1)The proto-industrial base
Japan’s agricultural productivity was high enough to sustain substantial craft (proto-industrial) production in both rural and urban areas of the country prior to industrialization.Yorubas should boost their agricultural productivity

2)Investment-led growth
Domestic investment in industry and infrastructure was the driving force behind growth in Japanese output. Both private and public sectors invested in infrastructure, national and local governments serving as coordinating agents for infrastructure build-up.

Investment in manufacturing capacity was largely left to the private sector.
Rising domestic savings made increasing capital accumulation possible.
Japanese growth was investment-led, not export-led.

3)Total factor productivity growth — achieving more output per unit of input — was rapid.

On the supply side, total factor productivity growth was extremely important. Scale economies — the reduction in per unit costs due to increased levels of output — contributed to total factor productivity growth. Scale economies existed due to geographic concentration, to growth of the national economy, and to growth in the output of individual companies. In addition, companies moved down the “learning curve,” reducing unit costs as their cumulative output rose and demand for their product soared.

The social capacity for importing and adapting foreign technology improved and this contributed to total factor productivity growth:

- At the household level, investing in education of children improved social capability.Though Awolowo did this ,he provided free education during the Regional system of government before it was truncated.Yorubas can revive this again ,if we are serious about nation building.
- At the firm level, creating internalized labor markets that bound firms to workers and workers to firms, thereby giving workers a strong incentive to flexibly adapt to new technology, improved social capability.
- At the government level, industrial policy that reduced the cost to private firms of securing foreign technology enhanced social capacity.
Shifting out of low-productivity agriculture into high productivity manufacturing, mining, and construction contributed to total factor productivity .

In regard to the future of the Yoruba Nation, What I am about to put down ,might look very impossible for us now, but with time ,efforts,hardwork and determination, we would surely get there.God has given the Yorubas every thing we need including natural and human resources to develop our space ,it is now left to us to harness it for the development of our nation,I believe that Yoruba Nation would be the pride of the black race.
Let's get started,
Japan achieved sustained growth in per capita income between the 1880s and 1970 through industrialization. Moving along an income growth trajectory through expansion of manufacturing is hardly unique. Indeed Western Europe, Canada, Australia and the United States all attained high levels of income per capita by shifting from agrarian-based production to manufacturing and technologically sophisticated service sector activity.

Still, there are three distinctive features of Japan’s development through industrialization that merit discussion:

What a shame to the Yoruba nation at large
The office of the Ooni of Ife was the highest position In Western Nigeria or Yorubaland as the Governor of Western Nigeria under the Regional system of government, he literally controls the whole of Western Nigeria from the Coast of badagry in Lagos down to warri ,to the hinterland in Ibadan, Akure down to benin to the creeks in ilaje ,Ugborodo(Escravos) and Gbaramatu.But because of the dominating traits in igbos,through Aguyi ironsi and Prof ben nwabueze ,abolished the Regional system of government, which was now facilitated and capitalised on by the Fulani.That is why one foolish igbo man can call Ooni a fine bobo and mock him, because he has been reduced to a mere office holder placed under the local government chairman.
The earlier Yorubas understand the root of their problem, the better .Because I don't why our ancestors allowed fulani and igbos to control our wealth and resources through unitary system .We Yorubas are coward, Yes we are Cowards for not fighting against subjugation and siege from the igbos and fulanis ,someone would say we are peaceful we don't like violence ,that is nonsense we are Cowards who do not want to use our blood,tears,and sweat to achieve freedom,and I don't think such a people can have a say in anything,whatsoever. Yorubas need to capture the power of the presidency, which would automatically allow us to control the military, and correct this anomaly,and bring all other yoruba lands into the greater Yoruba kingdom,(like the 12 Yoruba speaking local governments in kwara state, 6 Yoruba speaking local government in kogi state ,3 Yoruba speaking local government in delta state and 1 yoruba speaking local government in Edo state), in addition to the 6 southwestern states),and also return the country back to regional system of government.
God bless Yoruba kingdom

SlyDev:
Igbo should be adeyinka grandson supporters, he wanted the same thing as you guys, restructure Nigeria or break Nigeria. Don't all Igbo want to leave Nigeria and go to Biafra?

Just as Igbo are pissed off by fulani taking over their forest, adeyinkais pissed too

Igbo don't want fulani and Yoruba lording it over them in their own ancestral land
Adeyinka hate Igbo and Fulani lording over yoruba in their ancestral land

We need more of Adeyinka Grandson

Bro,The Yoruba conservatism is growing ,by the time we are done with fulanis and igbos in Yorubaland they would regret ever stepping their foot into yorubaland.The earlier Yorubas come to their senses that English, Fulani and,Igbo are our problem ,the better for us .
God bless Yoruba Conservatives
God bless Adeyinka Shoyemi
God bless Yoruba Kingdom

Let me address them by also delving into some historical perspectives too.

1. Kwara is complicated. Only Ilorin made a submission at various Punlic Hearings that they want to stay in the North. By saying that, they think they are speaking for the Ilorin Emirate as a whole but 90% of Asa and Moro want to go to the SW. Remember that Ilorin's origin is Yoruba.

When the Fulani came they intermarried extensively to create an elite class that call the shots and identify with the North to maintain their privilege. The Oba of Ilorin before Sulu Gambari the 1st had the title, Oba Aiyelabowo the 2nd. Other people called him Emir but realising his strong Yoruba roots he called himself Oba Aiyelabowo II. In the 80s and 90s onwards the elite of Ilorin began to identify with the North more and more. Most of even these elites bear Yoruba names and can't speak any Hausa at all. The current Emir of Ilorin ascended the throne as KOLAPO Sulu Gambari. In order not to be called a Yoruba man by his fellow Northern Emirs, he later dropped the KOLAPO. The present Chief of Staff to the President is Ibrahim AGBOOLA Gambari - he can't speak Hausa. You heard of LANRE Kawu, OLANREWAJU Suleiman etc etc.

Virtually all of them have a Yoruba name because Ilorin is Yoruba. Is there any other language in the whole of Ilorin Emirate except Yoruba? No major one. The Father of the present Governor of Kwara State was from Ilesa. He was the first Northern Nigerian lawyer. I knew him VERY well. I remember in the 80s that some Ilorin elites opposed his ambition to be governor because "He was a non indigene". There are even some of these elite who have both first, middle and surname Yoruba names. The rest of Ilorin Emirate population is still 90% indigenous Yorubas.

2. The whole of Kwara South- IGBOMINA (Ifelodun and Irepodun), EKITI and OYUN (Ibolo Offa, Erin, .Ojoku, Ipee) have firmly declared to go to the S.W. Both Eruku and Koro are in Ifelodun LGA)

3. Lokoja was part of old Oyo Empire and is originally an Oworo settlement. The current Maigeri is a Kano man. That is the manipulation of the Caliphate of Northern Nigera. The Olu of Oworo lives on Oworoland (Lokoja). There is currently a court case between the Maigeri and the Oworo People to establish the fact of ownership. Unfortunately or fortunately the two lawyers representing both sides are OKUN (Bayo Ojo SAN, for the Maigeri and John Baiyesea SAN for our Oworo Okun People). It is hoped that the case will be settled in favour of the owners of the land. Suffice to say that apart from Igala and Ebira who are in Lokoja mainly as workers and will go back to their own native homes, Lokoja is 70% Okun/Oworo and other Yorubas.

4. Now for Nupe populations of Abugi (originally Abuji), Buddon, Patigi (originally Patiji) and others South of the Niger River. Except Pategi which originally is a mix of Yoruba and Nupe as a trading post between the Oyo Empire and the Nupe, but became more predominantly Nupe after the collapse of the Oyo Empire and the Nupe invasion) all the other settlements post dated the Nupe invasion.

5. Now what will happen with these Nupe settlements, Ilorin and the Yagba settlements in Kwara?. We Okun are demanding for the implementation of the Report of the Willink's Commission, i.e that all Minorities who find themselves cut off from their majority tribes should be given the right, through a referendum, either to remain as a minority in the place where they find themselves or to be merged with their majority nations.

We in Okun say we are Yoruba and the land on which we dwell is Yorubaland. We are therefore not Northerners. We want to rejoin the SW Yoruba. (Yesterday, I still saw a Yoruba document which lists all the States in the SW as Ekiti, Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Okun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo).

After the referendums, there will be boundary adjustments to reflect the reality on ground. What applies to us will apply to others too. I expect that Pategi, Abugi, Buddon etc which are predominantly Nupe will vote to join Niger State (while some other minorities in Niger State will leave too)..

I expect the Gbagyi to demand for an autonomous State of their own while the Nupe have their own. Borgu will likely leave too. The Yagba in Kwara by that same referendum process will decide whether they want to remain there or join Okun. I have no idea about the current feelings in Eruku and Koro but I am sure Agboro and co will join the rest of Yagba

The indigenous population of Ilorin Emirate will outvote the Fulani elite if a fair and free referendum is allowed in which case Ilorin's preference for the North will not hold.

There remain two other areas of Kwara. The Lafiagi Nupe will likely vote to merge with a Nupe State or feel that they are getting benefits in Kwara which they cannot get in Nupe State.

Finally there is the Baruba who border with Niger Republic. They border Oyo State to the South and Benin Republic (Parakou Borgu) to the West. Those in Kaima LGA and include settlements like Okuta, Yashikira, Ilesa Baruba, Babana etc are Baruba People. The people of Kaima itself and surrounding settlements are Kemberi. I was in Ilesa Baruba some time in 2019. It's like any other Yoruba town. In fact the tarred road from Saki stops less than 1km from Ilesa Baruba. Some 11km away is Igboho. The Baruba People have never been part of the Sokoto Caliphate.

What is interesting to note is that the Baruba army fought on the side of the Yoruba against the Jihad Army and helped to defeat it. Another interesting thing is that a lot of Ogbomoso people are Baruba. In fact the Oriki and praise songs of the Soun of Ogbomoso make mention of ancestry of the Ogbomoso Ruling House to be Baruba. Baruba area is the most neglected part of Kwara State. Most of the bit of civilisation and facilities they get come from Oke Ogun of Oyo State.

My permutation is that the Baruba of Kwara State may vote to join Oke Ogun of Oyo State with who they have far more afinity than the rest of Kwara.

Geography also dictates that the Baruba are really cut off from the rest of Kwara so development has not reached them . The prospects from Oyo State is better.. If this works it will be to the great advantage of the Baruba who will promptly leave Kwara.

Sorry this is long but I have gone into some details to enlighten our young people. The powers that be in the North abolished the teaching of History in schools so that details of the minority Status of the Fulani will be kept hidden.

Ignorance of facts on the ground will also prevent agitations for freedom. The new masters will not want people to know that they are IMPOSTORS. That is why I tell histories on this platform whenever there is an opportunity.
