Im surprised to hear police make arrest of fulani herdsmen. What happened now that same herdsmen that could not be found before are now visible and traceable?

FG is incapable of solving this problem anywhere, but Yoruba must be the one to cure it in SW. It is curable.

Andhominem:
Fire the bastards already!

The villagers made mistake calling police. If they had called OPC those bastards would already be roasted to prevent their reincarnation.

God bless Gov. Abdulrazaq!

Team Kwara!

Danwakae:
You are not a kwaran, go and ask the kwarans.


Kwara state is a fulani emirate, I don't ve time to start naming communities where fulani head in Kwara and the kwarans have tried on many occasions to dethrone the Emirs and make the Obas the head but to no avail....Kwara state is a conquered territory by the FULANIS. The Aare Kakanfo made reference to that of recent...I don't support voilent and hates , but don't ITIMIDATE or dare the fulanis. All tribes have their various bad eggs..thanks be to ALLAH, fulanis weren't accuse of the COZA issue.

Allah ya taimaka wa 'yan tawaye in this trying times.

Allah ya tsina wa masu koran Yarabawa!

Yanzu haka ba wani alheri a tsakanin mu da ku. Kowa ya rike na shi!

Bloody rejects!

You seem to be selective on which witnesses to believe

Anybody can put pictures together and write a piece.

Fulani herdsmen killed Mrs Olakunri, this we know.

ahaz:
with what is happening now am waiting patiently for any idiot that will come here and iinsult kanu

Ipob piggly-wiggly, The only people that have insulted and maltreated kanu are his own ibo people. Talk to your leaders about kanu's case. Do not derail this thread.

The Nigerian military is currently in possession of a recording of the conversation between one of the leaders of the bandits terrorising Zamfara state and an emir, where he threatened to continue the bloodshed.

Herald Nigeria learnt that the emir in the audio is from Zurmi, one of the hotspots of violence in the state.

The bandit said in Hausa, “God has already given you a position (as an emir) and when you talk, people listen. You have some poor masses in the bushes. This violence started happening in our state about six years ago or so.

“They killed my people, they killed my relations, they killed my wives, my children. They killed some of my cows. I ran away when they killed my people. Then I involved myself in the activities of these terrorist groups. Now, I have escaped and back in my community. Will you not accept me as a member of this community?”

The emir replied, “Aka ne (yes, that is it).”

The bandit continued, “You should call your chiefs and bring your people from the bushes and from the village. Anywhere you meet us, advise the people of the community to join hands with the Miyetti Allah association. This land will be peaceful.

“If they make it this way, peace will reign. But to say you will call police and soldiers to Zamfara, this will not bring peace. It will continue to cause more bloodshed.”

The emir replied again, “Aka ne (yes, that is it).”

The bandit said, “Sometimes, you hear that they bombed a place where the bandits are camping. But the next day, the bandits will still come and strike in another place, close to where they bombed.”

The emir said, “We also are not in support of the bombings.”

The bandit continued, “The reason why their bombing will not work is because, before their helicopter comes around, information has already reached us. Before the helicopter leaves any base, the information will reach us and even where it will land. If they bomb any place, they will kill only birds and animals which are there.

“Also on land, soldiers were sent to attack us. But before they come, information has reached us. We know how we will attack them and know all the areas where they will follow. We want you to ban anything vigilantes.

“People are surprised that they use airplanes to attack us but we are just like ants. They can’t see us; it is God that is helping us.”

The emir replied, “Killing human beings is not good. I have heard your grievances and it is a load on me and I will try to unite the people of the community. We will still call you together to deliberate on it. I will try to ban vigilantes in any other place and I will give the feedback to the government.”

Tinubu the silly, old goat still wanted to drag Igbos into their wahala at all costs. See him mentioning Evans and forming history of kidnapping in Nigeria.

Dont mind Tinubu. He let me down with that statement big time! This could have been a silent moment for him.

Moreover it is improper to give a press statement, whatever it is that he will say, at the deceased's home. He should have issued that at Bourdillon. Im dissapointed in my leader on this error. I hope he apologizes and amends with Afenifere.

Odumakin made matter worse with his follow up remark.

nwanyionitsha:
Ogbeni,when did you join ipob?

Aah aah, nwanyi, kedu maka gini? You this girl go turn me to ipob yoot by fire by force. I don enter trouble...

mu2sa2:
What's my biz with emir of kano or Katsina? Go and settle your score with them, not me.

They are your nobles up there. Criminal Emirs!

nwanyionitsha:
. Ipob yoot....

Am i exhibiting piggly-wiggly characteristics? . Nwanyionitsha, you no serious!

Genius100:
You seem to have an inability to comprehend. What the article say and what you are saying are worlds apart. So if Igbo traders are envious of successful Igbo kidnappers, does that mean the kidnappers are traders?

Leave Igbo out of it and come face to face with Yoruba on this issue.

Did El Rufai differentiate when he bragged about reprisal for "any fulani" killed?

A Group Constantly Adapting to the Local Environment

Like other extremist groups such as the Macina Liberation Front, ISGS has exploited grievances of marginalized communities to recruit, especially (though not exclusively) among young Fulani men. Lack of economic opportunities, a sense of diminished social status, and the need for protection against cattle theft all apparently influence the decision to join ISGS. For instance, in the Tillabéri region of Niger, even in the absence of significant financial resources from extremist groups such as ISGS, joining an extremist group is often associated with elevated status. According to a local Fulani leader, “Having weapons gives you a kind of prestige—young people from the villages are very influenced by the young armed bandits who drive around on motorbikes, well dressed and well fed. Young herders are very envious of them, they admire their appearance.”

Members of miyetti allah, fulani herders, are recruited into terrorism like ISGS which is affiliated with ISIS to use Jihad to islamize Nigeria. They find banditry appealing because of the readily available funds to dress well, feed well, ride around on motorbikes, carry guns.

Fulani herdsmen killed Mrs Olakunrin

Fulani herdsmen are shooting and kidnapping people

Happy birthday ma!

Bastardmod, how many threads will you open on same issue concerning same individual? What are you looking for?

BishopMagic:
Because they are majority Christians and did not side with your khalifar Buhari

Who is majority christian, Afenifere?

Thats like saying NURTW is majority muslim because its face is muslim. That will be a miss!

J111333:
Yoruba land has officially been divided between Muslims and Christians. I think the Christians among them have finally realized the supremacy game their Muslim brothers have been playing ably led by Tinubu.
Well it may be late but not too late if they start now and I mean right now.

How so?

wowcatty:
It's because Tinubu is THE Yoruba defender, not one of. You traitor side of Afenifere are bastardds and don't speak for Yoruba as you can see during the elections.

Tinubu is a political leader, not a Yoruba defender.

Even MKO was not a Yoruba defender, much more Tinubu.

Tinubu, MKO, Ige, Akintola....these were political mavericks but not Yoruba defender.

Awo, Fawehinmi, Adesanya, Mrs Ransome Kuti, Gani Adams...these were Yoruba defenders.

What separates the two is first set will sacrifice any Yoruba for their political goal.

The second set will sacrifice themselves for Yoruba's goal.

Ikechu12:
Abeg go sit your useless head somewhere. In as much as I despise Igbo governors, thus far, they are the only ones whom made even a slight step to curb fulani's movement. Although it just for SE for now but I'm sure they will extend their rules to the rest of Igboland soon enough. They aren't out there calling Evans name and shoving their heads up their asses.

Abeg commot my mention with your pollution.

You are preaching Kanu's warnings as if its a treasured wisdom. So i ask you, what did your elders that received his wisdom teachings do beside invite python to help get rid of him? He remains banned because of the so called warning. Use your own medicine and first get healing before healing others. When kanu warnings do you good let us know.

wowcatty:
If that's what it takes to be free, so be it. Yorubaland must be free.

War will not come, fulani is not stewpid to risk Yoruba rising up.

Have you ever known Buhari to respond to a death as fast he did calling and consoling Pa Fasoranti? Within minutes of news breaking he was on phone to speak with the elderman. Presidency had quickly issued a statement. So President himself knew they already stepped on tiger's tail as it is.

Look how Northerners are already gripped with fear, and left and right explanations and "it wasn't us" statements all over the airwaves.

Because they know this is a fvck up. So they will not ever risk getting Yoruba that angered up that we declare armed confrontation.

Even as we speak ACF, the bad elders of North have dispatched contingents to pay homage to Pa Fasoranti.

Let the tiger in its corner...dont rouse it!

Ikechu12:
The rest of these Niggerians should learn how to do their warning to fulani without mentioning Igbos and Biafra war. Igbos are not joining anybody to fight anybody in any war. As far as we are concerned, every one of y'all deserve every shit happening to that shithole. If Fulanis are rampaging your lands and terrorizing una, nah your fault. We focus on our own shit and only our own shit. I have yet to see any igbo leader speaking on Fulanis expansionist act in Igboland by dragging everybody to it.

When Igbos, especially Nnamdi Kanu, were warning you demons of their plans, you demons were screaming bloody murder. Oya e don happen. Abeg kwa, if a war breaks out, Igbos will stand on the side watching y'all niggas fight. Only get involved when any of y'all mofos attack Igboland. As far as we are concerned, all of una are our enemies. Stop mentioning us in una wailing

Its no longer Sunday, stop using Kanu to sermon. Kanu warned you too. What did your leaders do after receiving his warnings? They sold him to python..

So go rest if you dont have good contribution beside useless warnings that your own homeland rejected.

immhotep:
Lzaa please come and see how metaphysical is slowly receiving sense

I have not released my stance on Ibo. But you guys dont know impostors, i know them. When i want to assault Ibo i need to target the authentic one....not a fulani masquerading as ibo.

rahazaqa:
The murder of Funke Olakunrin, daughter of the leader of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti has been the news of the week. Nigerians from different parts have reacted to the killing. While some call it an assination, some call it a random Fulani herdsmen attack while some argued that the killers should not be labelled "Fulani herdsmen" yet since the police have made no statement yet.

It is true that the Herdsmen have reported to be on rampage all over Nigeria recently, from Enugu, to Benue, to Ekiti, to Abia. While some of these these reports are true, some are also false with no evidence which confirm that the atrocities are carried out by Fulani Headsmen. This bring me to this topic, which is a timed bomb waiting to explode. Why criminals disguised as Fulani Herdsmen will now rise in numbers, carry out operations on highway, communities :


1) Since the Herdsmen issue have started, i have not seen or read about the conviction of anyone of them. I have seen few arrest but no conviction, Why?. This is a question everyone need to ask, is the Police, Military and the Judiciary afraid of the Fulani Herdsmen? Is it true that the President is protecting them?. If it continues like this, it will serve as a boost to other criminals to disguise as headsmen, carry out their operation knowing the police is their friend,they can do anything with no confrontation.




2) With the way some people are spreading fake news and report about Herdsmen, tagging Fulani with any criminal activities. This is like a boost for criminals, all they have to do is to disguise as Fulani Headsmen, carry out operations, then what news comes next? "Fulani Herdsmen raids Ijebu Ode Community" " Fulani robs on Aba highway" "Fulani rapes a whole Delta Community". Then the police will start searching for innocent Fulani or Herdsmen and neglect the real criminals.



Using the murder of Funke Olakunrin as a case, the police have not made a statement on the killers, the witnessed also did not mention Fulani Herdsmen as the killer yet but some people have already made the judgment, some even saying some uncouthed words about the whole Fulani tribe. This is uncalled for. Bola Tinubu while reacting, made some statement and i think it is fair, it is the way it is. As confirmed by many people, the Benin-Ore road is said to house different kind of criminals and the killings, kidnapping and illegal cross road did not start today or last week. Let the police and the people concerned do their job. People should not politicize and tribalise this delicate issue.

Armed robbers have homes they return to everyday. They go out and return home like any regular working person the difference is they go out to rob at night. They do not kidnap, they are after valuables. The only thing similar betqeen them and fulani herdsmen is they are also on highway.

Local Kidnappers operate within urban areas not in bush and they do not spray everywhere with bullets. In fact they employ stealth.

So fulani herdsmen will always stand out.

This job was done by fulani herdsmen!

EricBloodAxe:
And after that they'll take enough land as possible from the south west then settle down and happily mass breed almajiris all over the west.

Yeah, we don hear you. You want response from Yoruba attacking Ibo. Then you will reappear in a different monicker and bash Ibo. Thank you we hear...they will breed almajiri in SW. Ose o!

Genius100:
So because the people that committed the crimes are Fulani, they must be herdsmen?

When Igbos commit crime, do we say the perpetrators are traders?

When Yorubas commit crime, do we say the perpetrators are conductors?

Yes! They are fulani herdsmen. Now what?

Genius100:
What an imbe-cile. Do yourself a favor and read the article attached in my original post. It was written by a global world class organization.

Have you heard of cattle rustlers? Those are bandits that attack Fulani herdsmen and steal their cow. Use your brain for once.

Because an Igbo kidnapper has a shop does not mean all kidnappers of Igbo extraction are traders

Reject! Here is study report, also from a world recognized body. Enjoy it.

ddeola:
OPC is still issuing verbal threats when our people are being killed everyday.

Until they take action, nobody will take them serious.

OPC is serious, but we the people are not serious.
When we hear report in news now that OPC entered Ore and wiped out Fulani Yorubas will immediately troop to facebook. twitter, instagram, nairaland and start condemning the attack on innocents.

The many Yorubas already raped, killed, machetted, their livelihoods destroyed....were they attacked because they were guilty? No. They were attacked for their innocence also. So it is fair for every Yoruba raped, killed, maimed, to slaughter and burn 10 fulani and 10 cows. If 10 Yorubas are victims, the counter force will destroy 10x10 on their fulani side.....100 humans and burnt beyond recognition, with 100 cows for village feast. This is balanced!

PaChuckwudi, Thanks for bringing this information here.

I usually do not ask for articles to be posted on front page, not even mine, but Im going to ask for this to be pushed up to the main page and pinned to top in fact.

Obasanjo wasted a lot of opportunities for Yoruba, and for Southerners generally. Im not going to use this thread to bash him but must mention that he was very naive and the outcome of his naivety is part of what we see on ground today. Obasanjo had military leadership, in the African context of a soldier, but his lack of political sagacity was exploited by Northerners to further enshrined their interests in top priority even above Sovereign priorities. So I am dumbfounded that Obasanjo who impulsively surrendered our rights to North is now the same person raising alarm of Northern's push to islamize all. Very surprising.

I pray you all get your Biafra soon so you dont have to share that with Nigeria.
