We need to know. I believe they didn't bring Islam to Nigeria. But here we are, it's like their "enlightenment" to us. Where did we miss it? |

Fulanis are stealth and calculating, they are rugged and adaptive of many terrain If you catch a Fulani stealing, he runs off , unknown to you his fellow Fulanis are hanging on trees waiting for an ambush, if you chase him, they capture you by surprise |

The other ethnic groups in Nigeria sold themselves when they decided to gang up with the fulanis against the Igbos. This is most sincere explanation you can get. To destroy the chains round them, they'll need to support Igbos wholeheartedly to unbundle the evil system. The fulanis and their allies are even less than 1/3 of Nigeria so this shouldn't be difficult. The main problem remains if these other tribes can go beyond the prejudice they've built over time against the Igbos. If they can, I can bet you that the fight won't even last long before everyone is free from the invaders. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Fejoku: You might replace the Fulani with Igbo at long run with this mood. It's like replacing one overbearing "master race" with another one. Possibly Nigeria is a tango between Igbo liberators and Fulani conquerors from this analogy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Fejoku:Revisionist No Its the other way round......ibos sold the rest to the fulanis. Nnamdi Azikwe caused the whole problem.....he was used to fight his southern brothers because of power.....he eventually became a ceremonial president , umsatisfied with the ceremonial post he planned a coup targeting political leaders of other tribes...that was where Northerners came in and that marked the begining of northern domination..( if it were southerners that has the experience of northerners in 1966 they will hold on to power too)....... Let me repeat again....instead of ibos engaging in all these revisionism...intimidation...harassment, blackmail....of other tribes they should apologise for the sins of their sons for their role in 1966 coup , this will be the begining of genuine reconciliation. Not all these chest beating ......ibos alone cannot fight over 300 of us , stop trying you will never succeed. If ibos were the victims of the 1966 coup they will react the same way if not worse than other tribes are now. Other tribes have feelings too, nobody will ever trust whoever behaved the way ibos behaved in 1966 and the way they have been behaving since GEJ lost in 2015. Nobody is a FOOL if you think its by threatening and intimidating the rest of us lets see how you can go facing over 300 tribes 4 Likes 1 Share |

Jerryherd:After the first coup happened, it was recorded that people all across Nigeria were jubilating that a corrupt government has been weeded out including the Tivs that were been slaughtered under the directive of Ahmadu Bello. All of a sudden, the narrative changed that Igbos wanted to Lord over other tribes. It was no longer about young patriotic soldiers cleaning the system. This marked the beginning of the infamous pogrom of the 60s. Tens of thousands of Igbos were slaughtered all across Northern Nigeria in which smaller tribes in the middlebelt today actively participated. There were fewer attacks against the Igbos in the West too. This was the beginning of the naive support for the fulanis to take over Nigeria. What really prompted the coup in the first place? From I read, there was a plan of a jihad spearheaded by Ahmadu Bello. He was directly controlling the Prime minister Tafawa Balewa at the time. He ensured that Awolowo was sent to jail to pave way for the conquest of the West. He openly boasted about the destruction of the AG upon the incarceration of Awo. The Tiv uprising as written in mainstream media was more of a revolt against the constant killing of their people for refusing to be subservient to the fulani. The same continues today. Therefore, taking him out of the scene should have been accepted as a big achievement every peaceful tribe but that wasn't the case. Fast forward to Ironsi's government who couldn't improve on the situation giving the tempo of the time. He failed to exploit the situation and balance the power play as it should be which bought time for the middlebelt tribes to unite with the bruised fulanis to get back to power. Gowon and Theophilus Danjuma are still alive and should be speaking out currently except if they are satisfied with the present situation. Ojukwu came into the scene and called for a confederation at Aburi, Ghana. If Gowon was to have stuck to the gentlemen agreement, perhaps the story today could have been palatable. As we all know, he didn't and a war was forced on the Igbos and other eastern groups. Other tribes passionately enlisted to go and fight for the fulanis thinking they're fighting for Nigeria. We all know the level of destruction both materially and socially the war had on us all. The middlebelt tribes only started to get the idea what was amiss after Gowon was booted out of power. This led to the Dimka coup and also to the Orkar coup. However, they couldn't have the backbone to effectively break through the fulani control likely because Igbos(a powerful group) has been edged out of the power equation. All these other groups didn't know that by the single act of joining forces to edge our Igbos, they have also put themselves in a disadvantaged position. Today, we all can confirm this point. Will other tribes be willing to vote in an Igbo president? Will they wholeheartedly work with Igbos to free themselves from the killing fields of the fulanis or will they continue to pretend as more people are slaughtered daily? 8 Likes 3 Shares |

louqas: Setting the records Straight ... How Fulanis created the hatred for Igbos "Let the truth be told. The People involved in that so called 1966 “Igbo coup” were: 1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (Midwest Region Igbo) 2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “Why we struck” 3. Capt. G. Adeleke (Western Region – Yoruba). 4. Maj. Ifeajuna (Midwestern Region – Igbo). 5. Lt. Fola Oyewole (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “The reluctant rebel”. 6. *Lt. Robert (Bob) Egbiko* (Midwestern Region – Ishan). 7. Lt. Tijani Katsina (Northern Region – Hausa/Fulani). 8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan (Western Region – Yoruba). 9. Capt. Gibson Jalo (Northern Region – Bachama). 10. Capt. Swanton (Northern Region – Middle Belt). 11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Midwest – Urhobo). 12. Lt. Dag Warribor (Midwest – Ijaw) 13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Northern Nigeria -Hausa) 14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Northern Nigeria-Tiv). The reason for calling the 1966 Coup an Igbo exercise is because the government of Nigeria has refused teaching Nigerian History in our schools. And core North has been busy misinforming Nigerians that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup. 8 Likes |

Fejoku: I will never habour prejudice against anyone, talkless of the Igbo ethnic group. I am actually saying you are seeing it from "Igbo against the Fulani" affair. You are clamouring for the support of the Igbo by other ethnic groups to undo the Fulani hegemony. Why not rally the indigenous people together and not be another "champion" is what I'm saying. Those Fulani are "champions" already, don't play their game to liberate the downtrodden. Device a different game if possible. |

Fejoku: The last part make sense, the opening part is how you as an Igbo man choose to remember. I am Yoruba and my sentiments may come across to you as prejudice. If the Igbo have a credible candidate, the south should be wise enough to get the fellow to power. And isn't Soludo and other great politicians to be found in Igbo land? There might be an inherent "thing" scaring the electorates from making an Igbo man a viable candidate for the office of the president. We all lose at the end, but the Igbo lose more. They are technocrats, business minded and great folks, but the Igbo cohesion to an Igbo cause is more like Fulani cohesion to Fulani course. The Hausa and Yoruba are more reason we are still together. These two groups are kind of open to common nationhood, the Yoruba are indifferent to Nigeria. The Hausa as well. The problem with continual existence of Nigeria is the Fulani and the Igbo. If Fulani will live and let others live, the Igbo will calm down. This is though impossible. The minorities are not agitative as much. If however the Igbo has been passive as were the Yoruba, the south could have been totally transformed to "Sabo" Emirates. 3 Likes |

joyandfaith: That "history" is repeating itself here. While the Christian faith is build on a future with God in a paradise world to come, the wise Islam get it right, it's here and now, by the caliphate. Will the Boko Haram amir wait for God to put an Emirate in place? He would have overran the whole place if he had the resources. Even our men will praise him as "the guided". The first thing to go would have been the western education and it's corollaries like democracy and what have you. The Persians had a rich heritage, history and culture, but the almighty Islam has settled that aspect of their heritage. Allah Akbar. 1 Like 1 Share |

There is nothing like fulani Oligarchy in Nigeria. Many of those northerners you think are fulanis are hausas or other tribes. Presidents that are fulani are shagari and buhari. General Muritala Muhammad tribe is debatable. Fulani do not control the politics, nor the economy etc. You rarely see super rich fulani person. The only thing they control is cattle market. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaC_XVcHxyI. When you ask "what is the protester doing to change the narrative about Nigeria", is it not for the good of the whole people that he's protesting? Once some folks have a means of survival through a lopsided system, they protect it with their last blood. Living large on Nigerian taxes and revenues is a curse to the wicked. 1 Like |

juman:The Bible says man cannot be trusted so it's understandable why you can't trust an Igbo man. I can wager that your tribe if compared to Igbos on the scale of trustworthiness will come out worse. I sincerely have been searching for any genuine reason for the 'fear' a lot of other tribes have for the Igbo but couldn't find any. Are we a violent people? No. Are we feudal such that we will be bent on enslaving others around us? No. Are we uncooperative and partial as to the level of seeing no good in others? I don't think so. Igbos have made non-Igbos leaders in an Igbo dominated institution, organization or society. The same people that accuse us of not loving ourselves are still those that will say we easily rally round ourselves to exclude others. After weighing all the accusations, I found no truth to any of them and therefore concluded that such 'fear'/prejudice is borne out of the uncompetitiveness of the other tribes when compared to the Igbo coupled with the poor diplomatic nature of an average less educated Igbo man. These two combo when added to petty jealousy of seeing Igbos growing wealthy is what has led to this 'fear' and prejudice of Igbo domination. To this end, there's little we can do to assuage such feelings save for the promotion of complete education for all our people on the topic of diplomacy. Any way, all these epistles won't be necessary if we all go our separate ways. |

They are effective at using Taqqiya. Same way they had eaten wanted to use RUGA to pretend to establish ranches across Nigeria, after sometime the leader of the RUGA will be appointed an Emir with First Class status and the leader of the land owners will be made a second class or third class Chief. From the small RUGA the rulers at the state or federal level will recognise the Fulani Emir as ruler of all the adjoining lands with second class chiefs. |
