LOOMING OODUA SECCESIONISTS TRAGEDY: SOUTH WEST RULERS, GOVERNORS AND PEOPLE’S HONOUR AT STAKE By Prof Taofiq Adesina Azeez

Emporium Reporters

To describe the ongoing agitation for OODUA Republic as a tragic comment on the assumed Integrity, Intelligence and Enlightenment of the people of the region is for want of better words to describe the distasteful drama. It is unthinkable that a race reputed as the most educated in this contraption called Nigeria will choose miscreants to fight their cause, appoint an erudite Professor as Prime Minister before asking for the republic through rallies. While the miscreants can be forgiven for not knowing that a project such as this is a…

EXISTENTIAL THREATS: GOVERNORS TOO COMPROMISED TO ACT By Law Mefor

Emporium Reporters

The response of governors from southern Nigerian divide, especially the South East, to the existential threats confronting their states is pitiable to say the least.

Emporium Reporters

The most ludicrous thing I have heard and read this year is; Miyetti Allah asking to be part of Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn. This is the same outfit they railed against, insulted us over, abused our governors and threatened us. When insults, abuse and intimidation failed, they are trying coercion. No! Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn is a value system. Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn is an ideological change in crime prevention. Our land must be protected, our sacred places are not for cattle. Miyetti Allah should graze their cows in the vast Savannah of the North, there is plenty of…
