A socio-cultural group, Fulbe Global Development and Rights Initiative (FGDRI), has decried ethnic profiling in the country, saying profiling of the Fulanis particularly in Nigeria was a set up for genocide.

The group, while calling for concerted efforts to change the narrative, also bemoaned constant clashes between the Fulani and Hausa in Northern Nigeria, and distanced itself from banditry as well as other criminalities.


The President-General of FGDRI, Dr. Salim Musa Umar, who stated this in Abuja at weekend during the group’s Annual General Meeting, said the Fulanis were being profiled and linked to criminal activities in Nigeria in order to be maimed without recourse.

According to him, the Fulani race currently face existential threat, calling upon well-meaning Nigerians to rise and avert impending genocide against the race, adding that over 156 Fulani were killed and 7,000 cattle killed in the first quarter of 2024 mostly in Plateau, Kaduna, Zamfara Taraba and Niger States.


“The Fulanis anywhere in this country and many other countries have become an easy prey and likely to be linked, compared or attached to all form of vices. The narrative that is being sold in Nigeria. Trying to pitch the Hausa man against the Fulani is not something we can fold our hands and watch.

“A Hausa man killing a Fulani man and a Fulani man killing a Hausa man is such a big challenge. All of them are Muslims in Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and so many other states in Northern Nigeria and our revered fathers are keeping quiet.



“It’s high time we set up a committee that will take us to the Sultan to take leadership seriously and settle the Fulani and Hausa feud. As a race, we are facing existential threat, If a Fulani is not safe in Sokoto State, I don’t know where he will be safe in this country,” Dr Umar said.

He, however, admitted that there are what he described as “miscreants among the Fulani race committing crimes” likewise other ethnic groups, arguing that it is improper to generalise and profile all Fulanis to be criminals”.

“The criminals among us are not representing us, they are not our ambassadors, we didn’t ask them to go and do banditry or kidnapping on our behalf, they are criminals and must be identified as such.

“They are not representing Fulbe, so no Fulbe should be tagged because some of his brothers are doing kidnapping and banditry. Overtime, our people have been subjected to pressure, most of which are orchestrated by some evil personalities, hence, our responsibility to addressing the challenges have become difficult and seemingly impossible sometimes.

“However, it is possible if we can come together with the strongest of determination to say enough is enough, I believe we can do it,” the Fulani group leaders said.

He disclosed that the National Human Rights Commission is now investigating the Nigerian Air Force over the massacre of herders in Nasarawa.

“The NHRC is now investigating military authorities for extrajudicial killings of innocent pastoralists. They were labeled as criminals and killed extrajudicially,” he added.

Speaking on the Benue anti-open grazing law, he said the group lost its case at the State High Court in Makurdi but has appealed against the judgement.

“We have lost our case against the Benue State government challenging the anti-open grazing law at High Court 1 sitting in Makurdi, however, we have appealed against the judgement. We have expended close to N8m on that case.

“Thanks to our elder statesman who does not want mentioned here who paid differently to the coffers of the lawyer N6m, we have been struggling with the remaining fees.”

Story!

156 fulanis killed, 7,000 of their cows killed.

But that clown on twitter, Sarki and his gang are spreading propaganda video that ESN killed their cows that wasn't up to 30.

Fulani people should thank the Nigerian military and Hausa people who always speak for and defend them over the years.

If not, the degree of pains they have caused local farmers on their native lands is enough to declare war against them across the country.

You must be stupid to come to my village, destroy our farms, kill our people, rape our women and think we won't retaliate.

So you are still interested to gather further to distroy life's in this nation? It will not work for you, remember even the sand of our land will fight against you.

Zxcvbnmghtr:

They already signed treaty with oyo farmers.


That should bother you heavily

“A Hausa man killing a Fulani man and a Fulani man killing a Hausa man is such a big challenge. All of them are Muslims in Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and so many other states in Northern Nigeria and our revered fathers are keeping quiet.

Show us an Hausa Sultan or Emir, if not please stop using them for propaganda.
Hausa Fulani is a myth.

blood sucking violent loving ....

Toh

To be fair, they often get profiled and killed.

To be fair, they often get profiled and killed. A pregnant Fulani woman and her 4 kids were killed by IPOB in 2022.

The problem is that the Fulani have refused to change their nomadic lifestyle despite the fact that it is now unsustainable.
They should acquire land and stay one place. Their roaming with cattle is the major cause of tension across the country.

If you see the kind of protection they get, the rest of us looks like foreigners in this country. Now that is a recipe for disaster.

Taqqiya! Reversed psychology! And what about the atrocities including the annihilation war the Fulanis has visited upon the hapless ethnic nationals in this nation.

Fulanis are the ones killing Nigerians already, but he is saying that Fulanis are being set up.

NO wahala!

Dey play anytime I'm traveling in commercial vehicle and Fulani enter I dey change car
Terrorists wey don profile theirselves with innocent people blood finish
I don profile them sotey last wey I take fura da nono na 2019

Minority causing troubles everywhere; na that stupid Buhari who gave you people AK-47 I blame. How many Nigerians can afford AK-47?

Haaaaah. You get the point!
Did you hear him say that both Hausa and Fulani are Muslims?
That's what Uthman Dan Fodio told Hausa people as he killed their king! "Your King is practicing the bad form of Islam" Just like that.
Buhari tried to fast-forward Fulani conquest of Nigeria, and he has almost succeeded.
Fulanis are the only group permitted to kill, rape and destroy farmers properties without repercussion. Let's see how far they will go.
