Yorubaland loses its culture and identity by allowing unregulated migration of people from Igboland to Yorubaland. The wave of 5 million people yearly comes from Igboland into Yorubaland. That definitely changes Yorubaland for the worse. Allowing the mass migration of the Igbo to Yorubaland in the name of One-Nigeria is shameful. It changes the fabric of Yoruba society, and unless we act very quickly to stop that, Yorubaland will never be great again. To allow millions of people into Yorubaland without regulation is very, very sad. We are losing our culture and identity. The unregulated movement of the Igbo in Yorubaland began over four decades ago when Aguiyi Ironsi suspended the regional government in 1966 and imposed the unitary system in the country. The Yoruba leadership that preceded us did a terrible job in terms of the control of the migration of people to Yorubaland. The Igbo in Yorubaland has not been hospitable. They are sticking to a fraudulent unitary system that takes money from Yorubaland and shared it with the Igbo and the Hausa and Fulani in a bid to keep the Yoruba nation and her people poor and miserable. We are cracking down on the fraudulent unitary system because the parasitic Igbo and the Hausa and Fulani have failed to treat the Yoruba nation fairly in terms of income distribution. For instance, the Nigerian federal government derives 90 percent of its revenues from seven major sources: the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC); the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS); the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS); the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA); the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN); the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA); and the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG). The Yoruba nation contributes 20% of the revenue of the NNPC; 90% of the revenue of the NCS; 80% of the revenue of the FIRS; 90% of the revenue of the NPA; 60% of the revenue of the CBN; 95% of the revenue of NIMASA; and an insignificant contribution to the revenue of NLNG. From all the levies paid to the Federal Government of Nigeria as revenue, the Yoruba nation pays 49% of the total revenue accruing to the Federal Government every month but receives about 8% of the monthly allocation from the Federal Government. The North, an area that contributes less than 5% of total federal government revenues, receives over 55% of the federal government's shared monthly allocation. It is likewise the same scenario with the Igbo nation. The Igbo nation contributes only 1.5% of all the levies paid to the Federal Government as revenue every month, but receives about 5% of the monthly allocation from the Federal Government. That is why the Igbo, in cooperation with the Hausa and the Fulani, refuses to accept an outright dissolution of Nigeria or a return to the regional government. The Igbo as well as the Hausa and Fulani are parasites living off the wealth and resources of the Yoruba people. But the Igbo is the largest beneficiary of the unitary presidential system in Nigeria. That is why they can never support the outright dissolution of Nigeria or a return to the regional system. Their arrogant call for Biafra that must include the Edo, Urhobo, Ijaw, Ogoni, Efik, Ibibio and other non-Igbo speaking people is a gimmick to keep Nigeria as one indivisible country. The Igbo knows that non-Igbo speaking people are not particularly interested in Biafra, but the Niger Delta Republic, hence their repulsive slogan of Biafra or death is deliberate plot for the Igbo to remain as a part of Nigeria under the fraudulent unitary system in order for them to continue to use the Yoruba's resources, including our ports, waterways and coming to live in Yorubaland unregulated without paying the appropriate economic rent.

It is shocking that the Igbo have always refused to support the political interests of the Yoruba people since 1959. Yet half of them live, work and study in Yorubaland. From Surulere to Badagry, every major suburb is dominated by the Igbo. From Coker-Aguda axis Agegunle on the left and Ajao-Isolo-Okota on the right, until Amuwo, Festac, satellite city, Ejigbo, Ikotun etc., are Igbo dominated. Cross to trade fair, and consider all the areas left and right between the Trade Fair and Alaba International, are dominated by the Igbo. The local government of Ojo, Ajangbadi, Iba Estate, Okokomaiko, Afromedia, Agbara Estate and all residential neighbourhoods to Badagry are dominated by the Igbo. These places are at least 1/3 of the state of Lagos, and the population is at least 75% Igbo. Then back to Ikeja, especially Omole Estate, Phase 1 and 2, Magodo, Oworonsoki, Lekki, Ajah etc., these areas have at least 50% to 60% Igbo residents. Yet, the Igbo as a collective continued to support the political interests of the Fulani to prevail over the Yoruba and all other nationalities in Nigeria as President of the country. Financial, fiscal or social crises in Igboland seem to fuel their movement to Yorubaland as Lagos is perceived as a safe haven with no barriers to entry. The Obafemi Awolowo development of Western region has made living in Yorubaland relatively good value. We stand out as tolerant, culturally sophisticated and uniquely situated for living, working and studying. However, the unregulated movements of Igbo people into Yorubaland have reduced the standard of living of Yoruba citizens and extended Igbo's criminality to our space. If Yoruba really does prove to be the most educated race in Nigeria and wants self-preservation as well as security of life and property of its citizens, residents and visitors, then suburban Lagos and other state capitals in Yorubaland will arrest and deport Igbo immigrants involved in armed robbery, kidnapping, vandalism, piracy, production and distribution of adulterated drugs, prostitution, importation of substandard and prohibited goods, organized crimes, street begging, street trading, human and child trafficking, and child labour. It is an insult to the young Yoruba to have the same opportunities with immigrants Igbo and other non-Yoruba in Yorubaland. A peaceful Yorubaland is now a means to undermine the interests and well-being of young Yoruba people. Under Nigeria's deficient unitary system, the Igbo transformed Yorubaland into a dumping ground for all sorts of things. They imported into Yorubaland used underwear, bras, panties and clothing. Yoruba people and residents have contacted debilitating diseases, wearing these clothes. The Igbo travelled to China and other countries, imported into Yorubaland substandard drugs. Many Yoruba and residents of Yorubaland are known to have died as a result of fake drugs introduced into Yorubaland by the Igbo. They also imported used spare parts into Yorubaland and are known to have damaged many vehicles within Yorubaland. There is no advantage proportionate to the presence of Igbo in Yorubaland compared to what they received in Yorubaland. They helped turn Yorubaland into a service economy in comparison with the manufacturing economy of the 1960s. The Yoruba people have no substantive political power under our imperfect unitary system to control their space, wealth, human and natural resources. As long as Nigeria remains a geographical location, political decisions in Yorubaland should aim to protect the welfare and interests of the Yoruba people before others. If Yorubaland is underdeveloped, Igbo will not move in masses on a daily basis. With everything they benefited from Yorubaland, they have continued to support the Fulani's political interests while showing hatred for every full blooded Yoruba political leaders from the time of Awolowo and Akintola, to Abiola and now Tinubu. Our generation is theirs' Waterloo.

Human hostility is not the narrative of a selected few. Since the fall of the grandparents of the human family, Adam and Eve, all humans have continued to participate in the reality of evil. Accordingly, the question is no longer whether evil will strike, but rather, when evil strikes, how should humans, particularly Christians, respond to it? This book offers a relevant and effective theology and ethics for addressing the issue of Christian response to violence in Nigeria and beyond. It situates the whole gamut of the reign of human hostility in its various manifestations: self-interest and greed for power, deception and social injustices, governmental official corruption, terrorism and so on. It encourages humans to take seriously both the fact of God creating humans good and the fall serving as the gateway of evil into the human race. It recognizes the complexity of human problems. Yet it offers possibility for just peacemaking. In spite of the horrific violence across the globe, humans are still able to do tremendous good. Thus the book recognizes the paradox of humanity: humans are capable of doing tremendous good and equally capable of doing tremendous evil.

Lifemaking offers a fresh frame for analyzing contemporary African politics and imagining its future. Rooted in the indigenous political philosophy of lifemaking of the Kalabari-Ijo people of the Niger Delta, this work is a counterpoint to the necropolitics that dominates African political practice. For practitioners and analysts for whom Africans and their polities are caught in the TINA (There Is No Alternative) syndrome, this book offers inspiration for an alternative to the current necropolitics. Because the book's thesis is an unreserved celebration of lifemaking, it identifies collective human flourishing as essential to politics.

Whilst there is existing literature on Yorubaland in the nineteenth century, it has not taken a global, comprehensive look at the causes, course and consequences of the wars. Nor has it considered the changes - peaceful or cataclysmic - after one hundred years of peace. With a view to filling this gap, a centenary conference of the 1886 Kirji/Ekiti Parapo Peace Treaty was held, with the prime objective of examining the socio-political and economic development of Yorubaland in the age of revolutionary wars. The premise is that whilst three kingdoms were destroyed, and forced migrations produced terrible suffering, nonetheless there were positive outcomes. New kingdoms and towns were founded - Abeokuta, Ibadan and New Oyo - and the end result was greater cultural cohesion of Yorubaland through the integration of the refugees. The four sections in the book group the papers from the conference into War and Peace in Yorubaland; the Generals and their War Tactics; External Involvement and the Search for Peace; and The Political and Cultural Consequences.

The name Nigeria was coined in Lokoja by Flora Shaw, the future wife of Baron Lugard, a British colonial administrator, while gazing out at the river Niger. So, British colonialism created Nigeria as a country, joining diverse peoples and regions in an artificial political entity along the Niger River. The territory known today as Nigeria is a very large country of multi-ethnic groups of about four hundred. The land mass is large enough to accommodate France, Belgium and Italy. The name Nigeria is derived from the River Niger which traverses the country from the North to the South. Nigeria is located on the coast of Western Africa. It has an area of 356,669 square miles (923,768 square km). At its greatest expanse, it measures about 1,200 kilometres (about 750 mi) from East to West and about 1,050 kilometres (about 650 mi) from North to South. It is bordered to the north by Niger, the east by Chad and Cameroon, the south by the Gulf of Guinea, and to the west by Benin. Niger River and the Benue, are its largest tributary, are the principal rivers in the country. The area that is now Nigeria was home to ethnically based kingdoms and tribal communities before it became a European colony. In spite of European contact that began in the 16th century, these kingdoms and communities maintains their autonomy until the 19th century. Federal Republic of Nigeria is a constitutional Federal Republic comprising 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja. The principal groups in the Northern part are Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, and Nupe. Other minority tribes also inhabits the Middle belt area, these include the Jukun, the Chamba and the Bata. In the region north of the upper Benue valley various ethnic groups such as Fali, Gabun, Gude, Gudu, Higi, Hona Mbula, Mumuye and Tika also inhabits the area. In the Southwest we have the Yoruba, another principal ethnic group and in the Southeast we have the Igbo people which form the third principal ethnic group. In the South-south we have the group of minorities such as Annang, Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Isoko Uhrobo and Ukwiani. The entire ethnic group in Nigeria is over 500, parts of these are listed in appropriate section of this book.
