Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Igboho has called for the separation of Nigeria’s ethnic groups if the country cannot function as a united entity. In a video shared on January 9, 2025, Igboho expressed that corruption, insecurity, and economic challenges have led many Nigerians to no longer feel patriotic. He believes that if the nation continues to fail, the different ethnic groups should go their separate ways.
Igboho, speaking from an airport in the United Kingdom, emphasized that the Yoruba youth, who have gained international exposure, are eager to transform the Yoruba nation into a modern and prosperous society. He criticized Nigeria’s security situation, stating that even at the airport, there were no safety measures, which discouraged national pride. He further argued that if Nigeria cannot function as a unified country, the ethnic groups should go their separate ways. Igboho’s comments have sparked debate, with supporters backing his call for self-determination, while others criticize it as divisive.
