YORUBA, IGBO, OTHERS SHOULD SEPARATE IF NIGERIA CANNOT FUNCTION AS A UNIFIED NATION – SUNDAY IGBOHO
Yoruba Nation advocate, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, has claimed that many Nigerians no longer feel proud to identify as citizens of the country.
In a video posted online on Thursday, Igboho, who was seen at an airport in the United Kingdom, blamed corruption, insecurity, and a poor economy for the decline in patriotism among Nigerians.
He also suggested that if Nigeria cannot function as a unified nation, different ethnic groups should be allowed to separate.
Igboho emphasized that Yoruba youths, who have acquired valuable knowledge and experience through global travels, are eager to build a modern and prosperous Yoruba nation, similar to European countries.
He said, “Even inside the airport, there is no security. They can steal your belongings inside your bag (in Nigerian airports). All these are the things dissuading people from being proud of the country, Nigeria.
“Things like that make us sad to identify ourselves as Nigerians. This is why we advocate for separation. If Nigeria is not working as a country, it is better we go our separate ways.
“Our (Yoruba) youths will transform Yoruba nation. Most of them have travelled across the world, and they have learned a lot. If they come back to Yoruba land, the knowledge will help them build it and transform the nation like those in Europe.”
