They should take their cow to Mali

Nobody is chasing the fulanis away. All we are saying is leave our forest and bushes. Move to the communities, rent houses as other tribes do in your states. Rent potion for your animals. Pay tax to the government. Contribute to the development of your host community, Pay electricity bill where available.
A tribe just choose to be parasites within a country. Soo bad

We still have a bountiful remains of brain-dead mofos in the South.

Imagine the trash this mofo is spewing.

And this useless idiot has never condemned the destruction of farmlands, raping women and killings of host by these unscrupulous elements.

Is it not so funny that we are yet to hear of a single fulani prosecuted? They protect their own.

But the useless politicians down south will sacrifice their own to remain relevant politically.

Ranching is the solution

Where were this inherent fool, Department of State Security (DSS), the Police and other security agencies in Abia State when the Fulani herdsmen were raping, kidnapping and killing peace-loving people of Bende?

You said it the way I would have put it, but except for the qualifier ' useless idiot', I LL rather go with ' shortsighted and very selfish beings. You are not totally out of place but for the case of decorum and formality.
