Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has expressed optimism that Yoruba can achieve self-determination “without firing a bullet”.

He was quoted as saying this in a statement by one of his counsels, Chief Yomi Alliyu (SAN), on Thursday.

The Yoruba rights activist also called on his supporters, especially his kinsmen at home and in the diaspora to embrace dialogue in their quest for self-determination “without heating up the fragile situation” in Nigeria.

Igboho said that he would continue to preach against war, considering the situation in Ukraine and some parts of the South-East in Nigeria.

He thanked all his supporters, leaders, and President of Republic of Benin, Patrice Talon, over his release from prison.

The statement read, “Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Igboho Oosa thanked all that are supporting him, especially his leaders, Baba Prof. Akintoye and Baba Prof. Wale Adeniran and all Nigerians especially his people in Ilana Oodua and affiliates seeking self-determination.

“He continues to preach against war seeing what is happening in Ukraine and some parts of Igboland in Nigeria. He implored all, especially his kinsmen at home and in the diaspora, to embrace dialogue in their quest for self-determination without heating up the very fragile situation in Nigeria.

"He believes that their ambition will be achieved without firing a bullet as he used to say at rallies.

“He appreciates Chief Dele Momodu being the only Yorubaman of note that came to visit him in Cotonou prison. He remains grateful to the President of the Republic of Benin, President Talon, for releasing him from prison with a view to uniting him with members of his immediate family, albeit only in Cotonou for the time being.

“He assures all those in support of peaceful self-determination through a referendum that the struggle continues as he will not relent in his efforts in that regard.

“He pledged his eternal loyalty and respect to Chief Yomi Alliyu SAN who though an extreme Buharist and a nationalist who does not believe in balkanisation of Nigeria, exhibited extreme professionalism in taking up his case with DSS without a kobo and winning it with landmark award of #20.5billion dollars!”

To be a freedom fighter, you must be willing to die for your course and not be afraid of it....


The very reason I liked Nnamdi Kanu before he digressed into violence.... His steadfastness and achievable spirit makes him to stand out above his contenders and was seen as a leader before the numerous killings.... SI should stand fame and not romance the government after receiving a special make-up treat in Benin republic....

he get sense now..the Benin people turned him to a good man now

Why Yorubas can't match the Igbos in anyway . Just a little romance by the Beninese government in prison for a couple of months, the guy the afonjas said turns to cat and disappears and has jazz bulletproof is singing another song. Imagine if it were Yorubas who went to war with Nigeria back then, they for no last reach two months . Well their agberos are all mouth and no action every non Yoruba living in the west knows this

Be like say Cotonou prison is truly a correctional centre

Super powers still far.
Without our Democratically elected govt it's always going to be a fruitless waste of time.
All the ipob shouting since time Immemorial has always been senseless grumblings and noise bcus Igbos who power belongs to don't stand with them.
We stand with our Democratically elected govt to reject their oppressive agenda.

Someone above said that "yorubas are in a class of their own" and i asked if he meant 'skullarship class'?

and he said 'duh' ... Then i felt embarassed for not knowing sooner
