It is happening all over again. History is repeating itself and, alas, within such an agonizingly short span of time. How often must we warn against the enervating lure of appeasement in face of aggression and will to dominate! I do not hesitate to draw attention to Volume III of my INTERVENTION Series, and to the chapter on The Unappeasable Price of Appeasement. There is little to add, but it does appear that even the tragically fulfilled warnings of the past leave no impression on leadership, not even when identical signs of impending cardiac arrest loom over the nation. Boko Haram was still at that stage of putative probes when cries of alarm emerged. Then the fashion ideologues of society deployed their distancing turns of phrase to rationalize what were so obviously discernable as an agenda of ruthless fundamentalism and internal domination. Boko Haram was a product of social inequities, they preached – one even chortled: We stand for justice, so we are all Boko Haram! We warned that – yes indeed – the inequities of society were indeed part of the story, but why do you close your eyes against other, and more critical malfunctions of the human mind, such as theocratic lunacy? Now it is happening again. The nation is being smothered in Vaseline when the diagnosis is so clearly – cancer!

Permit me to remind you that, early in 2016, an even more hideous massacre was perpetrated by this same Murder Incorporated – that is, a numerical climax to what had been a series across a number of Middle Belt and neighbouring states, with Benue taking the brunt of the butchery. A peace meeting was called, attended by the state government and security agencies of the nation, including the Inspector General of Police. This group attended – according to reports - with AK47s and other weapons of mass intimidation visible under their garments. They were neither disarmed nor turned back. They freely admitted the killings but justified them by claims that they had lost their cattle to the host community This question is now current, and justified: just when is terror? I am not aware that IPOB came anywhere close to this homicidal propensity and will to dominance before it was declared a terrorist organization. The international community rightly refused to go along with such an absurdity. For the avoidance of doubt, let me state right here, and yet again, that IPOB leadership is its own worst enemy. It repels public empathy, indeed, I suspect that it deliberately cultivates an obnoxious image, especially among its internet mouthers who make rational discourse impossible. However, as we pointed out at the time, the conduct of that movement, even at its most extreme, could by no means be reckoned as terrorism. By contrast, how do we categorize Myeti? How do we assess a mental state that cannot distinguish between a stolen cow – which is always recoverable – and human life, which is not. no comment. 75 Likes 4 Shares |

First the active policy of appeasement, then the language of endorsement. El Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, proudly announced that, on assuming office, he had raised a peace committee and successfully traced the herdsmen to locations outside Nigerian borders. He then made payments to them from state coffers to cure them of their homicidal urge which, according to these herdsmen, were reprisals for some ancient history and the loss of cattle through rustling Classic article from the erudite professor.

The Fulani herdsmen has been wronged by farmers, if not there will not be massacre.Fulani herdsmen cow provides the nation with hides,meat and milk; something of inestimable value. We must accept Fulani herdsmen in the middle belt for peace to reign. Nigerians deserves well fed cattle and livestock. Govt should clear Agatu and convert it to cattle colony and also, clear gembu and mambila for a good Fulani pasture. Just check out the skull of those people killed by Fulani herdsmen, do they look better than Cow? Why would they occupy a land where cattle are to be grazed? We need cow with correct 'tozo' down here 13 Likes 2 Shares |

El Rufai’s comment then was: No life is more important than another. Today, that statement needs to be adjusted, to read perhaps – apologies to George Orwell: “All lives are equal, but a cow’s is more equal than others.”Hell Rufai hell fire is awaiting you Hell Rufai a place in HELL FIRE has been reserved for you and your fulani herds men brother who are on your monthly payroll
The blood of innocent corpers who lost their lives by the blood thirsty mob in the North will forever hunt El Rufai El Rufai, Kwankwaso are the younger version of Buhari with their Pro Jihadist Fulani mentality and philosophy Wole Soyinka finally woken up from his slumber Buhari is a gworo chewing bastard 18 Likes 3 Shares

He is stretching things a bit. The Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram are not the same thing. While the Fulani's issue is simply economic, that of Boko Haram is religious imperialism. The herdsmen have nothing to gain from starting a full blown war with Nigerians or the government. It will be too costly and financially ruinous. They just want to herd their cattle in peace even though it means their cattle munching on people's farm crops- the source of many battles. The government should have treated this issue with an iron hand from the start. It's playing ostrich while killings occurred was inexcusable |
