' As if struck with blindness, intellectual ethnic irredentists and merchant of hatred attribute all crimes in Nigeria to Fulani herdsmen. '
Can you imagine-
all those deluded victims of kidnapping describing their captors as Fulani people
the deluded vituperations of the Yoruba cultural organisation Afenifere claiming Fulani kidnappers, bandits and herdsmen are lying siege to Yorubaland
the illusions of the Igbo cultural groups and SE governors making similar accusations in the SE
the deluded victims of massacres in the Middle Belt owned up to by Miyetti Allah
the phantoms the fed govt gave Miyettyi Allah Fulani soci-cultural organisation 100B ostensibly to put an end to kidnapping by their members.....
all illusions...
they should own up and tell us the truth....
all a hoax

--According to Muazu Jubril Jaji, on page 57 of The Daily Trust of 13 June 2013, the national income earning of Nigeria from 1960 to 1999 (39 years) was N4.8 trillion. But in 14 years of PDP rule from 1999 to 2013, Nigeria earned N50 trillion. In the 16 years of PDP rule (1999-2015), the political elites in Nigeria and the civil servants that served under them converted national assets and patrimony into their private wealth. Nigerian millionaires have no factories and they manufacture no products for export or internal consumptions. Their wealth are directly proportional to their nearness to the centre of government power, federal, state or local. The very government officials who steal money set aside to generate and distribute electricity for the nation have become tycoons as generator importers. Every household generates its own electricity through noisy and poison fuming generator. Scores of Nigerians die daily from inhaling carbon mono-oxide from their generators. Crude oil, a nature's gift to all Nigerians which is constitutionally placed in the hands of the federal government to exploit and manage for the benefit of all Nigerians, has been converted to personal wealth through the issuance of oil block license to friends cronies and concubines. The very elements that have sabotaged national crude oil refineries from refining crude oil have become *oil marketers* and fuel importers. Nigeria is the only crude oil exporting country in the world that depends hundred per cent on fuel import for her domestic needs. As the PDP led government's enquiry of 2012 had shown, billions of dollars were paid as fuel subsidies to people who imported no fuel. Compulsory Free Primary Education Act evolved from Millenium Development Goal of year 2000 which stipulated that all Nigerian children of school age must by 2015 be in school. Funds sourced internally and externally to put Nigerian children in schools were stolen by public officials. While children became almajiris in the North prowling streets with bowls in their hands to beg for alms, in the South, children have become experts in manoeuvring within traffic hold-ups to hawk handkerchiefs, toys and pornographic magazines to drivers and passengers to earn a living. Those deprived and wickedly nurtured Nigerian children have now grown up to be insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, ritualists, human traffickers, organ (human) traffickers and armed robbers as direct consequences of mindless plundering of our national treasury and patrimony. As if struck with blindness, intellectual ethnic irredentists and merchant of hatred attribute all crimes in Nigeria to Fulani herdsmen. Yet, Musa Umar, the District Head of Daura, the home village of President Buhari, was kidnapped on May 1, 2019 and the kidnappers demanded thirty million dollars ($30 million) ransom for his release. Musa Umar, who is said to be an in-law of President Buhari was released after 60 days. Thirteen of the kidnappers, aged between 20 and 46 were eventually arrested in their hideouts in Katsina and Kano States. None of them were herdsmen. Police Public Relation Officer, Frank Mba disclosed that the items recovered from the suspects included chemicals for the production of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), 20 AK-47 rifles, laptops which contained manual for manufacturing bombs, military uniforms and other dangerous weapons. Mr. Mba appealed to the National Assembly to improve the security of the country by strengthening legislation on heinous crimes such as kidnapping, cattle rustling and unlawful possession of weapons. That Bill was sent to the National Assembly in February 2016 and was knocked into coma by Saraki Dogara led Legislature. http://www.saharareporters.com/2019/07/16/we-wanted-make-30-million-president-buharis-law-kidnap-suspects-say
I agree with the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi's thesis on Nigeria's real problem when he stated among other things that, "Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest. There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses. Once you make a lot of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seed of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and join their 'sworn enemies' to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other. https://www.thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2019/07/that-fulani-should-return-to-the-north-flashback-to-lamido-sanusis-thesis-on-Nigerias-real-problem/
