The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has cautioned the factional leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa, against plans to stage a sit-at-home protest in Lagos State.

Reports had quoted Ekpa as hinting in a tweet on Wednesday of plans by IPOB to replicate the protest in Lagos.

However, Aare Gani Adams in an interview with The Tribune said such an attempt will not be condoled noting that the South West region is not Biafra Republic.

He also cautioned the Finland-based IPOB leader to desist from repeating the mistake that led to the Civil War and drop the move which he described as counterproductive.

He said: “I can’t go to the South East now and say I want to decide for the people of that region. So, it is not possible to import the South-East agenda into Yorubaland. It would be counterproductive. We advise him (Ekpa) to drop that idea.

“He should not try that. The South West is not Biafra Republic. Any attempt to impose the Biafra Republic agenda will be resisted. He should desist from repeating the mistake of the 1970s. He should be very, very careful.

“They are entitled to their opinion, but South West is not their Biafran region. He should be very, very careful.

“He should not come and impose his agenda on the South West. It is uncalled for, it is unwarranted. Although I don’t know him and I have not spoken to him, he should not bring unnecessary tension to Yorubaland. We will not accept that.”

We hear una o.

God forbid

Cowards die many times before their death, cowardice and timidity runs in the veins of an average Yoruba man. Why is that Simon Ekpa has not tried sit at home in any S/S state? because he knows the consequence of such an action, but every tribe is making a mockery of Yorubas, because they are weak and spineless. Ekpa is a smart guy, he is only using the proposed sit at home in lagos to test the water, the real agenda is to continue from the destruction they unleashed on lagos in October 2020 under the guise of Endsars. Dis people too mumu

It be like Gani Adams self dey idle.

Ignore that nonentity Ekpa

He didn't mean it

Simon was speaking to a people of a tribe resident in the southwest. How does it affect Mr Ex-criminal?

Ibos living in Lagos should please obey Simon Ekpa. Infact they should bring UGM too.

Sebi their Eze ndigbo that threatened Lagos with IPOB is still cooling off in a jail.

I Gani Adams on this. He shouldn't worry about the rabble ro called Simon Ekpa. Igbos in Lagos are law abiding people and will go about their business.

Nevertheless, he didn't say anything concerning the Issere festival being cancelled at Ilorin. I expected him to say something about it as a traditional title holder he is. Apart from Professor Wole Soyinka, no other notable Yoruba personality has gotten the balls to criticize the Emir of Ilorin.

Why is that?

Ilorin is not part of the SW region. Illorin is an emirate.

arsenal33:
What is Ekpa's obsession with Lagos?

ibos are generally obsessed with the SW region. To them, Lagos is London, while Ibadan is Manchester

I Gani Adams on this. He shouldn't worry about the rabble ro called Simon Ekpa. Igbos in Lagos are law abiding people and will go about their business.

Nevertheless, he didn't say anything concerning the Issese festival being cancelled at Ilorin. I expected him to say something about it as a traditional title holder he is. Apart from Professor Wole Soyinka, no other notable Yoruba personality has gotten the balls to criticize the Emir of Ilorin.

Why is that?

Lagos was once the capital city of Nigeria, Lagos is a no-man’s land. Get that into your cracked skull old man

War

Make una stop catching cruise with an efulefu called Ekpa whom Igbos are already planning how to deal with him ig not that Finland refused to cooperate by giving him sanctuary and focus on saving Ilorin where Yoruba traditional festivals have been banned by Fulani jihadists who invaded the city

People should stop replying Simon and his empty threat.... All these replies are making him popular and feeding his ego.

There's nothing APC loves more than dividing this country for their own personal gain. Nigerians don't understand that the APC are the kings of propaganda! Nobody has ever said anything about a sit at home protest in anywhere outside SE, but this news was brought here to further widen the crack in nigerias democracy.

We igbos are fast becoming a laughing stock cos of our arrogance and pride nature. Always playing politics of bitterness.
South East is not South West. That Yorubas allow us to operate freely should not be taken for granted.

001Lagos:
Where was gani Adams when Fulani people conquered Ilorin kwara

Mtchew

But seriously, I think it's about time that Simon ekpa is killed . He's a terrorist and should be taken out .

Ilorin is not a Yorubaland. Know this and know peace !!!

Both Simon Ekpa and Gani Adams are attention seekers that should be not taking serious as regards to sit at home in Lagos.

We all know it is absolutely impossible.

Quite expected.
It makes no sense for someone in Finland to give directive that can paralyze the economic activities in Nigeria.

Sooner or later, the effects of the sit at home menace will be experienced nationwide if not curbed in time.

Gani Adams, why give attention to a nitwit??!

This is disappointing that an Elder like Gani will be seeking popularity with a fool like Simon Ekpa!

They can't even carry out Sit-At-Home Protest in Igbo-speaking parts of Delta, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, or anywhere beyond the landlocked Southeast!

The protest is not even effective or meaningful in the Southeast for starters!

What is Ekpa's obsession with Lagos?

Are you certain that Gani Adams said all this?

How can Simon Ekpa enforce it?

I don't believe Gani Adams stooped this low. Haba!

this one is looking for attention

Igbos do not align with Simon Ekpe or whatever the Monkey's name is...
He is a terrorist as long as the South East is concerned.
In the beginning of all these he rode on the sentiments of the South Eastern people agitation for seclusion. But has steered off the path and became a terrorist.
People in the South East are not sitting at home because they align with his thoughts but because he has employed hoodlums from all over the country to kill, terrorize and enforce his agenda.

I dont know why Gani or whatever his name is, is making it an Igbo affair, he should stop being tribalistic and channel his vulgarism to the fugitive Ekpe, his cohorts and sponsors.

The IPOB retards know better not to fvck with us.

lovely....if I were ekpa I'll do sit at home in KATSINS too

Ekpa is working for Fulani
