Gloria,
Are you following the role of Hausa-Fulani politicians and the Fulani national leader Buhari in the terrorist drive across the nation, with Fulani herdsmen as the arrowhead, a terrorist drive that has decimated the Middle Belt, inspiring a recent call for averting war by Middle Belt elders, including second 1966 coup and civil war veteran Yakubu Danjuma, a crisis reinforced by the collusion of the Fulani led DSS, and the invulnerability of the Fulani terrorists across the nation, from the recurrent and recent massacres in Southern Kaduna, to the Agatu Middle Belt and Enugu state Nimbo massacres, crimes often openly admitted to and justified by the Fulani terrorists without any reprisal , to the efforts of the Fulani led govt to appropriate lands of other Nigerians to accommodate the private business represented by Fulani herdsmen to the announcement that the Nigerian army will now run cattle ranches, these being moves various state governors have had to publicly oppose, some developing their own military systems and laws to tackle this scourge in the face of the govt's open support for this terrorist colonization drive?
Even if you dont agree with my analysis of the ultimate direction of a development in which Fulani herdsmen are now in control of Nigeria's roadways and educational institutions, occupying land and classrooms in Edo state with the governor helpless to occupying land in the University of Abuja, with the VC crying for help, please share with us your views on the historical facts presented unless you dispute those facts?
Fulani terrorism is worse than Boko Haram bcs of its nationwide spread and longer persistence, along with tacit and open support from Hausa Fulani politicians, becoming Nigeria's greatest security challenge and one of the world's deadliest terrorist groups, according to the Global Terrorist Watch, which keeps data on attacks and numbers of deaths from this terrorist organization.
Your trivialization "What do you have against the Fulanis, Toyin It's Fulani this and Fulani that. .......", makes me wonder if you aware of at least the factual aspects of these developments, as different from my interpretations, or if you have been carried away by a cocooning within USAAfrica Dialogues Series, where this evil is excused by vocal voices blinded by or protecting investments in the current govt.
I would be pleased if you address my questions frontally, summed up by- do you believe the Fulani herdsmen militia wing are a terrorist group? If not, why, given the scale of attacks, scope of killings and systematic character of their attacks across the nation and their use of sophisticated military grade weapons?
Do you believe they have protection from the Fulani led govt? If not, how do you explain the virtual invincibility they have enjoyed in spite of openly justifying massacres of other Nigerians as well as the govt's efforts to appropriate Nigerians' land in sustaining their private businesses?
Do you believe the crisis has gone beyond a simple issue of pastoralists? If not why have state governors had to develop private military and new legal methods to tackle them? Why are they now so bold they compete with traffic on Nigerian city streets as in Abuja, and occupy school land and classrooms in Edo and university land in Abuja?
Thanks
toyin

This is not about Fulani colonization.
This is simply about the realities of nomadic pastoralism in the past and present.
Work on converting nomadic pastoralists to sedentary ones. That is the challenge.
What do you have against the Fulanis, Toyin.
It's Fulani this and Fulani that. .......
