What are the implications of this reality?
--With all due respect to you, your response comes across as propagandist. You need to evaluate information on the basis of some yardstick, not just for the fact of it coming from an "Oyibo" (which, I grant to you, does happen most often through victims of colonial mentality) or on the basis of it coming from someone who looks like you or anyone else. For you to dismiss with a wave of the hand, the charge that he made against the well-known nomadic Fulani bloody incursions across the Sahel and within Nigeria is indicative of either of one of two factors: (1) you have intentionally turned a blind eye to reality for for political reasons, or (2) you have not kept up with information that has been pouring out the Sahel about similar nomadic Fulani bloody incursions for land grabbing and ethnic cleansing.Second, what did you hear on the video clip about the inflated building contracts that came to you as new, strange or incredible about the way that some governmental officials in Nigeria do go about their jobs? Check with EFCC. What unit measures did you apply to arrive at your conjectural rebuttal data?On Thu, Feb 5, 2026 at 7:08 PM Cornelius Hamelberg <corneliushamelberg@gmail.com> wrote:He seems to be reading from a well-prepared anti-Fulani script, and there are some gullible people, useful idiots and bigots who believe just about anything that the Oyibo says.
How does the propagandist know that " It's the Fulani" ?
Where is the evidence, the incontrovertible evidence, the proof.?
Yeah, and he would build three thousand houses for a Billion Naira. What kind of houses? I bet that if he could build three thousand then a Chinese construction firm would build thirty thousand for the same price tag.
BTW, instead of divide and rule, by sowing the seeds of enmity towards one particular people, the Fulani, Nigeria's.Christians could join forces with Nigeria's Muslims and pray collectively to live together in peace harmony in their Nigeria, the country that they love and have in common….
