MrMaestro:Hmmn.... with all due respect, would this measure not be too drastic? There are people from minority groups like myself, who have lived, worked and studied in the SW region for years. I even know a few people who are not Yoruba, but are so assimilated into the Yoruba culture, that they are even alienated from their own paternal culture. Some of their maternal grandparents can trace their origins to border towns within the SW region. Would they be deported too? This needs a lot of careful thought & consideration... 4 Likes 1 Share |

Good job here, this is a Den of the Yoruba intellectuals. I went through all the pages and read every word. Well done Eyin temi! I have finally seen a thread where i can pitch my tent daily. A lot have been said and more to be raised. I am happy we have started seeing that this One-Nigeria thing will someday collapse and we have to start preparing for whatever happens. Once again, well done eyin eje mi. 10 Likes |

laudate: Those that are yorubanized will be the last of our worries. It is easy to know this if their families have spent generations here as you've stated. Their parents and grandparents will be recognized by the government as residents in the region and will be overlooked. Those that are more recent arrivals will definitely be subject to more scrutiny and most will be deported unless: you are not a criminal, you are intelligent and have a technical skill you're offering to yoruba society, and most importantly if you love Yorubas as you love your own brothers. Otherwise, non yoruba residents are most likely to be deported. If somehow a person is deported who is all that is listed, they will most surely gain reentry once they apply and go through the system. Its not an attack on any tribe or minority, it is simply a measure of a protection for future yoruba generations so no one should take it the wrong way. There are countries that allow poor and jobless entry into their country for a better life (ex. US) Then there are countries who only prefer to allow expats and professionals (ex. Japan). I am for the latter. I hope that answers your question. 8 Likes |

FFKfuckedBIANCA: I don't agree with removing Ese-odo local government.. Ilaje is a yoruba sub-group. People like Seyi law (comedian) are ilajes Don't you think a possibility of having an homogeneous yoruba nation with a well defined structure will solve your militancy fears? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Olu317:You are mistaken a Herbal concoction for a vegetable soup. The Ijaw Militancy in Lagos-Ogun-Ondo is much more than the activities of street gangster. Theirs is an insurgency against the Yoruba people in particular and the Nigerian State in general. In what appears to be a shift from a guerilla campaign to conventional combat, the Ijaw Militants are now capturing and holding on to territories in Yorubaland. Few weeks ago, Igbeyin Island at Ijebu Waterside was sacked, and is currently under the occupation of Ijaw Militants whose aim is to completely capture Makun Omi, Ode Omi and beyond If the threat of the Ijaw Militants is not urgently checkmated, the whole of Ijebu Waterside will fall before the Harmattan season. Dont forget that the aducted pupils of the State Model College Igbonla, Epe, are still in their captivity since last month 9 Likes |

Omofunaab2:Ilaje LG is different from Ese-Odo LG. The Atlantic Ocean and Crude Oil Deposit in Ondo is situated in Ilaje. Ese-Odo is where the Ijaws are found in the state. Years ago, the Ijaws at Ese-Odo wanted to take over Ilaje. The Ilaje's fiercely resisted them in a bloody battle at Aiyetoro before former Presidet Obasanjo ordered the Soldiers to intervene and bombard Alabere I insist that the Ijaws have no place in an independent Yoruba country. They are all inclined to militancy. 5 Likes |

FFKfuckedBIANCA:No sir. The Ijaws in Ese Odo local government migrated there and were accommodated there by indigenous Yorubas. If we are no carve out such people, we only need to deport them and not carve out our own land. Though majority of Ese Odo people are indigenous Yorubas. 5 Likes |

There will be a free entry and exit into Oduduwa Republic for all Edos, Urhobos, Itsekiris, Isokos and Ebira people. All Yorubas of Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, Brazil and Caribbean countries will have the right to enter Yorubaland at any point and time provided they are not married to a country whose indigenous people have called our land "no man's land" at any point. Yoruba in this context means you were born by a Yoruba father from any of the afforementioned countries and where you were born by a Yoruba mother, your father must not in any way be related to any country whose indigenous people are known to have worked against the interest of Yorubaland at any time. 5 Likes |

If we are going to be selective by extending automatic Yoruba-pass to Laudate, why do we not just extend to the other Yorubanized people from the over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria? Better still, why do we not just remain in Nigeria rather than rack brains over what a Yoruba state would be like. Yes, we may have soft spots for folks we have bonded or have relations with but this is about Yoruba as a nation, its interest takes precedence. Our forefathers made a mistake with political correctness, sophistication of accommodation and being blinded the 'cuteness' of people being 'Yorubanized' a la Azikwe Nnamdi & his NCNC crop of Igbo loyalist who were creeping over institutions in the southwest like yam leaves. Please, matters surrounding Laudate & people like him would have to take the back seat or they may have to go first. This is Africa not USA, adopting other people's culture still does not bring you into the fold. Heck, children with one of their parents being from certain parts in Yoruba land are cut out of scheme of things by certain parts in the same Yoruba land; children whose Yoruba parent got married to a non Yoruba parent are seen differently in family matters -- what then is the person who took interest in another man's culture and left his father's? I won't lay things bare but Yoruba has a lot of cleavages within itself to level out first in the case of being an independent state. We cannot have so much family baggages to sort out then slap in matters of outsiders abeg. Yoruba as a nation is not culturally fluid. To be Yoruba is not by eating the food, speaking the language with accent or having abetiaja glued to the scalp. It goes beyond that and it begins with ile-baba. Has anyone ever wondered by our fathers instituted the ebi system? Have you ever wondered its contributions to the sustainment of the nation? The closest thing to a metropolitan type of stuff we had where everyone could come in to integrate was Ibadan and every (family) compound in Ibadan traces its root to another compound elsewhere. We need to be very pragmatic. This should be about correcting all mistakes of the past and also blending all sub-sections together to prevent old frictions. Something Yorubanized foreigners may harp on to give us problems. Yoruba r'onu; forget sophistication and political correctness. Make Baba Awo your guide for our development but make Baba SL Akintola your guide in putting Yoruba first especially when dealing with foreigners, Yorubanized or not. 5 Likes |

Obaluf0n:Don't worry, we understand you very well. Even the part left unsaid, can be decoded. Everyone is quite comfortable waiting for your group to brainstorm, deliberate and thrash out this delicate issue extensively among yourselves, before coming to a conclusion. None of us are in a hurry. We respect your views. Even Baba Awo had close aides like Pa Rewane in his inner caucus, and chose Odia Ofeimun as a personal secretary. So please take your time regarding this issue. Wishing you all the best. Peace. and thank you. P.S: I will not lie, though. I found this part of your post, a rather difficult pill to swallow. But I want to believe that you wrote it, as you felt it - because you were trying to make a point, and not to cause any hard feelings. Non-Yoruba folks like us are quite comfortable in our own minority ethnic skin, and our due regard for your kith & kin stems from long interactions over the years. But no stress, sha.

FFKfuckedBIANCA:You know the ijaw, wherever the water flows, they follow. What in the world concern Ijaw with Ijebu? Every Ijaw militancy element must be eliminated completely from Yorubaland. The Ijaw militancy used to be confined to Ondo state, now it's spread to Ogun and Lagos state. Due to the immigration nature of Ijaw, I even question the claim to Ese odo as it's completely cut off from the Ijaw mainstream by Yoruba and Edo people. 3 Likes |

Yoruba people have a constitution, but I don't think this is the secret and original one drafted by Bola Ige and Gani Fawehinmi and Co. Funy how Yoruba people have their own constitution to set in motion anytime Nigeria kpafuka, but the so-called chest beaters have nothing but akpu breath with all their decades of Biafra noise. 8 Likes |
