Founder of the Oodua Peoples Congress, Frederick Fasehun, has described the destruction of Chief Olu Falae’s farm in Akure by cattle belonging to Fulani herdsmen as an embarrassment to the Yoruba race, while also calling on the people of Yorubaland to defend their territories.

The farm of Falae, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, was destroyed barely two weeks after the herdsmen kidnapped him and detained him in the bush until a ransom was paid, releasing after four days.

Fasehun, who spoke at the Yoruba Summit in Ibadan on Thursday, said Yoruba’s patience with the Fulani herdsmen, who he accused of killing and raping their hosts, had been exhausted.

He therefore called for a radical approach to curb the deadly activities of the herdsmen.

Fasehun added, “We can no longer continue to preach patience when our guests are disrespecting our territorial integrity. As it is, the territorial integrity of the Yoruba race is at risk.  This is the time for the Yoruba people, especially the youth, to stand up and defend their nation.

“We do not have to depend on the Fulani herdsmen cattle when we have goats and chicken here. If it is confrontation, we are prepared to confront these people. Enough is enough.

“These killing, kidnapping and raping by these people on our land must stop. When violence confronts violence, we will achieve peace. We have been preaching peace for 55 years but peace has not been sustained.”

While saying there was still room for dialogue, Fasehun said the visitors must learn to live with their hosts in Yorubaland.

He stated, “I believe in dialogue but it must have an end. In Oyo State during Lam Adesina era, the present President of the country, Muhammadu Buhari, came to Ibadan to complain to the governor that his people, the Fulani herdsmen, were being confronted by the indigenous farmers.

“Now that Buhari is the President, the Fulanis had the courage to traverse the entire land space from the North to kidnap Falae in a corner of Nigeria. How much patience do you want 50 million Yoruba people to have again? Nigeria belongs to all of us. The invasion must stop. We should inform those who are violating the integrity of our people to stop.”

At the event, which was attended by prominent Yoruba elders, leader of the OPC, Gani Adams, blamed the invasion of the Fulani herdsmen on disunity in Yoruba land.

He said, “We lost Yoruba unity because we disregard the strength of our language. We only react, we are never prepared. The issue is beyond Falae; unless we address it quickly. We must put politics aside and we must restructure Nigeria on the basis of true federalism.”

............... But the question is 'Who will bell the cat'?!

Orue na omume!!!

Who made the all forgotten OPC the Yoruba Media personnel?

I can vividly remember Oke-Ogun treatment of these wanderers.

Another massacre awaits them. Even Buhari will not be able to save them.

Their brothers will never over steps their boundaries again after the Idi Araba and Shagamu samples. The same way some people were cut to size in Ajegunle.

Also, the same way we made a budding republic turned to an online federal republic at Ore.

Be slow to act, but act swiftly and deadly when the set time for the response has come.

Now is the time for the fulani wanderers. I just hope no one will sing the usual song of genocide when the repercussions of their actions hit them, like they did in 2000

Abegi jooor, when yoruba guys kidnap lecturers in ekiti state university we all kick against it and we brought the prapatractous to justice. We should also join hands and condemne the crime not just the region.

We should learn hoe to accept each other , everything shouldn't be political

I just hope that anarchy won't creep in into this shaky country of ours...

Operation bring down the zoo!!!!

Way to go! Those barbarians can only be deterred by a show of excessive force.

Yawn, noise makers

Hmmmm. Installation of another Islam Chief in West loading.

Less i forget, make plans against their normal massacre cos dat will definitely come asretaliation to ur planned confrontation. Of course part of that plan will be to carve out a particular area for them in Ondo where they will gather to install another Imam abi an Emir.

I bet you, no one cares anymore. This country was never built on a good or solid foundation anyway.
The herdsmen from hell need to be made to understand that the human capacity for violence is evenly distributed and much stronger when it borders on issues of survival and self-defence.

Thank you sir

OPC should show Fulani heardsmen or the Tsetsefly and leeches what stuff they are made of. Show them the Agbekoya style may be that will let them know that bilokoharam is kindergarten.
