Caution your militants, Oodua groups warn ijaw leaders.
….says Yoruba, Buhari alliance has collapsed
A network of pan Yoruba groups has asked Ijaw leaders to caution militants operating in Ikorodu areas of Lagos, warning that the continuous killings of innocent Yoruba people may prompt reprisal attacks on Ijaw interests in the entire Southwest areas.
The groups issued the statement after an extensive meeting in Lagos on Thursday night. Over 25 leaders of Pan-Yoruba groups attended the all night meeting. It said that Yoruba people are being raped and killed in the day and night. "Why these elements may not be acting on behalf of teh entire Ijaw nation, the Ijaw leaders certainly know how to tame them."
In the statement issued by the groups, the alliance said militants of Ijaw extraction have been attacking Yoruba communities and that in the last count, 89 Yoruba people have been killed in the most gruesome manner.
This is unprovoked aggression against the Yoruba nation. We warn that the mainstream Yoruba self determination groups will respond with equal measure if the continuous attack on Yoruba people continues.
Several groups who signed the communiqué included the Oodua Peoples Congress, (OPC), Oodua Nationalist Coalition (ONAC), Oodua Liberation Movement, (OLM), Yoruba Renaissance Movement, (YRM), Agbekoya, Movement for Yoruba Autonomy, (MOYA), Yoruba Revolutionary Vanguard, (YRV), Oodua Autonomy Coalition, (OAC) amongst others.
The groups said that the killing of Yoruba women, raping of mothers, kidnapping of people from their homelands and forcing people to flee their ancestral territories represent a declaration of war on Yoruba people. The group said these attacks have been intensified since former President Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw person lost power.
The groups stated “It is becoming clearer that the Ijaw leaders see Yoruba as their enemies. This is insensible and rash on their path. It shows lack of deep thinking. The Yorubas are not responsible for the mass looting of Nigeria under Jonathan. Mr Jonathan was the architect of his own downfall. He saw a golden opportunity and bungled it. He also deliberately worked with notable vogues and drug barons in Yorubaland neglecting the tradition of ethical high ground of Yoruba philosophy.”
The groups said that the militants have created armed camps across the waterways in Yorubaland, saying that this can only come from those bent on attacking and inflicting injuries on the psyche of the Yoruba people.
The network also berated the lopsided appointments by the President Mohammed Buhari’s administration saying that the President’s main mission is to relaunch Hausa-Fulani domination of Nigerian ethnic groups. “President Buhari is on a dangerous mission. He is seeking revenge where there should be love. We are not opposed to the anti-corruption crusade, but he has left the root cause of corruption which is the lopsided structure and institutions that represent eternal faultlines of Nigerian imperfect democracy. The network said that the alliance between the Yoruba and Buhari were put together by “shortsighted and self-serving people” who appear to be guided by self interest rather than the overall interest of the people they represent.
The network stated “It should be clear now to any reasonable person that the alliance with the Hausa-Fulani has collapsed. The Yoruba people should begin the process for the realization of their own Republic for there lay the future of the Yoruba people.”

How come you re just realizing about the ropsidedness of Buhari's appointments and maginalisations? why do you now deny suporting Buhari willfully? why do you want to chanel the blame of your impulsive and zombistic chants and support for Buhari on your top Politicians? How come you suddenly realize you need seccesion? You people re iredeemable zombistic Cowards with no principles, but I condamn any act of killing or rape by any militant (if there be any)
