What happened to taking a walk !!



.

All this double talk is creating more confusion

Just confirm Nuhu Ribadu's narrative that you can't control the mercenaries you once provided due to inherent greed and misdirected funds!!


These leaders should be held to account by not only Nigerians from the Middle belt southwards whose blood have been shed unnecessarily but also law-abiding hausa and fulani people who have been caught in skirmishes whilst going about their legitimate business due to the treachery of their leaders!

NUHU RIBADU, FORMER EFCC BOSS,
WROTE-;
Bandits”” were created by Gen Mohammadu Buhari Rtd to oust Jonathan
Bandits are not Boko Haram nor Herdsmen
It all started in April 2014 when Mohammadu Buhari assembled his ardent supporters, promoters and strategists to determine how to remove President Jonathan Goodluck. Prominent amongst them were El-Rufai, Gen Danbazo (Rtd)……..
A decision was reached to consult Miyatti Allah cattle breeders association for assistance to boot Jonathan Goodluck out of office. Consequently, the National Chairman of Miyatti Allah was engaged to bring in foreign mercenaries. Within a month, 2,000 Fulani fighters were brought in from Mali, Senegal, Niger Republic, Chad, Libya to name but a few. Further 4,000 fighters were stationed in Niger and Chad on standby.
On arrival, they were assembled in Kaduna under the sponsorship of El Rufai and were addressed by various Northern Leaders including the Sultan of Sokoto, Gen. Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar (Rtd) etc.
Specifically, Gen Buhari in his address told the fighters that “the British handed Nigeria over to us the Fulanis at independence. The land (Nigeria) belongs to us. We must reclaim what belongs to us.”He added that at the event that Jonathan Goodluck worn the election, the Fulani machinery must fight until they regain control of the country. He assured them that the Nigerian Army was behind them.
The mercenaries received initial training from the Commandant of the Nigerian Defence Academy and were sent to 6 camps in Ekiti State, Benue State, Katsina State, Kaduna State, Zamfara State and Borno State.
In the camps, brand new pick-up trucks, generators etc were provided them. Nigerian Airforce helicopters were used to provide them essential supplies like food, water, drinks and even arms and ammunitions.
Evidently, Jonathan Goodluck lost the election in 2015 through a well orchestrated election organised by INEC under a Fulani Chairman, Professor Jega. Gen Buhari (Rtd) was sworn in as the president. This saw the emergence of a Fulani president through a dodgy election hence the planned violent war was averted.
Contrary to expectation, the mercenaries in the various camps were abandoned, no more food and essential supplies. The relationship between Miyatti Allah, El Rufai (now a State Governor) and Dambazo broke down. El Rufai arrogantly declared that they were not needed anymore and they should go back. Consequently, the killings in Kaduna commenced as a warning to El Rufai but it did not bother him. He declared that he had paid the people carrying out the killings and they did not want to stop. The Nigerian police did not bother to call Gov El Rufai to give further clarification on this.
The Mercenary at the various camps decided to go about to find food for themselves by robbing people, going into farm lands and kidnapping. Miyatti Allah made several efforts to contact El Rufai and Dambazzo to appeal to them to provide money to return these fighters to where they came from. All efforts proved abortive. The mercenaries at this point vacated their organised camps and took to crime.
The criminal gangs which emanated from these mercenaries were at this point described as “Bandits” in order to differentiate them from other notorious terrorist groups like Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram etc.
Following the untold destruction and killings which the Bandits carried out especially in Katsina and Zamfara, the Northern leaders in conjunction with officials of Nigerian Government requested Miyatti Allah to intervene and remove the Bandits from Nigeria. Miyatti Allah returned demanding 150 Billion Naira to settle the Bandits and evacuate them. The Government turned the offer down and restricted itself to the payment of 100 Billion Naira.
Shamefully Godwin Emefiele raised 100 Billion Naira for the settlement as a condition for his re-appointment as the Central bank Governor.
Miyatti Allah collected the money and purportedly distributed it but nothing changed.
In a bid to control the damage, President Buhari directed that RUGA initiative be setup to create colonies for these fighters in every state in Nigeria.
My questions are:
1. Should Nigerian communities accommodate these criminal elements?
2. Why has El Rufai not been called to clean up the mess he created?
3. Does this explain the President Buhari’s silence?
4.Is this conspiracy of the North gone wrong?
Nigerians think for yourselves?

If this report is true... Bandits should engage with their gangmasters and kindly return to their base or become law-abiding economic migrants engaging in legitimate work. Why kill or kidnap innocent people?

No concessions, no RUGA!! Will only let this menace fester!!


To those organisers or purveyors of war or civil unrest,........... My thoughts are best left within


God bless Nigeria
The night is over!!
Welcome to a new glorious dawn!!

Monogamy:
How many people are your dogs ready to bite?

After biting, what next?

Bark not bite....

There's a difference..

Dogs slept......

whilst the middle belt was undergoing systematic ethnic cleansing!

Whilst non-moslems in the North were slaughtered, beheaded over trivial fights

Whilst fulani herdsmen aka bandits started ravaging southwards with kidnapping of high profile victims alongside wanton destruction

Whilst reports of movement of large numbers of unknown persons with weapons of war were transported to southern cities during nationwide lockdown/ transport curfews.

The silence from seats of power was deafening, resoundingly deafening.......

Then rather paltry excuses were made for horrifying deaths of women and children, of devastating loss of investment and income for agricentrepreneurs, of inhumane slaughter of honest diasporeans who had returned to give back to their communities through a dint of hardwork


The dogs continued to lay....


Till recurrent verified reports of similar ethnic cleansing--clash m.o being administered in the south.

Now there's widespread barking.. To raise awareness, consciousness..

It's no longer faraway lands but right in our backyard.. Ikota Villa imbroglio is an example.


So be watchful, be careful and stand guard!!

.

If verified

RIP to the gallant soldiers.

Kudos to the army for this successful op

Monogamy:
You people should let the sleeping dog lies..

Both party can only narrate what suits them..

The dogs are no longer sleeping..

Rather barking loudly!

THE IBADAN ETHNIC CLASH, FACTS AND FIGURES.

EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT:

By Obo Ekpeyong

It's so painful how people in authority are desperate to distort facts. When we run away from truth, we shall be hunted by falshood.

I'm an eye witness. I have lived in Ibadan since 1970, two years after I was born and brought to this city after the war

My first language is Yoruba. Thanks to my parents that I speak Efik. I find the Yoruba liberal, accommodating and considerate. This is why this city has been very peaceful for a long time. The city has only been jolted into violence by politics and elections

However, I must say that the Fulani in Ibadan traditional over step their bounds. They don't live with the locals.They create their own Ungoverned Territories where they do what ever they like. If you quarrel with one of them, some 15 people will descend on you. I have seen women beaten in the face of their husbands and children by FULANI mob They are always armed with a knife. In recent times, They form the majority of Okada riders. They have no respect for traffic rules. They have a sense of ownership over the city.

When you quarrel with anyone of them, they get you arrested by army from the barracks mainly their kinsmen. When you report any assault to police, their brothers in the barracks will come and threaten police to release him

This last incidence, a few meters from where I live, the buttocks of a pregnant woman was slapped by a notorious FULANI boy well known in Shasa. He does that frequently. The woman protested. He slapped the woman and removed her hairtie-GELE. As this was going on, his colleagues and even FULANI elders in the market were hailing him. The woman started crying. The next thing he did was to begin to stripe the woman naked, fumbling with her breast. As the woman protested, vehemently, she was already half naked. This hooligan started to beat her with the boot of a broom. The elderly Yoruba people were pleading but he was insulting them. She hit the pregnancy of the woman. She started bleeding.The few Yoruba elders started pleading but he insulted them. The woman was helpless The boy then said the Yoruba should go and call Olubadan before he could release the traumatised lady

It was when he pulled the woman to the ground that Yoruba youths were forced to mobilise and attacked. Instead of accepting guilt, the Fulani mobilised and attacked every Yoruba in sight.

When I read one Aisha Yusuff talking of END HAUSA MASSACRE, I now understand Nigeria better. Where did she get the word MASSACRE? How many people were killed? Both Yoruba and Hausa or FULANI were killed in Ibadan. Total is less than 5 people. That is not up to the number of Southerners and Middle Belt people killed in core North everyday for the past decades.

I thought she was a woman and activist. She saw nothing wrong in all the killings, rape, murder going on but quick to launch END Hausa killing. This is crazy hypocrisy MUST stop

It would appear that "massacre" is the most abused word in recent times !!

It was liberally used with the Lekki saga despite verified contrary widely available evidence.. Now its been used to stigmatise and politicise the Ibadan communal clash.. As I wouldn't justify calling it a riot.


The desire to distort or at the best over-exaggerate in a bid to sensationalise every news is the new scourge that must be resisted!!

Why are women so insecure about everything. This has led them into incessant pursuit of fake lifestyle.

Fake hair,

Fake nails
Fake breasts,
Fake bum,
Fake height,

Fake eye lashes,
Fake orgasm,
Fake emotions,
Fake relationships,

Everything about them is fake.

This is in response to
Fake love
Fake rich life - wallets, cars, "shine"
Fake multiple relationships - commitment
Fake beards

Equal and proportional response!!

If this is verified....


This is rather deplorable and must be condemned strongly by every law-abiding Nigerian...

I'd like to see certain people (civil rights activists and politicians alike) talk about this wanton indiscriminate and criminal blood-shed.

Otherwise Sunday Igboho may need to send an envoy.... Seems to be the re-set button


RIP to the deceased.

Penguin2:
1. They've seen they do not possess the monopoly of violence and they've come begging.

2. The fools know that if they start a civil war now, they will be alone.

3. Because the SW, SS, SE and MB now see them as common enemy that must be crushed.

4. Them for do rubbish make I know how their zoo army will be fighting Boko Haram in the North, ESN in SE and Sunday Igboho in SW.

Some corrections...

1...They might appear to come begging but I won't trust those guys with a long spoon... Might be to deliver some ultimatum of sorts.. Here I agree with the gentleman that GSM might be better positioned to have Aketi and the Ogun state gov alongside, after all the most devastation has occurred in those states.. Fayemi should keep welcoming them


2.. They are not alone.. They've got mercenaries from Futa Jallon to Libya who are for rent to help alongside the Fulani herdsmen.. Surprisingly BH may also provide help in order to buy itself some legitimacy at the bargaining table - - Syria is a case study--1.... It becomes..

as my enemy is your enemy, I'm your friend.

3... I'd be cautious with that narrative.. Crushed No but driven out to the Core North, yes.. Then maybe they are more likely to respect boundaries. And live peaceably with host communities.

4.... Answered with No. 2 response..


The question that resounds within..

Ghana chase you comot, Benin chase you comot, Togo has stylishly done so.....
When will they look inwards and ask where they went wrong

Prussian:
I can see the Governor of Zamfara is also there.
Maybe the lives of Northerners in Zamfara are worthless and useless that they kill dozens of them every week without any visit from Northern Governors. But when they get killed down south, they come running down.

They have their agenda

If there should be a mass exodus back home, these states which are commercially preferable, are not prepared for a Tsunami that would ensue.. Moreso with a down ridden economy alongside Covid.

It's better to calm things down than to have to deal with IDPs all over town.

There's economic sense in their visit.

This is also in addition to the fact that they are largely moderates not fanatical and lacking in knowledge and decorum as some others.


Lastly, I still won't forget about Taqqiya!!

Pandsho:
well there's always sides to every stories, my dad worked in the North for several years, he was good to the locals, employed some of them. due to his work, he has to shuttle between kano and Lagos every weekend by air, whenever there's an ethnic clash back there, the locals gather up and stay at the junction of their street and whenever the blood thirsty ones come, they just tell them they have handled their own street so they can move on. nevertheless, my dad still had a nice and licenced gun, at least if he goes, he needs to take down as many as possible. Northerners are not bad. once you have their trust, they never breach. in btw, i am from the south west

Yours appears to be the exception



.

Bornu1stSon:
They will definitely be released. Who born u to keep my brothers in Prison? I ask again, Who born u to do so in Yoruba land?

This is the irritating attitude that we speak against, as a country..

When evil is done, punishment should follow regardless of race, tribe or social class. Not claim some protection



On this matter, I put it to you that these men will spend their last days in prison.

.

Too little very late....


But the fulani herdsmen need to self-reflect, if their leaders don't. As they need ready bodies to aid and arm for election-rigging.

You're kicked out of Ghana, then Benin and now out of SW, SE and possibly SS.. According to your MACBAN man, Alhaji Alhassan..

Na only you come market!!


.

A shame

Odua1stson:
. All those saying they will bar foreign herders from entering Nigeria are just playing to the gallery because if they are aware of the ECOWAS Protocols, they would know they cannot chase them away.


“Our number has increased recently because of the tension in Ghana and Benin Republics. The ones in Benin Republic have integrated with the Yoruba....

2 questions here...

To Alhaji Alhassan.... What makes lawful co-existence with host communities such a problem with the fulani herdsmen ... For the Ghanaians and the Beninoise to have kicked you out of their countries and now SW and SE - - it only shows that your group is the problem.


To the legal luminaries within, what's the Ecowas mandate please.. Thank you!
Would like to have a clear understanding as comprehension and application seems to be a challenge for some.

Some interesting statements here

-Son of a herbie
-Clashes occur every 4 months for the past 3 years
-Confidence, a rather prophetic name
-And he can't be subdued by the Police
-Clashes are contained in the hood... So no involvement outside of a certain geographical location....


Can you see what I see,

The hate of Yoruba is towards Fulani's but cuz Fulanis don't speak their language in public and have adopted to speaking Hausa y'all feel anything that resembles Fulani in language or look should be killed. it's so wrong to do

I've got lotta Yoruba friends here to but killing anything perceived to be Hausa is a wrong thing to do, very wrong. let's say an Hausa man(which I'm not sure) kills a Yoruba man apprehend him and either hand him over to the police or Amotekun. like isn't that what or how things are done in a Civil society??

The miseducation can't be helped at this point. So Hausa and Fulani will be seen as 1, more so if the behaviour is predatory as it was in Sasa.

The authorities/forces colluding with the Northern settlers have helped to inflame the situation. The Police stood helplessly............ and reports suggest the GOC of the nearby barracks dealt with the Yoruba chaps, despite the initial provocation and loss of lives.....

Then members of the Presidency - Garba S and some state Governor(s) who should know better, abuse their political positions/ offices and further incinerate the glowing embers of an ethnic imbroglio..


This I believe was the last straw.



.

tyup:
No matter the provocation no Hausa would take to attack a law abiding Yoruba or Igbo here in the North and I can tell you categorically no Yoruba is scared of being attacked at the moment. Same people calling Northerners Backward and illiterates yet same people practically teaching y'all what being sensible and being civil is all bout

Wakili still parades Oyo community with his killer men yet no Yeroba even their audio warlord Igboho despite always wearing parachute size dresses on camera can't do nothing bout him or defend themselves against criminal herders. but always get hard on when it comes to attacking armless people going bout their normal lives. Bunch of foolish Cowards.

I watched that video and was rather very uncomfortable--feeling quite sorry for the unintended victims.

The innocent are somewhat suffering for a few..



But what are you Arewa youth doing about exposing the vermin - herdsmen--bandits - reverted BH men and apologists, outside of your region I've seen Arewas1stson's picture with the vigilante in Borno.

You can see different ethnic groups speak out or condemn when the bad eggs are exposed..

From ritual killings, to narc.otics to human slavery and prostitution... But the silence from your end is rather deafening.. It adds to the narrative that you all are willing accessories....

This is not an emotive post-- so no insults are warranted - - - but really seeking to find a common ground.

Buhari Vows to Deal Decisively With ESN, Igboho, Others Over Quit Notice, Ethnic Violence

President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed that his government will protect all religious and ethnic groups, whether majority or minority in line with its responsibility under the constitution, IgbereTV reports.

In a reaction to reports of breakout of violence in some parts of the country by some ethnic and sectional groups, President Buhari warned that the government will not allow any ethnic or religious group to stoke up hatred and violence against other groups.

In a press statement sent to IgbereTV by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), the President condemned such violence and gave assurance that his government will act decisively to stop the spread of any such violence.

He appealed to religious and traditional leaders as well governors and other elected leaders across the country to join hands with the Federal Government to ensure that communities in their domain are not splintered along ethnic and other primordial lines.

With due respect, Mr president...

Very little - microscopic.... too late!!!


Deal swiftly and decisively against the fulani herdsmen aka bandits aka BH version 2.0

Send aid to those displaced from their communities in the NE, North Central

Condemn racial cleansing in the North that's gone unabated for years and decades.. The Chibok girls were the 1st publicised case but not the first

My brother, it's d same thing we are saying. Based on ur comment that "its only a live animal that goes back to fight another day...", can u pls tell me how many times d "animal" has gone back to fight? Fella wrote suffering & smiling years ago. That song still holds true today.

U are entitled to good roads but d govt won't give it to u. U refused to challenge them because "wisdom is profitable to direct" and because "its only a live animal that goes back to fight another day...".

U are entitled to excellent healthcare but d govt refuses to give it to u. u choose not to challenge d govt because "wisdom is profitable to direct" and because "its only a live animal that goes back to fight another day...".

U are entitled to constant power but d govt refuses to give it to u. u choose not to challenge d govt because "wisdom is profitable to direct" and because "its only a live animal that goes back to fight another day...".

Those in govt steal and loot in billions. u choose not to challenge d govt because "wisdom is profitable to direct" and because "its only a live animal that goes back to fight another day...".

U are entitled to social welfare but d govt refuses to give it to u. u choose not to challenge d govt because "wisdom is profitable to direct" and because "its only a live animal that goes back to fight another day...".

U are threatened by d govt to go register for NIN in d midst of a pandemic. u choose not to challenge d govt because "wisdom is profitable to direct" and because "its only a live animal that goes back to fight another day...".

D list is endless. Fella was right... suffering & smiling. Let me add, suffering, complaining and smiling

Bros, I understand your frustration but e get as we dey do these things.

We as a people have to wake up to the fact that not all things are obtained by "gbosgbasgbos"...
Some can be gotten through agitation but not all.

Deciding which to challenge is situation specific and open to change on a daily basis.

I maintain that those ladies being alive after that incident testify that they still have sth to contribute to on planet Earth............ otherwise headlines if any, would have been..... "innocent bystanders die in shootout between robbers or better still kidnappers"....

Yes let's challenge but in a way that is safe and forward looking.

The young miss is only stating that its only a live animal that goes back to fight another day..

A Naija armed irate policeman with several equally armed police colleagues will not know when there's accidental discharge of bullets!!



A recording of the incident and a letter of complaint with the officer's name might be safer........ . than arguing with 10-11 hot-headed armed police officers amongst spitting, high screeched, curse- producing, gele- shaking, intermittently prancing, ata-rodo women who are constantly performing the komakuru komaga gymnastics.
