the ring to make such projection and stick with it till the very end.
