henryanna36 post:
Sevhage Literary and Development initiative; a subset of Sevhage Publishers, in conjunction with Movement Against Fulani Occupation (MAFO) put together a candle light procession and reading in honour of the kidnapped and slain indigenes of Agatu and Buruku communities in Benue state.

The sober event took place on the evening of March 23 at George Akume Hall, Local Government Service Commission, Makurdi.A number of those affected by the attacks, including Kator Hule-Ingya and Sam Baki read poems and tributes. Benue based poet, Bash Amuneni, also lost his grandmum in the recent attacks. She was first kidnapped and later found dead.

In recent years attacks on different communities in Benue state have left homesteads deserted and made refugees of indigenes who flee to Makurdi and other neighbouring towns for safety.

The conveners of the event also lit candles for victims of other violent attacks across the country.

Oh! I pity for our sycophantic and conscienceless president and leaders of Nigeria and I weep for my fellow Nigerians. We are yet to have a people's president. Imagine what happened in Agatu compared to what happened in Brussel Airport in Belgium and the whole nation of Belgium including the whole of Europe and US stood up for days now showing fraternal hood and solidarity to their people. Here in Nigeria, Your president doesn't care, won't even say a word for days now, but enjoying his trips from country to country. Even security agents and their commanders don't give a hoot. It is as if life of a Nigerian is worth less down a tissue paper.

So what is the the essence of the national anthem we sing? "arise o compatriot, Nigeria's call obey, to serve our fatherland....."
All but a scam.

On October 2nd, 2014 edition of Pointblanknews Magazine, Alhaji Aliyu Gwarzo, a prominent Fulani leader from Kano, said the following words
“when I say that the presidency must come to the North next year, I am referring to the Hausa-Fulani core North and not any Northern Christian or Muslim minority tribe.  The Christians in the North, such as the Berom, the Tiv, the Kataf, the Jaba, the Zuru, the Sayyawa, the Bachama, the Jukun, the Idoma and all the others are nothing and the muslim minorities in the North, including the Kanuri, the Nupe, the Igbira, the Babur, the Shuwa Arabs, the Marghur and all the others know that when we are talking about leadership in the North and in Nigeria, Allah has given it to us, the Hausa-Fulani.  They can grumble, moan and groan as much as they want but each time they go into their bedrooms to meet their wives and each time they get on their prayer mats to begin their prayers, it is we the Fulani that they think of, that they fear, that they bow to and that they pray for.
Some of them are even ready to give us their wives and daughters for one night’s sport and pleasure. They owe us everything. This is because we gave them Islam through the great Jihad waged by our father, the great Usuman Dan Fodio.
We also captured Ilorin, killed their local King and installed our Fulani Emir. We took that ancient town away from the barbarian Yoruba and their filthy pagan gods. We liberated all these places and all these people by imposing Islam on them by force. It was either the Koran or the sword, and most of them chose the Koran. In return for the good works of our forefathers, Allah, through the British, gave us Nigeria to rule and to do with as we please. Since 1960 we have been doing that and we intend to continue. 
No Goodluck or anyone else will stop us from taking back our power next year. We will kill, maim, destroy and turn this country into Africa’s biggest war zone and refugee camp if they try it.

Many say we are behind Boko Haram. My answer is what do you expect? We do not have economic power or intellectual power. All we have is political power and they want to take even that from us.
We must fight and we will fight back in order to keep it. They have brought in the infidels from America and the pigs from Israel to help them but they will fail. The war has just begun, the Mujahedeen are more than ready and by Allah we shall win.
If they don’t want an ISIS in Nigeria then they must give us back the presidency and our political power. Their soldiers are killing our warriors and our people every day but mark this: even if it takes one hundred years, we will have our revenge.
Every Fulani man that they kill is a debt that will be repaid, even if it takes 100 years. The Fulani have very long memories”. 

President Muhammadu Buhari himself in 2013 when he said that if what happened in 2011 during the presidential elections happens again in 2015 and he ends up losing to President Goodluck Jonathan, who happens to be a southern christian, “the dog and the baboon will both be soaked in blood”. 

Another Elder statesman of the North, Alhaji Lawal Kaita, said, before the presidential election in 2011, that “power must return to the North otherwise we (meaning northerners) would make the country ungovernable”. Jonathan went ahead to win the election and Lawal Kaita and co. went ahead to honour their word: from 2011 till 2015, making the country ungovernable they certainly did. 

These are shocking and deeply troubling utterances from these Fulani leaders and the implications of their threat-filled words are self-evident. They need no further analysis or explanation here.
They are using the Fulani herdsmen as a standing army. They are highly protected by the government in power...

This is the second time that I'm posting this comment. My handle was banned and the previous comment with the increasing 'likes' hidden by miserable bigots who think that would lessen their miseries...
