Sunday Adeyemo, a Yoruba activist in the South-West, has vowed to reopen land borders closed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mr Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, stated this during a meeting in Ibadan on Wednesday. The video clip where he made the vow is also circulating on social media.

Nigeria share lengthy borders with Benin Republic across its southwestern parts. High volume of transborder trading occur through the Seme Border lying west of Lagos. Traders in the region often bring their goods through the border as it apparently offers cheaper costs compared to the nation’s ports.

Economic activities around the border have however been crippled since the closure of all land borders by the Buhari administration.

The activist in his recent reaction also appealed to his kinsmen residing in the Northern part of the country to return home, adding that the time for secession is now.

Igboho who resisted arrest last month also claimed traditional rulers in the geo-political zone were backing his resolve to actualize Oduduwa Republic.

“After this discussion, we will hold a meeting and open our borders so that rice, food and other things can enter easily. Enough is enough,” Igboho barked.

“All our borders that the Nigerian government closed, we are telling them we are no longer under them, we will go and open the borders. We are ready for everything they want to do to us. I am speaking on behalf of Yoruba people,” he maintained.

Igboho had previously ordered politicians from the South-West to shelve their 2023 political ambitions and join hands with him to actualize his dreams.

He threatened to deal with anyone who will campaign in the Yoruba predominantly area.

Igboho capitalising on ipob online support.

By the time fed govt get hold of you, same ipob miscreants will start bleating "Yorubas can't stand up for their own" up and down like demented goats.

That's how they misled Sowore and ended up screaming Yoruba.

The borders should be open for foodstuffs from neighboring countries to come in with strict security checkpoints. There is no harm in allowing excess food in a country. Only a fool and a wicked idiot will deprive such and give excuses about local farm products! If your products are standard! People will choose it over foreign products.

Difrent:


And complain till eternity that your youths don't have jobs because you have exported the jobs to thai rice farms . Corona virus didn't teach you any lessons , if not for the local food production that has been increased , do you know how expensive food would have been now ? We couldn't import any food during the heat of corona ......let's be grateful for small things atimes ,not that the border should be closed to export though but on importation of what we can produce , the border closure is a blessing .

MansoryMX:


Your Government was complaining about the price of foreign rice being too expensive. How much was foreign rice before the border closure? And how much is local rice right now? The last bag of local rice I bought for my parent (that’s what they eat even before the border closure) got expired before a month and became shafts! If not for Customer and Seller relationship I would have asked for a refund. Let’s not talk about the porous border up north where northern traders breeze in and out of the country as they do wish! It was because of the border closure the north had the audacity to stop transporting foodstuffs to South West the other day! Let’s call a spade what it is. So what exactly is your point Okoro?
