A group, Oodua Action Movement, has called for an autonomous state of Yorubaland, urging the United Nations (UN), United States (U.S.), African Union (AU), European Union (EU), the Group of Seven (G-7) and other international institutions to come to the rescue.

The group, in a statement signed by its Co-ordinator, Demola Edward, noted that the Yoruba nation, as an ethnic of over 40 million people, should be able to manage its resources.

Edward urged President Muhammadu Buhari to begin the process for an autonomous Yoruba nation as a federating unit in Nigeria, as granted the South-West region upon independence in 1960.

He said: “As citizens in Diaspora, having watched the trend of events in Nigeria from the sidelines over the years and especially the current spate of insecurity of lives and property and the continued degeneration of the country, we have unequivocally concluded that the country with its present structure is in a state of irredeemable rot.

“Nigeria is now in the infamous league of failed nations.
From the foregoing, it is obvious that the present unitary structure of Nigeria has significantly inhibited the country’s growth and prospects.

“We demand an autonomous state for Yorubaland. The Yoruba people claim and demand our rights to self-determination; our rights to autonomously govern our region and manage our resources and own our destiny.

“The Oodua Action Movement, on behalf of Yoruba worldwide, is relentlessly committed to this cause. We are prepared to use all legal and peaceful means within the confines of international laws and norms to actualise an autonomous nation for Yoruba people within Nigeria.”

Best way to go, let start with peacefull dialogue. I am fully in support of autonomy for every region and kwara state and some part of kogi should be included in the western region autonomy. They should not be left to the north else, they will be problem in future.
We need to start the process from the senator and representatives representing us from the West.

Yoruba's in kwara and kogi are good to be included but Igbo's in Delta and Rivers are are not good to be included in Igbo nation. Hypocrites.

In South east we call thieves, the theives they are and not worship drug Barons, never

He looked for our trouble by sending his miscreants and thugs like you to burn our votes in Lagos, thank God we dealt severely with one of his urchins, sending a string message to him that we are ready for him.

And later he also sent his thugs to traders doing their businesses, we can never be intimidated by any idiot, he may be worshiped by hungry miscreants like you, but as long as we are concerned, he's a drug Baron and we don't give a damn about him.

So continue defending a drug Baron so you can eat, but Igbos will never, that's the big difference between you and me, you are a slave, I am a free born.

They don't have the balls to demand for something. They act like they don't want to offend someone.
