This is a call to all the Yoruba youths in Lagos state.
It is true that some of you are learned, exposed, bold and courageous when it comes to matters that threaten your existence but you do not take your time to prevent that thing that can threaten your existence.
PREVENTION THEY SAY, IS BETTER THAN CURE. One fault I found out in some of you is that, you are easily swayed once the people who want to use you give you a reason why you should attack your brothers. You will not check whether the reason is genuine or not. You believe in people from other areas more that your own brothers.
During ENDSARS chaos, your igbo brothers set you against your own people that your people were responsible for the killings of people at Toll gate. You did not check if those people they accused have the power to issue such order or not. People from other regions were sponsored to Lagos to come and destroy our legacies and you fell cheaply to their propaganda. Even when you heard Nnamdi Kalu on the social media giving orders from his hide out that Tinubu should be traced and killed and his properties destroyed, you did not see the invisible hands. They told you that Sanwo-olu called the soldiers to come and kill his youths, it did not occur to you that he hasn’t got such powers, and yet we say you are wise and learned. It is the same ENDSARS issue that Obi used to sway you to his side and you followed and voted for him enmasse like MUMU. I am very sorry for you all. God loves all of you that Obi did not win that elections, you would have suffered for generations.
Elections are coming on Saturday 18th March, 2023 and Igbo people , who have been claiming ownership of Lagos State, have fielded a candidate in Labour Party and they have been making overtures to you Yoruba youths, if you fall for their tricks again, let me warn you that you would be the one to suffer it more.
By the time you don’t get admission into your institutions again and youths from Igboland will be having free day, you will realize that God has no tribal marks. That is just one of the things you may suffer. There are many more. Zik did it in those by putting Igbo men as vice Chancellors in University of Ibadan and University of Lagos because he had the opportunity. Many of the things you enjoy as youths in Lagos state will be transferred to youths from other states and you can not go to their own place and enjoy the same thing.
That is the time you will gather yourselves to protest, because that is what you know how to do best, chanting, SOLIDARITY FOR EVER etc.
It is better to put your fowl in the cage now before it goes far. BI A BA NJA BI KI A KU KO Come Saturday, 18th March, 2023 come out in your large numbers and make sure you take what belongs to you before you will become second class citizens in your own state.
Some of you claimed that you hate politicians, the Igbo man they are asking you to vote for, what is he, a clergyman? E R’ORI YIN DAADA
If you allow outsiders to take over your fatherland, and you think you can protest to get it back, they will use government might to suppress you. OLOMO L’ ONLE TI KII BA
As Yoruba Youths, if you have any grudge against your fathers and mothers in politics, keep that aside for now and let us together protect what belongs to all of us. After the battle is fought and won, let us come back and address the issues.
OODUA A GBE WA O.
