Have you asked why we cannot build our societies to the standard of South Korea or Singapore even when we started the race for development at the same time?

Pa Ajayi died on 3 Nov 2017 at age of 91. He was of the Awolowo school of politics. He was an astute intellectual and lawyer. He was not distracted by power. The health of the Yoruba nation was of utmost concern to him, and he wrote the book This House of Oduduwa Must Not Fall.

The bringing together of the Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba and other tribes to form Nigeria was bound to create serious political problems as the groupings had different world views. Ethnic misunderstanding would later lead to the Nigerian civil war.

It is sad to talk about the passing of Kehinde Ayoola. Until his death on Thursday 14 May 2020, he was the Commissioner of Environment and Natural Resources, Oyo State.

Note:

In 1517, Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527), one of the chief philosophers of his age and a founding father of modern political science, wrote:

“Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who have been, and ever will be, animated by the same passions.
