IRserveMyComent: If you were not bright enough to understand the comment I can understand. because there is NOWHERE i even attempted to defend the activities of those cold blooded killer 'herdsmen'. I was calling out the hypocrisy of southerners like you that speak like your kinsmen don't commit the sickest and most barbaric crimes and perform the most satanic blood rituals known to man. |

fulanmafia: My dear you where merely diverting attention from the issue on ground. You also went ahead to assert that "the only reason ethnicity is attached to these criminals is political", by saying this you appear to be trying very heard to exonerate the fulanis from the crime, while everyone in Nigeria knows they are the nomadics that move from community to community in search of pastures. How on earth could it have been political to say they are from a certain ethnic part of the country?? come to think of it, i guess you should change your monika,you sound better than that. our monikas has a way of influencing how we communicate here. |

IRserveMyComent: By your generalization, you are implying that all fulanis are violent and are killers....can you see the problem? How would you take it if ALL igbo's are called drug traffickers/cannibals or ALL Yoruba's are called ritualists because of the activities of a few? The fact a lot of southerners are ignorant of is that less than about 30% of Fulani's are nomadic. Do the activities of a few warrant the irrational painting of the collective? How about the fact that the same Fulanis have been the main producers of the beef consumed in this country for decades without incidents? You see, the reason I said it is political is because of the deliberate focus on their ethnicity instead of their crime, especially at a time when the President who is coincidentally also fulani is despised strongly by some regions, and has also been mocked for being a cattle farmer himself. The whole point i'm making here is that focusing on their ethnicity will only distort focus on eradicating their crime, especially as all evidence points to the fact that they are criminal bandits and rustlers using the cattle as a convenient cover. Finally, regarding my moniker, the shock-value is priceless |

fulanmafia: Are you for real By my generalization?? could you pls point out where i said ALL Fulani are nomadic and killers. If you could term my write up as having generalized it means you need to re-check the meaning of the word "generalization" with your dictionary. The deliberate focus on their ethnicity you said is the reason you insinuated it was politically driven? Its quit a pity that we politicize virtually everything in this country which shouldnt be. So you want to feign ignorance that you no longer know that Fulani Herds Men have been the name they are known by even befor they started the killing spree?? So you now want a reporter to remove the Fulani and call them only herdsmen, just to satisfy your quest to exonerate them from the crime which everyone knows they commited. You also claim the hype on the issue was simply because a section of the country hates the president who comes from there?? Can you agree with me that this menace has assumed a high propensity that is unimaginable since the president who happens to be from there assumed office? They now see themselves as the untouchables, unleashing their terror with an unequaled magnitude. Can you also agree with me that this same president has not done what he should do on the issue? Can you tell me that if it had been the Niger delta militants or even the Ipob that had been unleashing this terror on others he would not have done anything? He would have just been this silent? Am sorry to say that if ur brother the president is hated, he is the cause of the hatred. I for one do not hate people,i only hate their bad attitude. I know you have a conscience, tell me if the silence on the part of the president has been fair? No one expects him to go and raise the over 3OO Agatu indigns and several others murdered in their various communities by these dare devils. The least he would have done is issue a presidential condolence, And condemn these barbaric acts. but what did he do? he chose to go mute on a very sensitive issue as this. So if there has been a hype on their ethnicity,it is the actions and inactions of the president that necessitated it. If you were in the shoes of people hyping it you would also do same or even more. And then this is an attitude very peculiar to nigeria. That is how virtually evrything is ethnicized,so i dont know why you want or expect this one to be different. On your moniker i would say keep enjoying the fortune via priceless shock value. lolss. Have a nice day. |

Fulani group called Miyetti Allah has denied an allegation by Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State that Fulanis were planning to launch spontaneous attacks in the state. Instead, the group said they would only fight back in self defense if they were attacked by members of the Berom ethnic group. In a statement obtained by SaharaReporters and signed by Sale Bayari, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders' Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) decried Governor Jang’s “false, malicious and inciting statement.” The group credited the governor with alleging that “Fulani were planning and recruiting foreigners to attack Plateau State.” Mr. Bayari, the group’s national secretary and a resident of Plateau State, challenged Mr. Jang to “make such security reports at his disposal available for perusal and scrutiny” by security agents and the public. MACBAN asserted that the governor’s claims were “entirely false, mischievous [and] the figment of his wild imagination which is aimed at causing restiveness, fear among and intimidation of the peace-loving people of Plateau State.” The statement accused the governor of pursuing a “tribal agenda” by resorting “to false alarms, propaganda and bare-faced lies in order for him to cover his exposed agenda of ethnic cleansing of our people.” The statement continued: “We want to categorically tell the people of Plateau State and all Nigerians that the Fulani have never and will never attack anybody and will only fight back in self-defense; even this shall be as a last resort as the Fulani believe in the rule of law and will continue to rely on the law to protect them.” MACBAN stated that the decision by the Goodluck Jonathan administration to invite only the Berom, Fulani and Hausa to talks at Aso Rock demonstrated that the Federal Government had done its home work and knew “those who are fighting and killing themselves and the reasons.” Mr. Bayari’s statement added: “The fact is that the Fulani of Plateau State, in particular, and Nigeria in general, have no problem with the people of Plateau State, to warrant any attack on the people. The people who have consistently attacked the Fulani of Plateau State and other Fulani on national cattle routes in Plateau State have been the Berom ethnic tribe of Governor Jang in Jos South, Riyom and Barkin Ladi LGs since 2001 to date. The Fulani in Plateau State have never attacked any other tribe in any aggression or reprisal except the Berom who have so far since 2001 killed over 700 Fulani in these Berom-dominated areas. The Fulani minority in these places have been fighting in self-defense against the Berom majority killer squads and militia which are allegedly being recruited and sponsored by the Plateau State Government.” The group described the governor’s recent allegation as “ridiculous, subversive and an unnecessary diversion of the attention of the Federal Government,” adding that it was an attempt to “pre-empt the efforts and plans of the Federal Government in its efforts to bring lasting peace to the state.” It further accused Mr. Jang of always raising false alarms “to agitate the peace-loving people of Plateau State by alleging that he has security reports of an impending 'Jihadic' attack on the people of Plateau State.” MACBAN said the security agencies in the state were not aware of the alleged Fulani threats that the governor spoke about. |
