is it truly an island?

They actually tried but the local quickly dazed them with Voodoo syndrome. They got them blind and confused for a very long time. Anyway, Ipokia is an Island in Ogun State, it's known as fishing Island because fishermen does their fishing and most always have their rest at the island before lurching out to fishing at dawn.

This is really a plus for the good people of Ogun State....but will they be ed to Niger Delta or Form their own Wild wide West? Na question I dey ask o... 😂

My issue is not the island. The issue is that the FG will not commence any drilling anytime soon. He knows this, yet he lies.

Politicians are the same, you can only have less evil

God please give Yoruba land more crude oil in their core Yoruba states so that they can become confident enough to fully the peaceful division of Nigeria because it is their insatiable craven for free crude oil wealth in Niger Delta that have made them so scared and jittery of pursuing their Odudua Nation where they can build their own Yoruba nation as they desire

The SW is super blessed.
