(Olu Falae: ... Yoruba people will not concede one inch of its territory as a colony...)
Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe
OLU FALAE, a leading Yoruba public figure and one time regime secretary, is unmistakably candid in a press conference in Akure, west Nigeria (Vanguard, Lagos, 22 January 2018): “[T]here shall not be cattle colonies in any part of Yorubaland. It’s a fraud ... A colony is a political entity which someone said [they] want ... to create in the territory of another; that is a provocation; that is terrible for anybody to contemplate ... [A]s a leader of the [Yoruba], the Yoruba people will not concede one inch of its territory as a colony to another person.”
