How on earth some criminal interests have been able to manipulate many ppl in Nigeria to hate herders baffles me.

Before one can make statements about a group of ppl there should be at least some fundamental understanding of their culture and customs. Fulanis have always been straightforward and genial folk. I remember watching Werner Herzog's piece on the Wodaabe fulani' herdsmen of the sun' when I was in college for a films studies class and the general 'happy go lucky' attitudes displayed by the subjects. Now we need to understand that they are in a perpetual fight with nature. Esp, against the background of desertification. That same doc had a similar issue. They were moving from somewhere in Niger Rep to another part in order to survive. Burning grass by Ekwensi had the transhumance theme as well against the backdrop of resources.

Fulani external relations like other groups has had its ups and downs. However in their case they have always left the area better than they met it. Look at the hausa land of the sarkin gargajiya and the hausa land of today with its legacy of the Sokoto Caliphate. The latter was an improvement in every feature.most notably order. Even ppl in maradi, zinder and co today that are descendants of the old kings have come to accept it as fact. never ceasing to associate themselves with thei Fulani former-conquerors.

Communities have not been too welcoming to the herders because of a phantom fear manufactured in the media. not that herders are without sin, but what have they done that you have seen and can prove to be herders?!
Apart from the false reports being shared up and down. Election is next year and it is not your whatsapp groups that will win on that day. It is the 6 plus million votes already guaranteed from Lagos, Kano, Rivers and other strongholds.

Today Buhari is President. A Fulani man who is dealing with corruption without ethnic coloration. Nigerians most notably fromt he SE, SS and these days even SW have decided to attack him. Let me ask you ? Can you defeat BABA IN AN ELECTION!?! Are any of your elders or politicians of superior electoral appeal or value ? i know that answer already. please desist from jumping on this herdsmen critique train. We can see thru it. very clearly. Let the IGP handle the issue. let him do what he has to do. IG Idris is working really hard. That is a fact!
We have proof to back it up.

Your condition is terrible, I pity what you are passing through and I wish we all on Nairaland can contribute some reasonable amt of money to have you brain checked. How can you be playing PDP and APC politics with genocide committed by these herdsmen. If you type this rubbish again the pains of those killed will befall you and whoever you ever cared for... Ode!

We know your type. We know ur mission. What about innocent fulanis dying ?

Thank you for having the courage and integrity to muse this.
Not many people do this, so many people yapping and blabbing are worse than cows, they suffer from acute herd mentality, they follow trend, but this time trend blinded by crass socio-economic dispositions coloured by religious and ethnic bigotry.

I believe in Buhari, I believe in Nigeria.

Am sure it is PDP that also told the Ghana army to shot and kill the evil terrorist Fulani herdsmen?

Your lies can no longer work

He is a yanmiri, they are beyond redemption.

Pls pray for the OP...

Those are communal clashes. A veritable by-product of resource conflict. No qualms with the Ghanaians if indeed those herders were criminals. Actually to extrapolate this one sample to our countrymen is the real crime here. There's always been clashes in Nigeria. Why Is it so big now ? You cannot tell like with boko and militancy, issues going out of hand are not without endorsement ? There's something deeper. Ppl can see thru it.

So an ordinary communal clash will result in the Ghanaian army taking a drastic decision on shooting only the fulanis? Why didn't they order shot on sight on the other culprits in the communal clash?

In Ghana fulanis have no backing. Unluckily they are at the mercy of whatever ethnic game is being played. In Nigeria they are more visible. If not same thing that happened in Guinea might happen to them here. It is so easy to blame them. Pick out a group and just throw blame. It is sad man. Very sad.

Now you are saying what everyone is saying.

The fulani terrorists in Nigeria have backing to carry out their atrocities.

So how does this relate to pDP and you painting the fulani herdsmen as saints?

You r choosing to interprete what u want. They are the stick man. Just like the game played against Igbos in the sixties. Or the game played against Jews in Europe for centuries. The same exact phenomenon that is manifested many times without number, when ppl want to latch onto a widespread group all the problems and frustrations of society.

Backing in the sense that at least there are able fulanis here to come to their aid. Like Israel is for the Jewish cause. Why choose to just accuse ppl ?

Keeping islam under wrap
Islamazation agenda
Book boys or herders na the same agenda

Like I keep saying.. PDP is never an option again in Nigeria.

They can fool their gullible Ipob supporters and some few sellouts in South West with herdsmen killings.

Right thinking Nigerians like myself knows the "herdsmen" crisis has political undertone now that we have a year to go before 2019 elections.
God will surely expose all of them.
