Position of the Yoruba Self Determination Groups on
the State of the Nation MEDIA STATEMENT
The O’odua Nationalist Coalition ,(ONAC) has called
on Yoruba people to prepare for their own sovereign
nation in the face of the lingering problems and
conflict built around the national question that has
stunted the growth of Nigeria for over a century.
This conflict has again reared its head, 50 years after
a civil war that inflicted pain and misery on the
Yoruba people apart from distorting the development
plan of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo for the South
West.
ONAC is made up of 18 Pan Yoruba groups including
the Oodua Peoples Congress, (OPC), Oodua
Liberation Movement, (OLM), Oodua Republic
Coalition, (ORC), Yoruba Revolutionary Congress,
(YORC), Oodua Muslim-Christian Dialogue Group ,
(OMDG), Yoruba Students Nationalist Front, (YOSNF),
Oodua Hunters Union, (OHUN) and 11 other groups.
The statement was signed by Micheal Popoola,
Oluwole Suleiman and Mrs Aduke Fadahunsi on
behalf of the coalition.
The group called on Yoruba people in the territories
of the Hausa-Fulani North to be guided by a strong
sense of history and the fact that they will not be
spared by those who claim to be their hosts. We
advise them to begin to make alternative plans for
the inevitable upheaval being promoted by the Fulani
oligarchy.
The group said the North has always been the
aggressor because of the region’s loss of power and
the unhidden desire to make Nigeria the irreversible
extension of the Fulani emirate. What we see is
violent conflict of civilisations which can only be
resolved when each region go her own way. In the
bid to keep Nigeria as one country, millions of people
have been killed and the lives of children wasted, the
future pauperized and the potentials of Yoruba young
men and women bottled or chained with fetters of
iron.
“Today, we make the historic declaration that Yoruba
people are ready for our own Oduduwa Republic. We
have watched events these past days. The cloud is
getting thicker. The poisonous rain appear ready to
fall. It is time for the Yoruba people to be ready to
defend our homeland from being seized by local
imperial elements and their collaborators. We assert
Yoruba self-determination and sovereignty. We shall
work for it. We will actualize it,” ONAC said in the
statement issued at the weekend.
The groups said the Yoruba people have suffered
unprecedented hardship in the form of human and
material destruction since 1960 when the country
attained independence.
“Our leaders beginning from Chief Obafemi Awolowo
were jailed on trumped up charges. 28 leaders of
Yoruba were imprisoned unjustly. Chief M.K.O Abiola
was murdered. The industrial bases built by Awolowo
were destroyed by the military rookies appointed to
control the South West region, our culture destroyed
and the future of our young people put asunder.
Today, many Yoruba people have become scavengers
across the world fleeing from a hostile, bloodletting
and malicious country that hold no promise of good
and abundant life for the long suffering and
exhausted population.
The group stated further “we call on Yoruba people
all over the world to prepare for a sovereign nation
for the people of the South West. We are over 50
million and far more than the population of 140
countries in the world. Yoruba will be the third
biggest nation in Africa and about the 28th biggest
nation in the world. We are big and knowledgeable
enough to be a sovereign nation. We assert the
Yoruba self-determination without any further delay.”
The Pan Yoruba group said with the position of
Northern youths asking Igbo to quit the North, the
outright demand for Arewa sovereignty by the
Northern Elders Forum, (NEF), and the legitimate
demand for Biafra by Igbo, the call for a Niger-Delta
Republic “It is time for the Yoruba people to stand for
Oodua Republic without any further delay. Yoruba
people this time will not support any attack on Self
determination.We shall mobilise the masses and
prevent Yoruba people from being used for any
attack on the long suffering indigenous peoples of
the South East and the South- South"
ONAC said the quit notice issued by the Arewa Youth
Consultative Forum, (AYCF) and the Northern Elders
Forum, (NEF) was not against the Igbo alone but also
against the Yoruba since Igbo is not written on the
forehead of residents in the North.
ONAC stated “ This is not the first time we have called
for Oodua Republic. In April 2015, we organized a
massive rally demanding for Oodua Republic. But
today, this demand has become even more crucial
than any other thing.

Minority Republic too go soon start

You want to use the biafran fight to achieve your own abi? No let your oga, the north catch you.

Exactly as I predicted, I told people that though the biggest castigators of the biafra agitation has been yorubas but once their seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, they too will want to get their own. Always treacherously looking for someone else to fight for them to benefit from.

Afonja talk; take it with a pinch of salt

Cowards have started chanting for Oduduwa
Liver less tribe

They are only waiting for the igbo to fly on their wings.

Treachery masters
