AFENIFERE, a Pan-Yoruba Socio Political group yesterday rose from an emergency meeting in Akure, the Ondo state capital and called for the stoppage of cattle rearing activities in the south West states following the menace of Fulani herdsmen.

The group said that the activities of the fulani herdsmen in the states have endangered the lives of the people.

Spokesman of the group, Yinka Odumakin said that their activities ‎should be stopped in” every space of Yorubaland just as he called for the arrest of those who abducted a Chieftain of the group Chief Olu Falae.

Odumakin declared that ” In the event this call is not yielded then our people may result to self help to protect themselves.

The meeting last over six hours and it was chaired by its National Chairman, Pa Reuben Fasoranti at his Country home in Akure.

They group described the attack and abduction of one of its leaders who was the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Chief Olu Falae as an insult on the race.

‎A Communique read to newsmen by Odumakin said “We demand that nomadic cattle rearing should be stopped in every state of Yoruba land.

“We believe now that after what has happened to chief Falae, people would not tolerate such thing in any part of Yoruba land .

“So while we await the arrest of the criminals, the cattle rearing should be stop in Yoruba land.

“Yoruba people go to any part of the country to trade,no history or record of such anywhere that the Yorubas destroy the business of their host. What we cannot do to others, nobody should do it to us.

Odumakin said that the meeting” decried insecurity in the country as relate to the unrelenting blood letting by the terrorist Boko Haram and the wave of unchecked kidnapping going on in the country.

“A special focus was beam on the recent abduction of one of our revered leader in Afenifere,Chief Olu Falae, also a former secretary to the government of the federation and former presidential candidates,while on his farm.

“We describe this as scandalous and chilling that the harrowing experience of the 77 year old man in the hands of vandals,miscreants.

“The Meeting did not considers it as a mere coincidence that chief Olu Falae for two to three years has been having running battles with the Fulani herdsmen on the very farm before he was abducted.

“Last of such was about two months earlier when they enter his farmland and destroyed it and chief Falae pursue the matter with the police and grudgingly accepted half of what the police said they should pay as compensation.

“The fulani elements coming to abduct him two months latter, is presumably a vengeance mission for justice that he pursued against the invasion of his farm and the destruction of his hand work.

” The meeting recalled that for years, farmers in Yoruba land has been expressing what chief Falae was going through in the hands of this nomadic cattle rearers

“. You will recalled that in year 2000 in Oke Ogun area of Oyo state, the fulani herdsmen and farmers had a major clash which led to a strong delegation from Arewa consultative forum to storm the office of the office of the then Governor Lam Adesina in a rowdy and angry manner on behalf of fulani .

“The meeting also noted that the 2014 national conference in which chief Falae led the Yoruba delegation ,extensively discuss this matter of nomadic cattle rearing and the conference resolved the it should be stopped and instead have ranches for cattle business.

“We condemned the abduction of Chief olu Falae and his gruesome experience as shameful, insensitive and a violent violation of Yoruba culture, values and space.

Even in 2015, one Nigeria is still causing problem.

Lol! Ultimatum to their master?

Watch how this fulani herdsmen kidnap Obasanjo in his otta farm.

Yes its time to know the real Devil.



Let's call on TINUBU to protect YORUBA LAND.

Demand not feasible, the fulanis will continue their cattle rearing without disturbance.

Slaves.
Anyway, we'll soon install Obi/Eze in our communities in Lagos.
One Nigeria

Ok

Just like asking the southerners to leave sabogari..

Beef go scars gan

if they don't leave in peace, kill them all

Are the suffercated fetish yoruba no longer accommodating? Can a servant challenge a master to a fight? Afenifere OYO

Did anyone notice the uncountable gbagauns (grammatical errors) in the article? The author is an Oduduwa guy called Dayo. Vanguard has sunk very low in its erstwhile superb delivery since employing the red roof "shofisticated" ones.

Thats right

Empty threats. Chest beating

dialogue is the key to prevent escalation of conflicts

Here in my end we sent them away. It was tough and at least people lost their lives in the process but the fight was successful.

I said it before and am saying it again :
You scratched faced slaves should try it and the scratches you will get this time will not be follow come and this time,may never heal

lurther:
Lol! Ultimatum to their master?

Watch how this fulani herdsmen kidnap Obasanjo in his otta farm.

Maybe you are talking about your people who are slaves to a Fulani/ Yoruba man Saraki a man whose own people stoned him but was able to get igbos as his personal Abobakwus

From Ijaws slaves to Fulani slaves

Vicotex:
Slaves.

Anyway, we'll soon install Obi/Eze in our communities in Lagos.

One Nigeria

Cowards that couldn't but obey the Oba after he threatened you with the lagoon all you do is rant online yet iyalojas and bablojas continue to rule you in the markets

Please get them out. They are nuisance in Benue.

They can't do shiit! Just their usual silly rant and mediocrity! It sad when you don't even know you are a slave in your own house. Oya quote me and ....

Ojukwu at death bequeathed all he head to a Hausa woman. The only thing this flirt son of ibo extraction inherited from him was bald head.

I am a Yoruba man and willl not support kidnapping but if this report is true then the fulani dominated state should order their Yoruba in the land to leave since every body has right to stay in any location in the country !!!

I support the call.

Those marauders need to be sent out of Yorubaland and South in general.

They create nuisance wherever they go.

It's time they are sent packing.

God Bless Youbaland.

God Bless Nigeria.

Slaves.

You are a bastard!
ibos are the slavves looking for freedom from Nigeria via Biafra.
We Yorubas are on top of this, I can assure you.

OPC! Awake from your slumber!!
You have done it before, you can do it again.

In case the ibos slaves missed this from the post.

You will recalled that in year 2000 in Oke Ogun area of Oyo state, the fulani herdsmen and farmers had a major clash which led to a strong delegation from Arewa consultative forum to storm the office of the office of the then Governor Lam Adesina in a rowdy and angry manner on behalf of fulani

Buhari actually led that delegation.

In asmush as i condemn the kidnap of chief olu falae in it totality, i stil dont think chasin the fulanis out of yorubaland is the best option.

These herdsmen have really angered their hosts and must thread the line of caution.

Or what? Tell me na or what?

This is something that all I mean ALL southerners and middle beltans should join hands and support the yoruba's. The menace of Fulani herdsmen is not peculiar to the yoruba's alone. Daily they kill the igbo's in enugu, they killed some ijaws at patani last year and their prowess in killing is well known in benue and jos. Let's unite against Fulani herdsmen and let's deliberate for a better south and middle belt

I pray the kidnap of Pa Olu Falae will be a blessing in disguise. Hope it will make president Buhari to set up a committee that will look into the suffering of the host community and plan on setting up ranches for the herds men. If they can do this to Olu Falae, I wonder who is save.

About time this issue is permanently settled!

Nevertheless, why did it take Afenifere "elders" this long to act decisively? They are now giving ultimatums only after one of their own became a victim!
