Could there be any disassociation between being a Christian and going against anything Fulani?

The moment we stop ethnicity stigmatisation and condemnation the best for the growth of this Nation.

EzeCanada:
Hope you are not this dumb. This same people you reply work hand in hand with the perpetrators. They quickly come online to counter such claims. The goal is to sway public opinion to toe in line with their propaganda.

kerzhim:
This man and his purported stories of him escaping death, and in the end there will be no video or picture evidence to back it up. Nawa o!

zoghys:
Straight to my point, we don't want him to bring the north down here.

zoghys:
On the contrary you should be the one to go for brain check. The stupid naira Marley that you shamelessly promote has been nothing but nuisance to the already common sense "less" youth who glorifies all the vices the erudite professor adequately postulated. Yes, the problem did not start with this no brain loser tagged marlian prince, but he is an apostle of immorality with a new dimension and finesse. The dbanj and co you mentioned did with some measure of sensibility and respect for good, sonorous music. But that your thing called naira marlian is a curse, and if you are one of his marlian cult, in respective of your financia and social status, then you should go check your brain for leakages.

MumuCountry:
Fulani are not Ghanaians. Can you point to any specific place in Ghana where Fulanis is come from?

salam8528:
how do u expect me to believe mere propagandas? anyways keep deceiving ur folks with those propaganda, u will soon achieve what u wanted with those propagandas, i just pray it doesn't consume u. if u think u will rely on the media to make some ethnic group look bad then be ready for ur doom cos countless times the media has made the oppressor to look like the oppressed and the Verlaine an to look like the hero. be careful with the way u trust the media. just an advice okay.

zolajpower:
. I don't know what u saying about ghana hating them or like them all im saying Is that the igbos love there own when they are in the midst of non igbos . If they are among them selves they show the same hatred . The IM AKA "ONYE MADU " was created by Igbo which started d civil war . Go and read there was a country by chinua Achebe. He stated it all there how general Ironsi refused to execute the coup plotter which was an original arrangements that whoever masterminded a coup shall be executed ,but he chose to do the IM (ONYE MADU) calculation

Johnsghana:
Many excuses!

Fulani is the reason why the the Senators/House of rep members representing Imo or Enugu or Anambra have not asked for referendum on the floor of the National Assembly?

Go through the right channels first, hold your reps accountable and force your reps to ask for secession, if they ever will.

zolajpower:



Just like Sudan and the south of it , does anyone see what I'm seeing ? I know if Biafra is created the states and region around Biafra will suffer and there will be war that will be more deadlier than the south Sudan.



I have worked with all the three major tribes and those of the south are more tribalistic than north and west . The west will accommodate you if you speak the dialect so is the north, where I learnt the language for just two years . But the south with so much tribalism will tell u that you are not an orlu man/ woman ,go to your local govt ,you are not an imbise man / woman go to your local gov. But in the west and south you see them become head of a park , councillor ( infact the first councillor in Sabon gari Kano was an Igbo man ). The reason why in the whole of Nigeria they still practice the anti osu type of marriage even in the 21 century . So why will the north and west shake if the east go ?






Who's thinking what I'm thinking?

Johnsghana:
Now you are beginning to resort to vituperations, a sign that you are just arguing for the sake of it.

This conversation is not about me or Fela, it is about your inability to take responsibility for your own destiny and face your real enemy from within - the political class. No matter how long you wait for me, I won't be the one to further your secessionist cause. I will stand against the political class when the time is right.

You are the one that says everything is bad. Do your fair share of the lifting by simply asking for better governance from your ward level, start from some where.

You think Brexit was achieved on the pages of newspapers or on the internet? People went out into the streets, knocked on doors, canvassed for support. They paid price, it was not given to them on a platter of Gold. They forced their politicians to debate the matter in parliament by calling their constituency offices and meeting their MPs in townhall meetings. Has any of your representatives tendered a secession agenda before the national assembly? You think referendum was just announced on TV? People put effort into getting it done through the appropriate channels - their elected representatives. Go and hold your local leaders responsible for your referendum, let them gather enough support for your cause, then we will have the referendum.

Hold you leaders accountable in your village, town, constituency, LGA, Senatorial districts, state and then you can begin to look forward to better things. Start from somewhere.

The simple truth the political class has failed us all from North to South and they have sown seeds of discord that people like you keep peddling for them for free and furthering their stay in power.

Johnsghana:
Stop reading to argue, read to understand and not necessarily to agree.

You have a way with detracting conversations from the real purpose and I think it will be counter productive for you in other areas.

You don't want to do the work, yet you want the easy way out? Blaming everything but yourself or your kin. All these talk about what is bad and the many fallacious appellations will only go with whatever contraption you decide to leave Nigeria on if your dreams come true.

You can't face your councilor in your village yet you want to secede? What an irony!

Fela's struggle was not a secessionist one, it was one hinged on accountability and rule of law. And he was willing to pay the price because he knew the price wasn't going to be cheap. But, like you are doing now, many back then kept focusing on the divisionist and self serving politics of the time and they never supported Fela in the numbers that would have forced politicians to be accountable at the time. So the fight has been passed unto us.

My Aluta sujourn was what gave these insights into what the real problem is. I tell you what I went through. I was victimized by lecturers, school management, my results were withheld for years, I went to NYSC with my younger sister (whom I am 7 years older than)'s friends, we were tear gassed, arrested, ridiculed by colleagues, ended up with a 3.15 CGPA when I could have easily done 4.2 CGPA, spent 8 years getting a BSc degree. But you know what, I never regretted standing up for the collective good.
Since you asked about what it brought me, I will tell you. I am more open minded, I am loved by many of my comrades in struggle, I understand the power of strength in numbers. I understand the politics of fear, divide and rule. I am prepared for a future of liberation.

The size of the Nigerian military is 181,000 including the reserve forces, if we the over 180 million people of Nigeria stand by our votes, how many of us will they kill? How many of us can they silence?

Some of us are not afraid to stand up to oppression, we are not living on tables of the past, we are very well grounded in the realities of our time. We know where the problem lies and whose responsibility it is to liberate the people of Nigeria. We are coming!

I leave you to your fabled secession!

FYI: I didn't run out of Nigeria, I have never traveled to any country outside of Nigeria without it being for work related issues.

dukeprince50:
I don't know a damn about MURIC and CAN is CHRISTian association of Nigeria.

they are to imitate Christ, we are not perfect but we must all strive for perfection just like our lord and savior, we should not harbour hatred and malice, rather pray for our enemies.

I pray for my enemies because it will be in their presence that God will prepare my table.�

They shouldn't intercept the president or Chief Justice, rather the suffering Muslims.

dukeprince50:
Because Jesus did and even when he was about to die, he prayed for his persecutors, If a christlike organization like CAN can't at least defend both christians and muslims then I won't call the organization but a political group.

I know few Muslims are terrorists but what about those that are not? CAN should also intercept on their behalf.
After all Jesus visited the Saul.

Ebenezar2020:
CAN is a tool used by PDP to oppose the Presidency.
No more free money for CAN in this Buhari era and that's why they're always venting their frustration on the presidency.

dukeprince50:
defend who?
I do not get it, I am a christian.

or do u think anyone who wants equality is a muslim?

dukeprince50:
No Jesus christ defended everyone irrespective of tribe, he didn't play politics, CAN should follow suite, they should defend both Muslims and Christians, we are all thesame

Johnsghana:
For the umpteenth time, you have selective diverted the issues to another sphere entirely due to lack of comprehension of what is being discussed.

You conveniently ignored the crux of the matter, yet you veer off into the capabilities of the Nigerian Army, some talk about Scots and Royal Niger Company.

Can you compare the level of accountability Scottish MPs have to their people to what is obtainable in your state of origin? Will that change if you secede?

You say I've programed to protect an entity that will not work. If may ask by who? To what purpose?

BTW, I am not protecting anything, I am only saying that do more than just complain, act. Go to your village or LGA of origin, go and fight the corrupt politicians with their supporters there. This why I said as student activists, we didn't transfer out the school or go start or own university when we were being oppressed by school administrators, we fought back intellectually & physically, we identified their collaborators among students and lecturers, we fought them too.

There are many indigent Councilors, LG Chairmen, Members of State Assemblies, Members of House of Reps, Senators, and State Governors (not including commissioners and political appointees to state owned enterprises and agencies) that are being funded by Federal allocations in your place of origin. Mobilize your people to demand accountability from them. If you succeed, then you would have gotten more than enough resources to secede as whatever nation you so wish.

We cannot absolve ourselves of any blame as long as we continue to sit back and just complain. The political class is using us against each other.




FYI: If Nigeria breaks apart today it will create better sociopolitical & economic opportunities for me. As a Nigerian who lives outside of Nigeria, do you know how reliving it will be for me not to bear the stigma of being Nigerian due to the excesses of members of certain tribes?

Johnsghana:
What has anyone done about politicians and their supporters besides just talk about it like you said? It is easy to talk about the symptoms and ignore the cause.

On election day, people stand and watch while hoodlums hijack ballot boxes with collaboration from members of their communities. No matter where you go to in Nigeria, this is the same story.

Stand and fight to defend your votes. Identify the collaborators and deal with them. When I was a student union activist in Uni, we fought oppression and injustice not by asking to go and start our own university. We fought corrupt school administrators intellectually and physically, even in the face of Police intimidation and harassment. And yes we got results.

You can talk from now till tomorrow, our enemies are the same across the country. Politicians will continue to win as long as we keep falling for their politics of tribal sentiments by fighting each other and not them.

Wake up! I am not your enemy!

I disagree with many of your summation here. I would have loved to respond, but I am tired of this back and forth.

Osagyefo98:
Very commendable.

What is commendable that someone said your enemy is A and friend is B.

So one man now decides who your friends and enemies will be.

Ipob and useless statements are like 5 and 6.

Johnsghana:
Read to understand and not to argue!

You pick bits and pieces that suit your narrative without giving any substantial thoughts to the other parts of my comments.

Nigerians are patriotic, home and abroad. My comment about patriotism was to let you know that it might be difficult for you see the patriotism at home because it looks normal to those at home.

USSR was the most useless country, yet the US spent billions to ensure its break up? The current economic and military might of present day Russia was inherited from where?

First it was Stockholm Syndrome and now abusive relationships? I don't know where your love for strange/abusive relationships dynamics emanates from. However, you need to stop seeing everything from such convoluted lenses.

How am I excusing politicians? When I have said they are your problems and not regional or tribal boundaries. Also, having clearly stated that the anger/frustration should be channeled at politicians and their supporter, I find your summation unrelated to my comments.

I give up on you!

You just seem to take everything and turn it on its head. On matters as these, reasoning with folks such as you is unnecessary mental gymnastics.

To each his own!

BafanaBafana:
1. They are not hypocrites
2. They are not blind Buhari haters
3. They are not Islamophobists
4. They are definitely not infected with the victim and persecution mentality
Terrorists kill Muslims and Christians alike. Herdsmen kill Muslims and Christians alike, Bandits kill Muslims and Christians alike. As a matter of fact, more mosques have been bombed by terrorists than churches in this country. Nobody is happy about the security situation in the country, and nobody is happy about the way the government is handling the security of the country. But coming online to cry Islamization, fulani Jihad agenda etc etc kinda sounds stupid.

Johnsghana:


Did you read my comment? Or you where just looking for an opportunity to use the phrase "Stockholm Syndrome"? Also, you comment is all over the place.

If you did read my comment, you will understand that the Nigerian Political Class are the ones I have identified as our enemies and they are the ones we should be fighting and not ourselves. Breaking Nigeria into many parts will not suddenly make the other parts betters when you are still stuck with the same politicans as your tribal leaders. You would have just given them greater control, eg Robert Kigame of Rwanda.

Meanwhile, Glgo and read about the history of Russia and learn how the disintegration of USSR was just to the favor of the US and not necessarily for the betterment of the divided states. US would have never tried what the doing currently with Russia if it was still the USSR.

FYI: You need to meet Nigerians outside Nigeria that is when you will know how patriotic they are.
