Fulani Domination: Oduduwa Nation Is Imperative! By Bayo Oluwasanmi

Elwin Mandowa,
Few Yoruba politicians who are profiteers of Fulani minority rule still believe in one Nigeria. These few elites with the collaboration and cooperation of traitors among Yorubas make Fulani domination easy and possible. Majority of Yoruba people are in a hurry to leave Nigeria for Oduduwa Nation. Nigeria is not practicing democracy but minoritarianism. Political Science defines minoritarianism as a… Read More

The late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo once described journalists as the floatsam and jetsam of society when he was asked about his experience as a journalist with The Nigerian Worker long before his famous 1944 sojourn to the UK to study law.

Elwin Mandowa,
SUNDAY, September 19, 2021 like past Sundays in the Canary Islands promised to be a quiet, restful day. It was also a day of Christian worship. But beneath the earth of La Palma on the islands, rock had been pulverised and turned into molten.
