THE REVOLUTION

It begins with you!

The Horuba revolution is not a call to war, nor does it require violence. Yet we must be vigilant, for the powers that rule this world may once again declare war upon us, but this would not be new. They have done so before.

A silent war was waged against us in 1215 with the signing of the Magna Carta, a treaty that marked the rise of systems designed to enslave and suppress indigenous nations. Another blow came in 1648, when global empires moved to dismantle our kingdoms and monopolize our trade routes. After centuries of resistance, the final act of conquest came in 1918, when our sacred nation was annexed into the colonial experiment now called Nigeria. Our people were scattered across artificial borders and divided among foreign entities.

Yet, through it all, we have endured. We, the Horuba, have sustained an ancient and universal nation for thousands of years, and we are still here.

Now is the time to recognize the moment we are in. We must approach our revolution with wisdom, patience, and clarity. This is a spiritual and cultural awakening, not a rebellion of arms. Our adversaries today are not unlike those of the past, but they have grown more cunning, more embedded within, feeding off our distractions and lack of unity. Still, we must not falter. We must not forget who we are. We are the descendants of light, the keepers of sound, the sacred head culture of this world.

We are Horuba! But to be Horuba is not merely by birth, it is a conscious embodiment. It is to fully understand the depth of our identity and to recognize the sacredness of what we are here to protect.

This is our time. Let us rise, not in violence, but in truth. Let us remember, not in bitterness, but in purpose. Let us walk, not in fear, but in power. For we are the people of the source. The true guardians of this universe.

We are Horuba!

Here are things that all Horuba people must start to embrace:

Family Is the Foundation

At the core of every strong society is the family. Bloodline matters. Family structure and dynamics are crucial to survival and growth. Plan your family with wisdom. Build with support systems rooted in trust and shared purpose. Unity within the family creates security within the community.

Guard the Land

Wealth means nothing without land. Stop selling your birthright. Protect it. Land shapes the world, and in the hands of those with vision, a single plot can birth an empire. A good land in good hands is power.

Food is Freedom

Food production is the backbone of every great civilization. Learn to grow your own. Relying on others to feed you is surrendering power. Remember: you become what you eat. Eat well. Respect your body. Build a sacred relationship with your stomach and nourish it wisely. Learn to cultivate the art of growing food regardless of how big the land is. Be creative with your land.

Protect Your Ori!

As a Horuba, your Ori is sacred. Your head is your crown, honor it. Cultivate self-awareness. Walk with intention and balance. Understand that not everything is meant for you. And that’s okay. Embrace your uniqueness. Invest in your peace, your growth, and your personal alignment.

Stay Focused. Stay Rooted!

Never lose sight of what truly matters. Distractions are designed to derail you. Don’t let them. Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Carry yourself with dignity. Respect yourself first, and others will follow. A person who lacks self-respect commands none from the world.

Redefine Power

Be humble, but never be timid. Be brave. Be confident in your intentions. That is the essence of the redefinition. Stand with quiet pride. Reclaim your power, not through arrogance, but through clarity, discipline, and love for self and people. This is the Horuba path. This is the revolution!

Ogun laye means that war never truly ends, it simply changes form. Even when the world seems calm on the surface, battles are always being fought behind the scenes. Never get too comfortable. Stay alert and calculated. Be prepared for all possibilities.

"I pledge to uphold the Horuba values and principles, and protect all lives in truths as justice as prevailed.

These truths must begin with me and mine, to protect my rights to independence, along with my identity in the protection of

my heritage without any jeopardy to my sovereignty or to the sovereignty of my nation".

The Constitutional Path to Horuba Self-Determination and a Framework for Post-Secession Trade Partnership with Nigeria.

Introduction

As the Horuba people also known in our deeper consciousness as Horuba seek a future of self-determination, prosperity, and cultural restoration, it is crucial to clarify that our aspiration for sovereignty does not require war, nor does it seek hostility against Nigeria. The Nigerian Constitution, alongside international legal precedents, provides a lawful pathway to peaceful self-determination.

Moreover, a properly structured national trade agreement between an independent Horuba Nation and Nigeria will preserve the economic and social bonds that history has forged, ensuring that both nations remain partners in prosperity.

1. Constitutional and Legal Grounds for Yoruba Self-Determination

While the Nigerian Constitution does not explicitly grant the right to secession, it recognizes the sovereignty of the people and is subject to principles of self-determination under international law, to which Nigeria is a signatory.

Section 14(2)(a) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution (as amended) states:

“Sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom the government through this Constitution derives all its powers and authority.”

This places sovereignty in the hands of the people, meaning any constituent national group, including the Yoruba, possesses the inherent right to self-determine their political future, provided this is expressed democratically. While the struggle for secession might be a difficult one, there are ways to achieve our liberation in a more legal and social way.

Section 39(1) grants the freedom of expression, including political expression of self-determination and nationhood, as a protected right:

“Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference.”

Additionally, Nigeria is bound by the:

African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap A9 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, which under Article 20, declares:

“All peoples shall have the unquestionable and inalienable right to self-determination. They shall freely determine their political status and shall pursue their economic and social development according to the policy they have freely chosen.”

Thus, the Horuba people can invoke these provisions by:

Organizing a referendum within the Yoruba states of Nigeria under the supervision of the National Assembly or via a constitutional amendment that allows for such plebiscites.
Engaging in peaceful negotiation with the Nigerian government under the framework of constitutional and international law.

2. Global Precedents of Peaceful Secession

Several nations have secured independence without war, establishing that peaceful secession is possible with dialogue, diplomacy, and legal frameworks:

Czechoslovakia → Czech Republic and Slovakia (1993):

A peaceful “Velvet Divorce” saw the country split into two sovereign states by mutual agreement — preserving diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties.
Sudan → South Sudan (2011):

A referendum monitored internationally allowed South Sudan to secede based on the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, with both countries retaining trade relations despite political challenges.
Singapore from Malaysia (1965):

Singapore was expelled peacefully from the Federation of Malaysia, later becoming an economic powerhouse while maintaining diplomatic and trade relations with Malaysia.

These examples demonstrate that secession does not necessitate war, but requires political will, respect for democratic choices, and structured negotiations.

3. A Proposed Nigeria-Horuba Bilateral Trade & Partnership Agreement

To prevent economic hostility or disruption, the Horuba Nation proposes a National Trade and Partnership Agreement (NTPA) with Nigeria, modeled after global economic unions:

Key Proposals:

Free Trade Zones: Establish a West African Free Trade Corridor where goods, services, and labor can move between Nigeria and Horuba with minimal barriers.
Joint Energy and Infrastructure Initiatives: Collaborate on shared resources like oil, gas, and power generation facilities, particularly in border regions.
Cultural and Academic Exchange Programs: To maintain shared historical ties, both nations can foster cultural festivals, education exchange, and dual academic programs.
Security Cooperation: Commit to a joint security pact to combat terrorism, smuggling, and cross-border crimes.
Dual Citizenship Arrangement: Yoruba/Horuba people residing in Nigeria pre-independence can retain dual citizenship to preserve family and social bonds.
National Travel Passports, Identification and Documentation Arrangements.

This framework ensures that Nigeria does not lose the benefits of Yoruba productivity and innovation, while Horuba gains the sovereignty to chart its own political, cultural, and economic future.

Conclusion:

The Horuba national quest for sovereignty is not a declaration of war, but a declaration of direction, intentions, destiny and growth. It is rooted in:

Constitutional principles of popular sovereignty and freedom of expression,
International legal guarantees of self-determination,
Historical precedent that peaceful secession is achievable,
A vision for enduring economic partnership rather than enmity.
Protection for Indigenous Land Rights, and Cultural Identity Security.

“We seek not the destruction of bonds, but their redefinition in terms of equality, dignity, and mutual respect.”

The Horuba Nation stands ready to negotiate this peaceful transition with Nigeria and allies, not as rebels, but as a civilization reclaiming its place in the community of nations.
