Fulani Recolonizing Nigeria by bigbauer(m): 9:29pm On Jan 14, 2018
It is rather unfortunate that we ignored all warnings, even Pastor Bosun Emmanuel warned us, so many people did warn us, yet we ignored the reality that a leopard doesn't shed its skin.
BUHARI DECIDES TO RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA BY ESTABLISHING FULANI HERDSMEN COLONIES ACROSS THE NATION.

1) INTRO
The sun has finally set on Nigeria and as the dial of our national clock is moved back, uncertainty grips the land. Our national leaders who have repeatedly denied our
history now seek to blindfold the nation and sneak in the most preposterous agenda ever contrived in this nation. An agenda that would shackle the entire nation under the tyranny of marauding Sahel gangs congregating in colonies across the nation. We must expose it and dismantle it.
These new colonies for Fulani Herdsmen across Nigeria is a grand plan by Buhari to employ the Herdsman conflict as a cover to institute Fulani 19th century imperialism across Nigeria. Buhari hatched the plan two years ago and part of the strategy was to use the Nigerian army to drive the most devious scheme yet. When I saw the news yesterday I couldn't believe it. But what even shocked me the most was the fact that a lot of Nigerians hardly picked it up. The Fulani Herdsmen Colonies is one hundred times more virulent than the Sharia crises in 2000. You must know how it will affect your State, your Local Government Area and your village.
For example, it is possible under the land use act for the Federal Government to acquire indigenous land from Abak local Government in Akwa Ibom State, host to Ibawa Military Cantonment, and establish a host Fulani Herdsmen Permanent Urban Settlement, numbering 3,000 people? I will explain this later.

2) THE NEWS:
BUHARI APPROVES CATTLE COLONIES ( FULANI HERDSMEN COLONIES) FOR NIGERIA:
THE Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, Monday, disclosed that everything has been put in place by the Federal Government to establish cattle colonies that would solve the continued herdsmen/farmers conflict in parts of the country. President Buhari Ogbeh made this known during a two day ‘2018 Strategy Retreat’ organised by Synergos for special advisers and directors in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in Abuja, where he said facilities will be provided to take care of the herdsmen and their cattle, which they (herdsmen) have said if water and grass were provided they would not be moving with their cattle. According to him the cattle colony project will start immediately following the offer of five hectares of land each by 16 states in the country, which also President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to help the ministry with money for the project.
‘On the issue of cattle we have to start immediately, 16 states have given us land to work on. The programme is not going to be cheap. Mr President has personally informed me that if we seek help from him he will give it to us over and above the budget we have, and when that budget is released I plead with all of you to come on board to work hard to achieve results.

Winifred Ochinyabo, Senior Adviser to the minister on Special Projects and General Duties said the cattle colonies would have social amenities such as good roads, a school for the nomads’ children and health facilities. She said that agro rangers (security personnel) would also be at the colonies to help guard the animals.
3) THESE ARE NOT CATTLE COLONIES, CATTLE DON'T NEED GOOD ROADS, SCHOOLS AND HEALTH CENTRES
The statement of Winifred Ochinyabo SA to the minister says it all, "the cattle colonies would have social amenities such as good roads, a school for the nomads’ children and health facilities". It is clear that Buhari's plan is to establish "Towns", permanent new urban centres for Fulani Herdsmen in the middle of indigenous communities. It means Fulani herdsmen regarded as the 4th most deadly terrorist organisation in the world might be moving to a brand new town next to you. This is a group responsible for countless of the murders, kidnappings, car hijackings and the rape of women across the country. It is this same group Buhari intends to reward with new towns across the nation. Has anyone figured out how this herdsmen will live side by side with the indigenous population?
Conceptualising a project of this magnitude is both strange and ridiculous and one wonders if the framers thought it through. However if I am to believe the accusation that Buhari has always had an agenda to islamise Nigeria, then maybe this should come as no surprise. But perhaps we need to examine the truth behind this accusation that has hung over Buhari like an Albatross. One thing i do know Fulani Herdsmen are 100% moslem and they are governed by Sharia Law.
4) THE ISLAMISATION OF NIGERIA & BUHARI
Now, because a snake sheds its skin doesn't mean it has given up its poison. This is the bitter truth we face as a nation. We were deceived and Nigeria has walked into a trap.
In 2014 the electorates watched in horror as Tinubu adopted Buhari as the Presidential candidate for the All Progressive Congress. The same Tinubu will have to explain to the Yoruba people how new Fulani Herdsmen Colonies might soon be springing up in Ondo, Ogun, Osun Ekiti, Oyo and Lagos State. When Buhari won the primaries, panic like wild fire spread among those who knew the man's antecedent. Many things were said about him and people thought it was propaganda but now everyone can see what sounded like ridiculous propaganda was actually the truth.
They say a Leopard who wants to change his spots must wait for the darkness. But with Buhari not even the twilight can conceal the scales on his back. This man is either the most ignorant or the most dangerous man to ever lead our nation, or his both.
Now in the light of the Hausa Fulani colonies read the report below.

Buhari Calls For 'total' Sharia In Nigeria
2001-08-27 21:32
Lagos - A former military ruler of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has called for the introduction of 'total' Islamic law across the country, reports said on Monday.
Buhari, who ruled Nigeria from a coup in December 1983 to his ouster in 1985, told a seminar in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, at the weekend that the strict Islamic law code known as the Sharia should be introduced in full across Nigeria.
"I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria," Buhari said, quoted in press reports.
"God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country," Buhari said.
Northern Nigeria is mainly Muslim but southern Nigeria is mainly Christian and has led criticism of the introduction of Islamic law in a dozen northern states in the past 18 months.
Africa's most populous country has been shaken repeatedly in the past by religious unrest. In February 2000 between 2 000 and 3 000 people were killed by Christian-Muslim riots in Kaduna over the introduction of Sharia.
Call for Sharia across the country
Buhari's comments were interpreted by the southern-based papers as a call for the imposition of Sharia all across the country, even in the mainly Christian south.
"Buhari calls for Sharia in all states," was the headline of the respected newspaper The Guardian.
Buhari's comments were defended by supporters as simply a call for the full implementation of Sharia in areas where Muslims predominated.
But the comments are the second by Buhari that have courted controversy after he called earlier this year for Muslims to vote at the next presidential elections only for someone who would defend their faith.
This was criticised by the press as a call for voting along religious lines, as well as an attack on the current president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who is a Christian.
Buhari made the latest comments at a seminar organised by the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria, a newly set up body attended by northern state governments and Islamic scholars.
"It is a legal responsibility which God has given us, within the context of one Nigeria, to continue to uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly ... and to educate non-Muslims that they have nothing to fear," he said.
"What remains for Muslims in Nigeria is for them to redouble their efforts, educate Muslims on the need to promote the full implementation of Sharia law," he went on. - AFP
.........
Buhari was never called to answer to the accusation of Islamisation. Unfortunately the excitement of Change swept Nigerians off their feet, they saw in him a deliverer a man who was like the masses. How mistaken were they.
One wonders if the sudden unbridled violence perpetrated on Christian farmers by Fulani Herdsmen is not a ploy to serve a desperate nation with the dish of Fulani colonisation. Give them colonies and the violence will stop in Benue. But we are not just talking about Benue but everywhere their cold hands of death, terror and mutilation have touched - that includes Enugu, Cross River, Ekiti, Ondo, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Rivers, Bayelsa, Taraba, Ogun, Plateau, Abia, Niger , Yobe, Adamawa, Kaduna and Anambra States. Therefore next to these terrorised States are going to be Fulani Herdsmen New Urban Centres - Towns called 'Colonies'. Perhaps we need examine that word, "Colony".
6) WHAT IS A COLONY?
I have decided not make any assumptions, Nigeria was once a colony of Britain, but what is the technical meaning of the word colony because it would help us understand what the framers of the Fulani Herdsmen colonies have in mind.
"In politics and history, a colony is a territory under the immediate political control of a state, distinct from the home territory of the sovereign. For colonies in antiquity, city-states would often found their own colonies.
The metropolitan state is the state that rules the colony. In Ancient Greece, the city that founded a colony was known as the metropolis. "Mother country" is a reference to the metropolitan state from the point of view of citizens who live in its colony. There is a United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories.
Unlike a puppet state or satellite state, a colony has no independent international representation, and its top-level administration is under direct control of the metropolitan state. The term informal colony is used by some historians to refer to a country under the de facto control of another state, although this term is often contentious.
The word "colony" comes from the Latin word colōnia. This in turn derives from the word colōnus, which means colonist but also implies a farmer.
Roman colonies first appeared when the Romans CONQUERED neighbouring Italic peoples. These were small farming settlements that appeared when the Romans had subdued an enemy in war. A colony could take many forms, as " a trade outpost or a military base in enemy territory". Its original definition as a settlement created by people migrating from a central region to an outlying one became the modern definition" - Wikipedia
Fellow Nigerians here is what I have discovered -
a) - All colonies have a metropolis or a mother country, an extension of the central territory. My question - what will be the central territory of the Fulani Herdsmen colonies? Is it the Federal Government? If the Governor of Kaduna State has already admitted that most of these armed Fulani Herdsmen are foreigners why are we giving them permanent residency status within our borders, is this not a grave security risk? What will be the relationship between the indigenous population and these new colonies ? Already it appears these colonies will be independent off the States and the local authority. Where there are conflicts and disputes between the two what laws are they going to be governed by, is it Sharia?
b) - Colonies operate in conquered territories. Are we then to accept that where these Fulani Herdsmen colonies are going to be established are conquered territories. Is this why the army is being used to establish this colonies?
c) - Colonies are traditionally trading outposts or military bases. The Hausa Fulani Colonies will be both trading outposts and military bases. Let me expose to you Buhari's plan. It was a plan he came up with 2 yrs ago but a lot of you might have missed it in the news. It is called MILITARY CATTLE RANCHES and it will dovetail with Fulani Herdsmen Colonies.
7) MILITARY CATTLE RANCHES Dec 2016 ( Vanguard )
News Report
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai has said that the Nigerian Army would be raising up cattle ranches in such a manner that in almost all the divisions, and all the brigades, cattle will be reared. Buratai who was represented by the Chief of Army Logistics, Major General Patrick Akem, stated this on Tuesday at the Commissioning of Mogadishu Cantonment New Mammy Market (former Abacha Barracks), Abuja. The Army Chief disclosed that in keeping up with modern cattle rearing tradition, he sent officers of the Army to Argentina to look at how cattle were reared. “Argentina has a population of 41 million people, but it feeds about 400 million people around the world with its beef.
To take it to the next level, we want to adopt a system where the cattle are not just free ranging coming from Sokoto to Port Harcourt, thereby making their meat tough to eat, the products will soon be coming from our own farms and ranches,” Buratai said. He noted that he has created the Barrack Investment Initiative as platform that affords Army family members the opportunity of raising up fishing ponds, vegetable gardens, fruits, livestock, chicken and their eggs.
According to him, the intention of the Nigerian Army was not just to secure the country, but to contribute in growing the economy of the nation. He added: “We want to tell our wives that they can live beyond the salaries of their husbands, so we are trying to empower the women in the barracks to be able to form co-operatives, so as to access loans and to a large extent be able to fend for themselves and their families, even without the salaries of their husbands.
MILITARY OFFICERS SENT ON TRAINING TO STUDY CATTLE RANCHING ( The cable Dec 20, 2016)
Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff, says some army officers have been sent to Argentina to learn cattle rearing.
Speaking at the launch of Mogadishu cantonment mammy market in Abuja on Tuesday, Buratai, who was represented by Patrick Akem, chief of army logistics, said the army would set up cattle ranches in all its divisions.
A statement issued by PRNigeria quoted Buratai as saying that in keeping with modern cattle-rearing tradition, he sent “officers of the army to Argentina to look at how cattle are reared”.
MILITARY RANCHES OR FULANI HERDSMEN COLONIES
It would appear from the foregoing that the military officers that went on these training in Argentina have slipped back into the country unnoticed and they will soon have to put their training in good use. The primary duty of a military officer is not animal husbandry. Therefore I presume the military officers will take managerial roles. They will need farm hands to feed and water the thousands of cattle under their care and who else will they employ if not Fulani Herdsmen. The Military Cattle Ranches are an extension of the military barracks, but will not be within the walls of the Barracks.

Fulani this and Fulani that. I doubt there is anything we can do about it at this stage. There is no unity among the victims. Each is doing their best to undo the other, just like you would expect in any Hobbesian state. The best strategy is to welcome the cattle colonies with our hole heart. Since the cattle colonies will come with development of infrastructure it is a great idea. Besides it will also create jobs for the locals. It will make for full integration of all Nigerians.

Seriously?? We should welcome the colonization? We should welcome government sponsored killing, genocide, and terrorism? Guess you need history lessons. The Gross influx of Fulani herdsmen presently and now calls for the sharing of this history. By John. (All JUKUNS SHOULD READ THIS.) The story is told of how King Yunfa, the Hausa Sarki 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 and Jukun kingdoms , so the Shehu of Bornu and Aku Uka 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 communities 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,Wukari, 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 sarkis 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.

I have heard all these narratives and I share your angst. My point is where do we go from here. What is the way forward. Our politicians in the south constitute the Achilles heel of our defence and they are in the forefront. Are you not bothered that other than Ikpeazu Fayose, no other governor has spoken publicly against it. It suggests that there might have been surreptitious agreements. So my position is, what is in it for the host states of the cattle colonies. We can at this stage extract a memorandum of understanding with government and cattle grazing association. In the prevailing situation it might be more prudent to accept the reality. Don't forget that it's one Nigeria and similar concessions can be exacted from the north. Buhari will not be in the saddle for ever.

Buhari Calls For 'total' Sharia In Nigeria
2001-08-27 21:32
Lagos - A former military ruler of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has called for the introduction of 'total' Islamic law across the country, reports said on Monday.
Buhari, who ruled Nigeria from a coup in December 1983 to his ouster in 1985, told a seminar in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, at the weekend that the strict Islamic law code known as the Sharia should be introduced in full across Nigeria.
"I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria," Buhari said, quoted in press reports.

Northern Nigeria is mainly Muslim but southern Nigeria is mainly Christian and has led criticism of the introduction of Islamic law in a dozen northern states in the past 18 months.
Africa's most populous country has been shaken repeatedly in the past by religious unrest. In February 2000 between 2 000 and 3 000 people were killed by Christian-Muslim riots in Kaduna over the introduction of Sharia.

"Buhari calls for Sharia in all states," was the headline of the respected newspaper The Guardian.
Buhari's comments were defended by supporters as simply a call for the full implementation of Sharia in areas where Muslims predominated.
But the comments are the second by Buhari that have courted controversy after he called earlier this year for Muslims to vote at the next presidential elections only for someone who would defend their faith.
This was criticised by the press as a call for voting along religious lines, as well as an attack on the current president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who is a Christian.
Buhari made the latest comments at a seminar organised by the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria, a newly set up body attended by northern state governments and Islamic scholars.
"It is a legal responsibility which God has given us, within the context of one Nigeria, to continue to uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly ... and to educate non-Muslims that they have nothing to fear," he said.
"What remains for Muslims in Nigeria is for them to redouble their efforts, educate Muslims on the need to promote the full implementation of Sharia law," he went on. - AFP

Buhari was never called to answer to the accusation of Islamisation. Unfortunately the excitement of Change swept Nigerians off their feet, they saw in him a deliverer a man who was like the masses. How mistaken were they.
One wonders if the sudden unbridled violence perpetrated on Christian farmers by Fulani Herdsmen is not a ploy to serve a desperate nation with the dish of Fulani colonisation. Give them colonies and the violence will stop in Benue. But we are not just talking about Benue but everywhere their cold hands of death, terror and mutilation have touched - that includes Enugu, Cross River, Ekiti, Ondo, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Rivers, Bayelsa, Taraba, Ogun, Plateau, Abia, Niger , Yobe, Adamawa, Kaduna and Anambra States. Therefore next to these terrorised States are going to be Fulani Herdsmen New Urban Centres - Towns called 'Colonies'. Perhaps we need examine that word, "Colony".
6) WHAT IS A COLONY?
I have decided not make any assumptions, Nigeria was once a colony of Britain, but what is the technical meaning of the word colony because it would help us understand what the framers of the Fulani Herdsmen colonies have in mind.
"In politics and history, a colony is a territory under the immediate political control of a state, distinct from the home territory of the sovereign. For colonies in antiquity, city-states would often found their own colonies.
The metropolitan state is the state that rules the colony. In Ancient Greece, the city that founded a colony was known as the metropolis. "Mother country" is a reference to the metropolitan state from the point of view of citizens who live in its colony. There is a United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories.
Unlike a puppet state or satellite state, a colony has no independent international representation, and its top-level administration is under direct control of the metropolitan state. The term informal colony is used by some historians to refer to a country under the de facto control of another state, although this term is often contentious.
The word "colony" comes from the Latin word colōnia. This in turn derives from the word colōnus, which means colonist but also implies a farmer.
Roman colonies first appeared when the Romans CONQUERED neighbouring Italic peoples. These were small farming settlements that appeared when the Romans had subdued an enemy in war. A colony could take many forms, as " a trade outpost or a military base in enemy territory". Its original definition as a settlement created by people migrating from a central region to an outlying one became the modern definition" - Wikipedia
Fellow Nigerians here is what I have discovered -
a) - All colonies have a metropolis or a mother country, an extension of the central territory. My question - what will be the central territory of the Fulani Herdsmen colonies? Is it the Federal Government? If the Governor of Kaduna State has already admitted that most of these armed Fulani Herdsmen are foreigners why are we giving them permanent residency status within our borders, is this not a grave security risk? What will be the relationship between the indigenous population and these new colonies ? Already it appears these colonies will be independent off the States and the local authority. Where there are conflicts and disputes between the two what laws are they going to be governed by, is it Sharia?
b) - Colonies operate in conquered territories. Are we then to accept that where these Fulani Herdsmen colonies are going to be established are conquered territories. Is this why the army is being used to establish this colonies?
c) - Colonies are traditionally trading outposts or military bases. The Hausa Fulani Colonies will be both trading outposts and military bases. Let me expose to you Buhari's plan. It was a plan he came up with 2 yrs ago but a lot of you might have missed it in the news. It is called MILITARY CATTLE RANCHES and it will dovetail with Fulani Herdsmen Colonies.
7) MILITARY CATTLE RANCHES Dec 2016 ( Vanguard )
News Report
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai has said that the Nigerian Army would be raising up cattle ranches in such a manner that in almost all the divisions, and all the brigades, cattle will be reared. Buratai who was represented by the Chief of Army Logistics, Major General Patrick Akem, stated this on Tuesday at the Commissioning of Mogadishu Cantonment New Mammy Market (former Abacha Barracks), Abuja. The Army Chief disclosed that in keeping up with modern cattle rearing tradition, he sent officers of the Army to Argentina to look at how cattle were reared. “Argentina has a population of 41 million people, but it feeds about 400 million people around the world with its beef.
To take it to the next level, we want to adopt a system where the cattle are not just free ranging coming from Sokoto to Port Harcourt, thereby making their meat tough to eat, the products will soon be coming from our own farms and ranches,” Buratai said. He noted that he has created the Barrack Investment Initiative as platform that affords Army family members the opportunity of raising up fishing ponds, vegetable gardens, fruits, livestock, chicken and their eggs.
According to him, the intention of the Nigerian Army was not just to secure the country, but to contribute in growing the economy of the nation. He added: “We want to tell our wives that they can live beyond the salaries of their husbands, so we are trying to empower the women in the barracks to be able to form co-operatives, so as to access loans and to a large extent be able to fend for themselves and their families, even without the salaries of their husbands.
MILITARY OFFICERS SENT ON TRAINING TO STUDY CATTLE RANCHING ( The cable Dec 20, 2016)
Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff, says some army officers have been sent to Argentina to learn cattle rearing.
Speaking at the launch of Mogadishu cantonment mammy market in Abuja on Tuesday, Buratai, who was represented by Patrick Akem, chief of army logistics, said the army would set up cattle ranches in all its divisions.
A statement issued by PRNigeria quoted Buratai as saying that in keeping with modern cattle-rearing tradition, he sent “officers of the army to Argentina to look at how cattle are reared”.
MILITARY RANCHES OR FULANI HERDSMEN COLONIES
It would appear from the foregoing that the military officers that went on these training in Argentina have slipped back into the country unnoticed and they will soon have to put their training in good use. The primary duty of a military officer is not animal husbandry. Therefore I presume the military officers will take managerial roles. They will need farm hands to feed and water the thousands of cattle under their care and who else will they employ if not Fulani Herdsmen. The Military Cattle Ranches are an extension of the military barracks, but will not be within the walls of the Barracks.

Fulanis will definitely attempt to cage and colonize Nigerians.
But they will fail woefully. Only time will explain to the the folly of their tactics.

Soon poultry farmers will ask for their own chicken colonies.
