Herdsmen and farmers have always clashed since the evolution of man from wanderers to settlers. The issue has lingered in sub Saharan Africa because the herdsmen refused to evolve to ranchers while farmers remained subsistence instead of mechanized. In Nigeria rapid population growth, desert encroachment and community farm expansion has led to more frequent confrontation between herdsmen and farming communities.

However what Omenka and other well meaning Nigerians are concerned about is the recent use of the media to sell a false report that because Buhari is President he has empowered herdsmen whom they tagged Fulani and Muslim to invade communities with purpose of "Islamizing" them. That the clashes started or has increased under Buhari or that there was no such clash in the Southeast until Buhari became President. The aim is to create an ethno-religious crisis where Nigerians will start killing each other just because they belong to different ethnic or religious groups.

I've once asked if many Nairalanders actually read Philosophy and Logic in School.

1 All Fulanis are not herdsmen

2 All herdsmen are not Fulanis

3 All Fulanis are not Muslims

4 All Muslims are not Fulanis

5 All herdsmen are not Ak 47 carrying criminals

6 All Ak 47 carrying criminals are not herdsmen

Three things -
Was there a spike in herdsmen attack recently - YES.

Are herdsmen predominantly Fulanis - YES.

Are Fulanis mostly, if not all moslems - YES

The question then should be, what led to the recent spike in fulani herdsmen attack, your guess as good as mine.

Xsolutions:
It's not a theory.

Thank you.

No proof = Theory.

Thanks

Xsolutions:
First off, my 'theory' is not a theory but TRUTH, whether you believe it or not!

The 'bolded' in your statement is not new; that said, ALL killings of that nature is bad and should have been contained and stopped a long time ago...

BUT, these recent 'Fulani Herdsmen' (notice the quotes) attacks, coinciding with Boko Haram's near and almost complete decimation, is UNDOUBTEDLY politically motivated...PERIOD!

Thank you.

It is still a poor theory because your submission is seeking to clear the Fulani herdsmen of killings that they are guiltyof without pointing to alternative suspect.

Also Jos & Plateau states are theatres of Fulani herdsmen killings that started years ago.

Xsolutions:
Anybody with half-a-brain knows this 'Fulani Herdsmen' debacle is a politically motivated script!
Only "quarter-brains" whose hearts have been corroded with HATE and whose ears love LIES, especially those people from 'THAT PART' of the country believe false/unverified tales from compromised news outlets like the untrusworthy and insidious VANGUARD

GET IT NOW!, there is no group of 'Fulani Herdsmen' looking for people to kill; what you have is a politically sponsored and motivated group of terrorists looking to dictate the political destiny of our country. KAPISH!

God Bless The President.
God Bless Nigeria...AMEN

For your theory to hold, you need to point out an alternative suspected culprits in all the massacres associated with Fulani herdsmen, starting from Zamfara to Kaduna to Plateau, Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Kogi, Ondo, Ogun & Enugu states.

Secondly, did Fulani herdsmen killings start today?

Moreover, the Fulanis have not denied killings, they've only justified it as repraisals.

fulanmafia:
And ordinary Fulani herdsmen can suddenly afford AK47's and magazines?

And ordinary Fulani herdsmen suddenly prefer playing hide and seek with security forces and vigilantes instead of grazing peacefully like they've been doing for decades?

There is no denying that criminal elements amongst the herdsmen or mercenaries are responsible for the violence, the point here is that you cannot criminalize the whole because of the activities of a few misfits.

And an ordinary herdsman also works for a seriki that can afford crates of ak-47 & the so-called criminal elements are faceless & often turns out to be Fulani herdsmen.

fulanmafia:
There are criminals engaging in terrorism who are herdsmen, and that is a fact. Another fact is that not all of the criminals carrying out all of these attacks from Benue to Enugu are legitimate Fulani herdsmen. You cannot generalize the activities of cattle rustlers and terrorists.

The Fulani herdsmen's spokesman emphasized that if you see any herdsman with an AK47, that is definitely a rustler and there is a war against their activities.

What you're doing is akin to saying all Igbos are drug traffickers, insane.

And cattle rustlers suddenly left cattle rustling to rustle for human heads of farmers that had disputes with Fulani hersdmen, irony.

And criminals engaged in terrorism carry out their terror attacks on farmers & farming communities only?

omenka:
You guys should stop trying too hard to sell a lie. At no point did any "international community" designate Fulani Herdsmen as "2nd most deadly" terrorist organisation. What GTI said was Fulani Militant Group but you guys and the press have twisted it to "Fulani herdsmen"

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/global-terrorism-index-nigerian-fulani-militants-named-as-fourth-deadliest-terror-group-in-world-a6739851.html

So, since one encounter allegedly confirms they are Fulanis, it means the rest unconfirmed incidents were carried out by fulanis also?? Is that what you are saying??

Are all drug related crimes committed by Igbos?? The answer is an emphatic NO!!

Criminal profiling never helps any community mr. That is the message I'm passing across.

Millitants, herdsmen , the common denominator is Fulani.

You have not pointed to any other likely source of the crime associated with these Fulani, so trying to exhonorate the fingered culprits without pointing to most probable alternative is out of it.
No need profiling a crime that the perpetrators are well known. The victims have identified the criminals & the jury is out with a verdict, the Fulanis are guilty

No Vanguard or local media, print or electronic designated Fulani herdsmen 2nd most deadly terror group globally, the international community did.

Name any other tribe commonly associated with nomadic cattle rearing aside the Fulanis.

Which other nomadic cattlle rearing 'tribe' is known for attaching higher premium to cows life than human life?

Defending a people who came out openly to justify their violent aggression with the loss of their cattle lives is very contradictory.

Numerous tribes & people groups from Edo, Delta, Enugu, Kogi, Benue, Ondo, Kaduna, Taraba, Ogun & Adamawa had at various times, more recently attributed rape, kidnaps & wanton killings to Fulani herdsmen must have done that out of an 'amazing' national lying synchronisation that deserves global applause.

Please tell me Chief Olu Falae who had direct personal encounter with those monsters as a kidnap victim must be telling a Septugenarian lie of immense proportion.

Good if true.

Wishful thinking.

7 of those states is PDP + APGA & only 3 APC are not owing despite the fact that we have more APC controlled states.

APC is a fraud.

Wailer spotted.

Proudly 5% one.

Try be proud of your own as Zombie.

Buhari is lawless.

Why will DSS detain a man based on a petition without arraignment, what happened to police?

The federal government of Nigeria are idiots?

You did not protect the people from Fulani headhunters & the people have now taken their safety into their hands, you are resisting.

Do we have a govt talkless of federal one?

And so?

We don't have light, fuel, water, jobs, money & are not safe.

Keneking:
Our yams, this month of May is critical for Jonathan.

He has a date with EFCC before the first anniversary of PMB government.

Recent revelations from those who served in various capacities in his government are sufficient to nail him.

He can keep moving from city to city and country to country, the time is now to retrieve all that his government stole from Nigeria.

Those that love him are beneficiaries of his corrupt government. Nonsense

Jonathan sef

Zombie alert.

By the way, Is falana planning to join the wailers club??... No way!, No more admittance. If the Lagos state chairman of our great association should surreptitiously give him that form, let him get ready for disciplinary actions. Falana should remain in his zombie coven.

SECONDED.

onatisi:
This guy is just plain stupid and dumb . So his brains didn't tell him to talk to tiwa and teebliz before writing the dumb stupid statement he wrote yesterday. I am sure this guy hands works faster than his brains and he writes before thinking

He is a fool at 40 & will be a fool forever.

Freeze is a buffoon.

dunkem21:
I thought it was announced that Wailers form is finished?

Tell them oo, admission of new members has been suspended till further notice.

Politicians using Nigerians brain matters to prepare yam porridge since 1914 - Herbert Macaulay 1946.

op stop lying that is not Nigeria.

APC is a terrible party of terrible people with terrible supporters.

Imagine, so Malians & Nigeriens are the ones killing Nigerians in Jos, Agatu, Ondo & Uzo-Uwani? Then Buhari should resign for loosing our sovereignty to Malians.

Is Buhari not mad?

Reminds me of Elechi Amadi's ' The Concubine',..........marry & ?.


Why op come become FTC on his own thread?

PDP is Nigeria's GOP, grand old party.
