A Yoruba socio-cultural group, Ìgbìnmó Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorùbá, has called on President Bola Tinubu to remove Kwara State and Kogi West from the classification of “northern states,” insisting that the areas are historically and linguistically Yoruba.
In a statement signed by its Convener, Olusola Badero, and Home Director, Princess Balogun, the group stressed that Kwara South, Kwara Central, and Kogi West are predominantly Yoruba-speaking with deep cultural and ancestral ties to the Yoruba nation.
The union argued that labeling the regions as “northern” undermines Yoruba identity and subjects the people to political and cultural marginalisation.
Raising alarm over escalating insecurity, the group alleged that Fulani herders, disguised as cattle rearers, have been responsible for killings, kidnappings, and land grabs. According to the statement, more than 10 Yoruba vigilantes and forest guards were killed in Kwara South on Sunday in attacks allegedly carried out by herders.
The group accused the federal government of arming these individuals.
“It is disheartening that Miyetti Allah members, implicated in attacks on our people, are the same individuals given AK-47 rifles to ‘protect’ us. How can murderers be assigned as protectors? It is nothing short of betrayal,” the statement read.
The Yoruba Union warned that President Tinubu risked being judged harshly by history if he failed to act, urging him to immediately correct what they described as a “historic anomaly” by reclassifying Kwara and Kogi West.
They also demanded the withdrawal of the so-called “Bororos” deployed to Kwara South, while calling for stronger protection of Yoruba lives and property.
Beyond government action, the group appealed to Yoruba communities at home and abroad to provide support for local vigilantes and extended condolences to the families of those killed in recent attacks, describing them as heroes of the Yoruba cause.
“This is not just a call for reclassification but a demand for survival,” the group declared, insisting that Yoruba-speaking regions should not be subsumed under a “fraudulent northern identity.”

They are so quick to throw themselves under the bus to save shame.

Don't trust this people at your most difficult times . 😂 😂 😆 😆

Weytinz dey Tinubu mind
Pass all dis tinz wey u dey yan

Make emir no hear this one ooo my hand no dey

Children of perdition

Yoruba Union don make sense appeal.

So the best way to help your “kinsmen” is by denying and disassociating with them when they’re under attack?

No wonder some people call them judases.

If Tinubu does not do it now, Yoruba will never have the chance ever again.

If he is waiting for second term to do it, then he'll be disappointed.

2nd term is not sacrosanct.

Make I no talk wetin dey my mind. Abeg, I go just sidon look.

It’s not needed. As long as we’re in Nigeria, they should be at where they’re..

Being at where they’re somehow help favors yoruba superiority. Even tho, the intention to segregate them from the west was just to limit Yoruba superiority but they couldn’t achieve that... The blood in us nah real blood, no be Payo..

Goodmarlian:
Make emir no hear this one ooo my hand no dey

these people wan just provoke the Fulani people to install more emirs

Yoruba people should respect their hosts.

Fulanis own all lands in Sw

ILORIN IS A FULANI EMIRATE IN KWARA STATE ..... KWARA HAS NO ECONOMIC VALUE.... ANOTHER PARASITIC STATE
FULANI CAN HAVE IT

A OBA should be appointed and be given first class title, then the chairman of traditional council should be rotated 📌💯, a mordern benefitting palace should be built for him and watch how homage will disappear from the Emirs palace. I don't know why Tinubu stepped back in local government autonomy. To pocket this Fulanis na one hand wey Trump dey on their case🤷🏿.

Pii11iigg!!!

Tinubu cannot try it. Kwara is part of the north and so shall it be forever.

It is when Nigeria breaks up that they will choose to cast their lot with their kinsmen. For now, Yoruba as a whole is trapped in Nigeria

Is not possible. Tinubu does not have the ball to do it.

Yoruba stop dragging kwara people

Osun state is next to be colonized by the emirate

See how these ones just went and 'kobalized' themselves

Now the bandits will go and start attacking these particular villages they have mentioned in this article

As long as you can trust Joe Igbokwe and Umahi in your midst, that is all we ask for

For Justice sake, Let there be a Bill for boundary adjustment and régional regrouping sponsored and supported by the President.
This should move Kwara and Kogi west to South West. Create Anioma State and Ikwerre State add to South East.

Wonders shall never end 😁😁😁😁😁

See the people whose only business is Nnamdi Kanu and his picture!!!!


You all better be good Ilorin citizens and quickly go and dobale flat for emir gambari for Una chop money.....

After that, continue chasing obi upandan

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A yorobah group is calling for the inclusion of a state that is already in the north, to be added to yorobah states. And the thread is still in page one since. Had it been this thread is about an Igbo group calling on tinibu for an inclusion of a state from SS to SE by now, this thread go don reach page 15 that is to tell that the yorobahs are the ones looking for SE trouble.

No that's not possible, KWARA STATE, not only ILORIN is gone for good.


Every sensible Yoruba man now should start thinking of how to secure OSUN STATE borders in order to avoid stories that touch the rat

And they are against aniomas joining there igbo brothers

See as you are commenting on something that is not to do with Ndigbo or Aligbo and not one person is querying you, if it was the other way round now, you will want to kpai people, both neutral like me and Batists, that dare to comment.

Ya hypocrisy not get part 2, Walahi talahi.
