it means to dominate in a Northern language.

in Hausa it means 'fast' or with speed.

So dominate/steal/posess the southern lands with speed or faster.


There you have it.

That is how tricky and cunning Fulani occupiers appear in the beginning.

Allow them an opportunity and in two years time they will tell you they need basic amenities - pipe borne water,
electricity, Mosque, market, better housing and schools for their children.

Five years after, they will multiply rapidly and install an Emir.

Thirty years after, they have taken charge. Their children will tell you they were born in that land decades ago and
have nowhere else to go to.

Have you ever wondered why the majority native Hausas are mostly ruled by the minority Fulanis?

Have you asked yourself why all the Emirs in the North are Fulanis?

My dear, their usual trick is to settle, occupy and take charge. They will wage a Jihad if you resist them afterwards.

Go and arrest him! Why should anyone have a positive mindset when there is an imminent threat of invasion and takeover by bloodthirsty marauders? This isn't the movie Mad Max, real prople are being murdered daily by your darling herdsmen. I just noticed your moniker, Lanre. Apologies, it's in your nature.

the level of ignorance displayed by some people in this thread is alarming,a moniker explained and still some are hell bent on giving it another meaning always using emotions which clouds your judgement.

I really hope you're right. I feel it's cultural for them to support all things Fulani.

Well he said there’s nothing like Ruga in the dictionary so I proved otherwise.

Any community that allows this nonsense venture by the FG to happen without resisting it will regret it in like 5 years to come. How to you reward killers with settlement in people's community?


Just like bringing BH members to come and live in your area.
