Soon All North Central will be part of Sokoto Caliphate....

Warship:
That is why the Borno Kanem Empire resisted the Fulani people.

It is all about power land and wealth.

eodavids:
With the statement credited to the educated man of Danfodiyo University Sokoto, that Benue belongs to the fulanis; hasn't he undone the British creation of Nigeria and have, through his statement, rejected the modern Nigeria that gave him what he enjoys?

This man, if what he says is anything to go by, have made a weighty statement and should be heard further, so he may elaborate on what he mean.

Meanwhile, he is doing far greater damage to the Nigerian fabric than Ipob did.

Let's here the view of noble Nairalanders like:

Has "Prof. Labdo" spoken the mind position of Fulani's or is he on his own?

Prof. Umar Labdo Muhammad of the Faculty of Humanities, Northwest University, Kano claims that Benue State belongs to the Fulani by right of conquest. Read below:

This should be interesting... I can't think of anything from my state, Anambra. But before I'm being called a wailer or something, I admit there might be a possibility that the projects are so huge, I can't see it. Thanks

OoshaRe:
Agreed, In a 'sane democracy' The governor should wield absolute power in a state but this is Nigeria where the FG can rubbish any governor. You get my drift?

Samleen:
Here is a solution.
We must be smart this time around.

To every presidential aspirant, here is our requirement checklist if you actually want us to cast our votes for you in the coming 2019 election.

We don't care about what political party you belong to anymore -whether old party or new party, popular or unpopular; we don't care about what religion anymore; we don't care about what tribe or region anymore but
You

1. Must attend not less than 3 presidential debates: how do we know you're mentally stable and not a slowpoke if you cannot give reasonable responses to simple debate questioning?

2. Must undergo medical qualification tests: both the psychiatricals and others. The result must be verified by a notable medical panel and must be made availale to the general public.
People do medical tests even for secondary school admission, so why not for presidency aspiration.

3. Must have of governing plan (just like a business plan or a master plan) and make it available to the general public through the all the social media channels.
Bank cannot commit their cash to people without a good business plan with clearly written goals and objectives, figures, strategies and a guarantor, so how much more should we commit the life, future and properties of more than 150millions Nigerians to you without a plan.
In the plan must also be indicated your personer track records of successes.

4. Must have more than secondary school education. (There's nothing new about this)

5. Must have at least one of your children educated in a public university in Nigeria (not private): by this we will surely know that you believe in the future of Nigeria and that you will work towards her betterment.
This is a price not too much to pay if you realy love us.
We are tired of insensitivity of government towards the development of standards of educational setup in Nigeria, the strikes and industrial actions.

6. Must be a patronage of Nigerian made products and services and you must believe in capacity building of Nigerian indigenous businesses to provide exportable products and services to neighbouring countries, Africa and the world at large.

7. Must be wide reader and self development enthusiast: If you don't constantly feed your mind with transformative, educative and informative ideas through books, you don't have a business doing with presidency in Nigeria.
We are tired of archaic approaches to human governing. We need mordern, liberated and future oriented leaders to lead us in Nigeria, not power mongers, who just want to be in government for power, fame and monetary gain.

8. Must be within the working age range (younger than 60 years): "what's good for the goose is good for the gander".
Towards old age, people become less and less physically, socially, mentally and psychologically fit to cope with occupational demands, not to talk of rulling a nation of more than150million citizens, so retirement is compulsory.
The retirement age in Nigeria civil service guided by decree No. 102 of 1979 that dealt with pension and gratuity pegged the statutory age of retirement for public officers at 60 years, while it is 65 years for judiciary officers and 70 for academic staff of universities. However with reform of civil service decree No. 43 of 1988, retirement age has been put at 60 years or 35 years in service.

9. Must have no public record of hate speech, tribalism, nepotism, crime against humanity, pending corruption charges or history, and or affiliation with any millitant group or religion fundamentalist group or terrorist group :
We will never ever think again that people will change. Ascenssion to power only gives people the chance to express their true self.

10. Must have done something contributary to the development of your immediate environment: this is simple, is'nt it?

11. Must be well educated about the constitution of Nigeria. We are tired of reminding the government what to do and what's not to do. We are tired of reminding the government about what's in the costitution they swear to uphold. This is 21st century.
The INEC in collaoration with the National Assembly and the Judiciary Counsel of Nigeria should create an online platform where common citizen can get proper education about the Nigerian constitution. They should maku use of shot animated videos and other training material. Certificates should also be awarded.

Sagay has spoken well but what if there are higher powers behind these frequent attacks??

The governor is literally powerless against the powers that be.

erunz:
Permit me to remind you that, early in 2016, an even more hideous massacre was perpetrated by this same Murder Incorporated – that is, a numerical climax to what had been a series across a number of Middle Belt and neighbouring states, with Benue taking the brunt of the butchery. A peace meeting was called, attended by the state government and security agencies of the nation, including the Inspector General of Police. This group attended – according to reports - with AK47s and other weapons of mass intimidation visible under their garments. They were neither disarmed nor turned back.

They freely admitted the killings but justified them by claims that they had lost their cattle to the host community

This question is now current, and justified: just when is terror? I am not aware that IPOB came anywhere close to this homicidal propensity and will to dominance before it was declared a terrorist organization. The international community rightly refused to go along with such an absurdity. For the avoidance of doubt, let me state right here, and yet again, that IPOB leadership is its own worst enemy. It repels public empathy, indeed, I suspect that it deliberately cultivates an obnoxious image, especially among its internet mouthers who make rational discourse impossible. However, as we pointed out at the time, the conduct of that movement, even at its most extreme, could by no means be reckoned as terrorism. By contrast, how do we categorize Myeti? How do we assess a mental state that cannot distinguish between a stolen cow – which is always recoverable – and human life, which is not.

no comment.

The crises within Fulani and Tiv started long ago

Fulani's are nomadic in nature while Tivs are farmers

So there will always be crises
''The Tiv and Fulani should never fight. At least not go to war. They are blood cousins. According to Tiv chronicles, the Tiv, (a Proto-Bantu ethnic group) came in contact with the Fulani around the 16th or 17th century as they migrated into Nigeria. The Tiv established farms and kept their own cattle (Muturu) that were restricted around the Tiv homes. The Fulani on the other hand were nomadic herdsmen. They had a symbiotic relationship, as the Tiv produced food for the Fulanis while the Fulani served as standing army to defend the Tiv against invading tribes. Over time they intermarries and considered themselves inseperable.'

Tiv and Fulani parted ways over the Tiv complaints that the larger populated Fulani were marrying all Tiv daughters, leaving the Tiv with fewer daughters to propagate their own identity and group. They agreed to part as friends and cousins. The Tiv called the Fulani Upul, and the Fulani called the Tiv “Munchi” the nickname they gave the Tiv after an incident involving a Fulani household. The Fulani men had gone south with their cattle during the dry season to pasture. After several months they returned home to find the women they had left behind under Tiv supervision pregnant. When the Fulani met his Tiv cousins they admitted that they indeed were responsible. ’Munchi’ they admitted. Since that time, the nickname Munchi has been the favourite joking nickname that the Fulani gave to the Tiv. In agreeing to part as friends, the Tiv and Fulani elders made a treaty to live in peace as cousins. This treaty has been observed on both sides with great care. It is encoded in Tiv and Fulani social rituals.......

The crisis started on 23rd June, 2001. Mr Iortim Umande, an unarmed Tiv farmer found Fulani cattle eating up his crops. When he tried to drive the cattle out of his farm, the Fulani took out his sword and killed him.''

Congrats to her but,

...going by her reputation, VP in the student union etc, then you know for sure she's probably not there by merit. She's there for the image, planted there by political influences. There are a host of shoe makers and cobblers with little exposure and more talent but they won't be presented with this opportunity.

igbodefender:
I await their reactions to this matter. By the way, Femi Adeshina was on AIT this morning, and he had one or two things to say on this issue, but people still await the reactions of Benue elders on this issue, since the theatre of operations is their state.

igbodefender:
Leaders are beginning to come out over this issue, though nor in the areas where we would have expected to see them. Lalasticlala or another mod posted a story about someone starting a personal boycott of beef and calling on others to join in.

The Federal Government needs to financially empower the herdsmen to buy lands for commercial ranches of their own. As it is their business is being politicized by all these.

These people should be given loans so they can own their own lands, export corned beef all over Africa, etc.

igbodefender:
The only sustainable answer to all this violence is commercial cattle ranching. The earlier the Federal Government provides funds for the herdsmen to buy land from willing sellers for irrigated commercial ranches the better.

Benue will never allow open grazing like it used to be before. Ekiti State with that warrior Fayose has already protected itself with a strong law. President B u h a r I himself is a rancher. That is the only sustainable way out.

Governor Ortom of Benue has already come out on television to say that no amount of pressure will make Benue State go against their law against open grazing.
