The leader of Ilana Omo Oodua, a group championing self-determination for Yoruba people, Professor Banji Akintoye has alleged that some foreign terrorists have infiltrated some parts of South West of Nigeria.
Akintoye, a professor of History,who disclosed this on Tuesday,while addressing the Congress Organised by Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide in Ibadan, the Capital City of Oyo State,said the latest of such incidents was the abduction of travellers along the Lagos/ Ibadan expressway last Friday.
He implored all Yoruba descendants to demand a change in the Nigerian system which he alleged is faulty and also assured that the Yoruba nation would be actualized before the end of December.
He said Nigeria is going nowhere because Nigeria has been hooked to slave masters,adding that the ruling class are hell-bent on thwarting democratic principles to favour their greed, ego and personal interests.
He alleged that Nigeria as a project was designed to fail.
He added:“Let me say this to all, Nigeria is going nowhere, not because we don’t want it to grow or because we lack the intellectual capacity to make it work, but, It cannot work simply because Nigeria has been hooked to slave masters, the ruling class who are hell-bent to thwart democratic principles to favour their greed, ego and personal interests.
“Furthermore, Nigeria is a project (a country) that is designed to fail; a consumer nation in every ramification and a nation that failed in her responsibility to the citizenry. Nigeria is a nation that lacks technology that could cater for its industry and build a sustainable economy. It is, indeed, a nation of ideological bankruptcy. With these indices, can someone explain how it would work?
“All entreaties for the restructuring and the repositioning of the country had been turned down by the few cabals who hijacked Nigeria and turned it to their personal estate for personal benefits.”
In his remarks, Chief Kunle Adelakun (Eruobodo), Interim General Secretary, Ilana Omo Oodua and Jagunmolu Agbekoya of Yoruba land, said that the President Buhari-led government should be aware that the will of God shall be done because the time to achieve the dream of Yoruba nation is now.
