Look at the level of your mentality so you think am trying to seek favor from some i do not know.You must be a motherfuxker all fingers are not equal you should know that.

Look at the animal opening his smelling gworo mouth here.

Well don't make threats friend, we are in a civilized society where everyone is free to air his or her views.
Are you going to at the gentle man called beaf because he does not agree with you.

That is the problem with we Nigerians my way or no other way.

If they had done these when people where been killed by boko haram then it would be nice not now mate.

Why are you guys attacking beaf that's not right is it because he believes in a cause. Most of you complaining know deep down in your heart this is the right way to go.Except you have an interior motive.

The deed has been done what i expect you guys to discuss is how do we move forward.

Do you know why our refineries where not working to full capacity it is because of the subsidy some people have carved a niche for themselves to suck blood out of our great country Nigeria. It is a shame some of you cannot see beyond your nose.

You guys have to give Jonah chance he his not a magician and i know he his not silly.

Next on the line expenses will be cut, Power will be fully deregulated.

We have to move economic activities out of lagos  open the port in warri, ph , direct rail system to connect states,have an operating ferry system.

Omo_Tier1 you are a prat and i mean it, tell NLC to try it then you will understand what am saying.Jonah leaves no one Nigeria, what boko haram is doing will be child's play.

Nothing good come's easy.

Any attempt to intimidate Jonah boy you people would not believe the swift action. Full deregulation of the economy, passing PIB, then resource control next.
The cabal are mostly Yoruba with there Fulani masters.
If you people do not want wahala leave Jonah to do his work or else.
Nigerians are bloody lazy and daft they look up to the western world do you know the sacrifice the people in the west make do you know how much they pay here.
You have to live within your means.
The same vigor they using to fighting subsidy they should use it to fight the upper chambers.
Matchew

Jonah leaves no Nigeria gbam

NLC could not fight for PIB,Rep and senate expenses they could not come out to condemn boko haram,they are very selfish.Ask them how much do they earn.

my guy dis ground na blood o your wife dey send u 400 cad every month u no ask am how she take dey survive.

The events since 1960 flag independence have since confirmed that Nigeria is the estate of Uthman Dan Fodio. Rather than a republic, Nigeria is a sultanate. Efforts of the other ethnic groups especially in the Southern part of the country to be masters of their own destinies have been flagrantly undermined and frustrated using the minorities in the North as the tools over and over. The statement credited to Ahmadu Bello above was made just 11 days after Nigeria’s so-called independence. Soon after that, the process of taking up the whole country as an estate commenced. In 1962, the Balewa government organized another census “by headcount.” Historical records show that the preliminary results of that exercise gave the South “a clear majority.” A “supplementary count” was “immediately taken in the Northern region that turned up additional 9 million persons” reportedly missed in the first count. The questions are: (1) How could such an exercise miss 9 million persons? (2) How could there be supplementary headcount in one part of the country to the exclusion of the others? The controversy that trailed that 1962 fraud by Ahmadu Bello and his stooge in Mohammadu Ribadu gave birth to a repeat exercise in 1963. The earlier figures released for the 1963 census was 60.5 millions. But when this was not able to meet the demographic variables it was arbitrarily reduced to 55.6 millions. No scientific or demographic explanation was given as to how that figure was reached. Out of this figure, the North was allotted 29.8 millions and the South 25.8 millions! In 1973, the Military wing of the Uthman Dan Fodio estate organized another census and came up with 79.8 millions. Out of this, the North was given 51.4 million (over 64%) and the South was given 28.4 millions. This figure means that the Northern population in the throes of the heat radiating arid desert increased in 10 years by almost 70% (that is if we accepted the 1963 census in itself), while the South in the comfort of the rain forest, increased by woeful 5% in the same period of time. Since then they have been creating states and local governments in the North to the disadvantage of the South. They have also been using these states to siphon resources to the North to the disadvantages of the people in the South. Ahmadu Bello engineered the 1962 crisis in the West to be able to bring the Western Region to its knees; he and his great grand siblings of Uthman Dan Fodio cooked up lies against Chief Obafemi Awolowo alleging that he tried to overthrow the Federal Government by force. He was sent to prison without any evidence except so called verbal confessions of some disgruntled elements who were later rewarded in kind, The Federal government were NEVER able to show any proof of that allegation in terms of recruits for the exercise or the ammunitions they planned to use. Even, the judge that headed the kangaroo court admitted that his “hands are tied” and had to sentence the innocent man to jail. Given the trajectory of the judiciary, the result of that fraudulent use of that arm of government among others, has led Nigeria to the present precipice. There have been a lot of other incidents that one does not need to go into their details here but which have shown that Nigeria is a conquered territory or if you like the inherited estate of the grandchildren of Uthman Dan Fodio. The fact that they have ruled Nigeria for the most part and have only allowed their stooge in Olusegun Obasanjo a return trip to power on their behalf is the most important proof of this control of Nigeria as their inheritance. The reluctance to allow the present Vice President, Jonathan Goodluck to take over the presidency is just another of the evidences that the taste of the pudding is in the eating. Is it not instructive in the light of the above statement by Ahmadu Bello that it is Andoakaa, a minority from the North that is in “the front and back” of frustrating the “legitimate” assumption of power by a Southerner called Jonathan Goodluck? A “willing tool” just like Ahmadu Bello planned and envisaged? All the efforts that have been put in to deny VP Jonathan the “legitimate” acquisition of power is part of the credo laid down by Ahmadu Bello. It is not by mistake that the motto adopted by the Sokoto State is “BORN TO RULE.” This kind of arrogance was what informed the statement credited to Maitama Sule at an Arewa Forum in Kaduna as he made case for the permanent political rulership of Nigeria by the grandchildren of Uthman Dan Fodio. He spoke in Hausa Language and it was translated as follows: “Everyone has a gift from God. The Northerners are endowed by God with leadership qualities……” It is not by mistake that the last road bordering the sea in Lagos is named Ahmadu Bellow Way. It is not by mistake that Musa Yar’Adua refused to handover VP Jonathan. It is not by mistake that when the Arewa Consultative Forum complained about the ownership of the Commercial Banks in Nigeria in February 2009, then Mallam Falalu Bello, the Managing Director of the Unity Bank came out in March to say the following: “It is indeed in the interest of the South-western
e
rs and South-easterners for some affirmative actions to be taken to redress the situation, else there will be no real peace in this country moving forward.” Then Mallam Lamido Sanusi appeared on the stage in May

through June 2009 to put this in practice under the guise of cleansing the banking sector of corruption. I was wondering where he was in the Shehu Shagari era when the Prince of Wurno, Shehu Malami was asking the Yola Branch Manager of the Union Bank of Nigeria of which he was then the chairman to open the bank vault around 2.00am and reportedly took millions of naira he spent at the birthday party of his friend Bamangar Tukur who was then recently “selected” as the Governor of Gongola State after accumulating astounding wealth as the Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority It is my belief that all those who have been commenting on this Jonathan Goodluck problem and asking for the constitution to be followed are addressing the wrong problem. They seemed not to understand what is going on here. How can anyone expect those who own the estate not to do what they wish and will with their inheritance? The have forgotten what history has taught us and of which example abound. Fredrick Douglas put it clearly in his 1857 speech as follows: “This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical………. Power concedes nothing without a demand…, it never did….and it never will…, ” The Berom people in Jos seemed to have taken this lesson to heart just as the Niger Delta peoples. That is why there have been so many riots in Jos in recent times. A sincere look at the recent Jos Riots by any objective observer and socio-political analyst would show that the root of the problem is the attempt of the so-called “Jasawa” Hausa-Fulani minority settlers trying to politically lord it over the majority owners of the land, the Berom. The great grandchildren of Uthman Dan Fodio have been so confident and arrogant that they have been asking for an Emir of Jos just as they have imposed an Emir on the acquiescent Yoruba people of Ilorin. Unlike the people of Ilorin, the people of Jos are not willing to lie down and just accept such a ridiculous and preposterous affront. The Berom have made up their minds that they would not be slaves in their land. The Beroms have sworn that any attempt by the minority Hausa/Fulani to appropriate political power in Jos and the environs through the use of the Federal might would continue to be resisted by all means. They have followed their promises with concrete actions and the riots that have been occurring in that vicinity are the products of political liberation struggles of the Berom and resistance to the settler Hausa/Fulani political domination. Hopefully, someday the people of Ilorin would wake up and claim their birth rights from the Hausa/Fulani rulership in Ilorin. Without any iota of doubt, it is clear that the understanding of the country called Nigeria by its constituent units is very different. Why some see it as a collective Republic, others perceive it as their conquered territory and or an inherited estate of their great grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. To this end, the way and manner it was being handled is patently different. This is one of the reasons that I am of the view that we need to break this country up. Doing so would mean liberation for the other ethnic groups from the conquest of the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy. It is hoped that the great grandchildren of Uthman Dan Fodio would see the handwriting on the wall and cease their arrogant attitude and allow Nigeria to be re-negotiated or be broken up peacefully. It is in their interest to note that this kind of approach to politics and power in Nigeria would not be sustained. It is in their interest to allow peaceful resolution of the Nigerian question either in restructuring or dissolution. They have to be reminded, if they do not know already, that this is not the early 19thCentury when they operated without let or hindrance. This is not the early part of the 20th Century when they were aided and abetted by the diabolical British colonialists. The fact that they have a Sultanate Army in place would not be able to help them when the chips are down. This is the 21st century. The context is different. The elements are different. The variables are different. The world has changed and is still changing. The Hausa Fulani people can not continue to hold the peoples of Nigeria in political bondage against their will and continue to treat them as vanquished peoples. It is up to the rest of us if we want to remain conquered in Nigeria and continued to be treated as second class citizens or even slaves if it suits the conquerors as such. Just like Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the US once said, “No one can make you a slave without your consent.” It is up to the rest of us, if we want to remain in slavery or not. This is because according to Fredrick Douglas once again: “Find out what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and those will continue until they are resisted with either blows or words, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress…….” It is up to the great grandchildren of Uthman Dan Fodio if they would allow words rather than blows as a means to restructure Nigeria or dismember it. It is up to the rest of us to determine if the limits of their tyranny has been reached. TIME WILL TELL.

The Arewa Consultative Forum

The forum originated from a meeting held on 7 March 2000 in Kaduna at the initiative of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Maccido. The purpose was to establish unity of Northern leaders, working through elected officials to achieve progress in the Arewa area within the democratic framework.In September 2000, former head of state General Yakubu Gowon [/b]agreed to act as chairman of the Board of Patrons of the forum. The forum appointed a retired Inspector General of the Nigerian Police, Alhaji Muhammadu Dikko Yusufu, as chairman. Belying its common image as a champion of the interest of the Moslem Hausa and Fulani,[b] the ACF appointed Sunday Awoniyi, a Christian Yoruba as chairman of the Board of Trustees in 2000, a position he held until his death in November 2007

You must love this guys.

The Arewa People's Congress (APC) is a group in Northern Nigeria established to protect the interests of the Muslim Hausa and Fulani of the area. It has been described as a militant wing of the Arewa Consultative Forum. The group was formally launched on 13 December 1999. It was chaired by a retired army officer, Brigadier General Sagir Muhammed, who had been an operative in the Directorate of Military Intelligence.
Boko haram .

I believe that for the nation to move forward, we must put the past behind us and deal with the current realities on the ground. Umaru Dikko recently decribed the north as the senior partner in the union. We must reject such arrant nonsense and discard the tradition of appeasing the north at all costs.
We must all accept that every ethnic group, irrespective of its size, has an inalienable right to live in dignity and on equal terms with others. Therefore as a first step, let us strive to have a weaker center and grant greater autonomy to states or regions, so that each will develop at its own pace.

Tafawa Balewa who in 1950 said the following as quoted in TIME MAGAZINE of October 10, 1960:
�There is no basis for Nigerian unity.�

This was exactly Gowon's view in 1966 until he was dissuaded from secession. Subsequently he appealed for calm since power was once more in the hands of another northerner. Although Gowon was the head of state, it seemed the real power resided elsewhere. Was OBJ in total control as a military head of state? Again, Sarduana's philosophy at work.

Ahmadu Bello engineered the 1962 crisis in the West to be able to bring the Western Region to its knees

Would FGN have declared a state of emergency in the Western Region without the active support of NCNC?

Sardauna's philosophy has worked with great efficiency. Have the Hausa/Fulanis not always used the Middle-Belters and southerners to achieve their political objectives?
Who advised Gowon not to accept the Aburi accord? What percentage of the Nigerian fighting force against Biafra were Hausa/ Fulani? Who waged the propaganda war for FGN? At that time, the refrain was and even now in some quarters is, that Biafran war was Ojukwu's personal war. It is a paradox that this same Ojukwu was demoted in rank in the Nigerian Army because he had the courage to refuse leading troops to quell the Tivi uprising against oppression.
In recent times, OBJ blamed resource control as the cause of the war. Either the pogrom never happened or it was an "understandable" revenge.

This New Nation called Nigeria, should be an estate of our great grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools, and the South, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future.
Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto in THE PARROT of October 12, 1960

It is up to the rest of us if we want to remain conquered in Nigeria and continued to be treated as second class citizens or even slaves if it suits the conquerors as such. Just like Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the US once said, “No one can make you a slave without your consent.” It is up to the rest of us, if we want to remain in slavery or not.

The variables are different. The world has changed and is still changing. The Hausa Fulani people can not continue to hold the peoples of Nigeria in political bondage against their will and continue to treat them as vanquished peoples.

The Berom people in Jos seemed to have taken this lesson to heart just as the Niger Delta peoples. That is why there have been so many riots in Jos in recent times. A sincere look at the recent Jos Riots by any objective observer and socio-political analyst would show that the root of the problem is the attempt of the so-called “Jasawa” Hausa-Fulani minority settlers trying to politically lord it over the majority owners of the land, the Berom.

One of the greatest maladies of ignorance is to be ignorant of one’s own ignorance. I am not aware whether the Nigeria’s Vice President is aware of the context in which he is operating or not. If he is not aware, it would mean that he is inflicted with this malady of ignorance. If he is, then it means he is playing the game the best way he thinks it ought to be done.

Either way, he would not be able to change the fact that he remains a VP in an estate of the grandfather of the late Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello who was also a former Premier of the Northern Region. When Sir Ahmadu Belllo made the above statement in 1960, he knew what he was talking about. With the connivance of the diabolical British colonialists, he was able to put machineries in place to achieve his objective of turning Nigeria to the “estate” of his grandfather.

In 1957, Ahmadu Bello undermined and stood very virulently against the independence of Nigeria. He did not think that his Fulani people would be able to control the destiny of Nigeria the way and manner they deem fit. As a result of this the Western Region and the Eastern Region were granted self governing status. But the plan to hand Nigeria to Uthman Dan Fodio’s grandchildren commenced immediately after that.

It would be recalled that as a result of the elections of 1954, there were 162 seats in the Nigerian National Assembly. Out of this, the South has 83 seats and the North has 79 seats since this was based on population. But because Ahmadu Bello was afraid that his kinsmen would not be able to effectively compete with the rest of the country and dominate it the way he envisaged, he refused to allow Nigeria to have independence. After the West and the East received self governance, the British overlords, in order to assuage his fears and put Nigeria in his control, created in 1959, 312 seats for the Nigerian National Assembly without any election or new Census. Out of this 312, the North was allocated 174 in the anticipation of the Parliamentary Political System being put in place for Nigeria’s independence. This effectively put political control of Nigeria in the hands of Ahmadu Bello and his stooge, Tafawa Balewa who in 1950 said the following as quoted in TIME MAGAZINE of October 10, 1960:

The conquest to the sea is now in sight. When our god-sent Ahmadu Bello said some years ago that our conquest will reach the sea shores of Nigeria, some idiots in the South were doubting its possibilities. Today have we not reached the sea? Lagos is reached. It remains Port-Harcourt. It must be conquered and taken.” --- Mallam Bala Garuba in WEST AFRICAN PILOT, December 30, 1964.

The Hausa-Fulani has no ideals, no ambitions save such as sensual in character. He is a fatalist, spendthrift and a gambler. He is gravely immoral and is seriously diseased that he is a menace to any community to which he seeks to attach himself".

- Lord Lugard in a Letter to his colleague, Walter H. Lang on September 25, 1918.

“Under the circumstances of what has been happening in Plateau State, some people just have to die……Any society that refuses to be just and fair shall become a jungle where only jungle justice shall operate……… Indeed, majority of our killings were carried out in areas where there was strong government presence.”

Mallam Sale Bayero, Fulani leader and secretary Sultan’s Farmer/Cattle Rearers Conflict Committee boasting as he justified the massacre of the Birom people while protesting the arrest of the Fulani murderers in Plateau State of Nigeria, quoted in THE SUN NEWS of Friday, March 12, 2010



Dan Fodio
Some time towards the middle of the second decade of the 1800s (1815 AD or thereabout), Uthman Dan Fodio was reported to have had a scary dream about his Sultanate empire that he had just built. This dream was said to have saddened him that the empire he had spilled so much blood to build would only lasted 200 years. As a courageous warrior that he was, Dan Fodio was reported to have summoned the will to interpret the dream make this prediction abouthe future of his Empire.

According to informed sources as reported by Adewale Adeoye in The Nation of March 14, 2010, this fear of the realization of Dan Fodio’s dream was what informed the hurried movement of the Capital of Nigeria from Lagos to Abuja. The report said inter alia:

“The source hinted that in the 1970s, Northern leaders of Fulani extraction had met and resolved that the capital of Nigeria be moved from Lagos to Abuja, in anticipation of the prophecy of late Uthman Dan Fodio. He said the meeting was

propelled by the dream the then Sultan of Sokoto had that he saw his offsprings, in years to come, being requested to obtain visa permits before entering the Southern part of the country….”

There are a number of deductions that could be made from the above:

a) That the entire Nigeria was and is still regarded as part of the Sultanate Empire of Uthman Dan Fodio.

b) That this is why the Fulani have been exuding this arrogant attitude permeated with the “BORN TO RULE” mentality.

c) That this is why they have always ruled Nigeria as if we are in the middle ages and consider the wealth of Nigeria as theirs to dispense as they see fit.

d) That the recent liberation struggles in Birom, Niger Delta, and the rest of the South, west or east is being seen as the beginning of the end of the Sultanate Empire by the Fulani people

e) That the Fulani people have been scheming and preparing to get ready for when they would leave or be chased out of Nigeria.

It is this writer’s view that there is nothing wrong if the Fulani have to pull out of Nigeria to sustain and maintain the remnant of their Sultanate Empire. It would definitely serve all concerned very well. But this writer is not convinced that the Fulani would let go very easily, regardless of their palpitation about the dreams of Uthman Dan Fodio. They are going to fight hard. Anyone familiar with their trickery and how they subdued all the fledgling Hausa States one after the other, using Hausa masses against their kings would agree with this writer.

To this extent, I disagree with Lord Lugard that the Fulani (let us leave the Hausa ethnic nationality out for now), “has no ambition.” The Fulani has ambitions and great ones at that. The Fulani ambition is to always rule others whether they (Fulani) have the capacity to do so or not. The Fulani liked and still likes his empires, at least that of Uthman Dan Fodio has been in place before Lord Lugard ever was born.

It is this inherent ambition that forced the Fulani to develop the methodology to use religion to mobilize the Hausa critical mass against their own Hausa rulers and replaced them with blue-blooded turban-carrying Fulani rulers as Emirs across what used to be Hausa kingdoms. As time goes on, the Fulani sought ways to modernize its means of extending the frontiers of the Sultanate and refined its tool that was used against the Hausa Kingdoms in preparation for the conquest of the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.

What the Fulani came up with was a different brand of what they did to the Hausa kings and empires. The Fulani concluded that because of cultural and religious factors, it would not be easy to use the critical mass of other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria to be able to supplant the leaders of these ethnic nationalities. So, the Fulani to sustain its ambition to rule and dominate, cultivated corrupt satellites in every ethnic nationality in Nigeria while politically annihilating the true leaders of other ethnic nationalities.



In 1957, during the heated battles for self government and independence, Sir Ahmadu Bello referred to Nigeria as “The mistake of 1914.” To correct this “mistake” a meticulous plan to dominate the future Nigerian Armed Forces was surreptitiously embarked upon while the British was helping out on the political front manufacturing Parliamentary seats for the North against the South of Nigeria. Thus, barely six months after independence, Sir Ahmadu Bello was able to say with confidence in the Daily Times of May 3, 1961, the following:

“I’m set and fully armed, to conquer the Action Group, AG, in the same ruthless manner as my grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in Sokoto province, during the last century.”

The writer would like readers to pay due attention to the words used by Sir. Bello, in this quote. He used the word “conquer” not "negotiate." Ahmadu Bello executed this desired conquest of the West as he had planned. Though, it backfired temporarily as it consumed him a number of years later, but the Fulani sentries in the Caliphate Armed Forces euphemized as the Nigerian Armed Forces along with its surviving civilian wing have adopted Sir. Ahmadu Bello’s method of propping up political, economic and religious satellites in all ethnic nationalities in Nigeria to be able to maintain control from Abuja, Sokoto and or Gobir, the birthplace of Uthman Dan Fodio.

It would be alright, if the Fulani could live with others as others are willing and prepared to live with them in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa, at least. In Nigeria, there has been more than 100years of evidence that various ethnic Nationalities have accommodated, loved respected and cared for the Fulani in their midst. There are abundant evidence that the Fulani have been treated as fellow human beings and accorded the same rights that the host have always enjoyed.

But it is very unfortunate that the Fulani has not had the same “live and let live” approach to other ethnic Nationalities in Nigeria. The Fulani concept of living is that others have to die, so that the Fulani may live. As far as the Fulani are concerned, other peoples of other ethnic nationalities are second rate slaves to be used, dumped, maimed, raped or killed for the good of the Fulani man. The Fulani see Nigeria as his great grandfather’s inheritance to be toyed with as he wishes and as he wants. This attitude of Fulani makes him believe that he has to rule wherever he is, regardless of his comparative intelligence and capability to that of his host among other reasons.

Presenting a paper reviewing Paul M. Lewis’ book Ethnologue: Languages of the World, (16th Edition), to a study group in Philadelphia recently, Professor Wola Awoyale, a linguist at the University of Pennsylvania noted that the Fulani are recent immigrants in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Benin Republic, Guinea, Senegal, Niger, Mali and Sudan. The Fulani symbol is turban, flag, alukimba, mosque and book. The Fulani are “a very creative” people who are often very “tight-lipped, silent and secretive” in their approach. They are very “mistrusting, calculating and patient.”

The Fulani are described as “cold blooded and ideological.” They are “ascetic, reclusive and tough-minded.” The Fulani places premium on the role of the mosque in its culture and this is why in all of Nigeria, a Fulani would not be a part of Jamaa (the congregation) where another man of different ethnic stock is leading muslims in prayers.

The Fulani language Fulfude with its variations in Fulah, Pulaar and or Pular are very highly priced. It is their weapon to discuss in secrecy and manipulate and carry out their machinations. The Fulani will freely learn the languages of others as a means of infiltrating them for economic, political and religious advantages while rarely speaking Fulfulde in the presence of others.



In the same March14,2010 edition of The Nation, Baba Oluwide, a former economic consultant to the United Nations (UN) was interviewed. Part of the interview read inter alia:

“To him,(Baba Oluwide) the frequent clashes 'reflects a reawakening of consciousness among nationalities which territories were forcefully taken by the Fulani' adding that it also 'signifies the collapse of the Fulani Empire.' He said the 'main cause of the downfall of the Fulani Empire' was the defect inherent in their political and social perspectives which he says celebrates lack of tolerance for diverse culture and a resentment of pluralism of ideas.”

This writer, in disagreement with the interviewee, would not be so swift to sing the dirge of the Sokoto Caliphate or the Sultanate. While one may agree that there is “a reawakening of consciousness among nationalities which territories were forcefully taken by Fulani,” there is still the need for the ethnic Nationalities in Nigeria to remain vigilant. It is one’s view that the battle to overthrow the yoke of the Fulani political imperialism/neo-colonialism, economic exploitation and religious extremism is just about to begin.

While it may be true that the Fulani is being haunted by the dream of Uthman Dan Fodio and are making preparations for the D-Day when they would leave Nigeria or chased out, it would amount to political suicide for the oppressed and enslaved ethnic nationalities in Nigeria to go to sleep, waiting for the time when the Fulani would voluntarily leave Nigeria. There may be eventual negotiations, but this writer doubts it giving the characteristics of a Fulani man.

It is one’s view that freedom is not cheap and neither is it free. There is always a price to pay for one’s freedom. The Fulani is willing to loot, maim, and kill to hold on to its empire. This suggests that to take it from them, all the ethnic nationalities have to be prepared for every eventuality just in case words and negotiations would not solve the problem.

It would be recalled that the Fulani embarked on ethnic cleansing of the Jukun ethnic nationality in Taraba State in the 1990s. The Fulani are vociferously claiming the ownership of Idi-Araba and yelled “barao, barao, barao” meaning “thief, thief, thief” on the then Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu in his own State. The Fulani started war on traditionalists in Shagamu in Ogun State over the celebration of Oro Festival. The Fulani have tried to reduce the Tiv’s population by extermination during the First Republic. The Fulani have tried to emasculate the Katafs in Kaduna before. The Fulani tried to cleanse Zakibiam of non-Fulani blood. The Fulani have been killing owners of the land in Iseyin and Shaki in Oyo State. Media reports noted that scores of owners of the lands in Oyo were left “dead, maimed or raped.” The Fulani are determined to wipe out the Birom people of Plateau from their ancestral lands. The Fulani has just recently killed a policeman in Ekiti State after wounding the owners of the land. The Fulani has an Emir of Ilorin, a Yoruba town. The Fulani is determined to have an Emir of Jos and possibly Enugu too, very soon

The Nation, in its report of March 14,2010 also noted the following:

“In many West African countries, clashes between nomadic Fulani and indigenous communities are well known underlining the fact that the challenge is a sub-regional phenomenon. In Cameroon, Ghana, Mali, Togo and Niger, frequent clashes between nomadic Fulani and land owners constitute a major security problem for national and regional governments. In the Chad basin, clashes between Fulani and Shua Arabs have led to thousands of deaths, reliable sources claim. Many of the clashes were between indigenous communities and Fulani herdsmen accused of trespassing on native lands and in many cases, attempting to take over the lands by force of arms.”

This shows that the Fulani has a character that is antithetical to the hopes and yearnings of other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and around West African sub-continent. They are used to taking things that do not belong to them by force. Exploiting the oil of the Niger Delta in the way and manner it had been for this long is not out of character for the Fulani. Spending the national resources to which they contribute next to nothing like a drunken “gambler” is part of the Fulani nature. The Fulani has no capacity to be compassionate where his interests are at stake. Thus the murdering of a Ken Saro Wiwa here and a Dele Giwa there, or another Akaluka here and Oluwatosin there means nothing to the Fulani. Murdering in coldblooded massacre, several Junkun woemen and children has no meaning to the Fulani. Wiping out the entire villages of the Birom people does not mean anything to the Fulani. Looting, raping, maiming and murdering innocent and generous Yoruba hosts has no meaning in the consciousness of the Fulani. It is just a way of life.

The essence of bringing this to the attention of the world, especially the ethnic nationalities in the bondage called Nigeria is to let them know what they are engaged with in the struggles to be free and have self determination. The Fulani is not prepared to negotiate if he is going to lose out. The Fulani will fight. And he will be ruthless and cold-blooded in the fight.

The only language the Fulani understands is war and conquest. All you need to do is just listen to Mallam Sale Bayero in the quote above. Listen to the post-humous voice of Ahmadu Bello echoing from the grave as he uses the words “ruthless” and “conquer” in speaking about his supposed fellow countrymen. Listen to Mallam Bala Garuba in the West African Pilot newpaper speaking of “conquest” of his supposed countrymen. Listen to Mallam Falalu Bello (MD, Unity Bank of Nigeria) threatening “there will be no real peace in this country moving forward,” because he feels the Fulani has no control over the resources and means of others. Listen to Balarabe Musa making a case for permanent rulership of Nigeria by the Fulani. Listen to the Bala Usman of this world as to why no one of other ethnic nationality should be allowed to rule Nigeria. Listen to the silent yells of Maitama Sule making the same case. Yes, the nightmare of Dan Fodio’s dream may hang like a noose around the Fulani’s neck, but the Fulani would never give up without a fight.

The Hausa people are still wondering how they have become so slavish to the Fulani. They are still wondering how their very valuable heritage has been polluted and dumped for that of the Fulani settlers. The Hausa are still wondering how the great histories of their forefathers have been supplanted by that of the Fulani to whom they have shown great love and hospitality.

Every ethnic Nationality in Nigeria needs to be aware that the Hausa people are very confused right now. Some of their elites have been incorporated by the scheming and secretive Fulani. The Fulani are very few in numbers and they have brainwashed the Hausa people to believe that their (Hausa) destinies are tied together with that of the Fulani because of Islam. The Fulani use the Hausa numbers as a buffer to perpetrate Fulani evils in Hausa name. What they have done to Hausa people is to make them believe in the Fulani as the path finders for them (Hausa).

Now, it is the Hausa who is used to fight the Fulani fights and battles. This is what Sir. Ahmadu Bello, taking a page off the book of his Fulani great grand father, Uthman Dan Fodio, has also done with other minority groups in the North of Nigeria, using them as tools for the Fulani conquest of Nigeria. As pointed out above, this trick has been extended to all ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and as such one could find among them corrupt leaders who hold allegiance to the Sultanate rather than their peoples.

This writer has his doubts if the Hausa people would ever wake up. Even, if and when they wake up, the benefits of greed and the unabated appropriation of resources for which they have never labored out of the Niger Delta and other parts of Nigeria would still guarantee the Hausa - Fulani cooperation.

The minority ethnic nationalities in the North are waking up. They are realizing that they are slaves in their own lands. They are just realizing that they have been fighting the battles of Fulani to their own and their peoples’ detriment. They have just realized that cows are much more treasured by the Fulani than the Birom mothers, Tiv wives, Jukun sisters, Igala children, Nupe brothers and Kataf fathers.

The Fulani is a fiercely ambitious man, contrary to what Lord Lugard is trying to make us believe. The Fulani would plunder, loot, rape, maim and kill in pursuit of this ambition. The Fulani would take advantage of the weaknesses of his host and supplant him and appropriate his wealth and means. The Fulani for the last 200 hundred years has been at loggerhead with every known hospitable host of his, not just in Nigeria but in West African sub region. The Fulani ambitions are intolerant of the existence and well being of others. This is where one could agree with Lord Lugard – that the Fulani is “seriously diseased” and “a menace to any community to which he seeks to attach himself.”

The ethnic nationalities in all of Nigeria still stand a good chance to be free. That chance would fizzle and dissipate without standing firm, strong and willing to make the necessary sacrifice that would be required. It is time to repel the Fulani imperialism and or neo-colonialism. It is time to reclaim our freedom and rights. It is time to seek any means necessary to be free from the bondage called Nigeria. Cows could not, should not, would not and must not be more important than our daughters and sons, brothers and sisters as well as our mothers and fathers.
