This is a misleading and mischievous article. Fulani don't fight for Islam, they fight for their Animals. Majority of nomadic Fulani don't believe in any religion, they don't go to mosque, neither do they offer Salat anywhere.

Boko haram too might be claiming Islam, but they are deceiving themselves. Whenever their camps get raided by security agents, they always find thousands of Condoms, alcohol, hard drugs and women they keep as sex slaves. Rape alone is punishable by death in Islam so all Boko haram has been sentenced to death Insha Allah, thousands of our Mujahedin in the civilian JTF have been helping the military to destroy those unfortunate infidels called Boko haram, because they have no place in Islam and the World!!!

By Jehovah's grace, I am a Christian. But I am quiet pleased with your view. At least it clears many things. Though, Bokoharam claim they are they only true Muslims who have come to fulfill the will of "ALLAH" on "INFIDELS". On the flip side, the northern elites seems to be pleased with the activities of BH. I am yet to see any northerner come out publicly to denounce them. I don't know if they are scared though.

I am of the view that Christians should have millitia groups. Because the world we live now requires it. But I always advocate that such should not be to inflict pains on people of other faith like BH was doing. But to stand in defence of the cross. Because it seems that in this present world, tolerance has gone through the window. Somebody will be teaching his little boy everyday that anybody that is not a Muslim is enemy of Allah. The innocent boy will grow up to become menace.

These oyibo people just want to set Africa ablaze especially Nigeria that is highly complicated due to our diversity in tribe and religion.
my wonder is that, we claim to be religious and most of us failed to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ( may GOD peace be upon him) and Prophet Muhammad ( may peace and blessings of GOD be uon him).

In the end both Islam and Christianity are abrahamic religions wether from the whites or from the Arabs. Both were instruments of Slavery and oppression both have longer term effect on the basic ability of individuals to ask questions when the truth is blurry. And both will be the reason the black race becomes extint so, get on with it then.

This article is nothing but bullshit and ignorance, the Farmer herder crises is a struggle for resources NOT Religion.

Majority of the victims of the crises are peasant farmers and herders, trying to give it a religious background and struggle is mischievious and misleading.


Very misleading indeed. These are the kind of articles that spread and cause problems in the land.

This is a misleading Article. The struggle is for resources , and not religion. This conflict has been going on for years.
It is news everywhere now because of the frequency and deadly nature of the raids has increased, and the media now find it newsworthy to promote whatever agenda they have in mind.

I stopped reading when he was having the interaction with the Fulani boy about the "German Insignia (swastika)". grin. This interaction is a Faaat Lie.
What does a local Fulani boy with no western education know about swastika , not to talk of Nazi Germany. grin I laff. Im very sure it was just coincidence the boy wearing the swastika logo shirt, not knowing the story behind the logo, innocently bought at a bend down select and you have a visiting journalist who is biased , writing an article about Islamisation. What a perfect match for a wonderful story.

And from the Authors name "Levi", definitely Jewish. We know how Jews and Muslims roll. wink

The author does not know that even core Muslim states like Zamfara and Katsina have parts of it under siege by this same Fulani. Parts of Birnin gwari area in Kaduna is a no go zone and has been facing this challenge for many years by the same Fulani militia.

The article was on point till the tilt towards Islamisation and cooked up interaction with fulanis, we know there is a serious conflict going on , but don't come and add your own Maggi to the story to favour you and your sponsors.

Now his gullible readers and many Nigerians would swallow this story hook, line and sinker. Nonsense.


Thank you. We need to dispel this article for its BS.

You will regain ur sanity only when u start resoning beyond islam /religion as the only root of ur problem.
I know this story must emanate from a Nigerian Christian who has ofcourse been sentimentally blindfolded by religion and even worst than the so called fulani extremist trying to cause disunity in Africa raising alarm on nothing ,
Have u asked urself "Does Islam only exist among the fulanis? Obviously No, " Are all Muslim waging war against Africa? No. Are u referring to Fulani waging war or Muslim waging war.
DANGOTE is a Muslim from north when he's making Nigeria proud in Africa and u r seeking to be employed in his company, he's a role model but when a fulani/Hausaman commit a crime, Islam is in trouble..
When exactly will u start using ur head?

You can only pretend to someone who has not lived in the north before. For those who have like me, we know how beast like you become when it comes to religious matters. How many have extremist like you killed because of newspaper articles that mentioned someone from the Quran. Have you no idea? In so many religious uprising it has been recorded how you people slauther your friends, neighbors and even benefactors. BH is not made of Christian's but mostly nothern Muslims.

It is a fact that the sect could be serviced by greedy easterners or westerners but those who perpatrate the actual evil we know.

If you don't have anything to say please keep quiet.

Deception, Lying 
and Taqiyya

Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences" or "gain the upper-hand over an enemy"

There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name).  These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
