THE Action Committee for Restoration of Oodua Sovereignty led by its President, Right Reverend Emmanuel Bolanle Gbonigi has directed Yoruba graduates to henceforth reject postings to Northern States of the country since the zone has become a “slaughter slab for Yoruba Corpers”.

The influential Yoruba group also called on the National Youth Service Corps authorities to urgently review its posting arrangement and patterns to ensure that corps members are posted to states within their geopolitical zones of origin.

“This call should be looked into; otherwise the NYSC may be accused of pre-meditated genocide against Yoruba and other Southern nationalities.”

ACROS said, the eruption of violence occasioning gruesome murders, maiming, arson and displacement of persons in thousands in some parts of Northern Nigeria in the wake of April elections were pointers to the fragility of the entity called Nigeria and the urgent need to undertake a comprehensive review and restructuring of the union.

It said that despite its warnings that restructuring should be done before election was held, the country still went ahead and had the election.

“We have to be radical to have true democracy in the country. We are suffering and the situation is getting worse and worse. ACROS and other Yoruba groups would work together to fight for our right without being violent.”

The group maintained that the rules governing the scheme had been rubbished adding that “If you want our children to work in your land, you have to guarantee their safety. We cannot sit down and watch and be watching our youths being slaughtered like rams. We won’t accept this again”

“We cannot use our retirement money to train our children and later they would now bring their dead bodies to us here. We shall not accept any more deaths of our people. When our youths are given employment, they don’t give them jobs, but they give them on contract for a while. And when they notice their children have been trained for the jobs, they sack our children. We are going to use legitimate weapon to fight for our rights”, the group stated.

“We will continue to pressurize the so called political leaders to do politics the way it should be practised. Else, there will be revolution. If things are not right, I am going to be the one to lead the revolution”, the bishop said.

Continuing, the group maintained “It seems our youth corps members are to provide human manpower for the North. How many of Northern youth corpers do you see here in the South? They keep them up there in their zone. To say it is to strengthen the unity of the country is not the issue. If the scheme is cancelled it would not diminish the said unity”.

as u can see the media has made the north look like hell for nigerians just because some people die in the post election protest

do u know the amount of hausa/fulani and kanuris that die each day in the south yet we complain but no one hears us

a fulani man was killed in ibadan the other day, arewa did not come out to condemn such act

yet the north has not demonized the south, so why should the south do the same

Why was the Fulani man killed?

Although, no murder should be justified, you have to understand that general crime is different from what happened in the North. Hundreds came together with the intent of killing Innocent corpers and Southerners because they lost in an election. Its like ethnic cleansing.

Do you know how disrespectful those hausa herders are? They come with their cows trampling years worth of hardwork in one day. Did we Yorubas get together to kill them?

if u think it is any cleansing then u are mistaking my sister

the media has made people like you to view it as such, how can there be ethnic cleansing in nigeria without OBJ and the authrity of southern origin know about it

if 1 southerner dies in the north, the media will cover that story even to NL, but when a northern muslim dies in the south, it all normal just like bread and tea

this is not fair, i believe this needs to be investigated and the FG needs, i mean seriously needs to do something about the security system and border system and the media houses in Nigeria.

the sooner the better

Supported. Lets start from here

NYSC will just post them to the North again the following year and the following year and the following year, by the time they spend 10 years at home, they will carry their kaya to where they are posted, what we need is for the NYSC to be restructured, personally, I feel they should all serve in the armed forces and be sent out maybe three times a week to civilian posts to work, they should live in barracks and be trained just like military men, the boys up north know that they can not attack military men and go scot free, na instant justice.

Scrap youth service

All of this in anticipation of World War 3 or what?? 

Why would the average Nigerian graduate need military training??

Why do other countries of the world have their youths do compulsory military service? In Israel, every citizen is a member of the armed forces and can be called up at anytime. I hope you know that it was the military that gave us the internet, you do not need to be a combatant to be in the military.

And the likes of Zstranger and his cohorts are here rejoicing about the so called union of the North and South west. Of course we can see the difference when true yoruba sons are talking and not some of the myopic ones we have here in nairaland.

The ugly truth is that the Huasa/Fulani are slowly but steadily alienating theselves from the rest of Nigerians.
As it stands today, the Beron of Plateau is more comfortable withe the "Nyamiri" of South East.
The polictical class refuses to understand that oil and water can never mix and have over the years pretending that we are "one" Nigeria.
Yet, naturally, slowly and steadily, Nigeria is cracking more and more.
If the Northern leaders do not do something now (as I hope its not late), then will wake up one morning either to find that they are all alone in "one" Nigeria.

Let the truth be told, the problem posed with radical Islam, the dream of forceful Islamisation or total annihiliation of "infidels" by a section of the North is a complex one that Nigeria will never know peace without something unique and drastic. The federal Govt has limits what they can do.

The Northern leaders must see the evil of the violent brand of islam and do soemthing fast about it.
