Sunday Adeyemo, also referred to as Sunday Igboho, is a Yoruba nationalist who has spoken on the financial difficulties that Nigerians have been experiencing lately.
Protesters have stormed the streets in several sections of the country to voice their frustrations over the growing cost of living and other hardships. The demonstrators claimed that the purpose of the demonstration was to make the authorities aware of their predicament. They bemoaned their inability to purchase three square meals and urged the government to take action.
According to the report by Sahara Reporters, Igboho who recently returned to the country after about three years said that amidst the protests that have been going on, no Igbo has protested against the economic hardship so far.
Igboho said that the reason there is so much hunger in the land is because farmers can no longer go to farms because of the attacks from herdsmen. He said the Igbos are not complaining about the hardship because they chased herdsmen away from their farms, and now they can go to their farms freely. He questioned why the Yorubas cannot keep the herdsmen away from their farmlands too so that their parents can return to their farms.
He said, “Have you seen any Igbo complaining? They have sent all herdsmen out of their farms and they are farming, doing what they want with their lands. Why can’t Yorubas come together and also pursue them… so our parents can go back to their farmlands?”
