The land use act is part of the reason for the nomadic menace from cattle rearers.

The reason why people clash with Fulanis is as a result of cultural misunderstanding.The Fulani culture believes that God created land and grasses for feeding the cattle hence they have no need to stay permanently at a place.They continue moving from place to place in search of greener pastures for their cattle.To them only God owns land and man has no need to acquire one for himself.Most indigenous Nigerian tribes value land and crops which is a sharp contrast with the Fulani who only value cattle.

The Fulani are one of the most dangerous nomadic African ethnic groups. Second only to the Tuareg. Just look at how they control most of Northern Nigeria. Put this in perspective, they are only a minority in Nigeria, but they hold sway over most of the North and they have produce more Presidents than the Igbo or Yoruba combined.

There is something peculiar about this people. Maybe it is their religious zeal. I don't know, but it would seem they are quick to anger.

My question for everyone is why are the Nigerian Fulani like this? I have encountered Fulani from Senegal, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Burkina Faso and they do not seem to act like this. A good friend of mine that I met at my university is a Fulani from Sierra Leone says that her people have a peaceful co-existence with the various Mende & Krio people.

Maybe it is the nomadic Fulani who have kept to the old ways, that need to be trained. I hear the urban Fulani are a totally different people in many aspects.

They are weak niggaz, if not for the curse of christianity other tribes in nigeria could have wiped them out.We've proved how weak they are during a fear battle already.

EzeUche_:

Christianity has pacified us. Our ancestors would not have allowed this abomination to occur on our land. However, the source of Fulani strength is their religious zeal. It is hard to defeat someone who is willing to die in the name of their religion. How do we even counter that?

@sbeezy8: Fulani are not indigenous to any part of Yorubaland, dunno what that dude is talking about. They can make a claim to Guinea, Mali or places like that. Or Sokoto if they like.

In any case, whenever they cause trouble or their cattle eat crops, blood must be shed.

The fulanis have always been warriors. Islam just made it worse.

@Chyz*

Because they conquered the Hausa and Islamised some Nigerians that makes them 'always warriors' and religion/Islam has made it worse?
In other words the local farmers should cower and surrender their source of livelihood because of the above bolded^^ in your view?

You sound like an unreformed 'militant' even a cow or two will not pacify you?

[size=13pt]Fulani/Bororo, Oke-Ogun farmers endless clash over farms [/size]
However, the Alepata of Igboho, Oba (Dr) Johnson Oyeyiola, allayed the fears that the Fulani/Bororo tribe poses a danger to Oke Ogun, saying that there is peaceful coexistence between them. According to him, “we are living here peacefully, we cannot experience what they are having over there in Jos[size=13pt]. ” Mr Sidi Bakare, the secretary of the Fulani community in Oorelope local government also buttressed this when he said, “I was born and bred here, even my forefathers were born here. We are the inidigenous Fulani, we are living in peace with the people of the local government, we really appreciate the peaceful coexistence that exists between us and the other tribes. There is no discrimination, we are accommodated as if we are Yorubas.”[/size]

When does "being born and bred" in an area of Nigeria where your tribe is not indigenious make one a full citizen of the area. If this is the case then the Igbos who have lived in Sabon gari Kano for more than 120 years will be treated as Kano state citizens, the Hausas living in Owerri Rd area of Enugu will become Enugu citizens, while the Yorubas living in P.H for the past 100 years will automatically assume Rivers citizenship.

Bye the way, the above statement will make Afonja of old Oyo empire very proud for allowing the Fulanis to establish in the Kwara area in the first place

I have missed your post, my brother. How far?

Seriously, no one is stopping you from moving around, but you need to respect the the indigence of that land. You cannot just hop in and start causing trouble. Africa is everybody's land, but that privileged should not be disrespected,
