There will still be a few of course. But if Buhari does his homework well, it will greatly reduced.

These are few of the fresh attacks am not even talking about the numerous past ones

Do you know anyone that is very humble, peaceful, unassuming, adaptive, fun, yet intelligent irrespective of their religion? Check their state of origin, they're most likely from the middlebelt! Save for a few bad eggs, most have very endearing qualities.
I grew more respect for them during the elections, I thought they were going to vote against Buhari being a Fulani man because of the way fulani herdsmen and people bully them on their lands. But surprisingly, they gave majority votes to APC even though there's also a large Christian population there. It shows they may not be phyical fighters but they can reason strategically.

The North central is the only region that hardly has militants, "freedom fighters", or whatever silly, violent, directionless, selfish, groups all other regions have.

They go about their businesses without creating drama and irritaing tantrums at the drop of a hat. Sometimes they're mistaken for "slaves" or docile people but there's a difference between being docile and wise. They're wise enough to know that fighting for their own country when they know they're not economically, socially, or politically ready to stand on their own two feet or allowing some selfish politicians to use their youths to fight "marginalization" is just NOT the way out.

The rest of us should please borrow a leaf from them. We need it urgently.

I love the middle beltans so much that I think I'm gonna get a wife there. They're so detribalized and are peace loving people. If not for the fulani, the middle belt is indeed one of the nicest and safest places to live in Nigeria. Even when the Nigerian govt has failed and not recognized their worth most times, yet they keep a cook head. You don't hear them crying and rolling on the floor unlike those cry babies and wailers from South East. If only the people of the middle belt could have peace. The middle beltans should take their destiny into their hands and defend themselves against these fulani invaders once and for all, I would be the happiest man on earth.

Are SS not minorities as well?? And please don't tell me they (middlebelt) have nothing to fight for.
Look here, NO SINGLE region in this country is strong enough to stand alone. NONE. The south West might be the mnost politically mature BUT they still have a long way to go economically and socially.
So can u please tell me of any state in middle belt that is economically better than oyo, not to mention lagos, because I don't know ur point of economic?
All middle belt States are economically dead due to poor leadership, the region that produce the worst governors in d country, from kogi to jos, nothing to write about them..... And mind you talking about Abuja it is a pure civil service States where that add nothing to the got purse interms of internal generated revenue due to low real business activities.. .. go and check the Nigeria bureau statistics and see the rating of the North central in terms of economy activities to enlighten ur self and be proper informed, the worst region in the whole south is better than middle belt economically so what are you now saying?

J. S. Tarka was dumbass turncoat and water-boy. After his followers in UMBC were massacred by the Fulani, Hausa, Kanuri and Nupe in 1964, he allowed himself to be used by Mobil, Fulani, Yoruba, Hausa, Kanuri and Nupe as a weeping jackass before the USA audience by telling them that crude oil flows from his region and USA should support Nigeria against Biafra.

Two things wrong with the middle belt.

Poor leadership


and the muslims in the middle belt would prefer to be called a Northerner, infact they try as much as they can to convince themselves that they are Northerners.
Maybe because the region is officially called North central, I dunno.


The day they start to see themselves as a region(not part of the North east or North west) then they will forward.

Hmmm, did the communities fight back?

There is a way they fight back and mark the place a no go area for fulani's and their cattle.

I can't remember the last time such happened in Kogi state especially Kogi central cos some years back the people actually fought back and killed lots and lots of their cattle.

Agree this will be the solution for real. They should stop ignoring them ! They should do them an eye for 10 eyes and everyone go respect each other! They carrying AK47, who no fit carry arms! Nonsense indeed!

Yea. I don't think Buhari can do much about it TBH. You know this people are always on the move.


The chiefs and kings in those communities need to strategise and come up with a plan and involve the police if need be.

Borrow a leaf means keep quiet when you're oppressed otherwise known as suffering and smiling. Accepting that the life of a Hausa/Fulani is worth more than any other. I think it's the nature of the people because they are satisfied with crumbs in the form of government appointments.

Na wa o. Some people's comprehension skills are just too poor. Where do I start explaining now?

But I'm sure you saw where I said that NO REGION is strong enough to stand alone. Meaning that although the SW is politically mature (to an extent) they still need a lot of work to be done socially and economically just like other regions.
