THE National Chairman of Fulbe [Fulani] Development Association of Nigeria (FULDAN), Malam Ahmad Usman Bello, has declared the Fulani as too good to be beaten by any other ethnic groups in the country.

In what appears to be an assertion of the supremacy of the Fulani ethnic group over all others in the country, he said his ethnic group remained unbeatable and any ethnic group that fights it would be doing so at its own peril.

Bello made the remarks while speaking with Saturday Tribune in Kano on Thursday evening against the background of the national outcry against the murderous activities of Fulani herdsmen in Benue, Plateau and Taraba states and many other parts of the country.

“Take it or not, Fulanis have remained unbeatable; no ethnic group can fight us face to face. Any ethnic group that fights us will learn a bitter lesson,” the leader of the apex Fulani association in the country said.

He, however, said it was in the interest of the Fulani, which he described as “the largest ethnic group in Nigeria and, indeed, West Africa,” for all Nigerians to continue to live in peace and unity.

According to him, should a civil war break out in the country, the Fulani would be the biggest losers because they have more people than any other ethnic groups in the country.

“It is in our own interest that the country lives in peace [and for the country] to be united. If anything happens in Nigeria, we are the ones to lose because we have more people than any other ethnic groups. When you have more people, if any war occurred, certainly we Fulanis would have more dead people to record. And we are not beggars as we are equally blessed with wealth,” Bello said.

In an apparent reference to the Benue State people, he stated that if the Fulanis wanted to take other people’s land, they could have done so in the past “when these people did not know how to wear clothes.”

Tracing the origin of the Tiv, Bello said the progenitor of Tivs hailed from Katsina State and had married a Junkun woman who gave birth to those who are today referred to as the Tiv people.

He declared the name of the father of the Fulani as Muhammad Katsina-Alla who, he said, had come to the present-day Benue and married a Junkun woman and fathered the Tiv.

“If one follows the history of all peoples in the world, they migrated from somewhere. Take America for example, the Europeans migrated to America about 500 years ago. Can you then call them white American settlers? The Europeans also migrated to Australia and to South Africa with many years of struggle with the black majority to gain independence from them. Now, supposing they were majority, would you call them settlers?

“I want Nigerians to understand that wherever Fulanis settle, they always mind their business. It is wrong to refer to them as settlers because those who call us Fulani settlers are the ones to be called settlers.

“Igbos claim they descended from Jews but settled in Nigeria. Even Yorubas also claim they came from the Middle East, while Hausa people equally claim to have originated from Abyssinia, the modern Ethiopia,” Bello said.

He claimed that while Yorubas are “asking for a country to be created for them and Igbos are using arms and ammunition to try to secede from Nigeria, Fulanis, in the various places they have dominated for centuries, have never asked to secede from the country.”

He added: “Fulanis have never referred to any group as settlers but instead they have carved out places for non-indigenes to go about their normal businesses without harassment or intimidation.

“Even in Kano, Sabongari was carved out for mostly non-Muslims resident in the state. Those that went for the Second World War, when they came back, in order not to contaminate those indigenes on ground, a place called Brigade was mapped out for them to reside.

“We Fulanis welcome others but, unfortunately, Fulanis, despite being the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, in West Africa as a whole and perhaps even on the continent, we do not discriminate.”

Is it your fault? I blame your grand patron. He will cease to be president of Nigeria one day, then you will know if you and your cows are worth the lives of Nigerians.

.

This man must have forgotten the Osogbo war of 1870 & Jalumi war of 1878 in which the Fulani miscreants who thought of themselves as an army were comprehensively defeated and brutally massacred by Ibadan army [just one part of the whole Yoruba army] which stopped their foolish advent into Yoruba lands and put them in the background of the 19th century Yoruba warfare and diplomacy.

This people must have forgotten how Ibadan army went as far as Offa to break the Fulani grip on the town and would have marched on to Ilorin if the ‘Yoruba’ out there who had already found comfort in playing the role of the conquered and 3rd fiddle to the Fulani and Hausa requested for the help.

They will think Ibadan, Abeokuta, Ekiti armies of earlier centuries have changed until they trigger their descendants and willing Yoruba spread across the region to take up arms against them.

If they rely on importing their uncivilizaed band from across West Africa, Yoruba will readily open the border to Yoruba in Republic of Benin, Togo, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Brazil, Cuba and the Caribbeans.

God can and He will surely do soon.

See the insult Tivs have brought upon themselves because they sacrificed senseless lives to keep Nigeria One for the Fulani to take over

It is finished, Voting this administration is the worst thing we did.
Buhari Must Go #BMG

...It is only in Nigeria you can say this rubbish. Was it Mali where you have more population, but never allowed political power? I need to cross check...How come you have more population in Nigeria?

Its well with our soul, they are justifying d killings right, after buhari tenure u people we account for all this mess

Ti iya nla ba gbe ni shanle Keke a ma gun ori eni. It is not this guys fault it is the fault of we southerners that have refused to act but keep respecting the rule of law. What audacity, he is even educating us on who our progenitors are. What an insults, such audacity

The Fulani have been defeated twice already firstly by the Igbo in the Sokoto Caliphate|Akagbe debacle. Why these jackasses do not ask themselves why the silly emirates did reach Igbo-Eze or Nsukka? Secondly, though the Yoruba lost considerable acreage to Sokoto Caliphate, yet they were able to stop marauding Sokoto Caliphate thugs somewhere in the present Oyo State through help of Ndigbo.

Laughable.

Instead of all these chest beating by various ethnic groups in Nigeria which its constant result is bloodletting, why not we break this unholy marriage. I say this because any nation that continues to shed innocent blood will never go unpunished.

Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.

Why is everyone laying claims to Nigeria.
Please sell this country and give me my share make I move on .

Y0ruba:


Laughable.

Read Nigerian history with apt attention especially where the emirates began and stopped. Many Yoruba enclaves where under the authority of the emirates. Ask yourself bearers who where the mercenaries that helped to stop the Sokoto Caliphate in Ogbomoso.

no one can defeat them because bubu is thier grand patron...

I think this country was built to fail. The fact that we are too heterogeneous in actions and thoughts, that a people brag about defeating another people, in one country, is a testament of our difference.

We are too heterogeneous and this type of speech is not really bad in a heterogeneous setting. No need to curse the guy because we will say the same thing when posed with threats of race preservation.

If we saw ourselves as one, or even try to be one, such words will not exist in our lexicon. I'm not against tribalism, that is, love for and preservation of your tribe. There is nothing wrong with it.

He's right. Fulanis have remained unbeatable. They roll religion into tribal identity and get soldiers on two fonts. One. The non-fulani confused Muslim who defends them. Two. The Fulani Muslim. That's genius.

We don't want this now, people should be careful about statements they make.

As for Fulanis face Ghana, they have already defeated you guys.

Dont deceive yourself, you are not invincible. You will roundly defeated. What Kanuris are to Boko Haram is what Fulanis are to Herdsmen Terrorist. The ancient competition between the Kanuris and the Fulanis is now tearing the country apart. Historical analysis suggest that Boko Haram and Fulani Militia will confront themselve to thier death.

So Igbos that were still butt nekkid in the 20th century were the mercenaries?

This is why igbos and Fulanis can never be together, cos we've known their plans for too long.

They've successfully divided us into bits and pieces South South and South East. So it's easy to come and claim resources in bayelsa and Port Harcourt. Our situation with the Fulanis will always be the situation of Israel and Palestine. We no go gree them no go gree

[/s]Trash, the only thing that is allowing you is that others do not wage war against you. Killing people on their farmland, killing old men, women n children early in the morning or at the middle of the night is when they are not prepared is what you think will make nobody defeat you. You people arw coward, if you are truly brave, come out during the day on the street and not farmland amd face the youth. Useless murderes terrorists.

The only reason some of us are going at the Fulani man is because of his distortion of historical facts which, sadly, the Ibo man is doing also.

Y0ruba:

So Igbos that were still butt nekkid in the 20th century were the mercenaries?

When your forbearers were on the run heading southward and in the process forfeiting lands to the Caliphate, Ndigbo were defeating Sokoto Caliphate at any given battle. Yari.ba were living under the rocks until British invited the Sierra Leoneans to assist in brushing up the Yari.ba peeps.

Please take you high horse crap to somewhere else. Most Yari.ba land and people came under the authority of the Sokoto Caliphate via Emirate. There is no inch of Igbo land under the authority of Sokoto Caliphate.

This is the kind of northern elites you.produce wgen Jamb cut off marks is 35.. Educated illiterates that knows no history

Igboland was very obscure at that point in history. Oyo or the Benin would have taken it first.

all i see is abandoned property part 2 i dont know if it is fulanis or yorubas that will abandon property , most likely yorubas that will losse lagos to fulanis , fulanis dont have any fixed property to loose.

They type of hollow politics that some people practiced in thsi country is about being served them by karma himself , simple

If this isn't a threat masquerading as what, then I'll be dammed. The speaker forgot to mention that the fulanis are cowardly fighters who kill women and children.at night. U would like to see them battle it out with the jukuns and tivs one on one,
