Although President Olusegun Obasanjo is an ethnic Yoruba, he's not one of their buddies. Mostly because Obasanjo is in bed with the army and maintains strong ties with the Hausa-speaking north of the country, which has dominated Nigeria's military leadership for decades. The Yorubas are looking to carve a separate Yoruba state out of southwestern Nigeria. OPC youths often clash with the cops in Lagos and get carved up themselves.
