I've come to the conclusion that Fulanis and Ijaws are the biggest trouble makers in Nigeria. They are probably the only group have have the courage to look for trouble outside their domain.

This is why we need to sit down and nagotiate Ngieria. The diffrrent ethnic nationalities are yet to see themselves as Nigerians. Why the pretence?

He was said to have fought back by engaging his attackers in a scuffle which eventually led to one of them (attackers) being seriously injured.

Aliyu was said to have narrated his ordeal in the hands of the attackers to his kinsmen, who embarked on a manhunt for the suspected armed robbers.

According to the sources, while Aliyu’s kinsmen were busy hunting for his alleged attackers, some Fulani herdsmen whose kinsman was allegedly wounded by Aliyu during the scuffle were said to have stormed the market and started unleashing terror on any Hausa man on sight, leading to immediate retaliation form the Hausa community during which four people were confirmed killed.

Abagworo:

I will always try to make it clear to those who do not know that the term Hausa-Fulani was coined by the Colonial masters to create an ethnic group larger than Igbo or Yoruba in the North.Fulani is as distinct from Hausa as Xhosa is to Yoruba.Hausa language has nothing in common with Fulfude.Hausas are physically the same with Yorubas while the Fulanis look nothing like us.They look semi Arabic like Chad and Niger people.

So far the responses to this thread have not been very smart. If it was Fulani herdsmen killed members of a predominantly Christian tribe, you would have held it has evidence of Muslim intolerance (Jos immediately comes to mind here).

However, the truth is that Farmers and Nomads will almost always clash without proper regulation by government in terms of providing land for both purposes. People like you just give it a religious colouration to validate your feeble logic and incorrect beliefs thereby blowing the conflict out of proportion and leading to thousands of unnecessary deaths.

We need to know that every time we comment in public we are helping to mould the opinions of other people- let us propagate positive ideas and sentiments and not imply that some lives are less valuable than others thereby devaluing ours.

Shame on all of you who do that.
