Yoruba Recolonizing Ijaws In Ondo - Hon. Success Torhukerhijo by ThumbzTNA(m): 7:04pm On Dec 14, 2021 |
Hon. Success Torhukerhijo representing Ese-Odo Constituency which is the ijaw area i Ondo state has called to public knowledge attempta by yorubas in Ondo to recolonize and forcefully assimilate the indigenous ijaws in Ondo. The cited the attempt to force Ijaws in Ondo to Odua anthem as one of such experiments. Residents of Ondo State of the Ijaw extraction have kicked against the state government adoption of the Odua anthem The Ijaws urged the state government to immediately put on hold the Odua anthem adoption and conferred with Ijaw leaders to come up with the Ijaw version of the anthem if it must be sung in public places. It would be recalled that the dissolved State Executive Council last week approved the adoption of the Odua anthem to be sung after the National Anthem at official and public functions. It said the Odua anthem was meant to project the tradition and culture of the Yoruba tribe. But the Ijaws described the action as highly provocative and very irritating, saying it portends a deliberate affront to the peace loving Ijaws of Ondo State. The Ijaws accused Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of running Info without recourse to the pluralistic nature of the State.

Success Torhukerhijo representing Ese-Odo Constituency, said it was preposterous to adopt an anthem for the state in Yoruba language without thinking of the concerns of the Ijaws where the state has two ethnic nationalities- the majority Yoruba and the minority Ijaw. Hon Torhukerhijo in a statement issued in Akure said it was a ploy to obliterate the Ijaws from the history of Ondo State. Torhukerhijo urged Governor Akeredolu to tow the path of his predecessors who he said created a Subordinate Area Council which enjoyed almost equal status with other Local Governments in the state in 1981. He said the action has put an average right thinking Ijaw man into psychological trauma saying it smacked of lack of social equality and an antithesis to a united, just and free society. According to him: “It is perplexing that the Governor in spite of his pedigree does not possess the political will for an all-inclusive government and the Ijaws of Ondo State have been consistently subjected to neglect and abandonment on issues of state by his executive and administrative actions. “It is pitiable that the Ijaws with a lot of qualified manpower do not have a Permanent Secretary, no Judge in the State High Court and we are short-changed in every facet of the State public service by Governor Akeredolu’s executive and administrative actions. It is pathetic that we have only one Magistrate Court in the whole of the over 250 communities in Ijaw land and no Magistrate is posted to the place. “The Governor is beckoned to strive to run an all-inclusive Government by considering the interest of the Ijaws in Ondo state in his administrative and executive actions and in all aspects of governance. “This is intolerable and is outrightly rejected by the Ijaw ethnic nationality.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/thenationonlineng.net/ijaws-reject-adoption-of-odua-anthem-in-ondo/amp/ 1 Like |

The Ijaws are immigrants in Onfo State, if allowed to grow wings enough and expand, they'll stand clamoring for statehood. 6 Likes 1 Share |

You’ve been trying your best to cause division between Ijaws and Yorubas due to your own online battles with the Ijaws and you don’t want Ijaws and Yorubas to be brothers. Ask yourself if that is acting in a way that follows Jesus, or follows the master of division Satan. God is watching you. You should be ashamed of yourself. 1 Like |
