Oodua Republic: October 1st Rally Must Hold To Free The Yoruba Race From Bondage – YOV


A Diaspora coalition, Yoruba One Voice (YOV), has said that its proposed peaceful rally slated for October 1 must
hold to sensitize the world on the need to liberate the Yoruba race, as the “forced marriage” has not been working.

The group explained that the self determination rally tagged: “Oodua Republic” sensitization campaign was designed to draw the attention of the global world to situation and happenings in Nigeria, stressing that the rally would be conducted in line with the global template for the fulfillment of its desire as well as the liberation of the Yoruba people in Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Tuesday 22, by Comrade Zacheaus Somorin, YOV’s Director of Communications, he said all arrangements have been concluded to ensure a peaceful rally.

“The rally is to sensitize the world on the need to liberate Yoruba race from the shackles of bondage. We have made our position known to our people in Nigeria. The reason for seeking self determination as the best means and alternative is to save the nation from impending implosion.

“Nigeria has failed. The country is failing by the day. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, said it recently, Prof.Wole Soyinka also said it, even the Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, has raised the alarm severally that the country is drifting.

“Similarly, the revered former Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Diocese, John Onaiyekan, now Archbishop Emeritus, didn’t minced words recently in an interview where he said Nigeria can break up even before 2023, if we continue to be irresponsible and reckless.

“In Nigeria today, life is of no value. There is raging insecurity, electoral rigging, corruption, nepotism and cruel misgovernance. Nigerians at home are mostly affected. There is need for us to rise against political enslavement by a section of the country.

“It is all about our image, it is all about our identity as member of a nation. This ‘forced marriage’ has not been working.

“Nigeria will be 60 by October and the truth is that there is nothing to show for it. Nothing except senseless killings, kidnapping, corruption, election rigging occasioned by bad leadership. So, we need to change the narratives. We need to fight against these lawlessness and huge misappropriation of national fortune,” Somorin said.

Urging the Yoruba sons and daughters in Nigeria to brace up to the reality of the situation on ground, Somorin stressed that the spirits of the Yorubas are high and ready to campaign for the actualization of Oodua Republic.

“The feedback we are getting from the Diaspora indicates that Yoruba in Nigeria are ready for the rally and the campaign for the actualisation of Oodua Republic. The spirit of Yoruba race is high and we are monitoring unfolding events and I am sure we shall achieve the best for our race,” Somorin added.

The YOV presently in 176 countries across all the six continents, is the umbrella group of over 300 groups of Yoruba descendants in the world.
