We don’t want to lose our identity, dignity – Northern Yoruba obas tells Ooni


Yoruba traditional rulers with their domains in the northern part of the country have pleaded with the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi not to abandon them.

The monarchs, majorly from Kwara and Kogi States, in the North Central regions, during a courtesy visit to the Ooni in Ile-Ife, said they needed all necessary assistance from the kinsmen to retain a link with their ancestral roots.

A statement issued by the Ooni’s spokesperson, Moses Olafare stated that the monarchs were led to the Ile-Oodua palace by the Obaro of Kabba, Oba Dele Owoniyi.

Oba Awoniyi is his remark, said, “Kabiyesi, we have a lot of work to do for our people with regards to where we found ourselves in modern Nigeria. There are real issues of development deficit which I am sure we can overcome with your might and influence. Be assured that our loyalty to the ancient throne of Oduduwa is never in doubt.”

Corroborating the Obaro’s position, the Elulu of Mopa, Oba Muyiwa Ibeun, said the monarchs in northern region look up to the Ooni for leadership, saying, “this is homecoming for me and my colleagues here, we are here to thank Your Imperial Majesty as well as commending you for dignifying the prestigious traditional institution.”

In his remark, the Elejuku of Ejuku (Kogi State), explained that most children of Oduduwa of Okun origin are at great disadvantage as they are often regarded as second or third Yoruba.

“Kabiyesi Ooni, we are tired of being referred to as lesser Yoruba because of our location, those who demarcated us in those days did not consult us and that is why they did not factor in our peculiarities.

“We want you to use your connection and position to return us home and reunite us with our kinsmen. We are your children and we cannot afford to be regarded as lesser descendants of Oduduwa.” The monarch noted.

The stance was buttressed by the Olusin of Isin, Kwara State, Oba Solomon Oloyede who added that the Ooni must not relent in ensuring that all descendants of Oduduwa are in perfect condition at all times.

Responding, Oba Ogunwusi assured the monarchs that their kinsmen in the southwest region duly recognised and appreciated them.

So, the Northern Yoruba Obas are suddenly concerned about identity and dignity?

Funny how Peter Obi was all about unity, yet here we are with divisions popping up like weeds.

If only he had focused on real issues instead of playing politics with people's emotions.

Ooni, keep doing your thing; some of us recognize true leadership when we see it.

Let's be honest with ourselves, if we want Nigeria to progress and remain one then it is time we all faced reality. We are divided based on ethnicity to a large extent and based on religion to a lesser degree. It's time for a total overhaul of this country. Let's go back to regionalism where people of same heritage get to be in the same region.

Note I said same heritage. I see no reason why Yoruba or Igbo land will be split into different geopolitical zones when they should have been together in their own respective zones. The Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi should be in the South West, the Igbos in the South South should be in the South East, the Ijaws should be together in their own geopolitical zone, same with the Akwa-Cross people, the Edo people should be together with the Urhobo, Ukwuani, Isoko etc who they share similar heritage with.

Let's have at least 10 different region's whereby each region is made of people who have agreed to be together in that region either based on cultural, ethnic or religious similarities. It doesn't matter the size or population of each region, there will be nothing like federal allocation as each region will have to fend for itself and send a small fraction of its income to the Federal Government. Every region will use it's own resources for itself alone, only off-shore resources will be shared among all regions or better still, all off-shore resources will be used to fund only the federal government and the Capital.

This is how it should be. Nobody should forcefully drag anybody into joining any group but they must show their convinction.

But what can Ooni do, after talking to Ooni they need to push for referendum.

Modified: This is basically a Yoruba thread for Yoruba people by Yoruba people. I hope the whole world are seeing the Igbo comments. One thing Yorubas will say now and everybody will turn to victims.

Are they northerners or are they yorubas?
Are they Yoruba obas leading northerners or Northern obas leading Yorubas?
Are they slaves or leaders of the slaves or installed to control the slave??

What us meant by "returned home"? Is kwara not a Yoruba state?

if it were igbos in another geopolitical zone they will verbally deny being Igbo, I don't know why, or is it so that they will not be killed when they start to kill igbos or so that federal government will not marginalise like they do igbos,

What boundaries are there between Yorubas in West Africa that are not man made?
Are they like the boundaries between SW and SE?

I don't think that person you responded to is even a Nigerian? Their level of thinking is very shallow.
Their aim is to keep youths distracted while they mess up the country.
