Ruga: Territorial Occupation of Yoruba by Igbo. by ImperialYoruba: 8:28pm On Jan 03, 2023 |
This is an opinion.
Northern rulers have always advocated for a program which is to counter the effect of geographical disadvantage of desertification on farms, livestocks and herds. So they used irrigation systems facilitated by dams. An example is Tiga dam in Kano, which is one of the most affected States in North. Due to effects of climate change and cyclical weather patterns, those dams, though functional, are perennial and now appear to be less than adequate to supply farmlands and grazing livestocks. They asked for Federal Government intervention.
For years there have been studies on the River Chad water basin to try and find a more enduring solution to the problem.
If you all recall, when Buhari came to power in 2015, before he had appointed ministers he asked for status reports on the Chad water basin. Northern rulers approached him and got his commitment to intervene from the Federal level. A draft to expand grazing routes and create watering holes along the route led to two Federal agendas.
1. Take over water rights all over Nigeria 2. Establish protected land rights for grazing.
These two agendas together gave rise to RUGA.
When the news broke Southern leaders and rulers were livid. They saw RUGA as a subsidy programme that lock the hands of indigeneous farmers and land owners behind their back so a priviledged trade, "livestock grazing", can have free rights of access to ancestral lands.
I am sure no Yoruba person reading this will say he/she supports RUGA anywhere in Yorubaland. It is total opposition. Opposition to RUGA is so strongly asserted that previously dormant native groups were brought to surface to assert separation of Yoruba from Nigeria.
RUGA can come to Yorubaland in different forms, and hidden behind different agendas.
A political RUGA is what we are seeing lately from people of SouthEast.
So let me give some perspective, first on what constitutes Nigeria. This country is a composition of disparate ethnic cultures with nothing in common, but each area is blessed in different assets and comparative advantage.
People have migrated between the different regions and ethnic territories, and assimilated to the new group temporarily, or sometimes permanently. There are rules that migrants follow, the native wisdom is to respect and honor your hosts and not conduct yourself in ways that is sacrilegious to the sacredness of their land. This is a broad definition. Usually, people become wise to the rule after a couple of lessons learnt.
After the civil war, a subsidy programme existed to resettle and reabsorb SouthEasterners into mainstream politics of Nigeria. The subsidy has outlived its value and time. The people have recovered fully, it is time the subsidy is removed so that Igbos do not continue to enjoy privileges that are denied to indigenes that host them.
The people of SouthEast have made enemies all around them due to learning deficiencies. Repeatedly, they have clashed with other regions and ethnic groups and suffered greatly from the outcomes in bloodshed, yet they continue in their ways. A wise person does not continuously put himself at risk of loss in property and lives unless of course they are deficient in learning and self correcting.
In SouthSouth region, a steady conflict of interest and disruptions to peaceful cohabitation brews from time to time between the indigenes and their Igbo guests. Recently on a courtesy visit to the elders of South South, Peter Obi, a leading Igbo candidate for political office referred to portions of Delta as Igboland. In their response, the Elders shut down this idea and drew the line correctly to remind where Igboland ends. The agenda is to completely Igbonize the SouthSouth region politically, economically, culturally, and then assert rights of domiciliary lords to claim it as an exclusive domain, requiring the indigenes to first obtain access permits from the migrant group to enter the area.
Today certain areas of Lagos have already been declared by Igbos as domiciliary domains and exclusive zones. They want total control of the domain, and do not believe Yoruba are qualified to represent these listed domains in legislative sittings or economic forums. Hence Igbos are asserting the rights to push Yoruba out of congressional constituencies that have been carved out for economic exclusivity of Igbo business. The success they achieved in commodity trading they want to expand into political powers and convert territorial control by first displacing Yoruba from their territory, and then becoming the new territory power. This agenda is hidden behind false claims of constitutional right.
The Igbo RUGA agenda must be stopped immediately. The constitution of Nigeria does not approve of territorial conversions. If it did Buhari should have succeeded and RUGA should be everywhere across Southern Nigeria by now. The agenda of Igbo to hide behind political agenda and economic subsidy to convert territory need urgent and immediate attention of Yoruba leaders and rulers.
There is no constitutional statute that allows Buhari to setup RUGA, there is no constitutional statute that allows any group or ethnic clan to setup exclusive enclaves for themselves, either for business or otherwise.
The Igbo enclaves in Yorubaland need to be broken up and the economic subsidy needs to stop. 17 Likes 11 Shares |

The success they achieved in commodity trading they want to expand into political powers and convert territorial control by first displacing Yoruba from their territory, and then becoming the new territory power. This agenda is hidden behind false claims of constitutional right.
The Igbo RUGA agenda must be stopped immediately. The constitution of Nigeria does not approve of territorial conversions. If it did Buhari should have succeeded and RUGA should be everywhere across Southern Nigeria by now. The agenda of Igbo to hide behind political agenda and economic subsidy to convert territory need urgent and immediate attention of Yoruba leaders and rulers.
There is no constitutional statute that allows Buhari to setup RUGA, there is no constitutional statute that allows any group or ethnic clan to setup exclusive enclaves for themselves, either for business or otherwise.
The Igbo enclaves in Yorubaland need to be broken up and the economic subsidy needs to stop.

Even if it will cost him his life,Igbo man must chest beat just to show how foolish he is ! Truly,the smartness of Igbo people does not exceed that they use to carry out trading activities in their 2x2 shops ! What a people ! Even if a trap is being set for you,how on earth will you walk straight into that trap with your two eyes widely open ?'! Some of the comments of Igbo people I read here show very clearly the very height of stupidity of a people who pride themselves as "African Jews " !
If you're Igbo living outside of your ancestral enclave of south east,especially those of you living in the south west,pray that your people (Igbo) do not foolishly give the Yoruba people any reason to rise up in arms against you and begin to forcefully eject you from their land ! That is because most of you Igbo foolishly run your smelly faecal akpu munching mouths dangerously too much ! Typical all brawn and no brain lot,chai!

ImperialYoruba: This is an opinion.
Northern rulers have always advocated for a program which is to counter the effect of geographical disadvantage of desertification on farms, livestocks and herds. So they used irrigation systems facilitated by dams. An example is Tiga dam in Kano, which is one of the most affected States in North. Due to effects of climate change and cyclical weather patterns, those dams, though functional, are perennial and now appear to be less than adequate to supply farmlands and grazing livestocks. They asked for Federal Government intervention.
For years there have been studies on the River Chad water basin to try and find a more enduring solution to the problem.
If you all recall, when Buhari came to power in 2015, before he had appointed ministers he asked for status reports on the Chad water basin. Northern rulers approached him and got his commitment to intervene from the Federal level. A draft to expand grazing routes and create watering holes along the route led to two Federal agendas.
1. Take over water rights all over Nigeria 2. Establish protected land rights for grazing.
These two agendas together gave rise to RUGA.
When the news broke Southern leaders and rulers were livid. They saw RUGA as a subsidy programme that lock the hands of indigeneous farmers and land owners behind their back so a priviledged trade, "livestock grazing", can have free rights of access to ancestral lands.
I am sure no Yoruba person reading this will say he/she supports RUGA anywhere in Yorubaland. It is total opposition. Opposition to RUGA is so strongly asserted that previously dormant native groups were brought to surface to assert separation of Yoruba from Nigeria.
RUGA can come to Yorubaland in different forms, and hidden behind different agendas.
A political RUGA is what we are seeing lately from people of SouthEast.
So let me give some perspective, first on what constitutes Nigeria. This country is a composition of disparate ethnic cultures with nothing in common, but each area is blessed in different assets and comparative advantage.
People have migrated between the different regions and ethnic territories, and assimilated to the new group temporarily, or sometimes permanently. There are rules that migrants follow, the native wisdom is to respect and honor your hosts and not conduct yourself in ways that is sacrilegious to the sacredness of their land. This is a broad definition. Usually, people become wise to the rule after a couple of lessons learnt.
After the civil war, a subsidy programme existed to resettle and reabsorb SouthEasterners into mainstream politics of Nigeria. The subsidy has outlived its value and time. The people have recovered fully, it is time the subsidy is removed so that Igbos do not continue to enjoy privileges that are denied to indigenes that host them.
The people of SouthEast have made enemies all around them due to learning deficiencies. Repeatedly, they have clashed with other regions and ethnic groups and suffered greatly from the outcomes in bloodshed, yet they continue in their ways. A wise person does not continuously put himself at risk of loss in property and lives unless of course they are deficient in learning and self correcting.
In SouthSouth region, a steady conflict of interest and disruptions to peaceful cohabitation brews from time to time between the indigenes and their Igbo guests. Recently on a courtesy visit to the elders of South South, Peter Obi, a leading Igbo candidate for political office referred to portions of Delta as Igboland. In their response, the Elders shut down this idea and drew the line correctly to remind where Igboland ends. The agenda is to completely Igbonize the SouthSouth region politically, economically, culturally, and then assert rights of domiciliary lords to claim it as an exclusive domain, requiring the indigenes to first obtain access permits from the migrant group to enter the area.
Today certain areas of Lagos have already been declared by Igbos as domiciliary domains and exclusive zones. They want total control of the domain, and do not believe Yoruba are qualified to represent these listed domains in legislative sittings or economic forums. Hence Igbos are asserting the rights to push Yoruba out of congressional constituencies that have been carved out for economic exclusivity of Igbo business. The success they achieved in commodity trading they want to expand into political powers and convert territorial control by first displacing Yoruba from their territory, and then becoming the new territory power. This agenda is hidden behind false claims of constitutional right.
The Igbo RUGA agenda must be stopped immediately. The constitution of Nigeria does not approve of territorial conversions. If it did Buhari should have succeeded and RUGA should be everywhere across Southern Nigeria by now. The agenda of Igbo to hide behind political agenda and economic subsidy to convert territory need urgent and immediate attention of Yoruba leaders and rulers.

Sannisege: If Tinubu doesn’t win this election,, no Yoruba man will ever smell that presidential seat again. At least not in the next 48 years ^^^ This mindset won't work in anyone's long term interests. So any candidate, no matter how unsuitable - should be supported by his kinsmen just because they share an ethnicity? 4 Likes |
