The Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, has frowned on the comment made by the Chairman of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Council of Elders, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, “ridiculing the Yoruba race”.

The group said it had received several complaints from sons and daughters of the ethnic group over Iwuanyanwu’s comment.

The National Organising Secretary of the group, Abagun Omololu, disclosed this in a statement titled, “RE: THE DIVISIVE AWKA COMMENT BY CHIEF EMMANUEL IWUANYANWU,” on Sunday.

The group said Iwuanyanwu had made a comment ridiculing the Yoruba race in Awka, Anambra State, on Saturday.

The PUNCH reports that Iwuanyanwu had condemned individuals fuelling ethnic baiting in Lagos State.

Describing them as “political rascals”, Iwuanyanwu said there was no war between the Igbo and the Yoruba in the state.

“We are in Nigeria and we have invested in Nigeria. Our investments are so much. We are not going to take the pressure of people telling us to go. We are not going anywhere.

“I want to tell those in Lagos to realise that there is no war between us (Igbo) and Yoruba. They are just political rascals, and we’re going to handle them.”

Iwuanyanwu said the elders had directed the secretary general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to set up a commission of inquiry to find out things destroyed, saying “people are going to pay.”

Afenifere disclosed it would get in touch with the leadership of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to seek explanation on why Iwuanyanwu made the comment.

“We hereby call on Ohanaeze to warn the Chief not to insult the Yoruba. We are a proud nation. We are a hospitable race. All these should not be interpreted to mean weakness. In fact, it is a sign of being civilised. Enough of the provocation.”

However, Omololu urged the Yoruba to remain calm, peaceful and loving and to the Igbo and every Nigerian.

“We are one people under one nation and one God. The Yoruba have a long history of association and partnership with our Igbo brothers and sisters. Our diversity is one of Nigeria’s strengths in the comity of nations and we should not allow politics, religion , ethnicity or anything else to divide us.

“We urge all Yoruba to continue to relate well with all other ethnic groups in Nigeria and abroad.”

Omololu noted that humanity is more important than the divisive antics or careless remarks of any individual or group.

“The Yoruba are known worldwide as promoters of peace, unity and orderliness. We should hold on strongly to those virtues in the interest of peace, progress and prosperity in Nigeria and the world,” he added.

For anyone thinking what the pig 🐷 called Iwanyawu look like, this is his elephant body below.

Ohaneze should dare not even disgrace themselves by responding to those rascals, when they are done ranting and seeking for attention, they will get the message when you give them the silent treatment and crawl back whence they came from. When rascals are talking, just ignore them and treat their noise for what it is-NOISE!

Still looking for the wrong in what he said. Where did he insult Yorubas in his statement?
He said political rascals will be dealt with; are Yorubas political rascals?
Anyone that feel insulted is not clean...a clear conscience fears no accusations.

I don't believe this statement is from the authentic Afenifere

Even Afenifere had to talk.

“The Yoruba are known worldwide as promoters of peace, unity and orderliness. We should hold on strongly to those virtues in the interest of peace, progress and prosperity in Nigeria and the world,” he added.

Please if you or your decendants and your business will not be a problem and constitute nuisance to Southwest and Lagos, I urge you to bring your investments to Lagos and the Southwest of Nigeria.

Lagos and the Southwest region represent the most peaceful and investment-friendly part of Nigeria. Just be ready to do legitimate business and respect and appreciate your hospitable Yoruba hosts then the land will bless you, your family and your business. If you do not do legitimate business and you hate the Yoruba, you will sow in Yorubaland but will not reap for long You will return back to your village empty-handed.

It will be better you do not bother to come to Lagos and SW at all.Yorubaland will destroy anyone who hates the Yoruba yet do business on the land. Such haters always lose all. If you can not wean yourself of hate, stay back in your hate-filled region or state.


May God bless Nigeria.

Iwuanyawu has no clarification for afenifere, they should ask Pa Adebanjo for explanation because he was the one supporting ohanaeze during the presidential campaign, they are working in tandem

Some people's bicycle rider don already made reverse into fuel filling station...

You should know the rest

He needs to apologize and clarify.

We fly too close. Just restructure to a confederation

Afenifere should not fall for this trick from the senile old greedy corrupt drug pusher that is hellbent on dividing Nigeria along ethnic lines.

The heroin trafficker belongs to the prison and not the presidency.

He will use, at the national level, divide and rule tactics which he used in Lagos to scatter Nigeria.

A drug lord is not fit to be president of the most populous black nation in the world.

Hmmn. Yoruba people don suffer.
Kindness + Hospitality== Weakness/cowardice

I stand tall to give no damn about anyone leading

Let them call us whatever they want,we will never stop protecting our lands.
Where are the natives of US,CANADA AND AUSTRALIA today??

Election is over

Let the healing begin

Afenifere don see say these people are not to be trusted...

I trust Meyeti Allah over Ohaneze

Is it the same Afenifere that supported Peter obi during the presidential election you claim is ranting and seeking attention? Honestly you guys never cease to amaze me with your Nzogbu Nzogbu politics. I hope you won't cry foul if the yourba does not support any candidate from south east in the nearest future.

Why won't an Igbo man insult the Yoruba land when it's the same set of people calling themselves Afenifere are the one even supporting Obi because of their selfish interest by selling out yoruba's right to other tribe.. They gave them the boldness of spitting insult to the yoruba's because they gave them the chance.

The Political rascal and Political drug smugglers.
I am proud political rascal.

If you look at his preceding statements, he was obviously referring to the trouble makers that attacked the Igbos, & not the entire Yorubas.

If you take his statement literally, then you can also literally interpret 25% in 36states AND Abuja to mean mandatory 25% in Abuja.
