You are a sophisticated tribalist. Admit it. A tribalist playing chess with his post

tpiander:


obviously, you weren't raised right!

Shymm3x:


Fvck off, my mama.

I don't like my father. Wonder who he is sef.

CyberWolf:
You shy away from addressing pertinent questions which is..Are these Fulani herdsmen maiming and killing people? Yes..Are some people deliberately sabotaging the efforts being made to stop this killings because of some political gratification, the answer is Yes. You should be bothered with that and not me being Igbo.

Shymm3x:


I know you. Missy89 is the homie and I doubt she gives two fvcks about Fulanis. And based on what I know she doesn't even like them, to be honest.

I think the problem with these folks is that they're too dumb to process more than one information at a time. And it's basically just garbage in and garbage out. They think cos the SW has an alliance with Fulanis with this government - Yorubas have to automatically turn a blind eye to Fulani menace. Focus on ya non-beneficial alliance which hasn't yielded any fruit apart from the Fulani president appointing only Northerners to important positions due to nepotism, with crumbs for Yorubas - and leave those trying to defend innocent and poor Yorubas do that.

That's why higher minds always use carrot and stick approach. But these folks have the Afonja traits in their DNA. The same way Afonja got carried away and Ilorin became an emirate - that's the same way these folks are trying to sell out Yorubas for a useless alliance on paper, with master/slave relationship. I'm not having that. Yorubaland must be protected at all times - that's the only thing we've.

CyberWolf:
Well if she is not in support of them, I tender my apology but more people should speak up before it gets out of hand just the way it is in the middle belt now. The worst part is that the press are covering it up, the presidency is not talking about it either. This guys need to be stopped by any means necessary.

Missy89:


I remember posting on one of the Fulani thread criticizing southerners seeing the Fulani invasion as a yoruba thing when they should be finding a way to work together and send them back to the North. The thread was riddled with quotes from Yorubas and Igbos calling themselves cowards and posting links about the same issue when it happened in Enugu. I stop commenting on the Falae and Fulani issue after that since no one seems to get the point.

Shymm3x:


She doesn't care about Fulani. The only people she cares about apart from Yorubas are Edos and that's cos her mum is an Ibadanised Akoko Edo woman.

The only time I'm at loggerheads with her is on international politics. And probably one time when she almost disrespected the Lagos King. She's family and different from all these other dumb slags - with garbage in, garbage out mentality.

What else do you expect from a president that's a cow jockey himself? He'll only say something when it becomes an eye for an eye to protect his Fulani people.

CyberWolf:
That is the same thing we are saying. This leaders from south has been there all this while, what did they do? Isn't it obvious that they are reluctant about solving this problem. But Falana wants you to go suck the balls of the leaders begging them to solve this problem.

The earlier we start protecting ourselves from this people by attacking them head long both verbally and physically, the better for all of. At least the only language our leaders understands is violence..

Shymm3x:


Lol.

I'm not In New York. I'm a Londoner.

Naija isn't the belly of the beast.

The beast is the unseen power that rules the world - the brain behind world domination via money and the powers that be. And while DC is the poster child for the beast - London is its belly and its brain. That's why higher minds call London the belly of the beast.

Ezenwammadu:
Falana is simply defending his Fulani slavemasters with all his strength so there grand patron will remember him in his next batch of noisemakers.


Next thing now he will blame Igbo herdsmen

Shymm3x:


There's a big market for hide and skin globally. So if you take care of the business side - they can always go that route. And that won't stop them from being nomadic. Evidently, you haven't solved the problem.

Lol. I doubt state government can ban them since the FG has more powers than state governments in Nigeria and they control the centre. So they can always veto that with ease. And the problem would still be there.

Only the FG can solve the Fulani problem and since they don't care - folks need to start protecting themselves. When it becomes an eye for an eye, they'll stop killing people and find other ways to rear their cows.

CyberWolf:
I don't have any problem with one's political inclination but when one allows political sentiments beclouds one's sense of reasoning, that's when it becomes a problem.

masseratti:
lol,oh goodness poster child? I hear you.

masseratti:
they are at advantage because they move around, and yes a state Government can enact laws banning open grazing of animals anywhere in the state,once that is done and anyone grazing animals in open field is arrested and their cattle is impounded they will go back,highest they will attack government institutions which I know they don't have the capacity to attack, it can be done at a point people said you can't ban okada riders,Fashola did heaven did not fall,now bobo orobo is there and the old system is bad with gridlock everywhere.

Shymm3x:


I don't think that's practical in a country like Nigeria. That would amount to putting a restriction on movement and the FG can always veto cos it has absolute powers.

The only thing state governors can focus on is the protection of the lives and properties of their constituencies. And they can start by creating a neighbourhood watch task force (it can be covert) that folks can get in touch with at any time of the day, with orders to kill, if needs be. When they start killing them like flies - they'll stop acting like savages.

They're not the only pastoralists in Africa - there are bigger pastoral groups in Sudan, Rwanda, Kenya and all over the continent and they don't cause the same problems everywhere. Heck, even the other Fulanis all over West Africa aren't as problematic as the ones in Nigeria. I think the ones in Nigeria just think they're invincible cos of the sense of entitlement that they own the country, hence the madness. Once folks start blowing their brains off and taking their cows - they will change their tactics and learn how to act like normal human beings.

masseratti:
pastoral groups are problematic in Kenya too yes in Nigeria they are becoming a bigger problem, the FG cannot over ride the state Government on this because it's not their turf in the constitution.

Shymm3x:


Thanks for the Kenyan reference. I just did a little background research on that and it's only secluded to one region - Northern Kenya. Unlike the Fulani problem, which is a national problem. This is the full PDF file of someone scholarship on the Kenyan issue: http://practicalaction.org/docs/region_east_africa/conflict_in_northern_kenya.pdf

State governments in Nigeria don't have the absolute powers to restrict movement within the country - I don't think the constitution allows that. So it can always be vetoed.

Anyway, Yoruba nation is a nation within the Nigerian borders (Yorubaland is more of real country than Nigeria will ever be) - and the onus will always be on Yorubas to protect their territorial integrity and defenceless Yoruba folks against marauders. No one's life is worth snapping out cos of cows/meat.

masseratti:
yes Yoruba is a Nation in Nigeria yes the states cannot restrict movements but they can restrict the activities of residence,in some states in the north your can't drink alcohol in the public and the constitution I not again most that law same way that law operate it can be applied to people breeding livestocks in public with out restrictions and regulations the constitution is not against that.

Shymm3x:


Okay.

In whatever they do - they must protect the territorial integrity of Yorubaland and innocent poor folks on their farmlands. Not all Yoruba folks can be jobless political hacks scrounging for crumbs like the loudest ones out there and the illiterates who populate this forum.

The decent ones out there in villages and their livelihoods must be protected.

masseratti:
sorry about the typo, work is seriously distracting me here play am typing with my phone.

Shymm3x:


I understand - it's all about the message.

I don't even proof-read my posts before I click send and most times I just glance through and edit the typos in there. So it's no biggie and I probably have a few spelling/grammatical errors in mine as well.

ibadanfinest:
All the idiotic biafrans on this thread calling Yoruba betrayals, I think you all lack sense o, Yoruba's have independent mind, we cannot allow some people to just decide for us all In d name of elders.
We need not form alliance with you guys, for what?. What are we going to benefit from the alliance.

Those Fulani were just used ni jare, are they that smart that security agency cannot capture them.

nduchucks:
The nomadic way of life of the herdsmen, protected under the constitution of this great country, must be preserved.

It will take great minds and not pumpous dullards to find unique solutions to our unique problems.

MbashrexBashir:
If Femi Fani Kayode would at least be a little wise as this man things will go smoothly in the country

macof:


The cultivating way of life of the Yoruba Agbe, protected under the constitution of this country must be preserved.

No fvcking fulani herdsmen should pose any challenge to the great people of Yorubaland

nduchucks:



Foul mouth will not help your points if you have any. Citizens pose challenges to their governments and other citizens, routinely. The wise ones lead and proffer solutions to these challenges.

Curse words will never solve the problem. Grow up!

macof:


The solution is simple. Herdsmen should leave SW

macof:


You are so gullible. Smart or otherwise, it's not generic to any one ethnic nation

Even the independent mind you speak about yorubas, many yorubas have proven to be Eru gambari

ibadanfinest:


Its not your fault o, but you have no point o. Since democracy returned, we have ruled for 8 years even when jona and year adua first tenure, they were seen as obj boys so more like 12 years, when u say eru, am sure u meant politically which is far from the Truth. Eyin omo ale jati jati Biafra, The first coalition was BTW Azikiwe and Ahmadu bello against our own awolowo in case u don't know your history, u will never see that as betrayal but when its anoda tribe coalition, u leave your mother tongue and start speaking Yoruba.
