Don't bother replying that he-she transvestite anymore. They have nothing ever to contribute other than wish the worst upon the Yorubas.

Is abuse of power by a military dictator (Abacha) same as ethnic bloodletting, in an elective democracy, instigated by a clearly identifiable group the entire world does not need an ICC panel to adjudge as guilty aggressors and terrorists?

God bless you.

I understand what you are saying. I have taken all the points you raised into consideration before making my statements. If the governors choose to enforce the grazing ban, how will they enforce it? To the best of my knowledge (and I stand to be corrected) Amotekun looks nothing more than an advanced vigilante group. According to intel, some of these herdsmen are ex-Boko Haram members. They have fought the armies of Niger, Chad, Nigeria and Cameroun, therefore they are battle hardened and skilled at the art of guerilla warfare (although I concede that the northern terrain is different from that of the south west, however if they have spent sufficient time in the forests of the SW it is also safe to assume that they have familiarised themselves with the terrain).

I say all these things knowing fully well that these herdsmen invasion are a part of a larger strategy at play. The Fulani have never hidden their intention to overrun the entire Nigeria and turn it into a caliphate state. They have been successful in the North West and North East of Nigeria. They have successfully infiltrated all layers and arms of government, installing themselves or persons who have pledged allegiance to them. They are skilled at the art of deception and they are very patient which is why they have lasted for this long. They took Ilorin from under our noses, no thanks to that bastard called Afonja and they have never hidden their desire to conquer the south of Nigeria.

Therefore, given all of the aforementioned, if the governors really enforce their grazing ban there is every reason to believe that this may lead to a full blown crisis and I do believe fulanis in the military and in government will wade in to support these herdsmen in one way or the other. We must be prepared for every scenario. In 1967, it is said that Awo told Ojukwu that we, Yorubas, were the least prepared for war in the event that Biafra seceded, therefore he did not join Ojukwu to secede, he was right we were ill-prepared. However, right now I do not wish to hear that this time, we have no excuses. We simply cannot and should not sit idly by watching our sons and daughters get slaughtered, kidnapped whilst living in fear in our own homeland.

I will leave you with this popular latin adage "Si vis pacem, para Bellum". It simply means "if you want peace, prepare for war".

Why do you need all these ammunitions/missile defense system for Fulani herdsmen who just play hide and seek in a coward way. Not that you are fighting a co-ordinated military of some sort so why do we need all these things you are saying?

The solution to Fulani herdsmen menace is very simple, it is government WILL to do. I’m not talking about the FG here, I’m talking about the SW governors and leaders themselves.

There is nothing stopping them from taking a bold enforceable steps of banning open grazing entirely in states across the SW and making sure they stand their ground.

Then after that, we know what will be left is to go into those forest and do a mop up operation of what’s left of the remnants in our forests and etc.

Also you systematically send these Fulanis out of the West using a well masterminded government policy of some sort. You can only implement martial law in a nation fighting war and that’s when our military guys will come in place.

But here you are still in Nigeria, not that we are currently waging full blown war against anyone. I don’t subscribe to emotions online and I prefer talking about realistic and ethical things.

Mind you, do you even think all this media coverage and voices from the SW leaders is for joke? They know what they are planning and when the results start showing, you will understand the game.

Lastly, I did not chestbeat, you said you know our history well, so you should know the SW are determined and any uprising in the West will consume the rest of the country.

Wasn’t Obasanjo worse than Abacha? Fear fear people, during coup na under bed for SB Bakare house for Queens Drive Ikoyi the coward go hide?

Alright I understand you clearly and what you mean.

I think in life, we might all have different approach to reaching a common goal.

If yours will work better than fine, and if mine will work better then fine. The goal is to stop the Fulani herdsmen menace and make the states safe.

Restructuring and the devolution of power to the state will solve some of the insecurity problems in Nigeria.

Peace be upon you brother.
God bless!

This letter is thought provoking abeg. Alaafin has spoken well and at the right time. The
kind of videos I see in circulation this days about Fulani hoodlums is worrisome.

it is an illusion, there is nothing to restructure, a Failure will always find an excuse.

Where is the police?

privaldo:
Wow, so the Yorubas have a standing Army. This is interesting I like the fact that they never allowed the military structure of their kingdom fall.

No tribe in Africa fought wars more than the Yorubas. It is a fact. There is no Yoruba town or village you'll go and won't find ' Ile Jagun' , 'Ile Balogun' , 'Ile Oluode' or their equivalents. The inhabitants of such family compounds or communities are battle hardened warriors and their descendants.

A typical Yoruba person cherishes his peace because he is aware of the price paid for it by his forebears on the battlefields. When the push comes to shove,trust me,Fulanis are no match for the Yorubas.

You see,when your Cup of iniquity is full, your folly will drag you to the wrong person. This is what is about to happen to the fulanis.

I sincerely hope that Iku babayeye's advice will not be treated with levity.

Zico5:
He will never listen. When u hear the words of elders, u must bow ur head to think deeply about it. But those animals like Femi Adeshina and Garba lawal will never allow Buhari to listen to the words of elders. His destruction will soon come like running water.

Osinbajo is still there winning and dinning as if all is well promising nigerians what he knows buhari would never deliver

ceaser:


Have you checked out Central African Republic (CAR) story? The Fulanis played the same script in CAR as they are currently playing in Nigeria. It took less than a week for the Fulani president to be dethroned by the people after the national guards were overrun.

The fulanis only have their men occupy the top position in the army, just a miniscule number and maybe like 100 officers at most. The war will be fought by the foot soldiers and a few fulanis are among those. Other regions too have their own sons occupy top positions in the army though strategically in much reduced numbers than the fulanis, but that notwithstanding you need just one man to upturn things for the fulanis.

By the time things get awry (the fulanis better pray it doesn't get to that extent and they should act right to make sure events don't deteriorate to such extent), the false security they have will collapse right before their eyes. #EndSars shows a bit of how state power (achieved by the use of police and the army) can fall within seconds when a resolute people decide to take down their tormentors.

Or why d'you think Aisha Buhari fled Aso Rock to resettle in Dubai after the #EndSars protests?

The Fulanis don't occupy only the top position in the military, they also have their kin in large amounts in the military.
The case of CAR was more of a religious situation, than one of ethnicity or tribe. Also, the situation of most of the large military hardware in their region will give an upper hand in the event of any war.
What happened during the #EndSars more of anarchy/mini revolution and not a conventional war. In the event of a conventional war, no region/tribe in Nigeria can face the Fulanis, this people have planned for this a long time ago.

Sammy07:


Well, If Biafra war was mainly between Igbo's and core Fulanis.
Biafra would won.

These Fulanis don't have the number
They don't have the brain
They don't have the strength
They don't have the money.


Abeq forget.
We are Yorubas.
We are a Major tribe that won't be treated as trash

Biafra would have won, no doubt but the Fulanis received some support.
Now, I am not talking of the British or the Soviets, I am talking of the Nigeriens, the Chadians, the Malians, and all other Fulani majority country that border Nigeria or are in West Africa. The Fulanis have the money to fund a war, that's one thing you don't understand.
This guys will always be a deciding factor in the event of any war, who will support the Yorubas in Africa if a war breaks out?

I never said the Yorubas aren't a major tribe or they can be run over easily.

Grayoso:


Don't waste your time responding to Igbos. They routinely wish the worst for the Yorubas without understanding that perception is everything in life. How others perceive you is very important.

The perception the world has of Yorubas, Fulani/Hausa and Igbos is very different. Yorubas are the most strategically and socio-economically important ethnic group in Nigeria to the Western world. This is the simple reality egoistic Igbos won't want to accept.

We can and will defend ourselves but we know we won't be deserted either, like others, because we are never the aggressors. We have never declared conflict against others.

We have never shown an oppressive, domineering, ethnic cleansing or expansionist agenda towards anyone.

We have, throughout her entire history, being Nigeria's most stable, peace-loving, tolerant and diplomatic people.

I wasn't downgrading or wishing evil to befall any tribe/region, I was only trying to be realistic. I have/hold no grudges against any tribe or region I was only trying to use facts to make a statement.
Stop trying to make it a war of tribes, when we were only analysing available data, it doesn't have to be "me against you" every time.

LegendHero:


At least they are not like Ojuku that left 3millions in agony before taking off like Usain bolt.

I’m not replying you again so don’t bother replying too.

I have better people to converse with than wasting my time on an Ibo person.

Have a nice day!

She isn't an Igbo, please go through her old posts. Please don't drag the Igbos into your arguments with her.

GeorgeTheCoder:
Yoruba muslims voted en-masse to put APC and Bubu in power because he dangled the chimera of vice-presidency before them.

No complaints, enjoy the change.

Ain't you tired of this your " Yoruba Muslims" this and that ? It's stale already ! Can't you see that the 'likes' you so much crave for 'cause of it are not just coming ?

Fulani herdsmen menace is not limited to Yoruba land alone man. You should be worried about the safety of your own people and your land too. That should be your primary concern.

Would you also blame "Yoruba Muslims" for how this small fulani herder maltreated your kinsman right on his own farmland somewhere in Anambra ?

Emekaonline:


Unfortunately for you and your likes, the Fulani rampaging is not limited to Yoruba land. Just tell me what the fulani are doing that have not been done or still not doing in the East now. And who among the Igwe has the ball to write Buhari directly to call hist attention as Alfin has just done? Please quiting that weed.

Tell me where in the SE the Fulani still has the guts to do what they are doing in the Southwest?

Did you not see their hideout burnt in the SE?

You guys should do that in the Southwest if u got balls.

What does the bolded mean please?
I think everybody cherishes their peace, and won't trade it for anything.
The Alaafin has spoken for not just the Yorubas but every other tribe that has witnessed attacks by Fulani herdsmen. If there is a thing I have learnt about humans is that they have a breaking point, and when that point is reached all hell will be let loose.
