The Yoruba Council of Elders says nobody has the right to ask Nigerians living lawfully and doing legitimate business in any part of the country to vacate.
General Secretary of the YCE, Dr. Kunle Olajide, said this on Friday in an interview with SaharaReporters. He said this in reaction to the 72-hour ultimatum a Northern group, Arewa Youth Assembly, issued to a Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho, to move Yoruba people from the North. The Speaker of the Arewa Youth Assembly, Mohammed Salihu Danlami, in a statement on Thursday, had said,"We are now giving him the ultimatum of 72 hours to move his people out, or we will be forced to take necessary actions by personally taking the responsibility of getting his people back home."
I don’t understand all this mathematical separation any more o! You said you want a Yoruba nation yet you want Yoruba people to remain in the Northern part of Nigeria. Shey Una well?
Let us unity coz unity is power
That is the answèr for you, you know that but you are killing the northern those who are living in your area.
Apart from violent Fulani marauding TERRORIST.
Noooo.... No one is leaving, the girl I'm about to marry is Yoruba, we must marry ooo
The north should be ejected out from the west
Pls tell igboho that .he gave quit notice twice to fulani to vacate yoruba land.
If they divide dis country jelof rice go hard u 2 chop 🤣
Another Sunday igboho
A simple motion can we divide dis country make bandit, boko haram fulani, hausa make dem dey dere north abeg we don't like trouble in da south let us be
The parasites don't want to leave, why una dey fear to leave the north u people dey insults everyday and time?..ok bcz una dey get free food? Bcz we accommodate una peacefully, right?,If una want to live in the north, then why don't you call igboho to order?
Not all grey haired wide mouths are 'Yoruba Elders'. So long they eat cow skin ( ponmo) and Amala,even if their daughters were murdered by fulanis,they would accept as their fate (God forbid). A slave would no longer determine my geographical existence.
That’s right. Hence we are Nigeria. Wherever we go and live, we make a family. Not every post we gonna respond. We are One Nigeria whether they like it or not. As BIG as United States of America, dem no divided neither broken up. Naija be wise my people.
2. They loot/vandalise, kill, maim, terrorise, rape, kidnap and extort our people. They establish fiefdoms and attempt to Lord it over our own established local institutions in our own territory. Something that other tribes cannot dare in their domain. Like Igboho said, 'Enough'
This Yoruba leader is an exemplary leader and well known to me, but i cannot really pick direction in his narrative. Are Yorubas in the North committing mayhem, extorting, raping Hausas ir Fulani? If they are, please kick them out. Fulanis here are not law abiding.
Look here all elders are blind to see that God is doing the fight for them because he wants them to fight war again but if they continue with foolishness of one Nigeria they are going to end up fighting another war so there's need for Yorubas boycott foolish elders Godcomment...
Lazy Arewa youths with their eyes on other people’s properties in the north.
Igboho asked yorubas in the north to return home he claimed the yoruba elders supports the motion now you are saying d ppl have d right to settle anywhere in the country... You guys should align let's know where we stand.
For the love of motherland and in her defense please follow us up as we set the stage higher, we have come to stay and we must change the narratives of yesterday bcnewsroom
Hypocrisy of the highest order.
South west people chase Fulani awAy from their settlements- no issues.. everywhere soft Fulani chase south west people away -WAHALA!
But, your people are giving ours ultimatum. While, Sunday Igboho declared Yorubas to leave North.
All these upheavals in the country are all happening because very clearly there's no govt in Nigeria.
I LOVE THIS - time to separate?
With do respect YORABA ELDERS, you fall to perform your duty,
So tired of this country
I thought they declared oduduwa republic, which Nigeria are they talking about again?
Dumbest country
Wo fi gbogbo awawi wọn yí silẹ jàre 🙄🙄 What's the way forward, that's the point now
Until dem die finish abi
