Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The Fulani and Fake News

TF,

Sorry for being 'scammed' to believing the invasion of Yoruba land by the Fulani mauraders and kidnappers. 

I dont believe some of the stories. We have to be more vigilant because we never know when the Fulani herdesmen are actually on the rampage. 

Good evening. 

Segun Ogungbemi.

At 1 am, someone woke me up (as if I sleep!) that the Fulani, about 600 of them, had overrun the city of Ifewera, close to Ilesa. and I should wake up call some state governors.  I took it seriously, trying to reach Pastor Adeboye who is from there. I was told that the churches are full of people. I could not sleep.

It turns out not to be true.

All of us must exercise caution. If something is not true, we should not be party to it. What people now call "Fulani" is becoming an accumulation of those they don't like—Yoruba thieves, Igbo kidnappers and criminals are now calling themselves Fulani.

Now, Falola is APC!!!!!!
