I have taken my time to read comments here.. the Christians are castigating the Muslims for saying the injunction in the Qur'an as regards inter religious marriage. throwing insults that Islam is an intolerant religion for not allowing a Muslim girl marry a Christian man, but they also forgot that they also preach against a christain girl or man marrying from other religion with the bible verse that says "never be equally yoked with the unbelievers" .. or what does that verse mean? someone pls explain..

Why is it OK for a Muslim man to marry a Christian woman and not vice versa?

Tamass:
Stop hate towards each other..shum tribal sentiments and racism..we are all human beings and i can assure you that is one of our major setbacks

So telling the government to take decisive action is hate?

I weak for una oooo

Sigh

I am going to just make my observations on this Fulani herdsmen crisis, and then I will keep quiet.

First, the reason why we have all these issues is that Nigerians don’t believe in our Police. If a Fulani herdsman is attacked, he does not report to the Police. He goes to his comrades, who then launch a revenge attack. Likewise , if a farmer gets attacked, he does not go to the police, it is to his fellows, who then launch a reporisal attack, and then we keep on having attack after attack.

Second, I am sorry, but I don’t believe that the farmers are inncoent in this matter. It does not mean that I agree that the Fulanis are justifed in taking the law into their hands (see my above point), but I believe strongly that the farmers are attacking Fulanis and molesting their cows too. And the reason why we don’t hear about this in the media is because the media , like many of my fellow southerners and Christians is interested in an agenda...that thuggish muslims are attacking innocent Christians. Well...when the same innocent christians join the thug muslims in dancing to the same violence is the answer tune, the same media keeps quiet, while people sit down and justify such attacks with terms as ‘the Fulanis have it coming to them’

Indeed, there are people, including HURIWA with this their call for the govt to crush the Fulani. What exactly do they mean? DO they want the Army to start moving into Fulani settlements to kill and destroy, as if we are back in Kenya in the 1950’s when the British did the same to hundreds of innocent Kenyans? Don’t they get it that would only make a bad situation worse. IN 1999, the Army crushed Odi., ten years later there were millitant groups up and down. And in 2009, hundereds of inncoent North Easterners were killed by the Army in the name of Boko Haram, and that made things worse...until corrections were made in strategy by the last govt, and this one. And now, it seems that the same people who rightly condemm the army for forcing innocent Igbos into the muddy river to swim, are now backing measures that at best would lead to anarchy beyond what can be controlled.

Finally, what angers me is that people are not calling on their local govt chairman, their governors, their tribal leaders, etc to sit down and discuss solutions. I mean, once upon a time , Fulanis and farmers did not fight like this. What is provoking the fighting is increase in populaiton. IN 1963, we were less than 60million, now we are 160million. And a large chunk of that populaiton lives in the rural area...and Nigeria has not icnreased in land mass since 1963...and we even lost Bakassi in 2006. I would have expected government and the herdsmen and farmers to develop solutions that would help salvage the situation, and let everyone leave in peace. But , no Nigerians….are interested in playing Tutsis and Hutus. Well, last time that happened 800000 people died. Deaths that were conpletely unecessary….but are happening because Nigerians are not interested in solutins...they want to behave like their acnestors did back in the 17th century. Well...that kind of behaviour is why we got colonised in the first place, and we would have still been a colony if we did not put aside our differences, even for a brief moment to fight for independence.

SO, what am I saying. I just want Nigerians to stop this tale of innocent farmers and brutal thug cattle rearers. Because such talk is going to blow us to another Somalia. Instead...let us start thinking about serious solutions. And no...we don’t need to waste money we don’t have on another confrence. We need to think, and to think and to act with some wisdom.

IN short...we need to get matured.

(Anyone who insults me would be reported to the mods. If you are still sore over the last election, so am I. I am angry that we did not get a new direction for we coutntry., And anyone calling me a Muslim should know that I am a Christian, and I have seen violence , the worst as far back as the 80’s. But I also know that doing the same thing over and over again does not work. We need solutions now)

And all those commenter saying let us finish the Fulani....i say to them...Go ahead....jsut don't come back after fighting another chronic 20 year tribal war that you caused.Same goes for any Fulani justifying attacks on farmers.

If it doesn't happen it won't be reported

Is BBC Hausa dominated by Christians?

Is the NTA dominated by Christians?

The NBC that ordered a radio station in Lagos to discontinue a program about the Asaba massacre, is it dominated by Christians?

Stop stating biased personal opinions as fact.

All your talk about solutions without bringing one forward.

You call yourself a Christian. Do you really think it is coincidence that most (if not all) of the communities attacked are predominantly Christian?

Tamass:

Yeah i get your point bit i dont think you got mine ...point i was making was for us to get rid of our preset mentality of harboring hate towards each other and been more open minded..the truth is most people don't really care to hear the other part of the story before they tag them evil...i dont in any way condone evil but at the same time i detest injustice irrespective of the parties involved.
And yeah racism ..look up the meaning in the dictionary..most people attached a different meaning to that word..no pun intended

Everybody in Nigeria belongs to one race.

So?

Tamass:

It amazes me how people just wake up,take their phone,switch on the moblie data and log on nairaland only to come and spew trash...you made no sense at all in your statements and they are very biased...nigeria will not move forward till we cease racism and become open minded

If you don't speak against it you condone it

Silence is consent

Racism? What are you saying?

NafeesaAA:
There are always two side to every story, while we all are sharing pictures of victims of Killer Herdsmen in Miango Bassa LGA, the Fulani Community are also sharing their own victims which was the trigger that led to this senseless killing in the first place.

Note, am not condoling any killing, but as a Fulani girl, our story shouldn't be swept under the carpet.

Don't come here and say you don't condone the killings. Deep down you are happy with the fact that they retaliated.

You condone the possession of AK47 Rifles by mere herdsmen

You condone the destruction of the crops of defenceless farmers

You chuckle with glee because you know that no matter what they do they'd be protected by the government.

Keep lying

We've stopped believing.

Buhari!, did you actually vied all this years for the presidency, to fail like this? No give excuse say you no know say na like this it go be.....lol

His goal in life was to become president, he succeeded.

After that it's from one failure to another

He had plans to win but no plan to lead. At least none in the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians

He's just hitting milestones of failure.

Funny how a father who didn't raise you gets to exert his fatherhood and decide for you when its time for to marry.

I won't be surprised if he goes to babalawo to make good his threat

"the heart of man is desperately wicked"

It's far worse up north you might as well be committing suicide if you marry a Christian as a Muslim lady

So much for religion of peace.
