Yoruba is one of the three major tribes in Nigeria alongside Igbo and Hausa. In recent times, there have been differences amongst the trio due to politics and other underlying issues.

Due to the ongoing conundrum in Nigeria, singer-songwriter, Idowest whose real name is Adekunle Idowu has come out to state that he now identifies as Igbo though he was born Yoruba.

ā€œBad governance! Imagine Yoruba screaming Yoruba all in the name of Yoruba! Eti yawerey. From now on I be Igbo.

ā€œUna dey sell una future cos of 1 dollar. OK.

ā€œSay no to protest bawo. Tori 1500 naira aye yin ti baje.ā€
