An Open Letter to the Yoruba People
Before Tinubu became the president of this country, we had ethnic bigotry, a massive one at that. It was not something Nigerians were unaware of.
It existed among the masses, but at least it carried shame. It stayed hidden and only showed up in subtle ways. Our government officials always came out to claim neutrality, even when they were complete bigots. They respected their offices and did not display that bias publicly.
Today, we have presidential aides and other top government officials practicing bigotry in the open. Today, even our police, army, and others alike are doing the same without hiding it. The Nigerian military is the only military in the world that has been frequently community noted on the issue of bigotry. All because an Igbo man is the top opposition leader and a Yoruba man is in power.
The people participating in this public shame are not up to 10% of the Yoruba nation. But they are doing serious damage and shaping the narrative. They are louder than the 90% who are not like them, and because of that, they are shaping how the entire Yoruba race is being seen.
To all the Yorubas who will read this, do not get angry, emotional, or defensive and miss the message.
If you are not a bigot, then it is time to speak up and show it. Make it clear that this 10% does not represent you. If you stay quiet and allow them to keep being this loud, the world will take it as agreement. It will look like the Yoruba nation supports what is happening.
Tinubu does not represent the Yorubas.
Yoruba ronu used to be a good call until Tinubu and the APC turned it into a thing of political shame. The Oro festival and the Oro deity used to be revered Yoruba culture until Tinubu and the APC turned them into a thing of political shame. The Oba of Lagos used to mean something in the world until Tinubu and the APC turned it into a thing of political shame.
Yorubas, how many parts of your culture are you going to allow the APC and this man to destroy before you rise up and take action?
I would have called “Yoruba ronu,” and it would have fit perfectly for this message, but unfortunately, Tinubu has taken that away, and now that Yoruba cultural call is linked to shame.
The time to rise up is now before it is too late.
Yoruba Ronu ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

@Deb_Al100 @Bayo_Bilisi I'm glad the message is beginning to get through. I hope more Yorùbá people see it. No entity flourishes when it's in a state of fighting for survival. We can only thrive when we aren't forced to keep fighting other ethnicities from replacing us on our land. God help us.

@Bayo_Bilisi DEAR YORUBA, IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR REGION TO BECOME COMPLETELY DECADENT! IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!
Your society is your responsibility!
English

@olubunmi_J @Bayo_Bilisi I am beginning to see why Yoruba must start thinking of an exit route from Nigeria! We share a country with retrogressive people!
If we want a real and long lasting progress, its definitely not in this country.
English

@Bayo_Bilisi Unfortunately we can't deport them. They'll simply find their way back.
How I wish my ppl will open their eyes and see the disadvantages of sharing a country with Ibos. How I wish my people can take the bold step of liberating Yorùbáland from Nigeria. Online bants ain't enough.
English

@Bayo_Bilisi Maybe one day our leaders in Yorubaland will stop being politically correct, and tackle these Ibos on our land!
Everyone is focused only on Fulanis, but Ibos are equally doing serious damage to the society! Fulanis and Ibos are a menace to the society.

Well, that's a sign of civilization.
The Igala are a separate ethnicity, but our historical and linguistic connections are very deep. The Attah of Ígálá even acknowledged that the Ígálá language is 60% Yorùbá, and linguists record a 66% similarity score between both languages.
Bolu@essentialbolu
@BusuyiOrisWorks I didn’t know this. What is interesting is that Yorubas do not even interfere in Igala matters or try to claim any affinity just because of similarity in language.

Lol.
If you send the one million naira today, I’ll gladly deliver it. No one has ever gotten a chessboard for free. It was either bought directly or paid for by someone else as a gift.
Put your money where your mouth is and stop waffling. It’s for a good cause, not politics🤗

Nobody has invested in education more than Peter Obi in the Nigerian political space, so why hasn’t Tunde Onakoya presented him with a chessboard? And he claims to be apolitical but steady chilling with Seyi Tinubu. I respect people who are bold enough to take a stand. This “I’m apolitical” posture, while your actions clearly suggest otherwise, comes across as nothing more than quiet cowardice.

@adekzy @DamilolAdeyem1 @Tunde_OD I gave two local examples to your level of understanding, but you have consciously refused to reason therein.
Goodluck.

The Hausa people saw the British as people who came to liberate them from Fulani colonialism. That was why many Hausa people joined the Royal Niger army/militias. It was a way for them to escape poverty and feudalism that was imposed on them by Fulani elites.
Unfortunately, they were used and dumped by the British. The British instead of empowered the Dan Fodio structure and left it intact in colonial and post colonial Nigeria.
