Please my people from across the country let us open our minds and stop looking at the wrong solution to a problem

Growing up in Lagos i grew up among a lot of tribes and we grew up in peace and harmony without tribalism and classism

I find it hard to believe that after how many years of grazing they all of a sudden turn criminals destroying farms and killing the owners and sometimes kidnap. I am sure you know about rustlers that attack and steal the herdsmen's cows, thereby making it necessary for herdsmen to protect their caravan of cows (Fulani herdsmen are Nomads, what the west call Gypsies that goes around in caravan and sometime they settle) so you do not expect them to stop their culture. What if the so-called killer herdsmen are actually cattle rustlers? What if the so-called killer herdsmen are the bandits killing innocent people up north disguised as herdsmen to distract us?

please i am not Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo just a Nigerian from the lost generation

your opinions are highly needed none of your opinion will be invalid

Seems you've not been following the situation, there's no doubt about them being herdsmen, most of them don't deny it when apprehended.

I have tried to follow the news as much as possible, maybe i am just in denial as i find it hard that people with legitimate source of income can go into criminality. Have you thought of it this way, that the ones caught are probably cow rustlers with a good number of cows and lie to be herdsmen?

I am not in support of any criminality but i will want the real people responsible to face firing squad even if it's herdsmen but let's be sure we are concentrating on the right people.

The OP is an insult to every sensible Nigerian. I'll rather pick beans than dignify with an argument.

They are the criminals bro,it may not be all,but 95% of them are the real criminals.

How come miyetti Allah defends all their atrocities? If they aren't the ones perpetrating the evils and wrecking havoc, how come miyetti Allah are always on their defence? No bandit has time grazing cattles into farms because they aren't interested in grazing them ,but selling them.

Secondly,grazing isn't their main objective, they use that grazing to perpetrate their evil agenda of terrorism,ethnic,and religious dominance.

If grazing is their main aim,they know how to go about it without killing,raping,and destroying peoples farms.which genuine business person will be losing cows and herders and still persist in towing that part of business?

They are perpetrating an agenda using herding as a cover.

Whether na rustlers o,or na wrestlers and bandits...all of dem na fulanis..cos rustlers are also herders.

Sorry to offend you oh sensible Nigerian with a response of a 2 yrs old child....

I am ignorant of most things and not ashamed to say because that's how some of us learn.

I just find it hard to believe that the same fulanis that I grew up with and met in Europe with very simple lifestyles will all of a sudden evolve to be criminals.

The criminals are president Buhari sultan of sokoto and the fulani governors and elites.

Herdsmen are just foot soldiers

We should not allow the innocent suffer because of crimes committed by their kinsmen or people that look like them physically.

These criminal herders might commit crime and move to another location but it's the unfortunate herder that will pay for it.

The spirit of all the farmers killed by these criminals will forever haunt the murderers

I understand your question, and it is a valid one. This is a two part problem.

One one hand, the herds men we use to know do not carry ak47. They have been infiltrated by foreigner, who are also Fulanis from Chad, Niger and Mali. These are the actual Ak47 bearing Fulanis. They do not even own cows to be sincere. Kidnapping and Robbery is their livelihood. For us southerners, we cannot tell the difference, because we see them all as Fulanis,and they both live in the forest. Hence the easy solution is for All of them to vacate our forest.

The other face to this problem is that climate change has made much of the north devoid of vegetation needed to support cattle grazing, hence, the move their cattle down south to graze... Mostly in people's farm lands. Without consideration for the host community. Every herdsman is guilty of this trespass. If the community resists them, they attack and kill.
The solution to this is to ranch their cattle up north instead of grazing

They are Fulani cattle herders because they are caught with herds of cattle. Are they rustlers? We don't know and we shouldn't care! Let the "innocent" herders like the stupid serikis fish out the evil ones. Until then, every erring Fulani man rearing cattle is a Fulani herder and a criminal

Did their criminality start in the last ten years?
If you were not in prison all these years, you wouldn't type this insult because it's an overkill for the age-long victims of killer herdsmen in the whole of middle belt.

Bolayei, how come myetti Allah defends their madness? I guess you don't know why because you spent so much time in prison.

Let me assume you are not one of those heartless fellow paid to defend killers online.

Sultan confirmed it.

Ask yourself why herdsmen are not the suspect in drug trafficking, car snatching and burglary?

I didn't see this part before replying:

Did you also find it hard to believe that Boko haram members are Nigerians and not some people disguising to distract you
since Bornu have been very peaceful for decades?

How about Yahoo boys, could some group have been impersonating our youths given that these fraudsters weren't that
numerous in the 70s and 80s?

Go and tell this to myetti Allah who always claim responsibility after every carnage.

Fulani image laundering, DOA.

Even the OPs gentle approach has failed to score any points.

We already know it's taqiya!

He's not a paid troll. Just that he spent years in prison.

some bad Igbo's,Yoruba's and Hausa's are behind the ARTROCTIC

Tinubu is that you ?

The truth is the herdsmen activities are being exaggerated but that doesn't mean those people are not causing havoc nationwide

FULANI HERDSMEN ARE TERRORISTS (HARDENED CRIMINALS) AND BUHARI IS BEHIND THEM-BY CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR-CNN.

THE SULTAN AND ALL THE NW EMIRS AND BUHARI ARE TRUSTEES AND FINANCERS OF MACBAN.
