What do you think about Adeyinka grandson latest interview? He raised some vital issues I read his Punch interview. IMO, he espouses extremist yet thought-provoking views. I guess every ethnicity will have its own Grandson-type individuals. A lot of our people are already aware of the problems he talked about, but there's no consensus on the way forward. How do we address these issues? Our politicians across the political divide obviously don't see the need for a confrontational approach against the hausa-fulani dominated establishment in rectifying the problems/issues he raised. I think that generally, our folks are evidently just not that motivated (for various reasons) to see the status quo changed, at least for now. Consequently, he's like a 'one-man army' coz I don't see most Yorubas supporting his methods. But at the same time I also don't see how anyone can gag him, nor why he should be gagged in a Nigeria where every other tribe is dishing out 'ultimatums' like akara. The reality of the social media age we live in makes it almost impossible to gag individuals and groups like Kanu, Grandson, the Arewa Youths, the Niger Delta militants, Boko Haram, etc, from expressing themselves, irrespective of their extremist tendencies.

The guy seems more knowledgeable and intelligent than Nnamdi Kanu even though they are both psychos. Honestly our youths needs wake-up

Folks, y'all need to watch this. He was sooo on point. Sorry to say, but the question that interviewer asked at the end was really stupid! Is she trying to say that people above a certain age forfeit their right to have an opinion? What is this curious Nigerian obsession with "youths" (most of whom are far from young) anyway?

My people, e ku ijo meta. I think a number of times some of you my Ogas here posted thoughts about enlightening/awakening Yoruba people to the idea of being pro-Yoruba in the regionalism or independent Yoruba nation sense. Going by what I saw today, building a strong regional bloc not to mention having an independent Yoruba state may be very difficult because it appears many of our sisters & brothers are blind to the depth of advantages that accrue to us or they just love 'One Nigeria' more than the parasitic almajiri north that needs Naija to keep thriving. In case any or all of you my egbons didn't see this thread on FB, please look it up and slim through the comments real quick.

I read so many comments there and I was shocked. I also noticed the Yorubas peddling "One Nigeria" on that Facebook page were mostly Muslims. Is it that our people are not ethnic conscious? Religion na big problem

I saw their names ma 😀😀 I'm not saying all, but most I'm one person that doesn't want to believe that "Yoruba Muslim" nonsense but we can't rule out the fact that some of our people are not ethnic conscious.. Including christians and Muslims We have some christians that have abandoned their ancestral names with historical meanings for a "Christian like name"

Religion na big problem Egbon mi, it breaks the heart to see how Yoruba folks are one Nigeria proponents and failing to see how the Nigerian project has short-changed us has a people for decades. I fear a regional system or Yoruba state may fail or never come into fruition considering how lopsided the proportions are -- in favour of pro-Nigeria Yaribas. I agree, too many are not conscious and also, too many have allowed religion <Islam & Christianity> blind them to the richness of their own culture and how it can contribute towards creating a Yoruba oriented system. At least I think awon Baba Awo's set, despite being schooled abroad, were in tune with Yoruba culture and that influenced the socio political drive for the people oriented government of that day.
