Seceding or even separatist activity needs a lot of backbone.

Yorubas don't have an Ojukwu that can secede and neither do they have an Nnamdi Kanu's who can take up separatist activity.

All they have is their mouth to talk too much with no action.

Yorubas are not freedom fighters, so what is best for Yorubas is to stay in Nigeria and keep begging the caliphate for restructuring. Besides this, I don't see any other future for Yorubas.

He that repeat the same experiment and expecting a different results is a "fool" What was all the talking and agreement reached in Aburi resulted to? The status quo is lopsided and Ojukwu tried something differently. What have the Yorubas tried differently order that playing second fiddle to the caliphate like our commissioner: Osibanjo. Obj was sleeping when Atiku was running the country until it was down on him like wise Tinubu believes Buhari will head over power to him. Abiola, his wife, kuti were all killed what did Yoruba's do? Ojukwu didn't just sit and watch his people slaughtered without giving a fight.

Which lie? There is no religious crisis of any kind in Yoruba land. Not when as a christian, u have a cousin or uncle who is a Muslim..

Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, on Wednesday, said the time was right for Yorubas to demand the breakup of Nigeria and creation of Oduduwa Republic.

He noted that the current killings allegedly being perpetrated by armed herdsmen was an indication that Yorubas must call for secession.

In a series of tweets, the former Minister stressed that people of the South West could no longer be part of Nigeria because President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly opposes restructuring.

Fani-Kayode wrote: “Any Fulani man that refuses to openly and unequivocally condemn the slaughter, ethnic cleansing and mass murder of Middle Belters, southerners and other Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen is no friend of mine. As a matter of fact such a person is a mortal enemy.

“Thank God that I am Yoruba. I was born Yoruba and I will die Yoruba. ‘Omo karo jire ni mi!’ And with the way things are going in Nigeria, I think that it is about time for the Yoruba to exercise their right of self-determination and consider the establishment of Oduduwa Republic.

“We cannot remain in a country where the President encourages and supports mass murder, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, where he says “no” to restructuring and where the life of a cow is worth more than the life of a human being. There is no fellowship between light and darkness!”

We Christian/Progressive Yorubas have been agitating for ododuwa, but fanatical Yoruba mozlems have sworn with their lives to be sabotaging it just because of their allegiance to the caliphate.
And my question is,...Is the caliphate more important than the interest of yorubas ?. This will tell you that average Yoruba mozlem place religion ist before the interest of yorubas .The same people will jump to your mention and be shouting "Yoruba is Yoruba" even when its obvious that there is difference between light and darkness

Note: " (Yoruba is Yoruba" is also phrase yorubaa mozleems use to advocate for Yoruba unity when they are dominating others, but will resist non Muslims from dominating them)

When Adeyinka Grandson was agitating for Oduduwa, 78 Yoruba mozlems went to report him to the caliphate for trying to separate them from their Fulani masters. I even stated it clear on my profile..." Show me a Yoruba Muslim supporting Oduduwa and I will show you a pregnant Virgin"

Yoruba mozlems hate when their activities are being exposed, but I Cyynthialove don't give a damn about their wailing no matter how they jump on my mention to stop me.
They are dragging yorubas and southerners backwards and they are disgrace to entire Yoruba race .
But we must continue no matter how they struggle to pull us down.

You are right and You are wrong. I'll explain. I am Yoruba and I have often agreed with FFK that for us an ethnic group to really realise our potential we need to depart from this current arrangement called Nigeria.
The problem with my people as I see it is that I am not even sure if we know what we want. I think we are just content to exist and are happy to be given whatever. I think Awolowo (great as he was in the minds of many sentiments aside go figure if in doubt) missed a very important opportunity to atleast have Nigeria restructed (all I've read points to this).

Truth be told as much as I am Yoruba and do not agree with some of what Nnamdi Kanu says (especially against Yorubas) I think most of his message is actually true and he's been proven right even in his abscene. It is quite unfortunate that due to politics SW and SE can't unite to break the backs of these bastard Northern Islamic Fundamentalists whom we Southerners have zero in common with.

I have said and I'll continue to say until the South unites against this Fulani North, not to confront them in war, but to defeat their purpose of keeping this current entity called Nigeria, we all will know little or no progress and change. A country is only a country if they people within it share certain core values and are by and large homogenous. Can we say same for Nigeria? I don't think so.

That is why people like FFK should stop talking about Oduduwa Republic, Yorubas are not freedom fighters.

Freedom fighters are people like Ojukwu and Kanu who will rise up against impossible odds, wether successful or not.

Yorubas have long embraced their slavery to the caliphate and are content with a few important political positions and begging for restructuring like a begger.

Ikenna0b:


If you guys have been to Benin republic especially the parts where Yorubas reside in that country despite their City being used as the capital of that country, you'll know exactly why Yorubas are terrified of oduduwa republic. Just like the North is very much aware that without Nigeria, they ain't shit, the Afonjas are also aware of it too about themselves. The only difference is the North is humble enough to admit it while Afinjas stays creating propaganda left and right to uplift their damaged egos. Hell I always always urge people to visit Benin republic if you truly what to see the capability of Afonjas without free oil from Niger delta. When I visited Porto-Novo, I sat in my hotel some days wondering how come the people that repeatedly claimed to have been the ones that developed Lagos, not the FG and others how come they did not do the same for Porto Novo despite Porto Novo had similar environment like Lagos. Honestly, reminded me of the images of Ibadan people use on this forum to mock them. The only difference is Porto Novo had few good building in between the brown roof dumpy looking buildings. Honestly, the Afonjas would never seek sovereignty. Quote me on that.

Godfullsam:


If taking harms and wasting innocent souls is the surest way/approach to freedom, you lots would have gotten your imaginary biafra republic long time ago.

Both Kanu and Ojukwu only wasted lives and fled.

nextstep:
Then stop talking and do it... I've been hearing of Oduduwa for decades now... with the industrial and financial clout of Lagos, the upcoming industrialization of Ogun, raw resources in Ondo, it will be a very viable country.

I'm from Asaba, but I will happily apply for visa to Oduduwa (abi mo le lo Ecowas passport mi ni?)

ericsmith:



wisdom supercedes power/chest beating ..... fighters are subjected to command,or i will say errands.. nah!! nah!!
we (yoruba) are more than that,,just incase you donnt know we are nondisposable,,unexpendables as far as nigeria is concern.
besides what is the essence of restucturing when we basically lack implementation culture. if we had implementation of present constitution & budgets nigeria would av been great.
nigeria budget as never been implemented beyond 30% ,restructuring is just another documemtation of re apportioning national wealth fairly, it still doesnt infuse implementation vibes in us as nigerians.

4FACEADELEKE:
I want oduduwa republic for we Yoruba's. Those that say we can't survive on our own are very funny.In the pre colonial era where they oil?,or who had any oil well?.The various regions had regionalism which made them use their various resources to develop and take care of themselves. For those that still think crude oil is still relevant in this present age,are still living in grand illusion. Oil prices have fluctuated over the years and in a few years, fossil fueled cars and machines would be out of use.For every country that wants to make it in this modern era must diversify or die out.Nigeria judgement day is coming,we can only postpone judgement day but we can't stop it.Be it oduduwa,arewa,Niger Delta, biafra republic,if they all don't have good leadership, the problems that hunted Nigeria will still go on to hunt them.There are countries that don't have natural resources like Japan,but because of good leadership, they are today a very developed and industrialized nation,and a major global technological hub.

Xander85:


The key thing is that they didn't roll over and accept any shi't the fulani 'owners of Nigeria' tried with them....they put up a fight, no matter what you may think of their efforts and the end result!

If at least two other ethnic groups had individuals with the guts of Ikemba and Mazi kanu to seek for the emancipation of their people from this prison we're in, and more importantly, if they equally had the kind of mass following these two men had, then i bet you things will change overnight b'cos the northern oligarchs will realise the game is up and it's either they agree to restructuring or they loose everything!

But i suspect the Yoruba prefer being in Nigeria than going it alone as a independent and free Oduduwa nation. They don't have that self-belief that they can succeed as a people on their own without Nigeria and all the advantages they think they have by being Nigerians. With the likes of Tinubu being their leader, you can just perish the thought of Oduduwa nationalism and any thoughts of emancipation of the Yoruba ethnic group! They'll tell you they 'don't need any emancipating thank you very much' that you should mind your effing business! They'll tell you that what Nigeria needs is Buhari, APC, and to kill corruption....once these three factors are in place then everything will be fine!

mumu comparison.

Porto novo although the capital of Benin is only a town of importance ON PAPER. It is like any other town in Benin Republic. The real capital of Benin is Cotonou. Even Bohicon and Calavi get more importat projects and infrastructure than porto Novo, that is to tell you how unimportant the town is.
Besides, as small as Benin is, how many Nigerian towns are better than Cotonou in terms of overall development?

What is even your point exactly? that two seperate countries historically under two different colonial systems, one British and one French which has led to a great difference in terms of ideology and imperial legacies between Yoruba Nigerians and Yoruba Beninese people should have the same outlook? So If Igboland were to be an independent former French colony, would it be better than Congo today ? Afterall, in every other single aspect I can absolutely compare Igbos and Congolese people. Why are Ewes in Togo not as Developed as the Ewes in Ghana? Oil money and having igbo mumus for neighbours too, I guess?.

This is how some of you Nairalanders think you are smart, but end up writing things in the range of a -10 I.Q, and of course your fellow slowpokes would follow you to "like" such comments, displaying their own stupidity in the process.

In what aspect can you compare the Igbos to the Congolese? Is it in terms of their ugliness (which they inherited from constant romance with the dirty yoruba mo.rons),or their laziness (which is a typical characteristic of a Yoruba man). Things like these are some of the reasons why a noble man referred Yorubas as sophisticated mo.rons. meanwhile, Oduduwa republic can only exist on nairaland. Slave

Movic1:


Many people here on Nairaland definitely knows that you are not yoruba... 90% of your comments here is all about dividing yorubas on religion line which yourself knew that your tactics doesn't sell...
We Yorubas are known to be the most tolerating, accommodating and harmonious
tribe or ethnic group in Nigeria, especially when it comes to religion.

playing up the differences between the groups won't work oga. We can fight ourselves when it comes to money,property, leadership, politics, or land matters,but religious crisis has never occurred in Yorubaland.Yorubas are Yorubas irrespective of their religious differences.

OkutaNla:


Ignore that inferior Igbo e-tout that calls himself ikenna0b -- he's a well known mentally challenged inferior igbo boy from Asaba axis whom has developed a serious inferiority complex as a result of the rejection of his igboness by the SE-based igbos. That has caused him to become so embittered that he takes out his frustration on Yorubas as if we are the cause of his problems in life. Irrationally bashing Yorubas is the only tonic that gives his miserable existence any semblance of meaning and purpose. At the rate they are going, he and his fellow Igbos will have no other choice than to end their lives in suicide over Yoruba matter.
