The only threat to Christianity in Nigeria is Yorubas. If Yorubas are as resolute as Igbos, Hausa-Fulani cannot dare what they are doing in Nigeria.


Yorubas are the enemy of Nigeria''s Christianity, and by the time they will realise their mistake of padying with bloodsucking Fulanis, it will be too late because so much damage must have been done already

Sadly the Yorubas have allegiance to the caliphate via Tinubu and to Adeboye via RCCG.

unfortunately, our southern Muslim brothers and sisters too are falling victim of herdsmen attacks because they don't even see them as true worshippers of Allah. So biased set of people. I just pity that muric leader...i mean akintola who doesn't know his right from left.

They are slaves to The ISLAMIC caliphate.

Typical of Ndi Oyibo.. Always spewing trash about the African Continent... Very inconsiderate people

There's no war against Africa's Christians

But Christians have been under attack most recently, and the Fulani people hasn’t been tagged TERRORIST by this present administration but IPOB are terrorist . This is more than Ndi Oyibo. I don’t believe everything written there but surely there are some atom of truth by the body language of our mumu President.

You are not getting me bro!
My point is that some people would work in cohorts with the Fulanis because they think they are doing their bit for the spread of Islam.
The Fulanis are masters of hiding being religion, there is no doubt they are the custodians of Islam in Nigeria.
Brother i understand you, am aware of the fulani and their mischief, but you have to understand that has long has the yoruba tradition stand there is no room for religious war, because our tradition is the symbol of our unity. And am aware that their traitors amongs but i pray their plans will fail.

Dont worry brethren there is no wisdom no plan that can withstand the growth of the church


This is not matter of Church
The Fulani jihadist kill both atheists and traditionalists.

They even fight and kill their fellow Muslims(Hausa) in Zamfara State, Mali, Burkina Faso etc
The last time I checked, the church of Adeboye have no problem with the killings as long as Osibanjo remains in the government.

This is not about religion,
It's about the Fulani using Islam to carry out ethnic cleansing all over Nigeria and West Africa, they kill both traditionalists and atheists. They even kill the Hausa people and fight their fellow Muslims in Burkina Faso, Mali and other Sahelian countries, so stop trying to twist the news.
you say this isn't about religion but what's the thread title? Then you go on to write it's about Fulani using Islam to carry out ethnic cleansing- how does that sound unreligious to you? They use religion to commit murder and it's still not about religion. Read the thread. Please tell me how I'm trying to twist the news?
See black man.
In the end both Islam and Christianity are abrahamic religions wether from the whites or from the Arabs. Both were instruments of Slavery and oppression both have longer term effect on the basic ability of individuals to ask questions when the truth is blurry. And both will be the reason the black race becomes extint so, get on with it then.
how?

The culture, education and values of the SW people does not leave room for such parochial concerns and pursuits.

That is why such fights never gain traction anytime some misinformed misfits try to inspire such concerns.

That’s why MURIC and other such organizations set up and seconded to the caliphate in the North, who serve such parochial purposes are mostly noise makers that have no support base.

It is also why the Northern Muslims detest the SW Muslims; because they can’t be brainwashed.

Exactly bro! you have said it all.

I don't how most of you peeps reason like this
Have you seen a Christian killing Christians because of religion in this 21century
But we are currently seeing shite and Sunni decimate each other in middle east.

You guys don't understand when shit hits the fan this northern Moslems won't recognize any southern Moslems
When they start their killing spree.
Because they choose tribe and religion first and southern moslems are not Moslem enough for them.
Don't be a foolish tool in hands of evil ones.

Majority of the victims of the crises are peasant farmers and herders, trying to give it a religious background and struggle is mischievious and misleading.


I don’t care if it’s religious war they are trying to fight or not. I believe no one has the power to give and take any life and by now the Fulani should be declared terrorist group in Nigeria already .

This is a misleading Article. The struggle is for resources , and not religion. This conflict has been going on for years.
It is news everywhere now because of the frequency and deadly nature of the raids has increased, and the media now find it newsworthy to promote whatever agenda they have in mind.

I stopped reading when he was having the interaction with the Fulani boy about the "German Insignia (swastika)". grin. This interaction is a Faaat Lie.
What does a local Fulani boy with no western education know about swastika , not to talk of Nazi Germany. grin I laff. Im very sure it was just coincidence the boy wearing the swastika logo shirt, not knowing the story behind the logo, innocently bought at a bend down select and you have a visiting journalist who is biased , writing an article about Islamisation. What a perfect match for a wonderful story.
And common man, that boy doesn't look Fulani, we all know how Fulani look like and most times dress.

And from the Authors name "Levy", definitely Jewish. We know how Jews and Muslims roll. wink

The author does not know that even core Muslim states like Zamfara and Katsina have parts of it under siege by this same Fulani. Parts of Birnin gwari area in Kaduna is a no go zone and has been facing this challenge for many years by the same Fulani militia.

The article was on point till the tilt towards Islamisation and cooked up interaction with fulanis, we know there is a serious conflict going on , but don't come and add your own Maggi to the story to favour you and your sponsors.

Now his gullible readers and many Nigerians would swallow this story hook, line and sinker.
The media is really powerful. Nonsense.


I don’t believe in everything in the right up and I also don’t believe Fulani people are really against one religion but my own question is why Fulani herdsman hasn’t been declared terrorist group and IPOB is declared Terrorist. I don’t see any sense in that aspect.

bokoharam are not made of Fulani. I see a lot of Ignorant post here. Boko haram fighters are mostly kanuris from the borno/yobe axis. Shekau, Mohammed Yusuf etc are all kanuris. Many Muslim don't even take nomadic Fulanis as Muslims because they hardly pray or observe Islamic rules. You guyz won't know this but want to believe whatever you want....funny enough there are many Fulani Christians in the Adamawa axis

This is not about Christian's love for themselves it's about murder. A group sets out with a mission to cast terror in the hearts of the innocent.

Las las, dem go help us set Nigeria on fire! When did Fulanis start targeting Christians or people based on their faith either in the south or in the North?
Boko Haram has killed more Muslims than Christians. Even till today, if a Muslim and a Christian are captured, the fate of the captured Muslim one is immediately sealed by sentencing him or her to death while the Christian one would be kept alive for whatever reason. An average Nigerian is a fanatic, liar and sensationalist either Muslim or Christian.

You are struggling from a lack of nuance by seeing the world as binary.
Just because Boko haram targets both Muslim and Christians doesn't make them non-muslim.
It isn't today that fanatical members of a group start attacking the moderate members.

Another mistake you make is thinking that all Fulanis are the same.
They are not.
They have different subgroups spread throughout Africa that are involved in both nomadic and targeted violence.
Yes, Fulanis may also fall victim to other Fulanis but that in no way exonerate the Fulani bandits.
The bandits are still Fulanis whose goal is to dominate others.

It is through the "lies" and "sensationalism" of the average Nigerian that the Benue massacre was halted.

Why is the FG reluctant in fighting these bandits?

It is the same thing with Muric extremist and the Sharia CJN. They may not represent all Muslims
but they are working for Islamic domination nonetheless.

The question you should ask yourself is this, should the fanatic win, will the moderate oppose them?

This is an article by the WSJ one of the oldest and most reputable print media in the world.

Everything written in the article was researched and the writer met with the people he was writing about.

Rape of non Muslim females is encouraged in Islam. MuhaMAD himself did it through out his career as a fake prophet.

Fulanis have ALWAYS fought under the banner of Jihad, just as they did under Usman Dan Fodio.

Sirjamo:
This is a misleading and mischievous article. Fulani don't fight for Islam, they fight for their Animals. Majority of nomadic Fulani don't believe in any religion, they don't go to mosque, neither do they offer Salat anywhere.

Boko haram too might be claiming Islam, but they are deceiving themselves. Whenever their camps get raided by security agents, they always find thousands of Condoms, alcohol, hard drugs and women they keep as sex slaves. Rape alone is punishable by death in Islam so all Boko haram has been sentenced to death Insha Allah, thousands of our Mujahedin in the civilian JTF have been helping the military to destroy those unfortunate infidels called Boko haram, because they have no place in Islam and the World!!!
