Ortom Reacts To Prof. Umar Labdo Muhammad's "Benue Belongs To Fulani" Claim by owoicho13(m): 4:27pm On Jan 18, 2018
The Benue State Government has reacted to the claim by Professor Umar Labdo Muhammad of the Faculty of Humanities, Northwest University, Kano that Benue State belongs to the Fulani by conquest.

The Professor, in a Facebook post that went viral on Thursday, had also insisted that no one can expel the Fulani from Benue.

The University Don predicated his claim on the fact that half of Benue State is part of the Bauchi Emirate and also half of the Adamawa Emirate.

He said Benue is “part and parcel of Sokoto Caliphate” as such nobody has the right to expel Fulani from the state, adding that Fulani are the largest single nation in the African continent and they have “remained unbeatable throughout their history.”

Chief Press Secretary to the Benue State Governor, Terve Akase, demanded that the professor provide evidence to back up his claims.

According to Akase, it was unprofessional for the Don to come up with such claims without properly acquainting himself with enough points to back up his claims.

Akase said he (Prof. Muhammad) should be able show proofs of ownership of Benue by Fulani in books and also tell the people what year Benue was conquered.

He said, “Did he [Prof. Muhammad] provide evidence to his claim?

“Which of the books written by great men proves what he said? He should also be able to tell us in what century the Fulani conquered Benue.

“Muhammad should be able to back up his claims that Benue is Fulani’s conquered land because you don’t just come up with such claims.”

What should we expect from a Fulani professor of Islamic studies if not bullshit.

Like some nairalanders will say "a professor that cannot back up his claims with evidences is that one a professor or a stupid headslammer?"

Icecomrade:



The Igbos are the most widely travelled and settled in foreign lands than any other tribe in Nigeria.

Some have lived 100s of years in some states and communities

Yet there has never been any time where the claim indigene ship of another land.

They will never provoke their host into a fight with their manners, religion or social activity.

On the contrary

we have this tribe in this country that starts to milk their host like parasites once they are settled.

They claim indigene ship, provoke and kill their hosts

In turn, people make excuses for them and try to justify their actions.

The govt begins to consider policies that would favour them in the name of peace.

HOW DO WE JUSTIFIY THIS INPUNITY.

"There is neither historical, archaeological, nor anthropological evidence to indicate that the Fulanis’ ever inhabited the Benue Valley at any time before the advent of the Tiv people.

What is a veritable and verifiable historical fact is that the forces of the 1804 Islamic Jihad, led by Uthman Dan Fodio, were defeated at the Ushongo hills in Tiv land. That explains why Islam could not be imposed on the Tiv people, nor Emirs appointed to rule Tiv land.

“The recent claim by Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, that they were in the Benue Valley before the Tiv, is ridiculous; it is a tissue of lies concocted from the pit of hell to support a desperate and diabolical claim on Tiv ancestral lands.

“Knowing who the Fulanis’ are, and their penchant for changing historical narratives to benefit their designs, we are not surprised. They have severally attempted to hoist a post-jihad narrative of Northern Nigeria’s identity, which seeks to conscript Northern minorities into a monolithic North in which they are a mere footstool for the caliphate.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Fulanis’ claim of having settled in the Benue Valley before the Tiv is a lie, because their attempt to change the narrative at this belated time confirms our suspicion that their interest in the Benue Valley is more than the grass they seek for their cattle.

“It is a devious strategy to secure illegal rights to Tiv ancestral lands, in order to exploit the political and religious opportunities that come with such rights.

“We challenge the Fulani to tell the world where and when the Tiv displaced them in order to settle in the Benue Valley.”

Edward Ujege (July 2017)

Federal Government is seeking to create Fulani colonies across the country. The same colonies the Fulani immigrants who migrated from Senegambia to present day northern Nigeria use to colonized the Hausa people.

Usman dan Fodio set up the first Sokoto Caliphate and make himself the sultan, he uses cattle grazing across the Hausa dominate northern Nigeria.

After they gather foot soldiers they uses jihad to overthrown all the Hausa kings and kunuri people. He went further to islamized and colonize them by setting up emirs across the northern region. Fulani population is not more than 10 Million people but all the emirs are from Fulani extraction. The fact the Hausa language is still the general accepted language tell us much that they were once immigrates. after settlement they adopted the location language before raising war against the host community.


Should we allow them to create Fulani colonies in the south? The middle belt killing is political and a justification to create Fulani colonies.

Have you even asked yourself what is the meaning of colonies?


Meaning Of Colonies.. (at Least This Should Ring A Bell To All Nigerians)

colonies
noun

colonies is a plural word and cannot be define directly.

Firstly you cant get the actual meaning of colonies without first understanding what the singular of it is.

Example, colony is the singular word which can be define and while colonies is the plural.

colony
noun

1, Colony. A colony is a country which is controlled by a more powerful country.

( Example, this is talking about colonialism, to colonize another country or area. more like the colonial era )


2, Colony. A country or area under the full or partial political control of another country and occupied by settlers from that country..


( Example, this is talking about a siege to another country or community. forcefully conversion of land occupancy, strategic location, natural resources e.t.c without recognition of the state law or it people, only answerable to parent region. more like a colonial era )


3, Colony. A colony is a group of people who settle in a new place but keep ties to their homeland.

( Example, this one means that a government of it own is existing inside another government territory, which is not answerable to the law of the lands, but rather to another government where it came from. the state laws or community control is not applicable to them, they are totally independent and exempted from all forms of controls of the states. more like a totalitarian.)


now since we can now fathom what is colony, let check the plural which is colonies.

colonies means having more colony, and in translation it means having the colony the size of a local government across the whole 36 states.
