Form this headline alone, you will reason how an average Southerner thinks. Why will you ask such question? . If you can as well answer what is your people doing across the length and breadth of the North? Then you can simply answer this one. My respect for some southerners has reduced to minimal because when I read some comments they sound like from someone that just know how to write in English with out actually going to school(which is common there).

Now , just to be certain here...

1. I am not here to justify cattle herders killing farmers. Like I have said, the fulanis need to go to the police, not to their weapons, if they got issues with other people.

2. I am also not here to justify farmers killing cattle herders, or killing their cows.

3. I have advocated for solutions like rail travel, ranches in the North, and so forth to reduce cattle herding. And like I have said many times, the era of moving around with cows is over. Too many people, too limited land.


Now on to the point.


1. Yes, people travel long distances to hunt. Like they have been doing so for over 100 years. The whites for example travel to countries like South Africa and Zim and even Kenya to do big game hunting. Infact it is a source of income for these countries. South Africa even effing advertises itself as a large hunting ground, and have done so for decades.

2. Yes, they were hunters. There is even a photo of them showing off the game they hunted before they headed out on the ill fated trip.


3. Yes, even some people from other parts of the country travel long distances to hunt. I even recall someone my parents were acquaited with travelling some distance to do some hunting, and the guy was not a fulani or awusa.

4. WIldlife in the North is falling drastically. I mean, in the 1950's one could see wildlife along major roads. Now , you can't. It's easier in the South, and even then, wildlife is falling.


Now i see this as the result of a lot of failures....here is what would have prevented this nonsense from happening

1. People should go to the police for any law issues. Nigerians...not just Fulanis, don't like going to the cops. They want to do things by themselves.

2. We really need to stop all this roaming around with cows ,people. Better rail system will transport more cows than trucks or walking around would.

3. Hunting permits. HUNTING PERMITS, and better regulation of forest and game with allocation of guides, would HELP A LOT WITH THIS ISSUE.

4. And really we should stop this jungle justice of a thing. Let's be honest, a lot of Northerners and Southerners have died from jungle justice....and more often than not, it is their fellow tribesmen that have killed them. Yes, remember Aluu 4 . Who killed them? Have their killers been brought to justice? Who killed that teacher in Bauchi for desercrating the koran allegedly. Up till now, nothing. We too dey like jungle justice. Instead of heading to the cops or the law.

5. The law needs to be reformed. Corruption and a host of other issues are wrecking it. That';s why Nigerians prefer jungle justice...it is because the law sometimes is compromised.

6. And like I have said many times, you cannot police a country of 220 million people on a budget of 1 billion dollars. When you need something like 50-70 billion dollars annually.


Like I said, anyone accusing me of anything would be reported. Thanks.

I said what I said.

I am only telling you to do what your politicians are already doing. No hard feelings.

Notfogotten:
The recent appreciation of Naira is not sustainable.

It is largely because of remittances from those living abroad for the festive season.

It is not as a result of any of your government policies.

This is the time to buy. What is playing out now happened last year and last 2 years.

Buy now and make massive profit by February 2025. If you know you know

davodyguy:
Why this kind of mentality?

So for millions that can't afford to take their kids out of Nigeria can't give best gifts in 2025?

mymadam:
🤭 You're essentially 💯 correct, but.... try make u dey a bit patriotic nau, just a bit. No dey shout. Na beg I dey beg u o 😂

malali:
This is the kind of case the law enforcement should sweep in and drag this lawmaker, till all the other law makers have sense from this incidence.
He should be suspended by his party and removed from committees in the house of rep, till he clears his name and issues a public apology to the bolt driver.
