very insightful analysis from Salimonu.
the stock photo used in these photographs purports to represent the Fulani herdsmen/men in qs.
deep intelligence.

How did they express in Fulani language their required ransom, 2million naira to your uncle to understand them? The following links stand to demonstrate the obnoxious political propaganda against the Fulani people as an ethnic group.

Ämne: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Again, herdsmen attack Benue community, rape monarch's wife, others – Punch Newspapers ( Fulani Herdsmen Terrorism in Nigeria)Perhaps yes. They may not be responsible for all the atrocities but why deny the ones that they are responsible for even in the face of glaring evidence? For example, you might have read in the Punch of Friday last week that gunmen kidnapped a cattle seller in Ajowa Town in Akoko, Ondo State. That happened right under my nose. Immediately it happened, my younger brother in Nigeria called me. The guy sold cows to me when I buried my father in 2018. The Fulani people who sell cows to him were the same people who came to organiise his kidnap, not Ebira, Ibo, or any other tribe. They came to the house and shot sporadically in ways that suggested that war has broken out. My uncle told me on phone yesterday that it was a war-like situation. He told me the marauders could only communicate in Fulani language. They did not release the hapless guy until the community coughed out over 2 million Naira. Can you imagine that? Yet, Alagba Salimonu Kadiri will stay there in the comfort of his room in Sweden or New York and be saying since they did not come with cows to kidnap, they are not Fulani people. How convenient for people who are not affected by evil to feign ignorance and defend the indefensible. Given the way this government is going, Buhari, by his shameless religious zealotry, nepotism and narrow mindedness might actually preside over the disintegration of Nigeria. Revolution is never planned. It happens spontaneously, especially when nothing meaningful is done to address root causes of disenchantment, provocations and subjugation.

Femi Segun,
Although SK is an unabashed mouthpiece of the herdsmen and their atrocities, he has some good posers for those who blame the Fulani for almost all crimes committed even by their own kinsmen.
I don't believe the Fulani are responsible for some of the atrocities.

Another indefensible defense from Alagba Salimonu Kadiri. We are here again. :"The file photo of the herder did not depict him as aggressive and combat ready since he hung his rifle loosely around his neck and shoulder with the mouth of the pipe to the gun not facing the front but back' And who authorised him to carry the rifle, with which he and his kinsmen constantly unleash mayhem on innocent citizens? If a farmer carry that same rifle in Imesi Ekiti, the Police would arrested and charged him with illegal possession of arms. Amotekun is coming for them. It is a matter of time.

--Oluwatoyin, please don't allow your hatred for Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria to blur your sense of reasoning and justice. To begin with the File Photo of a Herder accompanying the article has nothing to do with the report of the herdsmen's purported atrocity directed at the traditional ruler's family. The file photo of the herder did not depict him as aggressive and combat ready since he hung his rifle loosely around his neck and shoulder with the mouth of the pipe to the gun not facing the front but back. The file photo actually project the herder as a careless defender and not as an extremist and violent prone attacker.The expression*suspected Fulani herdsmen* used in describing the purported attackers of traditional ruler's home, is an indication that the true identities of the attackers are not known. The reporter wrote,"The herdsmen allegedly raped the traditional ruler's wife and two of his in-laws and destroyed crops stored in the barn."With this report, one is made to believe that the traditional ruler stood-by to witness the rape of his wife and two of his in-laws as well as the destruction of crops stored in the barn by the suspected herdsmen. However, the reporter in the next breath quoted the victim as having said, "The traditional ruler, Tyoor Chado said the herdsmen numbering about 11 attacked his residence around 2am. The livestock guards ….. told me they (his wife and in-laws) were tortured, raped but not killed. He further said the herdsmen used cassava, melon and yam from his barn to feed their animals." It is remarkable that Tyoor Chado could count the number of the attackers in a dark early morning, at 2am. It was the livestock guards who found his wife and the two in-laws and reported that they have been tortured and raped, thereby contradicting false impression earlier that the traditional ruler saw his wife and his two in-laws raped. We are now being made to know that the suspected Fulani herdsmen did not destroy crops stored in the barn, rather they fed their animals with cassava, melon and yam stored in the barn, implying that the suspected herdsmen had their cattle with them at the scene of the crime. With that evidence their chance of escaping from arrest must have been very small since walking on foot with the cattle from the scene of crime after 2am could not have been so far away at dawn. Then if livestock guards found Tyoor Chado's wife and his two in-laws, where are the suspected Fulani herdsmen and their cattle?S. Kadiri

Ämne: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Again, herdsmen attack Benue community, rape monarch's wife, others – Punch Newspapers ( Fulani Herdsmen Terrorism in Nigeria)Thanks, Salimonu.
I wonder too.
The recurrence of such news, escalating since Buhari's 2015 ascension, reported in Nigerian news media and reinforced by international terrorist watch agencies that give precise statistics of these attacks and killings by Fulani militia, described by these agencies as the 2nd or third most lethal terrorist group in the world baffles me.
I am also concerned about the nation wide mobilization agst Fulani herdsmen, of which the SW Amotekun outfit is the most prominent.
Some people on social media are even beginning to describe the Buhari govt as a terrorist govt.
Can you imagine?!
de tin tire me.
The reporter does not even seem to have the courage to state exactly what was stated by those whose account they are reporting, which should be, 'Fulani herdsmen are described as ...'
but it no longer allowed to string together 'Fulani' and 'herdsmen' in an expression when dealing with accounts of violence and terrorism.
Self censorship?
Who are the ghosts carrying out this carnage that for years had the full support of Miyetti Allah Fulani Socio-Cultural Organisation and on whose behalf the Buhari govt has spoken?
