The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, has rejected Federal Government’s proposed cattle ranches in the six states of the Southwest and other Yoruba-speaking states.

It described the plan as an imperialist agenda to create Federal cattle territories across Nigeria.

At its monthly meeting yesterday at the home of its leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, in Akure, the Ondo State capital, Afenifere cautioned the Federal Government against imposing any harsh policy on the nation.

In a communique issued at the end of the meeting and read by its National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, the organisation said cattle-rearing is a private business.

It insisted that the government had no business getting involved, if there was no sinister.

The group insisted that “no plot of land in Yoruba land will be available for such cattle ranch and no governor should cede any land for such”.

Afenifere said: “We are devastated by the genocide that took place in Plateau State on Sunday in which over 200 deaths occurred, by eyewitnesses accounts, but the police admitted 100.

“These wanton killings and official irresponsibility portrays Nigeria as a barbaric entity. We, the Yoruba, are pained living in the same space with the bestial elements who kill innocent people in cruel manner.

“The images of children killed mercilessly with open skulls make anyone with human blood flowing in his or her veins to shrink. We are further distressed that the response of President Muhammadu Buhari to the murder of hundreds of our citizens did not attract a word of sympathy or regret.

“It is very infuriating that the President’s response and that of Miyetti Allah appeared to have been authored from the same laptop. The Chairman of the North Central zone of Miyetti Allah, Danladi Ciroma, said the attacks were a retaliation for the loss of 300 cows…”

Pained?
It is hard for me to believe the Yoruba is saying this..

This was exactly Odumegwu Ojukwu saw more than 50 years ago.
And what did the Yoruba do?

Anyway, what can i say?

Good Morning, Yoruba

They did this in Birmingham?
Need to hear the full story.
This is barbaric!!

Its not yet barbaric enough.
Wait until they begin to slit throats,, burn down houses and cut pregnant women open.

We are still warning our people that these people are blood thirsty.

I have no comment, just watch the short. video.

The only major violence we have is the one carried out terrorist Nigeria Army and Criminal Nigerian Police.

Then pockets of Fulani Jihardists cum herdsmen.

It is terrible

Why are you guys exposing them like this?
Nigerian army will soon annihilate and call them 'militia'.

Words of the wise..

Yet, Sir.
We don't need an Igbo Presidency.
If it ever happens, the North will make Nigeria ungovernable for whoever it will be.

A more sensible post from u

Things have happened so fast in this first 4 years that people wonder if they can survive another 4 years especially with the level of bigotry shown by the head of these security agencies...south dont hate north yhey just need a candidate who isnt nepotic

The problem is this
The South is very liberal in all areas.

From politics to religion to you name it.

The North is crude in all areas. Fro. Politics to religion to you name it.

Why are we pretending its all okay?

maclatunji:


The post of a person who few months ago was making noise about how Nnamdi Kanu is the best thing to happen after slice bread.

Confused logic you have. You are claiming Biafran and at the same time trying to get certain parties elected.

Who doesn't know that your entire agitation is a political ploy to get certain rejected people back into power?

You should be warning yourself from mischief instead of trying to advice others.

Do you know the problem some of you have?
You lack the intellectual ability to comprehend a single composition.

As if that is not enough, you are so pathetic in your reasoning faculty if you think this whole thing is about who rules Nigeria...

For crying out loud, Nigeria cannot be ruled in peace by anyone.. Nigeria is a mistake of slave traders. The slave camp is not working, it has never worked and will never work.

Just between you and me, fold your hands and watch as blood continues to flow.

Maybe the day the blood will come near you, then the scales will fall from hour eyes.

If you ever imagined i was trying to impress you.then you really help much more than i can imagine,

LaudableXX:

Oh you are saying this, so that people can believe you are shedding real tears for the Middle Belt? We know you better than that. You are only pretending to be concerned, and shedding crocodile tears, while secretly gloating over their situation.


So blood has not been shed in the South east by the Fulani herdsmen? Didn't I call you an alarmist earlier? Continue with your evil pronouncements against the Middle-Belt. That is the only thing you know how to do. You are too clueless to proffer a solution, everyone knows that.

hahahahahahaha
You mean your headache is whether i am emphatic about the killings or just pretending?

I am insignificant bro, its never about me but the soul of African destroyed by colonialism.

Firstpage:


I don't have to keep arguing at this stage.

So you think APC is set up for northerners alone to be presidents.

Ok. You can stick to your own belief

You need education bro.
The North dont give a damn about parties.

Their region, religion, ethnicity and party are one and the same.

LaudableXX:

Stop shedding crocodile tears, please. Were you not the one wishing them evil, a short while ago when you opened this thread?

The blood shedding, the annihilation going on in the middle belt and annexation of their lands by terrorists is not a "wish" but a reality.

LaudableXX:


Just siddon dey look. The IPOB clique with their backward mentality, will soon descend on this thread. One of them opened this thread, by predicting evil for the Middle-Belt and the South already. Let us see what kind of antics the others will use to entertain us.

If the blood flowing in the Middle Belt and South at the moment is not evil enough in your eyes, then you need to see a doctor to examine your heart, it might be that of human.

Firstpage:


Yes it should't but we all know it is an arduous task unseating a sitting president.

It is tacit because it is not in our constitution. In 2023, You will see political heavyweights jostling for the president from the south. the reason they are not coming out now is because of the tacit agreement. Every politician knows the reality.

We can but unfortunately our democracy is till evolving.

That so called agreement was just a worded one among the PDP members.
Wake up from this your dream please

Firstpage:


The IG is not representing the north but the police. This your innuendo will further divide Nigeria. Tomorrow when the IG is Igbo, would you say he's representing the east? Your agenda is IPOB and we could see through you no matter how hard you try to mask it with empathy.

Nigeria is passing through a lot of challenge and it is our duty as citizens to work hard and not lose hope. Every nation has it's own challenges and it is not enough to call for secession at every obstacle facing the nation. biafra would have it's own teething problem when achieved, would you divide it city by city until every village is a country? You have a right to seek for secession but don't burn the bridge.

Nigeria would will be great. These old folks are dying and let's allow them to leave the stage. Buhari is the last of the old order to rule Nigeria and I believe after him only digital and intellectuals will be presidents both from the north and south.

You are just an academical philosopher living in a non existent elderado.
This present IG in his personal capacity is speaking the mind of the North and not that of the police force.
If you cant get this little piece of raw truth into your tick skull, then i give up sir.

An Igbo IG? hahahahaha
How many of them have you had so far?

Ok, let me day dream with you
Assuming we have an Igbo IG, and we have Igbo armed robbers terrorizing people across Nigeria. would you think he would ask Nigerians to always open their doors to armed robbers and part with whatever they are in peace so that armed robbers will not kill them.

Will he be speaking for the NPF?

For your info, these killer herdsmen are far worse than armed robbers.

Wake up bro, please wake up

Cooly100:


You are grossly ignorant.

Who would believe that Fuani herdsmen are killing people everywhere and none has been charged for murder?

Who would believe that they are still killing with the support of the security...

...everything is possible

It is either they are blind or they see the truth but convince themselves to believe in lies

Firstpage:


unfortunately that's how all of them thinks. They don't even empathize with the people but mock them. You see words like "but they vote buhari" 'they joined aboki to fight us in the civil war" "chineke is fighting for us" bla bla bla......yet they come here and type nonsense as if they care.

I weep for the people of the middle belt.
Some of us are genuinely concerned.

Of course we should be..

have the terrorists not attacked Enugu and Ebonyi?
Even Anambra has been touched.

Firstpage:

Stop twisting my words. They kill and are being killed because they are clashing with the local farmers who have to protect their farmlands. Your reasoning is too shallow and myopic. You form opinion based on your bigoted agenda without being open minded. No one is happy that people are being killed. but you must look into things deeply with facts before arriving at a conclusion, not taking the easy way out with dumb conspiracies.

When a crime is committed, what is the state supposed to do?
This is exactly my problem, you guys sound as if killing is normal.
By all means, any criminal especially murder must be made to face the law.

What logic are you talking about?
That there are killings and counter killings..
excuse me please.

Firstpage:

We all know that fulanis value cow more that their 'own' lives. I have witnessed it.

The IG is just a reflection of the pathetic state of the police force.

We all know about the elctoral fraud all over Nigeria. The highest rigger wins.

The IG is not representing the police force,
he is representing the North.
That is their mentality.

And let me ask you,
so, where is hope?

Firstpage:


another northerner would mean 12 years of northern rule. Herdsmen issue has always been there but it took a higher dimension in recent years because of the climate change and desertification in the far not. It has nothing to do with Jihad. The government has been slow in tackling the issue but I blame the governors more.

What are the police and the army for?

You mean because of climate change, they are licensed to kill?
Honestly, these kind of reasoning shows Nigeria is doomed

Firstpage:


who said the number of people killed in Benue does not matter?

And Buhari was brought because of Boko haram. In 2023 an Igbo man will be brought because of IPOB

Ok. The north will continue to rule you alone. But the north will cease to be my president in 2023.

May the Merciful Lord keep us alive till then,
and you will see how myopic you are.

Firstpage:


stop lying to make a point.

1. This is unfortunate

2. terrorist herdsmen are being arrested. we all know that our judicial process is slow.

3. nobody behaves as if it is normal, hence the outcry.
4. by who?
5. depends on the 'truth' you are talking about. you don't mix lies and half truth together and expect sane minds to believe you.

You only condemn electoral fraud in the north and look away to that of the south. That's hypocrisy.

http://dailypost.ng/2018/01/19/god-created-herdsmen-value-cows-humans-reps-member-dukku/

Member representing Dukku/Nafada Federal Constituency of Gombe State, Hon. Aishatu Jibril Dukku has thrown her weight behind herdsmen, saying their cows are very important to them.

Dukku during plenary on herdsmen attacks, said Fulani herdsmen value lives of their cows more than their own lives.

Aisha told the house that too much consumption of maggi has made Nigerians so impatient to their problems.

She advised government authorities to proffer a workable solution in favour of the herdsmen.

“You can’t sit down and make conclusions on herdsmen. Yes, they values life of their cows more than even their own lives because that is how God has created them.

“Nigerians have become so edgy these days, maybe because of the food we eat, maybe because we eat too much of maggi.

Now, this came from a law maker.
And the police IG instead of doing the needful, said Governors cannot make anti grazing laws without first building ranches for private businesses.

There is nothing we cannot see and hear in Nigeria.

As for the electoral fraud. i am telling you what is happening.

Firstpage:


Only Igbos carry this northern fear for head. No Yoruba is threatened by any northerner or Muslim. For someone to even think that a Jihad could still happen or install an emir in a foreign land in this day and age is really pathetic. how would you install an emir in this modern age? by killing all the indigens?

some would tell you power would never come back to the south. I'm like wtf? The highest the northerners would spend is 12 years. that's if buhari is defeated by another northerner in 2019.

Ok, perhaps the number of people killed in benue state does not matter yet?
You are so pathetic.

Now let me tell you something about rotational president in Nigeria,l
It is not in the constitution.

You guys should wake up to reality.
the North handed power to OBJ because of Abiola.
Jonathan was brought because of militancy in the Niger Delta.

Some of you know nothing about Nigeria.

NubaVertigo:
Okay, to rectify the supposed quote I posted before, I just found this online and have to say it does seem to put that quote in a bad light... the quote is probably false or just regarded as banter

http://www.gamji.com/article9000/NEWS9621.htm

I understand the present uprisings in certain muslim countries around the world can cause us to be really scared in the southern half, and perhaps we suffer a little bit from an inferiority complex from being previously paired with a northern half that came with a relatively advanced muslim civilization, at the time..which we have allowed to scare us into concocting doomsday theories... but honestly, northerners usually do seem pretty level headed and less prone to emotional outbursts regarding policy. Yo, if anything starts to go sour in Naij, hit me up

You mean you are not aware of the blood shed across Nigeria?
From the way i see you, even a 16 inch mm rod, cannot wake you even you are hit with it a 1000 times

Firstpage:


please read before quoting. Did you see hate speech in my post?

Anybody that says Igbo will never be president is only delusional. It's just a matter of time.

Any day an Igbo man takes over to rule Nigeria, then Nigeria will be made to be so ungovernable for that silly Igbo man.

Any igbo man who thinks the problem is to produce an igbo president is not only delusional but hallucinating.

Nigeria has never worked, Nigeria is not working and Nigeria will never work..
Unless we face this truth then sit down to find a solution, we are only postponing the dooms day: the day of the Baboons and monkeys as spoken by "Prophet Buhari".

Firstpage:


What is your grouse for opening this thread?

Is it that you hate buhari or northerners?

For your info. Nigerians have tacitly agreed to rotate power between the north and south in a democratic process after the military misadventures. This unfortunately do not bring the best but it is good for a multi ethnic country like Nigeria. The north have more population than the south but cannot produce a president on it's own. Electoral fraud is common in both north and south albeit in different methods.

Buhari will spend eight years and hand over to the south. Why not wait for the north to serve it's term and let power come back to the south in the spirit of sportsmanship instead of spewing hate daily and spinning conspiracy theories.

I neither hate Buhari nor northerners

This is what i hate...

1. When a group of herdsmen leave their lands and invade other peoples lands, destroy their farms, kill them and burn their houses.

2. Nobody is arrested, nobody is hanged for the murder and terrorism

3. and some people are behaving as if it is normal

4. a nation where cows are valued more than humans

5, a nation where truth is hated and black is called white


Just imagine your argument, rather than condemn electoral fraud, you justify it be saying it happens in the south too.

Nigeria is doomed with such perversion of reason.

LaudableXX:

For you to agree with him, it shows you are a poor student of history, and you are out of touch with the reality on ground.

Educate me
Please, what is the reality?

When you are forced to live in a nation where a kid who scored 65% is denied admission because she is from Anambra while another kid who scored 2% is offered the same admission, because he is from Yobe, you may end up inquiring irrationality.

When you live in nation where the police IG who who should arrest terrorists is ordering Governors to build ranches for the terrorists before issuing laws against them, you are likely to acquire irrationality.

When you live in nation where a Presidential candidate said fight against terrorist is fight against a section of country, you are likely to acquire irrationality.

When you live in a nation where a President gave a shoot at sight order against youths armed with flags, but give excuses for terrorists armed with AK47, you may also acquire irrationality.

When you live in a nation of almost 200,000,000 people among whom intellectuals but only a semi illiterate and religious bigot is found worthy to lead, then irrationality is likely to be the norm.

Yet, i can understand your predicament..
To your specie, black is white and rational humans are called irrational

It is an erroneous thought that the Hausa/fulani is not educated,on the contrary,they are more educated than the rest of us.They aquired Islamic education that predates western education,though,they can't speak English fluently,they are far ahead of the south in political calculations and farsightedness.

These Southern Professors and Elites think that education is equivalent to making speeches in English language.
many of them are flaunting impotent papers called cerficates but have not the slightest idea about politics.

The best they can do is rant on newspapers, radios and televisions.
When the chips are down, a man who cannot account of his WAEC certificate is leading a nation made of intellectuals.

it is irony.
What do the likes of Buhari know about the micro and macro economy of a nation?
Imagine the reasoning capacity difference between Osinbajo and Buhari..

It is comical.

coputa:
His submissions are not prayers,,it is the true situation of how things are presently.Middle beltans and southerners are the ball pickers in Nigeria politics.the south has been conquered politically and waiting to be seized physically.

A bitter and ugly truth so glaring like the light from the Sun..
It is baffling how these people are so blind....

“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” .... What the h*ll is this??

Its 'patriotism' according to lovers of the crap called Nigeria
