Planned Protest: Youths Vow To Defend South-West Against External Forces
LeadershipJul 19, 2024 12:19 PM

The Yoruba Youth Socio-cultural Association (YYSA), has vowed to defend the Southwest region and its heritage against all external forces that may threaten the peace, unity and development in the region.



YYSA gave the assurance following the planned protest against hardship in the country by some groups scheduled to hold in August.


National President of YYSA, Olalekan Hammed and the National Secretary, Olawale Ajao in a statement on Friday in Ibadan, said it had uncovered secret plans by some unscrupulous elements to take advantage of the intending nationwide protest against hardship to perpetrate evils.

According to the youths, there is a plan by the people to set major economic development facilities ablaze in the Southwest.

“We have uncovered some secret plans by unscrupulous elements to take advantage of the intending nationwide protest against hardship to perpetrate evils by setting ablaze all our major economic development facilities in Southwest.

“Besides that, they have as well mapped out some strategic areas to ensure that they navigate easily to palaces menacingly and burn them to ashes”, the youths alleged.

They added that local government secretariats were also part of the public properties targeted for destruction by the people.

“Moreover, it is our prerogative to defend Southwest region and heritage against all external forces that may be threat to peace, unity and development.


“For this reason, we hereby unequivocally declare that the scheduled mass protest has been put on hold in order to secure and protect Yoruba land from enemies of progress disguising as students and activists to put us into peril socially and economically”, they said.

Meanwhile, the Yoruba group commended the President Bola Tinubu-led administration for ensuring that justice prevailed for all tiers of government to operate as enshrined in the Nigerian constitution.

“They are as well known as the three levels of government through which legislative lists were shared as follows; exclusively legislative list, concurrent legislative list and residual list.

“Although, the state governments that constitutionally share some powers in the residual legislative list with local governments have dominated everything, while the constitutionally recognised third tier of government has become castrated”, the youths added.

While noting that genuine development starts from the grassroot at the local government level where people are engaging mostly in primary activities such as farming, fishing, craft, hunting, petty trading and others, the YYSA said, “Essentially, agriculture products and food items are being transported to cities after successful harvest in rural areas under local administrations.’

It further explained that the issue of security can best be tackled at local level where suspicious persons can easily be identified.

Toh

Yorubas are smart people so please take your protest to your land.

Many people don't know that there are groups of IPOB terrorists who have rehearsed how they will burn down the trains and stations of both the Blue and Red lines..

Many of them are on this same NL.

The Northerners want to protest in the North alone, but the people still receiving 15K per month from their governor, people receiving flogging every Monday to sit at home, region that is still commissioning waste bin want to protest in SW especially Lagos to finish their 2020 assignment, I laugh in Congo.

Let them defend it against Fulani first

Alarm raised very early.

Kudos to them.. Continue staying gallant until we see this through.

Also, Lagosians should be watchful of strange people in their numbers. OPC should do the local fishing out

Tinubu trying hard to Stop the protest, you can't beat a child and expect him not to crying.

Bro, did you know there was a protest in Lagos yesterday. Most people don't know.

Subtly, Lagos had their protest already, let the rest be transferred to other places. Abi after protest what else

Your plans have been exposed once again, Yorubas are not stupid

Lol. Singing in Nelly's voice "Its gettin hot in here" ........
Everyone, even if they live in the SW , should go and protest in their region and States of origin. Tackle your governors and direct leaders. Any Chinasa Michael style lunacy in the SW will be dealt with swiftly.

The whole world knows Yorubas certainly won't be outside their States and region of origin disturbing anyone's peace or instigating chaos in the name of protest.

Na when did president Tinubu turn to youths from the South West.

Okay let's even assuming it's president Tinubu, do you have any issue with him trying to protect his own region?

Shey una don hear? No donate yourself for sacrifice ooooo, because Ogun go kee several stubborn goats. Be warned

God bless you ojare. I remember after #EndSARS. Every Tom, d1ck and Harry with a problem wanted to start a protest congregation at Lekki tollgate indicating hidden agenda.

They will sanction protest at Ojota and you will suddenly find them gathering at Lekki Tollgate disturbing residents of the area.

After protests in the SW, which will be 100% peaceful to the shame of anarchists, what else will those desperados who want Tinubu out by any means possible have left to use or hijack?

We have already wished them all the best with their protest from their respected regions. South West People are not interested.

Security operatives should check on Sowore, picking him up early would make sense

It is hand of asau that we are seeing. Protect his region with hunger or what? The only way to protect his region is to promote welfare of the citizens which is the main reason for the protest.

Are you from Lagos state? Any part of SW?

Answer those 2 questions before I can know how to proceed

Grow up. Yorubas learnt their lessons with #EndSARS when Kanu instructed protestors kill Yoruba leaders and burn down Lagos with Chinasa Michael and co heeding his instruction.

The issue is simple enough. Everyone should protest in their states and region of origin. Is that too much to ask for and why are you so worried about the SW alone?

Mobilise for protest in your State and region of origin. Make your own voices heard there and there alone. Burn and destroy in the process if you so wish. Leave SW to Yorubas.

You can see the destruction Chinasa Michael, all the way from Anambra, visited on Lagos State. Never again.

As they should. Why should their region be playground for those that wants to destroy infrastructure that costs tax payers money to build.

Sowore is an external force?

Ebin pawa is a foreign language?

Don't mind them. God will punish all the anarchists with their hidden agendas instigating protests in the SW rather than facing their own region.

How Chinasa Michael, a jobless 21 year old from Anambra, was not lynched after the destruction he caused below is still a mystery to me.

A word is enough for the wise

It seems some people are brewing for war

Igbos don say they will never partake nah and warned each igbo

So this confused youths wont defend south west against skull mining and Fulani herdsmen invasion?

Lol. Igbos said same during #EndSARS. Meanwhile DJ Witch Switch, Obianuju Udeh, was busy lying, Kanu was busy instructing his foot soldiers to visit death and destruction on Lagos with Mefor sending coded messages to IPOB and Biafrans per how to hide their real agenda, cause chaos and remain unidentified.

No one is falling for your Taqiyah. We have learnt our Lessons in Lagos and the SW. Protest in your States and region of origin. Simple.
