Afenifere Condemns Ultimatum for Igbos to Leave South-West And Affirms Safety of Residents

Published

on


Afenifere, the prominent pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and political organization, has firmly denounced the recent demands by some Yoruba extremists for the expulsion of Igbo individuals from the South-West region of Nigeria.

The organization has reassured all Nigerians residing legally in any part of Yoruba land that their safety and security are guaranteed, and they should not fear any forced relocation or eviction.

This response came in reaction to a controversial social media post by an obscure handle known as ‘LagosPedia,’ which has been spreading a viral message.

The post, which caused considerable anxiety across Lagos and other parts of the southwest, issued a one-month ultimatum for Igbo residents and business owners to vacate the region.

It further advocated for Yorubas living in the South-East to return to their ancestral homes.

The message, accompanied by the hashtag #Igbomustgo, suggested that a large-scale protest would be organized from August 20th to August 30th, demanding the removal of Igbo people from all South-West states and the relocation of their businesses.

Afenifere has strongly rejected these inflammatory and divisive calls, asserting that the motives behind such campaigns are to create discord between the Igbo and Yoruba communities.

The organization emphasized that there are no plans or intentions to expel any group of people who are lawfully engaged in their activities within the South-West.

Instead, Afenifere clarified that the only individuals being targeted are the unscrupulous herders who have been disrupting the lives of local farmers and rural women.

Therefore, Afenifere’s message to the Igbo community residing in Lagos and the broader South-West region is one of solidarity and reassurance, affirming that they should not be concerned about any threats of expulsion.

Tinubu: The Financial Wizard Set to Transform Nigeria — Gbenga Adeyinka’s Prediction

Published

on


Nigerian comedian Gbenga Adeyinka recently described President Bola Tinubu as a “financial wizard,” urging the nation to give him two more years to witness a significant transformation. Adeyinka’s confidence stems from Tinubu’s track record as the former governor of Lagos State, where he spearheaded an economic revolution that made the city a financial hub.

Tinubu’s administration has been marked by bold economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies and a focus on revamping Nigeria’s financial systems. While critics remain skeptical, Adeyinka believes Tinubu’s strategic mindset and financial acumen will ultimately reshape the country’s economic landscape, driving growth and stability.

As Nigeria navigates these challenging times, the question remains: will Tinubu’s visionary leadership live up to this praise, and is two more years all it takes to see the change Adeyinka envisions? Only time will tell.
