westernized: God bless u for fz.Initially, there were scriptural references to back up his claims which got a lot of people thinking and searching the scriptures to see reason(even bible scholars)....He has obviously derailed coz he subsequently resorted to verbal attacks and abuse to make known his position. With the size of d church, and people sowing seeds from all over d world, it will be a difficult process to decipher who gives wat, save for d purpose of accountability. God help us!!!
He had no point to prove in the first place, reason he is getting frustrated now and so had to resort to using foul words to pass his pointless message, his reign will soon be over, na today?
Em5: Former Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe says his wife, Grace, cries daily over the harassment she receives, especially over her bogus doctorate degree.
NAN reports that it is the first time the former Zimbabwe leader would speak on the emotional torment of his wife, three months after he was forced to step down by the military.
Mugabe reportedly made the disclosure at a meeting with Moussa Faki Mahamat, African Union chairperson, during a courtesy call he made to the Mugabes at their Blue Roof Harare mansion.
The former leader also told Mahamat that he doesn’t feel safe and that his pension has not been paid by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
“They told you I was safe, but how can I be in this environment?,” Mugabe reportedly told Faki at the meeting on February 19.
“My wife is crying daily. They are persecuting her… What am I without my wife and family? We are not safe,” the Zimbabwe Independent quoted Mugabe as saying, citing “detailed notes” supplied by officials who attended the meeting.
Mugabe said his wife was being harassed over her PhD from the University of Zimbabwe. Last week UZ Vice Chancellor Levi Nyagura was arrested for alleged abuse of office for awarding her the degree in 2014. Critics say her thesis is nowhere near PhD standard.
Mugabe reportedly insisted to Faki the PhD was genuine: “I used to see her here working hard day and night. I would assist her here and there, so how can someone wake up and claim she didn’t work for it? This is harassment.”
According to the leaked notes, Mugabe told Faki that Mnangagwa’s appointment as president was illegal, and appealed to the AU to help restore democracy in the country.
“We want you to assist to restore normalcy and democracy in the country and stop this thing of ruling through guns,” he reportedly said.
Mahamat had earlier visited President Emmerson Mnangagwa and tweeted about the double visits.
orisa37: A Bill jointly sponsored by The S.W State Assemblies and Traditional Rulers Council of Oduduwa land and presented to NASS should Repeal The Emirate System in Ilorin and Replace it with a Yoruba Monarchy.
This is why no fulani person will support restructuring, cos they are aware that their Bleep up will finally be treated
Childofaking: The wheather in the north will definitely be good for a solar project.
Other millionaires are just watching Dangote and this man is just investing. Sometime in the future, every meaningful asset in this country will be owned by Dangote.
this is the issue I have with this dangote thing, very soon he will be only one selling refined fuel to all Nigerians thereby controlling the entire economy, next thing will be electricity chai, na only him waka come. Am sacred cos one day there will be no elections and this man will just emerge as Life President of the country from the blues. Not good at all
Comrde3g: No candidate is capable of wresting power from APC Apart from ATIKU.. If u make the mistake of voting for another candidate that is not popular among core Muslims up North, we shall likely have Buhari ruling us again and u know the implications: More nepotism, bloodshed, ethnic cleansing and total colonization by Fulani..
Project Atiku 2019 Go and get your voters card now!! Your voters cards are your power and means of expression of your frustration with this disastrous administration!
The party further made me the state governor and I want to presently pay it and the country back with selfless service that would unite, reconcile and prosper the citizens.
These Politicians and their lies, selfless service kor, looting service ni
darqly: Atiku is NOT fulani bros, do your research again. I'm not even sure of Kwankwaso as well. He seems to be from the heartland of Kano and Kanawa are not of fulani ethnic stock either.
am not fooled, the fulanis keep attaching themselves to the hausas and other tribes in the north to form a deceptive majority for the continuity of their evil agenda.
seunmsg: No credible candidate in PDP again, they are looking to poach Kwakwanso and Tambuwal from APC. Funny enough, Atiku, Kwakwanso, Tambuwal, Lamido, Makarfi, Shekarau and Dankwanbo are all Fulani. Not even a single northern minority is being considered for PDP ticket. David Mark is far more experienced and acceptable than all the Fulani's above but he's not under consideration.
I have nothing against the north producing the president in 2019. However, I will not support a Fulani man to replace Buhari. That will amount to 12 straight years of Fulani rule. Considering the fact that most Fulani's are ethnocentric, Nigerians will end up more bitter and divided if we vote along that line. I will rather vote for Buhari to complete the Norths 8 years and then allow power to return to the south for another 8 years. I cannot cut my nose to spite my face.
@ the bolded, Am with you on this, any southerner supporting another fulani is an hypocrite especially after all the menace of the fulani herdsmen.
Saintp: You have 70% of the landmass in Nigeria. One state in the North alone is bigger than the entire south east. Sambisa is bigger than the whole of south east and the military has cleared it of boko haram. so why then are these guys looking for lands down south if not for a sinister motive.
they already have sixteen states so that's more than enough
EgunMogaji: “How much federally owned land is open for grazing?
Two government agencies manage most of this land: The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management and the Department of Agriculture’s U.S. Forest Service. Livestock grazing is permitted on about 155 million acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management and 95 million acres of U.S. Forest Service lands. The permits and leases issued to ranchers to graze their livestock on these lands are generally valid for 10 years and can be renewed if they abide by the government’s conditions.”
Warship: You were not properly educated in school.
Fulani people should get perforated clay or plastic vertical containers or empty bags of beans and then fill them with sandy soil, cow dungs and grass seedlings then leave it for some days while wetting it everyday.
In 14 days, those grasses will shootout through those holes and every 10 days, it will regrow again as water is applied.
Fulani people should study how to grow grasses through this pattern.
Scientifically we are blind in this part of the world and this is why we cannot develop,even our so called leaders, how many of them are scientifically sound? You see where our problem lie? The Fulani folks can never know this cos their leaders too no sabi, chikena
shalomp: He is saying the truth. The north have a large land mass, then why not use it, we are in modern age. if my land is not fertile for agriculture, I will apply fertilizer and get a better yield, I don't go looking for who I will colonize his land.
This is brilliant, much respect. As Africans we were never wired to solve problems as a result of the kind of education we practice. Instead we react whereas responding to change is always a better way
freeze20: Not all Fulanis are herdsmen. Some Fulanis I have met personally ccondem the herdsmen attack. Buhari is sorounded with bigots that will always give him wrong advice. The solution to this problem is simply disarming both the herdsmen and any armed farmers. Then compel the herdsmen to move into ranching. But those with sinister motives will always want to propose grazing reserve or new cattle colony.
They have no choice any longer, this is why they are opposed to regional governments and decentralization of power in Nigeria which will surely happen whether they like it or not. They have no choice but to go with the ranching option.
Castanea: Their time is up. We give them a clap for acting so strategically for a long time. But they have been found out. Hence, the change in strategy.
their major problem is coming to terms with 21st century realities. The days of pushing cows all over the place is gone. Ranching is the way to go and they must be ready to invest their money if they want to remain in business. Days of free land are also gone.
mandarin: Some facts are clear from all these post: 1. The Fulani are largely well spread people and dominate power through cross breeding. 2.The ruling class in most parts of the North are Fulani and they form both political and economic hegemony.A revolt against them cannot be achieved since the ruling hegemony also have the native blood in them. For instance if my sister should marry an Hausa, I will see her children as part of my ethnic group
3The case of Ilorin bear similarities, the ruling class is a mixed blood of Yoruba and Fulani and they associate themselves more with the north obviously because of political advantage, be it Saraki or Gambari.They are both Yoruba and Fulani depending on choice and their allegiance can shift to Yoruba if power base in Nigeria shift.I think the trouble with the Yoruba is the title, Emir and not the Fulani blood.if the title should change to Oba or. Baale, there may be no issue in future. 3. Ilorin, not Kwara, is the one wth these controversies,other Yoruba towns in Kwara state are not having these troubles. 4 Yes, with the coming of democracy things will change in the political clime and if Nigeria can attain a regional political structure, all the Fulani ruling elites all over will be the greatest losers. Why? They have climbed the tree too close to God and He have decided to shake the tree!
This is why they are against political restructuring and regional government, their power dominance will vanish into thin air, but it will surely happen
Nowenuse: You are very correct. I am from the north-central but I support you whole-heartedly. Almost all the middlebelt and northern minority muslims have sold their conscience and identity to the fulanis.
I would prefer a southern candidate. But my problem is that typical southern leaders are very lilly livered against the north. Watch how fellow southern PDP politicians will sell Donald Duke to a northern PDP candidate. it's just pathetic.
they sell themselves for money, that is the problem with the south be it yoruba, igbo or other tribes down south
Chidexter: Hmm Shehu Sani is correct. Buhari should have. Made an official visit to Benue and no the other way round... But that's what you get when your president is incompetent, slow to act, and would rather stay in aso rock thinking about a new and improved lie to tell us
if the Benue Governor can be stoned by his own people, what will you expect if Buhari visits benue
