A Professor of history at the Faculty of Humanities, Maitama Sule University, Kano, Umar Muhammad Labdo, has reiterated his claim that Benue belongs to the Fulani.

The lecturer provided reasons for his earlier claim that Benue land is Fulani by right of conquest.

Speaking in an interview with Punch, he agreed the Fulani are migrants from Futa Jallon but added that they have been in Nigeria for more than 800 years.

He said: “It is factual that Fulani originally came to this area from somewhere in modern Mali, which is called Futa Toro or Futa Jallon. It is an incontrovertible fact. But then, when did they come here? It was between 800 and 1, 000 years (ago ). Now, people who migrated more than 800 years ago, they are no longer migrants.

“If you study the history of all people in the world, you will know that they migrated from somewhere else. Take America for example, Europeans migrated to America about 500 years ago.

“Now, is it proper to call white Americans settlers? They are simply not settlers but own the country. Also, Europeans migrated to Australia. Now, they own the country. Europeans migrated to South Africa and it took many years of struggle for the black majority to gain independence from them. Now, Adam, that is, the first man, did not live in Tiv land.

“So, Tiv people came to Tiv land, Fulani came to Tiv land, they came to Nigeria, they came to all areas that they live in today. The bottom line is that you cannot label them as settlers. If you call them settlers, then all the people and the rest of the world would be called settlers; that is the point that is being established.

“Don’t talk about original owners. Now, the right of conquest is recognised worldwide. And many of the people, who live presently in different countries, they are there and are living there by the right of conquest. And this right of conquest is recognised, even by our Supreme Court.

“One of my followers on Facebook, who is a lawyer, said he could mention 10 cases in which our Supreme Court recognised conquest as one of the basis of getting titles for land. So, don ’t talk about that. Who are the original owners? Original! When did they come?

“We submit that the first father of the Tiv was Mohammed Alla, who migrated from Katsina, that is why today, you have Katsina Alla! Let them explain, what is the meaning of Katsina Alla? So, this Fulani man, when he got to that area and fathered Tiv, there were other Fulani people there. That was why he came to join his own brothers.

“So, if you are talking about any original owners of the Tiv land, it is actually the Fulani. And the Fulani are the fathers of the Tiv and the Jukun are their mothers.”

Keep talking.

You can even say Nigeria belongs to Fulani.

No be your fault; 2019 is near.

Hmmm.

Does this conquest help put a Fulani man in space or brings a breakthrough in unlimited renewable source of energy?

Very Useless Man, Nt his Fault blame does who Voted Fr Apc

These people have an agenda.

I wonder how they intend applying this logic to Ilorin knowing fully well they did not ‘conquer’ Ilorin. The Yoruba in Ilori fused with them based on religion, even against their own brother, Afonja. We’ll see how they intend to lay claim to Ilorin without infuriatingvthe Yoruba there who have, despite trying very hard to be Hausa or Fulani, now become self aware of their unfavourable position - being treated like a plague by their blood relations in the West & being treated like a slave in their own land by the Fulani who will never accept them as equal.

Land grabbers.

Buhari as turned Nigeria to excolomonje where any Asshole from his terrorist camp can say any shit and go Scot free

I PITY BENUE PEOPLE

Tor!!!!..

Oga Professor keep spewing trash because some insane follks in the South and Middle-belt were silly enough to vote your grand patron in 2015 against wise counsel from mostly Igbos..Its not your fault..

2019 is around the corner.

Yes ooo. The only place they will never own is SE and SS. Even if SS people want make them own them we will refuse for them. They can own every other place.

I hope with these kind of statements they won't accuse the south of trying to divide the north.

Anyway I don't blame them, I blame Benue indigenes who would look an Hausa man or a Fulani and believe he could align himself with him.

How for Christ sake? People you don't share same religion, same culture. Nothing in common. In my church, Catholic, we even have tiv community and idoma community. So why would a Benue indigene see himself as a northerner? This is what I don't understand.

At the end of day, the North just want Benue for politics. No more, no less. FACT

With these kinds of speech by northerners, Buhari is toast in 2019.

And he is justifing d killings u own benue and u want to kill the tiv

Benue people caused this for themselves..

Land grabbers are naturally wicked and greedy. Tolerate them at your own peril

The terrorists have come out with so much excuses to show why they have been killing and maiming as if other parts of Nigeria that they have been killing and maiming belongs to the Fulani.
Does olu falae's farm also belong to the Fulani?

benben1000:
I PITY BENUE PEOPLE

Don't really pity them much...
They call themselves the ' north '
And they voted in APC and Buhari

*in Fela's voice* which kind animal talk be that?

See "professor" making claims without basis or reference or proofs... Is this Tales by Moonlight?

Soon enough they will claim Lagos starting with Agege and Mile 12.

We submit that the first father of the Tiv was Mohammed Alla, who migrated from Katsina, that is why today, you have Katsina Alla! Let them explain, what is the meaning of Katsina Alla? So, this Fulani man, when he got to that area and fathered Tiv, there were other Fulani people there. That was why he came to join his own brothers.

“So, if you are talking about any original owners of the Tiv land, it is actually the Fulani. And the Fulani are the fathers of the Tiv and the Jukun are their mothers.”

So finally the headslamming professor provided his shitty evidence for the killings in Benue by his 'benevolent terrorist kinsmen'.

It's amazing how this Islamic scholar and his fellow Fulanis failed to understand a simple law of reciprocal actions.


What you sow is what you'll reap eventually. It is an unchangeable natural law.

I smell high level conspiracy. This killing is an organized one. The meaning is that Fulani will continue to kill in Benue until the Benue people leave the land to Fulani.
Nigerians shine your eyes. There is fire on the mountain. The Fulanis through Buhari and his foot soldiers want to overrun Nigeria. I rest my case.

From who did they conquere Benue?

Land grabbers.

Let's appreciate OBJ for the Land Use Act, if not for any other thing! The proposed reserves/colonies would have been taken with sheer Federal might; and there would have been no wimper from any quarter. Perhaps, OBJ got wind of the present land grab schemes then?

Shut up your stinking shit hole, you empty headed, quota system profooooossor. I no blame u,na afonjas give una this opportunity. One day una go claim Lagos as Fulani conquered territory too. Lick my ass.
