This is the handiwork of these useless Northerners that are power drunk.
Anything the North like let them do in the South, but one thing is certain, it is the turn of the South to produce the President of Nigeria.
The North are responsible for all the killings in the South, so that Atiku will become the president by proxy.
The North should go and prepare for war should Atiku becomes the president of nigeria against the wish of the South.
The North and the South will fight a civil war soonest.
Jagaban is coming.

I thought this man had sense before. It's now I confirm it that Akeredolu is a fool.

Can he compare the lives that have been lost just because Nigeria still remain one ?

In his state alone many lives have been lost to the hand of Fulani headsmen.

We must work to ensure that there is power shift. The opportunity for the presidency to come to the south, especially the South-West, is around the corner
@ the bolded, is it about power shifting to the south west? One of many reasons this country isn’t getting better

Agitations for Secession will never end until all Tribes/Regions are treated with Equity, Justice & Fairness.

A situation where one Region/Tribe has the Born-to-Rule mentality & feel they are the owners of Nigeria, threatens our Unity & peaceful coexistence.

Definitely if Tinubu loses the election, they would be the ones agitating for separation.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu - hope you can read this sir?

Unfortunately he might not. You don't put together people with no common identity or history or religion together and expect it to work.
It might work if the people embrace secularity and put it above their religion and ethnic differences.
But in Nigeria where some of its citizens are ardently religious and tribalistic, then it's not going to work. Same with iraq. when you put shia and Sunni muslims together with a long history of hatred between them, you will need an extremely wicked dictator to hold the nation. And that's what Saddam Hussein was. He held the country for years and when the west ousted and killed him and tried to impose democracy we can all see what has become of Iraq.
Let's check history and see that democracy can not work in Nigeria. There will always be corruption, tribalism with hatred, religious wars and communal clashes. Unless Nigeria rises above religion differences and ethnic differences , which I believe is nearly impossible, the best is separation.

[quote author=Racoon post=119388058][/quote]
The Governor of Ondo State, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, has condemned the continuous agitation for a Yoruba nation by some groups in the South-West. He said such agitation would not succeed as it would thwart the efforts of those who laid down their lives for the unity of the country.

Akeredolu, who is the chairman of the Southern Governors Forum, spoke at the launching of an emblem appeal to flag off the 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day held at the state Internal Revenue Service Hall in Akure, the state capital.

He said, “Those clamouring for Oodua Nation will not succeed. People have not laid down their lives for this country for unscrupulous individuals to scuttle it. This country is very important to some of us. We recognise the right of the people to protest or agitate, but if the police feel your actions are treasonable, they will arrest and prosecute you.

“It is not at this stage in the history of this country that we will repeat IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafra – a separatist group in the South-East) in Yorubaland. Opportunity beckons at us. We cannot afford to throw away that opportunity.

We must work to ensure that there is power shift. The opportunity for the presidency to come to the south, especially the South-West, is around the corner. We will not sit and support anyone clamouring for Oodua nation. We will not support it. We have fought for this with everything we had. Nigeria will be good.

“The security agencies will checkmate these unscrupulous enemies embarking on such frivolous activities. We have responsibilities now to soberly reflect on the plight of those who have laid down their lives and those who are still laying down their lives for the unity and peace of this country.”

According to the governor, the daring posture of enemies of the country, which has cost the nation the lives of many gallant soldiers, is highly condemnable. He stressed that the sustained efforts of the officers and men of the military had greatly checked the threat.

He added, “Without the sacrifice and commitment of these officers and men of the Armed Forces, it would have been a matter of time before the whole country was overrun.

The month-long Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration is therefore a golden opportunity for the government and the society at large to empathise and associate with widows and relations of our fallen heroes, especially those that were cut down in their prime.”

He said there was nothing too good or too much that could replace the precious lives lost or remedy the deprivations and untold hardship suffered by the dependants of such heroes.

While calling on local government councils to donate generously to the cause, he said the major reason for the Emblem Appeal Fund was to provide financial and material support to families of the fallen heroes as well as veterans who survived various military operations with some sustaining varying degrees of injuries that rendered them incapacitated.

Meanwhile, the Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide has said its immediate past leader, Prof Banji Akintoye, remains a lifetime mentor and patron of the organisation and its struggle for the emancipation of the Yoruba Nation.

The Punch reported that Akintoye officially relinquished the chairmanship position to Prof Wale Adeniran. Akintoye resigned as chairman on the basis of principle amidst lingering internal crisis within the organisation.

But in a statement on Friday, the General Secretary of the group, Tunde Amusat, said Akintoye didn’t withdraw from the movement.

The statement partly read, “We have noticed that some mischievous characters and enemies of Yoruba Nation are trying to twist the resignation of Prof Banji Akintoye from the management and leadership of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, the apex body for the Yoruba self-determination struggle to connote that our dear Baba (father) has left the Yoruba Nation struggle.

“We wish to state that the letter of resignation of Prof Banji Akintoye was very explicit and was without ambiguity. Baba never said he was withdrawing from the Yoruba Nation agitation nor resigning his membership of IOOW. He remains our lifetime mentor and one of our patrons.”

It noted that the group was formed by over 100 Yoruba Self-Determination Groups in 2019, first as Yoruba World Congress before it was rebranded as IOOW in 2020 in order to make the struggle indigenous and traditional.

REMEMBER :
This man, Gov. Akeredolu, conducted his daughter's wedding, not in Ondo State, not in any part of Nigeria that he so much love, but in MAURITANIA. Can anybody imagine that type of LOVE for Nigeria?
When you look at Nigeria from outside of Nigeria, you see the TYPE OF LOVE THE SO CALLED LEADERS OF NIGERIA HAVE FOR THEIR COUNTRY!

Those agitating for the actualisation of the Yoruba Nation are youths and elders with long range vision. They know that the Nigeria Project is dead, and have been destroyed by the greed and massive corruption of Akeredolu and his cohorts in government who possess, and have possessed the keys to the national treasury.

He grossly lied to assert that those agitating for Yoruba nation are enemies of Yoruba. I know many many educated and non educated Yorubas agitating for Oduduwa nation on the platform of the bleeding state of Nigeria. He should first search his conscience t on what has led to further open and increase agitation for Yoruba nation.

Everyday they give these our people new conditions to satisfy.

They have become orisha to them.

They must worship them and obey their commands everyday, or else...

As it is now, if they asked them to sign the entire regional land's C of O to them, they will quickly oblige.

Only God knows what they will demand of them in the remaining days to the election.

But all of those won't even prevent an Ahmed Lawan and others still in the background from pulling an Nyesom Wike on them.

They will possibly weaken all the powers of the office before they consider them.
