* Says elite major problem of Nigeria

Mohammed Aminu in Sokoto

Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has advised Nigerians to stop attaching religious connotation to anything negative, decrying the fact that Fulani herdsmen are being accused of every attack in the country.

Speaking during a dinner organised for religious leaders, security agencies and journalists in his palace in Sokoto Saturday night, the monarch wondered why people blame Fulani herdsmen for every attack in their communities.

He noted with dismay that the issue had been politicised while anything negative is being attributed to Fulani herdsmen, even though there were other people committing heinous crimes elsewhere but not linked to religion, ethnicity and region.

“If criminals are doing bad things, they are criminals and they can be found anywhere, in any religion and tribe. Therefore don’t add religious or tribal toga to any act of terrorism.

“Fulani men are only after their cattle not after any government or its policies and programmes. How can they carry weapons, to go and do what with it ?,” he queried.

He observed that Muslims feel more marginalised in the country only that they were not complaining.

“When there is a vacant position and a Hausa man is appointed, we called it ‘northernisation and when a Muslim leader visit an Islamic country we say he is trying to islamise Nigeria.

“In fact, there are many people from other religion and tribes occupying other offices and we witness many christian leaders who have visited Christian countries but nobody said they were planning to Christianise the country,” he said.
The Sultan said Nigeria is a beautiful country and its people love one another, but blamed the elites for some of the challenges bedeviling Nigeria.

I see

“Fulani men are only after their cattle not after any government or its policies and programmes. How can they carry weapons, to go and do what with it ?,” he queried.

Do they goad cattle with AK 47 nowadays?
Brain wash your slaves.

If it is true that the whole sultan made this statement then i'm dissappointed in the IQ of the sultan,are there no links and evidences??,he talked of fulani,and also of muslim being marginalised,when a southern christain sow a similar/exact seed too,he suld just shut up in his seat of silence,awon giegiegie,awon agba amonarun malo,awon agbaya oun agbaoshi......#jeez,ifeelliketearingsomeonein"lawani"

That'z how i saw 1 the other day coming to the whole market with his sword tied to his waist,.......Datz why they never desist from dat silly act,when their elders arent scolding them or they are only doing it with "pankere".

Good from our leader Fulani/Hausa/Northerners/Nigerian Muslims. It baffles me to see any attack is being tag as Fulani herdsmen. The media is to be blame for this stereotype. We didn't mention Igbo Drug traffickers, Or Edo Ashewo Business, or Yoruba Internet Fraud. In every tribe there is the good and bad people. And my Fulani tribe is not excluded.

some monarchs shud be burnt at the stake

I think you had better shut your mouth instead of spewing thrash. The herdsmen had been infiltrated already by terrorists. Are all herdsmen criminals? .......................

even after their share from the national cake, they still steal with guns at night

A statement like dis coming from d sultan of herdsmen killers chai soon there will b once upon a time there was a country called Nigeria d agatu killings Enugu community killings ekiti n so is done by who?may d soul of those killed hunt all those who shield n encourage d herdsmen killing n destroying innocent lives

This just confirmed what people has been saying. There is a northern agenda

That's how the Northern leaders by their actions and inactions supported Boko Haram until it spiralled out of control.

[size=18pt]Okay o, Buhari and Fulani leaders think killing us is a joking matter.

Very soon, we won't blame again, we will shoot back.

Mark these words.[/size]

I wont be surprised if this guy secretly cheers these herdsmen on as the carry out these attacks.

Stop blaming d herdsmen....... Blame Jonathan

Stupid words from a leader whom I respect. If your relatives have ever been a victim you would understand.

They need to be orientated and the guilty ones should be jailed. They are as worse as Boko Boys and The Unrepentant militants.

Stop saying trash,ur words aren't even necessary cuz niggas hv just stood up for u invaders.

Let's start blaming the Sultan.

Thunder fire dis goat

I smell foul play... Well, kwantinu

Ok we will start blaming d Daura du.llard instead

Trash!! A traditional leader that should be truthful and blunt but listen to him... Leaders like these is the reason why Northerner now feel they own Nigeria.

Expect a similar talk from Buhari.

Tell us which attack is Fulani attack.

He is right. Let's face the fact and leave in peace.

Have you ever seen a headline line, "three Igbo robbers arrest" or "two Igbo drug pushers bursted"

Satan of sakwoto has gone mad. This is d same way they kept denying boko haram are not Muslims when they were bombing churches till boko started killing them too.

Yeye towel head cow

We go begin blame buhari then

These fools never learn. Same way they handled Boko haram, same way they're handling this.

Don't worry, Fulani will soon start attacking your own pple like Boko haram, then you'll start looking for more Idp camps
