Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) and the National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations (NACOMYO) on Tuesday said that Muslims in the South West are not part of the recent call for the Oduduwa Republic.

DAILY POST recalls that some Yoruba leaders among whom are Professor Banji Akinyoye had said that the Yoruba ethnic group was ready to take its own country out of Nigeria.

But, the Muslim students and Muslim youths while speaking on Tuesday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital noted that Muslims in the South West will not be part of any agitation for the creation of Oduduwa Republic and the planned protest slated for October 1st.

MSSN B-Zone Amir, Barrister Qaasim Odedeji while speaking at a press conference jointly organised by MSSN B-Zone and NACOMYO Southern Nigeria, appealed to all Yoruba’s to shun any rally in the name of Oduduwa Republic.

Odedeji who condemned the agitation for secession or creation of Oduduwa Republic added that agitation is not only unwarranted and uncalled for, it is also ill-motivated and devilish.

He said, “The secessionist groups have not only chosen a name for their proposed republic but have also designed its currency which has been paraded on social media. In order to gain global attention for their agitation, Yoruba World Congress has planned a rally to be held on the 1st day of October, the Nigeria Independence Day. It is a good development that many other Yoruba groups and some eminent personalities in Yorubaland have dissociated themselves from secessionists agenda and their planned October 1 rally.

"We, however, to make our voice louder and speak in one voice, as the major Muslim Youths of Yoruba extraction, condemn in stronger terms any agitation for secession or creation of Oduduwa Republic. It is our considered view that the agitation is not only unwarranted and uncalled for, it is also ill-motivated and devilish. It is a call for war and bloodshed and we, as critical stakeholders will not allow individuals or group of people acting in their own selfish and parochial interest, to drag us into an unnecessary war.

"It becomes more worrisome and the need for our intervention when the secessionists, in their cunning way of claiming support of Muslims suddenly gave birth to a “Yoruba Jamatru Islam” a faceless group existing only in the imagination of their fake sponsors.

Odedeji further added that any Muslim who understands Islam will not fight based on ethnicity.

"The Holy Prophet (SAW) said that he is not part of us who fights on the basis of ethnicism. He is not part of us who dies on the basis of ethnicism.

"In Oyo State, Lagos, Osun, Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti, are our leaders Hausa or Igbo. Is Oyo State better governed, is Osun, Ekiti and other states in the South West better governed? It is some people who are looking for money to eat they are calling for Oduduwa republic. Are we the only group in Nigeria, is Nigeria for only three ethnic groups. If anyone is claiming to be marginalized, it should not be Yoruba.

“Gentlemen of the press, we, like many other Nigerians, are worried and concerned that Nigeria as a nation despite its endowment with human and natural resources, has become beset with poverty and insecurity as evidenced by acts of terrorism, kidnapping, banditry, thuggery, cultism, ritual killing in all parts of the country, we, however, do not believe that secession is the answer to our multi-facet problems. Rather, it is capable of throwing the nation into another round of war and bloodshed as the experience of such agitation as recorded in the agitation for a sovereign state of Biafra, Soviet Union/Russia and recently the Sudan experience is nothing to write home about. It has always been a bad tale.

“Gentlemen of the press, when we are also not oblivious of the constitutional right to freedom of expression, we also believe it is clearly wrong to speak on behalf of the entire Yoruba people on such a serious issue like secession without the consent and approval of critical stakeholders that our organisations represent.

“We appeal to all Nigerians to put all hands on deck towards ensuring the development of one Nigeria. Nations are built on visions, ideals and values while peace is the most desired by us all as violence is too expensive to pay its due. Finally, we call on all Nigerians especially our respected Yoruba brothers and sisters to shun any rally in the name of Oduduwa Republic”.

And where exactly would the war come from? Would the rich northerners allow all the soldiers guarding them go fight in the south?

omg
Which means it dead on arrival

YORUBA MUSLIM group OK

It's getting interesting.

Sammy07 was telling another member the other day that there was nothing like yoruba mooslims, what do we call this one now?


Lol.. they will not fight for ethnicity neither would die for same, so how do you want to live if you don't fight when they come for you? We expect Mumuric to lend credence to this soon.

What do you expect from Yoruba Muslims....? Islam itself is stronger than Covid19, Cancer and Madness rolled in One.

Behold the only problem with Southern efforts to crash the Parasitic North is Yoruba Muslims factor.

They said Mumuric was a one man show, these are boasting of their numerical strength. Nobody can deny they are a natural pressure group.

It is simply inevitable if we insist on following the current path. No Muslim, Christian or Shango worshippers will be able to stop it.

We knew it Yoruba Muslims has always been our problem in South West,

Once Oduduwa gain independent now, The Muslims will like to rule them.

Lol, I don't know why our Muslims behave like hausa. Muslims... Well, our Muslims have started dressing like hausas and fulanis too.. You will see a yoruba man fully dressed in hausa attire with hausa cap and Arabic name as first name and last name.... All the best to everyone of them.

Same muric, same Youruba muslims!

Those are the Islamic terrorist society southwest chapter...they can never support the progressive union because they are part of the Sharia Agenda of the nation...
May the Lord save us.....

Abeg how oshio baba take be muslim? Or yoruba for that matter?
Nd r only these the leaders of the yoruba's? Or u jst chose the ones that suited ur narration?

Something about yoruba's u should know , religion doesn't rile them up.
Lets take tinubu for example :
*He nominated a christian pastor for the position of v.p
*Ambode no be muslim
*Sanwa Olu no be muslim
*Kemi adesun no be muslim
*Babatunde fowler no be muslim
Need i go on...??
So yarn something else!

.

Chaiii
Secession is never an easy task,even your own people go dey fight against you ,meanwhile Yoruba Muslims should be careful with this their opposition because if the agitation becomes successful I forsee religious genocide and cleaning because they will become enemies of the state.

MSSN,NACOMYO are funded by politicians.Just collect your commonwealth from them and say you don't support but we are all for Oduduwa nation.

Just like Amotekun,Oduduwa nation is here to stay.

*Ibn Hazm:*

*“Whoever believes that they will be safe from the attacks and criticism of the people is insane.”*

*من قدّر أنه يسلم من طعن الناس وعيبهم فهو مجنون*

*Rasā’il, p. 339.*

*Focus on pleasing Allāh!*

We abhor killing of lives with relish and causing retrogression to others.

You really don't grab. I'm a yoruba man as well. Why will someone have both surname, first name and last name as Arabic name.

Is Donald Duke a Nigerian name?
There are many names in Nigeria that were influenced by religion but this does not erase their tribe.

One thing in Islam and Christianity is that you must align with your brethren in faith but there are exceptions especially when your brethrens go against the tenets of Allah/God.

Nothing Can Stop The Momentum. We Should All Cooperate To Make It A Reality.

When we tell them about ... Yoruba Muslim , they said we don't know anything...



I pity any sule, femi, sola that will go and protest tomorrow...

“

I've said it countlessly that amotekun and this recent agitation are what Yarribas hope to blackmail the north in 2023.

Like, why do you want to pull out after everything Nigeria has done for you? Given you railways, 3rd mainland bridge, nations theater, international airport etc.

You've had a Yoruba president for 8 years and a VP for 8years.

Why do you want to pull out?

Are this people not ungrateful?

I trust the Fulani judiciary to proscribe these oduduwa groups.
