Ogbeni Salimonu Kadiri,
Denialism and rationalisation are the handmaidens of despotism. From the Premium Times, we read inter-alia: "Orin is even better protected than Ado Ekiti as it is," he said. "At a point in time, as you are aware, there were some incidences, where one hunter got killed, ever since that time, the governor gave strict instructions that a Joint Patrol Team must patrol that area, especially towns that share borders with neighbouring states." The bold emphasis is mine. Who killed that hunter? I can vividly remember that you faulted the claim that the hunter was killed by your beloved rampaging Fulani herdsmen when this issue was raised some months back. Now that the state government confirmed that an incident happened, I will like to know your new logic of rationalisation and defense of the indefensibe. Note that in the Premium Times piece, it was also mentioned that the marauders used to cross one one state to Ekiti state. Thus, if there were no incidences involved ythem as you won't to claim, why the Joint Patrol Team? Who killed Dele Giwa, Na Baba, if you add Gida, na you sabi.
My back is not even going to break on this matter. We must call a spade a spade and like my late Professor Arthur Ebunoluwa Davies used to say, there is difference between joke is not Joke. Matters of life and security should be taken seriously and tackled timeously without political bias.

You are on your own.
Nigeria has moved on from your desperate efforts to paint red white.
Even when Miyetti Allah justified massacres by their troops, you did your best to exonerate them, so why wont you seek all kinds of splitting hair evidence to avoid acknowledging reality?
Cornelius, 'right wing Fulani' is another term for Fulani supremacists, represented preeminently by Muhammadu Buhari and Miyetti Allah.

as usual, its the same clutching at straws of self deception as the nation is poised at an incendiary junction through terrorism by right wing Fulani.
the nay sayers began in 2015 with
the massacres by these figures never happened
they then moved to
even if it happened it cant be proven the killer herdsmen are fulani
after miyetti allah Fulani socio cultural organisation made a point of justifying the massacres, their response was
either silence, efforts to dilute the strategy of verbal plus armed terror, to trying to exonerate miyetti allah
when the govt awarded miyeti allah billions ostensibly to stop their members who had expanded their criminal scope from terrorism through raiding communities to kidnapping for ransom
these people either maintained silence or made non-committal responses
ex president obj cried out abut the nation wide right wing fulani crisis, directing the fulani nigerian national ruler to configurations justifying people's fears of a strategy leading to a 'fulanisation of nigeria'
they declared that obj was playing politics
SW monarchs cried out that their lands had been laid siege to by Fulani herdsmen and fulani kidnappers
these people asked for the evidence that such widely reported comments in the media were made or asked for evidence these widely identified criminal elements were fulani
shehu sani, a Fulani senator, tried to address the issue by dialogue with his fellow fulani, obj did the same in dialogue with fulani representatives
these people pretended not to notice
internationalism terrorism monitoring agencies, citing attacks and clearly identified casualties mapped across the years in yearly reports since nigeria's fulani national ruler came to power in 2015, describe fulani miltia as the worlds fourth deadliest terror group
these people pretend such reports do not exist
when in the name of God, will the ethnic constituents of this country be able to decide whether or not, and under what conditions, to remain in the deadly contraption that is nigeria?
the tinubu controlled SW has jettisoned the restructuring vision they once championed bcs they want to occupy aso rock, therefore jettisoning their own vision to avoiding alienating the political power represented by the right wing muslim north who dont want any change to a system they have cornered
the SE politicians are salivating for the chance to reach aso rock
the SS is paralyzed, swimming in desperate internal politics of guzzling public wealth
edo and delta are afraid

--The other time when I deployed the words, stupidity quotient (SQ) to rate the illogicality of a certain pronouncement on this forum, Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju smartly, but not cleverly, erased the word quotient and uplifted only stupidity to make it look as if I was being abusive. Every human being has a degree of stupidity quotient in him or her but unlike IQ, the lower the rate of SQ, the better for the person and his/her neighbour. The report written by one Rasaq Ibrahim from Ado Ekiti exhibits highest rate of SQ that, even if the Nation's newspaper published it for sensational and commercial reasons, it ought not to be published on a forum where people who do not regard the human head only as a hat-shelf but as a thinking faculty. Consider the following assertions.
Some suspected herdsmen have reportedly taken over some areas covering about 8km in Orin-Ekiti, Ido/Osi local government area of Ekiti near Governor Kayode Fayemi's hometown, Isan-Ekiti -Reporter, Rasaq Ibrahim. If herdsmen had actually taken over the said land area, they would physically be identified in the occupied land area. As reported by Rasaq Ibrahim, it would appear as if the land occupiers in Orin-Ekiti are (ghosts) invincible) herdsmen which is why they are only only suspected as herdsmen. The reporter stated that the areas taken over in Orin-Ekiti by the invincible herdsmen cover about 8 kilometres. Land area is always measured in square metres or kilometres. If we assume that the reporters intention was to say that 8 square kilometres land area was forcibly occupied by herdsmen in Orin-Ekiti, then, we need to know the numerical strength of alien forces needed to accomplish the annexation. Only a person with a very high rate of stupidity quotient will believe that some ghost-herdsmen are capable of occupying 8 square kilometres of land at Orin-Ekiti.
…. the herders hoisted a red flag at the 'annexed farmlands' where they warned farmers to keep off or face death - Rasaq Ibrahim. A picture of a red rag hanging on top of a branch of a wild-growing tree was shown but no single herder was present and the warning notice to farmers to keep off or face death was nowhere to be seen.
Residents told journalist on Wednesday, during a protest, that the herders occupied and destroyed crops planted on the abandoned 2,500 acres of land at Orin Farm Settlement - Nation's Reporter.The Orin Farm Settlement was created by the Western Region government of yesteryears and inherited by the present day Ekiti State government. If the land, about 2,500 acres had been abandoned, it still remains the property of Ekiti State government and no one has the right to occupy it without the approval of the government. No crops could have been planted on the abandoned Orin Farm Settlement for the occupying ghost-herders to destroy.
Whenever Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju hears the word *herdsmen* he gets wet dream with Fulani people. The report written by Rasaq Ibrahim was captioned by the Natio newspaper as, Herdsmen Hoist Flag in Orin-Ekiti, Near Fayemi's Hometown.
Nowhere in the report was Fulani mentioned but Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju in his wet dream added the following to the headline without the consent of the author of the article or the Nation Newspaper : Terrorism by Right Wing Fulani in Nigeria. That's a fraud.S. Kadiri

Ämne: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Herdsmen Hoist Flag In Orin-Ekiti, Near Fayemi's Hometown [ Terrorism by Right Wing Fulani in Nigeria]--
Herdsmen Hoist Flag In Orin-Ekiti, Near Fayemi's Hometown
Some suspected herdsmen have reportedly taken over some areas covering about 8km in Orin-Ekiti, Ido/Osi local government area of Ekiti State near Governor Kayode Fayemi's hometown, Isan-Ekiti..
The Nation gathered that the herders hoisted a red flag at the 'annexed' farmlands where they warned farmers to keep off or face death.
Residents told journalist on Wednesday during a protest that the herders occupied and destroyed crops planted on the abandoned 2500 acres of land at Orin Farm settlement.
The protesters, comprising old and young men and women, chanted derisive songs against the invaders with placards bearing their thoughts and agitations including 'What is our sin?'; 'Enough is Enough'; 'Save Orin Ekiti from herdsmen invasion'; 'We are tired of molestation by herdsmen'; 'Government must relocate Fulani Herdsmen', among others.
While addressing journalists, the Onikare of Orin-Ekiti, Chief Bamidele Fasuyi, alleged one Emmanuel Ilori had been allegedly killed by suspected herders while the Tiv people farming in the town were chased away.
He regretted that the suspected herdsmen, had destroyed crops worth over N50million belonging to 70 farmers.
"What they wanted is to invade our land and chase us away. They even killed one of our able bodied men this year. They are imposing some curfew in this town, because our youths can't go to farm freely and government has not been doing something. Several hectares of land had been destroyed. They used to operate at night with AK 47 rifle.
"Over 70 farmers were affected in our record. Crops worth N50 million have been ravaged . They ate up their products like Coco yam, yam, cassava and others and made them to incur debts.
"We appeal to government to use the 2500 acres of land for farming. The state and federal government as well as private bodies should come to our aid. There were facilities like electricity, buildings and equipment that can aid farming if they want to invest ".
A youth leader, Mr. Omotoso Mathew Kayode, alleged that the suspected herders had hoisted a flag at the farm settlement, where they warned the farmers to keep off or face death.
"They wrote keep off with a picture of a cattle rearer on the flag. This is a serious threat. The police , NSCDC and soldiers removed the flag last year but they had hoisted another one.
"We used to do night guard to ward off attack,because the police had found it difficult to arrest them. Our graduates who have no jobs were going into farming but they are suffering losses because of destruction by cows.
"They must vacate the place. Governor Kayode Fayemi must relocate them. From our findings, they used to enter into this place from neighbouring towns like Isan, Ayede and Ido and we are suspecting conspiracy .There may be famine in the land with the way things are going .
"We are not compromising our stand on this relocation. Chief Obafemi Awolowo-led government in the old Western region acquired the land in 1958 for arable farming and not for cattle ranching".
Omotoso, however, appealed to Fayemi to assist them in getting back their farmland and compensate the farmers.
He further urged the state government to provide adequate security in the community, noting residents could no longer sleep with two eyes closed as they all live in trepidation.
The Oniwaro of Orin, Chief Mathew Oke, said Fayemi should comply with his promise to build a police station in the town and rejuvenate the farm settlement to ward off herdsmen invasion in the area.
