Now this thread is not meant to exonerate the Fulanis of the crimes they commit but I can't help but notice a consistent effort to amplify crimes (sometimes alleged) by Fulanis.
Thus u see headlines like;

Fulani armed robbers arrested in ogun (Neva mind the fact that they might even be kanuris, gwaris etc)

Fulani heardsmen attack village (even though that particular conflict had been ongoing btw farmers and herdsmen, but a sensational 'fulani' twist is given to the story as if they appear out of thin air)


Hausa/Fulani attack Lagos (you would think only Hausa and Fulanis make up majority of northerners living in Lagos)

And a host of other stigmatising headlines. When armed robbers are caught who are from the south the caption would be "SUSPECTED armed robbers arraigned" or when berom youths attack muslims while praying on eid day, the best u get is "UNKNOWN armed men SUSPECTED TO be hoodlums attack Muslims"

What's the essence of this bias? And what are the motives ?

unless you are telling us we now have yoruba nomadic herdsmen or berom nomadic herdsmen, the fulanis are quite doing the painting themselves

Let me see.....could it be because if the massacre of innocent youth corpers in predominantly Fulani areas after the 2011 elections in which Buhari, a prominent Fulani prince lost woefully Perhaps.

Could it be because of the long history of mass murder, rape, pillaging and bestiality by hordes of people positively identified, time and again by survivors of the carnage as Fulanis? Maybe.

Could it be because the Fulanis seem to think Nigeria and its peoples belong to them, and they can therefore trample any farm, destroy crops and mutilate human beings in the name of cattle rearing Could be.

I think it's mostly because the Fulanis do a fantastic job of painting themselves as a demon-possessed, bloodthirsty people, always looking for the next opportunity to commit genocide against their fellow human beings. Look at the recent happenings in Ketu.

We don't need the media in Lagos to tell us that their time here is up. Watch as we begin the cleansing of Fulanis from Lagos. Mark my words. By the end of this year, the only Fulanis in Lagos will be the dead ones in the mortuary or mass graves. They've had it coming for a long time now!!

I tink fulanis r nt suppose 2 liv in d town

largely we see people from the north in the south as hausa/fulani.

The Fulani/Hausa are barbaric savages. I hate them. They're the reason Nigeria must divide.

olayinka1987: The Fulani/Hausa are barbaric savages. I hate them. They're the reason Nigeria must divide.

nigeria must be divided because it's a failed state.

No ethnic group is better than the other in this senseless situation.

Good news. The Fulani being talked about are not as 'noisy' as the noise-makers wagging their tongues and wasting their inks on or off the www. Why bother? At the end of the day, na machete go make the real noise. Let them be please.
