Despite the restores peace at Bodija Market in Ibadan after a clash between Yoruba and Hausa traders, the Yoruba people have vowed to remain around the market despiteits closure by the authorities of Ibadan NorthLocal Government.
On Saturday morning, the traders had shifted their wares from the market, lining up on bothsides of the U.I.-Secretariat road.
Butchers who had their sales disrupted the previous day were seen with their chunks of meat which were obviously the left-over of theprevious day.
Also, there was display of various items like vegetable, pepper, fish, yams and other edible things usually sold inside the market, just as customers also stood by the road side to haggle over prices while purchasing items.
Police patrol teams from different divisions within Oyo State Police Command were seen standing at strategic points to prevent entry into the market as well ensure that there was no breakdown of law and order.
However, some of the youths who were seen gathered at the entrance of the market vowed to resist the attempt of the Hausa to take over the control of economy in a part of Yoruba land.
Saheed Baoku said they would not allow the Hausas to catch them unaware. "We hereby beg all Yoruba to support us in this fight to liberate ourselves from oppression.
'We have been idle and can no longer feed ourfamilies because the Hausas have destroyed our businesses. When we were going to Maiduguri to purchase beans, we were selling at cheap price but when they started bring thefoodstuff in, the price went up."
He recalled that the Hausa had always been a problem for them in the market, recalling that even when Bodija Division was burnt by members of the ethnic group living within the market in June 2012 it was the Yoruba that suffered the consequences.
"Despite the curfew placed on the states in theNorth East, the Hausas are still plying their trade while we sit back at home, suffering. We believe that enough is enough," Baoku, who was surrounded by other youths, stated.
He spoke further that the issue had gone beyond what the local government could handle, appealing to prominent sons of Yoruba in Ibadan such as Alhaji Arisekola Alao, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, among others, to cometo their aid.
He disclosed that the youths in the market got information that the Hausa had gathered bows, arrows and guns with which they would attack the Yorubas and had hidden themselves in a Hausa mosque close the plank market.
"That is why we decided to come to the market despite the closure order, so that they would not go and destroy our goods," he added.
According to a source, two buses belonging tothe Oyo State government, popularly known as'Ajumose Shuttle' were used in evacuating Hausa traders out of the market on Friday, as the Yoruba traders refused to leave, waiting for an opportunity to slug it out with their Hausa counterparts

Bloody tactics, ensures utter misery for host communities! Except these yoruba guys employ the usual south-western diplomacy often mistaken for cowardice, the host community will never know peace again- another middle east is born. So is the lot of all who hospitably harbour jobless hausa miscreants. If you doubt me ask my fellas in Riyom plateau state, bokkos, barkin Ladi, lantan, kachia kaduna state, zonkwa etc

Hmmmmm



.

cowards.

Internal colonization and Domination even in Ibadan

that's why I maintain that our worst enemies in Nigeria are hausa and fulanis plus kanuri.

all this Yoruba ibo wahala are just family misunderstanding which usualy happen in every family.

Did I not read somewhere that Yorubas said they will fight boko haram with their juju. The time is now, unlesh the juju now before abokis do what they did to kwara in Ibadan. Make una remember Ife is not too far from Ibadan if they capture Ibadan they will install EMIR in Ife. If that happens Oduduwa will do a spider man again.

Please where is loud Mouther FFK let him come and tell the whole world how many Hausa/Fulani ladies he has slept with and how they accommodated the Hausa Fulani in Ibadan.

I doubt if the Hausa-fulani will be fully accepted anymore in that market, and the yoruba people are ready if the hausa traders try nonsense

Yoruba Land = Honey
they all want to lay claim as the owner of the honey
Proudly Omo Yoruba

ifa hear. Story teller's. Yoruba's won't do nada. Na today.. They will kill yuh guys like cows.. Cowards.!

This is a big blow to the Tinubu-Buhari Alliance.

This is what happen when a hunter try to tame and domesticate a wild animal! Tinubu she you hear? Your alliance with these boko haram is yeilding the wrong fruit!

olabukola: That picture looks like a seen from a city on curfew. Did Hausa people ask them to hands up? When will this hausas behave themselves? We should match them fire to fire this is happening in Ibadan not kano of Sokoto.

Nope, that was the operation burst.

I agree with you. Those Hausa don't value life. But this current rift seems to be caused by beans and I ask, is it only beans they sell in that market?
