We Want Our Own Country – Yoruba Leader, Akintoye Tells Buhari by Kwanza: 11:13am On Sep 24, 2020 |
The leader of Yoruba ethnic group, Professor Banji Akintoye has said that Yoruba ethnic group is in dire need of its own country out of the present Nigeria. Akintoye said that over 55 million people of Yoruba extraction, will get their freedom without breaking the law of the country or shedding blood. The renowned historian made these declarations during the celebration of Kiriji war held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Wednesday. DAILY POST gathered that Kiriji war happened in Yoruba land many decades ago. Present at the celebration included Otun Olubadan, High Chief Lekan Balogun who represented the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji, Otunba Deji Osibogun, Wale Alabi, Comrade Olu Omotosho, Opeoluwa Elisha Ademoyegun and Iyanda Wasiu. Akintoye while insisting that nothing would stop the liberation of Yoruba from its enemies, awakened the youths, who he said, were very important in the fight for struggle. He said, “We have been saying we will have a Yoruba nation of our own. Yoruba World Congress is committed to helping Yoruba nation to secure its position in the comity of nations. “They do say I don’t compromise. It is not every time. But once we say, we will take a common stance, I don’t know how to betray. We will get Yoruba nation free without violence, we will not break the laws of Nigeria. If there is anyone who wants to be violent, we will tell them, no. “If you are violent and there are dead bodies on the streets, you are circumventing our purpose. We are telling the world that we want our own country. We have the rights to demand for our rights. When we launched Amotekun, was there any arrest, violence? If you want to stage a rally, do so. It’s your rights but no violence. “I have passion for the youths. If you don’t have people who can take after you, no matter the amount of wealth you have it’s nothing. These youths are important. We elders can only guide and lead you. We can write letters but it is you who will do it. It must succeed. Anybody saying contrary, I’m not part of that idea. “In the past of 30 and 40 years ago, the youths have not been the same again. I graduated from the University College Ibadan in the morning and by evening my wife and I were employed. I can’t do the things I’m doing now if I don’t have the youths around me. “We are hurting our future in a very vicious way. Yoruba are 55 million, 74 percent are 40 years and. Step forward and. They have the authority of the land to say you can’t do it. Go back home. No violence. Go to market places, mechanic workshop, farmers on their way to the farms. If you can do this, getting our resolve done will not be difficult.” “We don’t force our will on people. Explain to those organizations who don’t understand what you want. Yoruba will not suffer. We are the most populous in Africa. We want to take our own country and begin to build it. Nothing more,” he concluded. In his own contribution, the leader of Movement for Oduduwa Republic, Architect Akin George explained how they had mobilised other people in Yorubaland. “We went to Okemesi where the Kiriji war started. We saw the king. From there, we went to Imesi Ile and Igbajo. At Igbajo, we noticed disunity between Imesi Ile and Oke Imesi, between Igbajo and Ibadan people there. “We reconciled them. We can’t fight the enemies if home front is divided. We may have misunderstanding but should not lead to quarrel,” he revealed. 3 Likes 1 Share |

When heads of all the security formations in the country are all Hausa/Fulani Muslims, what do you expect. Even the NBA is now divided because of the Fulani agenda. Go to police stations, most of the area commanders are Hausa/Fulani Muslims. Nigeria is being recolonized by some persons. Our lawmakers are now rubbed stamp lawmakers. Even to stage a peaceful rally is an offence. If there can't be proper restructuring, then we better split the country. Fulani herdsmen are busy slaughtering people nationwide round the country and the leadership are not perturbed. They hurriedly declared IPOB a terrorist organization yet the Fulani herdsmen that are killing individuals in their scores on a daily basis are moving without any check. The Boko Haram is receiving state pardon while their victims are being starved to death in different IDP camps. We need to thoroughly review our union in this country. 3 Likes |

We are telling the world that we want our own country. We have the rights to demand for our rights."...Nigeria is a failed state- plagued by its inept rulers, corruption, socio-economic problems, ethnic rivalry and acrimonious rancour.Agitation for separation is not from Igbos alone.Yorubas are calling for the Oduduwa Republic. Buhari’s blatant nepotism in favour of his Fulani clan, alienation & dissatisfaction among the other various constituents of the Nigerian federation have exacerbated agitation for break up.As things continue to fall apart in this long troubled nation, the centre cannot hold. Break up is assured!.." http://saharareporters.com/2020/06/11/%E2%80%98buhari-makes-nigeria-most-dangerous-country-world-christians%E2%80%99-bayo-oluwasanmi |

I laff in lCONIC LAYCON What could possibly be d reason for an Oduduwa republic agitation? This present govt and subsequent ones have always favored d Oduduwas. This present administration and its party was proudly and fully foisted on d rest of d country by these same Oduduwas. A return to democracy in '99 was graced with a president of Oduduwa heritage. June 12 has been nationally gazetted to honor an Oduduwa descendant. So what else is their problem? Una no dey ever belle full? |
