The non yorubas will definitely integrate into yoruba culture, this will make the yoruba nation more populous.
Go to Kano and see, majority of the hausa speaking muslims you see in Kano are not from Kano state, many of them are not even Hausas by tribe! Many of them are Nupes, Kanuris, Shuwa, Baburr, Fulanis, Gwaris, Ebira, Igala, Auchi and even yoruba muslims. Yes! There are yoruba muslims who have integrated into Hausa culture and identity in Kano state!
DUDE, IT IS GOING TO BE YOUR FUNERAL.
THE WHOLE THING IS SHORT SIGHTED AND FANTASY GONE WRONG.
IN THIS DAY AND AGE, WITH ALL THE INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY, U THINK THAT IS POSSIBLE?
I THINK THE ENTIRE NIGERIA WILL USE THIS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND START OCCUPYING VILLAGES IN SOUTHWEST AND CLAIMING INDIGENE.
LAND IS A PRECIOUS COMMODITY AND VERY LIMITED.
THE TINY YORUBA SOUTHWEST AREA WILL BE QUICKLY OVER POPULATED, WITH NO ROOM FOR EXPANSION.
POPULATION GROWTH WITHOUT LAND EXPANSION IS WAR.
WHOSE LAND ARE YORUBA GOING TO STEAL?
IS IT DAHOMEY? NUPE? EDO? EBIRA?
WILL U CREATE ANOTHER LEGISLATION TO COPY THE CHINESE ONE BABY/CHILD POLICY?

[[s]quote author=Duke001 post=65614323]SEN. IFEANYICHUKWU GODWIN ARARAUME; A LIFE OF DESTINY & SERVICE
Writing about the person of Distinguished Senator Ifeanyichukwu Godwin Araraume is a herculean task as one is confused as to where to start from. It is akin to the blind man who was asked to touch an elephant and describe what he felt. How do you talk about a business titan, political colossus, Senator of the Federal Republic, silent philanthropist, dotting father and loving grand dad, notable Nigerian and statesman.

HIS QUEST TO GOVERN IMO
Sen Ifeanyi Araraume believes there is a limit to what his personal wealth and influence can do to alleviate the suffering of people around him. He knows that with the instrument of government, he can reach as much people as possible with amenities and opportunities with proper utilization of resources, probity, due process and respect for rule of law. This underlines his quest for political power and the desire to occupy the seat of Governor of Imo State. As an individual, he is comfortable with the little God has blessed him with. He has been quoted to have said severally that he doesn’t desire to be governor for personal aggrandizement or as a laurel on his political accomplishments but sees the office as an instrument to help others and provide an enabling environment for others, especially the youths to achieve their dreams in life. His solid Report Card and dividends attracted to his senatorial zone indicates a man who says what he means, and means what he says. A man who power doesn’t intoxicate or moved by its privileges and pecks. A man who keeps to agreements and faithful to his friends’ and associates alike.
