The purpose of this thread is to raise awareness! You are seeing this first in Nairaland.

The first point here is to restate what everyone of us know, that authority figures around the country have been meeting with MACBAN. These authority figures are State Governors, Traditional Rulers, Security Forces, The Presidency, and so on and so forth. Who is MACBAN?

MACBAN is nothing but a trade association of cattle breeders and their sole function is to represent Fulani. They do not have Yoruba cattle herders or Ibo cattle herders or Tiv cattle herders in their membership. MACBAN is ethnic, it is not a national representation even though the N in its acronym stands for Nigeria.

It is different from Fish Sellers Association of Nigeria, Meat Sellers Association of Nigeria, Vegetable Sellers Association of Nigeria, Fruit Marketers Trade Union, National Union of Road Transport Workers, Computer Traders Association of Nigeria, or any other trade association or labour union that is formed to include all ethnic groups with skills in their respective area of trade.

Therefore when authority figures meet with MACBAN they are meeting with a ethnic group representation. Any agreement they make with them is an agreement entered into with Fulani ethnic. Any concession of land, access, or peace made with them is a concession given to Fulani ethnic group.

Let's pause and reflect on some issues here. Authority figures will not invite in Fish Marketers Association of Nigeria to address grievance which if resolved is a benefit to all Fish Traders in all ethnic groups in the country....they will call them condescending names. Who has time to meet with Market fish women...Pepper sellers...Building materials hawkers....Road Transport union.... But they willfully invite and meet with cow herder whose mission is to safeguard Fulani interest against National interest! Why?

If authority figures meet with Yam Growers Union imagine the extent of benefit to all cultures that grow yam and where they have annual rites for yam harvest. Think about how interest from government to address issues of yam farming and yield could also get financial investors and researchers to develop market and academic programs and get graduates involved in yam farming which would then help bring down unemployment and improve our self-sufficiency in yam production as well surge our export and make yam a revenue generator for the nation. Yam grows everywhere in South, everywhere in Middle Belt except maybe Plateau, and grows as far North as Kaduna and even in Zaria. It's a national crop, not ethnic! Beside boiling or roasting yam in it's natural state it also has derivatives in flour, in flakes, in snack foods, as farm feed for pastoral animals. It's shelf life is long...when properly stored it can stay nine months without any preservative and still be good for consumption.

Farmers of yam nationwide and their yield are at risk because of cow herders and our authority figures are treating ethnic MACBAN with privilege and glove hands and protecting ethnic interest of Fulani above national interest of everybody else.

Unacceptable! Unacceptable!! Unacceptable!!!


To be continued...

Na lagos agbero come better pass?

No make me go Oshodi for your case o!

I want to talk on issue of security and gun possession by Fulani cow herders. First, there are cow herders that are not Fulani, they are in minority but they also take their herd on grazing. They are not as far roaming as Fulani. Usually non-Fulani herders are just within a region. For instance Yoruba might herd their flocks to graze from Ore through the bush and farmlands all the way to Ilorin, then turn around return through Offa to Oshogbo to Ede, to Oke Ogun and down to Aiyetoro. An Ibo cow herder might go from Obudu to Ikot to Umuahia, Abakaliki, Afikpo, Enugu to Nsukka and return via Aguleri to Awka to Owerri.

All herders whether Yoruba, Ibo, Tiv, Idoma, Fulani, face the same risks and challenges when in the field. Stick is the traditional symbol of herding anywhere in the world, not gun. In particular, not assault rifle with automatic loading and lethal force. The Yoruba, Ibo, Tiv, Idoma herders are not encountering lions and hyenas when out grazing, so why is Fulani the only one armed out of fear they will come across lion? Farmers do not complain of Yoruba, Ibo, Tiv, Idoma herders bringing herds to destroy their farms and yields but they are always complaining about Fulani herders straying into their farms and destroying crops and land. If Fulani herder did not have a gun he carries would a farmer stand such an insult and allow destruction of his labour and toil? No! So isn't the carrying arms by Fulani purposely to intimidate and cower farmers into submitting their livelihoods at "gunpoint" to his cows to feed?

So when we look at issue of security in this regard let us accept that the attempt by Fulani ethnic group using MACBAN as front to subdue other ethnics through use of lethal force is, first, to have unlawful access, to steal and to destroy their livelihoods; second, to humilate, dominate and destroy the family bonds and ties of loyalty by raping the women. Rape of women, when it goes unpunished is rape of culture because women own culture. The third approach to subduing others is using a trick used by marketers to price commodities. This approach moves Fulani ethnic UP and positions them as a critical partner in security, and a solution to protect us and our land from being forcefully dispossessed from our ownership. Many of you have seen what trick is used in pricing but you were not aware and got sucked into it. I'm going to break it down and give you the knowledge of it here.


I sell cooking oil. Cooking oils come in different grade, whether it is red oil, groundnut oil, vegetable oil, or any plant-based oil used for cooking. My oils are bottled and sold in same 1 liter size. So no difference in size of bottle but their grades are different by type. I am going to trick you and make you buy only vegetable oil from my display of the different types and I am using pricing to influence your purchasing decision. Here are the products and their prices:

red oil - 800 naira per bottle, no discount
groundnut oil = 800 naira per bottle, no discount
vegetable oil - 1000 naira per bottle, but if you buy two bottles the third will be only 200 naira.

My sale of vegetable oil will outperform other grades even though its price is more. The gain is in the discount because market is unpredictable and buyers want to protect their pocket against price inflation and commodity scarcity.

Here is the arithmetic...
red oil @800 per bottle x 3 = 2400 naira.
groundnut oil @800 per bottle x3 = 2400 naira
vegetable oil @1000 per bottle x2 = 2000 naira + an extra bottle @200 = 2200 naira.

Now, you do know there are buyers that will get that vegetable oil at 1000 naira just because of cognitive bias...that is, the belief that a higher priced commodity is always a better quality than similar ones at lower price. Also, there are people that just need red oil or groundnut oil and will turn down the discount offer in vegetable oil...but they will be in the minority. These two types of buyers are the exceptions and in small number, overall vegetable oil will top my sale records and stand out as the most appealing purchase.

Now that you know what this trick is, let's return to the subject.

So while MACBAN is using violent force in the field to shape discretions it is also using political lobbying to influence response. When they attack a village and the victims send out alerts for help and security forces do not respond, then very soon it becomes common knowledge that security forces will not respond to call for help. When these attacks become rampant and deployed everywhere then they take the shape of a franchise. Every locale that is attacked begin to have same story of unresponsiveness from security agencies. It thus becomes predictive that Fulani attack will happen and no one knows whose turn is next or where they will strike next. In actuality they even gained notoriety and became acceptable in society that "Fulani does not forget, if you kill one a army of them will do a reprisal, and it is better not to even kill any". While this message was making round and gaining circulation there was no counter-message from the victims, instead they in turn helped to push the message into wider circulation and gave it energy and made Fulani legendary as a force not to offend. Where has that brought us?

Next stage! The stage of pricing! The Fulani terror franchise has become like my vegetable oil, the most appealing purchase, the top security solution!

When our governors and traditional rulers meet with MACBAN, they are in essense bargaining to be spared of Fulani attack. They have subscribed to the notion that Fulani is untouchable, you kill Fulani at your own risk.....even when Fulani has succeeded in putting the whole nation at risk! So what's the need for a security meeting with MACBAN? Why are authority figures - governors, traditional rulers, meeting with those who authorize rape, killing, arson as modus operandi for herding cattle?

Did anyone bargain with Evans and say, look dude, we want peace in our communities, we want you to take your kidnapping business elsewhere? No! The law says kidnapping is an offense, a crime. Anyone caught will be prosecuted. Now the law did not catch Evans....they went in search of him, he continued to evade them and because he is a risk to society they did not give up until they cornered and arrested him and took him to jail.

Here are the lists of atrocities committed by Fulani herders:

Arson - the burning down of building structures and shelters, farms and crop storage facilities
Vandalism - the destruction of properties of value in living quarters, on farms and infrastructures of society
Rape - the uninvited and forceful entry against the will and consent of a woman of any age and marital status
Murder - premeditated and malicious attack, assault, with intent to terminate life
Massacre - premeditated plot and wipe out of multiple lives in one episode or episodes followed up back to back
Assault - act intended to bully, intimidate, scare others and cause fear and risk
Attack - physical contact that cause emotional, mental and body distress whether direct or indirect
Theft - stealing products and taking properties belonging to others without their approval
Armed Robbery - dispossessing others of their valuables and belongings with threat of fatal force
Threat - sending messages of intent to attack, assault others, whether immediate or scheduled to be carried out at a time in future
Terrorism - persistent and consistent disruption of peace and security in a land that is injurious to trade, economy, livelihood and movement

I ask anyone to point to any of these atrocities that is not against the law. Yet all are committed by MACBAN using Fulani herders in field.


In case anyone care to know, Nigeria has a Firearms Act and Fulani is not given waiver to carry unlicensed gun with impunity. In fact they are not qualified to be lincensed for gun ownership and possession given their tract record with gun violence.

http://www.nigeria-law.org/Firearms%20Act.htm

By meeting with MACBAN for security, our governors and traditional rulers are made to believe that MACBAN has the solution for partnership to end insecurity. Insecurity should not have occurred to begin with if they had not failed early on to take decisive action against Fulani herders. The constitution allows for all Nigerians to be everywhere but it does not approve of rape, murder, arson, kidnapping everywhere....or anywhere! So Fulani herders have contravened the spirit and letters of the constitution and must be barred from everywhere they are a threat to the society and its culture. That's what advocates of the Nigerian Constitution must do. Those who meet with MACBAN are advocating Fulani Constitution, not Nigerian Constitution.....and Fulani Constitution are things I already outlined in last post.

If there are problems in motor parks across Yorubaland and women are raped, passengers are robbed, passers by are gunned down, then NURTW says these things are happening because of some bad members and since every labour union have bad elements in them it sees nothing wrong with the reports coming from motor parks, will Governors and traditional rulers across Yorubaland start meeting with NURTW as a security partner?

Those who meet with MACBAN whether in Yorubaland, in Iboland, in MiddleBelt, and partnering with them for security have concluded that MACBAN, a union of Fulani cow herders that rape Yoruba, Ibo, Tiv, Idoma, Jukun women and kill their sons are also the solutions and they should be begged, instead of arrested and imprisoned. In effect our authority figures are endorsing acts of rape and murder when they sit in same room and negotiate peace with criminals sponsoring take over of their culture and homeland.

If Nigeria must END...so be it, let it END! Whose loss? We want our authority figures to desist from any future meeting or association with MACBAN, and whatever agreements and concessions they have already given to MACBAN should be nulled and trashed! MACBAN is not the security authority for Nigeria and the security of Nigeria is not in their hand. Issue order (not warning....enough warnings please!).....ISSUE ORDER and instruct that any Fulani herder coming into your land does so at his own risk. If his presence or action leads to any loss or injury in the land he will be summarily killed....not arrested, but KILLED!

Again, if Nigeria must END....let it END! Terror for Terror!

You made very valid point and I must commend you for the piece you took to outline.
There is a problem, ordinary Nigerians do not have guns and secondly they are too afraid to die.infact most prefer to be slaves than to die fighting for freedom.
The only thing that can save Nigeria at this point is for the locals to get guns whether local and foreign made and fight this herdsmen.
Another way to save Nigeria is through economic sabotage. The only reason why people have not taken to the street to demand a change in the way things are being done here is because they are still going to work getting and are enjoying the good things of life. I wish the Militants will resume their destruction of oil pipelines and sustain it so that the whole country can fill it.

This is sad indeed but trust me Macban or Fulani herdsmen or whatever will not be having their way anywhere in Nigeria. Time will tell though.

Very useless posts, you guys voted for the lifeless terrorist so enjoy it.

Very excellent points and unbiased analysis. If more effort were directed to spread this line of thought, all these sitting and negotiations with Fulani demons would have ended since 1952.

But you voted for a known fulani ethnic champion.

Thanks for your response and observation. There are many ways to approach the macban problem and the one I favor is the counter-force using ethnic organisations equipped to fight this kind of war. I call it war because it fits perfectly into definition of guerilla war.

Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which a small group of combatants, such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility, to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military.

You can see how this definition is the exact situation we have. It is Fulani guerilla warfare packaged and marketed as farmer/herder clash. So what we need is for those who do not already have a ethnic army to raise one and use lethal force of terror to counter the macban war machine. I do not subscribe to arming individuals. The reason is because those same arms used to combat Fulani would soon afterward be used to rob and terrorize homeland when Fulani has been liquidated. So better to have a controlled supply and in the hands of a truly ethnic force fighting for fatherland.

In countries where soldiering is a profession, a soldier is not allowed luxuries. This is because luxuries bind the person to material comfort and make them loathe war and combat. Too many of our leaders are in luxuries, the fear of loosing their privilege and comfort is making them loathe confrontation.

But you voted for a known fulani ethnic champion.

There were two Fulani running for President, they both own cows. Buhari own 150 cows, Atiku own over 1000 cows. They are both MACBAN Grand Patrons. Both have their herd of cows grazed by ak47 and machette wielding fulani herder.

Tell me how you would have voted a non-fiulani in last election. Im waiting....

Now that ruga is suspended, what's on the horizon?

Ruga was a distraction for something else. I will explain how. Let's return to my oil commodity business I shared earlier so I can use its application to highlight the underlying goal for ruga.

Oil is oil, whether red, groundnut, vegetable, corn, canola....they will all cook food and we shall eat the food. No hungry man ever turn a food down because it was cooked in red oil instead of vegetable oil. Tastiness is what stand food apart, not the oil used in cooking it. However, the type of oil used serves as an agent for other condiments mixed into the pot to release their flavour and give it the desired taste. So does it truly matter whether a bottle of oil at 1000 naira is better than a bottle of oil at 800 naira? It's a ploy to make the consumer believe a 1000 naira oil is better quality than 800 naira. We don't go into market to find out cost of production of commodities in order that we don't overpay on the price. Allright but let's look at cost....in order words, let's go behind the scene and inspect the underlying ploy.

red oil is sold at 800 naira per bottle but total cost of production and marketing is 500 naira. To break even I need to sell it for 550 naira. So why did I price it at 800 naira? Remember I was using it as a gimmick...to trick buyers into buying vegetable oil off my shelf. The goal for sale is truly to empty the shelf for vegetable oil. On its own vegetable oil is a slow sale, to fast forward its sale I threw in a discount but I risk also turning customers off, discount or not. If my vegetable oil sells at 1000 per bottle, buy two get third at 200 naira and my red oil sells at 550 naira. That will raise eyebrow...that's red flag! So i camouflage my ploy using red oil....I raised its price close enough to that of vegetable oil that flags do not go off!

A colony is a colony, whether you call it ranch or ruga! These are just fancy names. What they want is ranch but that already met with resistance (not rejection) so they came up with ruga which is brute and direct. Now we rejected ruga....the next stage is to bring ranch back. Many that rejected and opposed ruga will now fall back and praise FG for giving them a better option than ruga. Ondo Governor already fall my hand in this regard. Akeredolu said he doesnt want ruga but will agree to ranching. See as macban, a union of cow herders outsmarted a SAN!

If Akeredolu sells me a ranch. I can tell my brother to apply and get him a ranch next to mine. I tell my uncle to apply, gets a ranch across from me. .....before you know it we have bought up enough land for ranches that we already have a ruga colony. Now what? Are you going to seize the ranches from us? All your fears against ruga are now actualized using ranches on your land.

....to be continued!


modified after new discovery from Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council.

“We urge the Coalition of Northern groups to direct Northern Governors to opt for the second option of ranching through this peaceful National livestock Transformation Programme rather than Ruga settlement, which was clearly rejected by the Southern Nigeria, especially the South East /South-South Governors and the people.

Yar'adua was a fulani and he owed cows but was never a terrorist or ethnic champion like Buhari.

Every northern household owes at least one cow and they graze them.

for once you are making sense

These are great points. I suggest you outline them formally in an essay and publish it.

The modus operandi of the hausa fulani is to make outrageous and bold demands while our political office holders (they are not leaders) cower in the shadows. The hausa ask for oil wells when they have no oil. They ask for access to the sea. They ask for political power. They control the army. They want land in other states.

What do we ask for ? A measly 13% of our own resources.

We are not yet politically astute to take back power.

Someday. Maybe.

Buhari does not have dangerous idea. You have not studied Buhari well to understand who he is. You are responding from a position of cognitive bias.

Buhari is a conservatist. Every nation prays to have someone like Buhari in leadership. I sincerely wish we have a Buhari in Yorubaland.

Buhari's problem is he is daring. Thats his only issue. His daring moves elevates risks and encroaches on other people margin of comfort. But he also knows to back off when people bark back at him.

We will need to continue to bark at him and keep him behind lines every time he crosses it. Thats how to dialogue with Buhari and keep the balance.

Please write this down so you can reference in future.

In fact I wish there are three Buharis in Yorubaland.

Study your leaders and know them thoroughly so you can speak objectively in public about them.

Thanks for your response.
I wrote in a different thread last week that the global best practice is having leadership trained in western ideologies take political roles to advance societies. Our political leadership in Nigeria is still at best occupied by people undertrained in western ideologies. They use native sense for guidance and they are in the mainstream. Their leadership style is predatory. In the South, western ideology in both academics and religion is fast gaining ground but it is also doing us damage by weakening our native abilities. We have prey instincts, against the predator instincts of the North. Our leaders in South do not know how to devour others and feed them to their children.

There are two options,
1. That South begin to elect leaders with predatory sense

2. That North get rid of its predator political hawks and replace with new age leaders skilled in western ideologies

3. Divide the country and let each region live by its own best practice independently.
