We have been here before. Did you critically read this piece? Did you read the piece attacking Fulani political leaders who are seen as betraying the writers of this piece? These political leaders you unkindly referred to as right wing Fulani who control this government. If your allegation is true why is this group attacking such political leaders?
No one in this forum has denied the existence of FUNAM. We referenced the evil they perpetrated in the forests of Ekiti State and how a detachment of the military was sent to wipe the perpetrators out by your so called right wing Fulani led government.
Did you see anything to do with Miyetti Allah in this piece? Why muddle everything together to provoke national HYSTERIA against the Fulani?
Did you verify whether the Birom actually murdered Fulani as alleged? Did you find out why such perpetrators have not been brought to justice thereby fuelling reprisal counter attacks?
Just because a splinter group stated they could overrun the whole of Nigeria, knowing the complexity of Nigeria and your own level of education do you believe such arrogant propaganda and are you willing to bow to hysteria and advocate a knee jerk hysterical response?
Psychoanalytically the first casualty of hysteria is common sense ( abdication of collective common sense) It happened in France under the Reign of Terror; it happened in the United States under McCarthyism!
Intellectuals by definition are in control of their wits when the commonality lose theirs.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Miyetti Allah Claims Responsibility forPlateau Killings [ Urgent Need to Address Terrorism by Right Wing Fulani in Nigeria]
I hereby urge the moderators of this group to post this report.
I hereby invite Salimonu Kadiri who has been arguing since 2015 that terrorism by right wing Fulani does not exist to comment on it.
I hereby urge Gloria Emeagwali who has never analysed any justification of terrorism by right wing Fulani but is quick to describe my crying out about this evil as 'ranting' agst Fulani people to employ her scholarly acumen in relation to her humanity to respond to it.
I hereby call on Jibrin Ibrahim who is eloquent on the rights of Fulani herdsmen but has never responded, to the best of my knowledge, to the justifications of massacres of Nigerians by right wing Fulani to analyse the significance of this latest outrage.
I call upon all members of this group to respond to this latest demonstration of a war unleashed on Nigerians by a terrorist movement centred in the right wing Fulani led govt of Nigeria.
Silence bcs it did not happen in your state, it did not affect you or anyone you know, it did not happen in your country, bcs it gives a bad image to a govt you support, helps to feed the flames of destruction running across Nigeria.

BREAKING NEWS
Miyeti Allah Claim Responsible for Plateau Killings.
Press Statement: 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 the conscious 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.
