On 30th April 2016 Mr. George Akinola wrote the following words on Facebook.
"When the Fulani exploded on the geographic space later christened Nigeria in 1804 they did not negotiate power with the Hausas, they seized it from them on the battlefield.
When the same Fulani appeared in Ilorin in 1823, purportedly to assist Afonja, the Are-ona-kakanfo of Oyo and the ruler of Ilorin, in revolt against his sovereign, Alafin Aole, the Alafin of Oyo, it was to gain his confidence for a while and a vantage position to murder him. Ilorin has been under Fulani rule since then and up until today.
When the British colonised all these empires, kingdoms and fiefdoms in the 19th century, it was not out of love for the black man.
It was an imperialistic push for more land, more territories to exploit minerals and other resources from. If you did not agree by subtle pressure, they simply applied the brute force. To hell with you and all you cared for!
When the Fulani attacked Yorubaland in 1825, they gave all our ancestors notice that they intended to bury the Quran in the sea at the backyard of the Yoruba empire and kingdoms.
Meaning? They will kill, destroy, maim, trample on men, women, children and all that we hold dear to achieve this goal. This was not by negotiation or a bargaining deal.
Blood was on the cards and red was its colour. Thank God for the fierce resistance of the Yoruba, rallying at Ibadan.
If not, maybe we will be doing "ranka dede" for one clown Emir of Ado-Ekiti or another comedian Emir of Abeokuta today.
Power does not give way to persuasion. Power only succumbs to superior power.
Fast forward to 1960. The new nation had just gained independence. But the drums of drunken power was already pulsating with madness in the heart of Ahmadu Bello, the leader of NPC, the party that won the 1959 elections, and which assumed the reins of power to lead Nigeria at independence.
Note that this was the great grandson of Uthman Dan Fodio, the leader of the 1804 Fulani Jihad. He made his intention, and the intention of the Fulani, clear in this now infamous statement: Hear Ahmadu Bello in the Parrot Newspaper of 12th October, 1960:
“The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the south as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future”.
I am sure you did not read any entreaties of love, affection and camaraderie disposition in that statement. It was harsh, callous, wicked, sadistic, exploitative, intimidating and wholesomely damning.
That is drunken power talking with inspiration from the lunatic fringe.
When he eventually paid for it with his life, his inheritors found a way to re-invent their stranglehold on Nigeria.
They came in through the military and continued, in a more draconian fashion, the bleeding exploitation of Nigeria. What we inherited from the British was "self-governing Regions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."
Now we are forcibly united by an un-feeling centre. What we inherited was a revenue allocation formula that was largely derivative.
Now it is almost 'allocative'. At a point, Mohammed Buhari reduced the 50% derivation formula to 1%.
These parasites are barracudas and Shylocks of the highest order.
The only language these savages understand is the one that brought them there in the first case: force.
This may be subtle through the use of the instrumentality of guerrilla journalism, protests, occupation, civil resistance, civil disobedience, referendum, United Nations appeal, International coalition of forces, etc.
On the other hand it may boom through the barrel of the gun in a violent uprising or revolt, civil or guerrilla warfare.
Either way, force is force.
The irreducible decimal is that the Yoruba reject enslavement, the appropriation of their resources without their approval and illegal occupation of their God given land with all iota of their soul and with all the power in their being.
Whether for one second or for 200 years the enemy shall not feel comfortable until they leave.
With reference to how they will leave, however, the choice remains theirs: either on foot, running helter-skelter, on stretchers, in trailers, buses, straddled on horses or loaded in coffins.
But, leave, they shall, when superior power speaks!"
These are harsh and frightful words yet
Mr. Akinola's historical analysis and assesment is first class. He has spoken nothing but the truth no matter how bitter that truth may be. This takes courage and I commend him for it.
I deplore violence and I do not advocate or condone it in any shape or form. I do not want anyone to leave our land "loaded in coffins" or in body bags and neither do I believe that violence and bloodshed leads to anything but even more violence and bloodshed. It is nothing but a vicious cycle.
However the type of rhetoric that is now being expressed by our southern youth and intellectuals about the situation in Nigeria and particularly about the excesses of the Fulani cannot be ignored or downplayed.
We ignore the words of people like Mr. George Akinola, Mr. Babatunde Gbadamosi, Mr. Grandson Soyemi and so many others at our own peril.
Clearly there is tension and anger in the land. The spirit of division is rife and it is getting stronger by the day. Things are getting hotter and tempers are flaring. Nigeria is begininning to unravel at the seams. We must all be very careful not to set a match to the tinderbox.
Thankfully there are still a number of Fulani and non-Fulani voices in the north who represent a moderate and sane disposition and who have nothing to do with the hegemonist or religious agenda of the bigots and the hardliners.
I am talking about men like Colonel Abubakar 'Dangiwa' Umar, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim Imam, Alhaji Ibrahim Turaki SAN and so many others. I know every single one of these individuals and I can vouch for them.
These are the sort of people that are still holding the country together by giving southerners hope that the voice of moderation, reason and restraint still exists in the north and that that voice may eventually prevail. Yet the fire continues to burn on the mountain and tempers are still rising.
The insulting warning to the south from the 19 northern governors just the other day made matters worse. This contribution did not help to calm the storm but instead it has further frayed nerves. Simply put the northern governors have rubbed raw salt into our southern wounds.
They said that southerners should "not insult the Fulani again" and that even though they deplored what their kinsmen, the Fulani herdsmen, did in Enugu the other day, that does not mean that "their people" ought to be insulted.
This is all they had to say after thousands of southerners have been killed, maimed, raped, abducted and tortured in the sanctity of their own homes and land by the Fulani militants and herdsmen over the last one year alone and after over one hundred igbos were slaughtered in Enugu state just a few days ago.
They even went a step further by saying that they intend to take the cue from Kaduna state and introduce the licensing of all Churches and preachers in all the states of the north.
This is a deep insult to every Christian worth his salt, to the clergy and to the Church. It is also a surreptitious attempt to curb the spreading of the gospel in northern Nigeria. If ever the northetn governors had an all-time low this is it.
Instead of them burying their heads in shame and appealing to the rest of Nigeria to forgive them and their kith and kin for their collective and historical sins the Fulani leaders are still issuing threats to the rest of us through their surrogates, leaders and governors.
This is unacceptable. Such reckless arrogance and callous insensitivity does not serve them well and neither does it engender peace and reconciliation in our country. Instead it is provocative and insulting and it can only lead to a greater degree of alienation and more misunderstanding.
Sadly the 17 southern governors could not even muster the resolve to organise their own meeting and respond to the slur.
Meanwhile the people of the south are still grieving and suffering immeasurable pain as a consequence of the gratuitous violence and evil that we have been subjected to at the hands of these murderous Fulani herdsmen over the last ten months.
We are still mourning our dead and indeed all the innocent and defenceless souls, including women and children, that were murdered in cold blood in Enugu state just a few days ago.
The truth is that as long as those that represent the Fulani militants and herdsmen continue to try to justify or rationalise their beastly behaviour and threaten the south there will be people like Mr. George Akinola who will respond with the sort of rhetoric that he has expressed in this contribution.
There would also be far more than mere rhetoric and this, more than anything else, saddens me because I am a man of peace and I deplore violence.
Yet you cannot expect people to sit by silently and watch their loved ones and kith and kin being slaughtered like christmas turkeys and sallah rams on a daily basis by a bunch of uncouth, vulgar and unlettered barbaric beasts who are suffering from some kind of vampiric blood lust and who are plagued and afflicted with a cult-like supporter of APC syndrome.
It would be most unwise for the Fulani leaders and indeed the leaders of the north to ignore such sentiments and dismiss them with the usual contempt.
It is important that the Fulani militants and herdsmen are reigned in and that they stop killing southerners and occupying our land.
It is important that the Buhari administration stops encouraging and covertly supporting them in their mass murder and savage butchery.
It is important that the greater and wider agenda to conquer the south, to take our lands, to dominate and islamise our people and to discredit, destroy, jail and kill all vocal and credible southern leaders that have opted to stand up against them be brought to a halt.
It is important that the master plan to subjugate the people of the south to perpetual bondage and slavery at the hands of the Fulani be stopped.
It is only when that happens that we can guarantee lasting peace in our nation. It is only when this is done that people like Mr. George Akinola and all the other young rising southern stars will stop saying the sort of things that they are saying.
It is only when that happens that they will stop speaking and reflecting the minds of millions of southerners who are fed up with what is going on in our country and who are prepared to stand up, challenge the powers that be, break the yoke of bondage and slavery and fight for their freedom.
Permit me to end this contribution with the reaction of Afenifere, the leading Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, to the insults of the 19 northern governors.
On 1st May 2016 the Sunday Vanguard Newspaper reported as follows:
The Yoruba group, which spoke through their National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, told Sunday Vanguard: “It (the northern governors’ position) is a sign of unfeeling, uncaring for any group today to come out and say that those who have been causing problems and killing people in the Middle Belt and the South are not Fulani herdsmen. They have killed in Agatu land, Enugu; a traditional ruler was killed in Delta State; they killed Chief Olu Falae’s guard and also kidnapped Chief Falae himself. For some people to gather and call themselves northern governors, and have no sympathy for lives than to be defending the Fulani herdsmen, shows clearly that it is a tragedy of monumental proportion to be in the same country with these elements. You also begin to wonder if the blood of human beings runs in their veins because anybody that has human blood running in his veins will not come and say that Fulani herdsmen are not responsible. What nonsense.”
The Afenifere spokesperson went on: “I think the northern governors should bury their heads in shame. I do not think they are fit to be in the comity of civilized human beings. If the attackers are not Fulani herdsmen, where have they struck in the North-West? Why are their activities only in the Middle Belt and in the South? That is the question these northern governors should answer. When militants were blowing up pipelines in the South-South, were they not called Niger Delta militants? Do they want us to call them Yoruba herdsmen?”
As always Afenifere has done the yoruba, and by extension the entire south, proud with their courageous and timely words and intervention. They have spoken for every single one of us. Let us hope that the northern governors and the murderers that they seek to defend get the message.
Let us hope that they can purge themselves of the unwholesome and denigrating contempt that they clearly have for the people of the south before it is too late and before the whole damn nation explodes and breaks into a thousand pieces.

too long ...

I want something better.
Everybody, region and ethnic group is responsible for whatever has become of Nigeria.

Nice salvo from Afenifere and FFK.

It is high time the Southern Govs come together, putting aside their political, religious and ethnic differences and issue a stern warning to those useless Northern governors.

It is heart rendering that the Gov of Benue and other middle belts states were in that demonic meeting and they were nodding their heads like agama lizard.

If hausas and other Northern tribes have willingly made themselves the slaves of Fulanis, some of us will send them parking in body bags like our great grandfathers and fathers did.

Fulani herdsmen are blood sucking demons and criminals. The mad 19 Northern Govs should do their worst.

This spels the fact that there isn't anything as one Nigerian since one rigion has been working hard and is still working to subdue and colonise others.

God forbid us evil. There is just no love in this Nation and with what is going on now in this nation, the seed of hatrade is being sown.

May God hlp us!

i thought Buhari will do a big job of uniting this effed up country - but it seems he is here to do the opposite.

i mean which leader in his right mind will keep quiet and not make any statement at all on the atrocities happening under his watch simply because they are his kit and kin!

Goodluck Jonathan in his days when the Niger delta militants were accused of masterminding the independence day bombing stood up and said his people cannot commit such atrocity - the fact that he said something - even if it is in the defensive, at least made him a listening President.

But for Buhari to keep mute in the face of all the atrocities committed by his people the fulanis against other Nigerians that he swore with the constitution to protect, is not just an insult on the psych of Nigerians but a grand failure on his side as a leader! It is a strong indication that he is for the North alone - especially for the Fulanis and for no other! it also proves that he is in full support of the barbarism and present genocidal actions perpetrated by his people the fulanis against other ethnic groups! in a sane country where the constitution works, his actions gives room for impeachment proceedings!

Nnamdi Kanu is incarcerated without trial because he was accused of calling on other tribes to arm themselves for self defense because the 'zoo' called Nigeria is planning a massive genocide against other tribes, while the fulanis who are truly now carrying out the same crime the guy accused them of planning are actually walking free and given protection by our security operatives!

THE CALL FOR EVERY MAN TO ANSWER HIS PAPA NAME - IS IN ALL HONESTY BEING MADE LOUDER BY BUHARI'S INACTION!

Since Buhari's assumption of office, the subtle call for self-rule have been this loud - all the regions are beginning to silently call for self-rule.


IT WILL BE A VERY SAD THING THAT UNDER BUHARI'S WATCH NIGERIA FINALLY FALL APART!

George Akinola is an ibo Ipod, who wants to destroy the government of our Buhari. We yoruba muslims stand by Fulani. On behalf of great yoruba sons like Arresa, Joborskills, passingshot we donate our land in Osun for grazing reserve to our fulani brothers since Oyo and Ogun have been federal grazing reserves for 200 years now. God Bless our fulani brothers.

You are still begging the ipod region for southern unity? you will not stampede them into uniting with you by calling them names. You rejoice when they are killed and when there is news of possible reprisal, you call it a mere 'ego booster'.

If you don't know how to ask the SESS region nicely, stand where you are and defend yourself. The SESS region can defend themselves without you, if their safety had been been dependent on yorubas, they would have been destroyed long ago. Traitors are unneccesary baggages!

Beg whom? How can we be begging a group of people that have never won any war in their history to join us on a cause?

Our grandfathers routed the Fulanis, our fathers did it and we will do it again and again. They always come in one way and we always send them back in 7 ways.

Yorubas are a nation that do not need your Southern unity. Ask them up north, they know who they have respect and fear and they know who they do not give any regards to.

From Jebba to Badagari, Kaaba to Okitipupa, we are a nation. Just a unit of our grand fathers' Army send the whole of their Army packing. If need be. If they failed to heed voice of reasoning and warning, 1825 and 2000 will be a child's play.

bros take am easy abeg before u burst a nerve over that she-male!

that she-male is doing the job his/her fulani masters paid ha to do - "put asunder among them" divide-and-rule agents!

the north knows that there will be serious kasala for them the day south is united against them thats why they made sure we are not united by splitting south into south-south, south-east and south-west!

and the division is working handsomely well for them.

peeps like that she-male are the ones paid to make sure there is nothing like unity of the south.

if I talk now, "they" will ban me. but Bleep "them".

Nigeria is a zoological department xterised with barbaric and animalistic behaviour. When my brother called dis fake entity zoo, he was jailed and being prosecuted for revealing the revelation. Now what is happening?

See, let us tell our self the gospel truth, there is nothing like one Nigeria, the earlier we divide this fake entity, the better for all of us. Or beta still, go back to that round table and renegotiate our "business terms" which is regional government. All man to his tent, we will now see how those northern cows will trespass.

silently waiting for my ban

Some yeeb.o fools will still come here and tag the Yoruba f00ls. Igbo.o leaders have taking cowardice to another level by their silence. South south leaders are no exception. These are the so called people that want regionalism/fiscal federalism.

Now, all the Southerner regions have a good case for restructuring this country or even breaking up, but they're all keeping quiet as if all is well. Thumbs up to the Yoruba leaders for not behaving like the cowards that the SE/SS are.

Arm yourselves Edo people. Oshomole cannot use cultists to rule you as an emperor. I learnt he now owns the Edo state board of internal revenue. APC thieves

Fani Fvcktard Kayode- are all Fulanis criminals

It is a shame that the Governors of Benue and Plateau states whose people had been massacred by these blood-thirsty Fulanis are part of the 19 northern governors that issued the press statement. Are they not?

Another Epic article by FFK.

Very revealing indeed.

These Northern governors can talk trash eh. I wonder how we ended up with people so bereft of sense of reasoning as leaders. They lack any iota of diplomacy!

So arrogant, inhuman and trashy!

But bia, is it just me or FFK listed only PDP members as representing a moderate and sane disposition and who have nothing to do with the hegemonist or religious agenda of the bigots and the hardliners? Hmm

It doesn't matter who the fulanis have attacked.... Every SE/SS should at least buy a sharp cutlass and keep in ur house... If you rely on security agencies, one or two of ur family members would be dead by the time these security men get to ur house(that's if they even show up ).... In all, let's adopt true federalism so that each region can decide their own fate .

mumu that i support buhari doesn't mean i should keep silent when he is not doing the right thing - do i look like a zombie to you??

You obviously aren't a zombie. Kudos.

Nigeria is too toxic for a nation that wants to develop.

Even though I don't like FFK, the man can make a lot of sense sometimes. I urge my fellow Igbos and Igboids, from Igbanke in Edo state to the Umu-Ezeokha people in Benue, from Abi people in Cross River to Ikwere in Porthacourt. Let's join hands and get out of Nigeria as the "Greater Igbo confederation". The other minorities can choose to come along or stay in Nigeria at their own peril. We have all it takes to be a great nation without having to pander to whims and caprices of the Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani. Two groups who are united in in the political and economic subjugation of everyone else. Unite and say "no" to this mad house created by Lord Lugard called Nigeria. Say no to Hausa/Fulani hegemony!
Say yes to freedom! May God bless all those who have managed to escape the colonial and mental slavery called "one Nigeria"

Fools every where, keep arguing and call yourselves different names, the enemy is already within.......

Insightful.

This is unacceptable. Such reckless arrogance and callous insensitivity does not serve them well and neither does it engender peace and reconciliation in our country. Instead it is provocative and insulting and it can only lead to a greater degree of alienation and more misunderstanding.
Sadly the 17 southern governors could not even muster the resolve to organise their own meeting and respond to the slur.
Meanwhile the people of the south are still grieving and suffering immeasurable pain as a consequence of the gratuitous violence and evil that we have been subjected to at the hands of these murderous Fulani herdsmen over the last ten months.
We are still mourning our dead and indeed all the innocent and defenceless souls, including women and children, that were murdered in cold blood in Enugu state just a few days ago.
The truth is that as long as those that represent the Fulani militants and herdsmen continue to try to justify or rationalise their beastly behaviour and threaten the south there will be people like Mr. George Akinola who will respond with the sort of rhetoric that he has expressed in this contribution.
There would also be far more than mere rhetoric and this, more than anything else, saddens me because I am a man of peace and I deplore violence.
Yet you cannot expect people to sit by silently and watch their loved ones and kith and kin being slaughtered like christmas turkeys and sallah rams on a daily basis by a bunch of uncouth, vulgar and unlettered barbaric beasts who are suffering from some kind of vampiric blood lust and who are plagued and afflicted with a cult-like supporter of APC syndrome.
It would be most unwise for the Fulani leaders and indeed the leaders of the north to ignore such sentiments and dismiss them with the usual contempt.
It is important that the Fulani militants and herdsmen are reigned in and that they stop killing southerners and occupying our land.
It is important that the Buhari administration stops encouraging and covertly supporting them in their mass murder and savage butchery.
It is important that the greater and wider agenda to conquer the south, to take our lands, to dominate and islamise our people and to discredit, destroy, jail and kill all vocal and credible southern leaders that have opted to stand up against them be brought to a halt.
It is important that the master plan to subjugate the people of the south to perpetual bondage and slavery at the hands of the Fulani be stopped.
It is only when that happens that we can guarantee lasting peace in our nation. It is only when this is done that people like Mr. George Akinola and all the other young rising southern stars will stop saying the sort of things that they are saying.
It is only when that happens that they will stop speaking and reflecting the minds of millions of southerners who are fed up with what is going on in our country and who are prepared to stand up, challenge the powers that be, break the yoke of bondage and slavery and fight for their freedom.
Permit me to end this contribution with the reaction of Afenifere, the leading Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, to the insults of the 19 northern governors.
On 1st May 2016 the Sunday Vanguard Newspaper reported as follows:
The Yoruba group, which spoke through their National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, told Sunday Vanguard: “It (the northern governors’ position) is a sign of unfeeling, uncaring for any group today to come out and say that those who have been causing problems and killing people in the Middle Belt and the South are not Fulani herdsmen. They have killed in Agatu land, Enugu; a traditional ruler was killed in Delta State; they killed Chief Olu Falae’s guard and also kidnapped Chief Falae himself. For some people to gather and call themselves northern governors, and have no sympathy for lives than to be defending the Fulani herdsmen, shows clearly that it is a tragedy of monumental proportion to be in the same country with these elements. You also begin to wonder if the blood of human beings runs in their veins because anybody that has human blood running in his veins will not come and say that Fulani herdsmen are not responsible. What nonsense.”
The Afenifere spokesperson went on: “I think the northern governors should bury their heads in shame. I do not think they are fit to be in the comity of civilized human beings. If the attackers are not Fulani herdsmen, where have they struck in the North-West? Why are their activities only in the Middle Belt and in the South? That is the question these northern governors should answer. When militants were blowing up pipelines in the South-South, were they not called Niger Delta militants? Do they want us to call them Yoruba herdsmen?”
As always Afenifere has done the yoruba, and by extension the entire south, proud with their courageous and timely words and intervention. They have spoken for every single one of us. Let us hope that the northern governors and the murderers that they seek to defend get the message.
Let us hope that they can purge themselves of the unwholesome and denigrating contempt that they clearly have for the people of the south before it is too late and before the whole damn nation explodes and breaks into a thousand pieces.

For once I agree with FFK. I think gun ownership should be legalized in this country. When something threatens me, my family and my property, I have a legitimate, God-given right to defend myself. #IstandwithEnugu

Rearmament is the answer. Fulani herdsmen are terrorists that must be stopped.

Fani Fvcktard Kayode- are all Fulanis criminals

One way or the other, they're all criminals... Until they stop supporting and sponsoring the carnage being perpetrated by their militia in the South. To the eternal glory of God, Nigeria is on the brink.
