Fulani don kill pass BokoHaram self

How to spot a Fulani Herdsmen

While you may believe that everyone moving cattle through Nigeria is a Fulani, you're only endangering yourself by not knowing the difference.
The ones carry the cattle with AKAs are typically not Fulani. They are hired by Fulani oligarchs or are slaves (common in their culture) you will know so because they're darker, shorter, and have different facial features than the Fulani who have a generally consistent look to them.

These guys are more dangerous because they're most likely takalawas, mercenaries or slaves from others countries.


If you look at Buhari (who is even mix), Sanusi, Yar Adua and El Rufai you know there's a strong difference between the people you're seeing on the ground and the actual fulani.

Occasionally you'll see real fulani herdsmen. Their women are the ones that beg on the street and their kids the ones that will beg you in your language.




The actual fulani look distinct and similar. they usually have a long narrow face, beady eyes, yellower skin, always skinny/boney, lean, with a large nose that's often more pointed than the average person in Nigeria (because they're not from here). The more pure they are the more of these features you'll see. It's also important to note that they have consistently large bulbous foreheads that aren't as prominent in for minsed ones.

Their hair is almost always covered but as you see from their kids on the street it's looser than Nigerian hair.

Why this is important
The influx of the darker group tells me that they don't have the numbers to support their genocidal agenda in Nigeria. It's obvious that they're trying to kill and carve out of living space for themselves in the eastern middle belt from the killing map above. This living space is for the lighter group i described, not the darker ones you're seeing. They're you're equivalent of hausa gatemen in the east (and might actually be real hausa). The ones that are domesticated like Buhari, Sanusi and el Rufai are all very mixed but I can assure you these are the real owners of these herds and the ones killing are doing what they're instructed to do but richer more powerful owners. They're in essence watching over and clearing space for the lighter ones to settle because the Fulani have no real home in Nigeria or anywhere in west africa other than Futa Jallon where they're form.

Let us all say no to jihad.

They people are not really our enemies, but are here to bring out the best out of us, Nigerians. We are too relaxed and over comfortable.

^I agree with you. how the majority of people live in a warzone like Nigeria, unarmed and unaware that something can happen to them is beyond me.
