While the nation is still grappling with various agitations across the country, a coalition of Yoruba groups, Yoruba Liberation Command (YOLICOM), has declared that the Yorubas are set to secede from Nigeria to form Oduduwa Republic.

Speaking on Thursday in Lagos, Opeoluwa Akinola, spokesperson of the coalition, said Nigeria is slowing down the progress of the Yorubas, killing and maiming the citizenry for selfish interests.

Ancient Yoruba warlord, Agbekoya, Oodua Redemption Alliance, among others, who were part of the coalition also said though they were not agitating for war but they are equal to the task, should there be need.

Akinola stressed that Yorubas were forced by the British into Nigeria in 1914 and the best time for peaceful dissolution, like other countries is now.

“Nigeria has become a burden on Yoruba people. We suddenly have been exposed to unimaginable threats of violence, wiping off entire families through clubbing to death, kidnapping of women and adults, savage killings, kidnap of school children and rape of infants.

“Stealing of public wealth and the public display of the stolen wealth, with arrogance by the criminals, the complete annihilation and confrontation of the poor people by the Nigerian state and many other ills that were hitherto strange to our long lasting ancient civilisation and values,” he said.

Akinola added that “the destruction of regional system of government has turned Nigeria into a unitary state dotted with savage vulture of corruption, ineptitude, inefficiency, moral degeneration, death, violence crimes and now violent religious extremism.

“The so-called democracy is nothing but the imposition of individual will through an orchestrated mass corruption where the poverty of the voters are exploited for electoral gains by politicians seeking political offices.

“Democracy is not about the interest of the few elected people and their cronies. Democracy is now government of the party for the party leaders and by the party members,” he said.

Akinola further stated that YOLICOM supports the aspiration of the Igbo nation, “irrespective of the unfortunate hate speeches, infantile savage utterances of a certain Nnamdi Kanu, who appears to have singled out Yoruba nation for ridicule and revulsion.

“We take solace in the fact that we work with many large-hearted, better-exposed, principled and consciousness Igbo leaders who have richer sense of history and understand better the complex nature of nation building and who also realise the importance of alliances, networking in statesmanship and international friendship and solidarity.”

He also said YOLICOM totally rejects the idea of restructuring as proposed by the Nigerian state and the political elite, adding that it is an attempt to restructure Nigeria on their own terms and not on the terms of the people.

“Nigeria will never be genuinely restructured by the present crop of political leaders who are themselves beneficiaries of the same skewed system.

“Even if the country will be restructured, it will still pass through the National Assembly which was created during the era of military rule of the Fulani to ensure an upper hand for the Fulani North”, he added.

One of the speakers, Francis Abayomi, corroborated that Oodua Republic is an alternative to agitation for Nigeria’s restructuring bid.

“We want to be free from generation of bond. We don’t want our children to be enslaved any longer. Most of us have spent good time in prison, so no threat can stop our agitation. Yoruba nation has an alternative. We can exist as a distinct nation. We want to ascertain our right to live as a country,” he said.

..They are waiting for IPOB to gain enough momentum ...when they see that the Biafran agitation has gotten to the point of no return..they will crawl out of their various holes shouting 'Oduduwa republicoo'..

..Next is to take credit for the IPOB victory by claiming that their 'sons' like FFK,Fayose and Wole Soyinka single-handedly made it happen.....you dont know these people.

I am still waiting for the day somebody will furnish me with details of the genesis of the Yorubas and Igbos contest especially here.
Why they see themselves as two sides of the same coin, that one group must win and the other should lose.

I think intellectual barrenness is responsible for this.....I hope to be proven otherwise

You are not Yoruba or you are ignorant about the negative effects of Nigerian government on our people.
The fact south west has been declining since the end of regional systems is pretty conclusive. There are too many major tribes with waring interest for Nigeria to succeed.
If you're indeed a Yoruba, open your eyes to the strategic effort to divert all Nigeria resources to the north while frustrating southwest and other regions.

The northerners don't care or love yoruba and they have made no secret about that. So spare us the unionist bull.

Copy copy yollobars.

Cowards, nobody will even take them serious.

I thought this same skull mining Afonja's said biafra is a scam...............well am not suprised, cause Afonjas have been suffering from zombieism since-1876.

In reality the Hausa Fulani has conditioned them into two side of the same coin.... The Hausa Fulani can always toss them at will and the Yoruba's can always dance and drink kunu to spite the Igbo's..

Let soldiers bring one person down and see the thought of not going to be alive for the next owambe will naturally kill the imaginary 'Kalakuta Republic'. Funny enough, the groups only exist on the newspapers. The game of we are here with Arewa and we are also there with Easterners. Any side the favour swings we are there. My stance on Yoruba remain until they sincerely prove otherwise.
