About the Cause of the “Other”
05 Feb 2009| By SC Spinoza, PhD
Lulled into a deep trance by his twisted norms, and forced outside his Ekiti Jungles by his murderous nature, he forgets where we have been and where we should have been if not for his crippling values and clogged brains.
Yet, he believes that others must conform and adjust to his views and values, probably because he is certain about the rightness and justness of his inner elements.
But he who is certain of the beauty of his inner core should be certain to allow others to be without his twisted phantoms and butchered logic.
But because he has been nurtured not to think or reason, not to speak ills of his 12th Century values, nor relinquish his cultural phantoms, he can not help himself; he must elect to remain a stranger in a land full of values strange to his own.
Therefore to reassure himself about the rightness and justness of his cultural phantoms, about his twisted values, he must try to compress others into his mold, into his Ekiti twisted and crippling values.
If his intellectual soul had looked inward rather than be spent speaking ill of others, considering the amount of rubbish inward in his Ekiti soul, he would have learned about his own nature and nurture. He would have learned the secrets of changing his tremendously backward Ekiti values; he would have backwardly compressed and molded his values into forms consistent with civilized realities which afford him the Internet.
But no, he must remain ignorant of himself and of his own problems, created by his own nurture and nature. Nay, he must falsify his backwardness and the achievements of others in conformity with his tribal deceptions and Odua conventions.
Granted that no one has yet to gaze into his twisted soul by means of that very soul; no one has uncovered his “intellectual” soul using his twisted conventions and mangled norms.
But divine Providence has seen to it that the power of finding should not be beyond the reach of devoted seekers, seekers that must see to it that he shares and participates in his tribal woes as wells as in his tribal, horrifying achievements.
Therefore regardless of what you try henceforth, you must not escape from the diseases of your own very nurture, because you have reached the point in your lives where you must feel and see the inventions of your own cause.
If you have little worth to your kind, if other people’s potential success frightens you, if your feelings of self-loathing continue to hunt you, we have some deadly medicines for your Odua maladies.
If you are feeling hopeless, useless, and lost, because of your self-induced failures, we also have some special medicines for your cure, for your low self-esteem, for your desperation, and for your isolation and self-denial.

- This is a beautiful piece on the madness we see in Yoruba people. They blame others for problems they help to create. Without them, Nigeria would have become as advanced as Japan and China. But do not say this to Yoruba because he thinks he is not the problem.
