Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has sacked all Fulani district heads, known as Ardos, replacing them with indigenous Nupe Chiefs in a historic move aimed at curbing kidnapping, violence, and terrorism. The decision effectively ends centuries of Fulani domination over indigenous people in the state, marking a significant shift in the region's political and traditional landscape.

The governor cited the rising cases of kidnapping, land grabbing, destruction of farmlands, and the invitation by local Fulani of other Fulani from outside the country to help them in sustained conflicts with indigenous people as reasons for the decision. He has replaced them with village chiefs or re-designated roles such as Hakimi to strengthen local indigenous authority and improve security in the state.

This is uncalled for...Fulani has become part of the people...if they worth then why not

That would not be a fair approach. Justice loses its meaning when the innocent are made to pay for the excesses of a few. If, for example, Tinubu were to dismiss every Igbo member of his cabinet because of ipob, it would rightly be condemned as collective punishment rather than justice.

Richtaiwo:
This is not a fair treatment though. You can't punish everybody because some are nuisance. If for instance Tinubu decides to sack all the igbos in his cabinet because of ipob, that will not be fair to the igbos.

Why bring igbo into this ?

It's like you don't understand.

I read the whole article and I can't fault the governor

Bago is not supposed to be a governor, but APC change made it possible. This is what causes division.

A very good move.

Igbos are their nightmare,they can stand your guts and intelligence.

Ahhhh😂😂
Are fulanis indigenous to Niger state?
What kind of example is this?

The tribe of kanuris, igbo and people of south south rejected Fulanis and you will not hear of bandits attacking them

Nice one

IPOB is only terrorists to enemies of Nigeria which you are part of.

Niger Governor’s decree is a brilliant one. A subtle shift in power. Absolutely perfect for bolstering the Nupe's influence.

Kanuri is largely Fulani and even worse. Go and ask about their exploit.

A Kanuri man won't pray in the same mosque with a Fulani man. Kanuri and Fulani can't even dwell in the same environment.

good move from the governor here

They should drop the Emir titles and revert to their "Etsu" which is true Nupe origin.
Hausas better wake up from their slu.mber and revert to their Hausa traditional titles.
