Am tired of these old politicians recycling themselves for every position , they will also claim they are like enemies on social media and newspaper but if any of them is celebrating anything , you will all see all of them together smiling.

Dankwambo is not an old recycled politician. He is in his 50's.
He also achieved tremendously much as the governor of Gombe. The entire Gombe city is supplied pipe borne water through a functional state water system. Where else do you get such in Nigeria?

In Islam, women are not owned by their families and should not be traded with. If bride price is paid to the bride's family, then I think that makes her no difference with a goat being sold in the market.

In Islam? Is Islam your culture? What happened to Hausa culture?
Black man copying Arabic culture calling it islamic culture.

I see a female winning this year's bbnaija but i don't know who it is.

Impossible. There is no female in the house as loved as Teddy A and Miracle. Both of them obviously have the highest voting base.

The ijaws are still threatening to blow up oil installation in Urhobo land if the government dont give to their demand.

Aladja people are not asking much, don't just take what belongs to them.

Na wa o. What intimidation! And what is their demand pls?

Efewestern:
The Crisis is not about Ogbe-ijoh, Our concern is the continuous encroachment of aladja land by others.

I know. I live in Warri. You were the one who brought in the historical story of Ogbe-ijoh here.

Apparently Aladja has been peaceful for sometime now or are they still fighting? And how come Udu people even let Ijaws have so much hold and encroach their land?

Efewestern:
We are calling on the federal government and the state Government to please look into this issue and ensure further lives and properties are not lost .

If Udu people really owned Ogbe-Ijaw. Why wasn't the name really in Urhobo language?

All these claims and counter claims. Ijaws will never accept that. Only a concluded court case can suffice.

killing cows alone is just xoxo annoying mtchew

Fulanis value their cows more than their wives and children. Don't you know?

Interesting

What about the marriages between Igbos and Yorubas which happens every weekend?

Yorubas and Igbos to a large extent share same values for liberalism, freedom, equality, education, progress and westernization. All of these which are against fulani culture.

iamdannyfc:
and you belive yoruba are the type that will say fulani first b4 yoruba?
I hope you know how many oba's we have
i hope you know how many elites we have
i hope you know how many powerful people we have
i hope you know how we cherich the yoruba culture,history and its people

I very well know this and I admire this about the yorubas.

...But one question, how come with all the educated and cultural cherishing yoruba people in Kwara state (Kwara south especially).
How come only the Saraki family and few other Ilorin elites rule the entire Kwara state like a private family business? And promote Fulani interests in the state?

afroniger:
You cannot compare Ilorin to any other town or city in Oyo or anywhere else in Yorubaland. What happened then CANNOT happen again today. Ilorin was a rebel town that had cut itself off from Oyo since the time of Afonja, this was the reason why it eventually became an emirate. Even in Kwara of today (and indeed in the entire Yorubaland), Ilorin is the only Yoruba town/city with an emirate, while the rest have Obas. If it were possible, the emirate would have long since expanded into other Yoruba towns in the state but that has not happened because the Yoruba clans collectively fought against Ilorin expansionist ambitions even as far back as then, and have since rejected the emirate system, in spite of having a significant muslim population. Oyos are predominantly Muslims but they are also very steeped in Yoruba traditional religion and culture, which makes it practically impossible for them to welcome an emirate system that will seek to obliterate their cultural practices and identity.

I'm sorry if you must have miscontrued my comment. I am not suggesting that Yoruba land will accept emirates or become emirates.

I am just talking about how a gradual penetration and apologistic tendencies in respect to the fulanis on the part of yoruba elites could be easily exploited by the fulanis if this elite intermarriage continues.

You should know the power elites wield in our part of the world. A penetration into the elite class in our part of the world can have very terrible consequences on the masses, irrespective of the opinion of the masses.

With all the millions of educated yorubas from Kwara state. Saraki family and other Ilorin elites are still controlling the state like a private estate.

iamdannyfc:
did you thinks fulani are in ilorin bcus they married the elite?
Or did you thinks fulani are the only one that fought the yorubas to grab hold of ilorin?
If any is yes, then you are mistaken

Of course they are not in Ilorin cos of intermarriage, but they are holding Ilorin down and maitainning the status quo with intermarriage to a large extent.

COdeGenesis:
A won feminist. The only thing I see there is the wayward way his son will be raised compared to the good way his neice is being raised. The niece will be a better person compared to the son.

You are not necessarily correct.
Sometimes, people who are allowed to see the bad sides and make mistakes often become better people after learning from their mistakes. Afterall, experience is the greatest teacher as they say.

ItsTutsi:
ur assertation is very pathetic and delusional to say the least,primitive half-baked rhetorics meant to steer e-war among tribal bigots

u are pained and bitter,ur desperation and hypocritical attempt to seem concern is dead on arrival..delusional sociopath,u should deal with ur insecurity before dragging others into it..did the Yoruba complain?!?

u said "fulanis are smart by marrying Yoruba elites" pls can u state 3 other marriages apart from this one between fulani and Yoruba?

and why is it okay for other tribes to get married to Yoruba but an offence for a fulani to do the same?

Fulani man, you are angry that I am exposing the evils and hypocrisy of your people and their expansionist agenda right?

Expect more from me.

afroniger:
I think your background and environment is the cause of such suspicion, which is understandable, but you are taking it too far. Oyo people are arguably the most Yoruba conscious and militant clan of the race, and it is close to impossible for the Alaafin, Olubadan, and other Oyo Obas to tolerate emirate on Oyo soil. It is too late for such to happen. But really if we all start to assume this kind of thinking and posture, na to dey pray say make the marriage break be dat. . And hostility towards each other will become the order of the day. But as long as Nigeria remains one this sort of intertribal relationships will be occurring from time to time.

Yes I fully understand your point about Oyo people.

But what about Ilorin? Were they not a branch of Oyo people? What is the reality there today?

Majority of the Ilorin elite yoruba families are half fulani by blood. One reason why they can be hardly against fulani ever.

Perhaps you should hear from an Ilorin man.
Read the thread below

https://www.nairaland.com/4338863/plan-install-yoruba-oba-ilorin

Throwback:
Stop beating around.

You raised a critical point of possible conflict between 2 tribes when the loyalties of the leader is divided.

I have given you an instance where an immigrant tribe considered itself to important to be disturbed by the invitation of the king.

It was in this same state that a Yoruba governor with an Igbo wife assumed power. So if you fear for the future of Oyo state that a young Ajimobi with a Fulani wife might be governor in future, why do you not fear for the current reality of a Yoruba man with an Igbo first lady, in an Ondo state where Igbo's have proven to be a nuisance that had to be resolved?

I am not beating around the bush cos I gave you examples didn't I?

I have never seen a previous case where an Igbo wife or first lady manipulates a leader to favour her people in another land. ....But Nasarawa state is a practical example of how a fulani 1st lady favours her people. I also used the Hausa elites as an example.
Find out if what I am saying is wrong or not.

Fulanis have proven times without number to be a sneaky and manipulative bunch.

Perhaps you should read this thread below and see the way your fellow Ilorin yoruba man is emphasizing on the intermarriage btw his people and the fulanis in Ilorin as a reason why his people can never wrestle away power from fulanis in Ilorin by force.

afroniger:
Damn dude. This your paranoia is off the chain. You need to get a life for real. All this just because a Yoruba man is marrying a Fulani woman?? Na wah for you o.

Lol Yeah, it seems I am taking it too far. This is cos I have witnessed practical aspects of it, being from the north.

Ask yourself. How many fulani women marry common yoruba men? Why is it an elite thing?

EmagNig:
okay..but quite archaic...who uses wood to cook

Sorry but people like you are probably children of elites and rich people who think that the entire Nigeria is like your estate in Lekki or Maitama

Nigeria still has about 80 million people living in rural areas and firewood is their major source of cooking fuel.

Throwback:
Why didn't you type this when Ondo state governor assumed office with an Igbo wife as first lady.

Or have you forgotten that the former governor Mimiko with a Yoruba wife, did not even raise an eyelid when the foolish Eze Ndigbo of Akure was flogged mercilessly by the Deji of Akure palace guards and youths, for daring to insult the king and appointing Igbo chiefs for Akure.

What would have happened if Governor Akeredolu was governor then with an Igbo first lady?

I cannot speak for the Igbos, but I know that they are not as power drunk as the fulanis and certainly do not have agendas to dominate others like the fulanis.

Fulanis are oppressing Hausas in their own land today, but Hausas will never do anything about it cos most Hausa elites have fulani wives and mothers.

This act of intermarriage is an ancient strategy used by kingdoms to cement ties and everlasting bonds with one another.

Check the history of Sudan (the Nubians) how they were heavily islamized & arabized today. It was through intermarriage to a lot of Arab women. The Arabs clearly used this intermarriage strategy after they failed to conquer Sudan in war. Did they succeed at the end? Of course!

FlyoruB:
You are talking rubbish. The governor is just about to complete his second term in office and recently went hard on the herdsmen in Oyo, even going as far as citing his son's impending marriage to a Fulani as not enough justification to allow herdsmen criminality in the state. Besides, Oyo people have a long history of not taking crap from Fulani criminals posing as herdsmen.

It does not start at once does it?

NaijaMutant:
With all this your grammar, kindly show us what you've been able to produce with it.


I bet you the producer doesn't even know the meaning of thermodynamics

Lol. I absolutely love this comment of yours.

Fulanis are now intermarrying their way into the elites of Yoruba land just like they did with Hausas and have been doing in Ilorin.

Very soon it will now be Fulani-Yoruba as one ethnic group of the South-west.

Now imagine if this Ajimobi's son becomes the governor of Oyo state tomorrow and fulani herdsmen started attacking Oyo state. Do you think he will be hard on the fulani herdsmen? Hell NO! He will never want to hurt his wife's people. ... Infact it will start from now. Watch how Gov Ajimobi will start pampering fulani herdsmen in Oyo state. Fulani herdsmen are now 1st inlaws of Oyo state

Exactly what is happening in Nasarawa, no matter how fulanis kill Nasarawa indigenes, Al-Makura is never disturbed. His wife and first lady of the state is a fulani woman and he will never want to hurt his wife's people.

Fulanis are very smart people. Marry into the elite class of a place and gain very strong influence there.

angels09:
Can you mention some of these tribes

Apart from Mambilla in Taraba, you have the Jukuns & Mumuyes. Fulanis hardly mess with these tribes in Taraba Cos the repercussions would be deadly.

In Bauchi, you have the Sayawa who completely cleansed out every single Hausa fulani or muslim from Tafawa Balewa town. Till date, no mosque can be built in that town.

In Plateau, you have the Ngas and the Tarok. Fulanis cannot mess with both tribes

In Southern Kaduna, you have the Jaba, the Kataf, Bajju and Adara people etc.

Fulanis only succeed in attacks in Plateau, Taraba and Southern Kaduna because they pick on the weaker tribes alone. And since there is no very strong form of ethnic solidarity among the tribes, the stronger ones do not defend the weaker ones.

doctokwus:
Then you don't know much about the Mambilla people.
Soldiers going to arrest or worse still indiscriminately kill them would be one of the worst mistakes this government will make,amongst the countless others they have made.
You may kill them,but they ain't scared of death nor do they forgive whoever caused the massacre of their kinsmen.
There are some tribes up north that are more fearless and brutal than the Fulanis,the only difference is that they usually don't kill indiscriminately and usually only show their nature when in defence or on revenge missions,unlike the Fulanis that kill senselessly.
No death though is justifiable.

This is what most southerners do not know.

There are some northern /middlebelt tribes that are crazier than the fulanis when it comes to killings. Another difference is that these tribes are smaller, so the damage they can create is not going to be too widespread.

I just dey look Hausa fulani people. ... Let them keep on persecuting northern minorities. .. By the time all the northern minorities will unite themselves from Taraba to Plateau to Southern Kaduna to Adamawa and Benue ehn.... Maybe there will be another civil war where the entire north will be reduced to ashes. Then southerners will come over to reap the spoils.
This is what Hausa fulani people want. And they will get it.

Germandude:
Don't understand,the manbilla people are from what religion. If they are Muslims, it is a win win for Allah.

Mambilla people just like most Taraba indigenes are christians na. Just that Mambilla people are like the most fearless tribe of northern christians. Their leaders are always at their side, sponsoring them and ready to die for them.

eneojoedu:
with the way fulani's kill innocent people as if its their destiny to kill, I tend to have less pity on them when they are being killed too..how wish benue people can be like this mabilla people, fulani's would have been the ones preaching peace..

Seriously take it from me. Tivs are like the most foolish and weakest group I've ever seen. They are just many for nothing. They have many millionaires and control the Benue state govt. Yet they cannot do anything for their people.

Mambilla people are just one small tribe in Sardauna LGA of Taraba State, yet see how they are treating fulani Bleep up. ... That tribe ehn, their leaders and very selfless and ruthless. I wish all middlebelt tribes would be like these Mambilla people.

izospindle:
this manbila people are deadly thats one of the worst ways to kill someone cutting the veils in his heals you will die painfully slow

Seriously, these Mambilla people are the most fearless tribe in the middlebelt. Gosh, only them seem to know how to treat Fulani fuckup big time.

ollah2:
An average person is dumb, an average Nigerian is dumber, an average religious Nigerian is the dumbest. You read through the comments here and wonder why hate is imbibed in the minds of the Christians.

Some of them know the damn truth about Syria issues but they wouldn't admit it. They so much hate Muslims and Islam for no just cause.

Islam is the cause yet the attached says otherwise. Islam is the cause yet the US are on Syria's soil ILLEGALLY. Islam is the cause yet the US arms Al Nusra front called "moderate rebels when we know they are terrorist in disguise.

The simple reason for all this is because, they want Assad to step down or be their puppet.

I guess the war in Yemen between Saudi Arabia & Iran forces is also caused by christians too right?

A religion that forbids people from thinking with their brains. Tufiakwa!

MDsambo:
Because Christian nations hate to see Muslims in large number so they always invade their nations and when they (muslims) try to defend their lands they'll tag them terrorists.

What you are saying here is rubbish.

Indonesia is the largest muslim country on earth. Why is it relatively peaceful? Why have christian nations not attacked it?

This is simply because Indonesian muslims are very very liberal and secular muslims while arab muslims on the other hand usually tend to be extremist.

Look at the muslim countries of Central Asia, can't you see how peaceful they are? This is because they are very liberal and secular muslims. Most of their women do not even wear hijab.

ClumsyFlimsy:
Wow... God bless you middle belters. It's time you guys stand up and smell the coffee. The real North despises you people
Time you guys stand and fight for your right and your people. You guys are neither arewa nor nyammiri . Kudos

cc Nowenuse

We have been doing so, but I think the problem with our people is discontinuity. If you need something, you gotta fight for it till you get it.

In 1956, the United Middlebelt Congress told the willinks commission that our people needed a new region to be carved out of the north, the petition was made, but it was declined by the British.

After that. You had the Tiv riots in 1964 against Northern rule and identity.

After Yakubu Gowon created the 1st 12 states, and Benue-Plateau became independent from the northern region and now enjoyed their autonomy. The cry for middlebelt somehow ended. Not until Babangida introduced this North-central trash. It has always been off and on.

Pedophile?
She's older than that age, don't mind the bloggers.
But, I heard that Indians hate blacks and even dark skinned Indians face racism.

The hatred is completely irrelevant when you have the right amount of cash go give out.

Besides, Karnataka state is in Southern India and most of them there are dark skinned.
It is the northern Indians who are mostly light skinned that discriminate the darker southern Indians and Africans.

blackpanda:
Igbos so much love to play the victim card sha. There is no tribe in nigeria that hasnt suffered. No tribe is enjoying. We all have a common enemy: corruption and greed.

No! Hausa fulani are the major problem of this country.
