A great man! A real leader! A warrior! A fighter! I am proud of Sunday. Any day, any time!
TRANSLATION:

"Why are we being slaves in our fathers' land,why are we being enslaved in our own land? The people that call themselves Senators& leaders will be going in traffic & see 4 & 5 year olds selling popcorn& puff-puff & they will buy & eat, have you seen that they..1/
..are not worthy to be called leaders, therefore we reject them as leaders. The Yorubas that are everywhere are larger than most countries, therefore we call on the global community & United Nations to come & separate us, we are no longer interested in being part of Nigeria..2/
..before this becomes war, they need to intervene, because we want to go. As it stands now, we are no longer under Nigeria. If they don't intervene, it will go beyond control. We have gone beyond the point where we keep quiet, we are no longer scared to voice out. 3/
..We are not safe anywhere, we can't sleep in peace, we can't travel in peace, what have we done? Are we slaves? We don't do wrong by existing, we only chose wrong leaders and we are saying enough of enough! It's tinker in Lagos, apapa, the directors are Fulani men. 4/
..The two ports we have,the controllers are Fulanis we don't want them anymore! Seme boarders we don't want Fulanis there anymore!When Baba finish talking now,we the Yorubas here will have a crucial meeting,we are going to open the borders,let's start allowing goods to enter! 5/
..The borders that NIGERIAN Government closed, we are opening it all, we are no longer interested in being part of Nigeria! Whatever you want to do to us, we are ready! I'm talking to Yoruba indigenes! You can stand aside & say there is no unity among us, but touch a single..6/
..Yoruba man, you will see that we are united. All our Kings are solidly behind us, any of them that want to deny is should make a press conference, let's see. He won't see the light of the next day! My advice to the Yorubas in the North is to find your way back home. 7/
..Start coming home, it is time! We have suffered enough, let's not fight among each other, let's Unite for a common cause, it is time to come home. That's all I have to say".

- Sunday Igboho, Ibadan, 17th March, 2021.

I will say this once for all to hear.

Chief Sunday Adeyemo (AKA Sunday Igboho) is by far the most popular and powerful man in South Western Nigeria today. He has inspired millions and restored the honor and self-respect of the Yoruba nation. 1/
...He has also proved to the doubting Thomas' that the sons of Oduduwa are not cowards. His views are simple and clear and he is entitled to them. He does not believe in Nigeria but in Oduduwa Republic and that is his right. We may not all agree with those views but we will..2/
..defend his right to hold them. We may not all accept his methods but, as long as he operates within the law, we have no right to criminalise, demonise, undermine or stop him. He is not a terrorist,a criminal or a murderer. He is a law-abiding Nigerian citizen & businessman..3/

In 1989, when IBB was in power, the founder of the Izala Muslim sect, Sheik Abubakar Gumi, said it would only be over his dead body that another Christian would rule Nigeria. He died 3 years later & one year after that a Christian called Ernest Shonekan became Head of State. 1/
..In 2021 his son, Sheik Ahmed Gumi, told Fulani terrorists, who he claims are fighting an "ethnic war" because they have been neglected by Govt.& who he believes ought to be forgiven, compensated & rehabilitated for their crimes against humanity)that Muslim soldiers are not..2/
...the ones that are killing them but rather the Christian ones.He also told them to stop kidnapping Muslims as it causes them to loose sympathy amongst the Muslim population.His father's comments were bad enough but Sheik Ahmed's comments are worse: they are irresponsible...3/

"We must choose our battles wisely & know who our real enemies are. I have disagreed with my friend & brother Gov. Bala Mohammed on several occassions over the years & I do not share his views on a number of issues but to describe him as a terrorist is uncharitable & absurd.1/
..This is a man who stands up for Southerners Middle Belters and Christians as much as he stands up for Northern Muslims. It is fair to say that had it not been for his efforts President Goodluck Jonathan may not have become President after President Yaradua died. 2/
..His role in the Senate at that time in ensuring that the then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan was declared Acting President was exemplary & inspiring. Bala may sometimes say things that many in the South disagree with but his spirit is clean & his mind is pure. 3/

I clearly & categorically condem the violence that we witnessed in the Capitol building in Washington yesterday during the meeting of the Electors. I believe that the election was rigged& Trump was robbed but violence in any shape or form has no place in a democratic setting.1/
..All matters concerning the American Presidency ought to be resolved in a peaceful manner & I am glad that President Donald Trump had the presence of mind to tell the protesters to disperse and go home. As much as I love @realDonaldTrump and believe that he was cheated out..2/
..of the election I will not support any action from his supporters that would disturb the peace, jeopardise life & property or lead to a civil war in America. Those of us that love & believe in him fought a good fight & stood firm, regardless of the odds& the insults, right..3/

It is after midnight Nigerian time & we have just slipped into the 6th day of Jan. 2021. Today is the "D-day" for America & the rest of the world& whatever happens later today will shape the collective fortunes of not just America but also humanity into the foreseeable future.1/
..It is the day in which the destiny of America and the entire world will be determined. It is the day every Trumper has been waiting for for the last few weeks and ever since the sham and 'big steal' of the November 3rd presidential election when Joe Biden was rigged in by...2/
..the Deep state, the proponents of the New World Order, Big Tech, the Fake News Media and the agents of the Illuminati. It is the day when the American Congress and Senate meet jointly with the 'Electors' of each state for a certification of the presidential election. 3/

Glad that Buhari's friend @JustinWelby, the Archbishop of Canterbury,found the decency &courage to express outrage about the #LekkitollgateMassacre.For the last 5 years thousands of innocent civilians were slaughtered under his friend's watch &he said NOTHING so what changed?1/4
..Why did he refuse speak out when others were being slaughtered?Why did he turn a blind eye to the atrocities & barbaric crimes that were being committed? Clearly he is part of the problem? When you encourage & support a tyrant it means that you are an accomplice to tyranny.2/5
..By his constant fawning &grovelling before Buhari & his unyielding love, friendship & support for him,was he not complicit in the ethnic cleansing, genocide & crimes against humanity that the President & his supporters unleashed on the Nigerian people over the last 5 years?3/5
