The Gross influx of Fulani herdsmen presently and now calls for the sharing of this history.
By John T

All JUKUNS SHOULD READ THIS.

The story is told of how King Yunfa, the Hausa Sarki 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 and Jukun kingdoms , so the Shehu of Bornu and Aku Uka 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,Wukari, 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 sarkis 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....

Don't pretend as if you don't know.

Pretend? Know what?
Quite assuming.

No I don't.

Kindly tell me what I am supposed to know.

Those days everything was cheap and that little tuition fee he collected that time would have been a huge sum today. Even my dad bought his brand new 404 little above #2k then.

Nothing was cheap.
Everything is relative to its time.

Penalty82:
"...the school fees wasn't out reach of the average Nigerian
family".



Why didn't he make it free, if he can collect little amount for school fees then, what makes you think he wouldn't have collected huge amount for school fees today considering the economic situations of the present day?.

Erroneous
Go by what is. What we know. What happened.
Not what Tai would have done were it today.
That we'll never know. So why bother with that?
If at all, access a fella by antecedents.

LIAR. Ajayi crowther we know. Abeg who are you or that ifatola fellow? Don't distort history abeg. Crowther and his grandson herbert macaulay helped early nigeria in no small measure. You should be grateful to them, rather than denigrate their memory.

Kindly state how they "helped early Nigeria in no small measure"

We just may have a "Hitler"

Rwanda leads Africa.

damosky12:
Really? So its the fact that something is coming from your faulty reason is what makes it true.
Learn to "discern"? with what?
Well, the scriptures are, for me, God's written words to and for us. You undermine it at your peril.

2 Timothy 3:16
[16]All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:




Kindly show how all the popular pastors in the country couldn't have been called by God and give your pellucid scriptural bases.

Why bother...?
Guess it's a brick wall here.

"If..."

Talk Talk talk talk...

Just do it!

damosky12:
You be God PA?

Jeremiah 3:15
[15]And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.


Pastors are gifts to the church.
The devil, at every age, tries to strike the Shepherds just as in the days of Jesus.

Matthew 26:31
[31]Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

We are unmoved.

Without flaunting emotionss, facth usomething is in the bible doesn't make it applicable to these wolves in sheep clothing.
Learn to discern.

By their fruits you know them.
Now kindly name someone in Nigeria who is beyond reasonable doubt called by God.

Freeze talkie talkie like a parrot! Whether the issue has been verified or not, he must sha put mouth. The internet doesn't forget. What do you want your children to grow up and read about you? Be wise. Leave men of God alone. They're answerable to God who has called them. I say again : Be wise.

God hasn't called NOBODY in Nigeria.

Firefire:
fast fast

If peace loving IPOB who has never killed anyone could be proscribed and labelled terrorist, Mohomodu Buhary should immediately proscribed the Fulani Herdsmen and tag them terrorist with immediate alacrity.

Failure do that "with immediate effect and automatic alacrity" will not only identify him as a terrorist but as a sitting president, the greatest threat to national security.
The kingpin.

Hopefully the newly acquired 10 war planes from USA will not be used to exterminate the south.

No national carrier, no Nigeria airways.

Enemy number one!

Truth of the matter is the south/ west and east are weak and cowards.

When USA was attacked 9/11, did Bush make a warning address to the suspects? No!
Americarightfully took it as an act of war, and took the war to the enemies.
That's the way to go.

Somebody bring you shitt, your response should be ten folds, not a warning address and crying to a wheelbarrow regime.

Its high time the tag of west, south, south south, east, biafra STOPS.
See and Identify as SOUTH.

When Hausa/ fulanis are tagged, they are called the north. It may appear insignificant but it's key.

Divide and rule.

There should be henceforth only south in unity.
Do this a nd the north will be deflated significantly.uhy
The west, Midwest and east must all become one and act as one, else they may systematically exploit the weapon of fear, annihilate and enslave the south, east and west.

The international community like happened in Rwanda will gladly come pick the massacred bodies on the streets, while dancing to the music of north.

Arise south, what affects one affects all.
Self defense is paramount.
Wait for no government.
But one life to live.

Don't be caught napping!!!

May our children not in future read in history class...

"The Nigeria/ Fulani Civil War"

Get up, stand up for your life,
Get up, stand up.
Don't give up the fight!

this is the height of wickedness, Nigeria is gradually turning to a lawless country.

It's been lawless since October 1 1960.

I am not a security expert but let's reason along.

I am having doubts over the authenticity of these murderers we tag "Fulani Herdsmen ".

The average Fulani herdsman is broke, dirty and a nomad.

He travels several kilometers cutting across large cities looking pale and sickly.

Most times he has only a stick, a small bag, tattered dress on a worn out canvass with his hat bigger than his entire body frame.

They are not bigger in number than their cattle.

One man can lead over 100 cattles!

Then pause and look at the gory pictures we see on the net.

The ferocity and vicious style of the attacks.

The number of casualties.

The spate of the violence with properties amongst the human casualties.

Could these disasters be caused by these pale looking Fulani herdsmen nomads I know?

How many are they in an area?

Do they have residential areas in the victim communities?

How could they easily overwhelm a whole community easily without stress, a community having able bodied men, where one attack can spread for others to take cover and be alert?

Where do they keep their weapons prior to the attack?

Don't you think it could be an alibi to shield and distract us from the real murderers?

I think we have not been told the full story !!!

A. Aym

Whatever name they are branded,
There are terroristic murderers on the rampage that MUST be brought to a screeching HALT by ALL means necessary!

It will help to strongly reach out to the international community for help before Rwanda repeat in Nigeria.

Nigerians home and abroad should protest and camp outside foreign embassies, UN offices,
OAU offices, etc, etc until there's laudable foreign intervention to END these MENACE TO SOCIETY.

it's glaring and obvious this regime is blatantly insensitive, irresponsible and irresponsive to the fulani jihadists ethnic cleansing terrorism.

Enough wailing and talks under the breath.

Don't be caught napping.
Don't wait till these blood thirsty vampires over run the whole south. They keep advancing and notching southward.

But one life to live.
The mosaic law of an eye for an eye needs reawakening.

Defend, Defend, Defend thyself.

A stitch in time saves nine.

With these many juvenile comments on NL,
Won't be a bad idea from 2018 to have a minimum age requirement of 21years to register on NL.

More decorum, etc is needed.

With God all things are possible.

Archvillain of human rights archvillains escapes sanctions

President targets Christians, Biafrans, other indigenous people

By Bruce Fein and Aloy Ejimakor - - Tuesday, January 2, 2018
ANALYSIS/OPINION:

On Dec. 21, President Trump sanctioned 52 human rights archvillains under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (GMHRAA). It empowers the president to deny visas and freeze the assets of foreign officials complicit in extrajudicial killings, torture or other gross violations of internationally recognized human rights to retaliate against persons for seeking to expose government lawlessness or to exercise internationally recognized freedoms, including freedoms of religion, expression, association, and assembly and the rights to a fair trial and democratic elections.

Mr. Trump erred in refraining from sanctioning the archvillain of human rights archvillains: Nigeria’s President and former military dictator Muhammadu Buhari.

Among other things, he has turned Nigeria into a Gethsemane or Golgotha for 50 million Biafran Christians. They are more endangered in Mr. Buhari’s Nigeria than in any other country in the world.

Mr. Trump affirmed earlier to Christian Broadcasting Network anchor David Brody that helping Christians abroad was a “priority.” Last May 11, speaking at the World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians, Vice President Mike Pence singled out Nigeria as a nation where Christians “confront intimidation, forced conversion, abuse, assault, and worse” for practicing their religion.

Mr. Buhari has welcomed sharia law in twelve northern Nigerian states. According to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, “Christian leaders in the northern states continued to report to USCIRF that state governments discriminate against Christians by denying applications to build or repair places of worship, access to education, representation in government bodies, and employment. They also reported that Christian girls are abducted by Muslim men to be brides.”

The USIRF recommended that Nigeria be listed as a Country of Particular Concern; and, that President Trump invoke the GMHRAA to sanction Nigerian officials complicit in violations of religious freedom.

‌
Mr. Buhari balked at the request of the Christian Association of Nigeria to withdraw Nigeria from the Organization of Islamic Countries, which makes Christians second-class citizens.

In addition to persecuting Christians, Mr. Buhari is complicit in extrajudicial killings, torture, and gross violations of the right of peaceful assembly and protest. Biafrans have been Mr. Buhari’s prime victims, especially members and supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). It employs Mahatma Gandhi-like peaceful methods in support of restructuring Nigeria to remedy the longstanding persecution of Biafrans because of their religion and ethnicity from the Muslim Hausa-Fulani controlled central government. (In 1960, Great Britain handed the reigns of power in Nigeria to its toadies and denied Biafrans a self-determination vote required by decolonization mandates of the United Nations.)

According to the State Department’s Human Rights Report, since January 2016, in response to peaceful restructuring agitation by pro-Biafra campaigners, Nigerian security forces arbitrarily arrested and killed at least 100 members and supporters of IPOB. Some arrestees were subjected to enforced disappearance.

On Feb. 9, soldiers and police officers shot at about 200 IPOB members who had gathered for a prayer meeting at the National High School in Aba, in Abia state. Video footage showed soldiers shooting at peaceful and unarmed IPOB members; at least 17 people were killed and scores injured.

On May 29 and 30, at least 60 people were killed in a joint security operation carried out by the army, police, Department of State Security (DSS) and navy. Pro-Biafra campaigners had gathered to celebrate Biafra Remembrance Day in Onitsha. No investigation into these No investigation into these killings had been initiated by the end of the year.

Without due process, Mr. Buhari ordered the dissolution and punishment of IPOB as a terrorist organization, a ludicrous characterization disputed by the United States. Mr. Buhari disappeared IPOB’s de facto leader Namdi Kanu after the Nigerian Army attacked his home with live bullets and lethal weapons. In sum, Mr. Buhari is blocking all avenues of peaceful redress for Biafrans.

The Trump administration has vocally condemned gross human rights violations in Burma, North Korea, and Iran. Under the GMHRAA, it has listed Maung Maung Soe of the Burmese Army’s Western Command under the for military operations in Rakhine State responsible for widespread human rights abuse against Rohinga civilians; and, former President Yahya Jammeh of Gambia for employing a terror and assassination squad to cow or kill his political opponents. Mr. Buhari’s human rights crimes against Christians, Biafrans and Namdi Kanu are indistinguishable.

But instead of listing Mr. Buhari for sanctions, President Trump has sold him $600 million in high-technology attack planes and equipment ostensibly to use against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in West Africa and Boko Haram. Depend upon it. Those weapons will be diverted in whole or in part to terrorize Biafran Christians and IPOB.
