Sunday Igboho seeks eviction of Fulanis from Yorubaland, urges Yoruba to stop lamenting hunger under Tinubu
Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has admonished Yoruba elders to stop lamenting the widespread hardship and hunger under President Bola Tinubu.
The separatist issued the admonition while addressing his supporters in Oyo State on Friday.
He stated that the precarious and parlous state of the nation is not the doing of Tinubu but the immediate past government of Muhammadu Buhari
He said Buhari is responsible for the current hardship in the country, adding that Tinubu inherited a bad economy from the his predecessor.

The activist who spoke in Yoruba, said Nigerians from the South-West region must come together to free the region from armed Fulani herders.
He said, “Many people think Tinubu destroyed the government, Tinubu didn’t destroy the government. My pain with Yorubas is that while Buhari was in power, I was shouting that we should come together and liberate ourselves from this suffering”
Igboho enjoined Yoruba to emulate the Igbos who are not complaining about the hardship in the country and have found a solution to the Fulani problem in their domain.
“Buhari had nothing to offer us. My pain is that some Yoruba elders are now complaining, saying they want to hold protest that they are hungry. Have you seen any Igbo complaining? They have sent all Fulanis out of their lands and they are farming, doing what they want with their lands. Why can’t Yorubas come together and also pursue them from our fatherland, so our parents can go back to their farmlands?” he added

Why I broke down in tears – Saudi Arabia maid impregnated by boss narrates ordeal
Why I broke down in tears – Saudi Arabia maid impregnated by boss narrates ordeal
A Kenyan lady, Faith Wambui, who worked as a maid in Saudi Arabia, has come forward to share her traumatic ordeal of being impregnated by her Saudi Arabian boss.
Speaking exclusively to Tuko, the lady revealed the agonizing challenges she faced, including deprivation of food, sleep, and exploitation.
According to the lady, she embarked on a journey to Saudi Arabia with the assistance of her elder sister.
However, what awaited her there was far from the envisioned prospects. From the outset, she faced hostility from her employer, who harbored a deep-seated dislike towards her.
Despite the unbearable conditions, she found herself trapped between the harsh reality of her situation and the pressing needs of her family back home, compelling her to endure the hardships imposed upon her.
“He won’t give me enough food. Sometimes, I would go for three days without eating. I also did not used to get enough sleep. I really wanted to quit, but when I remembered the problems back home, I decided to endure the hardships in the house,” she said in a part
Adding to her torment, the lady revealed the treacherous actions of her boss’s brother, who cunningly manipulated her vulnerabilities.
He resorted to deceitful tactics, including hiding food from her and exploiting her desperation by offering monetary assistance.
“He would bring me some rice and soda. Sometimes, he would give me money, which I would later ask him to send to my family as my first three-month salary was going to my agent.” she added.
The lady sadly revealed that she was forced to have an affair with him, which led to her becoming pregnant.
