The Ondo State Government has made it compulsory for all pupils and students in the state to recite the Oodua Anthem in their schools .

The order reportedly affects all the private and public institutions from primary to tertiary level in the state.

This was contained in a circular sent to all stakeholders from the state Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The circular was signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr Akin Asaniyan.

The circular, titled ‘Recitation of Oodua Anthem in all schools’, was made available to our correspondent on Thursday in Akure.

It read in part,“Please note that, at the just concluded inter-schools debate and award ceremony organised by Ondo State Ministry of Education Science and Technology, held on Thursday February 25, 2021, at the International Culture and Event Center (The Dome) , Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, announced that the state has adopted the Oodua Anthem and it is to be recited by the residents of the state.

“In the light of this development, Mr Governor has directed that the anthem is now compulsory in all public and private schools ( primary and secondary), as well as tertiary institutions in the state, to be recited by all students and teachers henceforth.”

They can't recite that trashy anthem while under Nigeria, maybe when they get their oduwa kingdom, they can do whatever they like, foolish governor

.

If anyone is not okay with it, let him or her move out and go back to his/her hut in her region

This should be done in all SW states.
Yoruba regional integration, taking shape

God Bless South West
God Bless all Yoruba lands
God bless all Yoruba People

SuperBold:


I think other state in the SW have it too

Akeredolu be correct yoruba man. He is proof that marrying an ibo/non-yoruba wife shouldn't necessarily make a Yoruba man turn into a culturally emasculated simp. Seyi Makinde should go and apprentice under Aketi on how to grow some balls.

Really?
I'm not sure, I think what they have is individual state anthem

Commendable. Iboes in Ondo schools must have to pledge allegiance to Oodua as they recite our anthem. We keep colonizing these people but they run to nairaland to beat their gully erosion battered chests.

There is nothing your Fulani president can do about it.

We are Yoruba People

You and the point of this news are far apart.

Instead of seeing what is coming as regards the unity of Nigeria , the fact Akeredolu is already preparing for dissolution of Nigeria by ordering the recitation of Oodua Anthem.

But no, it is the Igbos that are causing you heartache.

Aketi usually lives in Ibadan.

Makinde married Ijaw not Igbo.
