This is personal experience and it happened in southwest and I believe it the same almost every where in the southern part of Nigeria.

In 2019 where I have my farm in ogun state a clash happened between the igedes and fulanis.

My pig farm is very close to stream so most times this fulani bring there cows to the stream for water and we greet. This people were known in that village and we all knew were they stay.

They were notorious for always feeding there cows people cassava and they do this act mostly at night when no one is around the farm. One particular evening a man was in is farm resting and one fulani brought cows to his farm to eat cassava as usual but the igede man injured him seriously with cutlass and killed 2 cows.

This next day the police brought about 3 bus to arrest people in the village and it was really messy.

This are the truth no one wants to say that I found out with the Incident.

1.Most fulani herdsmen are just errand boys cos those cows belong to rich men in the community.

2.This rich men are the one encouraging herdsmen to feed there cows with people farm products assuring them nothing will happen.

3.This rich men only show up when something bad happens to there cows.

At the station we got to know the owners of those cows are actually yorubas and this herdsmen only get compensated with cash or get one cow after agree number of years of taken care of the cows.
Anywhere fulani herders are misbehaving in Southern part of Nigeria believe me the rich people who owners of the cows are the one enabling them.

(I wont bore you guys with how the matter was resolved but trust me it wasn't easy at all to get those arrested released).

If what you are saying is right, how much does it cost to set up a ranch?

Why do Nigerians do themselves like this?

Is 100% true, its even a common knowledge in Abuja, that you can buy a calf and give it to fulani after sometime you share the offspring with the herder

They are after making more money and spending less.

This people just want sell big cows and don't care about how they feed.

Can this country ever get better??

Seems everywhere you look is already rotten, tufiakwa.

Police force is the most useless

I do believe that you are very correct.

I believe this your story, because while I was serving in Cross River state the cows the Fulani men always carry around for grazing was owned by an indigene of the community.

This doesn't make sense... why would indigenes across multiple towns and states instigate the killing of their tribesmen cos they don't want to pay for feeds for their cows?
What's d probability that it will happen across different tribes and states?
Pls common sense should be applied when talking about these issues

You're on point

But when ever they carry deadly attack to revenge the stolen or death of their cows, know that the owner is probably not from that tribe or region but one alhaji at far North.

Any cordinated attack are done by the hired bandits from one of the deadly terror group from North.

Thats why i laugh some people saying that it can't happen on their land or state. Unaware attack can occur anywhere but the difference is if you allow them to do that repeatadly or sieze your land without dealing with them.

Anyway I know comprehension is a big problem.

I clearly wrote situation i experience in the southwest..


You can't see fulani in your village if no one employed him to take care of there cows.....That the common sense.

Confirm true, one member of the state House of assembly in my area also employed a Fulani man like that. The cows fed on the vegetables my mum planted besides our house, immediately l came home went straight to the oba saw some people also complaining. We told him point blank we are going to kill all the cows. But one thing I like about him was that he was very understanding

See don't let's mix things up... the widespread attack of indigenes across different states and that starting all of a sudden in buhari 's time is not just caused by the various rich indigenes.. they were emboldened by the fulanis in govt , in police, in the military with buhari being the chief enabler. Even this ur town case, did u have fulani coming to kill people in the area? Did they tell you that it was rich indigenes that sent them to kill the people ? I doubt

The rich ones aren't the ones killing people.

When given cows, the herders feel too big and then do anyhow. But the real owners don't know about it.

Just a theory

That should be part of it. The armed Fulani then joins from the barracks. Or takes the same animals from those on ground and perpetuate evil.

So the point of d matter is this fulani menace that has stopped people from going to the farms that wasn't a big problem b4 buhari time is not caused by rich indigenes!!! That's d point I want to be clear rather than mixing things up... the fulani killings & kidnappings of farmers is NOT sponsored by indigenes, it is sponsored & perpetuated by the Fulani hierarchy !!!! And that's what should be dealt with if u want a solution.

https://www.nairaland.com/8077091/attahiru-bafarawa-bandits-forced-me--Look at that!

Just imagine-- how logical is it for a rich man to contract fulani herdsmen ito rear cows in his town.. they kill people and come back to kill and injure people and he is happy working with them ? Will he not be bothered they might one day kill his friends or relatives who are farmers in the town?

I agree with you. There may be the odd cases of indigenes of Southern States contracting Fulanis to herd livestock for them, purely as a business venture .

Yet it is foolhardy, ignorant and very simplistic to try and present this as the full picture given a universal over-reportage of what is actually behind what we are seeing today to include the flooding of Nigeria with non-Nigerian Fulanis that is even powerful enough to force changes to our passport issuance rules and protocols under the new Government of BAT.

Informed Nigerians know, 100%, that the reality of Fulani deadly banditry and terrorism menace (ISWAP, Boko Haram, rogue elements from across the Sahels etc) troubling Nigeria severely today is first and foremost fueled by a Fulani supremacist, fundamentalist, expansionist and land grab conspiracy very powerful Fulanis ( in politics, the armed forces, religious and cultural leadership etal) are fully involved and invested in.

Foreign sponsors, who are not even Fulanis, and from Nations in faraway Asia and the Middle East, are involved in this conspiracy whose aim is to foist an ethno-religious supremacist hegemony on Nigeria.

OP's own experience, sorry to say, only gives him a very limited and simplistic outlook that is too far from the very complex truth of our reality today.

t dude were brainwashed that they own the Nigerian state

This is not the case in another community

Another good post. Let me add that we should also look at what our elected leaders in the South do as well since they know more than us.

Akeredolu, till his death, squarely took the battle to Northerner sponsoring terror and arming Fulani herders.

He even threatened to buy AK47 for Amotekun to make it a fair fight since it seems every Fulani carries an AK47 or even more lethal weapons.

At no point, to show such was never a major threat worth focusing on, did Akeredolu, Makinde and co ever talk of Southern indigenes involvement as the OP is trying to convince us is a major contributor to the insurgent menace of Fulanis across the South.

I really don't know the OP's motivation but his effort to rope in Southerners as self-serving saboteurs and major players in the Fulani brigandage of the South seems really uninformed to me.

It should be obvious to anyone fairly knowledgeable and up to speed with events that what we see in the South and Middle belt today is an attempt to replicate in the South and Middle belt what has now become a way of life in the core North, and nations across the Sahels in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Put simplistically, it is a grand conspiracy, abetted and sustained even beyond the borders of Africa, to make Nigeria part or even headquarters of the Sahel confederation of Islamic Nations, shown below, by force.

It is not a joke to trivialise with uninformed and grossly inaccurate theories. I personally think most Nigerians don't know the seriousness of what we are playing with.

You are talking nonsense. Absolute rubbish.


It is mostly rich Fulanis that own most of the cows. some of the Fulani herders also inherited their cattle herd from their fathers and forefathers.


If Yorubas do hire Fulani herders to herd cow for them and kill Yorubas that I am not aware but it is not the same in Southeast, Middlebelt and Southsouth.


What I know is that most of the violent Fulani herdsmen are foreigners brought into Nigeria by Fulani elites, MACBAN and some uninformed Hausa-Fulanis in the name of Islam.


Fulanis are on a land grabbing conquest in Nigeria, they have a mission to make Fulani a majority tribe in Nigeria through violence mixed with Islamic Jihad which helps them penetrate Muslim communities in Nigeria as the Muslim locals ignorantly welcome them in the name of Islamic brotherhood not knowing that they are welcoming vampires that will later kill them

Support the call for the division of Nigeria today and save yourselves from invaders from the Sahel. A stitch in time saves nine.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB saw it far ahead of time and warned everyone but your naivety got the better part of you.
The division of Nigeria will save millions of lives.
Support it today and while you can.

Op you are 10,000% correct

Never believed this until I came to the North.
All these cows you see parading our farms are 60% public funds looted by the politicians. That's how there launder their money

Ask questions brodaman

U will be surprised at ur findings.
Do you know a Fulani man cannot take his cow to the southeast owing to the security of their cows. They would rather sell 2 or 3 of their own cows and buy grass lands or immature maize plants than plying that risky part of paying almost 3 million to transport their cows only for them to be killed by ...

I do believe that you are very correct.

johnog4sure:

So, how many Bini or Igbo rich men own cows that make Fulani herdsmen to raze farmlands in Edo and Enugu states?

Nonsense! So, how come there are destruction of crops in the south east, south south and north central where the natives don't own cows, but are strictly interested cultivation? Fulani herdsmen have slaughtered farmers in Bayesla and Akwa Ibom. How many Ijaw and Ibibio elites own cows ni?

You people lie stoopidly on this forum!

I am not here for argument, everyone who is matured enough knows ethnic crises is always multifaceted, the op only pointed to one of the factors, that doesn't invalidates other factors.

What questions ? Something SUDDENLY became rife and widespread when buhari a fulani fundamentalist became president, No single prosecution of a fulani killer talk less conviction-- have u asked yourself the question of why?

And all these deflecting away from the actual problem by the OP is the reason tinubu has not dealt with the problem.. he himself deflected back in 2018 asking where are the cows

I would rather see that move by buhari as technically marking his space. He's protecting his kinsmen biz.
I have a farm here and I can tell you that the only time when Fulani men didn't pay me for trespassing my farm was when I was counting on his half-cousin to rent me 1 of their farms. All other times I got exactly the money value of the loss incurred or at least 30% of what I claimed they did.

Another one is that some Fulani men will rather let you drag them to the chief and traditional rulers all year than to drag him or get him locked up for at least 1 week in the police cell

Op must be high on cow urine. Who are those clamoring for the return of grazing routes and Ruga?

I talk am !!! There's only one set of useless people who concoct silly excuses whenever the terrorists go on rampage and I'm always proven right
