Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Oyo State chapter, has demanded the establishment of a Yoruba radio to enable farmers and hunters to share information about any strange movement in their forests. They also asked for the empowerment of the Yoruba nation to bear arms to defend themselves against invaders in their land. The exercise was tagged ‘#Stop the kidnapping walk.’The same exercise was observed by all state chapters of the association in the South-West zone, on Thursday. The association, in its letter, made a five-point demand, which includes the creation of a Yoruba radio to update farmers on the events within the farmlands in the zone. “We demand the setting up of a Yoruba radio where farmers and hunters could share information about any strange movement in our God-given forests, which have served as foilage and food to generations of the Yoruba nation,” the letter read.
