Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted,
the indifference of those who should have known better and the silence of
the voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for evil
to triumph – His Royal Majesty Haile Selassie 1, Emperor of Ethiopia.
IF there was ever a time to remember the words of Haile Selassie and speak
out against evil this is it. With the abduction of the elder statesman and
June 12 struggle hero, Chief Olu Falae, from his home by a group of Fulani
herdsmen in south western Nigeria it is time for us to seriously consider the
expulsion of all Fulani herdsmen from the southern part of our country.
We thank God and
commend the efforts of the
Inspector-General of the
Nigerian police that Chief
Falae was returned home
safely after a harrowing
three days. Given his
status in Yoruba land, had
this not been so there
would have been
cataclysmic consequences
for the unity of our
country.
It is because we wish to avoid such a scenario that it is important that we
get these marauders and vandals out of our territory as quickly as possible.
This is especially so given the fact that, by Falae’s testimony, it is clear that
the Fulani herdsmen that abducted him were working hand in hand with
Boko Haram.
East Africantse-tse fly
These herdsmen have become the pests of our nation. They are like the East
African tse-tse fly: wherever they go they suck the life blood out of their
hosts and, like the locust, they destroy everything in their path. They are like
leeches: they indulge in a parasitic mode of nutrition and they suck the
blood of the carcass until their victim is left for dead.
Like the Arab supporter of APC, they are only known for the most hideous of
things. This includes terror, intimidation, theft, murder, rape, abduction,
mutilation, the violation of the rights of others, the destruction of the land
and crops of farmers and the destruction of property.
Anyone that doubts this should ask the people of the north central zone
what they have been suffering in the hands of these vagabonds and
vagrants for the last 50 years. This is especially so in Plateau, Benue, Niger,
Kwara, Nassarawa, Taraba and Adamawa states.
Yet up until 20 years ago this was essentially a northern problem and it did
not affect the south. Sadly that has changed. It has now become a national
plague that knows no boundaries and whose poison threatens to consume
us all. In the last few years the Fulani herdsmen have attacked, ravaged and
pillaged many rural communities south of the River Niger and they have
slaughtered and raped thousands of innocent people in the South-South, the
South-East and the South-Western zones of our country.
We recall how, after a
violent clash between
them and some
Yoruba farmers in Oyo
State in 2000, General
Buhari (as he then
was) led a strong
delegation of northern
leaders to see the late
Governor of Oyo State,
Governor Lam Adesina.
On arrival Buhari put
the following question to him: “why are your people killing my people?” This
was a classic case of a Freudian slip. The Bible says ”out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaks”. The general had spoken his mind.
Governor Adesina was shocked with disbelief and he responded by telling
Buhari that he was rather surprised that a former Head of State would refer
to one ethnic group as “his” people whilst referring to another as someone
else’s. He said that this was especially so given the fact that people were
killed on both sides of the divide in what was a sad and unfortunate conflict.
The insensitivity of Buhari to the Yoruba farmers and their plight in the
hands of the Fulani raiders was noted from that moment on. Ever since that
conversation took place the lines have been drawn and the South West has
been on alert.
The abduction of Falae may well have brought things to a head because
today virtually every self-respecting Yoruba man is calling for strong
resistance to these alien cattle-rearers whose criminal activities have led to
nothing but blood, tears and carnage. If the government refuses to stop
them then it is very clear that some communities may end up doing so
themselves.
Yet there is an even more sinister dimension to this problem than most
people care to admit. That dimension is best illustrated by the following
question. Can there be any truth in the assertion that the Fulani herdsmen
are nothing less than the vanguard and covert armed wing of the Fulani
ruling class which has managed to infiltrate the south under the ingenious
guise of selling cows?
Are they sleeper cells of a much bigger army and a much wider cause? Are
they, as Falae has suggested, working hand in hand with Boko Haram? If a
major conflict were to arise would those sleeper cells be activated and
would they commence the wholesale slaughter of the indigenous population
in their host states? As painful as it may appear these are questions that we
must ask.
The fact that the herdsmen demanded for a 100 million naira ransom from
Falae speaks volumes. The question is this: what do mere cattle-rearers
want with 100 million naira? Even more instructive is the fact that when
they were offered two million naira they responded by saying that that
amount would not be enough for Boko Haram.
Given all this, it is clear to me that we must begin to look at the wider
picture. We must accept the ugly reality that there may be more to all this
than meets the eye. This is especially so given the fact that up until the
time of writing this piece not one of Falae’s captors has been apprehended
by the police and they seem to have vanished into thin air.
One wonders what transpired. Were they granted amnesty or are they
ghosts? Can there be any truth in the suggestion that there was some kind
of official collusion in the abduction? Was it an attempt to put Falae, and by
extension the Yoruba, in their place for vigorously supporting the idea of a
national conference?
Is it an attempt to intimidate those from the South West that opposed
President Buhari in the 2015 presidential elections? If so it will not
work. Afenifere, the leading socio-cultural group of the South West of which
Falae is a leading member, and the Yoruba people generally have a way of
rising to the occasion when they are threatened, cheated or persecuted.
History proves that. Worthy of note are the words of Dr. Frederick Fasheun
and Otunba Gani Adams, both leaders of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC)
in this matter. Only the unwise would ignore their counsel.
The question is this: who is pulling the strings from behind the scenes and
who is attempting to test our resolve and test the waters? Whatever the
answer to these questions are one thing remains clear. The days of killing
people with impunity and stripping them of their lands and possessions are
long over.
The Fulani herdsmen may well believe that they have one of their own in the
Villa today but that does not mean that they will get away with their
murderous ways or their sheer impunity. It is most unwise for them to
continue to test the resolve of the people of the south in this way.
I say this because collectively southerners are slow to anger but irresistible
in battle. When pushed to the wall they often indulge in what Dr. Amanze
Obi, the respected columnist for Nigeria’s Sun newspaper, once described as
”southern fury”.
Permit me to conclude this intervention with an interesting and relevant
contribution from the famous British historian, writer and educationalist Dr.
T.R. Batten. He wrote: “The Fulani were at their most influential in
Gobir.Then a dispute broke out between their Imam, Usman Dan Fodio and
Sarkin Gobir Yunfa.
The Fulani rallied behind their leader who encouraged him to defy their
Hausa Chief. He began a jihad and fighting broke out. Thus the Fulani seized
the country by force against the will of those who lived there. The enmity
had nothing to do with religion for among those who fought (against the
Fulani) were many Muslims. It was about the Fulani’s wish to seize power
from the Hausas.”
It follows that the herdsman and those that they represent conquer by
infiltration, assimilation and guile. Those that doubt this should find out
what became of the ancient Hausa kingdoms. May God deliver us from the
vagabonds and vagrants in our midst.

Its very unfortunate that you are not ready to learn, don't you know that Mary, the mother of Jesus was arranged to Joseph at age 9 while her husband was 36.

According to "Oxford Dictionary Bible" Mary {peace be unto her} was 12 year old when she became impregnated. .Muslims are not biased, JESUS is loved and respected by us.

don't put up what u dont know about....u just listed south east states out of hate..why all these nonsense..
oya tell us your own state lets access it..all these tribal bigots thunder go strike una for sleep one day

OdenigboAroli:
What a full load of crap! If I brag about my heritage what did it take away from you if not that you are simply insecure and paranoid. Americans openly brag about their nation and accomplishments yet ,it doesn't make what they boast of lies. And this Igbo unity crap is stupid ,today I still see people calling Anambrarians NDI OGWU EGO AND ILLITERATES. So,take your emotions and shove it down your throat. If my Omanbala pride offends you nigga,jee kwuo udo. I don't take prisoners;The failure of Igboland to develop has no correlation with the unity of her people. If the right man is chosen he will give you what you want. People need to chill the ffuck out what this redundant and over emphasised Igbo bull crap. People mock you not because you aren't united but rather for the failure of your leaders starting with the war to voting people like T.A Orji and Rochas Okorocha who are like logs of wood.
I intentionally didn't mention Imo because I know how they get but I am sure you are happy with reading the tongue lashing cum stereotypes listed of the Omanbalas. If I haven't insulted your people you have no cause to get offended with my giving.

nwanne...hope u know u didnt make sense in this whole right up

Ihuomadinihu:
Mtchewww at noble Culture. Somebody still has this overinflated ego which is driving Igbos apart.
Abeg,which one is my state has a nobel culture?? Smh!
Open a damn thread? So that strangers will come and mock igbo people? Choose your words carefully if you must comment on stuffs like this!
I believe people enjoyed this thread before someone came with ''my own is better than your own''. What sort of nonesense is that?

thats the problem with igbo and thats why they cant be any unity..Anambrarians keep on bragging about everything....what i have noticed is that most Anambrarians that brag are actually the ones who have little or nothing to contribute and will always hide their inferiority complex on their clan..thats so uncalled for.thats why other tribes keep mocking the igbo bc of this silly attitude..is time to change

DocAdray:
Funny thread, stereotypes indeed!
There's beauty in diversity obviously. This topic is just something to laugh over and not to take to heart.
@ OdenigboAroli, whatever made you think that Anambrarians are superior That's why other tribes keep laughing at us over our 'disunity' and boastful attitude. At least pretend to be proud of your Igbo- ness first before shoving your heaven-made Anambra down our throats.

Ndi b'anyi, ekene m unu....

well said.....The Anambra man factor is actually a cause of disunity over the igbo race...they dont know wen and where to brag.sometimes they do it unconsciously.i doubt if igbo will be one again bc they have dashed the unity of igbos by their mere speculations of superiority..is quite unhealthy and thats why other tribes despise the igbo...God help us all

ExInferis:
Oh, ive come across such people. They can happen to be among the groupies too, and are full of venom. One little punk even called me poor simply because i condemn the lies and hype behind the excess display of wealth and consumerism by the so-called celebs. Im yet to hear any ground-shaking single or blockbuster movie, but the stars are busy instagramming photos of shoes, bags, phones, tattoos, cars, toilets, vacations, babies, bikinis, stretchmarks, nose hair, and bleached skin.

And to their fans, THIS is entertainment, THIS is what they paid for.

smh.

I've got a gaddamn opinion and im going to say it, screw the drooling groupies and crazies.

thats what we've got among Nigerians....mediocrity..instead of overhauling the whole entertainment industry and let those foreigners find their way to nijja...that can even earn Nigeria cool cash via the entertainment sector but our celebs prefer showing Nigerian crazy things while if they get to abroad they are are treated less...thats downgrading u know

ExInferis:
Ive never seen entertainers as eager for US/Europe recognition as Nigerian artistes. You'd never hear of any other nation's stars always running to US/UK/GErmany to give themselves awards or perform to the immigrant community or desperately seek to meet the indigenous celebs just so their fawning fans can tear their hair out in frenzied hero-worship.

its shameful. you dont need to force your way into Jay Z or Chris Brown's lives to be validated as a talent.

Jim Iyke is busy running to and fro in Atlanta looking for movie deals, P Square is in New York hoping to perform with Jay Z, Davido is in London launching his Nigerian-oriented album.

And the funny thing is, on an international scale, these nonentities are talentless hacks.

u are damn right....this is the bitter truth but some fit misunderstand it as hate

this is so so educating.....keep it up @op....pictures speaking louder than write ups

Please travel around Nigeria more before you comment, garbage is a function of population hence most small cities in Nigeria are clean just like not all parts of this cities you put up are spotless.
Jos, Zaria, Uyo just to mention a few i can add to your "clean" list
And in Enugu, Abakpa, Ogui and that OldPark area are so not clean so its not about taking shots in Independence layout please.

If this is a curse, I reject it on behalf of your parents

You want a man to be with you and still pregnate 2 other women 5times with you always looking over your shoulders to ensure he doesn't have more.

A night's birthday party with beautiful pictures is not enough to tell you the 'love' Tu baba has for Annie.

Infact, if he loved her, he will not have those extra kids


Happy Birthday to 2Baba. Many more years of God's blessings.

at least someone with sense has made a reasonable comment

freecocoa:
You have a point honestly, Anambrarians discriminate even amongst themselves, It took a lot of talk, quarrel, fight and lecture before my cousin from Awka could marry his wife form Idemili, only to later realise her parents initially also refused, reason being "Awka is far" like wtf? Awka far from idemili? I just weak.

lolz......u're head dey there....thats the kind of thing we see amongst us.so we just need to start tolerating ourselves first b4 we accuse the whites.though not supporting racism on blacks.
