Politics / Re: Fulani Herdsmen Obstruct Okorocha And Journalists In Owerri by USB4: 12:16pm On May 08, 2016
WHY ANY GRAZING BILL MUST BE STOPPED:-

The stoy is told of how King Yunfa, the Hausa Sarkin in Gobir (now called Sokoto) hosted a Fulani immigrant called Usman Dan Fodiyo and his group in February 1804, as a result of this and since 1808 the whole of the northern region lost its kingdoms and were replaced by Fulani emirates.

King Yunfa is said to have been killed in 1808 and the Fulani warrior (Usman Dan Fodiyo) established Sokoto caliphate, making himself Sultan.

Gradually, other Hausa kingdoms were pillaged and taken over by the Fulani emirs. The ethnic groups in the core north were the first victims of Fulani imperialism, a venture that occurred because the people were given access to grazing land as a result of the hospitality of the hosts.

They however failed to overrun the Bornu kingdom, so the Shehu of Bornu remains paramount till today!

The Afonja dynasty compromised by allowing a Fulani warrior known as Janta Alimi to settle in Ilorin, the Fulani guerrillas killed Afonja in 1824

And Ilorin, a Yoruba town under the Oyo empire, fell into Fulani hands, becoming an emirate under Sokoto caliphate till today! Even the attempts of the O'odua People's Congress (OPC) to revert to status quo ante and crown an Onilorin of Ilorin became an exercise in futility.

The Yoruba warriors got wise and defeated the Fulani jihadists in Osogbo in 1840, if this didn't happen there would most likely have been Fulani "emirs" as rulers in Oyo Alaafin, Ibadan, Owo, Osogbo, Ede, Ado, and Igede Ekiti today!

If the Bini Kingdom did not fight and repel the jihadists, they would have penetrated the Edo/Delta region beyond the present day Edo North Senatorial District which gave in and allowed the jihadists to overrun & islamize them.

Along with some ignorant folk most of them are now angling for grazing areas and a corridor through the entire federation. These grazing areas will in future become Fulani settlements, later commmunities and finally local government areas with elected officials.
If you think I am being alarmist look towards the once beautiful and serene Middle Belt state of Plateau.

The exact same thing happened in Jos.

Therefore, it will not be farfetched to conclude that the Fulani herdsmen are pawns in an agenda to overrun all towns in Nigeria! So that we will have emirs in Owerri, Enugu, Benin, Agatu, Abeokuta and other towns where FG creates "grazing reserves" for Fulani herdsmen!

If Yunfa didn't accommodate Fodio and his warlike immigrants from Futatoro, Hausa sarkins would be ruling today in the north!

And if Afonja didn't conspire with Alimi, a Yoruba kingdom would not have been ruled by Alimi's offspring till today!

It is a subtle continuation of the 1804 Fulani jihad by the fully-armed and protected Fulani herdsmen with an age-old agenda to overrun and Islamize the whole of Nigeria very quickly.

I will end this with what someone rightly said- "The grazing bill is not an attempt to solve the problem, it's a subterfuge to progress the agenda"

It's an age-old political strategy really- ..create a problem, come up with a "solution" that advances the cause, and then give it a legal backing.
Make it look like a win-win situation.

Be as wise as serpents....
Sports / Re: I Shall Return - Enyeama by USB4: 2:00pm On Oct 12, 2015
Enyeama thought when he leaves, supper eagles will be death. I have said it times without number that there must be a healthy competition in every position in the Nigeria national team. then and only then will players like Enyeama who feel they are gods can be called to order. He just made a hasty decision and now coming back will be shameful and the fame he once had will not be there. I keep telling us that no body is indispensable as far as the national team is concern. That goalie that Sunday paraded shall be a very good competitor for Enema if he feels he can apologize and come back. However, this should serve as a warning to others who'll want to sabotage the effort of this coach. A team as it's called is made of different individuals, therefore, let us all join hand and rebuild a national team that can be compared to that of 1994. God bless Nigeria!
Politics / Re: James Ibori: Alameiseigha Built Just One House. Was Never Corrupt by USB4: 1:23pm On Oct 12, 2015
Just look at who the judge is. Imagine that criminal that drained delta state and handed it over to his brother to milk the remaining juice still has mouth to talk from prison. In fact, more year with hard labour should be added to his sentence. Anyway, thief Initial is talking from experience, since thief dey get different level....some na pick pocket, some na petty thief, armed robbers , kidnappers e.t.c. Ibori level dey higher than Alameiseigha, .
Sports / Re: Sunday Oliseh's Tweet Over Super Eagles Victory Against Cameroun by USB4: 12:24pm On Oct 12, 2015
no one person is too big or important for the entire country, Nigeria. Before enyeama was others like peter rufai, ike the present goal keeper trainer and many others. Therefore, if Enyeama feels he cannot respect his boss in the national team and I knw that he doesn't have the got to challenge his boss at France, he should go and never ever return to the supper eagles of Nigeria. I think it'd time we move fforward without anyone holding us backwards. We shall get to the top again!
Sports / Re: Oliseh Vs. Enyeama And The Impending Doom by USB4: 8:57pm On Oct 07, 2015
why is some pple branding eyeama as the messiah? I think it's time to bring sanity to the supper egles of Nigeria and let those who feel Nigeria cannit do without them, go to hell. if you look back to the time of peter rufai when there was real competition as to getting a shirt in the super eagle, it was nit like this. A team manager invite u to camp and all u do is lackadaisical aattitude towards ur country. sometimes, I ask my self if they really put up this attitude in thEUR respective clubs and the answer is no. I remember , just after the world cup at Brazil, enyama threatened Nigeria with his retirement frm the national team,. he was able to do this because there was no real competition for him. Is enyama older than ike casilas, buffon or Brazilian goal keeper that he wanted to quit when he knew Nigeria has not got a real replacement for him? He now realized that getting a shirt will not be business as usual, that's why he's taking it serious now.

I hope we've not forgotten when he pulled out of one invitation given him lwat year wwithout reason and we lost the match. he only said "he has personal issues to settle". During that time he was ssettling personal issue which made him not to honour the invitation, was he not participating in club assignment?

My people, the time to return to take the country serious is now. either you are in or out. there is no longer the sacred cow.
No single player is bigger than the entire team. Also, leadership is not by size. you don't need to fight a referee before you represent your team ......otherwise, David wouldn't have been king over Israel.
