Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has, again, advocated peaceful balkanization of Nigeria, if the country could no longer work.
Igboho who made the advocacy in a viral video, said Yoruba, Igbo and other tribes in the country should be allowed to go their separate ways instead of forcing them to remain one in a forced union.
According to him, many Nigerians are no longer proud to identify themselves as citizens of the country, hence the need for a peaceful devolution.
Igboho who spoke at an airport in the United Kingdom, said corruption, insecurity, and a bad economy are the reasons for the lack of patriotism in the country.
He averred that Yoruba youths, who according to him, have gained valuable knowledge and experience from travelling worldwide, are eager to transform the Yoruba nation into a modern, prosperous society similar to that of Europe.
Igboho 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.”
While Igboho agitated for Oduduwa Republic, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, seeks restoration of Biafra Republic
