The apex Yoruba socio-cultural organisations, Afenifere has warned their counterpart in the north, Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, against fanning the flames of war in the country.

Afenifere established that ACF’s support for setting up settlements for Fulani herdsmen across Nigeria was another way of calling for war.

The Yoruba organization was reacting to the latest position of the ACF where the Northern group urged those opposed to the setting up of Fulani herdsmen settlements, popularly called Ruga, across the country to drop their opposition and allow the policy take off.

Afenifere, through its spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, told reporters that “these people are praying for a war.

“They want to set Nigeria on fire, ablaze. Let us warn them loud and clear, the coalition that fought the civil war between 1967 and 1970 has collapsed forever.

“They should not think that they can go and fight anybody now and win. We know history even in 1967; we know where victory came in that war.

“They should be careful the way they are going. They should let us live in peace and harmony on the basis of true federalism, but if they think that they can lord it over the rest of the country because they hold temporary power for four years, they are playing with fire.

“There was a country called Soviet Union; there was a country called Czechoslovakia and there was a country called Yugoslavia; those countries are no more on the world map today, so, they should not let that be the fate of Nigeria the way they are going; they should be very careful.

“They are looking for something else, which is not in the interest of the country. To say that they want Ruga settlements implemented all over the country is a declaration of war on the rest of us.

“The federal government through its body language, policy, action has turned sectional and that is why nothing is happening to these people making this hate speech.

“What did Nnamdi Kanu do that they charged him for treason? But the government is keeping quiet when a group is issuing threat against a section of the country because they are protesting against cows destroying their farm crops.

“Today, unfortunately, the federal government is losing its authority by allowing a group to issue threats against citizens; we are on the road to Kigali.

“This is just about conquest, domination, land grabbing, and forceful take over of territory; go back to history, the entire Hausa land today, Berom and Ilorin, they never have emirs, there is no town in Hausa land today that the Fulani built, but go everywhere; go to Zamfara, they have emirs everywhere. How did they do it? They used religion then to take over the territory, now they want to use cattle to take over the rest of the territory of Nigeria.”

If only we can also become Nigerians but no, we prefer to be Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba etc.

Must war be the first option?

On another note, why is it so difficult to arrest these killer herdsmen?

somebody once said buhari will take his hand and disintegrate Nigeria - clearly its heading that way.

the sad thing is, muslim north seems not to realize that we are no longer in 1967.



Northeast is made up of 48% frustrated native Christians who were used to fight the civil war.

Northwest has 50% frustrated native Christians who were used by the north to fight the civil war.

middle belt has 80% frustrated natives Christians who where used by the north to fight the civil war.

now the people in these zones who where used to fight the civil war are now sooo frustrated, brutalized and usurped by the fulanis so much so that they will never have anything to do with them ever!


the southwest, even thou unpredictable, will definitely not fight on the side of fulani north.


SO AS IT STANDS NOW, IT SEEMS THE FULANI NORTH ARE SO BLIND TO READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL.

IF FOR ANY REASON THEY DECIDE TO BRING DOWN THE ROOF OF THIS SHITHOLE COUNTRY, THEY WILL BE THE GREATEST LOSERS AND IT MAY BE THE END OF FULANI IN NIGERIA. CAUSE AS IT STANDS NOW, NO ETHNIC GROUP IN NIGERIA WANTS TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM - EVEN THE HAUSAS IF GIVEN THE CHANCE WILL GLADLY THROW OUT THE FULANIS.


I WILL ADVICE THE NORTHERN OLIGARCHS TO THREAD WITH CAUTION.

Op truth n the truth

War war in you people mouth. When it starts now all of them will run to Europe and America leaving the common man to suffer.

Perhaps these idiots still thinks there is one monolithic north.Abeg ask Gowon & Danjuma.

Truth

Akuko! You're as naive as the 1966 coup plotters, thinking that Nigeria wouldnt unite to force the union upon you, best get used that national anthem, you'll sing it till you die.

Nigeria is nothing but a cultural experiment by colonialist "how long can we keep these people with their divegent cultures and ideologies as a single Nation before the blew themselves to hell"

comprehension is really difficult for some.



oh! let me give you an offside advice - be proud of who u are even if you are from the lathering.

using igbo handle will never make you an igbo. be proud of the toilet you came from cause that is an identity you will die with.

I support you Afenifere and Ndi Yoruba. The Fulani think that they are easy meat. They dont remember that without Awolowo, Obasanjo and the Black Scorpion, they would have been trounced by the Igbo.
