Personally, I think Lagos, while still remaining in Oduduwa as a Yoruba state, should be protected from tribal jingoists so that the SW can continue to enjoy the ripple effects of being in close proximity to a thriving business city like Lagos. You only have to look at a city like London and South East England to see what the benefits of putting business and prosperity FIRST above any pettiness does to a whole region.

The real ethnic jingoists are those who mischievously call Lagos, a Yoruba heritage no mans land/Bini land. Those who seek to have equal right with Yorubas in Yorubaland. When they are not willing to accord Yorubas equal right in their own space. Those who know that despite being a member of the U.K and of same race, the Scots or Welsh don't have equal right as indigenous English in London and entire England. Yet they demand equal right only from diplomatic Yoruba, while they discriminate even amongst themselves, and will not dear the violent Hausa-Fulani for fear of massacre.

Enough of this fight bro. Oduduwa republic isnt an hatred for the peace loving igbos but for the freedom of yoruba. Ignore the guy you quoted he may not even be an igbo

Answer this question with honesty:
Mr. A has an urge to take your most strategic land, to the extent that he says it to your face that the said piece of land is no man's land. His covetous urges later influenced him to destroy a system which previously ensure that you retain absolute control of the said piece land. Although, a third party Mr. B snatched the bounty from Mr. A, Mr. A effort nonetheless was enough to ensure one of his objectives; un-regulated mass migration to your priced jewel and even beyond, under the guise of "One Nigeria".
So, my main question to you goes thus; if you succeed if chasing Mr. B off your land, is it wise or rational to allow Mr. B to remain? If so, give your reason (s).

In other words, you know you have a country, Nigeria, which is a plantation of the English.
You are ready to remain in slavery you have been in since 1914. Awuuuu.

We also know and have not forgotten the case of those who made our situation worse because of greed and their covetous urges, which made them to suspend the beautiful regional system that gives some level of autonomy to ethnic nationalities. As well as those who currently perpetuate the unitary system that was imposed by the former. As I said earlier, individuals might decide to forgive and forget but nations don't. The parameters that hinder us from engaging the English right now will not last forever. When the tide turns in our favor, no god/God can stop us from avenging our nation against all her foes in a disppropotional manner.

onuman:


You live in fantasy World.

You lie to the birds of the air, not to persons who are in Nigeria and know the revenue generation sources of Nigeria.

You would have since declared Oduduwa Republic if the economic permutations you made above are anything close to reality.

1. Yorubas know the people who are in the occupation of spreading propaganda to distract people from realizing that Yorubaland is the actual goose that lays the golden egg for Nigeria, in terms of revenue. Just remember that no condition is permanent. A day of reckoning will surely come for said people because individuals might forgive and forget but nations don't.
2. The economic permutations are excactly as stated in my earlier post. Now, as to why we are yet to formally declare Oduduwa Republic, this is the answer which you might already be aware of but chose to pretend; The real people who holds Yoruba down are the English in the U.K. Fulani are merely a proxy of the English in their continous drive to steal the wealth of Yorubaland. Yoruba are pragmatic, we are aware that any war declared against Nigeria or Fulani is actually a declaration of war against England. We are not ready to go to war with the English now because we are humble enough to accept that the potential outcome won't favor us based on current parameters. But remember no condition is permanent.

jneutron4000:
We Full blooded Yoruba need to start creating awareness if fact we should never allow half Yoruba or a Yoruba married to non Yoruba to hold any political post in Yorubaland anymore, they always have divided loyalty and they will always sabotage every effort to make Yoruba land great. Family background should start being a major factor in Election across Yoruba land

Seconded.

jneutron4000:
keep quiet, FFK is more Fulani than a Yoruba, his great grandfather was a Fulani man.

This is the real issue here. FFK is not really a Yoruba citizen but due to the liberal mindset of most Yoruba we are less concerned if a half-breeds like FFK (half-Fulani), Obasanjo (half-Ibo), Seyi Inarobo makinde (half-Ijaw) holds political office in Yoruba, or parades themselves as Yoruba leaders. We Yorubas pretend not to be aware that half-breeds naturally have divided loyalty, we do not hesitate to entrust them with political powers, yet we wonder why they support foreigners against us.

There is no such train service in the se and ss where they got the oil money to build the rail lines.

Enjoy. Child of happiness. Nigeria is a strange country that starves the hen that lays the golden eggs but feeds the barren hen.

You shall be the first to shout Biatraaud.

Natural Propangadists should be used to replace the collective name of the people from the region in bold.
Now these are the fiscal reality in the country called Nigeria:
2. Out of all the regions in Nigeria Yorubaland generates highest revenue for the FG. The revenues from Yorubaland which has been appropriated by the FG include; seaport revenues, airport revenue, customs, stamp duty, vat, education tax, company income tax, ict tax, etc.
3. Additionally, Yorubaland gives FG its second highest source of foreign exchange, that is cocoa. This used to be the highest foreign exchange earner before the 70s, when oil exploitation started.
3. The Niger Delta region currently generates the highest foreign exchange for the FG but not the highest revenue.
Mind you Ondo state, Yorubaland is part of ND. Lagos also produces oil.
4. For clarity sake, yes Niger Delta generates highest foreign exchange which is a form of revenue, however Yorubaland generates more revenue for the FG in form taxes.
In conclusion, the most productive region in Nigeria in terms of revenue accrued to FG is Yorubaland, followed by ND. All other regions are net liabilities. Hence, the sequence for establishing such infrastructure should rightly be;
1. Yorubaland
2. ND
3. Other regions. Depending on their contributions to the national purse.

It's the effects of them being raised by foreign women, those hybrids become foolishly liberal with mad identity crisis....the disaster happens when people like this enter into mainstream politics as we currently have, intertribal marriages is a threat to yorubaland.

Exactly, and I have come to the conclusion that the use of force might be the only option to arrest the situation because majority of Yorubas just enjoy stupid libralism.

BSdetector:


Real omo omoales are those who leave their tribes and go out in search of foreign women who would stand while greeting their mother in law and look them in the eye while talking to them, omoales that take pride in calling themselves Yoruba demon going around impregnating eastern harlots.......ask your Igbo mother who your father really is.

Great response there. That guy is mostly likely a half-Yoruba. They are naturally prone to have divided loyalty. Funny thing is that they enjoy parading themselves as the true Yorubas even more than full blooded Yorubas.

TooMuchStuff:
Can someone please write it out and translate the stanzas for we "Yorubas" that are not Yoruba by blood?

In Oodua Republic people like you will be fished and deported to your land of origin due to you brazen show of hate towards full blooded Yoruba leaders like Awolowo, Abiola, Tinubu, Fashola, Osinbajo and so on, while you embrace the real Yoruba saboteurs like Obasanjo, Ayo Adebanjo, Yinka Odumakin, Fani Kayode and so on.

thebosstrevor1:


You mention 6 companies that employs only a selected few...the funniest thing is they can't employ all the yorubas because they will go broke just on paying salaries alone.

Igbo and Hausa on the other hand are independent, they create more jobs for themselves, many are not professionals but they control about 90% of the informal market.

The only prosperous Yoruba land is Lagos and that is because it is near the Atlantic ocean that attracts people from all over the country for trading.

Most yoruba people want to wear coat and sit in an office earning 50k per month while the igbo and hausa hustlers are providing everything you need, go to any town in Nigeria, you must see a suya or an indomie joint owned by an hausa man, a spare part shop or clothing shop owned by the igbos, i cant say that for the yorubas, they dont have any footprint anywhere in Nigeria.

See an igbo man or woman will pack to an area and use his or her house to sell provisions and make good cash while a yoruba person will be complaining about unemployment, the hausa man is not left behind, he will come to lagos, with food stuffs to sell to everyone.

yoruba women used to be the leaders in selling tomatoes and pepper in the market, now the hausa man have taken over, they dont even stay in the market but make lot of cash selling fresh tomatoes and fruits, now yoruba women are know for spoilt tomatoes.

Buying and selling is the bedrock of an economy, but sorry my friend, yoruba people are not participating at all in that area. nowonder, there is high unemployment rate among them.

1. Show the world statistics from reputable sources which support your claim that unemployment/ poverty is higher in Yorubaland compared to other regions in Nigeria. In the absence of such then the Yoruba way remains the right way.
2. @ the bolded you are absolutely wrong, services and manufacturing are the bedrock of an economy, think the U.S.A or U.K for the former and China for the latter.
3. The service based economy of Yorubaland for example creates wealth for some, disposable income for others. The wealth and disposable income of Yorubas is what attracts people from poor regions like yours to come and do petty trading in our space.
4. I am not surprised that substantial number of Yorubas don't do petty trading to utilise the opportunities which the wealth of their brethren begat because I know that from time immemorial, Yoruba men in particular have always preferred skilled occupation to sitting in a market.
4. It will be amusing to see how your sovereign nation can survive with petty trading after Nigeria splits.
5. On our part I can assure you that when we achieve our own sovereign nation we would rather have a few Walmarts instead of proliferation of unskilled petty traders.

gomojam:
Omoluabi, more wealth to you.

Asee. And more to you too sir.

thebosstrevor1:
Yoruba people have more to lose if Nigeria breaks up.

Igbo people are entrepreneurs in nature, they move from one place to another, they have high energy and many of them are hustlers.

Yorubas on the other hand look for safe heavens, many of them prefer office jobs, no wonder there is high rate of unemployment among them. They dont farm nor do anything.

Hausas are like the igbos...almost all hausas are enterprising, even a gate man has a small kiosk selling sweets, they produce bulk of the food in Nigeria.

1. Paystack, Chicken Republic, Flutterwave, Nord, Main Street Technologies, Coleman Wires & Cables are all few of the numerous enterprises created by Yorubas.
2. If the above does not qualify as enterprises to you feel free to tell the world your own definition of enterprise.
3. When Yorubas are not creating the types of world class enterprises mentioned in (1), They are working as professionals or artisans in or for one of such enterprises. You see, the Yoruba workforce is dynamic and versatile. That is why smart investors will always chose Yorubaland ahead of other regions because they can count on geting the required human capital to make their business succeed. Unlike certain ethnic groups that are like 80% traders or 80% menial workers.

ONDO ADOPTS INDIGENOUS OODUA ANTHEM

The Ondo State Executive Council on Thursday approved the adoption of an Indigenous Anthem which projects the tradition and culture of the Yoruba tribe.

The state Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu ,SAN, who made the announcement at the commencement of the state executive council meeting said the anthem will henceforth be sung immediately after the National Anthem at official and public functions.

The Yoruba Anthem was rendered by the cultural troope of the state ministry of Culture and Tourism and sang by all members of the state executive council.

The lyrics of the Oodua Anthem goes thus;

Ise wa fun ile wa
Fun Ile Ibi Wa
Ka gbee ga
Ka gbee ga
Ka gbee ga fun aye ri
Igbagbo wa ni pe Bati beru la bomo Ka sise
Ka sise
Ka sise ka jo la
Isokan ati ominira
Ni ke je ka maa lepa
Tesiwaju f opo ire Ati ohun to dara
Omo Oodua dide Bo si ipo eto re
Iwo ni imole Gbogbo Adulawo

Yoruba is an ethnic group or nation. Please be kind to rectify the bolded sir. Thanks in anticipation.

Shut up you ignorant IBO bigot.
1. The economy of Yorubaland is largely dependent on services and significant manufacturing. Indegenous Yoruba professionals and artisans dominate the service sector while Asians contribute most to the manufacturing sector.
2. The IBOs in Yorubaland are mostly visible in certain aspects of the retail sector.
3. Yorubaland economy is powered by the services and manufacturing sectors as mentioned earlier, not by the retail sector. Hence retailing of foreign goods by IBOs is not indispensable.
4. What exactly are the Hausa-Fulani endowed with?
5. Yorubas are the most productive people in Nigeria by virtue of our large pool of human capital (Professionals and Artisans). IBOs are mostly unskilled retailers, while Hausa-Fulani are mostly menial workers.
6. Any ethnic group that disagrees with the above point should prove their position by fucking off Yorubaland.

Great contributions from everyone. I am 100% confident that I and the tech start up I'm aspiring to create will be added to this hall of fame in the nearest future. Meanwhile, to the OP if you could please change the word tribe to ethnic group/Nation. Yoruba is an ethnic group made up of several tribes like Ekiti, Egba, Awori, Ijebu, Oyo, etc. We are an indegenous nation just like the Scots, French, English, Irish etc. Thanks

Okay Sir

Stay blessed Sir

You stay vigilant sir.

Has Lagos ever been under attack by anyone?


Is IPOB operational I'm any SW communities. I'm permitted to speak thankfully I'm not an igbo. Please speak up and answer before you continue to Stoke flames of war


Would it be too much to demand justice for the lives of those the armies killed knowing fully well the protest and the spirit behind the protest was never against the yoruba people?


I don't see myself entering into a form of friendships with a Yoruba ever again in this lifetime. I rather deal with the igbos whatever their flaws maybe, atleast those stand for something however the measures they seek in pursuing their cause.


Good day

Bleep you, and your friendship.
Note: Every "Yoruba hating" ethnic group will be forced out of Yorubaland in due course. This is a goal which I as a full blooded Yoruba citizen have set to achieve within this decade. It is absolutely unacceptable for you to be beneffiting from the prosperity which we create on our land, while you claim to be the ones responsible, some claiming that our land is no mans land, others claiming that their fucking god gave our land to them as inheritance. To all Yoruba hating ethnic groups. You have only two options:
1. Bleep off Yorubaland in peace.
2. Be prepared for the game of "first to annihilate each other between yourself and Yorubas.

OneTemplate:


Guy, don't let them play you like a yoyo. #EndSARS all over again. The same desperate attempt by hardened haters of Nigeria and irredeemable seccesionists called Igbos to instigate others into conflict they hope will lead to anarchy that will crash the "Zoo".

If OP is Yoruba then I am a Martian and green in colour. You can always tell who they are with how they slyly insult the Yoruba ethnic group they pretend to come from while heaping praises on the discredited coward called Kanu, the illegal ESN militia and everything Igbo.

Igbos go looking for trouble only to cry when shite hits the fan. I wonder who they think will be the biggest victims of an internecine or ethnic strife, in Nigeria, such as was seen in Rwanda.

Ask yourself which sane Yorubas would praise the illegal ESN militia ,that can never be allowed to stand and will be inevitably put down in the end, while mocking Amotekun. IPOBian rudimentary antics bro.

I am actually aware that the OP is a member of that criminal minded ethnic group. My reply to him was actually to destroy his southern unity propaganda before it infects some gullible and so called liberal Yorubas.

omoharry:
You are as stupid as your fulani friend . If you happen to be a Yorubas (which I doubt ) what region do you belong ? North or South ? The op is from the South west .So that makes him a southerner but you on the other hand, insulting him becos he calls himself a southerner is more stupid than a low grade person . Pls Bleep of this thread Abeg .

Bleep you, Bleep Fulani and Bleep your Southern Nigeria numeclature being promoted by criminal minded ethnic groups(s). As a Yoruba man I do not desire equal right as Igbos in Igboland or Ijaws in Ijawland. Similarly I will never support any arrangement that saction non-Yorubas to have equal right as Yorubas in Yorubaland, like Nigeria is doing right now. I am against not just Nigeria but any mini Nigeria inform of Southern rubbish. I am Adekunle, a Yoruba citizen.

I agree with you 100% that some Yoruba leaders are quite useless but I must add that you are more useless for calling yourself SouthernNigerian if truly you are of Pure Yoruba blood. Gedebe ni Yoruba da du ro. We are no m.fu**cking southerner.

Aconomist:
Yoruba should know better than to bite the hand that feeds them. Tinubu's campaign is dead in the water. The Nigerian deep state has already selected Atiku to safeguard the interest of the ruling elite. Yoruba must learn their place instead of promoting genocidal actions against Nigeria's chosen tribe.

There is no Nigerian deep state apart from some English thugs who support minority Fulani against majority Yoruba. Fulani as a people without support from English thugs are ant compared to elephant Yoruba. If the English support Fulani in 2023 their interests in Yorubaland will be attacked. There won't be a governable Nigeria again post 2023 if English thugs who enjoy majority status in U.K keep supporting minority Fulani against majority Yoruba in Nigeria.

Thank goodness for that. That will reduce the number of potential destructive half-breeds in Yorubaland. If you are Pure Yoruba and you really care about the future of our nation and civilization, please dont marry an Igbo or Fulani. These two nations have deep seated hatred for our people, our culture, civilization, leaders, our women. They are both obsessed about; appropriating our land, controling our political economy and subjagation of our people. Having an offspring with them would turn out to be a naive action which would enhance and advance their evil plan against us.

Iamgrey5:
ordinary Slow(a popular OPC operative in Ido LGA in Ibadan) in Ido Will kill Wakali in Ibarapa and have his head for breakfast not to talk of Igboho.

It's Makinde the snake that's shielding Wakali.

His men were already arrested in Ido by Oyo state Amotekun while coming from Kebbi but were somehow released to go to Ibarapa.

Makinde boys went to burn down the property of Igboho because he was fighting for his own people. He lost 50 million naira without any compensation.

Makinde also tried to arrest Igboho.

Wakali's head Will have been used to drink wine by now if not for Makinde.

What do you expect from a half-Yoruba. Half-breeds naturally have identity crisis and divided loyalty. Like Obasanjo like Makinde.

Olisehinnocent:
We the fulanis rule Nigeria. Yorubaland belong to us. We must fight until our seriki is reinstated and place above any other person in our Yoruba /fulani land.

I know you're one of those children of hate with inferiority complex, so the need to disguise as your Fulani master. But know this, It is the plan of Yoruba youths to exterminate both you and your master and there will be no one to save you. Not the English, Americans or your foreign gods.

Sammy07:


Well brother, its actually a piece of trash to me.
You know why?

1. First thing I did was to check his background and I saw that he is a full blooded Yoruba man.

2. Yoruba destiny isn't in any control of anyone talk less of a party

3. Fayose also enjoy the sane privilege as the leader of South west PDP when he was the only PDP governor in SW

Alright sir.

Sammy07:
But what is wrong with Fayose self

Makinde is the only PDP governor, he is automatically the leader of SW PDP. (The same thing happened to him when he (Fayose) was the only PDP governor in SW oo)

Nah woman dey deal with Fayose In ekiti, yet he's at loggerhead with makinde

Sir, I know my comment might sound radical to you and other people nonetheless I'll go ahead. The rancor between Fayose and Makinde is about the the control of Yoruba destiny in the PDP. As you might already know, Makinde is a half-Yoruba while Fayoose is a pure breed Yoruba. Half-breed people naturally have divided loyalty to their composite ethnicities. Look around all the regions of Nigeria, pure breeds control the political destiny of the people. Yorubaland should not be an exception. Fayose is fighting a just fight and I'm sure that many pure breed Yorubas in opposition parties are in support of him, at least those who understand the need for self-preservation.

helinues:
There are so many diplomatic ways of solving issues/misunderstanding... We are not in 15 BC where most disputes were settled with war.

We are in the 21st century FCS... And for those who have been inciting the ESN to continue, those that would be caught unaware are not animals, they might be friends, family or colleagues.. Just because you are save where you are doesn't warrant you to put others in danger.

ESN is unrecognized security outfit... That remains the fact

I am an advocate of peace ...

Btw, avoiding unnecessary war is not a sign of cowardness.

Bikonu, allow peace to reign

The is really unnecessary. I am always pained whenever I see Yorubas meddling in the affair of Igbos like you are trying to do. This is exactly why those people won't stop their obsession for anything Yoruba. Write ups or comment like this will keep encouraging them to also want to meddle in Yoruba affairs. Please, Pure Omoluabis lets discontinue such for the good our descendants.

anungangampu:

A tout says that.. And u think a tout thinks completely

Actually not just a tout but an Igbo disguised as Yoruba. I have come across lots of them.
These are some ways to identify them:
1. They are always in support of Igbos.
2. The hate full-blooded Yoruba leaders like Awolowo, Abiola, Akintola, Tinubu, etc.
3. They are almost always supporters of PDP.
4. They revere Nnamdi Kanu.
5. They like those Yorubas who are only concerned about Fulani threat, but the moment you go against Igbo criminality, and their open desire to overrun Yorubaland with mass migration. These type will turn against you.
6. Get closer to them and you'd find that they support all thoae propaganda that Igbo are known to spread against Yorubas, our culture, women, politicians, etc.

seunmsg:
Makinde is a disgrace to the entire Yoruba race. FFK and the other south west irritants won’t say anything about Makinde’s show of shame. The real betrayals among us are gradually showing their hands.

The truth is that many of us Yorubas are gullible whilst we see ourselves as liberals. Yesterday, I asked a 16 years old Yoruba kid who is in ss3 to tell me what he knows about Awolowo. And he replied that he doesn't know who Awolowo was. It was a very sad thing to here. Imagine one of his Igbo friends whose parents and family members have repeatedly told their own version of the civil war to, walks up to him and tells him that Awolowo killed "3million Igbo children because he was jealous of Igbo success" as they've touted. The Yoruba kid is very likely to buy into that propaganda, which will have the effect of eroding his willingness to defend any Yoruba political leader and even, the Yoruba identity/heritage. Thus, we have an army of generations of Yorubas who are only Yoruba in culture but who would not be willing to defend Yoruba nation because they don't even know what she represents.

I wish to link the points from the above statements to the matter of people like Makinde and FFK. How many Yorubas knew that Makinde is half-Yoruba half Edo married to Ijaw, or that FFK's maternal grandfather was a Fulani, or that TUNDE Bakare's father was a Fulani. Anywhere in the world it is common knowledge that this category of people naturally suffer from DIVIDED LOYALTY syndrome. Yet in Yorubaland such people had and still occupy our top political offices because majority of our voters are ignorant of the history of such people. In conclusion, let us take seriously the out of school teaching of history to our folks, both young and old.

Herdsmen:
From this thread.... is obvious that Yoruba people are so insecure

Opinion from Yoruba elder ... see as insecurity.. fear, jealousy and overbloAted ego..of Yoruba humans

Truly

Yoruba no get Level..

No igbo man will ever reason what this Yoruba elder is saying

You don’t trust Dan Bayerebe ... not for anything on earth
So why uniting with tribe that people don’t trust.. a very tribal tribe..that hate themselves.. even with their tribalism..

Yoruba always wanting and wishing United south..
But the south are wiser than the west..

With all Yoruba chewing gumming Niger deltA.. they still avoid Yoruba ..
No southern want to associate with them.. talk more of igbos

Keep wallowing in your delusion. The facts which you might already be aware of but pretend otherwise is as follow:
1. People like Banjo Akintoye, Gani Adams, Yinka Odumakin, Obasanjo, Bode George, Seyi Makinde, FFK etc, whom IBOs always goes about having their ridiculous "handshake across the Nigeria" with, fall into one or more of the following category:
a) Half Yoruba,
b) Yoruba married to non-Yoruba and
c) Non-Yoruba disguising as Yoruba.

People in the above mentioned categories have divided loyalty for Yoruba interest, that is why IBOs befriend them. They are mainly in the opposition PDP, they do not have access to the government treasury, hence they are on the payroll of IBOs who wishes to use them to play divide and conquer against Pure Yorubas.

2. IBOs know that the "Pure Yorubas" of today are led by Tinubu. They will never try to or accept to form an alliance with the Pure Yorubas because their interest is not to achieve a prosperous Yorubaland and Igboland respectively. Rather it is to subjagate Yorubas in their own land. A motivation borne out of obssessive urge to covet what belong to others.
