Nigeria is currently in a state of chaos. This has been caused largely to issues resulting from insecurity, banditry, and corruption.

These issues have led to calls by certain majority and minority to secede. The fight for secession was started by the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) in 2013 when the group was formed.

Now, some elements within the Yoruba ethnic group, one of the largest have also called to secede from Nigeria due to the government's inability to stop banditry in the region.

Their calls have been amplified by the recent attacks on farmers by Fulani bandits.

Their voices have gotten louder by the day. Below is a sneak peek into a proposed national anthem by the Yoruba nation or better still Oduduwa Nation.
