Preamble:

Skull mining is the art of digging up the remains of the dead just to use their skulls for ritual purposes. In recent times, the term is being used for the art of cutting off the head of the living for the same purpose in Yorubaland.

Ritual killing is the art of killing people, not necessarily for their heads of skulls. This barbarity is probably as old as humankind but has been perpetuated and growing massively in western Nigeria for obvious reasons. The old and the young there seem to mostly believe that the art of magic is a quick tool to wealth.

The Solution

1) A Head Count: This is a bit laborious but absolutely necessary to make sure that every head is accountable and proper inventory of the population (even babies) are made. This is the only way to be sure that more heads aren't getting mined as we speak.

2) 24 Hour Monitoring of All Alfa
These are the henchmen that actually order the hits, kidnaps, mining and beheading. Enough number of law enforcement personnel should be allocated to monitoring these alfas and their madrassa and masalcis to ensure that pre-emptive actions are taken to forestall more murders and grave robbing. This may discourage the footmen and headsmen from their activities.

3) A Regional Reorientation
This is where all the states in the region need to come together and launch a massive campaign in both English and Yoruba to teach the people that human life is more important than food, drinks and cars that they're wasting the lives for. Teach them that the living head they just mined could become a helper to them tomorrow.

4) Temporary Ban On Elections And Installation of New Obas
Very important. All political posts and installations should be suspended, since there is also a correlation between their culture and mining of skulls. These people believe that you have to sacrifice many heads to the devil before he gives you power. No wonder the craze for head hunting has increased prior 2023. At this rate, by 2023, the population of our western brothers would reduce drastically.

Say no to skull mining

While your topic is not bad, I think you should address this to the whole country and not to the south west alone. There is a serious need for youths reorientation.

What I find amusing in your writing up there is an attempt to draw hate to a section of rhe country, while claiming to come from another section of the country, this you do to incite a fight online, and cause hatred among southern tribes. Desist from doing this.

The only solution is for Yoruba boys to learn handiwork, get back to school like Awolowo taught them and some of them should appreciate trade.
Their elders must approach this the same way Igbo elders approached Mkpulu mmiri. If they like, they can continue lying to themselves like everything is ok with them. Na dem sabi

What is the solution to Northern banditry?

Scull mining is a lucrative business to Yoruba just as bandits to north,
