Sunday Igboho, Yoruba Nation agitator, whose real name is Sunday Adeyemo, has said many Nigerians are no longer proud to identify themselves as citizens of the West African nation.
In a viral video seen on social media, Igboho, who was spotted 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.
The separatist also stated that various ethnic nationalities should be allowed to go their separate ways if the country cannot function as a unified country.
Igboho said Yoruba youths, who have gained valuable knowledge and experience from traveling worldwide, are eager to transform the Yoruba nation into a modern, prosperous society similar to that of Europe.
He 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, we should go our separate ways.
“Our (Yoruba) youths will transform the Yoruba nation. Most of them have traveled 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.”
