MrColdsweat:
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.

Lol. Too bad if you think this way.

We can still achieve secession through dialog among ourselves Christians, Muslims and Traditionalists. We may need to change the name of the proposed country and also remove the Oduduwa image on the flag.

I no blame you people jare, den don force me self to come embrace Nigeria by fire by force.

These are bastardd Yoruba not the authentic ones like us, the pitbulls of Yorubaland.

They are anarchists and I would have loved for them to be arrested if not for the fact that it will make them feel important.

The chief coward Gani Adams has ran away without anyone chasing him just to make a name for himself. The desperate iddiot wants to put himself among people who actually ran barefooted across the border when Abacha was in power.

These groups are only representing some Yoruba not all. They are paid by non Yoruba to cause chaos in Yorubaland and scuttle Tinubu chances in favor of others.

Officialhorlah:
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”.

Thankfully not all Yoruba people are stupid enough to try and succeed from Nigeria. Sadly, I cannot say the same for igbo people

Kcitytv:
omg
Which means it dead on arrival

Respected Yoruba Elders rejected it totally in its entirety.

Half of Yoruba youths have rejected it totally.

It is Dead and Buried till further notice.

ZKOSOSO:
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.
Tinubu
Oshiomole
Bisi Akande
Lai Mohammed
Fashola
Aregbesola
Mko Abiola

It is what is it...!

Headache of the parasitic East.

Hey Shattapp....!!

Arrewa:
nothing like that...

One Nigeria is now dead...

Let's stop deceiving ourselves... Nigeria can never ever be one!

I strongly support the peaceful division of this country.

We can trade and be good neighbors.

Indeed we do and we are already on course as you can see by strategic projects in the north, but it will surely not be premature or at the prompting of any politically frustrated bigots in the south.

Hey Shattapp....!!

Your headache.

Susu888:
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!

Omode.....! What do you know about politics...? Nothing!
Tinubu as muslim couldn’t have been VP to Fulani Muslim Buhari..! Ambode was chosen reluctantly instead of Muiz Banure who is a muslim because PDP n CAN vowed to take over Lagos governor seat because Christians are 80% of Lagos population...! Sanwo Olu is also a beneficiary of this.
When PDP presents a Christian candidate for Gov in Lagos, Tinubu would have no option than to hide his Islamist agenda..! Check out the composition of members of House of Assembly of Lagos...mostly muslims...!!

Haywhysat:
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.

Christians behave like their slave masters too.
The association dont represent muslims because there is no general meeting or consensus.Oduduwa republic must go on .All these are distractions.Odua proponents must educate more organisation on the needs and prospect of a new nation.

The muslims might fear stigmatisation from xtians in odua republic.I remembered when my muslim friend went to a xtian lawyer to sign her forms for law school,the xtian lawyer shamed her for being a muslim and chased her out of his office.
I took her form to a fulani judge,the fulani signed without any question about the lady.

It will not be easy for the muslims in the SW because of their minority status.

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

yorubas can never grow up with balls in tact

yes

Why changing the name? What's wrong with Oduduwa as a name?
Why removing Oduduwa symbols?

It's far better to identify with and promote our heritage than identifying with and promoting any foreign religion.
