Yoruba Nation advocate Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Sunday Igboho, has once again called for self-determination, linking the growing demand for a Yoruba Nation to the poor governance and failing infrastructure in Nigeria.
In a recent interview referenced by Drivetvnews, Igboho expressed frustration over the persistent absence of basic amenities and the government’s inability to cater for its citizens.
“If our country were in a better condition, some of us wouldn’t be advocating for self-determination or seeking to separate. Self-determination is crucial because there’s no electricity, no water, no security—nothing in this country to be proud of,” he remarked.
He also highlighted the irony of Nigeria’s energy crisis, despite its abundant resources.
“If we get two hours of electricity, we’re already thanking God, yet Nigeria supplies electricity to other countries where they celebrate a decade of uninterrupted power. It’s absurd,” Igboho stated.
He outlined his vision of an ideal country, one where citizens enjoy their rights and have access to essential services such as steady electricity and clean water.
Igboho also stressed the need to preserve indigenous languages and cultural heritage.
“A true country is one where citizens are aware of their rights and enjoy proper social amenities like electricity and water. It’s also where people embrace their native languages and cultures. English isn’t our language; it’s borrowed. I am Yoruba. Yoruba is my language, my culture, my identity,” he concluded.
