Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has faulted remarks made by former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwakwanso, who allegedly justified the activities of Fulani herdsmen in the South West.

Kwakwanso had said over the weekend that “the issue of conflict between the farmers and Fulani herdsmen is not common to the South west alone. It is not even common to Nigeria. It is all over the sub region”.

But in a statement, Afenifere’s publicity secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, faulted Kwankwaso on the grounds that his comment did not address the issue of the herdsmen attacks and the abduction of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Chief Olu Falae.

He said, “Kwankwaso’s grouse with Yoruba leaders was our call for an end to the criminal activities of Fulani herdsmen in the region at the recent summit in Ibadan and that the Yoruba nation may reconsider its place in a union that could not protect us and would not allow us to protect ourselves if we did not see any sign to restructure Nigeria into a proper federation.

“Kwakwanso did not condemn the abduction of Chief Olu Falae, the killing of innocent farmers, raping of women and destruction of crops and farmlands in the course of the grazing activities of Fulani herdsmen. He only tacitly justified their activities by offering excuses for their criminal conducts.”

“The issue that we are talking about, education is very important. If all Fulani are given opportunity to go to school, I don’t think they will risk their lives and their animals going into the bush, where there are reptiles. I think the key thing is education.

“Kwakwanso wants Yoruba “understanding of the situation” while his kinsmen continue to draw their blood, violating their women and destroying their farmlands until Mallam decides to give them education may be when we celebrate another centenary.

“The double speak of Kwakwanso is galling as he was a few months ago celebrating the hordes of Almajiris in the north as a positive development that provides a demography that could easily be herded for electoral process.

“Rabiu Kwakwanso in an interview he granted Vanguard Newspaper on April 26,2015, lambasted the wife of former President of Nigeria for “insulting” the north over the menace of Almajiri children which he considered a thing of ‘pride,’ saying, “Look at what the wife of the President said about us-northerners. She was just castigating the North almost at every opportunity. You cannot insult us and think that you can get away with it. This democracy is a game of numbers, and that is why we went back and put almajiris together to get about two million votes.

“The issue of almajiris have been opened to abuse in this country and turned into insults for us. Almajiri here is a positive word but the way they see it is that we are beggars, that we produce so many children that we cannot take care of, and that is what the First Lady was saying and we kept quiet because we had our own way of answering her and we did exactly that on the 28th of March.”

“Kwankwanso further said that the Fulani should be given the opportunity to go to school as if the Yoruba were the ones who denied them such opportunity in almost 40 years that the north has held power since independence.

“With the uncouth, rude and insensitive remarks of Kwankwaso and his ilk in the North which are like pouring salt on injury, it is coming clear to us that there may be a grand agenda with the activities of the Fulani herdsmen either as an advance party of Boko Haram into our territory or an expansionist project.

“The Yoruba leaders therefore stand by every word in the Ibadan declaration,” said Odumakin.

Was this country really meant to be?

What can a slave do to his master? I feel sorry for the Yorubas!

I can see how my comment is causing lots of pain to the South West.

I was only stating the bitter truth. Since you don't want to accept you are slaves. Keep living in denial.

NB: For those South West who think i am from the South East, let me set the record straight...I am from the Niger Delta!

Hmmmm

Proper definition of Niger Area coming out

FEK and Fayose is the one representing the yoruba nation while Tinubu is after power and he does not care about his people. This Fulani issue is very serious they are the one representing boko haram, is not an issue they should over look. Serious action need to be taken now.

Tinubu is pursuing his personal and selfish interest.

He came to their own house to insult them, he can't try it in niger delta/biafra except in IMO state headed by a fu la ni

It is well.

you see, its very funny how you guys masturbatez over the word "slave and master" and yet, you are the ones who scream about suffering more (which is not true though).

Fulani herdsmen ravaged everywhere including yeeboland, and we haven't heard u engaged them to death like the Yorubas once did.

but instead of you to identify your problem, you are busy laffing at the ones who's got the same problem with you and trying to solve it. that is how you people remain in your condition till now because if your elders were given dry gin and 1,000 each, they will you in a blink.

so, keep screaming slaves and masters while just recently, these same Fulani attacked a community in Enugu and you people didn't speak out abt it.

dey there dey wallow in your emptiness.

Your actions and words goes a long way to support the assertion by some people that you yorubas are slaves. You were so evasive to the point that you didnt render your support to the calls by Afenifere on the issue of Fulanis,you were just busy checking out any statement made by Igbos. Seriously,you are pathetic,rather than tackling your problems,you are looking for an Alibi...your attitude is the best definition of cowardice i have come across.
Moreover,ndigbo quest for Biafra covers every other statement or action you expect from us when we have issues with Fulanis or even your Yoruba people for that matter. From the 60's to date we have seeked for an honourable divorce from this contraption and forced marriage called Nigeria.

Lol,this is an opportunity for the 5th class citizen to show his hatred to its master.

lol..the quest for Biafra is the only reason your senses are warped and dented bro. especially when all I see are empty threats and unserious protests.

you guys are way behind when it comes to reasoning and intelligence. dude, now that the ijaws are giving u history and fact that they are not joining or no igbos, I hope you are thinking twice because u will be landlocked that the death toll during the civil war will be a dot in an ocean.

Sure these guys should be checked. They are never contributors to any society they are found but destructive why That's the million dollar question..

focus on your masters who kidnapped your leaders and now they have come to ibadan to insult your leaders again. i am an akwaibomite but i can beat my chest and say that no northerner can try such sh1t in my state.

NAIRALAND MODERATORS WE NEED DISLIKE BUTTON TOO

How many times fulanis have destroyed farms n killed ppl in SE,all igbo could do was to went hiding.But Yoruba is talking now,instead of them to voice out against the activities of the Fulanis,igbo is busy condemning yoruba.I feel sorry for the igbo ppl

FEK and Fayose is the one representing the yoruba nation while Tinubu is after power and he does not care about his people. This Fulani issue is very serious they are the one representing boko haram, is not an issue they should over look. Serious action need to be taken now.

yorke1:

Yes, you are right. There is nothing a political slave can do against his masters. I mean, what can Imo state people do against their almanjiri APC masters. Just last week, the almanjiri party recaptured rivers and akwa Ibom states. And it appears the slaves in those states are very helpless.

ekafine:
lalasticlala come let us save the yorrobbers from their master's annihilation. copy; aresa, quotasystem, omonnakoda, ilekehd

Lalasticala, while you are at it, you may also want to save the flatron slaves from gully erosion from their political masters.

I mean, their masters have overrun Imo state, rivers state and akwa Ibos state.

To make their slavery status more disturbing, they have sold their birthrights, APGA, for morsel of meat, APC, PDP.

As if that is not enough, their youth corpers are adopting their masters religion, same for their igwes becoming Muslims.

Consequently, they require fast redemption before they are completely annihilated.

Don't you think so lalasticala?

Ok,can all these old men plus stfu

According to Odumakin,

“With the uncouth, rude and insensitive
remarks of Kwankwaso and his ilk in the North
which are like pouring salt on injury, it is
coming clear to us that there may be a grand
agenda with the activities of the Fulani
herdsmen either as an advance party of Boko Haram into our territory or an expansionist
project.

We warned the mugus(yelowba) to be weary of these blood-thirsty beast before the election, but they foolishly ignored our warnings. Today, the yelowbas are weeping while the Fulani are basking in the euphoria of raping yeroba women, killing their men, kidnapping their elders and taking over their farms. Ntorrrrr!
