The President-General of the Yoruba World Congress, Prof. Banji Akintoye, said on Wednesday that the over 55 million Yoruba people in the South-West would get freedom by having the sovereign Yoruba nation without breaking the law of Nigeria or shedding blood.

Akintoye stated this at the YWC House in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, during the celebration of the anniversary of the Kiriji War, which happened over 130 years ago.

The retired don said, “We have been saying we will have the Yoruba nation. The Yoruba World Congress is committed to helping the Yoruba nation to secure its position in the comity of nations.”


Stressing the significance of the struggle, he said, “When we first started the process, we had a total of 45 organisations, but now, we can boast of a total of 107 different organisations.

“They do say that I don’t compromise; it is not every time. But once we say we will take a common stance, I don’t know how to betray. We will get the Yoruba nation free without violence; we will not break the laws of Nigeria. If there is anyone who wants to be violent, we will tell them, no.”


On the proposed rally fixed for October 1 by some youths, he said they reserved the rights to stage the rally, but warned against violence.”



The leader of the Movement for Oduduwa Republic, Mr Akin George, stressed on unity among the Yoruba.


He said, “We can’t fight the enemies if the home front is divided. We may have misunderstanding, but it should not lead to a quarrel.”


Other dignitaries at the celebration were High Chief Lekan Balogun, the Otun Olubadan who represented the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji; the Convener, Yoruba Koya, Otunba Deji Osibogun, among others.

Igbos will not like this news.

confused people.

We are getting there

How I wish it comes today and not wait any longer.
Our problem is just betrayal by fellow citizens.

Certainly you can't get sovereignty through bullying, hate speech and hate filled campaigns.

You don't need to get people killed there is always a diplomatic way of doing it.
You don't boast that you will sacrifice your people just to get sovereignty.

Oduduwa Nation will come and no blood will be shed!
All that is needed is unity of purpose.

But somebody once said..."if he hear the Yoruba people beating drums of war,he will go back to sleep.."

Dreaming of getting freedom without bloodshed is the advanced form of cowardice.
Freedom is not for those that scared of paying the Supreme price (death).
Cowards always think that fear is smartness.
Whenever cowards submerge in fear they link whatever happens after as a result of their "smartness".
I didn't call names o

Lol scam

Let them start the protest like Ipob then we will take them serious

but the protest must be peaceful to avoid bloodshed
We all know buhari is not smiling

I hope the idiot found oil in the North?

SUPPORTED.

They have supporters here very very plenty..

A nation borrowing to construct rail line to another country to transport crude oil....

Seun is against secession, but truth is that Nigeria can not continue this way forever.
Like I said earlier, if God can split his beloved country, Israel, what is do special about Nigeria....
