I can't help.with your confusion comrade but what amazes ime is your refusal.to address raised points

Where in the world.are murderers given an estate to.reside ?

How can you just term an occupation murderers? Is that fair with all honesty. For the fact its been used as a tool does not give you the right to address all as muderers.

Did this same.honorabke president not state the killers are not Nigerian fulanis but foreign ones ?.

He did and thats the point here. confine the real professionals so you can easily go agaist the foreign or local ones. This is the best approach which is being worked on.

Okay what has been done to.addresd this border leak? What has been done to apprehend these foreign killers and seal the borders ?

Are we both not aware that the Nigerian Armed Forces are in the fronts of this war. And like you now trying to even address boko-haram as herdsmen. Common, what have this traders done to deserve all this hate of recent? Oh! The president is from there and disliked by a few.

Now in your logic a fix to this security challenge is.to open a settlement? Wait are you serious?

YES! ¨Proffer a better, logical and fair solution that you can defend where intellects that address matters without sentiments are sitted.

Please I want to ask you do.understand my words right ?


You cant logically win this arguments. Its a constant!


Or do.i simplify?

All your points seem to stem for a "come on be nice " perspective and not logic and that's where I have issues with coming to terms with anything you say.

It's not about being nice but I am one to stand for truth till death , I can never and will never tell a lie or sell.my.conscience for money or any material thing so we are definitely two different people.

Again I ask a normal.question which seems too hard for you to grasp or understand

So.let me repeat again sir

Where in the world are criminals not persecuted and given a place to stay?

Secondly you also admitted the honorable president was clear and deliberate when he stated that the murderous and.rapists herdsmen are not the Nigerian fulanis but foreign fulani

Now show all nairaland a link or recording where in the last four years any have been apprehended for the thousands killed so far? Okay they haven't been caught? That's fine then so what is being done to catch them?

Show me.limks to this ? Okay nothing ? Alright so how then can the public be certain that these ones coming to ruga are not foreigners too? There is no way at all to be certain why? Because there are no records or registry or steps to close the borders
The borders are still very open !

So looking at the above now let's look at this NONSENSE called ruga

Why would any state want this in their region?

You see you can't put a cart before the horse and expect motion
It just doesn't work , maybe it's because of my career hence I have to employ the skill of.critical thinking daily hence it comes so easily but the grace of God

So I implore please for once try to use that in this discussion sir , don't just rush to switch between your accounts to type of another response

Think deeply in the words and address them after due thought has been.employed

Please I ask again looking in-depth at the points raised

How can a government who hasn't shown any steps at appeasing the grieved family of those who have lost people over the years to these killers by arresting them suddenly expected them to habor these same.killers in their state and not.expect a crisis?

Secondly how can a government who said the killers are not Nigerian not take.steps to stop itehr foreign killers from coming in by closing the borders now expect people to believe the fulanis who.are.to.live in these settlements are not alone.foreign killers ?

Third how does the government leave every other pressing need and focus billions.og.resources to this settlement when the first step would ha e been to.order the immigration boss to revamp.the entire border patrol service and fund technology in aiding border protection.
First show the citizens.our borders are secure them we deal with those criminals who got in earlier

After that is done then you can talk of ruga settlements because at least everyone would be sure the fulanis coming aren't the violent foreigners

Because after the so called violent ones have been locked out of entering Nigeria and the ones in side already are arrested it makes sense for at least a year there should be no herdsmen killings or rapes or kidnaps then around the whole country then Afterwards a year later talk of.ruga and explain why cattle owners just operate ranches and offer them loans like farmers are offered but it's not the government responsibility to hold ranches


Nigerians aren't uninformed you know

SO WHAT IS RUGA? ARE YOU READY? READ TO THE END

Let’s talk RUGA aka Fulani Cattle Colonies

The Buhari Administration has commenced construction of Cattle Colonies, rebranded “RUGA” in 36 States of Nigeria. The project has started in Kotongora, Niger State on a 31,000-hectare piece of land. The project will be initially replicated in 12 States with six (6) of such colonies to be constructed in each State.

What is RUGA aka Cattle Colony?

RUGA or Cattle Colony is a SETTLEMENT for Fulani Herdsmen, their families and cattle/livestock. It will contain ranches, grass or feed farms, abattoirs, dairy, meat and skin/leather processing plants, housing, religious houses, schools, roads, power and water supplies and the complete range of infrastructure required to support and sustain an ultra-modern local government area .

Okay, lets talk now

FACTS FIRST.

1. Taking a cue from the first RUGA in Kotongora in Niger State, the land size or landmass of each RUGA is at least 31,000 hectares of land or 310 SQUARE KILOMETERS. That is the size of an average Local Government Area (LGA) in many States in Nigeria. The average size of an LGA in the South East is 331 sqkms and in the South West, 574 sqkm. Lagos State has the least average LGA size at 179 sqKm, Imo State has average LGA size of 205sqkm, Akwa Ibom State – 229sqkm, Anambra 231sqkm and Osun State has average LGA size at 308 sqkm just to mention a few. At 310 sqkms in size, a RUGA or Fulani Cattle Colony is the size of a Local Government Area in Nigeria.

2. Buhari’s RUGA aka Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colony is an exclusive settlement for Fulani Herders and their families.

3. Buhari’s RUGA program will establish six (6) such exclusive Fulani settlements in each of the thirty-six (36) States in Nigeria. In the result, at completion of the program there will be two hundred and sixteen (216) new exclusive Fulani Local Government Areas in Nigeria.

4. Nigeria has seven hundred and seventy-four (774) LGAs decreed in the Military Decree falsely called Nigerian Constitution 1999. Nigeria is ruled by Military Decree imposed by force of arms. Nigeria has had no agreed Constitution made by the people since the Military abrogated the Independence Constitution. Let’s leave the Constitution fraud for another day.

5. The current population of Nigeria is about two hundred million, eight hundred and twenty-eight thousand and eight hundred and twenty-four (200,828,824) people as at 26 June 2019. Given the fact in “4” above, the average population of a Local Government Area in Nigeria is roughly two hundred and sixty thousand (260,000) people.

6. Given the facts in “3” and “5” above, Buhari’s RUGA program on completion is projected to increase the Fulani population in Nigeria by FIFTY-SIX MILLION, ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND (56,160,000) Fulanis. There about Thirteen Million (13,000,000) Fulanis in Nigeria presently which is 6.3% of Nigeria’s population according to CIA Factbook on Nigeria. In effect, Buhari’s RUGA program on completion will see Nigeria with a projected total Fulani Population of SIXTY-NINE MILLION, ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND (69,160,000), 4.32-fold increase in population.

7. The implication of “7” above is that at the completion of Buhari’s RUGA program, the Fulani will have arguably become the most populous nationality in Nigeria (in todays population figure terms) having outgrown the Hausa (25.1% or about 50.4 Million), the Yoruba (21% or about 42.2 Million) and the Igbo (18% or about 32.2 Million). In one fell swoop the Fulani becomes the majority nationality in Nigeria. The Tripod balance in Nigeria becomes quad-legged.

8. It is fact that Buhari has himself stated that Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists who are engaged in massacres and pillage in Nigeria are not Nigerian citizens. In other words, the Fulani herders are alien non-Nigerians. Governor El Rufai of Kaduna State has also said about the same. Several powerful sources in Nigeria have repeatedly confirmed that the Fulani herders causing mayhem in Nigeria are aliens from across West and Central Africa. Nigerians are generally agreed that the Fulani herders and terrorists engaged in land grab and terrorist activities in Nigeria are non-Nigerians from West and Central Africa.

9. It is also fact that the advent of Buhari’s RUGA program or Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colony program was preceded by increased Fulani Herdsmen Terrorist activity and land grab in the Middle Belt and elsewhere in Nigeria. It was also preceded by militant advocacy by Miyetti Allah for grazing routes and grazing reserves to be established in the Middle Belt and Southern States of Nigeria in particular. Without doubt, Buhari has himself pronounced the fact that his RUGA or Fulani Cattle Colony program is meant to resettle the Fulani Herdsmen and satisfy the demands of Miyetti Allah!

10. Nearly all States from the Middle Belt to Southern Nigeria vehemently rejected the Buhari Fulani Cattle Colony program and refused to allocate land in their states as demanded by Buhari. Notwithstanding that rejection of the Cattle Colony Program, Buhari opted to rebrand the program as RUGA and to instead, to use existing Federal Government owned land in the States.

11. It is also a fact that in addition to FGN owned land in the States, Buhari has sponsored an Executive Bill in the National Assembly to enable the FGN to acquire all rivers and their river- banks in Nigeria. Nigerians view Buhari’s Rivers/River-bank acquisition Bill as a consistent and integral part of his RUGA/Fulani Cattle Colony land grab.

Implications of the facts of RUGA/Fulani Cattle Colonies program.

The first and immediate question arising from Buhari’s RUGA/Fulani Cattle Colony program is why, by what justification, and on the basis of which law of Nigeria would Buhari undertake such massive immigration and resettlement of foreigners (West and Central African Fulanis) in Nigeria and on indigenous Nigerian lands. Certainly neither Nigerian Immigration law nor ECOWAS laws permit non citizens to enter Nigeria without passports. Why would Buhari pursue such a most expensive massive immigration program to import and resettle more than 59 million foreigners on Nigerian lands at a time Nigeria I already over-populated and searching for effective means of population control?

When the World’s most powerful country, USA is building a wall on its Mexican border to stop a flow of only a few hundred thousand refugees, Buhari does the opposite by throwing Nigerian Northern borders open and using Nigerian tax payers funds to invite and fund more than 59 million foreign Fulani for resettlement on indigenous lands at a time Nigerians are in hunger, penury and hunger.

There is no refugee problem or war in West and Central Africa that could be said to instigate such massive immigration of African Fulanis to Nigeria. Even so, refugees are usually provided temporary shelter in camps, not permanent settlement and such refugee programs are at the costs of the United Nations .

These Buhari foreign Fulanis are not refugees. These foreign Fulanis are in Nigeria in contravention of Nigerian Immigration Laws. So why is Buhari seeking to forcefully legitimise and resettle illegal immigrants on indigenous lands of Nigerians?
Why do these Buhari foreign Fulanis carry AK47 and other military grade weapons freely and openly across the borders of Nigeria and all over the States of Nigeria.

Even so, why have Nigerian Army, Police and Security Services failed and or refused to enforce Nigerian gun laws against these Fulanis? The Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists, Bandits/Kidnappers are known to have been engaged in terrorist activity all over Nigeria and continue to do so.

Why is Buhari rewarding terrorists and criminals with resettlement on Nigerian indigenous lands? Why would government reward terrorists rather than prosecute them? Above all why would terrorists be resettled on the lands of other indigenous nations of Nigeria? Why is Buhari bent of introducing whole 6 new Local Government Areas full of terrorists in States of other indigenous nations of Nigeria? Why would any state or nation accept such terrorist communities of foreign hostile citizens?

The nationality question

Nigerian nations have boiling unresolved nationality questions. It is not only provocation of the most insensitive and inhumane nature for Buhari to seek to introduce exclusive Fulani LGAs into native lands of other indigenous nations of Nigeria. RUGA/Fulani Cattle Colony introduces and creates 6 new exclusive Fulani LGAs in every State of Nigeria.

By implication indigenous Nigerian Nations are compelled by Federal Presidential power to have the Fulani who are alien to their lands to inherit and permanently retain part of their indigenous land as Fulani homeland. Imagine 30 Fulani LGAs planted strategically all over the South East, or 36 of such LGAs scattered strategically all over Yorubaland or in the Middle Belt and South South?

Would Buhari create exclusive Igbo or Yoruba or Ijaw or Idoma or Efik or Ibibio or Urobo or Tiv LGAs in Sokoto, Kano, Zamfara etc? If not why would Buhari pursue RUGA/Fulani Cattle Colonies program against the objections of States of the Middlebelt and Southern Nigeria?

Discrimination comparable only to Apartheid

The Fulani Exclusiveness of RUGA and the use of Federal Funds to build whole new ultra-modern LGAs with facilities not available to the other LGAs of the natives or indigenous Nigerians is nothing short of APARTHEID! Apartheid is impermissible and unacceptable in Nigeria.

Religious, way of lif, governance and socio political implications

RUGA/Cattle Colony is an LGA. With the herdsmen come their families and the full facilities of human settlements. Being exclusively Fulani, therefore the LGA becomes exclusively Moslem.

The LGA must come with Mosques for worship. With the LGA being exclusively Islamic, comes Sharia Courts and Sharia Law, along with Sharia police within the LGA in order to meet the religious and way of life needs of the settlers.

With it comes the need for Emirs or District heads. In one fell swoop suddenly each State in the South East, South South, South West, Middle Belt and other Christian and animist nations, must necessarily legitimise Sharia Law given 6 Sharia LGAs in their States. Inevitably Sharia Law must then be declared and recognised in all States of Nigeria. And boom, Nigeria has become a Sharia country!

Along with Sharia law becoming operational in all States of Nigeria follows Emirates being declared in those States and then demands for more Sharia LGAs and more land and then claims of right to govern the States and so on and so forth!

Legitimate Fulani rights innevitably arise to demand that each State of Nigeria make provisions to accommodate their language whether Fulfude or Hausa in the State Schools and public media broadcasts. The demand for both Sharia Law and dual language in each State of Nigeria would be perfectly legitimate. Why not?

A new ethnic group in Imo State for instance that has 6 LGAs as its homeland plus the original 27 LGAs, would certainly be entitled to have their own language accommodated in Imo Schools and public broadcasts. They will be entitled to vote and be voted for. They will be entitled to have their Sharia Courts and facilities must be dualized to accommodate them and their different way of life. Why not? Are they not also Imolites? After all they have 6 LGA homelands in Imo State. The same must unavoidably happen in all other States in Nigeria where RUGA is implemented, except in Northern States that are totally Sharia Statess.

Their Emirs must seat in the Imo House of Chiefs or traditional rulers and when it becomes one of their turns, an Emir will become the Head of the Imo Council of Ezes! Same must inevitably happen in all relevant States in Nigeria.

In effect, every State in Nigeria suddenly must as a legitimate necessity double up language, culture, judiciary, governance, traditional leadership and all aspects of their lives with the Fulani.

This must be what former President Obasanjo foresaw and accurately described as Fulanisation and Islamisation of Nigeria.

Will Buhari create Igbo and Yoruba Customary Law Courts in Sokoto, Kano, Katsina and in all Northern Moslem States of Nigeria? If not, why not?

Will Buhari also set up a RUGA for the Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Idoma and all other tribes of Nigeria so that Nigeria can be “Igbonised”, “Yorubanised”, “Ijawnised”, “Idomanised”, “Tivinised”, “Ibibionised”, “Edonised”, “Igbiranised”, “efikinised”, “urobonised” and “all kind of nized” with all etnic groups in Nigeria and Christianised and ” animistinized” ?

RUGA/Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colony is outright declaration of Jihad! It won’t work without declaration of war against the indigenous nations of Nigeria and defeating them in a war of conquest!

In RUGA/Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colonies, his Rivers & Riverbanks Bill and support for and protection of Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists plus romance and collaboration with Miyetti Allah, Buhari is directly and indirectly making and levying war against Nigeria .

RUGA/Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colony program is the largest illegal migration in human history in terms of its size. It is unprecedented. It is also the greatest Jihad by stealth being executed through abuse and misuse of Presidential power and privillage to not only attempt to permanently enforce Fulani Caliphate colonisation of Nigeria, but also carry out eventual fulanisation and islamisation of Nigeria without open declaration of war against the indigenous nations of Nigeria.

Every indigenous Nigerian has a duty to resist this Buhari Jihad. Any indigenous nation that accepts RUGA is already on their way to extinction from the face of the earth before they realise it. Ask the Housa Kingdoms of the North or the nations of the Middle Belt that have had to live a life of endless wars of self preservation against the Fulani Caliphate perpertual Jihad.



Bros, I took my time to finish reading this but there are many people that won't take that time...honestly if you could summarize it, I'll gladly make it my point of duty for the next two weeks to put this summarized post at every topic I can simply to sensitize people.

The fulanization agenda is on already... We southerners need to kick against it before the first step is completed. If they achieve the Ruga aim, it will be too late to stop them.

God bless you for this wonderful piece. Thanks for taking time to enlighten the doubting Thomases that don't see beyond their nostrils.

When the World’s most powerful country, USA is building a wall on its Mexican border to stop a flow of only a few hundred thousand refugees, Buhari does the opposite by throwing Nigerian Northern borders open and using Nigerian tax payers funds to invite and fund more than 59 million foreign Fulani for resettlement on indigenous lands at a time Nigerians are in hunger, penury and hunger.

There is no refugee problem or war in West and Central Africa that could be said to instigate such massive immigration of African Fulanis to Nigeria. Even so, refugees are usually provided temporary shelter in camps, not permanent settlement and such refugee programs are at the costs of the United Nations .

These Buhari foreign Fulanis are not refugees. These foreign Fulanis are in Nigeria in contravention of Nigerian Immigration Laws. So why is Buhari seeking to forcefully legitimise and resettle illegal immigrants on indigenous lands of Nigerians?
Why do these Buhari foreign Fulanis carry AK47 and other military grade weapons freely and openly across the borders of Nigeria and all over the States of Nigeria.

Even so, why have Nigerian Army, Police and Security Services failed and or refused to enforce Nigerian gun laws against these Fulanis? The Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists, Bandits/Kidnappers are known to have been engaged in terrorist activity all over Nigeria and continue to do so.

Why is Buhari rewarding terrorists and criminals with resettlement on Nigerian indigenous lands? Why would government reward terrorists rather than prosecute them? Above all why would terrorists be resettled on the lands of other indigenous nations of Nigeria? Why is Buhari bent of introducing whole 6 new Local Government Areas full of terrorists in States of other indigenous nations of Nigeria? Why would any state or nation accept such terrorist communities of foreign hostile citizens?

The nationality question

Nigerian nations have boiling unresolved nationality questions. It is not only provocation of the most insensitive and inhumane nature for Buhari to seek to introduce exclusive Fulani LGAs into native lands of other indigenous nations of Nigeria. RUGA/Fulani Cattle Colony introduces and creates 6 new exclusive Fulani LGAs in every State of Nigeria.

By implication indigenous Nigerian Nations are compelled by Federal Presidential power to have the Fulani who are alien to their lands to inherit and permanently retain part of their indigenous land as Fulani homeland. Imagine 30 Fulani LGAs planted strategically all over the South East, or 36 of such LGAs scattered strategically all over Yorubaland or in the Middle Belt and South South?

Would Buhari create exclusive Igbo or Yoruba or Ijaw or Idoma or Efik or Ibibio or Urobo or Tiv LGAs in Sokoto, Kano, Zamfara etc? If not why would Buhari pursue RUGA/Fulani Cattle Colonies program against the objections of States of the Middlebelt and Southern Nigeria?

Discrimination comparable only to Apartheid

The Fulani Exclusiveness of RUGA and the use of Federal Funds to build whole new ultra-modern LGAs with facilities not available to the other LGAs of the natives or indigenous Nigerians is nothing short of APARTHEID! Apartheid is impermissible and unacceptable in Nigeria.

Religious, way of lif, governance and socio political implications

RUGA/Cattle Colony is an LGA. With the herdsmen come their families and the full facilities of human settlements. Being exclusively Fulani, therefore the LGA becomes exclusively Moslem.

The LGA must come with Mosques for worship. With the LGA being exclusively Islamic, comes Sharia Courts and Sharia Law, along with Sharia police within the LGA in order to meet the religious and way of life needs of the settlers.

With it comes the need for Emirs or District heads. In one fell swoop suddenly each State in the South East, South South, South West, Middle Belt and other Christian and animist nations, must necessarily legitimise Sharia Law given 6 Sharia LGAs in their States. Inevitably Sharia Law must then be declared and recognised in all States of Nigeria. And boom, Nigeria has become a Sharia country!

Along with Sharia law becoming operational in all States of Nigeria follows Emirates being declared in those States and then demands for more Sharia LGAs and more land and then claims of right to govern the States and so on and so forth!

Legitimate Fulani rights innevitably arise to demand that each State of Nigeria make provisions to accommodate their language whether Fulfude or Hausa in the State Schools and public media broadcasts. The demand for both Sharia Law and dual language in each State of Nigeria would be perfectly legitimate. Why not?

A new ethnic group in Imo State for instance that has 6 LGAs as its homeland plus the original 27 LGAs, would certainly be entitled to have their own language accommodated in Imo Schools and public broadcasts. They will be entitled to vote and be voted for. They will be entitled to have their Sharia Courts and facilities must be dualized to accommodate them and their different way of life. Why not? Are they not also Imolites? After all they have 6 LGA homelands in Imo State. The same must unavoidably happen in all other States in Nigeria where RUGA is implemented, except in Northern States that are totally Sharia Statess.

Their Emirs must seat in the Imo House of Chiefs or traditional rulers and when it becomes one of their turns, an Emir will become the Head of the Imo Council of Ezes! Same must inevitably happen in all relevant States in Nigeria.

In effect, every State in Nigeria suddenly must as a legitimate necessity double up language, culture, judiciary, governance, traditional leadership and all aspects of their lives with the Fulani.

This must be what former President Obasanjo foresaw and accurately described as Fulanisation and Islamisation of Nigeria.

Will Buhari create Igbo and Yoruba Customary Law Courts in Sokoto, Kano, Katsina and in all Northern Moslem States of Nigeria? If not, why not?

Will Buhari also set up a RUGA for the Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Idoma and all other tribes of Nigeria so that Nigeria can be “Igbonised”, “Yorubanised”, “Ijawnised”, “Idomanised”, “Tivinised”, “Ibibionised”, “Edonised”, “Igbiranised”, “efikinised”, “urobonised” and “all kind of nized” with all etnic groups in Nigeria and Christianised and ” animistinized” ?

RUGA/Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colony is outright declaration of Jihad! It won’t work without declaration of war against the indigenous nations of Nigeria and defeating them in a war of conquest!

In RUGA/Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colonies, his Rivers & Riverbanks Bill and support for and protection of Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists plus romance and collaboration with Miyetti Allah, Buhari is directly and indirectly making and levying war against Nigeria .

RUGA/Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colony program is the largest illegal migration in human history in terms of its size. It is unprecedented. It is also the greatest Jihad by stealth being executed through abuse and misuse of Presidential power and privillage to not only attempt to permanently enforce Fulani Caliphate colonisation of Nigeria, but also carry out eventual fulanisation and islamisation of Nigeria without open declaration of war against the indigenous nations of Nigeria.

Every indigenous Nigerian has a duty to resist this Buhari Jihad. Any indigenous nation that accepts RUGA is already on their way to extinction from the face of the earth before they realise it. Ask the Housa Kingdoms of the North or the nations of the Middle Belt that have had to live a life of endless wars of self preservation against the Fulani Caliphate perpertual Jihad.

One must also wonder WHY they are hiding from naming the TWELVE STATES they said have given them land for this Cattle Colonies, a.k.a RUGA (a Fulani word!)
Why do such thing in SECRECY, if it has genuine intentions?
So, Buhari wants to bribe some usless Governor, to give him RUGA land, behind the knowledge of the indigenes who own the land?

INDIGENES should be ready for a very, very serious PROTEST, even against their Governor and any Governor that gives Buhari and his terrorist, Fulani herdsmen Cattle Colony on our land, MUST BE IMPEACHED otherwise, the indigene citizens of that state must make the state ungovernable for him until he is impeached.

They have listed the states, they are mostly apc states. They listed Taraba and Taraba governor have rejected it long before they started, i don't know why they are insisting on taking Taraba

You're right. They've been neglected. The ijaw fishermen are neglected too. No electricity, no portable water, no good school. Fish are no more in their water because of pollution from oil spillage. I think FG should create river for them in the north in order to integrate them.

Also, FG should do initiative like Fulani Development Commission. You know Fulani is a geographical englave like Niger delta or North East and thus does not in anyway benefit in those regions if it finds itself there.

mubi1:
Are the Fulani still a part of us?


The fierce criticisms and public outrage so far expressed against the proposed Ruga Settlement for the Fulani ethnic stock, especially the herders, eloquently explains the coordinated rejection and marginalization that the group has suffered over the years.

Unfortunately, for no fault of theirs, the Fulani people have become complete strangers in their own land, and are most times treated with crass contempt by other Nigerians. I am yet to see or read about any ethnic group in Nigeria that is as alienated, rejected, abused and raped as the Fulani people. Kindly prove me wrong.

While representatives of other ethnic nationalities daily mount the rostrum to demand for their portions of the national cake and other privileges, the Fulani people are never considered or factored into any of such arrangements. An average Fulani man hardly gets anything from the system. These people have no access to basic infrastructure like electricity, road, healthcare services, education, and even a recognised platform to champion their cause.

Sadly, the Fulani elite group has become complicit in the gang up against the Fulani nation. The privileged Fulani elite group is only interested in grabbing power and building personal empires without giving a hoot about the the pitiable plight of the vast majority of the downtrodden among them.

Also, the murderous acts of a few bad eggs among the fulani has further compounded their problems. But punishing or discriminating against an entire ethnic nationality over the sins of a few isn't a proper thing to do. If for nothing, let's consider the law-abiding and innocent ones who are clearly in the majority.

Beyond the hoopla that the Ruga Settlement plan has generated, Nigeria hasn't been fair to the Fulani ethnic nationality. Nigeria has tactically failed to integrate the Fulani nation into her fold. Nigeria belongs to all of us, and it is within our right to demand for inclusion and recognition. In all honesty, the Ruga Settlement plan isn't all that the nation owes the Fulani. We owe them love, empathy, integration and sympathy.

Peace-building Initiatives or arrangements such as the 13 percent oil derivation allocation for oil producing states, Niger Delta Development Commission, North East Development Commission, Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, National Amnesty Programme and Presidential Initiative on the North East were birthed to address certain injustice or neglect.

For the sake of fairness, I think same approach should be adopted in addressing the plight of the Fulani people in Nigeria.

The Fulani people are our brothers and sisters. We cannot afford to leave them out in whatever we do as a nation, especially in the allocation of our resources for development purposes.

Same here n the SW,
They contrive a chaos by instigating their murdering marauders from all across west africa to join in with the ones already here, unleash mayhem on all the host communities throughout Nigeria, only to later call it farmer vs herdsmen clash in order to provide a solution of the most ridiculous kind which is nothing but disguise to complete their jihad. Everyone can see thru the ruse. America has always warned that Nigeria as a failed nation would disintegrate if things aren't restructured and now these Fulanis Arabs are fast accelerating that prediction.

Shut your foocking Mouth.
This RUGA problem transcends Party or Tribe, it is a danger to everybody in the Middle Belt and South of Nigeria and unless the people of the Middle belt and South of Nigeria come together and resist it, the Fulanis will implement it EVERYWHERE, never mind the pretense that it is only for states that agree.

It is people like you that allow the Fulani to keep taking advantage of the South of Nigeria (Yoruba, igbo and South South) because instead of focusing on the problem and danger posed by the terrorist Fulani herdsmen, you are here attacking one of the potential victims, which will also and eventaully include your own state.
GrowUp please.

Accept RUGA settlement in SW, have 2023 presidency. Reject it and forgo 2023. I really sympathise you guys because Tinubu will readily choose the former 1000 times over the later. If you doubt me, hear his quotable quote:

"I will prefer a Buhari even on a hospital stretcher to be president because power will shift to SW in 2023"

You know where to direct your panick and frustrations because RUGA is a direct danger to only SW. Fulanis know who the soft targets are.

STOP msrepresenting others, it wont add food to your table.

Not one single state in the South West has approved any land for Cattle Colony.
This matter transcends "party or tribe". it is a matter of "EXISTENCIAL THREAT" to the whole Middle belt and Southern Nigeria
.
There is vast land in tge southwest o...Federal Govt own the land so they have the rights to establish RUGA settlements anywhere they choose... Southwest must accept RUGA by force!
