PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF OUR LEGAL RIGHT TO EXIT NIGERIA AS A NATION AND A FINAL WARNING TO THE NIGERIA GOVERNMENT TO AVERT ARTICLE 27 OF THE VIENNA CONVENTION AT THIS STAGE

TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY AND SOVEREIGNTY OF OUR NATION

This is an open and important public notification to you, as the principal legal custodians of Nigeria’s judicial framework, for appropriate interpretation of international and territorial laws to the Nigeria Government under whose jurisdiction you are serving.

We, the Indigenous People of the Yoruba, with a population of over 70 million citizens, under the leadership of our First President, His Excellency President Mobolaji Olawale Akinola Omokore, and the Board of Security Councils, wish to officially inform you that:

1.

The United Nations is aware of the lawful declaration of our President on 12 April 2024, and this was done in accordance with the Montevideo Convention of 1933 for all nations with defined territory, a functioning government, a standard population criterion, and sufficient capacity to enter diplomatic relations with other states for recognition by the UN Security Council and the international community.

2.

Please note that our right to self-determination cannot be compromised as a nation with the right to sovereignty under the African Charter, to which Nigeria, whom you serve, is a signatory, despite the unrenewed amalgamation since 2014.

3.

A country’s national laws cannot legally supersede its international obligations under the UN Charter, and a nation cannot use its domestic laws to justify failure to adhere to treaty obligations. Hence, you are hereby obliged to officially interpret the following international laws to your controllers and former governors as a matter of urgency.

4.

The unlawful threat and continuous illegal use of force against our people within our sovereign land is a breach of United Nations Charter Article 2(4), which prohibits the threat or use of force against territorial integrity. We will no longer condone these illegal acts within our territorial lands.

5.

Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence, as determined by the International Court of Justice during the 2010 Advisory Opinion, viewed acts of breakaway as legal depending on geopolitics and extensive international recognition rather than specific international law.

6.

Under the United Nations Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Countries and Peoples, non-self-governing territories have an absolute right to self-determination, which thus indicates our absolute right to self-determination as the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba.

7.

All matters relating to Nigeria must now strictly uphold the Principle of Uti Possidetis (As You Possess). This is very relevant for Nigeria to immediately leave our territorial borders inherited at the time of the declaration of our independence on 12 April 2024, and this should be considered legally sacred.

8.

By virtue of Article 103 of the United Nations Charter, which explicitly states that if a country’s obligations conflict with any international agreement, the United Nations Charter must prevail, including UN binding decisions under Article 25.

9.

Nigeria must also be aware of state responsibility under the UN Charter, whereby any breach of the Charter constitutes an internationally wrongful act which can lead to lawful countermeasures by other nations, including penalties such as economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, or authorised military action against Nigeria or any staff acting as representatives of the Nigeria Government and all those concerned in unlawful acts.

10.

Nigeria’s previous actions of threats, killings, and arrests of Indigenous People of the Yoruba within our territorial lands constitute acts of aggression that breach the peace of our nation under Article 39 of the UN Charter. These acts will no longer be condoned. Hence, we, the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba, will henceforth defend our borders according to Article 51, and subsequently, authorised sanctions must be activated to deploy UN military intervention in the Nigerian state.

11.

All indigenous and member states are ipso facto (automatically) parties to the statute for access to the International Court of Justice, and we, the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba, are now a party to all international justice systems concerning our rights as a peaceful nation.

12.

All Nigeria Police and other military parastatals must now comply with all the above UN Charter provisions and peacefully move to Nigeria territory so as to allow the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba to peacefully reclaim our territorial lands as soon as possible.

NOTE:

This message further serves to inform the Indigenous People of the Yoruba of their legal right to sovereignty and territorial borders without any hindrance or military enforcement by the Nigeria Government.

Regards,

Secretary General
Democratic Republic of the Yoruba

HENCEFORTH:

All Indigenous People of the Yoruba (Major Stakeholders) must show this notification to any Nigeria Government official seen within our sovereign lands.
