If the harmony that exists among these ethnic groups is well replicated in this country, Nigeria would have been a great place. The practice of grant-in-aid thereby ceased because they were now all public schools, maintained by government as such. The Yoruba of Ilorin have no cause to struggle with the fact of being (mostly) Muslim and also Yoruba. Most of the Yoruba of Ilorin I have interacted with over the decades have both Islamic and Yoruba names. It’s not the only territory Yoruba “lost”.
