Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has stated that it was better for the Igbo, Yoruba and other ethnic groups to go their seperate ways if Nigeria cannot function as a unified country.
Igboho who said this in a video seen online on Thursday, pointed out that if the country breaks up today, Yoruba youths, enriched by global exposure, would transform the Yoruba nation into a modern, prosperous society like those in Europe.
“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.”
Speaking further, Igboho, who was spotted at an airport in the United Kingdom in the video, said corruption, insecurity, and a bad economy are the reasons for the lack of patriotism in the country.
“Inside this 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”, he lamented.
