Wat r u insinuating? dat d herdsmen exist only in stories

fiizznation:
The entire Fulani herdsmen attacking a community for no just reason doesn't make an iota of sense. Furthermore, I was able to identify the major grazing fields for the Fulani cattle in Nigeria. And the southeast is not on that list, meaning Fulani herdsmen rarely take their cows to the eastern part of this country. Borno state is the number one grazing destination for Fulani herdsmen. So I challenge anybody from Enugu or southeastern Nigeria to just show me one picture of Fulani herdsmen grazing in their lands.

You show the true marks of education. The ability to take a position based on research and not Mob psychology. Well done!

Klamour:


I'm trying so hard not to sound abusive.

First, you don't know anything about the village, town and LG attacked. There's nothing like NIBA UZO which your research was anchored on.

The place attacked is 15 mins drive from my house and its UKPABI NIMBO, UZO-UWANI LGA, ENUGU STATE.

Uzo-Uwani has the highest concentration of Fulani settlements in the whole of Enugu, I dare to say SE.

Uzo-Uwani is a farming destinations with arable land, flushed with grasses for the cattle.

Uzo-Uwani is the largest producer of rice in Enugu State, with the famous Ada Rice Farm (Adani Rice).

I have personally had an encounter with the Fulani herdsmen some years back at my own backyard, destroying our cassava farms. We banned them from our community.

It's not hard to identify herdsmen when you see them, even without the cattle. They don't look like us in any way.

The survivors know who attacked them, and they are FULANI HERDSMEN.

They treasure their cattle more than human life and are always displaying violence when you ask them to vacate your farm lands.

If they graze in your land, you need extra job tilling the land as the hoofs of the cattle will compact the soil. Uzo-Uwani soil being loamy-clay is hardened easily.

Please mister researcher, get your data well before spewing trash on social media.

DON'T ATTRACT CURSES FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR GENERATION, BUT IF YOU INSIST, THE FATE OF THE DECEASED IN UKPABI NIMBO, UZO-UWANI LGA, ENUGU STATE IN THE HANDS OF FULANI HERDSMEN WILL BEFALL YOU AND YOUR GENERATION.

SAY AMEN!!!!

Now I'm heartless just because I want to know what actually transpired in nimba community. Wow. Well get this into your head; not everybody believed whatever junky reports that your junky Nigeria press feed you, some of us do carryout our own findings to know the real issue. And I'm sorry if I sounded anti-eastern Nigeria to you. I'm not. I didn't even vote buhari nor Jonathan in the last election. I always want to know the truth of a matter before I swallow it down my throat. This is the 21st century and things are usually done in a civilize manner, and not the usual nigeria way which is sentiments,religion, region and ethnic group

Everybody knew that Fulani herdsmen kidnapped the respected elderly statesman, chief olu falae. There were pictorial and video evidences. The culprits were also interviewed. I believed that story and I know my brothers did it. The Ogun incident too came with a lot of evidences that Fulani herdsmen were involved.

But this particular nimba uzo incident is very ludicrous. The entire thing looks like some kind of acting. Fulani people don't roam around that area with their cattle(I have evidences). The reports were clashing with one another. Vanguard knew about the attack even before it happened and they didn't report it to DSS, army etc. How could 500 later 50 herdsmen attack a community without any provocation?

fiizznation:
Just like I anticipated. No proof whatever but everyone has resorted to insults. Someone even said that he just passed some Fulani herdsmen in Enugu. I mean the same Enugu that many people came here to tell anybody that cares to listen that "all Fulani herdsmen" have abdicated some few days ago. Why are people contradicting themselves for goodness sake?

Anyway why did the moderator changed the real heading of this thread? Very funny. Initially I thought some logical minds will counter my claims, but I guess I underestimated the thinking and reasoning capacity of some people. Fulani herdsmen might have committed one atrocious act or another in the past, but this latest claim that Fulani herdsmen ransacked nimba community is what I will never believe until I'm shown concrete evidence. But for the meantime, whatever anybody say is just hearsay and I will never take such reports any serious. Fulani herdsmen are not invincible for crying out loud. I'm sorry if I didn't sound like the average typical Nigerian to you people, but facts{thats if there's any}shouldnt be fictionalized

The more u try to defend yourself the more foolish u sound. U spent six hours trolling the internet and you call it a research. My final answer to you is "leave London come to the south east meet me in Owerri" that is called field research. If we don't see fulani herdsmen i will give u back the money u spent on ur flight and also pay you for wasting your time

molydonhenry:
they attackd very early in d morning and went into hiding. Its true no concrete evidence dats y they called dem suspected herdsmen.

Surely you dont know the true mark of education. If you do, then you will realise that on the spot analysis or what you may call learning by demostration is the best form of analysis, and not theoretical mumbo jumbo

fiizznation:
Suspected herdsmen!!! Now the question is; why would any "herdsmen" just wake up one morning and start killing innocent people indiscriminately even without any provocation? From this report, one can clearly see that the herdsmen and the community have never had any clash, no herdsmen/farmers clash was ever reported. I googled and studied the demography of that nimba uzo community yesterday, and I couldn't even see any place were a single cow can graze. The grasses over their were not the type of grass the average Fulani cattle will eat.

Anyway after I did my little research, I sent my work to the appropriate person. Like I always said, this "invincible herdsmen" story must be unveiled. And the truth will speak at last.

The insults are understandable.

Doesn't change the fact that evidence is required.

SE niggas should stop displaying their unculturedness everywhere on Nairaland. Fizznation put forward an argument and all you guys just want to eat him raw instead of engaging him intellectually. This is why I will NEVER SUCCUMB to the idea of SS joining SE cos you guys will always want to shout the minorities down even if THEY ARE MAKING SENSE.

On the Fulani herdsmen fiasco, I believe 95% of whatever is on the internet is untrue. I know Fulani herdsmen and I know they don't react unless provoked. I won't be surprised if the truth is that some youths in that community ganged up and killed one of the cows belonging to one herdsman and the guy with his friends came to retaliate or maybe book haram is trying to extend their terror to SE.

All in all, SE people know that Buhari is Fulani and they just want to rub the dirt on his face. Too bad cos I and many others are not buying the crap.

God bless Buhari
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

CyberWolf:
For you to request for evidence of Fulani herdsmen in SE shows that you are very sick in the head, that kind of sickness is called madness and it's only serious flogging that can cure that madness. Just hang around this thread, you will get cured.
Call your father in Nigeria here and ask him whether there is Fulani herdsmen in SE.. After getting your answer from, then you can come back let's talk!

I'm glad that your madness is really getting cured here!

Candyrain:


Even if there was any provocation why take the law into their hands? What happens to reporting to the authority?

The truth is that they are just bloodthirsty terrorists who derive some fulfillment in taking people's lives even in the slightest of provocation.

You know Fulani people take things too personal, definitely the Fulani heardsmen were provoked which led to the killings. It doesn't make any atom of sense for a Fulani headmen to wake up one morning and start killing people for no reason, definately there's always a reason for an action, which I think was the herdsmen being provoked.

rusher14:
Fizznation has spoken like an intelligent, logical thinker.

What he says might hurt but he hits home.

This is 2016. We are all chatting on mobile phones usually with embedded cameras.

He demands proof of herdsmen grazing their herds in these communities.

He claims the vegetation is not of the quality that might attract cows and sees no reason why these herdsmen would be in these communities in the first place.

Surely, we aren't barbarians in Nigeria. We cannot abandon the scientific, logical approach to problem solving.

Can we look beyond sentiments and provide proof?
