This story is more believable than the crap about Falae's abduction.

The government needs to come up with a comprehensive national plan to resolve this grazing issue.

We must set aside grazing highways nationwide to make up for the encroachment of the herdsmen's grazing areas which they've used for hundreds of years.

Until we do this, expect your crops located along the paths of the herdsmen historical grazing area to be eaten by cows, by hook or crook.

Remember that before the white man came, the Igbo nation never existed, which is why the concept of Biafra is an insult to all the neighbouring ethnic nations, centuries upon centuries old, that you fraudulently and with an inflated sense of importance, erroneously presumed should tow your line, even when you did not have the courtesy to seek their help in your quest.

Your failure to do the right thing and seek the willful cooperation of the nations of the south south is largely due to the total absense of an Igbo nation in the past, Which has caused a zero precedence in which the Igbo nation had to communicate its diplomatic position on any issue with other ethnic nations, whether for formality, for peace, or for aggression.

Folks please open your eyes and see that the Igbo nation never existed.

I guess the Saraki's, the Lamido's, the Nyako's et al, are all Southerners. You must not comment Mister Man!

MayorofLagos:
Gabon is in Central Africa, is it not? Ibos root is in Central Africa, right?

So what is news if an Iboman is President of Gabon?

Obama is Kenyan by root but he is not President of Kenya.

I dont understand how little insignificant things is taken to high proportions by these small d1ck people.

kettykin:
Thank you for your candid opinion ,if only you knew how and to what extent igbos are constantly being victimised in Alaba International Market and Ladipo market

SovietBomber:
more alarming is the way the yoruba will bury their head in the sand and can never point their fingers to the hausa/fulani. They are always quick to blame Igbos for all Nigeria's woes.

ZelrothCloven:
75% of gombe is dominated by fulanis. So is bauchi. I don't know which north you lived in. And to the best of my knowledge, I dont know who sayawas are but tafawa balewa was bagerra. What do you describe as swallowing and what would you describe as refusing to fall in line? I honestly think our population is underestimated. The 2 million votes you complained about in Kano, the people of kano found a disappointing figure. But calm your horses charlatan, census is coming.

Watching how some jokers will turn the whole of the south west into another JOS aka jungle of slaughter.
Some people do not realise that the invisibility and swiftness of the fulanis which made them impermeable to the TIV militia and the nassarawa eggon tribes men cannot be stopped on the pages of nairaland.

I am watching to see how people who tremble over ordinary lizard will confront a crocodile in its den.

"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius

It has become a serious concern to me the way the Igbos are overheating the polity primarily because their preferred candidate GEJ lost the last election. They are fruitlessly employing all avenues to whip up sentiment and garner sympathy to further their lost cause by discrediting the administration of PMB.
If you've not seen the scenario of a man crying more than the bereaved before then the Igbo lamentations for Jonathan lost to the peaceful carriage of an Ijaw man after the election should avail that opportunity.
I observed that this set of people are not good at propaganda as most of their information are distorted and disjointed hence cannot appeal to a reasonable mind.
Somehow, they will find a way to tell their contemptuous south south neighbours how there's a grand conspiracy by the hausa-fulani /Yoruba to marginalize them because of their oil, They will alert the Yoruba how the hausa-fulani has orchestrated plan to invade, islamize and colonize them. They will tell the middle beltan how the fulani has been killing their people without Buhari's response.
Haba Igbos, na only una Waka come? Can't you figure out that no Nigerian is telling you something about the so called fulani agenda that you've make us all to dread? I am from benue state and i can confidently tell you not to cry for us as we are known veteran warriors. It is also noteworthy that the media chooses what to report probably because of interest, if not, to any one my people that was killed by fulani herdsmen i assured you that they've lost close to ten men and hundreds of cows . this is only verifiable from the locals and not the media.
Finally I'll want to ask those that are soliciting our sympathy for war by telling us how much damage fulani have caused us that, how many hausa-fulani people have they kill after the pogrom, series of unprovoked attack against the Igbos in many states of the core north and paramountly the genocide of the civil war.
Enough of this Igbo vague sentiment.

melzabull:
Thunder fire you there!

Who are you to determine who is Igbo and who is not you ijiot? and what da hell is real/fake igbo? you daft cvnt. you arent even igbo yet you poke nose into igbos affair. Get this into your thick, empty cranium now 'I, melzabull am a full blooded Igbo girl from anioma land in present delta state'.

It shall not be well with for trying to create a disparity between us and our siblings in mainstream SE. It is evil and mischivious people like you that must be stopped from succeeding with your wicked propaganda agenda against igbos unity and cohesiveness.

Well thanks for the compliments on our Igbo brothers from the SE acknowledging their intelligence and academic prowess, but then again, no thanks. For failing to acknowledge the prowess of Igbos in anioma land in various sectors, shows you are an evil agent of division and I'm sure you are one those cows from the north

PointB:
They'll call you whatever they will nonetheless. But that should not stop you from saying your mind.

Personally, Nigeria is either a zoo or a jungle; it's clearly not a nation. Those hoping to see Nigeria great are justing wasting their time. Nigeria is a failed state.

ZelrothCloven:
You my friend are simply stu.pid. Gombe and bauchi are almost overwhelmingly fulani states. And rode the Hausa population how? Irrelevant traditional rulers who by the way aren't all fulanis? Or governors? Because all the governors in Hausa states and some fulani states are hausas dumb as.s! And what is a great feeling? We hausas do not care as long as you identify with our culture you're one of us. That's why ibb abacha abdulsalami, balewa, who were all minorities were supported by hausas. Right from the beginning of time, if you are familiar with hausa history, various ethnicities were assimilated into the culture and language of the hausas. There used to be different groups of Hausas. Even today, different hausas have different ethnic background. E.g katsinawas, zazzagawas, kanawas etc Even though hausas, you can tell are not of the same ethnicity. Even some hausas theses days are actually fulanis who have either abandoned their identity or just don't want to admit it. You think these comments of yours are of any relevance? Lol! They're not! You southerners have no idea what the north is like, you only accept the picture your stupidity or that of your fellow idiott's paint you.

danjumakolo:
So if the hausas are 35m and the fulanis are 20m.
This makes the Hausa-fulani language 55m.
Also don't forget that parts of ilorin is fulani.

55m simply means they are approximately 33% of naijas population

bigfrancis21:
The Igbo population should be greater than 32 million. The 35 million figure for Hausas in Nigeria seems somewhat exaggerated. There has never been a proper or true census done in Nigeria that truly reflects the actual population of ethnic groups in the country.

laudate:
Those Fulani herdsmen are so clueless. Traditional rulers in kogi state do not have money. The herdsmen should have looked elsewhere!

chrisblack:
so you now own warri

Yazmin:
My brother or sister,
Plateau state has a large number of indigenous Muslims who also are wary of the Hausa/fulani invasions that you refer to in your post.
The Governor is from Shendam, an area with my indigenous tribes following the Muslim faith. Just incase your knowledge of Plateau is limited to Mangu, it also has an equally large number of indigenous muslims and guess what....?thats where the governor got most of his votes from....

Onyejiuwaokoh:
I love the fulanis, the best form of defence is to attack firstly. Wherever fulanis occupy, they always attack firstly and the host will be begging for peace, nobody dares to ask them for tax or tries to impose a leader on them. Everybody will be begging for peace!peace!peace! No harassment or intimidation. But igbos who beautify foreign lands and employ their host are being over taxed and incriminated, even though they are peace loving people. I think fulanis method works for them.
