KADUNA — A coalition of Northern elder groups has sparked national debate by proposing that the Federal Government award formal security contracts to armed Fulani herdsmen to patrol Nigeria’s restive forests. The elders argue that formalizing the presence of herdsmen as a specialized “Forest Guard” is a necessary step to curb the wave of banditry and mass abductions currently paralyzing the North-West.

In a formal statement issued on Friday, January 23, 2026, the elder groups questioned what they termed a “security double standard” in the Federal Government’s approach to regional instability. They specifically drew a parallel between the billions of naira paid to ex-militants in the Niger Delta for pipeline surveillance and the lack of a similar investment in Northern forest security.

Gumi was right

They are all greedy fanatics lusting after money and wealth
And they are ready to become rich at the expense of many lives being lost
Then they claim to be religious people
Including Gumi himself

Una wan chop una portion like Tompolo, Dokubo and the likes abi?


Nigeria is funny place where anything is possible.

Niger Delta, through oil and gas, provides revenues for the Nigerian Government and the Nigerian people. The Fulani bandits and the Northern part of Nigeria in general are economic parasites to the Southern part of Nigeria.

Pipelines contribute a lot to the Nigerian economy

What does the forest contribute to the economy ?

Other than the fact that it is now used as a den of thieves and bandits.

These people have lost their minds. Never heard anything so ludicrous. Forest guards should come from the indigenes stock of the area.
.

Fulani herdsman can be armed to guard Sambisa and other forest in the NE and NW. Nonsense.

These people with their small brains, herdsmen can guard you in the north, we don't like herdsman they have killed a lot and destroyed villages, raped women and children in the south. If you people condone and love beasts, we don't.

I blame southern governors who are only focused on politics and money and not protecting their homeland and tribal lands and people, it's a shame for them to even say this with all the people killed by these herdsmen?

These people must think we are very unwise.

Awon wereys.. I thought you guys all said anyone has his or her rights to live in the forest when SUNDAY and NNAMDI were kicking the terr0rists out of the forest. The evil that yall supported MUST consume yall and your entire families.. una never start. When una start, na una go take una own hand kick those terr0rs out una land.

Create a problem and profer a solution, gbammm you are Rich

Armed herdsmen should guard cows not forest

Looks like what a parasitic region would say.

Bunch of deluded people.

You are not to blame at all. these butterflies that think itselfs are birds. Look at these wonderers, who invade people farm land with cows and guns to destroy crops, will be armed to protect farmers they destroy their farms, kill and hold to ransom, even demand for millions of tax before they can harvest their crops. May electrifying thunder blaze your stinking mouths to think after committing and still commiting all these evils, govt would contract you with tax payers money, even vat from alcohol to reward you.
