A socio cultural group, Yorubas in Kwara State (YKS), under the aegis of Apapo Yoruba Kwara, has canvassed for the return of the Yorubas people in the state to South-west geopolitical zone of the country.
The group said that such move would go a long way to abide with the negotiated and agreed to by their founding fathers in the 2014 National Conference.
Speaking at a press conference in Ilorin yesterday, the Spokesman of the YKS, group, Mr. Samuel Adewoye, said that the immediate implementation of recommendations of the 2014 National Conference is sacrosanct, “as the 1999 Constitution (as amended) does not adequately guarantee and take care of the interest of all the ethnic nationalities.”
Adewoye, whose speech was read by Mr. Jayeola Omotoso, said that
“there is no doubt that Nigeria is
on the brink and in order to save it from total collapse, it is hereby strongly recommended that the federal government should urgently implement the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference by returning Nigeria to true federalism as negotiated and agreed to by our ounding fathers.
“The recommendations also included boundary adjustment, which would return Kwara State to the South-west geo-political zone.
“In respect of Kwara State Government, we emphasise the imperative of “restoring the dignity,
honour and paraphernalia of Yoruba traditional institutions in the so-called Ilorin Emirate i.e. Asa,
Moro, Ilorin West, Ilorin East and Ilorin South by grading and upgrading them like their counterparts in the other local governments of the state.
“Implementing without further delay the two subsisting court judgments already won by the good
people of Moro, which were excluded them from the Ilorin Emirate.
“Putting machinery in motion for the immediate creation of local council development areas with particular reference to Ifelodun, Asa and Moro Local Government Areas, which constitute some of the
largest local councils in the federation etc.”
The socio-cultural organisation also lamented the plethora of challenges of insecurity in the country via the activities of Boko Haram, bandits, terrorists, and herdsmen, saying that the situation had all combined to threaten the federal government out of its wits.
“The rapidity and frequency of these odious crimes have turned the country into an unsafe haven. The high sense of insecurity across the federation combined with the unwillingness of the power-that-
be to restructure the country provide a fertile ground for the agitation for self-determination in the form of Yoruba Nation, Biafra Republic, Middle Belt Republic, South-South Republic etc.”

If not because of the British motive of" divide and rule 'of a thing..

the political arrangement did against the yoruba of llorin by the British was not necessary at all...


They could for instance have carved out the Yoruba of llorin from the north since that area was geographically and ethnologically distinct from the hausa area up north...



Does Abdul05 look like a hausa man or talk like a Fulani man ..? ... If no why join me with them...

And some parts of kogi too

Yoruba know themselves and their lands. It is just unfortunate that some Yoruba people have their own part of Yorubaland lumped with a zone outside their core ancestral SW zones. They should keep up with tje advocacy just like the Yoruba in Kogi too have been clamouring that their land on the Nigerian map to be drawn into SW not outside SW.
They will get their wish someday. It is just recently Lagos State got added to the Oodua Conglomerate since 1970s the group was founded so their own expectation will be met someday too if they do not give up. The Yoruba in Edo, Delta state and Benin Republic too will join SW someday

So far Nigeria exists, all these kind of issue will still remain unless a bold government try to redraw these things.

However, a Yoruba from Kwara/Kogi is just as Yoruba as one from Ibadan.

Whether they are geopolitically placed in North or not, it still does not stop that simple fact.

Na them dey rush us on like some akpu munching gorillas that will attach themselves n still get rejected n called slaves by people they are trying to attach themselves to

Laaaiiye laye. Not under my watch.
Kwara belong to the north. It is NORTH CENTRAL, not west central.
Make anybody no follow me talk rush. North start from KABBA in kogi, ILORIN, OFFA, and ERIN ILE to argungu in kebbi

You guys should wait until after thieftinubu defeat in 2023.

Carve them in nah make we see.

The moment they accept being northerners and getting use to allahu ku ba....the better for them.

Yolloba land remains only in southwest.

Ile labosinmi oko nah only omoluabi go understand that.


God bless Amoda Ogunlere yekini

Olukumi are migrants. They can go back to SW if they want but the land doesn't belong to them.

Itshekiris are not Yorubas

not like igbos that people reject like corona virus

We shall have it implemented once Emilokan 2 emerge as the next president of Nigeria


Yoruba lokan.

...

They are wasting their time..

Kwara belongs to the fulanis..

Fulanis conquered kwara many decades ago so by means of conquering kwara is Fulanis land..

Land grabbers..

Olukumi in Delta are migrants and they don't hide it. Itshekiris are not Yorubas

Remove Lagos and the Ijaw part of Ondo.

Dead on arrival...
What will Yorubas use to appease their masters up north to relinquish their hold on Ilorin?
When Afonja was betraying everybody around him and selling his people to Fulanis ( the same thing Tinubu is doing now ), maybe he thought he was been sophisticated.

Imagine Yoruba of Ibadan have more in common with those in Kwara and Togo than those from Zamfara or Daura….

Our brothers outside the EAST are oil and gas giants unlike your hunger stricken Northern yorubas.
