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. Remember Turkey |
