Yes, we can say herdsmen because we see them moving around with AK 47s while security agencies look the other way. They gather and attack harmless villages at night finishing them all and then occupy their lands for grazing, go and ask Benue and Plateau people.

If you had the misfortune of coming across a group of violent, nomadic "herdsmen" wielding assault weapons such as the mind of FFK portrays and you herein perpetuate, you shall not live to tell tales.

Fulanis are in great numbers across Africa. If they're the terrorists you believe they're, countries like Mali, Senegal and Cameroon would've been all over the news fighting them. Half of the sahel would've been in flames.

The fact is some thieves and brigands attack people, and your infectious paranoia terms them herdsmen.

If they're herdsmen how come they attack and disappear when they've a bunch of slow cows to steer?

beejaay:
so because u detest the igbos, u are willing to throw fairness into the gutter..no wonder the country is finding it hard to grow with all this type of mindset on rampage..its true people get the govt they deserve.....smh

I can never hate the igbos as much as the igbos hate me.

Don't they call me an animal in a zoo deserving of death?

BraniacX:
And what of the victims of these fulani herdsmen, are they figments of FFK's imagination too

You can say fulani miscreants, or even criminals.
But not herdsmen.

And in every tribe and culture everyone has thugs and killers. Amongst FFK's yorubas are some undesirables, and don't even get me started on igbos.

My father was a herdsman, and he departed this world a saintly soul who never wished anyone no harm.

A man who is not credible cannot give evidence in any court of law.

God has never chosen a lunatic, a sodomist, or a liar to spread His message.

So yes, the messenger determines the legitimacy of the message.

You still haven't answered my question. Let me rephrase;

Kindly point out one false statement in the entire write up.

Thank you

Ok then:

1.

lokobyforch:
Mr. President, as one of your most loyal and faithful subjects who has nothing but the utmost respect for your person and your office

This is an outright lie. FFK insults and disrespects the person and office of the president, as he does several times in this same right up, such as

lokobyforch:
May the Lord have mercy on you and may He forgive you for your many sins and wicked ways

2.

lokobyforch:
war against terror is not something that any of us should play politics with

Where was FFK when GEJ and PEJ played politics with BH? Wasnt GEJ dancing hours after the Nyanya bomb blast? Didnt PEJ hold a very embarrassing TV drama exonerating her husband of the Chibok incident, and blaming northern 'saboteurs'?

3.

lokobyforch:
Like much of the rest of the world our country is going through hell at the hands of the jihadists and Islamist terrorists.

This is patently false. Much of the world is not "going through hell at the hands of terrorists." The only countries "going through hell" are Libya, some parts of Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Mali, Nigeria, and one or two skirmishes in Kenya, Cameroon, Chad, Niger. Syria is a civil war, Afghanistan is tribal war, Israel/Palestine is cultural war. Much of the world is doing just fine.

lokobyforch:
There is no gainsaying that we must all come to terms with the fact that the Islamic State in the Levant (ISIL), Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Al Shabab, Boko Haram, Hamas and another group that the internationally-respected Global Terror Index has described as the ”Fulani militants” (aka Fulani herdsmen) are nothing but bloodthirsty murderers and the lowest form of life. They are indeed the scum of the earth, the troublers of humanity and the vermin of hell.

A xenophobic claim rooted in fallacy. Fulani herdsmen roam all over West, Eastern, Northern and Central Africa with their livestock. We see them everyday tending their cattle. They dont wage jihads, nor attack any foreign or local soft targets beyond the occasional skirmishes with farmers. Neither NATO, the EU, the AU, the US or any other foreign entity is at war with them. The idea of a marauding, nihilistic fulani nomad remains the figment of FFK's drug-induced hallucinations

5.

lokobyforch:
Initially you claimed that your predecessor in office President Goodluck Jonathan never bought any arms and that instead he squandered and stole all the money that was appropriated for the procurement of arms.

This is a matter of semantics. That GEJ never bought much arms is indubitable; we've seen mutineering and fleeing soldiers, and the Dasuki saga is shedding light on the missing funds. The $1 billion GEJ secured as loan with the approval of NASS ended up part of the $2.1 billion Dasuki is presently singing about.


6.

lokobyforch:
Quite apart from your glaring doublespeak on this matter there was another issue which you ought to have raised with your highly esteemed and respected British guest. You forgot to tell him that his was one of the countries that not only refused to sell weapons to us during the course of this bitter conflict but that also helped to impose and enforce the international arms embargo on our country even though we are at war.

Why should it be obligatory for the Brits to sell us weapons? Were they under a treaty?

Should't FFK blame the long line of previous leaders who failed to build a thriving arms industry when the going was good? GEJ received more income than any president in the history of Nigeria, at a time oil rose to as high as $140 pb. Tell me, why was DICON (Defense Industry Corporation Of Nigeria) building furniture and salt rather than arms and ammo?


7.

lokobyforch:
Given the fact that the embargo was in place one wonders how we were supposed to procure arms.

You people should've done what PMB is doing and probe OBJ's tenure for cornering arms budgets and under-equipping the military.


8.

lokobyforch:
Despite the challenges and constraints President Jonathan faced, instead of losing any more ground, he rose to the occasion and retook no less than 22 local government areas and virtually pushed Boko Haram out of Nigeria. The only place that they occupied by the time the election took place was Sambisa forest.

Why didnt he rise to the occasion when the same 22 local governments were being taken over by BH? Oh, because "it's aboki killing aboki. Let's allow them ravage the zone. It'd help us with the elections in 2015".


9.

lokobyforch:
Jonathan achieved all this with those arms that he bought with raw cash.

Lies. Mercenaries did the job, while the cash was stranded in South Africa.

10.

lokobyforch:
Yet sadly since you were sworn in as President seven months ago you have lost some of those same local government areas that were earlier recovered and they are now back in the hands of the terrorists.

This is another blatant lie. Not a single territory has been won by BH beyond what they still occupy from the days of GEJ.

11.

lokobyforch:
Despite this you keep telling the international community and the Nigerian people that we are ”making progress” in the war against terror.

We are.

Not a single territory has been lost to BH. There are no footages of soldiers scampering for the borders of Cameroon. There are no videos of BH taking over towns and cities, riding their vehicles in jubilation and raising flags. In fact, Shekau has not released Episode 15 of his seasonal videos yet...

12.

lokobyforch:
As a matter of fact you went as far as to say that we had ”won the war” against Boko Haram and your Minister of Information, Mr. Lai Mohammed, echoed that grotesque mendacity and reiterated that sentiment by adding the words ”technically won” (whatever that may mean) to the equation.

Mr Muhammad was able to visit Maiduguri, Gwoza and various other liberated towns, something the previous C-inC and his fat, bloated Service chiefs couldnt do.


13.

lokobyforch:
Sadly, two days later, on Christmas day, in what can only be described as an eloquent response from the terrorists, scores of innocent civilians were killed by Boko Haram in Borno state and a whole community was burnt to the ground. Again on Sunday 27th of December Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, came under heavy attack from the terrorists. So much for having ”won the war against Boko Haram”, whether ”technically” or otherwise.

From grabbing territory circa 2014 to resorting helplkessly to attacking soft targets of opportunity? I'd say BH's capability has been severely degraded.

No one can prevent a sneak attack, as evidenced by the San Bernadino shootings in the US carried out by ISIS sympathizers, despite the mega billion dollar security apparatus of the US. How about the incidents in France?

I could go on and on...the entire article is fraught with lies, alarmist claims, spurious conjurings of a demented mind, and a curious desire to stoke the embers of hate between the Southwest and the Fulanis.

FFK thinks pulling a Fayose and going nuts with insults and false charges would doom the fledgling presidency of PMB.

But he's wrong. His antics are legendary, as his wailings are deserving of contemptuous silence and disregard.

I commend the PMB camp for ignoring the chatter of gnats and focusing on tasks at hand.

FFK is a drug-addled lunatic harboring panicky and delirious crackpot theories that make him seem crazier the louder he shouts.

yongnoble:
Typical behavior of a brainwashed fellow. Rather than address the issues he raised, you resort to insulting him. I challenge you to point out one thing, just one thing, in the entire write up that is false.

The biggest fallacy is believing FFK is fighting for the common man, or the victims of Boko Haram.

A great many of the victims of BH are the very Fulani herdsmen FFK vilifies at every opportunity.

Imagine if we grant them Biafra....

Its entire GDP would be based on drugs.

Colombia would envy Biafra, Land of the Rising Cocaine.

One would've given you the benefit of compassionate readership, but ever since OBJ mentioned how you only sing for food, an assertion proved during GEJ when you sang loudly from across the fence until GEJ invited you to feast on yams, one has to question your sincerity and learn to wave off your rants as the buzzing of a fly looking for feces.

Your political strategy of insulting your way into public office unfortunately is now falling on deaf ears.

When the territorial integrity of a country is threatened, courts are of secondary importance.

Kanu presented himself as a terrorist to the the Nigerian state, looking for arms to deprive others of their rights and lives.

If letting him go is detrimental to our security, then the DSS decision to hold him is in order, and any court that seeks to jeopardize life and limb for the sake of one terrorist's "rights" is enabling terrorism and treason.

I say lock him up in the deepest, darkest dungeon and melt the key.

I'm not quite sure the idoma people voted for you only for you to sit silent reflecting the lights and looking stupid.

We all played a part.

When everyone was busy dollarizing the country...school fees, house and shop rents, girlfriends...everything was paid for in dollars.

A friend bought my old MacBook Air and insisted in paying in dollars ($300) even though I've long since abandoned my Dom account. He was also paid for services rendered in dollars.

I was inconvenienced having to drive all the way to a BDC for it.

And then PDP came along and rubbished the naira with their dollar rain.

No country outside the U.S. worships the dollar like a national currency as Nigeria and our "overseas" mentality.

Buhari..... Please remove the CBN Governor..... he's the weakest link

I was speaking with a friend in CBN over the Governor and the dollar issue, and what he told me was that most of the looters in government do the folowing

1. Open multiple accounts in different banks using different people

2. Deposit funds in the newly opened accounts as well as the existing accounts of some paid cronies

3. Sponsor one or two people to travel abroad with a lot of ATM cards, where they'd withdraw the deposited funds and re-deposit same in foreign accounts on behalf of the looters. Sometimes they buy goods to import into Nigeria and sell off, thus laundering the money.

Others, like currency speculators, would withdraw the deposits abroad in dollars at the N199 official rate, and send same to Nigeria to sell at the black market for N270 or N280.

According to my friend, this was the reason the CBN reduced, or even totally disabled, Debit Card transactions abroad, including online payments as the looters also purchase goods online.

Of course, I'm not suggesting the man is competent. All i'm pointing out is that the dollar crunch is supposedly part of the war on corruption to prevent capital flight.

South East organised a coup to kill the leaders of other regions eg Tafawa Balewa, Akintola, Ahmadu Bello


The south eastern president of then refused to come back from his medical check up and vacation trip to UK and carribeans weeks before the coup.

The south eastern president of the parliament refused to swear in Dipcharima that was nominated by members of the cabinet to take over govt, after learning of the demise of Balewa.

Instead, the south eastern leader of the parliament chose to hand over to another south easterner, a military man in the nam of Aguiyi Ironsi.

We should honor a man that derailed our nascent democracy of then, by refusing to swear in another civilian prime minister, but rather chose to hand over to a military man from his ethnicity!!!! Wonders shall never end!!!!! These people always think others are as daft as them.

Infact his name should be blotted from the annals of history for his unpatriotic role he played in the history of this country. Just like Arthur Nzeribe and Daniel Kanu.

We can all see through their devilish machinations to hijack power instead of working for it.

In the corporate world and civil service, put a south easterner in charge of any unit, within a year he will flood everywhere with his kinsmen. If there is a change of leadership afterwards and those that were recruited through the back door are sacked, they will be crying their voice hoax about marginalisation and ethnic cleansing which they never saw when they were packing themselves alone into the department of such ministry.

OP, your Orizu was holding forte because the President in person of Zik was still alive somewhere in the carribeans rocking fresh booties while the country was on the edge. There cannot be 2 presidents at the same time.

Bunch of jokers

"Efficaciously"

No such word in English bro. Efficacious cannot be used as an adjective by adding "-ly".

Also, it's "trash" not "thrash" when you mean garbage, which you should know since you're from the gutter.

My word, you're one sloppy dumb motherfuccker, ain't you?

So much for being smart. You just come across some big words, and without so much as a thought to their meaning, you just pack 'em in your sentences thinking it makes you appear smart.

yanabazee:
According to wikipedia, Quantitative easing (QE) is a monetary policy used by central banks to stimulate the economy when standard monetary policy has become ineffective. A central bank implements quantitative easing by buying financial assets from commercial banks and other financial institutions, thus raising the prices of those financial assets and lowering their yield, while simultaneously increasing the money supply.


By flat currency I meant that US dollar doesn't have a specific commodity/goods that it is supporting or backing... It is a general currency and as well a standard currency for foreign exchange marketing.

For crying out loud, how do people comprehend things? Hmmmm.... I'm tired oh!

You're just trying to be clever by half.

1. You wrote QUALITATIVE EASING, not QUANTITATIVE EASING, so you mixed up the two. Go back and read your post.

2. It's FIAT currency, not FLAT currency.

You're the dumbass here with the comprehension problem.

yanabasee:
We are on the same page sirree...

I am looking at it from the currency perspective....

Now, the US dollar is a flat currency, meaning, it's not backed by any tangible commodity. From the implementation of the qualitative easing measures by the US Central Bank more money is created for borrowing, which makes the law of supply and demands to step in. Making the existing more less valued..

This law of supply and demand defines the effect that the availability of a particular product and the desire (or demand) for that product has on price

Generally, if there is a low supply and a high demand, the price will be high. In contrast, the greater the supply and the lower the demand, the lower the price will be. This is as a result of monetary policy.

You've got it in reverse: Qualitative Easing actually means less liquid.

Also, you meant the dollar is "fiat currency", not "flat currency". A typo maybe.
