Beremx:
Buhari is borrowing money carelessly, funding the influx of Fulani herdsmen to Nigeria. Real Nigerians must rise up and defend and protect their territories.

so a southerner will be the president and watch his people being slaughtered?

FFK is right.....the Governor has no unilateral right to take that kind of decision.....we condemn his actions...its in his own best interest that he changes his mind and reverse that ultimatum.

Southerners won't do anything trust me. It's like they were programmed to serve the North. Worst of it all, the media based in the south will always destroy any Southerner in power but will look the other way if a Northerner is in power. Go and check the records.

2023 is not far.let's see what will become of them when that evil old man live aso rock and a southerner takes over.

Its game over.this same set of people have provoked all ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and the evil demonic old man has kept mute. Time shall tell who comes out victorious.

Let the governor ban open grazing and put necessary mechanism to enforce the law

Mohammedoba36:

Nigeria will remain Nigeria, whether southerner is ruling or Northerner is ruling Nigeria, the Governor has no power to put any machine working in his state without the federal government, therefore stop the childish talk and face the reality, Nigeria will remain Nigeria whether fulani man is in power or not.

Personally, I do not think this issue can be solved without Southern compromise. Esp in the NC and SW, where there is a religio-cultural similarity with the Fulanis. During the Nigerian civil war, Houphouet-Boigny was quite insistent that though he supported the Biafrans, the encroachment of the West African Islamic Sahelian belt toward the coast is inevitable.

The greatest changes in history are driven by climactic shifts. For example, the Goths and co moving toward Roman lands or Turks entering Anatolia.
In fact the Turkic example is most appropriate as it happened exactly 1000 yrs (1010s, 1020s to the end of 1070s) ago and re defined geography and history. Similarly, the Sahara is on the move. Many of these ppl are fleeing rather precarious existences to the lush south. Moreover, the nation state of Nigeria guarantees their right to move.

On the other hand, some of them want to seize things thru the back door. But the issue with fighting back is; how to ? Nigeria's 60 year history has been a Sahelian empowerment program. They have, with lesser merit and resources, accumulated the key positions in the executive, bureaucracy and security services. In business, I do not think they are equaled either. Not that they are smarter, just more politically conscious.
Why risk fighting a war that you will not win? There has to be compromise on this issue. Esp for fellow Muslims, as these ppl are Muslim faithful or at least purport to be. This is a time of meeting and talks, not threats. The disservice done to Nigeria is that the murderers among them might go unpunished. There seems to be irresponsible ethnic chauvinism from the elites of the Fula. Nobody is apologizing for the harm done to the various communities in the NC SW and even SE. One cannot imagine it going the other way.

Either way, history repeats itself, esp on these macro level changes and events. And as long as a group is smart to ppl the NCOs and top officers with their ppl, any war/physical struggle will be won by them. Let the Fula settle. Northern Oyo is very similar to their area. But work on bringing the criminals to justice. Now that's the hard part !

Berem Berem I never knew this day would come, I remember the days you were biting off the of those who criticised Buhari and Rochas yet here we are today. When a person wakes up to reality is his/her morning so good morning to you

Jakumo:


Kindly summarize this lengthy sermon in one sentence. Few readers will be able to spare an hour reading this long story. What exactly is your point ?

Dasuks:


Lol @ sermon. I was drawing parallels my guy. Many things we experience are re iterations of past events. Just perspicacity to a very confounding issue. Esp where concession will be hard to give (ego wise, being on the losing side).

We as Southerners can only try to tighten the legal rope around them to ensure that they are kept in line.

Long story short: the Fula are going nowhere. Counter their militant posture with the law. Arrest and try. The versus mentality cropping up is playing into their hands. An armed conflict will end in their favor. Anyhow u do it.

Jakumo:


Now you are talking, my brethren. Between sips from my keg of fresh palm-wine, I was able to read this summary, understand it fully, and support it wholeheartedly in all its ramifications.

I raise a toast to you sir. Try all cow-herding invaders, kidnappers, crop destroyers and land grabbers in the court of law, as a prelude to slam-dunking them in jail for a nice long stretch, while having those who offer any resistance, duly terminated with extreme prejudice on the spot.

id911:


[s]If u can't decode what I meant based on historical precedent of the South then, there's nothing i can do to help. As strong as OBJ was and wanted to look at the way to make Nigeria balance in all spheres between the South and the North, it was the South West media that frustrated him. Maybe you possibly new to Nigerian politics[/s].

Femi Fani-Kayode has attacked the Buhari-led administration for condemning Governor Rotimi Akeredolu's ultimatum for herdsmen to leave forest reserves in Ondo state within 7 days, Igbere TV reports.

The governor gave the directive on Monday, January 18 Sermons following claims that “bad elements” have turned the forest reserves into hideouts for keeping victims of kidnapping, negotiating for ransom and carrying out other criminal activities.

In a statement released on Tuesday January 19, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, stated that the governor being a senior lawyer should know better than unilaterally expelling thousands of herders who have lived all their lives in the state.

FFK in a series of tweets posted this morning said Garba Shehu's position is ''insulting, provocative, asinine & absurd.''
