It was reported that some youths were seen hoisting Ooduwa Republic flag at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, in Surulere, while removing the nigerian flag.
This can be related to recent happenings in the nation, especially in the South-West, where no one feel secure again. Over the weekend, two students from Olabisi Onabanjo University, Agricultural college were kidnapped, right in front of their hostels by unknown gunmen. The students who were identified as Adeyemo Precious and Oyefule Abiola were last seen in front of their hostel. Though, latest report believed that the girls have been rescued by the Ogun state government on Tuesday night.
Few months back, there was a clash between some Yoruba youths in Oyo state and Northerners living in that area, believing to have been a retaliation of troubles caused by armed Fulani Herdsmen. it will be noted that Sunday Igboho, a self-acclaimed Yoruba activist declared war on Fulani herdsmaen in the state.
Several attempts have been made by the Federal Government to, at least curb the impending civil war that may arise from his recent activities, but were met with resistance from him and his boys.
No one will fold arms and watch his father's farm being destroyed by outsiders and not act accordingly. This I believe can be said to justify Sunday Igboho's actions, but this situation can be traced back in history to the fight between the Afonja's and the Fulanis that helped him conquer his enemies, in the old Oyo empire.
The nation security can be said is at the lowest point right now, you hear of bandits kidnapping in the north, Boko-Haram in the north-east, Fulani herdemen in the South-west... Nowhere is actually secure anymore and you hear reports of the government negotiating with these criminals.
This could have prompted the Oodua People (Yoruba) thinking of secession, just like the easterners (Indigenous People of Biafra) are also clamoring for secession, even since the civil war.
