My Conclusion On Nigeria After About 8 Months Of Traveling Across Rural Areas. by tomtomastom4: 1:34pm On Feb 17
I and my colleagues travelled to rural areas across all region in Nigeria, sensitizing the villagers on the need for having bank account. This is under our financial inclusion drive. After our journey, I can say that Nigeria is blessed beyond measures, we have too many resources and tourist areas that can bring in huge revenues to the locals and the govt also... But thats not the reason why am creating this thread.

My reasons for creating this thread are as follow:

1) If status quo remain, Nigeria will be conquered by the Fulanis before the year 2100. Let me not expose much, before some people will come for my head, but by the year 2100, the population of Christians to Muslims in Nigeria will be around 85%muslims and 15percent christians.

The traditional rulers across all the state and locality will be emirs, all the elected officials across the arms and ranks of gov will be muslims. Some states name could be renamed because it may sound offensive to them. You will no longer hear "Obi of this", "Eze of that", "Oba of there" "Olu of here", "sarki of this" etc all you will be hearing is emir, emir, emir and emir.... Kwara is a case study.

These armed men flow in from the entire west africa and gradually take cover in our forest. Its only time that will reveal their plans.

In the northern part of Nigeria, they use the cover of religion to mingle with the locals and commit all sort of atrocities. In the south, they kill innocent victims everywhere, destrying farm land and people source of lively hood. When the locals in the south react, the fulani will run and hide under the innocent hausa and herdsmen leadership. And these leaders, through the help of the state govt will now be negotiating and pleading with the locals not to turn violent and retaliate. Example is the recent burning of rice farm in Enugu. The rice was burnt by fulani men, but its the sarkin hausawa in that area that was begging and pleading for the owners of the farm to accept compensation.

These armed men have so much mastered and surrounded this nation that if they decide to launch and offensive attack against the citizens simultenously, our security agencies combined cannot stand them.

In one of the villages we went to in the south, I saw a fulani man, selling agbo.(this tree bark they put in bottle water rubber) He was just carrying one of it. Am 101% sure that in that village, nobody will buy that agbo from him, cos thats not the type of drugs they use. There is no nearby fulani settlement, yet thi fulani man was just walking on his own in the residential part of the village, not even on a market day. He was not even approaching people to ask them to buy his herb, he was just walking. We were in the village around june last year, from oct till date, I have heard of about 3 attacks by fulanis on that particular vilage and farm lands have been destroyed.

2)To curb the issue of banditry, kidnapping and constant attack by armed men on villagers, let all the soldiers go back to their barracks. Let the MOPOL and police handle this issue.

Again, I wont spill out the information I have, but I will just drop some open example. Use your tongue to count your teeth.

If you follow the news very well, you will see that on several ocassions, soldiers have clashed with police in areas where armed men are operating. And if you look at the case critically, you will see that the soldiers are trying to hinder the police from doing their work.

-Recently, in Jos(mangu) we heard the news of soldiers attacking a mopol base unprovoked.
-In Enugu, there is this new express road that link Nsukka to Enugu. If you have plied that road, you will see that there is about 3 military check points on that road. Yet on that road, kidnappings happens there often. What then are the soldiers doing there.
-In Katsina, there was a trending video of a soldier radioing to his colleague not to attack bandits who will be approaching them soon. If the military are really serious in wiping off this terrorits, they would have set up an ambush and kill off every single one of those terrorist.
-In Abia state, that cattle market(Lokpanta), despite the presence of military check points in that area, we all saw the type of attrocities that is going on there.
-One of my colleagues brother that was kidnapped in Jos, where they went to drop the ransom was not up to 1.5km from an army check point. How come those kidnappers arent scared of military men

From a reliable source, soldiers action and inaction is a barrier to the fight against armed men and banditry. Let the soldiers go back to the barrack and let the mopols and police who are mostly indigenes of that state spearhead the fight against terrorism. Am pretty much sure that if it were soldiers who went on the mission to arrest the Ekiti student kidnappers, they wont have recorded the succes that the police just did now. One oga at the top would have used his influence to sabotage the operations because the foot soldiers of our army are largely from one particular divide of the country.

3) Our village farmers no longer go to farm. The inflation on food price is just beginning, in 2 years time, we all will see how scarce food will be. From every corner of Nigeria, the story is the same. You go to farm, its either armed men kidnap you or you get killed. You succed in farming, when its time for harvest, the armed men either loot the farm or they burn it down. The stories are the same everywhere. Even in the South East where people are saying ESN is protecting them, the killing of farmers is happening there. And the worst part of it, there is no solution in site. Go and ask all those with rice mill and see how they now struggle to get rice to mill, unlike before when the farmers beg them to come and buy. If care is not taking, soon the food we will be selling at the markets will be food imported from neighbouring countries. The industrial and commercial farmers we have mainly serve our industries. What makes food cheap in Nigeria are our local farmers who farm from all angles, but currently those local farmers have either been killed, their farmland destroyed or have abandoned their village and have gone to the city for fear of been killed. We all saw the video of Benue people running away from their homes. 90% of those people might not come back to their village again, and these are the farmers that help make food cheaper. Go to Jos, Benue, Zamfara, Katsina< Kebbi, Nasarawa etc. Same stories. Farmers are being displaced. Go to Niger state, Kaduna, same thing. Just pass Birnin Gwari area in Kaduna state. A farming community, bubbling with farm produce markets have now been reduced to ghost towns. These states are the farm powerhouse of Nigeria. Yet instead of govt to tackle this issue, they are busy bursting and sealing peoples warehouse and Nigerians are hailing the govt. If I may ask, is this the first time that people started doing "storage of food commodity." Instead of the govt to tackle supply issue, they are busy release "storage". When the "storage" finish, what next.

I will end with this... You dont blame a Lion for preying on the Antelope, because its the nature of the Lion to feed on live animals. So also, I dont these fulani men for trying to displace people across Nigeria, esp in the south, it is in their nature to conquer lands. I blame the people, esp the leaders who instead of fighting for the interest of their people, they chose the wine and dine with the enemy, just because of the loaf of bread that was given to them.

I once asked a captain in the Nigeria army, why is it that soldiers in the east can easily attack a village, burn people houses and go Scot free, but same cant happen in the north. His answer... Easterners have high ranking military men. Why is it that they cant challenge the authorities of the army when such things happen. Why is is that they cant summon and question the officer who led the attack on innocent villagers. This is because our own people cant speak up for fear of losing the loaf of bread in their mouth.

The greatest threat to the unity of this nation is this armed bandist and kidnappers who use the money they recieve from ransom to further buy arms used in terrorising the citizens. If this country did not break up and govt did not improve on security, then forget it, soon this nation will turn to a fulani colony.

Modifeid...
Lets all take a lesson from the happenings in Kaduna. Kaduna that used to be a state of mixed religion, is now tending towards a one religion state. We are all seeing the attack happening in southern kaduna and how govt are acting as if nothing is happening there. We all saw how some of the southern kaduna traditional rulers were killed and replaced by emirs. Before Elrufai came, Kaduna have been having mixed religion in the gov and deputy gov, now el rufai have made it a one religion something. ANd before those of you forming woke will come and be speaking trash, go and watch the video how how elrufai was boosting that he has finally placed Kaduna in the hands of the believers and hope to replicate same in Nigeria. Thats how it starts, its all part of the grand plan.

In every forest in this nation, there are armed fulani men terrorising the locals within that area. Its not a secret any more. the locals of tried to manage them, but those fulanis are armed to the teeth. If something drastic isnt done, most of our villages will turn to Ghost Towns like Birnin Gwari.

I will like you guys to read more about Birnin Gwari. Read about how the village was once a bubbling area full of farming activities. People from all over Nigeria troupe to Birnin Gwari to buy commodities. That town is a business hub in terms of farming commodities. But right now, more than 70 percent of the indigenes have fled the area and the town is mostly a ghost town. I think there was a thread on FP about 3 weeks a guy on a guys experience travelling through brinin gwari. Kindly look for that thread and see how bad that place have become.

But the funny thing is, our govt knows that there is a massive number of fulani bandits in that area. That area seems to be their head quarters, that area is within Ingeria, not at the border with another country. How come our securities have not launched a massive operation to rid that place from these terrorist. All they do is to escort travelers to pass that area.

One cannot but feel that Nigeria is under a curse. We have leaders who just do not care. They see all these but their primary if not only concern is to steal money and steal some more money to buy houses that they won't live in and gift money to hook up girls with big bom-bom.

We missed a golden opportunity with Peter Obi. He alone out of many seemed to grasp the gravity of the myriad problems and the willingness to provide solutions to them.

As far as I am concerned, Nigeria is gone...except there is a supernatural intervention.

Creation of State Police or allowing citizens bear firearms will put an end to all these.. no Fulani will go near farms when they know the farmers have guns and can shoot to kill.
This security problem has been projected long ago because of growing population, hunger, poverty, politics of ethnicity and bitterness etc.

Fulani know too well they can't touch Igbos

Ever wondered why bandit haven't attacked igbo settlements in the North? Even Boko Haram dont dare ... Igbos that get hurt are just cross fire no attack targeted on Igbos

If it was pre 2006 Igbos would have been target practice

In fact there is a section of Igbos praying for attack targeted at Igbos in the North

The preaching of the Gospel would start from the North

I may agree with you on this because igbos always go back to their father land once in a while. So no matter how they are been displaced, once the attackers try to settle in their land, they cant succed because they will definitely meet resistance from the indigenes. But that doesnt stop fulani armed men from attacking soft targets. Ihamufu community in enugu have been coming under attacks off recent. I dont see what they govt is doing about it. I even read in a news of an attacked that happened after the army left their base in the community. WHo gave the order to withdraw the army from their base. Just like i said, let the army go back to baracks, let the police and local vigilante spear head this fight againts banditry.

Lol those places should learn from CAR how to handle Fulanis

Fulanis are easy people to handle that's not even an issue... The biggest issue with fulanis are southern betrayals

Fulanis know it's impossible to attempt to conquer igbo land... Any attempt at that they would beg to keep just sokoto

Let's not turn this issue to tribal and political issue. The OP raise a valid observation and this might even happen sooner than the 2100 OP project because of the division in the southern part of the country.

If Fulani succeed in conquering Benue and kogi state, they could use those state as a launching pad to invade the east. The earlier the south unite to fight of this terrorist, the better for the future of our children.

They can invade SW although it's already happening in SW! Fulanis knows they have no business in the SE. Forget the werey Enugu state gov. Fulanis cannot cross SE, e no possible! They're better off in SW where they truly belong and owns all lands.

Afterall Yorubas and Fulanis are one. Yorubas Muslims are one with hausas and Fulanis, so what are you saying? Have you ever seen anything like Igbo Muslim before? It's impossicant! Such terminology does not exist in SE.

There are plenty indigenous Igbo Muslims esp in enugu and imo state. Though I haven't seen them behaving as if they are more of Hausa than Igbo, cos thats what I noticed among the Yoruba Muslims working with us. They tend to align more with the Hausa Fulani than Yoruba.

But it's gud to know that Fulani are in south East... and they have been attacking villages without challenges.

Ihamufu side of Enugu, nkanu and udi have all come under attack in recent times.
