*The Constitution of Yorubaland:*

The Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF) is proud to release to the Yoruba public the Constitution of Western Nigeria first enacted into law on the 7th January 1952 by the Western Region of Nigeria Legislature House of Assembly.

The Constitution was amended on the 1st October 1963 by the Western Region of Nigeria Legislature House of Assembly.

The Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF) is grateful to the LA Law Library in Los Angeles, CA, USA, who provided us with a copy of the Constitution.

This Constitution is older than the Constitution of Nigeria, but there is no single university in Yorubaland that has a copy of the Constitution of Western Nigeria.

Adeyinka Grandson, the President of the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF) will speak on the Constitution of Western Nigeria to, among other things exposed the false narrative of not too young to rule bill recently passed by the unitary presidential system as horrible because under the Constitution of Western Nigeria, people can vote and be voted for at age 21 onwards.

He will sharpen our insight on the fact that under the regional system, regional elections are conducted by the regional electoral commission in each region and not by the Federal Government.

He will show that the 1952 census remains the only authentic census in Nigeria with the Yoruba having the majority of the local government established, unlike now that the Hausa/Fulani rigged census in favour of creating more local governments, states and senatorial districts to themselves.

Adeyinka Grandson will also point out that the Constitution of Western Nigeria only has 94 Legislative Assembly members making law for the entire Yorubaland as compared to the current expensive unitary presidential system that allows all the states in Yorubaland to have Legislative Assembly members according to the number of local government in each state.

Adeyinka Grandson will also address the power of the Head of State of Yorubaland popularly called the Spiritual Head of Yorubaland or the Governor of Western Region of Nigeria. This office is vested on the Ooni of Ife.

Adeyinka Grandson will condemn the proliferation of Obaship across Yorubaland and listed the 87 Obas constitutionally recognized in the Constitution of Western Nigeria who are members of the House of Chiefs, the highest political authority in Yorubaland with the Alaafin as the President of Yorubaland.

Adeyinka Grandson will speak on the issue of funds allocation, expenditure, assets and liabilities, spending and finances of the Western Region as decided by the Premier of the Western Region and the Cabinet without any interference of the Federal Government of Nigeria. And many more.

Please, young Yoruba, particularly the conservatives, kindly read through the Constitution of Western Region. You might come to appreciate the fact that Awolowo's generation was awesome. They included community expansion and adjustments in the legislature to give real time representation.

YYF is working really hard to make our generation better than that of Awolowo's generation. Support our movement with your contribution.

I dont have a copy of the book.

JaffyJoe:
So many efforts has been channeled by leeches into cleaning up historical records of the people of Yoruba land. Imagine this, history of the southern protectorates, pre almagamation status, the ilorin issue amongst others. These guys over the decades have been doing serious cleaning up in our school, national archives, they even cancelled history from schools.

But hey, the consciousness to ask necessary questions is growing by the day. Thank God these foreigners kept records of these things.

tamdun:

If they carried out referendum 100 times in ilorin, they will always choose yoruba, truly there are Fulani in ilorin but Yoruba are the majority, 80% of fulani in ilorin today don't even understand fulani language

The transcript of Adeyinka Grandson’s speech on the Interpretation of the Constitution of Western Nigeria.

Introduction:

I would wish to say a big thank you to the LA Law Library in California, USA, for making available to the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF), a copy of the constitution of Western Nigeria, which was first enacted into law in 1952; amended in 1963; but suspended by the Ibo in 1966. Since then, our lifespans have been miserable as Yoruba people.

Thank you to the YYF members in the United States of America, for working assiduously to bring us a copy of the Constitution of Western Nigeria.

Thank you to the YYF donors for funding the public course of actions of the Young Yoruba for Freedom, particularly my legal fees and personal expenses to carry out the function of the YYF as its President.

A big thank you to the YYF Director of Research and Development for the work on the Interpretation of the Constitution of Western Nigeria and to the Constitutional lawyers who provided their services to the YYF.

A great thank you to the YYF Media Team for working on our campaign and reaching out to 130,000+ viewers in the last 20 days.

Thank to all members of the YYF in Yorubaland, North America, Western Europe, Middle East, and in Asia as well as in the continent of Africa. We must get down to work to build on our weapons of choice - chemical and biological weapons to safeguard and protect our civilization and the generation yet unborn.

Thank you to everyone else, including the leaders of the YYF -the Vice-President, the Director of Intelligence and Cyber Security, the Director of Communication and others. Our movement has done so much to change the course of history in Yorubaland. We must finish the work and bring home the bacon in 2023.

Yoruba Political Boundaries:

The Constitution of Western Nigeria proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the 1914 amalgamation is not the cause of our problem.

The Constitution of Western Nigeria shows that the Yoruba nation used to be an independent state until the Ibo used organised violence to suspend our Constitution and imposed on us the unitary system of government that has rendered Yorubaland poor and wretched.

The Constitution of Western Nigeria shows that Yorubaland as an independent nation was split into five administrative authorities:

1. Regional Authority.
2. Provincial Authority (States).
3. Divisional Authority (LGs).
4. District Authority (Wards).
5. Native Authority (Headed by Baales).

The Constitution of Western Nigeria shows that the Regional Authority was led by the following leaders:

1. The Ooni of Ife as Governor of Western Region (now Head of State).

2. The Alaafin of Oyo as the President of the House of Chiefs and members of the House of Chiefs (now House of Obas).

3. The Premier and his Cabinet Ministers.

4. The Speaker and members of the House of Assembly (now Yoruba Parliament).

The Ooni of Ife; the Alaafin of Oyo and members of the House of Obas; the Premier and cabinet ministers; and the Speaker and members of the Yoruba Parliament, all operated under the Regional Authority.

The next authority after the Regional Authority was the Provincial Authority, which we called state today. There were 9 provincial authorities during the regional government.

1. Oyo Province.
2. Ibadan Province.
3. Abeokuta Province.
4. Lagos colony.
5. Ijebu Province.
6. Oyo-Ife Province.
7. Ondo Province.
8. Benin Province.
9. Ilorin/Kabba Province.

The Ilorin/Kabba province voted in 1955 at the district council and town council levels to be united as part of the Western Nigeria. The results of the referenda were given to Balewa/Zik coalition government. But because they were not Yoruba people, they refused to merge the Ilorin/Kabba province as a part of the province of the Western Nigeria. We have included them as of right in this category.

The next authority after the Provincial Authority was the Divisional Authority, which we called the local government area today. There were 22 divisional authorities in Yorubaland during the regional government under the chairmen.

1. Oyo Division.
2. Osun Division.
3. Ibadan Division.
4. Egbado Division (now Yewa).
5. Egba Division.
6. Remo Division.
7. Ijebu Division.
8. Ife Division.
9. Ilesha Division.
10. Ekiti Division.
11. Owo Division.
12. Ondo Division.
13. Okitipupa Division.
14. Afenmai Division.
15. Benin Division.
16. Delta Division.
17. Epe Division.
18. Badagary Division.
19. Ikorodu Division.
20. Ikeja Division.
21. Ilorin Division.
22. Kabba Division.

The next authority after the Divisional Authority was the District Authority, which is called ward today. There were over 100 districts under the councillors.

The next authority after the District Authority was the Native Authority. There were over 200 native authorities under the Baales.

The Western Nigeria as an independent Yoruba nation had five political boundaries as of 1951 which I have explained above and further listed below as:

Regional Authority (1).
Provincial Authorities (9).
Divisional Authorities (22).
District Authorities (over 100).
Native Authorities (over 200).

Nigeria as a Republic:

The Ibo nation, with nothing in common with the Yoruba nation, used organised violence, assassinated the Yoruba leaders and then suspended our constitution with Decree No. 34 and made Nigeria a Republic in 1966. They then divided Nigeria into 36 states from 4 regions and introduced the unitary presidential system through the power of the guns.

The Ibo nation created the Nigeria of today - corrupt, disorganised, hopeless and a complete shithole.

The Yoruba nation having no guns in the 60s, appealed to the Ibo nation and the Fulani nation to ensure a return to Nigeria as a federation of 10 regions. The Yoruba spoke through Awolowo in May 1967. But the Ibo and the Fulani refused to allow for a return to Nigeria as a Federation under the parliamentary system based on the regional government.

Since the suspension of the Constitution of Western Nigeria, the Fulani has taken over the entire control of the Nigeria’s state with the backing of the English Establishment.

The Fulani through organised violence controlled the Nigeria’s state vis-a-viz:

The Police.
The Armed Forces.
The Judiciary.
The Prisons.
The National Assembly and its parties.
The Intelligence Services.
The Senior Civil Service.
The Border Control.
The Church.
The Mosque.
The Traditional Religion .
The Monarchy.

All serving to preserve the control of Nigeria by the minority Fulani with the backing of the English. The huge economic consequences of this is that since 1966, the Yoruba nation has been subjugated by the Ibo on one hand and the minority Fulani on the other hand and has been unable to meet the 17 sustainable development goals to develop Yorubaland, including:

1. Poverty.
2. Hunger.
3. Good health and well-being.
4. Qualitative education.
5. Gender-equality.
6. Clean water and sanitation.
7. Affordable and clean energy.
8. Decent work and economic growth.
9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure.
10. Reduced inequality.
11. Sustainable cities and communities.
12. Responsible consumption and production.
13. Climate action.
14. Life below water.
15. Life on land.
16. Peace and justice/strong institution.
17. Partnerships to achieve our goals.

The issue of ethnic power, therefore, remains unresolved amongst the three major ethnic groups of Nigeria.

For instance, the Ibo nation wants the continuation of the unitary system and as such supported the minority Fulani to control the presidency of Nigeria so that the latter can help the former to keep the unitary system.

The Fulani nation, a minority, wants to retain its control of the presidency of Nigeria as well as the unitary presidential system, therefore, it enlisted the military support of the English to keep the presidency of Nigeria.

Nonetheless, the Yoruba nation, the majority ethnic group of Nigeria, wants a return to the regional system of government in order for them to be in the driver seat of their own development, growth and sustainability.

To make things worse for the Yoruba nation, the half-Ibo and half-Yoruba people are reluctant to engage with the implication of acting against the collective interests of the Yoruba nation and by default give consent to the subjugation of the Yoruba people because of their divided loyalty.

It is, therefore, obvious that ethnic power remains unresolved amongst these three major ethnic groups of Nigeria and the option of organised violence on the part of the full blooded Yoruba citizens remains the most viable option to defend the glory of the Yoruba nation.

The Ibo nation and the Fulani nation have been intransigent about the need to devolve power back to the ethnic regions and for Nigeria to return to be a Federation.

The Ibo and the Fulani objected to:

1. The devolution of power back to the regions.

2. The decentralization of the police, armed forces, judiciary, intelligence services and public service.

3. The Yoruba control of the presidency of Nigeria since 1959.

4. A peaceful dissolution of Nigeria.

5. A new constitution for Nigeria with a provision for a secession clause to be enshrined in the new constitution.

6. The use of fingerprinting technology to conduct census in Nigeria among other things.

The Ibo and the Fulani want the continuation of the unitary system in which the wealth, resources and the revenues from taxes collected in Yorubaland are used to fund the economic growth and development of their respective regions.

The Ibo and the Fulani are planning to go to war as well as to continue to kill the Yoruba leaders and people like they have always done since the 60s.

It follows that the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF), is leading the young Yoruba people to embrace organised violence with the use of chemical and biological weapons to defend the Yoruba civilisation.

We have decided the weapons for the expected war, the theatre of warfare and our allies.

The weapon of war is chemical and biological weapons because the minority Fulani and the Ibo have seized our waterways and seaports and using our ports to bring in conventional weapons they have stockpiled to continue to kill us. Our best alternative is to ensure that the young Yoruba goes back to the laboratories to develop chemical and biological weapons to defend our civilization.

The theatre of war is Lago state - the cash cow of the Fulani and the Ibo. We have demanded that the young Yoruba blow up the Lagos International Airport, the Lagos Stock Exchange, the Apapa Wharf and the Tin Can Port complex.

We are lobbying the United States of America, the State of Israel, the Federative Republic of Brazil, Portugal, and others to support our course of action and come to do business with the Yoruba nation.

Tinubu Presidency:

There are plans underway to weaken the prospect of Tinubu to become the president of Nigeria from 2023.

The minority Fulani and the Ibo are aware that Tinubu supported the decentralised democracy in which he would devolve power back to the federating regions. They know that Tinubu will end the sham monthly allocation system, including the security vote and constituency allowances to the Governors and the National Assembly members respectively. They are concerned that Tinubu might enshrine a new constitution with a secession clause. They know that Tinubu is pro-Yoruba first and last. They know that Tinubu has the state of mind to break up Nigeria along its natural boundaries. They would wish to end his life the way they ended those of Awolowo and Abiola.

We are the generation that will change the course of history and ensure a full blooded Yoruba in the person of Tinubu as the president of Nigeria from 2023.

Whilst we support Tinubu as the president of Nigeria, we however do not support zoning. The Yoruba as the majority in terms of the population of Nigeria and the economic backbone of the country should always produce the president of Nigeria.

In America, for example, there is nothing wrong with President Trump, a Caucasian has another Caucasian as a deputy. But the Ibo and the Fulani will never accept Tinubu as the President of Nigeria with Fashola as the Vice-President because of the differences in our ethnicities.

The refusal of the Ibo and the Fulani to accept two Yoruba as the President and Vice-President of Nigeria means that there is nothing like One Nigeria. We are not One and we will never be One.

The Ibo calling us One-Nigeria will never accept two Yoruba as President and Vice-President respectively. The Fulani saying that Nigeria is not negotiable will also never accept two Yoruba as President and Vice-President. The solution to the issue of ethnic power play is the devolution of power to the federating regions.

The Ibo must learn to stay in Iboland and make it great. The Hausa and Fulani must learn to stay in their area and make it great. The Yoruba wants to make their region great and not interested in living, working or getting an education in Iboland or the North.
