kabrud:So called educated ppl will then turn around and call others backward - amazingly, even their supposed men of God are involved in the witch hunting. |
ANAMBRA11:At least they don't eat people - now how primitive are they? |
LOL, then all senators should be well advised to wear bullet proof jackets and ready to take cover as that woman will surely be AK47-ing the English Language to smithereens! |
Diversification does not necessarily mean completely abandoning what you already have; while sustained exploration is an ongoing process in most oil producing countries to shore up their reserves; exploration in other parts of this country is in its own right a form of diversification, in this case involving the diversification of the source locations of such commodity (instead of having everything in the same place and therefore becoming vulnerable to sabotage as we currently have in the ND) in order to consolidate our energy security. People who cannot understand this obvious strategy may have mortgaged their brains to the recession or may deliberately be playing dumb out of mischief and sentiments. |
escapefromusa:There is vacancy for a chief impregnator in one of the baby factories in his area, the job does not require brain power, pls tell him to apply since he apparently has none. ![]() |
adewumiopeyemi: ![]() |
Nofuckgiven:Touche! |
FeloniousFelon:I doubt if you wrote this trash yourself, you probably lifted it elsewhere and simply copied and pasted it here without bothering to even read the contents before hand otherwise you wouldn't have uploaded it the risk of exhibiting such embarrassing stupidity. I presume you would prefer the southern Kaduna communities to be left exposed without protection at the mercy of the herdsmen - so that you could come here and still blame El-Rufai for abandoning them (just like GEJ left the entire NE exposed at the mercy of Boko Haram). Secondly, you forgot that as governor the entire land of the state is already vested in him and could easily therefore single-handedly carve out such land for the Fulani if he so wished? The airports you mentioned including new establishments such as major towns like Abuja came and met the Fulani already grazing on the land; who were simply pushed without compensation. |
mascot87:And they wonder why they are slowly becoming the most despised ppl in the country and why their insults will never make their candidate popular enough to be voted into the presidency. |
mercyville:Reserve your pity, just pray the authorities step in and do the right thing before it is too late, no one is wishing for bloodshed. |
seguntijan:Couldn't have said it any better; I am also so happy that for once, the eyes of so many brainwashed youths (judging from the responses so far) have finally opened to realise their real enemies; that they have come to appreciate the true cause of their current problem. |
mercyville:That was I said the authorities should quickly step in and fish out the culprits on both sides in order to stave the desire for anyone to take the law into their hands and break the cycle of violence - in this case give justice to the clan of this clearly innocent herdsman, who may have no part in the earlier beheading - otherwise it is a sure banker, they will be bound by their culture to take revenge, and they would. |
Nofuckgiven:It is the only language the real bigots seem to understand; they are being given a taste of their own medicine and therefore slowly beginning to appreciate what if feels like to be at the end of incessant unwarranted insults and abuses; eventually they will come to realise that they do not have a monopoly of bigotry and will get as much as they dish out; hopefully they will know the meaning of mutual respect - until then, the lesson will continue till we reach detente. |
FeloniousFelon:You are clearly being disingenuous with your allegations against El-Rufai concerning the proposed permanent military presence in southern Kaduna, as a measure to provide protection and security to all inhabitants of the area - which no intelligent person would assume it was the making of El-Rufai alone but the summation of the collaborative inputs of all the security agencies both state and national. Under the circumstances I can hardly see how provision of such land by the state government for a FG establishment (which is happening all the time) for the mentioned purpose, can be construed by any sense as land grabbing - considering the that fact such land is already vested under his care to allocate as deemed fit, in the best interest of the state; what could again be in the best interest of the state other than to ensure security for his citizens; perhaps you would prefer leaves the southern Kaduna locals at the mercy of the herdsmen (just as GEJ left the entire NE at the mercy of Boko Haram). Secondly, your initial reference to the land grabbing was quite clearly confined to the southern Kaduna area; I therefore believe my response was equally gauged to align with your response. As for the existence of grazing reserves in the south, well I can't confidently affirm to that; though I am aware that the Fulani have been grazing their cattle all they way down to the southern parts of Nigeria as far back as colonial times; in accordance with the rainy seasons and the availability of grazing vegetation - their limitation being only the adverse effect of the tsetse fly on their cattle which limits their stay there. I would also want to believe even as we speak now that there established permanent Fulani settlements all over the south, including the SE spanning generations, some of them having been born there and therefore quite fluent in the local dialect and even intermarrying between themselves - these settlements arising not through displacement of any community or individuals but established on virgin unclaimed unoccupied land. |
Nofuckgiven:If you should comb most of the threads in this forum you may begin to appreciate why it is appropriate to also return the favour - I promise to refrain if you should succeed in stopping your kinsmen from doing same. |
FeloniousFelon:I am quite aware of the provisions you mentioned, however, when you mentioned land grabbing it presupposes land being taken over by individuals, in this case by the Fulanis in southern Kaduna - that was why I made the distinction that lands belongs to the government; though I never went on to suggest in anyway that it is vested in the FG - pls read my post carefully again. |
makdcash:Yes indeed, nothing is off their menu, including homo sapiens. ![]() |
FeloniousFelon:And you think that would solve the problem or that would stop the Fulani from moving freely within their country and abandoning their way of life overnight? If you are aware of the land use act you probably wouldn't have spoken about land grabbing because many ppl mistakenly believe they own the land they occupy; whereas all land belongs to the government which it leases to individuals/organisations under a C of O for a fixed period of time (usually 99yrs or less) on payment of annual fees (land rent). You also ignorantly presupposed that the Fulani have no right to land not knowing that they long establish grazing reserves dating back to colonial times; which have been illegally taken over by farmers over the years and partly the consequence of the current crisis; they furthermore also have long established cattle routes throughout West Africa, recognised and guaranteed under several conventions of the ECOWAS - some of you have obviously been fed on one sided stories/information for too long that made you underestimate the complexity of the problem and the rights of the Fulani to also co-exist with other Nigerians. |
jamislaw:Then he will only be playing into the hands of the conflict entrepreneurs, who are profiting from the continued unrest; they don't want peace and have been doing everything to incite hatred between the two communities, including twisting the conflict into a religious and ethnic one - through their divisive preaching and speeches of hate. The danger is if they are allowed to succeed; then sooner or later this country could be witnessing a war between Christians and Muslims - the potential is dangerously real and we should realise what they are doing and join heads to stop them before it is too late. |
duni04:This is the most dangerous recent developing aspect of the conflict; outsiders like Fayose, FFK and latterly priests & pastors are adding fuel to fire by turning the conflict into a religious one and further stoking the embers with hatred through their speeches along the already existing fragile religious divide. If we are not careful this problem;which is simply an economic tussle for a dwindling resource between two professional groups pastoralist vs farmers for land to graze against land to farm; could quickly degenerate into a bloody open conflict between Muslims and Christians and could bring the whole country down - these ppl are playing with fire. You are quite correct; indeed the problem is not religious, ethnic nor even regional but as already mentioned, an economic one; and had been with us for donkey years throughout the whole country, in the north as much as in the south, and by and large been contained via a local justice system at the grassroot (especially in the north). Whenever herdsmen stray into a farm the farmer is encouraged not to take the law into his hand but to report the matter to local Fulani head (called the Ardo) or LGA; who in turn ensure the farmer is compensated (even if it should involve selling some the cattle to pay for the damage) and the case is closed. Unfortunately, in more recent times intolerance and hatred has reached a level (especially in the south) where the farmer/community are too impatient to key into the above conflict resolution system and often resort to taking the law into their own hands, resorting to attacking/killing the herder (usually stick carrying young boys) or the cows in a disproportionate manner. This unfortunately often result in setting off the Fulani culture of revenge, involving calling for re-enforcements from their extended network of brotherhood all over West Africa, their finest armed young warriors assembling to inflict their form of revenge. In short, the problem we have today is due to the absence of justice for victims from both sides, such that the aggrieved party has no choice but to take the law into their hands, resulting in reprisals and counter reprisals. The only way to break the cycle of violence is to ensure the perpetrators are always brought to book and govt arrest anyone preaching or inciting hate and violence while media assumes professionalism and neutrality in its reporting of such incidences. The recent beheading of a supposedly innocent peace loving herdsman, may have potentially opened a new frontier of hate and violence between his clan and this local community; unless the authorities quickly step in and arrest the perpetrators, as well as trace back the perpetrators of the earlier beheading of the local community member which may have set off this seemingly latest reprisal beheading. If nothing is done, then the local community should start sleeping with one eyed opened because these Fulani will be bound by culture to take their pound of flesh in revenge; no matter how long, even if it means passing this obligation down to the next generation, they will never forget nor forgive. Unfortunately when it comes to conflict, the Fulani will often have the upper hand because they are mobile and have bush craft and the element of surprise on their side; while their opponents in local settlements will be no more than mere sitting ducks, ready for the pickings - that is why casualties are often higher on their side and why they should avoid such conflict and instead allow community elders/authorities handle such disputes; otherwise they have more to lose. In fact the recent southern Kaduna crisis had been traced back to such breakdown in conflict resolution; after a local Fulani Ardo had gone to reach agreement to pay for a herdmans damage to a farmer but before he could do so, local youths enraged with anger and hatred attacked and killed him along with any other Fulani in the vicinity - unknown to them this Ardo was well loved and respected within the vast Fulani extended fraternity; and the rest is what we have been seeing; similar causes can also be traced to the Enugu killings and so on. |
IYANGBALI:Indeed; they'll rape anything on sight, from minors to old women including their mothers - then they'll shamelessly turnaround and call other ppl pedophiles. |
@OP: Please provide the source of your evidence e.g. link to Youtube video clip etc; because what you uploaded could have been manufactured/tampered with by anyone, especially as the purported Channels TV seemed unusually to be having difficulty with the correct spelling of the word SACK which it misspelt as SHACK - this to me is quite suspicious; especially in this age of falsehood and information manipulation . |
FastShipping:I understand what you are saying; however, I am willing to put my head on the block and say he can't because I am sure there is no such video; it is all in his malicious vindictive imagination put out to poison vulnerable gullible minds to hate like him. |
FastShipping:He can't because there is none; but that won't stop him from spreading lies and malicious propaganda of hate in order to incite more gullible hateful ppl like himself to hate even more. |
kizking:And you are a habitual Jonathan/PDP apologist who has not gotten over the election and therefore can't see anything good about this govt, who consequently resort to spreading lies and distortion in order to achieve your divisive agenda - yes I voted APC and still believe the govt is doing its best in the present situation, given the 16yrs of PDP mismanagement and corruption it inherited. If you have any counter argument against what I said pls do so or otherwise keep quiet; by all means attack the message but not the messenger. It is quite obvious that you were disappointed because I watched the programme and you didn't and can therefore verify what was said while you can't. You were further disappointed because I was able to challenge your unwarranted criticism of El-Rufai and the Buhari/APC government based on your apparent hatred for who they are and what they stood for - some of us are programmed to be objective while others aren't. |
owobokiri:Please explain how Buhari's policy crashed the international crude oil price, resulting in our reduced dollar earnings and therefore depreciation the Naira international currencies (by the forces of supply and demand) - when a lot you still insist on importing frivolous items such as toothpick/paste and lately even egusi and ogbono soup from India thereby further depleting our dollar reserve wastefully and unnecessarily? Why do many of you seem to choose to be deliberately ignorant and illogically spiteful and hateful? |
nairaman101:If that should apply to everybody; then more than half of you hitting the airwaves would have been locked up for good by the DSS. Just take a look at the insulting, abusive and threatening posts in this forum alone by many of you against northerners, their tribe or the religion of Islam. |
sparrowkid:LOL, you mean he would have committed suicide than kill himself ![]() |
Jokerman:Of course you will be ready to believe such one sided told story without asking questions; you must assume the DSS is an Islamic organisation made up of entirely Muslim staff (without Christians) and therefore pursuing an Islamic agenda - that is ever possible. Do you know that some of these so called men of God have turned these religious unrest into money making business; they obtain huge sympathy donations from international organisations by exaggerating or lying about the conflicts, sometimes with graphics horrific images lifted elsewhere to give the impression as if Christians were being killed at a much higher scale, they also profit by ensuring continued unrest through direct funding of militia groups and also planting hatred in the hearts of their followers via hate speeches. A lot of these donations received in the name of rebuilding of burnt/destroyed churches end up diverted into their pockets to support their lavish lifestyles at the expense of peace and harmony. Evidence of this had surfaced in the ongoing southern Kaduna crisis (many would be shocked when the official enquiry report is compiled and released) it would not surprise me therefore if the DSS were following up along the lines of this premise. |
Sankabson:From what I can gather, the story is not exactly like that; you can say it was a typical example of dog eat dog. Apparently, a bunkering outfit was in the business of stealing oil directly from the pipeline, with connivance of the local youths who were being paid hush money to keep quiet; however, this young wanted to muscle in and equally be collecting similar payment from the bunkerers and proceeded to disrupt their business by vandalising the pipeline. Unfortunately for him, he thought they had reached agreement to meet his demands not knowing they were only pretending and would later send assassins to eliminate him - after he must have foolishly exposed himself and over played his hands. The above foregoing gives an insight to how the NDltns are being their own worst enemies; they are actively involved in the destruction of their own environment through breaching and directly looting from the pipelines and pursuing contracts for repair of the damage they caused. These along with militancy, kidnapping and arm robbery is making the major oil companies to dis-invest away from onshore to offshore - to the detriment of the local economy. |
maximunimpact:My thoughts exactly; meanwhile he will be using innocent bank customers/staff as his experimental guinea pigs to learn his trade - later he may even come here to condemn quota system. |
