We Yorubas will make our country a great nation in the world in less than five years by God’s power. This is your duty. Everybody, be determined the day is about to dawn, and you should be ready

Renowned historian and leader of the Yoruba Self-Determination Movement (YSDM), Professor Banji Akintoye, has declared that the Yoruba Nation will become a great force in the world within five years if Yoruba people across the globe unite and work together.

Akintoye made this known on Sunday while addressing members of the movement.

He called for the liberation of Yorubaland from what he described as the “destructive patterns” of the Nigerian federation.

He warned that Nigeria’s political and cultural decay must not be allowed to take root in Yorubaland.

The elder statesman said: “We Yorubas will make our country a great nation in the world in less than five years by God’s power. This is your duty. Everybody, be determined the day is about to dawn, and you should be ready.”

Akintoye urged Yoruba youths abroad to return home and contribute to building a free and culturally distinct nation.

“You just need to come home quickly to free and make the country better so that they will not turn it into what Nigeria is. No Nigerian culture should be allowed into our country—it is different.”

Despite being 89 years old, the scholar assured his supporters that he remains fully committed to the Yoruba Nation project.

“I, your father, am ready. Truly, I am old, but I am ready; I will be solidly behind you in God’s power.”

He praised Yoruba people in the diaspora for their dedication and expressed hope that freedom is near.
