Fulani Grazing Land Master Plan by Mbeki: 6:41am On Feb 02, 2017 |
The Gross influx of Fulani herdsmen presently and now calls for the sharing of this history. By John T All JUKUNS SHOULD READ THIS. The story is told of how King Yunfa, the Hausa Sarki in Gobir (now called Sokoto) hosted a Fulani immigrant called Usman Dan Fodiyo and his group in February 1804, as a result of this and since 1808 the whole of the northern region lost its kingdoms and were replaced by Fulani emirates. King Yunfa is said to have been killed in 1808 and the Fulani warrior (Usman Dan Fodiyo) established Sokoto caliphate, making himself Sultan. Gradually, other Hausa kingdoms were pillaged and taken over by the Fulani emirs. The ethnic groups in the core north were the first victims of Fulani imperialism, a venture that occurred because the people were given access to grazing land as a result of the hospitality of the hosts. They however failed to overrun the Bornu and Jukun kingdoms , so the Shehu of Bornu and Aku Uka remains paramount till today! The Afonja dynasty compromised by allowing a Fulani warrior known as Janta Alimi to settle in Ilorin, the Fulani guerrillas killed Afonja in 1824 And Ilorin, a Yoruba town under the Oyo empire, fell into Fulani hands, becoming an emirate under Sokoto caliphate till today! Even the attempts of the O'odua People's Congress (OPC) to revert to status quo ante and crown an Onilorin of Ilorin became an exercise in futility. The Yoruba warriors got wise and defeated the Fulani jihadists in Osogbo in 1840, if this didn't happen there would most likely have been Fulani "emirs" as rulers in Oyo Alaafin, Ibadan, Owo, Osogbo, Ede, Ado, and Igede Ekiti today! If the Bini Kingdom did not fight and repel the jihadists, they would have penetrated the Edo/Delta region beyond the present day Edo North Senatorial District which gave in and allowed the jihadists to overrun & islamize them. Along with some ignorant folk most of them are now angling for grazing areas and a corridor through the entire federation. These grazing areas will in future become Fulani settlements, later commmunities and finally local government areas with elected officials. If you think I am being alarmist look towards the once beautiful and serene Middle Belt state of Plateau. The exact same thing happened in Jos. Therefore, it will not be farfetched to conclude that the Fulani herdsmen are pawns in an agenda to overrun all towns in Nigeria! So that we will have emirs in Owerri, Enugu, Benin, Agatu,Wukari, Abeokuta and other towns where FG creates "grazing reserves" for Fulani herdsmen! If Yunfa didn't accommodate Fodio and his warlike immigrants from Futatoro, Hausa sarkis would be ruling today in the north! And if Afonja didn't conspire with Alimi, a Yoruba kingdom would not have been ruled by Alimi's offspring till today! It is a subtle continuation of the 1804 Fulani jihad by the fully-armed and protected Fulani herdsmen with an age-old agenda to overrun and Islamize the whole of Nigeria very quickly. I will end this with what someone rightly said- "The grazing bill is not an attempt to solve the problem, it's a subterfuge to progress the agenda" It's an age-old political strategy really- ..create a problem, come up with a "solution" that advances the cause, and then give it a legal backing. Make it look like a win-win situation. Be as wise as serpents.... 9 Likes 3 Shares |

I said it here once that there is nothing like Hausa/Fulani dichotomy. Its just Fulani who reign supreme. The Hausa's have been long decimated and their lands taken away from them. They are just using Hausa/Fulani to cover front 4 Likes 1 Share |

Did you know that that governor of Benue state has just signed a land lease agreement with Fula herdsmen? The coward with jelly innards said its purpose was to avert more bloodshed. Doesn't he know the history of this people? Is he gonna claim to be ignorant of the wiles of the Fulani, and how they have overran communities that welcome them? One would think he would be antagonistic to their request for grazing lands after the recent mass slaughter at Agatu and continued killings all over Benue state. Instead, he went belly up the moment herdsmen requested to lease thousands of hectares of land within the state. Their annihilation just started. 4 Likes |

I am happy we in the south east and south south and parts of south west have stated clearly that no grazing reserve shall run through our lands. They told us that 80% of the land mass of Nigeria belongs to them, so they must restrict their grazing activities in the North We don't have land down south. 3 Likes |

Benue Governor is an illiterate, who knows not his left from right. Besides, Benue people are caught in the middle, they are neither North or South, but they see themselves as Northerners, bearing such name as Umoru(Umar), Ali, Adamu, Haruna etc. They support the core North that sees them as willing and available tools to advance their causes. They were the ones used for Biafra War, and the Karma from that war is being visited on them. Their master who sent them on errand are the one wiping them out today. |

Thanks Mbeki for this Thrilling Thread. May The God of Nigeria bless you abundantly. Now research into these Characters, are they Hausas or Fulani offsprings? Emir of Zaria, Emir of Katsina, Emir of Ilorin, Emir of Daura, Shehu Shagari, Sani Yerima, ElRufai, Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubarkar, Kwankwaso, Saraki, Dogara, etcetera? |
Re: Fulani Grazing Land Master Plan by Mbeki: 6:01pm On Feb 02, 2017 |
If they are not, they are placed by them, we are looking at 3 centuries historical facts. Nigeria don't have any proper birth/death record history, so tracking their family tree is another project. |

Interesting write up! Is there still any recognisable distinction between the Hausas and Fulani's today? Is there any Northern town being ruled by Hausas? Kanuris rule Maiduguri for instance. |
Re: Fulani Grazing Land Master Plan by Opakan2: 9:29pm On Feb 02, 2017 |
It's the SE I pity most.. instead of them to stay and invest at home securing the place. , they are busy running to other regions to claim 'no mans land' there I hope they wont cry when the Hausas/Fulanis move their cattle to the grasslands in SE since it's also no mans land Time will tell 1 Like |
