get a br.ain,cos I am sure yo.u don't have one.
are yorubas the only tribe in Nigeria,there are more than 50 tribes in Nigeria,why don't you transfer your aggression on them,so without Yorubas,no tribe can fight for their independence.

Reyginus:
No, it's simply a collection of agreements upon which a country is forged. A kind of little constitution where the conditions for leaving is briefly explained.

It's like being in a group without having a reason why you are in it etched somewhere. Like your autonomous meetings without a foundation from the outset. But I think we have one.

kropotkin11:
The fulanis who are Nigerians just like the rest of us have a constitutional right to unrestricted movement to all parts of the country. The law enforcement agencies also have a duty to provide protection to all Nigerians everywhere

Bigblogman:
One of the most irritating comments of this administration.

mayorkyzo:
I wonder why buhari is mute on this issue..its beats mine and everybody's imagination...I personally believe these herdsmen are acting a planned script...these are well timed and executed attacks...they are not random..we down south need to sit up...take up arms and defend ourselves...we can't continue to wait for the federal govt...

figment232:
Can't these people defend themselves.Fighting these Fulani herdsmen is nt rocket science na....apologies to the "mere commission"

phayvoursky:
SHE NEVER KNEW SHE HAD SICKLE CELL UNTIL SHE GAVE BIRTH TO 5 OF HER 6 CHILDREN.


SOMETIMES KNOWLEDGE IS DESTRUCTIVE.

SHOULD SHE HAVE KNOWN SHE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE LIVED THIS LONG.

codedguy1:
35million fulani herdmen?

Does this number include the cows or what?

snailspeed:
You are talking nonsense my friend. That is nothing but a propaganda line. When GEJ went to see the soldiers in Baga before the elections, they were very excited to see him. The lastest video currently flying around on social media shows how the current government has been treating our soldiers in the front lines like rags. Even the ones that died fighting for the country were treated like trash and buried without honour. So forget your fake propaganda. It wont fly!

kingdompropty:
We saw these long coming, Mr. Buhari is turning to a tyrant.

All historical cases of tyranny have followed the recent order.


1. Disobey court order.

2. Insult your people.

3. Receive applause from sycophants.

4. Kill or silent opposition.

5. Create a one party state.

We hope it's not true. If terrorists detain daughters for going to school is bad enough, what is the good in the govt doing similarly to their protesting mothers?

Etc.

obasiken:
But truly this matter needs to be heard by a competent court and not swept under the rug. Else we are just encouraging impunity.

philGeo:
With due respect Sir, Nigeria is not an Islamic Nation, there is nothing wrong with fighting terrorist, but we are not islamic country, ok can we register Nigeria under Christian nation? You and your brother will kill every Christian leaving in North.

koxyz:
If this can happen to a prominent citizen of this country,I wonder what would be the faith of ordinary citizen,if any issue arise between them and the millitary.All Nigerians,irrespective of religious affilliation should stand up and condem this.An injustice to one,is an injustice to all.

streetdisciple:
Wrong move trump.... You are a business man n you have businesses in the Muslim world

massinola:
And what jail term or fine awaits an individual, firm, organizations, group of people, or government that makes unrealistic promises to another and comes back to deny them. we are waiting and watching.

menabadoo:
To think that I'm in thesame country with this people.

Biodun37:
Madness must be running through your vein when putting up this post if not you will not forget to add that Christians should also accept responsibility for a routine massacre of Palestinians for simply asking for what belong to them

JingoOAU:
Mistresses like Kema Chikwe, Stella Oduah, Dieziani....these 3 I can confirm authoritatively that they were mistresses to power that be...Kema Chikwe to OBJ, while Stella and Dieziani to GEJ...

APC is right

hinwazaka:
GEJ and the PDP could have used the judiciary to sack Fashola and other ACN and CPC governors, during their dispensation, but they didn't. Because they know how power should be handled. Power is a very intoxicating and dangerous drug. Once addicted, the abuser is forever dead. The President and his party is playing right into the hands of the PDP, and they stup1dly don't know it. The portrait of them is being painted as a party that is autocratic, dictatorial, violent, unlawful and dangerously superficial. In 2 years time, when things are no more smooth, when the 8trillion wonder budget is now known as a publicity stunt, when 5k allowance scam is now officially a scam, when oil prices remain at a dangerous level, when all policies of the APC have failed woefully and ministers like Amaechi and Fashola have begun their old tricks, the actions of today will come back to bite them. Because then, BUHARI and his paranoia will go into full effect and he will become another Abacha, that people want gone. Soon and very soon, it will become very dangerous to be an APC supporter

Pavore9:
“All Fulani should be given opportunity to go to school. These Fulani should be educated. I am one of them. I am Fulani. Had I not been educated, imagine what I would have been today; I probably would have been in the forest.”....The Southerners did not stop them from going to school, their illiteracy is inflicted by the likes of Kwankwaso who got educated but did not aggressively see to it that their tribesmen and women get the same education!

jakiedudu:
*Before Olu Falae was kidnapped, he had series of confrontations with fulani herdsmen on his farm.

*Then on one of such faceoffs, he was abducted. On the day of his abduction, the suspected fulani herdsmen came with guns and fired shots, thus over powering his workers. After that, he was kidnapped.

*He spend four days with the kidnappers after which he was released after ransom was paid. Then he was warned off that if he speaks about the kidnap or even try to identify them, they will come for him.

* After his release, he made his way and was found by the police. He began to describe his experience with the fulani kidnappers and how he sleeped on the floor for four days.

*Olu Falae began to voice of his anger at the wickedness and impunity of fulani herdsmen who always terrorize him on his farm.

* Days after his release, his farm was completely destroyed.

* Afinifere and other socio cultural groups threatens seccesion.

* The police came in trying to diffuse the situation. They defended fulani herdsmen. That criminals were responsible for his abduction. Were the criminals responsible for the destruction of Olu Falae's farmland? Of what gain is destruction of farmland to criminals? Sponsored criminals can be hired to settle scores on rivals.

* Several days after, the security agencies arrested some youths suspected to be behind Olu's kidnap.

* Security agencies maintained their stance that fulani herdsmen were never responsible for the kidnapp. Blaming it on criminals.

* Northern groups all rise in defence of fulani herdsmen. They also accused Olu Falae of trying to raise unnecessary ethinc tension in the country. The Northern groups all spoke in unison with the police.

* Olu Falae, the victim of kidnap, persistent violence and conflict on his farmland with fulani herdsmen was made to look like a tribal trouble maker trying to create tension.

These and more are some of the happenings surrounding Olu Falae's kidnap.

It is on record that in the middle belt, hundreds of farmland are being destroyed yearly for no reason by fulani herdmen without any form of provocation. There's an EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT of a farmer in the middle belt who lost all his farm produce to fulani herdmen. These people came in broad daylight with their cows and started grazzing on his crops for no reason. The farmer on sighting this, rush out to confront the fulanis. Unfortunately for him, the fulanis were armed to the teeth. They started shooting on sighting him. The farmer had to run for his dear life. What even made matters worse that day was the rain. It was raining heavily that afternoon when the fulanis came with their cows and started grazing on the poor farmer's crops. Deliberate destruction of farmlands is still ungoing in the middle belt by these people.

From the above observations, it is very clear that there's a conspiracy by unseen people to shutup Olu Falae's kidnap with the tag CRIMINALS.

koreskbv:
Why cant the Fulani's be encouraged to adopt the ranching system, why is it that we like being at the backwaters in all facet of life. The ranching system is truly the way to go, but with our narrow silly way of doing things they might just resist doing it claiming it is not their traditional way of of life. Come to think of it, we are in no way close to Argentina in beef production yet you don't see herdsmen on their roads or cattle's rummaging on peoples farmlands. The world over, ranching is the norm, their forefathers were once nomads yet they have shifted far far away from those practices and adopted modern and better ways of rearing cattle. The Fulani man is in no way interested in such changes.

PenSniper:
If the claim of this writer to being an elder is true, then one can safely assume there are no elders worth the appelation where he comes from.

Glossing over the truth and dodging the real issue won't help you and your rampaging animals in the SW.

It takes a mental case to pretend not to know the infamous reputation of fulani herdsmen all over nigeria.

Well, you may call our leaders names to suit your ego but you and your ilks would do well to take FFK's words and the warnings by YCE serious otherwise you have another thing coming.

The Yoruba may be accommodating, hospitable and tolerant but there is a limit to provocations we can take.
The silent agility of a tiger does not signify cowardice but tact occasioned by civilization.

Chiaka:
They should stop destroying peoples source of livelihood like farm land and attack on natives farmers/villages and rape. Respect for others should be encouraged. They should be checked and seek other modern ways to feed their cows. Wearing animal Skin cloth is an aged longed tradition.......but these days people now wear modern clothes...........they should not remain nomadic because its an aged old tradition.....is like telling a farmer never to engage in mechanised farming because using hoes and cutlass is an old tradition and should be maintained.....we cannot move forward as a nation with such backward mentality.

lincolnj88:
when we say we d igbos are different from these animals they called us wailers

ProfessorPeter:
am in total support of what FFK wrote. An average Fulani is heartless, wicked and lawless. They can kill, maim, rape and destroy without provocation. The people in southern part of Nigeria must come together and fight this menace. If not we are doomed

sean079:
I actually don't understand if nigeria is progressing or retrogressing. This is an old agro practice that the so called giant of Africa ought to have abolished. Now we see peopleI praising former agric minister adeshina that he did very well. This same problem is responsible for gruesome murder of middle beltan population. This problem needs to be addressed urgently

bonechamberlain:
with such boldness on the part of the kidnappers, I think olu falae needs an army of guards.

I don't know what Nigerians are waiting for to protects themselves from these fulani terrorists using whatever means. as we can see their leaders in the north are keeping quiet including buhari, this was how b.haram started, they all kept sealed lips, until it became a hydra monster. I hope these Fulani people wouldn't be allowed to become more of a monster, when it does u would start hearing useless comments and condemnations from so called elder statesmen, emirs, sultans, obi's obas and various religious bodies.

merry02:
Well said if they want freedom , so be it!
There is nothing call one Nigeria when some part of the country is been marginalized..

Obiagelli:
I have read countless comments from the pdp and it's supporters about the decision by JP Morgan to remove Nigeria from it's bond index, the truth of the matter is that they had warned to remove is as far back as January 2015 for currency restrictions.

Was Buhari president in January?



www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-05/nigeria-woes-deepen-as-jpmorgan-hits-emefiele-with-debt-warning


NB. I am totally indifferent about currency restrictions or JP Morgan itself.

I heard tonyebarcanista or Barcanista mentioned this as Buhari's failure in his thread.

softapples:
Wearing of trousers by Nigerian ladies has generated a lot of controversies. People have continued to argue if the practice is sinful or not.
Ladies on trouser?

While some churches welcome and promote it, others preach against it. Those who are against it base their stand on Deuteronomy 22: 5, which says: “The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”

Churches, which do not condemn wearing of trousers by women, believe that grace has put an end to such law.

Some people, especially young females, decide the church they will attend based on whether wearing of trousers is allowed or not.
