The 40th birthday was superbly twinned with a lecture titled “The Yoruba Race: Forging a Common Front”. The assemblage on the high table included a robust mix of Ambassador Segun Olusola, Professor Ibidapo Obe, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, guest speaker, Mohammed Fawehinmi, Dare Babarinsa, and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the people’s Oranmiyan. The guest speaker, Akogun Tola Adeniyi could not hide his passionate embrace of Otunba Gani Adams and his rebellious cause.
Akogun as a cultural rejuvenator, fixer and observer, observed: “our collective failure are in four core areas: first our dwindling, almost vanishing political relevance, our bastardization, vulgarization, subjugation and outright liquidation of our cherished cultural values, our loss of sense of history of who we really are, as well as the loss of our pride of place in the comity of nation.
Akintoye said: “Some former members, such as Armenia, East Timor, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia and Palau have gained full independence and have joined the United Nations, UN, as full members. The peoples represented within the UNPO membership are all united by one shared condition: they are denied their equitable level of representation and voice in the institutions of the countries to which they currently belong and in international governance.
He is the Yoruba nation’s independent-obsessed global diplomat! He understands the fierce urgency of now or never! However, beyond the recent glad cry of triumphalism as 45th member of UNPO, Yoruba race should come under an urgent hard talk on collective unity.
