Mr. Sunday Adeyemo, who is also known as Sunday Igboho, has once again harped on the establishment of Yoruba Nation. He has persistently said that the country should divide notably along the ethnic lines.
Igboho was highly vocal of his ambition to have a country exclusively for the Yoruba people during the regime of Muhammadu Buhari. He escaped arrest when the personnel of the Department of State Services (DSS) came to his house in Ibadan. He went on to be in Benin Republic where he spent some time behind the bar.
Sunday Igboho is also worried about the level of development in Nigeria insisting that self determination would bring social and economic development of Yoruba people.
In an interview he said that his people are not proud of Nigeria.
“If our country is good, some of us will not be fighting for self-determination and saying we want to break out. Self-determination means a lot because there is no light, no water, no security—nothing tangible in our country to be proud of,” he said.
Highlighting the plight of Nigerians, Igboho noted the irony of the country’s energy crisis despite its vast resources.
“If we have light for two hours, we will be thanking God, while Nigeria is selling light to other countries, and those countries are celebrating ten years of uninterrupted power. It doesn’t make sense at all.
“The meaning of a country is for its citizens to know their rights, coupled with adequate social amenities such as light, water, and many more. A country is also a place where citizens speak their indigenous languages. English is not our language; we borrowed it. I am a Yoruba man. Yoruba is my language, my culture, and everything,” he added.
