The greatest terrorists and murderers in Nigeria are people in the Nigerian National and state Assemblies, the Governors and their Deputies, the State Commissioners, the Nigerian intellectuals (Western Educated Nigerian) employed in the Ministries, Departments and Agencies who deprive the masses of Nigeria of their fundamental human rights to decent living by stealing appropriated funds for the development of Nigeria. This is a fact which the Directors of false alarm industries about Fulani people in Nigeria have to contend with. Not all Fulani in Africa are Nigerians, not all herdsmen are Fulani, not all Fulani are herdsmen and, as we all know, there are criminals in all the ethnic groups in Nigeria. Since intellectual sorcerers and masters of mystics have decided to be untruthful and not objective, they conjure up divisive ethnic allegories to brand all Fulani people of Nigeria, not only as herdsmen but, as criminals. Immediately the news broke out that a person on behalf of Miyetti Allah admitted that the group killed about 200 people in Plateau to retaliate the loss of 300 cows, we have persons with brains in this forum that prayed it was not true, implying the news must be fake. Now, the Miyetti Allah leader who was attributed with the claim that the Fulani herdsmen killed 200 people as a reprisal attack for the group's loss of 300 cows has denied ever saying such a thing to the journalist that had mischievously quoted him and the journalist in question had called to apologise to him in order to avoid being sued for libel. So, the murderers in Plateau remained "suspected Fulani herdsmen" even though, no one has witnessed the killings and no one has confirmed the perpetrators of Plateau murders are Fulani or herdsmen. Once, we had this kind of false accusation against Fulani herdsmen when Olu Falae was abducted by unknown men.
In 2015, Olu Falae was kidnapped in his farm at Akure in Ondo State and the media in Nigeria, both printed and online, blamed the kidnap on Fulani herdsmen. The suspicion of Fulani herdsmen in the kidnap was based on a court case filed and won by Falae against some Fulani herdsmen who had driven their animals into his farm and destroyed his crops. The court decided that the Fulani owners of the cattle should pay money to compensate Falae, which they did. However, the Chairman of the Ondo State branch of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Branch of Nigeria (MACBAN), denied that Fulani herdsmen kidnapped Olu Falae. He stated, "Most of the Fulani people that came into Ondo came as cattle breeders and you don't expect them just to leave their animals and be kidnapping. We have been residing in Ondo State for more than 100 years and no one has ever accused us of any heinous crime in Ondo State or caught us with weapons. As an Ondo resident, I condemn this act. Clearly, this is impersonation. We live with our families in Ondo. How can we engage in such an act? We are pleading with law enforcement agents to do more investigation and expose the real perpetrators." www.punchng.com/news/fulani-herdsmen-deny-kidnapping-falae/

When Olu Falae's kidnappers were eventually arrested and arraigned in court, it turned out that they were common criminals resident in Kogi and Kwara States. None of them was a herdsman or a Fulani. Most of the N5 million ransom they received before releasing Falae was recovered. Despite that, fabricators of malicious lies against the Fulani people continue to maintain, till date, that Fulani herdsmen kidnapped Olu Falae.
A major problem confronting Buhari is his desire not be branded a dictator by the looters of Nigeria's treasury. Looters of the nation's treasury are by their acts of stealing what belongs to all of us are dictators and any person who sets out to retrieve our stolen national assets from looters, like Buhari, cannot do that with kid gloves. In Nigeria criminal looters are granted bails by corrupt judiciary and their cases are adjourned indefinitely. Nigeria is the only country in the world where treasury looters are sitting in the national assembly and making laws. The treasury looters in the national assembly has openly demanded that the head of EFCC should first withdraw criminal charges in courts against them and destroy case files before they could confirm him as the substantive chairman of the EFCC. The PDP ruled Nigeria for 16 years before Buhari took over three years ago but, intellectual sorcerers and masters of mystics, think that all lootings in Nigeria began when Buhari came to power. All murders and kidnappings in Nigeria are attributed to Fulani herdsmen even though not a single herdsman had been seen or caught in the vicinity of murders and arsons that had occurred throughout the country. In the Offa Bank robbery case police investigation revealed connections between the armed robbers, the government of Kwara State and the President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki. Intellectual sorcerers on this forum quickly began to shout that Buhari's controlled Police was out to incriminate the new-PDP leader that had fraudulently stolen the Senate majority members given to the APC by the Nigerian electorates in the 2015 election. We were told that Saraki had no reason to engage in armed robbery since he is very rich. Although, the Police was investigating a case of armed robberies and murders, they also stumbled over political hired assassins who had been in the payrolls of the Senate President, Saraki, and Kwara state government. Convinced that the last place the police would turn to look for the vehicle that was used in the Offa Bank robberies is the Government House, Ilorin, the Personal Assistant (political) to the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mr. Alabi Olalekan, directed one of the Bank robbers, Mr. Adeola Omiyale, to drive the Lexus Jeep used in the Offa bank robbery to the Government House, Ilorin, Kwara State. A revolver pistol and a pump action gun were recovered by the police from the Personal Assistant (political) to the Executive Governor of Kwara State. When the Lexus Jeep used in the Offa robberies arrived at the premises of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Ilorin, Kwara State, the Chief of Staff to the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mr. Yusuf Abdulwahab, arranged the removal of the plate number of the robber's vehicle and re-registered it with a new number, Reg. No. Kwara, KMA 143 RM) in the name of the leader of Offa Bank robberies, Ayoade Akinnibosun. The registration was effected after more than six days Ayoade Akinnibosun had been in police custody. Saraki and Kwara State government, probably had nothing to do with bank robberies in Offa, but the robbers are their hired assassins who had snuffed lives out of their political opponents in Kwara and up to Kogi state. The recent murders in Plateau State that are being attributed to 'suspected herdsmen' might be the handiwork of hired killers employed by political rivals in the State. Just this month, the former Governor of Plateau State and a serving Senator, Joshua Chibi Dariye, was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment for looting the State of N2 billion when he was PDP Governor of the Plateau State from 1999- 2007. He had been on trial since July 7, 2007, but through judicial manipulations, his trial and conviction was not concluded until June 2018. He, like many other looters, crossed over to the APC from PDP, thinking it would save him from prosecution of treasury looting. Having failed to prevent looters from crossing over to the APC from PDP, Buhari urged the EFCC to see that justice is done to the looters. I am curious to know if the imprisonment of Joshua Chibi Dariye, is not connected with the recent murders of innocent people in Plateau State. It is not improbable that the murderers in Plateau were assassins hired by politicians.

I am not the only one making these assessments.
Nnamdi Kanu is credited with having made accurate predictions years ago unfolding today in this horror.
Opinion leader, Facebook blogger and Guardian Nigeria columnist Charles Ogbu has been crying out about this for a long time, same with Mgbeke Obi and other people in my Facebook feed.
When an Atiku can threaten Nigeria with violent change bcs he was not made PDP 2011 Presidential candidate, when a chairman of the then ruling PDP in the person of Bamanga Tukur is able to declare of the then purely anti-govt and anti-Christian savagely bloodlettingly destructive Boko Haram in their 2011-2013 period that they were 'freedom fighters', when a Buhari, already then the most prominent Northern Muslim politician, is able to declare that the war agst Boko Haram is war agst the North, when a Murtala Nyako, then governor of Adamawa, is able to declare that the war agst Boko Haram is anti-North genocide, when Kassim Shettima, as governor of Borno, is able to enable the kidnap of the girls in Chibok by keeping that rural school open even though the fed govt had ordered all schools in such outskirts closed, keeping it open agst the security advise of WAEC officials who feared for their invigilators' safety, thereby provoking outrage on the kidnap that finally defeated a govt that was winning the anti-Boko Haram war, when you have a continuity of strategy but at a more expansive, better coordinated level from Boko Haram to right wing Fulani terrorism, with the terrorists openly represented by Miyetti Allah, headed by the country's most elite Fulani, of which the Sultan of Sokoto, the head of all Nigeria's Muslims and the Emir of Kano, ex-central bank governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, are the most prominent, in an environment in which practically the first action of the Fulani national ruler was to make almost all heads of the security agencies and INEC his fellow Fulani and Hausa-Fulani, even as most Nigerians from the ethnicity represented by these characters and their militia look on in silence as the massacres continue unrelentingly, while a few make half hearted critiques while others justify the massacres, you know that you are in very, very serious trouble.
The South, the Middle Belt and the non-Muslim communities of Southern Kaduna have been outmaneuvered in a war that entered its decisive phase with the escalation of the Boko Haram insurrection following on Atiku's threat to Nigeria, with the escalation of right wing Fulani terrorism on the ascension of Buhari being the second phase of this war.
The war is already lost by the South.
The tragedy is that the political elite are refusing to grasp the crisis as they maintain silence leaving the outcries to the general populace.
The South have a weak, self centred and compromised political elite.
The best available to us is the IPOB option. Peaceful dissolution through civil disobedience.
No one else can share space progressively with the right wing mentalities that dominate the Muslim North.
They represent the worst of tribal recrudescence and are among the more deadly of closed minded religious identifications.
What they seek is total domination. Domination of physical space. Domination through politically engineered legislation. Their vision is to kill and kill till you accept their demands.
They present their demands through legislation which their political wing proposes in response to the massacres by their foot soldiers, their military wing.
They began with advancing legislation creating grazing routes for the Fulani herdsmen, their penetration force, across the country.
That did not work and so they unveiled the idea of each state providing ranches to Fulani herdsmen.
That did not work so they presented a modification of this idea through advancing legislation to create cattle colonies across the nation.
That has not fully worked.
They are also seeking to forcefully nullify all anti-open grazing laws, claiming this will only be a suspension of the laws. They are therefore seeking to abrogate the rights of states through federal fiat.
The Fulani and Hausa-Fulani warlords are making the Middle Belt the primary testing ground of their scorched earth strategies.
They have engaged in similar tests of their strategy in the SE, the SW and the former Midwest-Edo state.
They have shown their mettle to the Niger Delta through Buhari's ordering a bombing raid there as one of the first acts of his national role.
On account of their control of both a non-state army and Nigeria's security forces while other peoples are not even aware of the fact of the war or of its scope, meaning defeating them militarily is almost impossible, IPOB's civil disobedience secession strategy is their most dangerous opponent, and aided by the shortsightedness of Nigerians and the myopia of SE governors, they succeeded in pushing back the momentum generated by IPOB, which if left unchecked, could have led eventually to the referendum demanded by IPOB and the secession of the SE, following which such restive zones as the Niger Delta would likely have left, upon which the spoils represented by Nigeria would have lost much of its value.

To: Politics Naija <naijapolitics@yahoogroups.com>
FOR IMMEDIATE MEDIA RELEASE
JUNE 25, 2018
THE KILLINGS IN PLATEAU
STATEMENT BY THE FULANI NATIONALITY MOVEMENT, (FUNAM)
WE REMAIN SOLID AND UNSHAKEN BY THE WIND
Our attention has been drawn to the series of campaigns being waged against the FULANI NATIONALITY following the killings in PLATEAU where some civilians who have been tormenting the FULANI nation were justifiable hacked down;
Why is it convenient for Nigerians to condemn the killings of Birom but fail to condemn the killings of Fulani people?
We frown at theconscious attempts to demonize the FULANI nation by the media and their collaborators;
We wish to make the following categorical statements on the Plateau incidence:
1) The killings in Barkin Ladi was motivated by previous killings of FULANI men and women by Birom youths in collaboration with certain minority ethnic groups in PLATEAU. We hereby justify this retaliatory attacks and warn that we shall continue to defend ourselves and uphold the FULANI heritage now and in the future. Let it be known that the Fulani Special Force coordinated the attacks;
For the avoidance of doubt, our heritage is that ANY ATTACK ON A SINGLE FULANI IS AN ATTACK ON ALL. ANY OF SUCH ATTACKS MUST BE COUNTERED WITH TRIPLE MEASURE.
2) That apart from stealing hundreds of cows belonging to FULANI, these criminal elements also set ablaze several houses belonging to peaceful FULANI natives across the entire territories in Barkin Ladi and Plateau.
3)That we have said it several times that Plateau is an indigenous territory of the FULANI people. We are the first to settle in Plateau-Benue axis thousands of years ago. We shall take and posses every inch of this land; A conscious attempt to rewrite history and distort, manipulate or destroy our past will be resisted with all the might at our disposal.
4) That there is a clear agenda to divide Nigeria and exterminate the FULANI people. We are long aware of this plot. We call on FULANI all over Africa to prepare for this inevitable war and set our people on an offensive path rather than being weaklings that choose a defensive strategy in warfare.
5) We have said it over and over, that Nigeria is the only inhertrance we have in Africa and anywhere in the world. This land belongs to us, from Sokoto to the banks of the Atlantic Ocean. This was the destiny bestowed on Uthman Dan Fodio which would have been fulfilled since 1816 if not for the obstruction of this great assignment by the British. It is no longer time to play the ostrish. Our men are waiting. We are eager to fight. We are boiling with the zeal to actualize our dream; enough of double dealing and ambivalence by FULANI political leaders who unfortunately think the FULANI can only take back what belongs to us through appeasement and elections destined to reflect cultural values antithetical to the preachings of Uthman Dan Fodio.
6) We warn that nothing will be able to save those raising their voices against us and Allah. Nothing will be left behind, from the East, West and Middle Belt except those who accept the creation of Allah and the leadership place of Fulani in fulfilling this destiny. Since this irresponsible Western notion of democracy was imposed, the Fulani have been shortchanged and maligned. The Middle-Belt, the West and the East should be prepared. We are already here.
7) Let the Birom and the ethnic minority invaders in the entire Middle Belt leave our territory or be prepared to accept our ways of live. It is time for them to savour their wounds. It is just the beginning. Many more will come and nothing can stop us.
7) Insha Allah, we shall take this battle across the sea, on the land, in the air, on the mountains, in every territory currently occupied by the Kafirs. This is our position. This is our destiny. For those who think they can stop or continue to conspire against us, we wish them good luck.
