What part of the country specifically belongs to this Fulani men?
Their state, their local government?
Why can't their wives till and cultivate their land so it can produce enough to feed these animals?

Why don't they have ranches like modern day farmers and buy hay and feed for their cattle?

Why can't they be called to order and made to face justice and punishment for their atrocities?

Why is the 'murder in defense of life and property' not a just cause when Fulani herdsmen are concerned?

When they attacked Numan two months ago, the security personnel that the case was reported to said, 'they are not Nigerians so it is beyond his power' or something along that line.

How smart is it to say a foreigner has more immunity than the indigenes?

Good question. Can BMC provide answer to this question. The issue is that when the Fulani hersmen kill people, there is no problem but when the people retaliate, ASO rock appear threathened.

I'm so pained seeing people run away from their fatherland abecause some group of people who carry sophisiticated weapons to tend cows attack them in their villages. Honestly I wish there is something I could do now to physically defend those guys no matter how costly.

Worst of it all is that the President is indifferent about this. The governors and local government authorities look so incapacitated. Well-meaning Nigerians feel less concerned because it hasn't gotten to their estates, mansions and houses. Everybody is sitting akimbo.

How long is this onslaught going to continue? Are we going to fold our hands and watch defenseless people being slaughtered like goats in their own lands?
The first gift creation gave to man was land. The bitterest of wars you'll ever fight is over your land.

But right here, we keep silent and watch people being killed and their lands being taken over by strangers including cows.

Guys don't you think this is a strategic genocide, be it religious or ethnic?
Don't you think there are wicked ulterior motives behind these attacks?

The primary reason why you have a neighbor is, to hAve someone speak up for you when you have no voice, to have someone fight for you when you are defenseless. If your neighbor keeps silent while you're being attacked, after you might have been dealt with, it will get to his turn. It is a chain reaction people!!!!!

We are all disappointing humanity by standing neutral in time of moral and human atrocities. Those guys being attacked need someone to speak up for them at least.

Guys we have to speak up so that our diversity remains intact. Agatu comes to mind. That village is a complete shadow now. It's also happening in Southern Kaduna and Adamawa. Lineages, tribes, generations, nations are gradually being exterminated.

We can't let this continue, guys we can't. My heart bleeds now. If there is anything you can do to make the cries of these people heard, please do.

With IPOB, everyone suddenly became an expert with an opinion. Restructuring was the national anthem.

But with Fulani herdsmen that is actually killing people daily, everyone is silent.


IPOB that carries microphone is more dangerous than Fulani herdsmen that carry AK-47.

All these victims of Fulani attacks can actually protect themselves (Southern Kaduna in particular) but they are handicapped when they eise to attack Governor El-Rufai who is Buhari's son will send Army there to stop them then at night the Army goes away for Fulani to attack, who do you cry to? All the country's security are headed by muslim except maybe for Navy...so you see. But God doesn't sleep, that they don't know...if they use govt to stop us " our weapon of wars are not canal"

bubu was silent about it in his new year speech too......I think there is more happening than what we see. All the government do is to unleash the military on those who walk down the street trying to speak about what they want. If you ask them anything they blame it on the PDP, I guess the PDP is to be blamed for the names of dead people on the list of appointment on agencies and parastatal

your adjective is out of place in this context."well meaning Nigerians" I thought that should mean people who wish Nigeria well, whether in politics or not, whether rich or poor, educated or not. that automatically means people who will stand to fight and do something. but here, I think you meant those in power and the gullible rich people. get a new phrase! why shift responsibilities?

You are right. Villagers get arrested when they want to defend themselves

These villagers will soon learn that the ONLY language herdsmen and security agencies understand, is VIOLENCE, and will arm themselves.

How many times have herdsmen killed soldiers and policemen and gone scot free? The fulani are going to make themselves become pariahs in Nigeria, persona non grata in most parts, and people will begin to attack them on sight.

Let your people get weapons, no matter what it takes, that's when government will respond accordingly, just watch. angry angry

If there is one thing I learned from the Fulanis herdsmen attacks over the years, it has always been a reprisal attacks. So, the question is: why are they carrying out retaliatory attacks? Until we address the root cause of the attacks and counter attacks, we will continue wailing over this violence over and over again.

I think Buhari should address the fulani herdsmen issue with the same decisiveness with which he tackled the IPOB issue because both poss threat to the sovereignty & territorial integrity of this nation.

that won't be in this regime, the customs are thoroughly searching every entry point for weapons, except if the weapons belongs to some powers that be. and You can't use locally made arms to fight the army.

He seems to have sympathy for their course and that is too bad because God will hold him accountable for his action and inaction on the deaths due to the herdsmen's activities.

Then you need to learn more. You own a farm that is well cultivated and someone drives a herd of cattle to there and eats up your crops. You come out so challenge them and all you get is gunshots and machete cuts.

“Since 1960, many attempts have been made to diagnose the trouble with Nigeria. Chief among the usual suspects have been, “tribalism,” corruption, and bad leadership. May I submit that these are symptoms, not the underlying causes; the fevers, not the malaria or typhoid parasites. Our problems are much more serious than corruption & co. They include identity crises of various kinds, a lunatic elite, cultural schizophrenia, Eurotoxification and the fact that Nigeria is not a nation but a noyau—i.e., a society of inward antagonism, one held together by mutual internal antagonism, one which could not carry on if its members had no fellow members to hate. And if we want to end the troubles of the Nigerians, we must dig deeper to find the fundamental causes.”

PMB addressed the Nation without Mentioning the Farmers/Herdsmen attack

This goes a long way to show PMB told us a BIG FAT LIE when he said "I belong to everybody but belong to no one". He belongs to the Fulanis through and through.

Due to age he struggles to hide this disgracful aspect of Him making it very obvious to Nigerians (not the BMC's Crew) that All animals equall but then some are more Equal than d others.

Its a bloody shame!!!

This is enough to make him lose the coming election not minding his popularity in the North.
