Why Any Grazing Bill Must Be Stopped: by starmonii(m): 11:39pm On May 07, 2016 |
WHY ANY GRAZING BILL MUST BE STOPPED:-
The story is told of how King Yunfa, the Hausa
Sarkin in Gobir (now called Sokoto) hosted a
Fulani immigrant called Usman Dan Fodiyo and his
group in February 1804, as a result of this and
since 1808 the whole of the northern region lost
its kingdoms and were replaced by Fulani
emirates.
King Yunfa is said to have been killed in 1808 and
the Fulani warrior (Usman Dan Fodiyo) established
Sokoto caliphate, making himself Sultan.
Gradually, other Hausa kingdoms were pillaged
and taken over by the Fulani emirs. The ethnic
groups in the core north were the first victims of
Fulani imperialism, a venture that occurred
because the people were given access to grazing
land as a result of the hospitality of the hosts.
They however failed to overrun the Bornu
kingdom, so the Shehu of Bornu remains
paramount till today!
The Afonja dynasty compromised by allowing a
Fulani warrior known as Janta Alimi to settle in
Ilorin, the Fulani guerrillas killed Afonja in 1824
And Ilorin, a Yoruba town under the Oyo empire,
fell into Fulani hands, becoming an emirate under
Sokoto caliphate till today! Even the attempts of
the O'odua People's Congress (OPC) to revert to
status quo ante and crown an Onilorin of Ilorin
became an exercise in futility.
The Yoruba warriors got wise and defeated the
Fulani jihadists in Osogbo in 1840, if this didn't
happen there would most likely have been Fulani
"emirs" as rulers in Oyo Alaafin, Ibadan, Owo,
Osogbo, Ede, Ado, and Igede Ekiti today!
If the Bini Kingdom did not fight and repel the
jihadists, they would have penetrated the Edo/
Delta region beyond the present day Edo North
Senatorial District which gave in and allowed the
jihadists to overrun & islamize them.
Along with some ignorant folk most of them are
now angling for grazing areas and a corridor
through the entire federation. These grazing
areas will in future become Fulani settlements,
later commmunities and finally local government
areas with elected officials.
If you think I am being alarmist look towards the
once beautiful and serene Middle Belt state of
Plateau.
The exact same thing happened in Jos.
Therefore, it will not be farfetched to conclude
that the Fulani herdsmen are pawns in an agenda
to overrun all towns in Nigeria! So that we will
have emirs in Owerri, Enugu, Benin, Agatu,
Abeokuta and other towns where FG creates
"grazing reserves" for Fulani herdsmen!
If Yunfa didn't accommodate Fodio and his
warlike immigrants from Futatoro, Hausa sarkins
would be ruling today in the north!
And if Afonja didn't conspire with Alimi, a Yoruba
kingdom would not have been ruled by Alimi's
offspring till today!
It is a subtle continuation of the 1804 Fulani
jihad by the fully-armed and protected Fulani
herdsmen with an age-old agenda to overrun and
Islamize the whole of Nigeria very quickly.
I will end this with what someone rightly said-
"The grazing bill is not an attempt to solve the
problem, it's a subterfuge to progress the
agenda"
It's an age-old political strategy really- ..create
a problem, come up with a "solution" that
advances the cause, and then give it a legal
backing.
Make it look like a win-win situation.
Be as wise as serpents....
Spread this message for people to be aware. Am I
an alarmist? History will judge 1 Like |
