The Yoruba Youths Forum has warned the South-West governors and the geopolitical zone’s traditional rulers against ceding Yoruba land to Fulani herdsmen.

The YYF also rejected the suspension of the Ruga settlements policy for herdsmen, saying that rather than suspending it, “the Federal Government should forget about it completely.”

The group also told the governors to oppose the takeover of any part of Yoruba land by Fulani settlers.


In a statement the group released after its emergency meeting on Tuesday and signed by its President, Abiodun Bolarinwa, the YYF said accommodating the Federal Government’s Ruga Settlement scheme would not augur well for the South-West.

“We want to use this opportunity to warn any South-West governor or monarch against ceding any part of Yoruba land to herdsmen for Ruga settlement. The consequence for daring us will be dire,” he said.

Bolarinwa added that any governor in the South-West that gave out any land to Fulani herdsmen for settlement would be rejected by all the Yoruba people and dealt with seriously.

This is not hatred. This is fact. Why are they not talking about another tribe? Why are they particularly warning their Leaders and Rulers against SELLING lands to Fulani?


Because a tribe cannot come with its Backwardness and Transgenerational Conspiracy Trait, and begin to maul everyone down, then believe they'll love them. Forget it, they can never be loved.

Never.

Please delete those two insulting posts of yours. That imposter will surely get you banned.
Modify them asap.

Will you keep quiet? So can not sale their personal property in peace again?

I would have supported your stance but the banditry going on in the northwest is
a wakeup call to any concerned group in the country.
If the bandits/herdsmen won't even respect their tribesmen lives, we can
guess how they will treat others.

Prevention is better than cure!
