The answer seems obvious.
At least two good reasons exist: one is the issue concerns the integration, apparently the most fertile ground for terrorists recruiting the second generation of imigrant Fulani in the Southwest.
The objective of the Federal Government to end the self-determination demand of Yoruba is to cause the Yoruba crises, as they can't stop the Yoruba peaceful protest, because it is under international law.
The second plan would be for the federal government to cause crisis as the southern governors did not cooperate or have no authority to stop peaceful protest of the Yoruba's. Their plans is to move the Fulani youth from the north to the south-west to engage the Yoruba peaceful protesters which may lead to several people been killed and they would declare state of emergency in the southwest.
This is similar to what they did in the 1960s, then they used Akintola, during the Wetty Ee crisis. But now our Yoruba governors were not cooperating with the federal on these, for this obvious reason, for the past two months, Federal government agents have been exporting the Fulani youths in thousands with Trailers Lories to the west.
The Yoruba peaceful Protest Planning Committee should prepare on how to handle these imminent conflict with the Fulani as soon as possible because that is the only way the government can stop this peaceful Yoruba demand for their God-given rights, which are guaranteed by international law.
The second perspective is that, if the Yoruba People, overcome these obstacles, our final obstacle would be when the UN and the rest of the world recognize Yoruba Nation, at that moment they might declare war, because they already have their warriors all over Yorubaland (remember, we have them as our Okada riders, security men, and they were all in our villages), and the only thing left for them to do is to give them welpons.
That could be the start of the second Civil War.
All of this, however, can be prevented by preventing the inflow of Fulani youths to the West, as well as diligent surveillance among all Yoruba for intelligence gathering on Fulani movement in the forest and in urban areas.
Terrorism and Fulani integration are inextricably linked, according to most observers. Fulani Terrorist acts akin to those carried out by Al Qaeda in Europe or by European residents and people abroad are seen as the most severe form of Islam-related radicalisation, and therefore as a reasonable outcome.
There is a teleological approach that describes all forms of jihadism and violence associated with the Fulani demographic in the North as a pathway to terrorism in context.
This method is problematic not because it casts a cloud of mistrust and opprobrium over all Northerners, including decent Hausa people in general, but because it fails to comprehend the "roots of violence" and arbitrarily isolates "Northerners" violence from other levels of violence among Yoruba farmers and the Middle belts in general.
Under international law, the Yoruba approach should remain peaceful, and any provocation should be avoided at all costs.
"Epo nii moru... Oniyagi maba temi jee," says a Yoruba proverb.
The OPC and other Yoruba security organisations should make arrangements for Yoruba citizens security during all of the peaceful protest rallies throughout the Yoruba Kingdom.
Just my opinion
