buckeyemedia: Speaking to his people which includes you, or are you an Oyibo man on Nairaland? Simple message for docile people like you fight back,?mind over matter, a few people cannot hold the majority to ransom,?by your words it is clear a timid man like you cannot join the Army to even defend his family, but will be the first person on the internet to be making noise?
If I am fighting back, it won't just be against those Bandits but this Nigerian government that has lead us here, not just Buhari (His Predecessor brought us here anyway) but the entire dissolution of this Nigerian system that has brought us here. When a government can't even keep up its most basic function of protection of life and property then secession is a duty, not an option.
So the guy in the video says many Fulani have been attacked to be evicted from Ebonyi and their houses burnt and one even had his mother then father killed during two separate instances of the burnings.
So Fulani met Buhari to call for his permission to invade and that Buhari even cried when they told him the story but he refused.
In 0:38 he supports the claim that many in the army supports Fulani Herdsmen attacks.
1:05 says they met Buhari to officiate the attack but he refused. Which supports claims that Buhari is their leader.
I know this is just the claims of a probably not well educated Fulani man but it isn't coming from nowhere. This is at least the Belief of many Fulani.
How can you be letting this happen in your own homeland.
Anyhow. Those still wondering why upon IPOB and ESN being labelled "terrorists" by government, they still recurve wide support. Because they are fighting the even worse terrorists that are slowly conquering South while government does nothing.
And if you are still wondering why Southerners can this a Fulani government, what would you call that government that ignores years of Fulani killings but the moment the locals fight back, the government starts responding with "let there be peace" bullshit.
Early January, my cousin was scheduled to do his traditional marriage ceremony at his inlaws place in a backwoods village of Uzzam in Akpugo Nkanu-West Local Govt of Enugwu state.
Two days to the occasion, my cousin pleaded that I follow him to go to his would-be inlaws place so he would see the level of preparations on ground prior to his occasion and also get to know the route to his inlaws place as the previous meetings he had with the parents of his wife took place in township where they reside. We drove from Anambra to Enugwu, seeking directions from locals, and constant calls to our inlaws for directions, we were able to navigate to the Uzzam village after about 5hrs drive. A typical local but serene village. Warmly welcomed by our inlaw(the father of our bride to be) an average successful business man in his fifties, in his 4 bedrooms flat building, one of the few modern houses we saw around..
Seated on plastic chairs under a tree shade, we discussed on the arrangements for the occasion at hand, shortly as our discussions was ongoing, over fifty cows swarmed the compound, grazing every green plant on sight, stampeding and raising dust, in astonishement, I asked our inlaw why the herders were charging through his compound with their cows, he hesitated with a smirk-smile on his face, and before he could mutter any explanation, as the herds of cow continued in their rowdy march in and around the house, raising dust and picking on anything they found eatable around, one of the herders picked a bamboo stick by the corner of the house and started plucking coconut from a coconut tree in the compound. I asked our inlaw again what was going on, and with the sober smile on his face, he pleaded that we should just bear with him, that what we were witnessing was what they see always & have come to accept as their reality; asked why he wouldn’t talk to the herders and caution them on such brazen invasion of his compound, he told me that he wouldn’t dare. I was like what? �. He said he won’t and he couldn’t do anything, that should he do or say anything that angered the herders, the trouble it will generate for him & his family & even the villagers would be unimaginable. Bizzare! Isn’t it? He went on to tell us tales on how the herders can be troublesome, fight & kill whenever they’re provoked or their herds dispersed by any villager for any reason. That the only way to ensure peace in the community is to allow the herdsmen do whatever they wish along the line of grazing their cows.
Our inlaw told many scary tales or terror, trepidation and total subjugation they live in’ in their land. In a farm not far from his compound, he told us how the villagers recovered the dead body of a woman that went to farm and was matcheted to death, that suspicion had it that the woman was killed by herdsmen, the village youths was said to have mobilized and headed to their bushes where headers are camped, and upon reaching their camps, were welcomed with heavy warning gunshots that they had to scamper for safety back to their houses. Asked why they don’t report such incident to the police, or other security agencies that can handle such situation; was told that severally they’ve written petitions to the police in Enugu town as there was no single presence of police around the village nor that of any other security agency and all their reports and petitions were not attended to, our inlaw told us that at a point few years ago, the Fulani herders imposed security fee on the villagers that they must pay before they can farm and have their farm land spaces not grazed on, he told us unequivocally that his only hope in particular and the general hope of the villagers who are informed; hope of ever getting liberation in their land now lies on the news & rumours of a certain security network that was formed by Nnamdi Kanu which he heard is specialized on ridding bushes in the eastern parts of the country of criminal herdmens which have been terrorizing indigenous land owners, that he prays and hopes that the security outfit will remember them & come to their aid.
After these many horror tales & the confounded experience we just had there in his compound, I told my cousin we needed to start plotting our way back to Anambra so we leave that environment before nightfall. I’m not a man given to fear, but the experience is worthy enough heighten safety concerns. What if the son of man is “adult-napped” (not kidnapped)because there are people you can’t just kidnap as any encounter with them will prove to you that they’re adults..� �
In the next two days, we made some security arrangements from Anambra & headed to our inlaws’ for the traditional marriage ceremony, there was yet another invasion of the ceremony by about five young Fulani boys. Being a big occasion, nobody had time to seek for the identity of any guest, but something happened; it was during the sacred tradition of dowry payment, where elders from my side & the elders from our inlaws side were called to the back of the house, seated in a secluded corner with jars of palm wine and colanuts, negotiating dowry (bride price) payment, that a young lad of about 25yrs invaded the circle & went straight to a jar of palm wine to pour drink for himself, everyone hushed & shouted at him but he remained adamant, with abnormal guess like someone heavily in drugs ( he sure was high on substance) I inquired whom the young man was & wether he had some mental challenges, only to be informed that he was a Fulani boy who came around from the bush for the occasion, and the attitude he was exhibiting was exactly how they behave around the community, I, including the elders from my place became livid and demanded he be thrown out from the gathering for interrupting our program but surprisingly, the indigenous elders (our hosts and inlaws) pleaded with us to take things easy, lest the boy became angry & went to invite his brothers for a fight & the occasion might turn to something else.. They managed & persuaded the young dude, appeased him with another cup of palm wine sourced from elsewhere aside the one detailed for dowry payment before he could leave. This kind of brazen arrogant interruption by the young Fulani dudes continued throughout the occasion, some even captured on video coverage, and they were all tolerated for the sake of peace & fear of the violence they were said to be able to unleash when provoked.
Never in my life time have I ever seen nor imagined that I will see a people living in complete subjugation, trepidation and fearful agony in their own land & family houses. Both I and my elders & guests from my side that experienced these were flabbergasted, sober, sad and pitiful for our inlaws as we concluded the occasion and were leaving. The experience was the sole topic of discussion as our convoy headed back to our abode.
Obviously if they are human, most of them would be good people but it doesn't really matter in my book to the problem that their community empowers and defends killers.
post=98686737: We wonder when Fulani Herdsmen GRAND LIFE PATRON will open his mouth to say something about his members.
He was so happy to be conferred on the title as their Grand Commander for as long as he lives. A country filled with Hypocrites. Just imagine if it was PMB that was endorsed like this, Internet no go rest again. Frustrated fraudsters and hypocrites everywhere.
I mean, I kinda agree but you also have to put into context that in Jona's time, when he was running for president, we didn't have this issue, so being endorsed by Miyetti Allah doesn't raise any red flags.
But now that we have this issue with Herdsmen, even if they are Southerner, being endorsed by Miyetti Allah is the issue.
johnkey: they are stupid and useless, where were they when the people were being killed by those buhari people they are now making one stupid statement now, enemy of the people. i swear if i was ibo i would do anything to join esn and fight for my people and won't mind fighting for biafra cos this naija don spoil finish it's irredeemable. i wish we had something like that here in the west not those useless amotekun that is for politicians. i hate nigeria politicians and security agents with passion i wish say i fit make bomb i swear i will bomb all their stupid upcoming campaigns because some stupid idiots will still support these useless politicians. kudos to NMK
MrColdsweat: Stop embarrassing yourself. Money is not natural. Man created Money. Everything you need to survive is abundant in nature.
I do not want to deviate with you.
My point is, women, men and animals are all born naked. Because men are comfortable in their slavish laws, men should not expect women to remain slaves to the laws like men. They should not condemn women for going against moral laws.
Women are enjoying their freedom because they have gone against the definition of "women", a definition imposed on them by men, and they have offered men the chance to enjoy freedom. But men cannot imagine being equal to women because it is part of the laws of men.(man is the head of the family, man must protect women etc)
Tell me, asides pride, what would men lose if women eventually eliminate bride price?
Men must not only stop condemning women, men must also emulate women and go against the traditional definition of " man"(a slave), so that he can be free and live longer.
Money was created by a natural creature (Man) pursuing a natural instinct (drive for prosperity) thus I say it is natural. Are Ant Hills and Beaver Dams not natural now?
Christianity is usually used as a prime example of those "slavish" laws and according to Tacitus, in the first century it was "a religion of Women and Slaves", women consistently rank more for Church attendance than men and so on. Obviously their men aren't forcing them into it and they are conforming to so called "slavish" laws by themselves.
So the the claim that only men go by those "slavish" laws is false in my book.
Perfect. You see the reciprocality of these laws right? Man must provide for Family, thus man is head of family. Haven't u seen NG marriages where the woman provides and is in practice the head?
Same applies to woman. Woman takes care of House, Woman is protected and provided for by man.
These aren't men imposing laws on women, these are practical, reciprocal and stndardized answers to questions of social organization. Men get the benefit of power and women get the benefit of security in most of these agreements because it is the one that optimizes their biological abilities and limitations.
Obviously both Men and Women would like both Security and Power but you can't have your cake and eat it too.
The father not getting some good insert of capital. The Father not getting some more evidence that yes, this man can provide.
Yeah, I and many priests am all for men emulating the traditional stereotype of goo woman and not sleep around.
Sammiel: Why not focus on the message and spare the messenger? Watching it to his satisfaction still doesn't change the fact that the actors of the devilish challenge need to be cautioned. Besides, he is an ordained priest and as such he has to do what he was called to do - Preach the truth!
Abeg, the guy you responded to is just looking for excuse to justify his debaucherous life style
MrColdsweat: Only human societies. Human societies have punishments for murder because of man's moral laws. In the true state of nature, there is no punishment for murder.
Tell me, what is the punishment for the Lion for eating a sheep?
Let me end it here.
Man is the symbol of culture/society. Woman is the symbol of nature.
Society tamed nature for centuries. But nature is fighting back.
Stop judging women for going naked. You are born naked and unclothedness is natural. You chose to create laws to force yourself to wear clothes. Women had every right to take off their clothes. Afterall, they did not create those laws with you.
Stop judging women for using their bodies anyhow they want. Stop bothering yourself with what they do with their pussies. You see how the dogs, chickens, and other animals Bleep around and reproduce? Why don't you get mad at them? Can't you see that you are wired like them to constantly reproduce and fill the earth?
The purposes of art, are appreciation and perfection. Perfection is inhuman. But you can appreciate. Stop condemning women and start appreciating them.
When you look at your mother, do you ever think of the numerous men she's slept with in this life? Even if your mother has slept with numerous men, does it stop you from loving her?
Why bother yourself with the number of men other women have slept with?
Men must stop insisting on their laws and start appreciating nature. Start appreciating women. They are nature in human form.
I am not some animal, I am Human, the greatest if all Beasts and the Beast with the spirit of God in it.
Man is as natural as anything else included in "nature".
And actually this whole "stop judging" is unnatural. Humans are highly social creature, isolation is one of the worst punishments to us and Judging is part of the process of social interaction. So it is my and others natural right to mold the social interaction patterns of one another.
Perfection being inhuman is no reason not to strive towards it. It are already like children of God by having God in us why shouldn't we devote our lives to strive away from the imperfection of Beasts to the Perfection of Gods.
She hasn't slept with much, she's as Fundie from a young age but the rest of your statement is correct.
Stop acting like women didn't input into the laws of society. They did, they did alot and it is a constant pattern we see. Igbo societies literally had parallel organizations for women, the works of female saint and Empress Theodora influenced the secular and ecclesiastical laws of Europe and the Harem of the Sultan had ran Sultanates and Caliphates for different times.
MrColdsweat: Good and bad are subjective. This is fact and not debatable.
Every society has heavy punishments for Murder, what those societies interprete as heavy only vary because of their different historic and current material conditions.
And that is just one.
Why else do you think people don't just immediately start fighting each other when they encounter new people and can actually rudimentally interact.
MrColdsweat: Prosperity is also another mental fabrication.
You created money, business, education etc to escape nature and to pretend about living a meaningful and purposeful life.
Mam created society because he wanted order. He was tired of the wild. He was tired of constantly facing wild animals. He was tired of fighting his fellow men over sex.
He then cleared the bushes and put animals in cages. Is this what God wants for this earth? Man has taken the freewill God gave to animals. Is this what you call prosperity?
The very fact that just about every society in the world has gravitated Historically and recently towards so called "mental fabrications" of money, business and education is evidence of its reality. If it was just a "mental frabrication" then what people consider properity and go after would be highly variable.
And the uniting feature of these is increased Energy, Variety and good availability and variety in to total and per input effort, as well as security, of course. The drive towards these are as natural as living in the bush and the main reason why early man didn't immediately go for it was that the barriers of going from Hunter-Gatherer to town dwellers was very high.
The moment population and climactic pressures increased the barriers to remaining Hunter-Gatherer, Man became a town dweller. The same drives that told him to be a Hunter-Gatherer in bountiful nature, told him to become an agrarian town dweller in desertified river vallies.
So in my view as either outcome is the result of man's nature with the only major difference being different environmental conditions (initially purely nature but more and more man influneced as well), either is as "natural as the other".
And I don't see animals having any freewill. Even Human freewill is more limited than we like to admit.
Originalsly: No doubt... sexual immorality is nothing new.... but wayyy more exposed now thanks to social media. But as a Catholic Priest.... he does not have the moral high ground to speak out on trending sexual matters. He need to clean his house first.... homosexuality and pedophilia within the Catholic church.... that should be his priority. Maybe he lost his bf to a woman... so he is lashing out... just maybe.
If we are expected to be morally perfect before criticizing anything, then nobody will be able to criticize anything.
And while the Catholic Church's performance is policing the pedophilia issue hasn't been the most Stella, they have been doing it.
So I think under the condition that they are already morally policing themselves, they have the right to criticize others.
MrColdsweat: Good and bad are mental fabrications.
The same way nature can be caring and nurturing, is the same way nature can be ruthless and brutal. Look at the way nature punish us with hurricanes and tornadoes. Look at the way the leopard chases and eats a sheep?
Good and bad are creations to enforce man's order.
If good and bad were just mental fabrications they would vary greatly from person to person and from culture to Culture but they don't.
elnath: The priest is obsessed with sex too, apparently. He never spoke up against the Fulani herdsmen invasion of our farmlands, I didn’t read about his support for the #Endsarz protests. He has never written against bad governance, rape, child molestation, domestic violence but the silhouette challenge has him creeping out of his hole to offer an opinion. Father, go grab your Vaseline and keep up the good work.
Stop trying to smeer dung on people's name.
A quick Google search mostly debunks this bullshit claim.
Queenlovely: how then did you come into this world, if not sex?
Listen to my candid opinion on this issue of sex.
let us apply the Pareto principle here, it says that 80% of sex is done by 20% of the people.
while the rest just masturbate and watch pornography.
We have 90% virgin boys than girls
it is the 10% bad boys that does all the sex stuff, they do the real thing, while other boys satisfy themselves watching porn and visiting brothels.
It is the fear fear men that are obsessed over sex or the noveau Rich who wants to impress girls
Predo principle doesn't work quite right. The main assumption in anthropology now is that in pre-industrial societies, something like 40% of the men have offspring with something likw 80% of the women and this is on the high-end. The percentage for men only goes higher as the society organized more.
Also most of that 60% of the men that don't have offspring are just those that died early.
In modern society I personally think we have reached and passed that highest number of offspring and the number has gone down a bit but it should still be btw 70% to 80%.
MrColdsweat: There's nothing realistic about that question.
Nature us chaotic. Man created society to tame nature. But nature cannot be defeated.
In the default state of nature, there are no laws on who you Bleep, there's nothing like marriage etc.
Folks like you, came up and made laws. Prohibited sleeping around, laws that beheaded women for being human. That is why you men get very angry when women go against societal norms, because you created laws for them.
Back then, women were beheaded or stoned to death for sleeping around, yet they kept sleeping around. What does that tell you? You are designed to sleep around.
That is why you constant want to Bleep Any beautiful woman you meet, even when you are married.
Look beyond gender/societal norms and see that nature is fighting back through women.
Well it can also be argued that "men taming nature" is natural as that itself comes from the natural urge to grow and prosper, and it doesn't take a genius to see that acting like an animal isn't going to end in prosperity.
