The North is like a curse.

An embargo or a yoke on the destiny of Nigeria.

It's like no matter what Nigeria does, as long as these people are there, the country is never moving forward.

Right now in the National assembly, these savages are asking that underaged married girls should be allowed to vote.

those criminal governors are the ones behind these banditry.
when those bandits saw that negotiation wasn not going to happen+ improved military presence, they released those boys.
now they've kidnapped another set again in katsina yesterday evening.
and the useless set of governors would be thinking about negotiation??

What these bandits and co. are doing, if they were from the southern or eastern part of the country, Crocodile and python would have gone there to dance, kill people, destroy properties and scatter their communities because they are terrorist.

But because it's the north, they are only bandits who are allowed to carry AK47 and other weapons around all in the name of protecting cows.

This double standard will force this country to it's knees sooner than later.

They were fully armed and you could not estimate their numbers but, from what I saw, they were over 1, 000. And almost all of them were carrying AK-47s. They were all youths. You will see a boy of 14 years carrying AK-47. Some of them were under the influence of drug.

Abdul05, Ultimate21, Omenka and other brutal hypocrites will never see anything wrong with this.

They are falling over themselves scavenging, raising dirt and rock, searching for ipob news.

They prefer Miyetti allah bandits killing people.

If you try to defend yourself like the Amotekun and ESN, you will become their enemy and they will cry, beg, gnash their teeth asking python and crocodile dance to be sent to crush them, while looking the other way as their drugged bandits with AK47 are everywhere.
especially that omenka , you will never see him here immediately igbo or ipob news props up you will see typing epistle for his moronic fools to digest

…’How Fulani herders/local farmers’ conflict degenerated into kidnapping, killings’



https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/12/i-saw-over-1000-bandits-carrying-ak-47-rifles-some-under-the-influence-of-drug/


In one siege, these armed men assisted by inaction of Fulani-run Nigeria armed forces, can overrun the whole of southern Nigeria anytime they want - Amotekun and ESN notwithstanding.

Southern politicians continue to wait for 2023 when northern politicians shall appoint some southerners to become president and whatever.


Let the 12 sharia states govern themselves as they want, either by returning regional government system to Nigeria; or by dissolution of Nigeria.

Re: Lawal Saidu: I Saw 1,000 Bandits With AK-47 Rifles, Some Under Influence Of Drug by Nobody: 4:24pm On Dec 20, 2020
men this epistle is long but the first thing I have picked is that two leaders returning from Hajj where arrested at the Airport so DSS allowed them to go to Hajj isn't that the best opportunity to collaborate with the NIA to organize some Islamic lecture for them in Saudi Arabia via proxy in order for them to change their ways and repent anyway let me continue reading.

Fulani farmer clash would continue until someone like President Buhari can influence his Fulani brothers that he is making more profit and more nunu without choosing a Nomadic lifestyle perhaps the reason Baba like to visit his Daura farm and true growing up in the 80's as a toddler I use to have this Fulani dress I do cherish and yes they do carry a stick which the do put by their neck and hang with there two hands on while the Fulani women sell their fura which me still don't like the taste, anyway when I finish reading I would give my advice.

Well the first advice is not necessary amnesty but that of reconciliation from what I have read innocent people have been killed and livelihood taking away, if those people don't heal even after amnesty they would find a way to assassinate those who hurt them in the past. So reconciliation and possibly compensation is the first step.

The second step is to know the root of the problems from the bottom up and sign a local threaty on how they want to cohabit. They should demarcate the land allocate grazing land even if they have to pay for it and also have penalties when farm land are destroyed. They should also be a way to mediate when conflicts of interest arise with an impartial Judge.
Thirdly the Amnesty program shouldn't be given completely there should be conditions attached to it, deterrent from any criminal activity for the next five to ten years should make the Amnesty acceptable as well as other conditions that might seems fit .
The 1000 Ak47 should be sold back to government but you and I know the average price for an Ak47 $1200 and $1500 I don't know what exchange rate they using sha,the young ones should be sent to school and the youths properly engage.
Lastly there should be a joint vigilante between the herders and the local community,while also ensuring there are no foreign influences in their activities.

There is one thing i deduce from this interview and that is "There is no such thing as bandits". It is the usual farmers and herders clash. It seems the governments in that region are sympathetic to the armed herders cause.

See the way Fulani names are popping up, here and there. Can we say banditry is exclusive to Fulani's alone.

There is no such thing as the fulani herdsmen and farmers clash. It is a terrorist attacks on farmers by the fulani herdsmen. Let's call a spade a spade.

The Jihadists running Nigeria know what they are waiting for: any slight opportunity to unleash the armed Jihadists called bandits towards attacks on southern Nigeria.

Truth is that the North has been preparing for these lawlessness a long time ago. Already, there's social crisis influenced by religion and politics. This provides an incite to how it all started in Afghanistan. Soon, what you call bandits would turn to warlords.

All I saw in this article is that BANDITS ARE FULANI TERRORISTS fighting against HAUSA farmers. There is now a heavy clash between the Hausa and Fulani in the North and the Fulanis are suffering heavy causalty that they are now hiding in the forests begging the Hausa people to stop retaliating.

It is time for the Hausa to meet with Afenifere and IPOB to form a triangle that will eventually end the illegal Fulani occupation of Nigeria.

Katsina: The motorcycle bandits terrorising northern Nigeria
By Nduka Orjinmo
BBC News, Nigeria

Nigeria's north-west, an area almost the size of the UK, borders Niger and criminal gangs criss-cross between the two countries, evading security.

5 July

The groups are the latest to join Nigeria's lucrative kidnap for ransom industry, and are quite brazen in their operations.

In the last decade more than 8,000 people have been killed in the states of Kebbi, Sokoto, Niger and Zamfara, according to the International Crisis Group.

But recent attacks in the president's home state of Katsina, where more than 100 people were killed in attacks between April and June, have led to protests and calls for his resignation.
On two separate occasions the bandits targeted villagers who had received food handouts from the government during the coronavirus lockdown.

"They were about 200 on motorbikes, each bike rider carried a passenger and they all carried AK-47 guns," Bashir Kadisau, an eyewitness, told the BBC.

He said he climbed to the top of a tree when he saw the large number of motorcycle riders coming into Kadisau village, and saw the attackers loot shops, steal cattle and grain, and shoot people who were fleeing.

Climate change fuels conflict
The attacks are rooted in decades-long competition over resources between ethnic Fulani herders and farming communities.

The herders are mostly nomadic and can be found on major highways and streets across the country herding their cattle, but they have become involved in deadly clashes with farmers in Nigeria's north-western and central states.

This is because these areas have suffered massive deforestation, due to the impact of the Sahara Desert spreading south, causing arable farming land to disappear and water to become scarce.

'Kidnapping more lucrative than herding cows'
Armed groups within Fulani communities are being accused of resorting to criminality.


"The herders now see kidnapping and pillaging as more lucrative than the herding.

"The biggest cow would go for 200,000 naira but one kidnapping would fetch millions," Dr Adamu said.

On two separate occasions the bandits targeted villagers who had received food handouts from the government during the coronavirus lockdown.

"They were about 200 on motorbikes, each bike rider carried a passenger and they all carried AK-47 guns," Bashir Kadisau, an eyewitness, told the BBC.

He said he climbed to the top of a tree when he saw the large number of motorcycle riders coming into Kadisau village, and saw the attackers loot shops, steal cattle and grain, and shoot people who were fleeing.
