Dear Patriot, Some very concerned individuals and self determination organisations have been having intense meetings here in Yorubaland and elsewhere abroad, and have come to certain conclusions: 1. Yoruba do not at present have any credible leadership ready to take the bull by the horns, challenge our detractors and provide direction at this trying period. 2. We need to speak up strongly now, not only in the social media, but on electronic and print media, to challenge our detractors, encourage and en-bolden our people and provide the badly missing leadership Yoruba lacks today. 3. We are coordinating with many other organisations at home and abroad to provide this platform. You will be hearing more from us soon. 4. In the meantime, Committees have been set up to coordinate locally and internationally on various areas, viz: Committee/Grouping Protem Coordinator 1. Strategic (Igbaradi Eekeji); George Akinola (MORE) 2. Legal; Barrister Olaiya (ATAYESE) 3. International Operations; Barr Adeola Adepoju (ARG-London) 4. Traditional (Obas and Chiefs, Elders) Council; Erelu Ayorinde (Former Mayor of Birmingham, UK) /Barrister Olaiya(Baale of Makoko) 5. Tiwa n Tiwa, etc; Sangodiran Ijitimehin (Agbekoya) 6. Science and Technology; Leye Akinmodiro (MORE) 7. Information and Communication Technology (ICT); Olawale Igi-Iwe (Finland) 8. Social Media Activities Coordination; Adeyinka Grandson (London) 9.

Mobilisation and Expansion; Adigun Makanjuola (Lagos) Each committee grouping under a particular coordinator may expand its membership to any number and as wide afield as volunteers pour in from all over the globe, the criteria being that the aspiring member is a true born Yoruba person with meaningful contributions to make to help resolve the great dilemma of getting the Yoruba race out of Nigeria to establish a nation that will be the pride of the black race and the envy of humanity. Meetings (physical and online) are to hold at the discretion of the committee grouping, but there must be twice- monthly submissions on recommendations, suggestions and research findings of the group which must have the potential of creating a significant impact on the struggle. We are not staging a cosmetic show, please. 5. We shall commence flags and other totem distribution to notable Yoruba public figures and the masses to immediately create awareness and drive enrolment momentum. The flags and brooches as finished will be posted on line soonest for people to start patronising. 6. We shall launch an online financial contribution drive campaign using the #Believe In Oduduwa Republic hatch tag to enhance intense patronage. Your suggestions in this regard are welcome.
