Do you know the Oòduà (Yorùbá) heritage of the Oworos in Lokoja?

How many Oòduà (Yorùbá) youth under the age of 25, know about Oòduà (Yorùbá) heritage of the Oworos in Lokoja, Ogori in Kogi, or the Olukumis of Delta? How many Southwest youths know about the Oòduà (Yorùbá)s of Togo the Gas of Accra or the Idasha people of Benin republic?

How many Southwest youths know that they share the same ethnolinguistic and cultural heritage with the Itsekiris of Delta and Edo? We don’t teach them at home, they don’t teach them in schools and we must not talk about it on social media because we don’t want other Ethnicities who don’t give a damn about us to feel uncomfortable?

Do we want to destroy or throw away our own blood brothers and sisters because we want to make other people feel comfortable? Fulanis and Hausa don’t hide their solidarity across West Africa and the world but Oòduà (Yorùbá)s must not talk about the heritage of our people so that they don’t call you land grabbers.

The humble in Nigeria will eat dust and sand. That is why Baba Tinubu said “Emi lokan”. We are respecting people who don’t rate us? We are respecting people who want to cannibalize us territorially, culturally, and historically? Let me repeat it here, Oòduà (Yorùbá)s and Itsekiris have the same ethnic makeup but different nomenclature. I am a proud Oòduà (Yorùbá) man. Omoluabi runs in the family but not in the jungle.
