Give Us Sambisa Forest, We Don't Need RUGA - Fulani Herdsmen by wiseloaded(m): 6:15pm On Jul 06, 2019
After the suspension of the RUGA settlement, Alhaji Abdullahi Bodejo, the National President of Miyetti Allah Kautel Hore socio-cultural organization, has appealed to the Federal Government to give them Sambisa Forest for relocation.

Alhaji Bodejo said that the Fulanis never asked for RUGA settlement in the first place, stated that the facilities for carrying out their cattle business must be provided for them to relocate. The SUN report

“Whether Sambisa or anywhere, the Fulani can stay. The Fulani people do not fear Sambisa or any forest.

The Fulani are ready to stay anywhere there is bush but number one is that there must be water which their cows can drink and there must be grasses for their cows to eat.

If Sambisa has all those facilities, you do not need to introduce it to the Fulani; they would go there and herd their cows.

If you see any place where the Fulani do not go to, it is because such a place does not have water and grasses for the grazing of their cows.

All the places like Enugu, Benue and Taraba, if Fulani don’t go there to fertilize their land, nobody will go there to farm.

The Fulani have settled in many places including the Federal Capital Territory before the farmers came there.

So, if the Federal Government could introduce the Fulani to the Sambisa forest, we are ready to go there. I will be the number one person who will go there.

Nobody requested for Ruga settlement in the first place. The Fulani already have their Ruga.

What is the meaning of Ruga? Is it not a place where you have the Fulani houses?

So, we already have Ruga but I do not know why all the confusion about all the issues concerning the Fulani in this country.

This is because we have grazing reserve areas and people are not talking about it.

They initially talked about the cattle colony and from there, they now started talking about Ruga.

They said they wanted to settle the Fulani in one place but did anybody tell them what they wanted to do?

Nobody had any meeting with them on the issue of Ruga but I noticed that there are now desperate people who claim to be Fulani leaders by all means.

You can imagine, for instance, a Fulani man who has about 300 cows and nobody told him that they want to settle him in one place and suddenly, you started hearing about Ruga on the TV, radio and social media.

See how innocent Fulani people are being chased away in the South East, South South and other places as if they are not Nigerians.

What caused these things is the issue of Ruga but the Fulani being chased away do not even know about the Ruga policy.

Even we the Fulani leaders did not know about the Ruga policy.

We did not know any plan for that by the Federal Government or the Ministry of Agriculture.

I have cows for instance and they are staying in Ruga but we have a problem with the cattle routes.

If they are serious, let them come and discuss with the real Fulani leaders and not those who claim to be Fulani leaders and they go behind to collect bribe and speak for our people.

How do you think you can settle the Fulani in one place?

How many factories from the cow value chain do we have in this country now?

If you say you want to put the Fulani in one Ruga settlement, how can you put for instance about 10,000 cows in one place? Do you want to kill the cows?”

I see 2 factual inconsistencies here for One

"The Fulani have settled in many places including the Federal Capital Territory before the farmers came there" is a pure lie, scientific data puts the Funali migrating south with the desertification of the Sahara into West Africa, while the Berbers went North and we have reasons to believe that before west Africa got so desertified, some Funali were living North enough to be Mercenaries for the Roman Empire. After this they migrated to the Sene-Gambian area and Guinea area, where they mostly kept their nomadic life style, till the 1800s when they started migrating west eventually reaching Northern Nigeria and would in a few generations, conquer first the Hausas, who they will mix with till today where it is sometimes difficult to tell them apart, and then conquering the rest of Northern Nigeria to form the Sokoto Caliphate. This is recorded in the Hausa and Sokoto histories, other evidence for this is that the Hausa Origin myth included all other Major/Large Neighbouring peoples as Banzai Bakwai (Bastard Hausa), such as the Nupe, Jukun, Yoruba, Gwarri and a city that has heavily Kanuri influence, with the only people left out being those below the joint of Niger and Benue whom they would have known little about, the presence of Ancient states named after the Fulani such as Great Fulo, Futa Jallon, Fula Tarro all existing in the Sene-Gambian area and Guinea area, with all pre-colonial Funali states located in the Niger-Nigeria region all post dating Sokoto Caliphate

"All the places like Enugu, Benue and Taraba, if Fulani don’t go there to fertilize their land, nobody will go there to farm" Also false. we know that farming in Nigeria has been long from evidence from the Ile-Ife, Igbo Ukwu and Nok finds, to name a few, the youngest of which is over 1100 years old, even looking at other African and Eurasian peoples, if anything it is the opposite, as Nomadic peoples such as the Fulani are nomadic in the first place because their initial lands don't support food crops, only grass, which to make use of u need animals to eat, which you then eat, the reason why they don't stay one place with these animals is because the animals quickly over graze, so go are constantly on the move to avoid over grazing being issue, so when ever Nomads go to Settled areas they don't fertilize the land as much as they overgraze and destroy it, that's why settled communities tended to be distinct from their Nomadic Neighbours and Also, Cow manure isn't potent enough to support our large population, but artificial manure is and it is what farmers tend to use, or a mixture.

What these statements have shown me is what these Herdsmen use to Justify their invasions
"We de fertilize their land so we get right to allow our cow chop their farm"
"Them de chop our cow meat so them suppose allow our cow chop their farm"
"Them thief the cow we i de use make money and because i de use cow make money e de more important dan person"

This is the only logical thing I've seen from fulani since the Ruga settlement started. I agree with this idea much better than forcefully taking properties that isn't yours.

Katsina is pure Hausa with zamfara. They forcefully took over the land from the real owners.
Hausa people have woken up from sleep and fighting to claim their ancestral lands back that's why we hear news of bandits and whatever the federal govt want to call it everyday.

As their base in the north is on fire,they have to look for other places to occupy.

They will be anhiliated in due time.
The north are waking up gradually and the south is morally supporting them without knowing it.
Look at benue, who will ever believe that they will fight for themselves one day.

Their worst mistake is trying to occupy the south. They thought because they are in control of the government everybody will just chill for them.
The market women and mothers have not started their own protest down south. They are still observing their men.

That's when the idiots will know that the world is following this case.

The essence of RUGA is not truly to get grazing land for cattle.

The agenda of RUGA is to use it as a pretext to annex the land of other people and gradually exterminate them while protecting and preserving Fulani territory elsewhere.
