AFENIFERE, a Pan-Yoruba Socio Political
group yesterday rose from an emergency
meeting in Akure, the Ondo state capital
and called for the stoppage of cattle
rearing activities in the south West
states following the menace of Fulani
herdsmen.


The group said that the activities of the
fulani herdsmen in the states have
endangered the lives of the people.
Spokesman of the group, Yinka Odumakin
said that their activities should be
stopped in” every space of Yorubaland
just as he called for those the arrest of
those who abducted a Chieftain of the
group Chief Olu Falae.


Odumakin declared that ” In the event
this call is not yielded then our people
may result to self help to protect
themselves.
The meeting last over six hours and it
was chaired by its National Chairman, Pa
Reuben Fasoranti at his Country home in
Akure.


They group described the attack and
abduction of one of its leaders who was
the former Secretary to the Government
of the Federation SGF, Chief Olu Falae
as an insult on the race.


A Communique read to newsmen by
Odumakin said “We demand that nomadic
cattle rearing should be stopped in every
state of Yoruba land.
“We believe now that after what has
happened to chief Falae, people would not
tolerate such thing in any part of Yoruba
land .


“So while we await the arrest of the
criminals, the cattle rearing should be
stop in Yoruba land.


“Yoruba people go to any part of the
country to trade,no history or record of
such anywhere that the Yorubas destroy
the business of their host. What we
cannot do to others, nobody should do it
to us.


Odumakin said that the meeting” decried
insecurity in the country as relate to the
unrelenting blood letting by the terrorist
Boko Haram and the wave of unchecked
kidnapping going on in the country.


“A special focus was beam on the recent
abduction of one of our revered leader in
Afenifere,Chief Olu Falae, also a former
secretary to the government of the
federation and former presidential
candidates,while on his farm.


“We describe this as scandalous and
chilling that the harrowing experience of
the 77 year old man in the hands of
vandals,miscreants.


“The Meeting did not considers it as a
mere coincidence that chief Olu Falae for
two to three years has been having
running battles with the Fulani herdsmen
on the very farm before he was
abducted.


“Last of such was about two months
earlier when they enter his farmland and
destroyed it and chief Falae pursue the
matter with the police and grudgingly
accepted half of what the police said
they should pay as compensation.


“The fulani elements coming to abduct
him two months latter, is presumably a
vengeance mission for justice that he
pursued against the invasion of his farm
and the destruction of his hand work.
” The meeting recalled that for years,
farmers in Yoruba land has been
expressing what chief Falae was going
through in the hands of this nomadic
cattle rearers


“. You will recalled that in year 2000 in
Oke Ogun area of Oyo state, the fulani
herdsmen and farmers had a major clash
which led to a strong delegation from
Arewa consultative forum to storm the
office of the office of the then
Governor Lam Adesina in a rowdy and
angry manner on behalf of fulani .


“The meeting also noted that the 2014
national conference in which chief Falae
led the Yoruba delegation ,extensively
discuss this matter of nomadic cattle
rearing and the conference resolved the
it should be stopped and instead have
ranches for cattle business.


“We condemned the abduction of Chief
olu Falae and his gruesome experience as
shameful, insensitive and a violent
violation of Yoruba culture, values and
space.

Fulani herders or not, it will still not change the fact that yorubars are northern slaves. If not tell me why yorubars are so quiet even after SGF Falae was kidnapped in his own town by fulanis with huge ransom paid.

Seems Afenifebi and I have finally found something to agree on, been a long time..


The thing should be stopped in the whole country,period!!!!!

Those herdsmen have no value for nothing but those wretched cows!!!

I support this...they are boko haram in disguise

What's Afenifere saying, they dare not offend the mighty Fulanis or else.

Ghen Ghen!

I expect them to match words with actions.
Nigeria is a dangerous jungle where any ethnic group or community who claim to be too civilised to defend itself through acts of violence, will always find itself chort-changed at the losing end.
My Yoruba brothers need to wake up. The social media is awash with myriads of essays and theories by the supposedly vibrant and sophisticated Yoruba youths defending the acts of either SLS, Elrufai, Kwankwaso, Sultan and even Buhari (all northerners).

EdCure:

GBAM

Double post.

The cowardly ass-licking Yolobas will soon invade this thread as usual to insult the Afenifere for daring to write/chat sh*t about their Fulani masters.

why not just divide the zoo

all this patch patch marriage and failed love

the zoo called Nigeria is a criminal enterprise

Baboons everywhere

Supported. Atleast if they can't abide peacefully with us, they shd go back to their channel O houses.

Aaaah! this people are declaring war on the President and his people.

Lets see action not chest beating

Nigerians need to defend themselves against these barbarians. Enough is enough!

Nothing will happen, just like Afonga sold the yorubarland in those days, Tinubu has just concluded a whole sale of yorubarland and people in 2015. The new lease will last for the next 200yrs

The president just park like say he no know say his brothers dy on rampage

Swest go soon join middle belt

EdCure:

Are they not Nigerians too?

Afenifere should shut up! The kidnappers of Chief Falae are the criminal Igbo, not our masters, Fulani. We, yorubas should be grateful to the fulanis, they saved us from Biafrans soldiers who wanted to invade our land at Ore. Fulani is our friends, and the Igbo is our problem .

Afenifere is working for PDP.

I'm beginning to believe those who said this is a setup.

How come they've turn this issue to tribal politics? This issue is criminal and it should treated as such.

This is the definition of over-reaction....... This is excess.

The solution is to stop eating beef completely. Afterall, beef ain't healthy.

It's when it reaches Benue's situation that you'll know it's excess.

I agree with you my dear yoruba sister, all these have Igbo agenda written all over it . Fulani is our friends and ally, they saved us from Igbo domination at Ore. We yorubas are grateful to our masters fulani.

This reaction is over the top....... It's beginning to smell like politics.

We yourubas cannot stop eating beef, we must support our fulani master's cow business . The Igbo is the problem

luvmijeje:

No, my bigass yoruba sister, it smells more like IGBO. Ask our other yorubas brethren like Shymex, Aigbofa, Ilekedi, Superstar, Babapupa and they will concur the Igbo is behind this. The Igbo are behind the kidnapping. The fulani cannot kidnap us in our land, we have always obeyed them. We even gave them ilorin, so what else do they want from us?

No, you're missing the point. Even if it's true Fulani herdsmen were behind this, Afenifere as a former non partisan organisation should be calling for the arrest of the perpetrators of the crime. And not labelling a whole tribe for the crime of few.

Are they trying to tell us Yorubas outside of their enclave don't commit crime? Or are they saying other tribes in Yoruba land don't commit crime?

This is not ordinary...... It's politics.

All na mouth action jare. Who dash yoruba man liver to challenge Northerners?
