Nigeria is just a Banana Republic where there is no justice anywhere.

kokomaster3d:
This is pathetic I must say. I salute the Governor for this. He should not forget to sack all the Doctors not present on duty.

If he sack them, can he get a replacement?

abbasajao:
Honestly one will conclude that there is no driven force for all Igbo actions. They just want to go against policies and actions of the federal government. Why?

because they want to be on their own, they are tired of the zoo called Nigeria

From the accent of those protesting, u will see that they are Hausa people and not igbos

THE STRUGGLE OF THE HAUSA AGAINST THE FULANI by Gbonka Ebiri

The first charismatic Hausa leader to unite his people against Fulani overlords was a scholar by the name Abd al – Salam , another Hausa scholar by the name Dan Buya joined him. His movement started around 1818, shortly after the death of Usman Dan Fodio. At the time, almost all Hausa people lived in slave camps and over 60% of them were vassals of the Fulani feudal overlords…. Another large faction were turned to chattels and sold to the Ottoman traders. The revolt by these clerics to take back their lands started at Sokoto and spread from Sokoto to Kebbi and Zamfara. Sultan Bello was the ruler from Sokoto. He declared the leaders of the revolt as apostates. They were both defeated in battle and assassinated.

The Hausas were organizing for a second revolt when Lord Lugard showed up. Hoping to use his influence to sack the Fulani rulers, they enlisted en -masse into his army and formed the first battalions of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF)… Lugard betrayed them after the successful campaign and gave the land of the Hausa people back to the Emirs on the condition that the Emirs agreed to be vassals of the British. The Hausa people protested and tried to pressure him to replace them with Hausa rulers. He refused and believed that the Fulani, being a non negro race would be supposedly more intelligent people to work with in a system of indirect rule. In his journal, he wrote…. ‘The Fulani are an alien race of conquerors who had in turn been conquered. It would constitute danger to the state if they were ousted from their positions. Their intelligence enables them to appreciate more readily than the negro population the wider objects of the British policy….’

Shortly before independence, another charismatic ruler rose from the ranks to free his people from Fulani rule. He was also a scholar by the name Aminu Kano. He shared similar philosophies with Awolowo on socialism and emancipation of the masses. He argued that the talakawas were an exploited group in the North and swore to abolish both the emirates and privileged class known then as Masu Sarautu. His rising profile posed concern for the British and for a second time, they made laws that disenfranchised the Hausa people. They created an electoral college in the North with laws that gave the emirs the final approval of any elected member into the legislature. With this law, they silenced the voice of the talakawas championed by Aminu Kano and frustrated his revolution.

In the 70’s, another Hausa cleric emerged and rallied Hausa people, his name was Mohammadu Marwa, nicknamed ‘Mai Tatsine (Hausa name meaning “ the one who dance”). He deviated from many of the Sunni teachings and declared himself an annabi (Hausa ruler). The title in Hausa is reserved for prophets with divine inspiration..... He swore to rid Hausa land of the Fulani elites and the nobility that exploited the local rulers for over a century. Like Aminu kano, he drew a mass following among the talakawas. His movement was violent. He had weapons smuggled into Kano for a revolution that started in December 1980….. Shagari government used the military to fight the movement and killed over 5,000 people. The group was fearless and stood their ground to the last breadth…. Major Haliru Akilu, one of the commanders sent to restore order in Kano observed that the fanatics never retreated, even when they were overpowered. They were bolder than the guerillas we read about fighting in Malaysia or in the jungles of East Asia’

Mohammed Marwa was killed shortly after the revolt . ( It was said that at death, his body did not decay and this futher inspired his followers). A More brutal successor came after him. His name was Ali Suleiman (Musa Makaniki). He led a more violent uprisings in Kaduna and the most violent of all postcolonial Hausa revolts in Yola in 1984 which left thousands of people dead and thousands more homeless. Buhari ordered a ruthless crackdown on the group in Yola that led to the death of many members. Musa Makaniki fled to Cameroon to escape death by hanging and stayed in exile for many years.

The current cleric standing for the Hausa masses is El Zakzacky. Unlike the other previous leaders of the fight for freedom for Hausa people, El Zakzacky had western education and his movement started with intellectuals in the ranks. He finished with a first degree in Economics at ABU but was denied his certificate. In a country where the Northerners enjoyed the privilege of a quota system, he could have lived a good life by pledging allegiance to Futa Jalon rulers…. On the contrary, he chose to stand up for the injustice done to the Hausa people for over a century. Like the cleric before him, he deviated from all Islamic laws that bound them to Alien rulers that exploited the natives to form the nobility. His struggle is not about Islamic ideals, it is about freedom for Hausa people and rejection of Fulani nobility. His rhetoric is strictly centered on it and the government they greatly influence at federal level.

The emirs are alien rulers. Like the British who left at independence, they need to vacate the Northern kingdoms and give Hausa land back to its ancestral owners who have been seeking redress for injustice done to them by the Jihad of 1804 since the early 1800’s..... ‘Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’ ( John F Kennedy)

wow. see history. No wonder Buhari hate this man. Hausa people wake up from your slumber and stand up for your brother, and gain back your freedom from Fulani people o

Why can't Buhari just obey court order and release their leader? He is the cause of all this violence, he pushed them to the wall. Haba, since 4years now, is it fair?

Abeg we need someone with something upstairs to head ministry of finance

Abeg, give us intelligent person as minister of finance o. The country is sinking

The show is a scam,and foolish people are busy voting foolishly

Big brother is looking for money. This season people aren't voting because the selection was bias

[quote author=shiffynaani post=80462224]I think this time the war is gonna be between the north vs the south. Fair enough![/quote

Pls stop saying south v north, say south v Fulani. It is not only Fulani that owes the north, we have alot of ethic groups in the North. Fulani is just one out of hundreds

Kagarko:
The North will equally form a formidable team to chase all the Yorubas and the Igbos residing in the North.

What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander.

Let us always preach the gospel of peace wherever we go.

God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

Where is the equity and fairness? (Federal character)

It is so sad

So, all the three arms of government are now headed by the core North. This nation is in trouble o

U think he is a thief like u people? His wealth is legit, he made it through business

Tunubu, this is one evidence o, later u will say it is Evans o. Useless man with no sense.

GoTV:

You are an advocate of hatred and fake news. Anything to paint the Fulani people evil is all you dig out. This is not what the Bible teaches we Christians to practice. The Bible admonishes we Christians to love our neighbors as ourselves. We don't have to blame every crime on Fulani's it's wrong. What is the evidence that this incident was committed by Fulanis? We Christians should stop beating the drums of war because no matter how we try we can never defeat the Fulanis in a war. The Fulanis are peaceful people but we must not mistake their silence for cowardice. How many of our Christian leaders can conquer territories like Uthman Dan Fodio? Stop demonizing the Fulanis, it's not Christ like to hate

Obviously, u are not a Christian. You are a Fulani. God punish you

I smell war in Nigeria. May God help us

Unik3030:
we know some people's prayer is for Nigeria to break up n God will put them to shame. they want buharis government to b ungovernable cos he booted out their looting machine so they never see anything good in him, at this point they can go to hell n burn to blazes. we know them n their tribe, God will put them to shame for sure

Is it by force to be with u guys? The Egyptian I see today may I see them no more. Just because of the oil in the south, u guys don't want breakup and u guys hate us so much but love our oil.

Hmmmmmm, we just need to go our separate ways. That is the only solution

lee4cent:
The Governor has done well in term of security of the state, also he has made it clear that he is owing 3 mnts in which he promise to pay b4 Sept. 20119, wao nice and luvly family, till 2023 Insha Allah.

Nemesis will catch up with u

yarimo:
YAHAYA BELLO is the Best governor of Kogi State since the state was created.

God will judge you

Can this country ever move forward? It is sad

freeze001:
So asking people to stop moving cattle by foot and transport them instead by trucks is equal to human life? These fulani goats around are just vampires looking for human blood to spill and it persists because buhari is also the patron of all fulani bloodsuckers but there must be an end to all this nonsense.

Surely there will be an end to all this rubbish, thank God we now know the root of our problems in this country. "FULANI" and they were not originally Nigerians in the first place. Their cup is about to full and they will all know their origin.

Abubauchi:
Ok IGBo shll remember that thy brothers living in northern region,so thy playing with the live of their brother's

U are u foolish cow

Fulani this, Fulani that.,will this Fulani people allow us have peace? They were never an ethnic group in Nigeria in the beginning, they invaded Nigeria 1790 by usman Danfodio, they took over hausa land and till today they rule them, like that is not enough, they want to take over the entire Nigeria and rule over us in our land. Enough of all this nonsense. "FULANI MOST GO"

Shuku0kukobambi:
I even thought the Moghalu is Dr Kingsley Moghalu of the YPP party and former deputy governor of CBN

Me too o. Imagine his cabinet members again. Buhari can not do anything differently o

Benekruku:
If I want to be fair and go by the recommendations of those that antagonised my humble and honourable self when I was in support of RUGA,

I will clearly state that the Ultimatum is well deserved. Many quoted me on Nairaland saying "RUGA should be done up North ONLY". Fine! And now they are also telling you to go trade in your region. Anybody that needs your product would come and buy in your region.

I think its fair with all honesty. If a Fulani or Hausa man is limited to trade in certain parts of the country, then I think other tribes should be limited to trading in there own region too.

I feel does that came for head when I was supporting RUGA can now find a better resolution to the impending doom that stares at us at present.


The English people call it "Tit for Tat"
Warri people call it "Do me, I do you"
Men call it "An eye for an eye"

You are just a smart fool.Has any tribe been restricted from trading in any part of this country before?Do u even know the meaning of Ruga settlement?

stanbillion200:
The citizens of this country don't know where their problems lies (with myself inclusive).
We have more pressing problems and some people are busy staging protest for the arrest of a senator who got a woman beaten.
Haba, and some able bodied men with huge Beard are even carrying placards on the street supporting the arrest of the senator.
That was how some jejunes did same against the COZA pastor.
Nigerians please buy some senses

It is u that actually need to buy some sense

Odetokun3:
Was told the case happened a year ago. And no protest and no report and now he us a senator. They want to bring him down. God help us

Even if it happened 20yrs ago,the summary is that such a person can not be a lawmaker

OfficialAPCNig:
I hope this people would come out to protest when the need arises?

This is a sign that we are getting there gradually

KevinAlasco:
Just because he is a PDP member

U reason like a monkey
