When Fulani Herdsmen will start killing Igbo’s, don’t call me, I have giving an order, give them your land – Buhari


The PDP chieftain also alleged that the security agencies are handicapped because Buhari has refused to give them the right signal to act. He said, “As I am talking to you the Miyetti Allah has completely intimidated both the police and the army because of Buhari’s body language. We don’t want that. But if we don’t stop the Fulani they will continue to attack and kill Nigerians.”
He noted that Nigerians were very expectant of Buhari and they tried to embrace him without knowing that Buhari had other ideas adding that in a more fundamental sense the crisis is about the Fulani reaction to the consequence of democracy. “I see Fulani as a group without the numbers to cover the bases they use to occupy. Under dictatorships, they were the say- all -masters, but under democracy, you notice how they lost control in places like Nasarawa. The indigenous people in the Middle Belt have started marshaling control over their affairs, which led to the assertion of their rights over land which has unsettled the Fulani.”
When reminded that the Fulani herdsmen are only requesting for land for grazing, he said “Nobody will donate a land he does not own. You see 5,000 hectares is like calling for a local government. The problem that the Fulani have is desertification, climatic changes, coupled with Boko Haram activities in the north east. That is now what is forcing them to seek greener areas and the greenest area closest to Hausa land where they currently hold authority over the Hausa is the Middle belt.
“As I am talking to you, Fulani have bought deeply into the Mambilla but the Jukuns are resisting them. That is why the Fulani are fighting. If you give the whole of Nigeria to them without adding Benue, Taraba and Plateau, they will not accept it. They need that part to gain access to the basin of the Benue, that is why they are fighting and the fight is most likely to continue.
He however, expressed confidence that despite the alleged divisive politics of Buhari, Nigerians need to resolve their differences and build a more united country. “We want an inclusive government where everybody; Fulani, Hausa, Tiv, Jukun, Yoruba, Igbo, Angwei, Bassa, Berom, Angas, and others will all be accepted by everyone else.”
On the possible solution to the crisis he said that the Fulani must embrace ranching, which is the standard practice all over the world.
On whether the PDP still has all it takes to dislodge Buhari and the APC in 2019, he said the only way to dislodge Buhari is to let those PDP people, who rushed into the APC, who are now disgruntled, to come out and join the Obasanjo Coalition for New Nigeria and other platforms and negotiate with the PDP. “The disgruntled members of the APC are now trying to go away from the party to join the PDP to form a coalition and go for the 2019 election,” that will the best way to oust Buhari in 2019,” he said.

AS NIGERIA CRUMBLES, NO UNITY IN DIVERSITY

  In recent times, I have sat down to observe the Horrors going on in Nigeria. I have engaged people in discussion to get their views and in a deep reflection, all i can see is complete disdain, failure and frustration because every sector has crumbled to irredeemable state. Today, i am not writing as a Biafran like I use to, but as an African, who imagines rapid development across the continent of Africa IF Biafra is restored tomorrow. I am just looking at the versed human and technological resources in Biafra Land and how the continent will flood BIAFRA for different businesses. Nigeria must accept the fact that the major root to our problems is DIVERSITY IN CULTURE AND BELIEFS. This is why we have never been United from inception. No Nation with different cultures and beliefs ever succeeded. Some questions you may ask... Can America and Pakistan exist as a Nation considering the fact that they are people with different value system? NIGERIA was created forcefully by a white m...

BISHOP OYEDEPO ADDRESSES ISSUE OF LIVING FAITH RURAL CHURCHES LOW INCOME

  NONSENSE ! OUR ONLY CRITERIA IS HOW MANY SOULS WON AND NOT HOW MUCH INCOME. WHEN WE EMPLOYED 7000 PASTORS AT ONCE SOCIAL MEDIA WAS DEAD. WE HAVE MORE EMPLOYEES THAN MOST STATES IN NIGERIA AND WE HAVE NEVER OWED THEM OR TAKEN BANK OVERDRAFT ONCE. THE PASTORS WERE ASKED TO GO BECAUSE THEY WERE UNFRUITFUL. MANY OF THE CHURCHES BUILT CAN NEVER PAY FOR THE CHURCH BUILDING IN 30 YEARS. WE HAVE NO PATIENCE WITH FAILURE HERE. -Bishop David Oyedepo at CHoP *We have built more than 1,000 Churches in rural areas where in the next 30 years, they can never generate such fund, with each costing more than 14 Million Naira. *We are hunting after souls, not income. People are confused about our Ministry. I learnt some fellows said, “you know, they are not bringing income, that is why they asked them to go.” We asked you to go because you are unfruitful. Unfruitful! Blatant failure. Doing what there? We have no patience with failure here. When we employed 7,000 people at a time, Social Media was...

5 Final Thoughts on Abba Kyari and Hushpuppi

  1. As with everything Nigerian, the Abba Kyari/Hushpuppi fraud case has taken on a predictably ethnoreligious hue. I’ve read some people claim that Kyari is being targeted by America because he is a Muslim. Ha! Well, Hushpuppi is also a Muslim. His full name is Ramon Olorunwa Abbas. Most Muslims will recognize Abbas as a Muslim name but probably not Ramon. Ramon is the Yoruba Muslim domestication of Abdulrahman. Read my July 13, 2014 column titled “Top 10 Yoruba Names You Never Guessed Were Arabic Names” to understand how Abdulrahman became Ramon (which is also sometimes rendered as Ramonu or Raymond). The name is #7 on my list. Kyari’s replacement, announced earlier today, is a Tunji Disu, another Muslim. Disu is the Yoruba Muslim domestication of Idris. That name is #3 on my list. Most importantly, though, the man Hushpuppi defrauded of over $1 million— with Kyari’s help— is an Arab Muslim. So, the idea that Kyari is being hounded because he’s a Muslim is silly. 2. Some people ...
