Ghana doesn't treat Fulanis herdsmen with kids gloves ooo. In the mid 2000,Ghana military and Police dealt with them ruthlessly and sacked them from Ghana when these Fulanis used their cattles to destroy people farms in Eastern and Ashanti Regions of Ghana. Even in Volta Region, the indegens themselves teamed up and dealt with them brutally when these Fulanis used their cattle to destroy farms in the region.
In Ghana the law respect Ghanaians and in Nigerian the law favours the cows. If your cows destroy any farm, the cows will be seized and used to feed prisoners.

This 9ja Fulani goes around with beta AK 47 and cutlasses readily prepared to kl at any provocation

In Ghana it's the same...


Or almost same. Because I'm not aware they go around with ak 47s but they do go around with machetes and weapons which is understandable because of the nature of their jobs, being in the bushes and for protection etc.


But I think generally their attitudes are the same. As they are ready to kill at the slightest provocation and would let their cattle damage or feed on your crops if allowed unchecked.


The only difference in the situation is the response and how the matter is treated and handled between the two countries.

Ghanians are also calm but very vindictive people and will take their time to show the Fulanis shege when they damage their crops so the Fulanis too are also abit wary of crossing their paths and so have Small respect or regard. Unlike Nigeria where they have become even emboldened and arrogant for whatever reasons.

But the main difference is laws , respect for it and how it's implemented between the two countries and that why cases of Fulani misbehavior is reduced not totally eradicated in Ghana!

most of fulani in nigeria hold big big post
they dominate hausa in northern part

The difference between Ghana and Nigeria is the Leadership support.

Ghana government are not terrorists aiding the fulanis to kill and destroy people's lives and livelihood. It is not that Ghanians are more bold than Nigerians, it is because the Nigerian government is run by same fulani terrorists who have declared war on everyone in Nigeria

Ghanians on nairaland, I heard Fulani isn't allowed to run for political office. Is it true.

It is the northern extremists jihadists political and religious leaders that are giving the jihadists terrorists money and clout...we see them on video paying bandits, because they are their brethren. They know what they are doing.

Can you try this here?
Ask you reps to start a motion in National Assembly.

I returned home one day and found Fulani women sleeping at the front of my gate in the Eastern Region of Ghana. It was surprising, but as soon as they saw me, they quickly stood up and left. My house was located in a bushy area, where Fulani herders often passed through. Despite their constant movement, they were always composed.

The problem is a section of the population rever them. The hausa and some others in north treat them as special, and like to identify with them, hence the hausa/Fulani and the kwara that have started the Yoruba/Fulani. They feel it makes them special if the filulani is with them. Unfortunately the Fulani is very strict with who they mix they bloodline with and hardly even marry outside their tribe

See how some of you are easily swayed, manipulated and given false information...


Then in return you go ahead and spread it to equally gullible people as facts?


The person you quoted was simply asking a question for confirmation as he himself wasn't sure and wanted to confirm which is not a bad thing but you rather take it as fact most likely due to your prejudice and bias.



Anyway there is no law preventing Fulanis in Ghana from contesting public office. However, they are a very minor population in Ghana so the demographics doesn't favor them. Personally, I don't think many of them are too interested in political governance either and I don't think they are exactly the most loved people for whatever reasons. So the odds are stacked against them in occupying public offices not that they are explicitly exempted.


They have been a few Fulanis who occupied public offices in the past. But most of those positions are mostly minor positions in government like parliament.

Fulanis are basically nomads and Ghanians don't really accept them as real or true Ghanians and so these affects their chances.


But there are basically no laws explicitly preventing them from contesting elections. It one thing to seek votes and another thing to be voted for.

@onecandlelight I hope this answers your question?

Nigerian major tribes are a very nonchalant people. They allowed the Fulani to ride over them for a long while now. Despite the damages that the Fulani have inflicted on them, you'll still find many of them that still support the Fulani and make excuses for them.

The minority tribes are different but often times they don't have the required resources to check the Fulani. Plateau and southern Kaduna tried a lot. Its the TIV that were and are disappointing

Thank you. I just needed clarification on what I heard.

Interesting perspective! It's clear that handling such sensitive issues requires a balance between respecting people's livelihoods and enforcing the law. Ghana's strict approach, especially in the mid-2000s, certainly set an example in terms of prioritizing the protection of people's farms.

Don't forget Ghana fence Fulani politicians from important positions, Bawumia bring a northerner effectively cost him in the last elections.

Fulani dey beg for importance for dere, for here na dem we dey beg.

How they shared themselves in Africa.

Britain practically handed Nigeria to them! And that’s why they have this sense of entitlement and are prepared to do anything to sustain its tortured existence! It’s just unfortunate my people are sharing the same geographical space with them!

It's only possible if they feel the authority are with them.
They can't try this in countries that protect their citizens like Israel.

Cromagnon:

They simply took advantage of the schisms in the polity and favoured one side against the other! Of course there’s an argument to be had on why the likes of Zik couldn’t foresee the dangers inherent in sharing the same country with a people vastly different from his own in culture, traditions and values, even with the safeguards he may have felt the constitution afforded him and his people (i guess none of them at the time thought of a coup scuppering all their plans)! But what do suggest southern politicians of the time should have done after sleepwalking into accepting to be joined with the north at independence? Remember a window of opportunity presented itself to them in 1967, and it was rejected by the same players who earlier had the foresight to suggest a secession clause be added to the independence constitution! But more importantly though, why do you think that southern politicians of TODAY are either scared stiff, hamstrung or just uninterested in putting the muslim core north in their place!?

Blame the British for the kind of power that the Fulanis have in Nigeria today..

Even the Ghanian Fulanis have all emptied into Nigeria where cows are more reverred than human lives..

Why did we leave the dismantle for them to take advantage
Why do we still leave them

No argument
All humans try to expand their area of influence
East had little land. Though they could Colonia Nigeria

But what do suggest southern politicians of the time should have done after sleepwalking into accepting to be joined with the north at independence?

Not sleep walked is a good start

easier to sell their ppl down the river and get paid ad had been done for millenia

They are a minority in Nigeria too.

The population of Fulani in Nigeria are much and they and Hausas have mixed together that you can hardly differentiate between them, even i writing this hardly differentiate between them,it is only those that I saw with cow grazing that I know as Fulani.

Obidients are preparing to vote a Fulani man as long as he picks their Agulu messiah as his running mate.

Is it the Fulani race you guys are against or the Fulani bandits?

Among the Fulani herders you will find some criminal elements but can you guys honestly say all Fulani herders are bandits ?

The Fulani herders have suffered greatly in the hands of these fulani bandits.

Before the whole kidnapping enterprise began, it was cattle rustling that was the main revenue stream for these bandits and who owned the cows that were being rustled if not same Fulani herders.

Are there enablers among the Fulani hierarchy supporting the bandits or shielding them from prosecution and police action?

No. The powerful Fulani elite have always supported and protected the herders and not the bandits because most of the cows in the hands of the herders are owned by Fulani elite.

This is where the confusion arises because Fulani elites have protected Fulani herders does not mean they are protecting the Fulani bandits.

Are there cases of state backing for the bandits ?

Yes. In Zamfara the former Governor had disbanded the Hausa vigilantes and proscribed them as an illegal security outfit. And his reason for that was because the Fulani bandits masquerading as protectors of the Fulani herders had demanded their disbandment for peace .

The previous governor had given out remote lands to Hausa farmers and this saw to clashes between the herders and farmers and began the whole thing spiralling out of control that the Fulani bandits then decided to reform themselves as defenders of Fulani herders whom they had been terrorizing and stealing their cows.

The governor then carved out large swaths of land for RUGA but since the bandits were not herders they continued their criminal enterprise robbing, kidnapping and raping across the state and beyond.

As a people, the Fulani have a strong ingroup preference, that is, they stick together no matter what. Being nomadic in culture has sharpened the Fulani whose wanderings have taken them to far and distant lands and made them strangers and minorities, prone to attacks.

Its from this that the Fulani learnt to come to each others aid no matter the internal grievances they might have among themselves.

But this same ingroup preference also saw the same Fulani protecting and shielding their own criminals. This is not unique to the Fulani as we are now aware that same ibos here on NL display this same attribute.

What I will offer here is not to judge the entire Fulani race based on the actions of Fulani bandits , criminal herders and their elite who protect them.

I for one know and are good friends to several fulanis, they are the most intelligent and to a large degree cunning people I have met. They are also not trivial and may not offer an unsolicited advise or even hint you to an opportunity unless you ask them.

To understand a typical city dwelling Fulani just know you have to be first trusted by him and you must probe him for answers.

And how do you earn a Fulani man's trust? Simply don't see him as just another Fulani

Nothing intelligent about causing mayhem and destruction out of Arab religious brainwashing and greed.

In an upside-down world in which we term destructive, evil scheming "intelligence".

NONSENSE.
