Sunday Igboho Claims Nigerians Are No Longer Proud of Their Citizenship, Advocates for Separation
Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has asserted that many Nigerians are no longer proud to identify themselves as citizens of the country. In a video shared online on Thursday, Igboho, who was seen at an airport in the United Kingdom, expressed his dissatisfaction with the state of affairs in Nigeria, blaming the country’s problems on corruption, insecurity, and a poor economy.
According to Igboho, these issues have significantly contributed to the lack of patriotism and national pride among Nigerians. He further emphasized that if the country cannot function effectively as a unified nation, it would be better for various ethnic groups to go their separate ways.
Igboho, a prominent figure in the Yoruba Nation agitation, claimed that Yoruba youths—many of whom have gained valuable knowledge and experience from traveling abroad—are eager to return to Yorubaland and help transform it into a modern, prosperous society comparable to the nations in Europe.
In the video, Igboho criticized the security situation, noting, “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.”
He continued, “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, it is better we go our separate ways.”
He argued that Yoruba youths, having traveled across the globe and gained exposure to modern practices, are equipped with the knowledge necessary to rebuild and transform Yoruba Nation into a thriving, self-sufficient entity.
“Our 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,” Igboho concluded.
