Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG) has expressed displeasure at the deliberate misrepresentation of the indigenous demography of Yorubaland in Southwest Nigeria by the Secretary General of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Usman Baba-Ngelzerma.

Mr. Baba-Ngelzerma was quoted to have, during a live TV interview, said “In Ondo and most of the Southern states, we have indigenous pastoralists whose fathers were brought up in those states and those who are there today were also brought up there. So, if you ask them to go, they won’t know where to go because they know these states as their own states.”

The pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group, in a statement published on its website on Sunday said there is no Fulani settlement in any part of Southwest Nigeria that fits the dictionary definition of indigenous.

“There is no Fulani man or woman living in any part of Southwest Nigeria that can own the ancestral history of the community as his or her family’s history. Conversely, there is none among the Fulani families that first settled in Yorubaland whose history of migration cannot be told by the indigenous Yoruba people,” the statement, signed by the group’s publicity secretary, Kunle Famoriyo, said.

“The deliberate use of words that confer on the Fulani people a status that is not theirs constitutes a security threat and does not portray MACBAN and its members as peace-loving people. The subtlety in Baba-Ngelzerma’s choice of words is another confirmation of the MACBAN’s alleged surreptitious plan to grab and claim ancestral land for its members through inappropriate means.

“Baba-Ngelzerma’s claim that there are Fulani people who do not know any other place as their ancestry other than their place of birth owes its plot to mischief, deliberate distortion of facts, and a devilish plan to redraw the demography of indigenes of Southwest Nigeria,” it added.

The group acknowledges that “migration is a global phenomenon and anyone should be able to live in any part of the world that suits his or her ambition” but stated that “the ease of integration of a settler into a society is never determined by the settler’s terms, but by his or her readiness to abide by the laws and norms of the society.

“As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as Romans do. MACBAN members and other Fulani herdsmen want to settle here on their own terms and by employing the most repugnant and vicious strategy, which the Ondo State governor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, has been stood firmly against.”

Nice one from Afenifere. They should do more by banishing people like Tinubu who are only emboldening the terrorist Fulanis with their reckless statements of how the Fulanis and Yorubas are one and the same

Louder!

Nawa o, settlers want to be indigenes. Impossicant!

what the Cattle rustlers are doing with the south shows just how weak our southern politicians are..


They mock our governors,kill our men,rape our women.


and still turn around to throw it in our faces.

I remember that Sound Sultan's song.

All Fulani are foreign to Nigeria

BiafraInc:

Evil, devilish yoruba people. They caused the current problem, from their overzealous politicians to their jealous ordinary populace. The hatred against Igbos is eating them up. Let them embrace the fulanis as a way of keeping Igbos by force inside their myopic one nigeria while they pay the price by fulani occupying their lands. Foolish people.

is Azikiwe that basically begged the north from making their own country Yoruba?
Is Azikiwe that stopped the seccesion clause because he wanted eboe domination Yoruba?
Are the 1st coupists Yoruba?
Is ironsi that destroyed regionalism Yoruba?
Ironsi that failed to punish the coup plotters is he Yoruba?
Azikiwe miraculously was out of the country while everyone else was slaughtered
Was that caused by Yoruba?
is Azikiwe that went to use a Yoruba founded party to partner with the north Yoruba

When you know that you are suffering from the stupidity of your forbears
you'll get better
You wanted domination
enjoy

For those reading this
Greed is more dangerous than a viper
Greed + foolishness is worse than the devil

another RUGA in camouflage.

This is all Tinumbus fault, he was the one that dressed in agbada and travelled all the way to Kano to say Fulanis and Yorubas are one.

Fulani and Yoruba are one - Tinubu

Imagine your tenant wanting to co-own your house with you?


Well, I don't blame MACBAN at all; I blame Tinubu and his disciples.

This afere (you know what I mean ****) man don't even know his people again.
Well I blame it on old age, considering the man's age.
On behalf of indigenous Fulani of South West and reasonable Yorubas, I hereby call for the immediate removal of this Afere man on the grounds that he is pushing a section of the good South West to the mud and undermining their existence.
Lets be reasonable please.
God bless the Indigenous Fulani of SW
God bless Yorubas worldwide
God bless Afonjas

So they've started claiming indigenous to SW? In years to come, they will insist on it and start killing anyone that challenges them. Decades later, they would carve out territories and have fulani rulers and government representatives. Exactly what they did in Jos North and parts of Taraba!

Well they can always try such in other places but never Igboland.

But members of YMM Yoruba Muslims Miscreants are saying otherwise

Am sure mumuric will release a statement of how is grand father slept with a fulani fura seller therefore the fulanis are step brothers to his ancestors.

FakeUnity:
There are NO indigenous fulanis in the geographical area currently known as nigeria.

Every fulani creature is a migrant from futa jallon in the uphills of Guinea.

I have really missed Yinka Odumakin. I did not believe he passed away until I saw his corpse.

Only a handful of Yorubas can stand shoulder high & walk in Yinka Odumakin’s shoes.

Some paid BMC bastards said Tinubu paid his medical bills & was flown abroad for a surgery when he had a swollen arm.

But these bastards failed to mention that it was during the administration of the greedy heroin-sniffing bastard of bourdillon when they were still together.

Yinka Odumakin fell out with Tinubu in 2006.

Was it that you didn’t have money when I told you in December 2006 that it was over between us politically? Have I ever looked in your direction ever?

I recall how you said to me in 2006 about Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi and I quote you “Adiye ni Tokunbo, yin agbado fun a pada” (Tokunbo is a fowl, throw corns and it is U-turn). Has he not turned his back at you today? You don’t have “corns ” again? This was the man who was your fall guy when you made all the forgeries in 1999. He was among the team that went to bury your biological mother in Iragbiji when you could not show your face, has his exit not shown you there are men who place value on principle than money? ~ Yinka Odumakin

If not for Tinubu, these uncircumcised Fulani bastards wouldn’t be claiming indigenous rights over my ancestral land with me in South West.

When Pa Fasoronti’s daughter was murdered at Ore by these uncircumcised Fulani bastards, the only question that this greedy & self-serving bastard could ask was WHERE ARE THEIR COWS?

In an attempt to absolve these uncircumcised Fulani bastards of their grevious crimes and also to preserving his selfish interest of ruling Nigeria - which will NEVER EVER COME TO PASS.

One wonders, do the Fulanis go with their cattles whenever they embark on their rampage of havoc & destruction?

Some other paid BMC bastards on Nairaland always chant the mantra “YORUBA, DEFEND YOUR OWN”.

Of course, I will defend my own when my own defends me.

I will defend my own, when my own is remorseful & admits his grievous mistake for foisting an illiterate, certificateless, quota-system calamity on me as a President in the name of messiah.

I will defend my own, when half of the 9Billion Naira Tinubu makes from the IGR in Lagos EVERY MONTH is transferred to my GTBANK & Zenith Bank Accounts.

Until then, Oku e lo ma gbè pada bo wa si ilu Eko lati London (Na him dead body dem go carry come back to Lagos from London).

Except I, Omo Oduduwa tokan-tokan, “Zoharariel Underscore Obatala aka Iskander-M of Ijebuland” have not been at the receiving end of Tinubu’s greed & self-serving interests; Sango and all the Gods of my ancestors shall obliterate & cast into the abyss, every bastard (including all their family members) that defends Tinubu directly or indirectly on this matter. Ase!

We need

Technically,

There is a common

We have indegenous igbos in Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Plateau, Adamawa, Gombe, Sokoto, Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger and Taraba whom their great grandfathers were born and brought up in these listed states as far back as 1670 - in fact they dont even know the road to the east!

Fulani no get sense i swear ra gad!

NaijirianKing:
Technically, all tribes came from other places and settled in the area we now call Nigeria.

Some came 900 years ago, some 500 years ago, and some 5 minutes ago. This country is vast, and has resources enough for all tribes. It's not about when the tribe came into this space, it's about the fact that the tribe is in this space that matters.

We are all Nigerians.

nonesense
Prove this trash

Fulani have no land in Nigeria
We will still send you back to wherever you come from

NaijirianKing:
There is a common myth that we need to dispell, and that is the myth that Fulani are not also indigenous to the south.

Many Fulani have lived in what is now southern Nigeria for hundreds of years, many in isolation from other groups, but still living in the south all the same.

As such, it is wrong to say that Fulani are not indigenous to the "south", the same way you have Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, Ijaw, you also have Fulani.

It is only recently that tribalists have pushed the narrative that Fulani are only indigenous to the Northernmost parts of the country.

You are not even indigenous in the north, talkless of being indigenious in anywhere in the South.

tobeye:
see how nnamdi Kanu has opened everybody eye to speak, but they won't give him the credit

when will you stop repeating this trash for goodness sake!the fact that you father was blind and kanu open his eyes doesn't mean every other Person are blind like your father.those people have been fighting for Yoruba rights before they even born kanu father so for you to be saying cownu open their eyes show how senseless you are.

How? But someone said they are siamiese cousins to a thunderous roar of cheering from the Yoruba nation. How can your cousin be alien ?
