Politics › We Are Not Killers - Fulani Herdsmen by debolayinka(op): 10:58pm On Jan 22, 2018

Herdsmen of Fulani extraction have been accused of killing hundreds of Nigerians in recent times.
From Benue to Nasarawa, from Plateau to Kaduna, from Taraba to Adamawa, the herdsman has become the poster child for the murders that have gripped the landand destruction of entire farmlands.
When Pulse paid a visit to Bauchi, Jos and Jigawa recently, we took the time to visit the natural pastures around Darazo LGA, Soro Ganjuwa, Azare and Kafin Madaki to speak to herdsmen grazing in the wild about their damaged reputation.

Herdsmen are not killers

“We are not killers. It is unfair to paint us as killers”, Adamu said as he stood beside his herd of cattle in the scorching harmattan sun.“My father passed on this trade to me and I’ll pass on the business to my children. We rear cattle and sell them.
We don’t kill people”.
Ibn Musa said it isn’t true that herdsmen are destroying farmlands for fun. He also considers the whole crises political.
“We used to exist peacefully with these same farmers. After harvest, the farmers will invite us to bring our goats and cattle to clear the land of weed. The dung from our cattle serves as manure for their crops. Why is it that all of a sudden, the politicians have made these farmers to regard us as enemies?”Musa inquired incredulously.

Politics

Yakubu, another herdsman of Fulani extraction, also pointed to the damaged symbiotic relationship between pastoralists and farmers as the handiwork of the political class.

“As you can see, elections are coming. These politicians are arming young men to score cheap political points. And when these young men successfully kill people, Fulani herdsmen take the blame”,Yakubu said.
WhenPulse pointed these herdsmen to media reports that the Miyetti Allah—an umbrella body of the herders—has accepted responsibility for the killings; while stating that the murders were acts of self-defense, they first bristled before denouncing leaders of the Miyetti Allah.

“They don’t speak for us”, Ibrahim said of the leaders of the Miyetti Allah.“They speak for themselves and their stomachs”.
One herdsman who wouldn't want to leave his name, told Pulse that politicians in some of the affected States have been arming youths to kill innocent people so they can use the killings as a campaign message ahead of the 2019 elections. Pulse couldn't immediately verify this claim.
As we journeyed through the undulating topography of Bauchi, Plateau and Jigawa, we saw herdsmen leading their cattle to graze peacefully on farmlands spread as far as the eyes could see. Farmers were irrigating some portions of the land as well, side by side.

“These people committing these killings are not herdsmen. We are peaceful people. Write that in your story”,Mohammed instructed sternly.

Never even heard of their Governor.

They in that part of this shithole of a country must be happy folks. I wish to visit there someday to see for myself.

Bros, I dey Kebbi now. It's just a silent state in Nigeria. Concerning, the condition of the state, baba, everywhere in Naija is the same. We self dey feel the sufferings ooooo, but the people are peaceful, and you know bad news sell faster than good news. You don't come into the news if you don't have a problem to complain about or a victory to celebrate, both of which they don't have.

The only good news they have here is peace.

Oga, it's not like I'm forming ITK like you think, and that is why I didn't say anything about the issue. But you know that some discussions only cause strive. If you read through people's comments, you'll discover that this thread has achieved nothing but unnecessary arguments. Irrespective of whichever side is right, many minds are still stuck to their beliefs about marital restitution, so what fruit if I may ask, has it borne?

Please, I want to know because it is practised in many Pentecostal churches. If you marry two or more wives before you got born again, you have to leave one and live with just one. this act of forsaking is known as restitution. I really want to know if this is scriptural.

I am 100% sure you didn't post this to seek knowledge, but to argue scriptures and gain attention.

Good for you bro, spoken like a "true Christian" while a true Muslim would say the same about his God, ditto for Hindu, Vikings etc; hell, even a Jew would use the exact word to refer to the same god

if you don't see the problem in that......

Just ask God to reveal Himself to you if He truly exists.
Can you do that?

Nobody has EVER searched for your god from neutral standpoint without first having the idea sold to him by fellow humans, your god is manmade as it relies on his creation to tell another creation despite the fact that you claim he's everywhere, knows everything, can do anything and loves us; a god like that shouldn't rely on indoctrination if it exists

You're partially right. Partially right in the sense that some people rely on what others tell them about God and His Omnipotence. But I tell you that every genuine christian has exceeded that stage and has arrived the point of self-discovery.

I know God, I have touched and experienced Him.
