‘visa-free Entry For Herdsmen Will Complicate Nigeria’s Security Problems’ by 9jahotblog(op):
Outspoken southern socio-cultural groups, Afenifere and
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, have responded to the boastful claims
by Miyetti Allah that herdsmen all over Africa will not
require visa before entering Nigeria, warning that such
grandstanding in the face of the proposed visa on arrival
policy of the federal government can only worsen the
security challenges currently faced by the country.
In his reaction, Afenifere spokesman, Yinka Odumakin,
said “They are just confirming what we knew all along that
the visa-free entry into Nigeria is a policy for Fulani
herdsmen all over Africa to invade Nigeria. The
government is shutting border in the western part of the
country while leaving it open in the north shows it all. Who
are the Africans the government is opening its borders for,
is it not the Fulani that is coming to Nigeria. We knew but
kept quiet and now they are confirming a secret we all
knew that it is a policy for the Fulani herdsmen, to invade
Nigeria, to change our demography and carry out their
plan without let or hindrance because we have what
people are calling ‘Fulani government of Nigeria.’ Some
might think there is confusion here; there is no confusion
on the agenda. Shutting the border in the southern part of
the country is to promote the rice being grown in the
north. Asking people to come into Nigeria without a visa
is a Fulanization policy; to allow herdsmen to invade and
use Miyethi Allah against the rest of us.”
Also speaking for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the group’s
National Publicity Secretary, Uche Opaga-Achi, said that
Miyethi Allah could afford to do whatever it likes in the
country because it has the backing of the powers that be.
“It stinks to high heavens that these people could speak
with impunity because one could see and say that the
Federal Government has tilted towards one ethnic group,
the Fulani group. It also shows that the immigration law of
the country has been rubbished and thrown to the dustbin
and that is why you don’t need the international passport
as long as you are a Fulani and a herdsman. It is just
unimaginable. This does not obtain anywhere, only in
Nigeria.
“These people are saying it with impunity because they
feel they are protected and truly nobody could stand them
because they are truly in charge of all the security
apparatus; military and paramilitary. Is there any security
agency that they are not in charge of, absolutely none.
They could also say that be cause the border is free for
them to cross at any point in time they desire while other
tribes or groups cannot. It is the absolute truth of what we
are facing in Nigeria, it is what the country has become.
The rule of law no longer obtains here, what is obtained
here is body language and that is the body language we
have in the country. It is quite a pity that we have come to
the end of the road.
“This is why the insecurity of this country has remained
intractable. Our borders are porous because we allow
people who are not Nigerian to invade and kill us in tens
and thousands, and a group is boasting about it because
it is to their advantage. It is a pity for us and I hope that
someday somehow our leaders will be called to account
for their stewardship,” he stated.

These ignoramuses. It’s visa on arrival for Africans which other African countries like Kenya have been practicing a long time ago. Herdsmen do not need visa before entering Nigeria because of ECOWAS protocol.

I wonder how people are so foolish because of hatred.

Do you think you are smart?
We should now accept the same ECOWAS protocol that Buhari consistently violates via border closure?
Herdsmen are illegal immigrants, they have no papers and should be deported according to the law.
ECOWAS protocol does not excuse illegal immigrants.

Herdsmen have been entering Nigeria before you were born. Other Nigerians are also illegal immigrants in Ghana, Chad, Niger, Togo, Benin, Liberia, etc.
