ENUGU MASSACRE: Northern Govs Under Fire… For Defending Fulani by ritababe(f): 6:37am On May 01, 2016 |
The 19 northern governors came under criticism yesterday over their position that the Fulani should not be labelled as criminals. The Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, asked the governors to bury their heads in shame over their position which came in the wake of the heat generated by the attack on Ukpabi-Ninbo community in Enugu State by suspected Fulani herdsmen, last Monday. Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) also condemned the governors. The northern governors, who met in Kaduna, on Friday, had taken a strong exception to the branding of perpetrators of crimes around the country as Fulani. The Chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) and Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, who spoke on behalf of the group,said it was an insult to consider criminals as Fulani. Afenifere, yesterday, faulted the governors’ position, asking them to bury their heads in shame. The Yoruba group, which spoke through their National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, told Sunday Vanguard: “It (the northern governors’ position) is a sign of unfeeling, uncaring for any group today to come out and say that those who have been causing problems and killing people in the Middle Belt and the South are not Fulani herdsmen. They have killed in Agatu land, Enugu; a traditional ruler was killed in Delta State; they killed Chief Olu Falae’s guard and also kidnapped Chief Falae himself. For some people to gather and call themselves northern governors, and have no sympathy for lives than to be defending the Fulani herdsmen, shows clearly that it is a tragedy of monumental proportion to be in the same country with these elements. You also begin to wonder if the blood of human beings runs in their veins because anybody that has human blood running in his veins will not come and say that Fulani herdsmen are not responsible. What nonsense.” The Afenifere spokesperson went on: “I think the northern governors should bury their heads in shame. I do not think they are fit to be in the comity of civilized human beings. If the attackers are not Fulani herdsmen, where have they struck in the North-West? Why are their activities only in the Middle Belt and in the South? That is the question these northern governors should answer. When militants were blowing up pipelines in the South-South, were they not called Niger Delta militants? Do they want us to call them Yoruba herdsmen?” In a statement, the IYC described the northern governors’ position as an affront on other nationalities. Spokesman for the group, Eric Omare, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard, said the governors stance was disappointing and a tacit support for criminality and Fulani herdsmen pillaging of their host communities. His words, “The statement by the northern governors is disappointing and a tacit support for criminality and the ongoing Fulani herdsmen terrorism. “If they are interested in peace in Nigeria, they ought to be more concerned about the implication of the activities of the Fulani herdsmen rather than a perceived insult on the Fulani race. “The IYC condemns the stand taken by the northern governors and calls on southern leaders to brace up for the challenges ahead. “Furthermore, we wish to state that part of the reason Boko Haram grew to become a national problem was the tacit support given to them by northern political leaders and this Fulani herdsmen terrorism is taking the same pattern; hence it must be taken seriously.” www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/enugu-massacre-northern-govs-fire-defending-fulani/ 67 Likes 2 Shares |

Good. Nice one from Afenifere The Afenifere spokesperson went on: “I think the northern governors should bury their heads in shame. I do not think they are fit to be in the comity of civilized human beings. If the attackers are not Fulani herdsmen, where have they struck in the North-West? Why are their activities only in the Middle Belt and in the South? The thunder that will strike those Northern governors is still receiving training in Mount Olympus. They should bury their bald heads in shame. 227 Likes 13 Shares |

“Furthermore, we wish to state that part of the reason Boko Haram grew to become a national problem was the tacit support given to them by northern political leaders and this Fulani herdsmen terrorism is taking the same pattern; hence it must be taken seriously.” ^^ This is just the fact, No wonder Buhari said "An attack on Bokoharam is an attack on the north", The heartless governors just did the same for Fulani herdsmen. 191 Likes 12 Shares |

Frenchkiss564:Can you see why the north is more United??... The governors came together and spoke in one voice - "stop calling Fulani herdsmen criminals", Afenifere did the right thing by speaking, Ohaneze has done the same, IYF has done the same, Even IYC. Besides, this herdsmen menace is happening all around the SOUTH. 150 Likes 7 Shares |

I marvel at the way with which the northern elites defend, protect and justify the acts of their commons even in the face of stark obviousity of the wickedness of their actions. How I which the south will emulate this act of protecting your own, but if wishes were horses beggars would ride. The SW and SE especially will always fight over their ego, which is politically irrelevant and also double as their Achilles heel, their only unifying feature is celebrating the misfortune of their perceive rival. The earlier the south wake up to the reality of the power of their political, economical and social unity their regions hold the better for the political, economical and social future of this country. 30 Likes 6 Shares |

What nonsense.they are animals in human skin ....middle belt governors were there and couldn't address the issue instead they supported the trash blurted out by Shettima......if Fulani herdsmen grow to become national problem it should be within their region like bokoharam......we don't want them in South west 42 Likes 2 Shares |

The greatest mistake of this herdsmen is to attack igboland. They didn't expect this level of coordinated media attack on their Region, people and way of life ,that is even attracting unprecedented level of local and international attention. They probably thought it was another agatu, Ondo or mile 12. 102 Likes 7 Shares |

This is the problem with the northerners.They think about the north and never border about Nigeria.Whenever befall other part of the country is inconsequential to them.Their periority is welfare of the north and for the north.And someone will tell us,there is an entity call NIGERIA.But most southerners will always want us to believe Nigeria first irrespective of your geopolitical area. The southern part of this country should brace up.The south east and south west should bury their differences and form an allied to confront the northerners.This will go a long way to liberate this country from othman Dan Fodio ideology of the north. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

Northerners are the most tribalistic people in Nigeria. Those yeye facial tribal marked govs were only concerned about herdsmen being branded terrorists and not the lives killed! The northern elites are quiet and not condemning their inhumane acts too cause its their cattles that are being normaded by those herdsmen 63 Likes 4 Shares |

CSTR2: I dont know the problem of your kids, they have been attacking the South for long. They even killed an Enugu chief few months ago, raped women in Imo and killed many in Ebonyi, stop trying to mock the Agatu people. I dont know why you kids always try to turn every thread to a chest beating one, grow up. Kudos to the Afenifere, those 19 devilish governors should shut there mouth. You cant call the ND guys Niger delta militants and cry for calling those terrorist, fulani herdsmen. I hate hypocrites. 66 Likes 3 Shares |

Their defense is just too weird, Benue state was attacked by Fulani herdsmen and even a reconciliatory/mediatory meeting was held between the Maitea'Allah and the Agautu tribe (Live on AIT). On Grazing Reserve Bill, they should just forget that! The question is, for who is the reserve gonna be and where? Not in Saki anyway and if it happens, its certainly not for Fulani Cow trailers. The amount of monies sunk on irrigation farming and aforestation program in the North is enough to buy(grow) them lush vegetation for grazing. So why eyeing dis-united southern governors' land. 4 Likes |

Super1Star: The hoisted flag story died naturally when the constituency members decided to investigate the matter. Am not justifying what one commenter posted that made other ethnicities look cowardly, I only feel the abia flag incident was not in away similar to the killings going on by the Fulani. Is it arochukwu that would sit and won't retailiate to Fulani's madness? Or is it the ngwa people that won't roast them and their cattle alive for dinner should it ever occur in their communities? Or is it aba or umuahia that the Fulani's want to rampage? See eh, abia state is a flash point, such Fulani madness won't dare come close, and if it does, they and their cattle's should rest in peace RIP. 34 Likes 1 Share |
