Says anyone saying Nigeria better together wants Yoruba to perish A foremost Yoruba leader, Prof. Banji Akintoye, has said that anyone who says Nigeria is better together wants the Yoruba people to perish. Akintoye said people who did not understand fully the enormity of the danger that faced the Yoruba nation and those who want to benefit from Nigeria at all costs and detriment of their people, are those against self-determination but instead pushing for restructuring. Akintoye, who is also the chairman of the Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS), stated this during an interview with The Guardian in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
