Lets Play A Game Of "Let Us Assume" by LordCzar202: 6:26pm On Jul 17, 2016
With the present reality of the situation in Nigeria that differs from the fantasy of many of the masses. One has to agree that there still has been a lot of distraction pumped into the polity that alters perception and creates division. The war against corruption has been heating up on the front burner, and Nigerians have forgotten it is at war... It has always been. Let us assume on just a few instances.

-Let us assume the war raged by boko haram had been targeted at the tribal minorities within the north-east, who also had a handful of Christians and other type believers.
-Let us assume the media carefully covered up the connection painting BH as a anti-western education group, while a purge forced these people that their lives are threatened into camps to seek protection by the government.
-Let us assume that that these internally displaced persons are mostly people with divergent views from the core values of Islam and authority of the majority moslems.
-Let us assume that is why they have been targeted from the beginning... to establish a strong islamic caliphate, and what we are witnessing with the present heartless attacks of muslims on christians, southerners and minority group within their region is the uncontrollable ecstasy of their victory at this war or PURGE.
-Let us assume that the theatre of the war against corruption and its sustenance is to carry out the completion of the purge by starving these minority & christians to death. As this starvation is a tool of the war to finish up most of the remaining minority

it has been reported that 1million people are on the verge of dying from starvation. Yet one would ask, where is the humanity? where is the empathy? Where is the sympathy? Where is the outrage?

Remember that injustice suffered anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Because most often, when you overlook the cries of others too weak to cry out, when that same danger reaches your door... There most likely will be no-one to answer yours.

The fact is that the Bornu Kanuri empire is a warring Islam clan. There has been interrelation and intra-relation between the Kanuris, fulanis, shuwa arabs and Ouaddai Empire of Sudan. Our president PMB was one time a military administrator of the state and has a strong political influence in the region. Buhari is also past 'head of the Fulani cattle herders association of West Africa'... (Maybe now you understand why fulani herdsmen are running lose). The link is between the fulani herdsmen in West Africa, the Kanuri boko haram at the other axis, and a president Buhari as a commander of arm forces of a northernized security apparatus.

What is their motive? The fertile land of the minorities to be used as grazing reserves for a fulani brothers, in a region experiencing massive drought. As you know the lake chad basin is drying up and these IDPs are majorly fishermen and farmers.

It should be clear at this juncture to note that there is no particular opinion held here that suggests that ethnic minorities in Nigeria consider the whole race of the Hausa and Fulani pastoralists, and ethnic nationality as Islamists. However, the root cause of the appalling activities perpetrated by Boko-Haram, Hausa jihadists and extremist Fulani pastoralists against ethnic and religious minorities in Middle-Belt and across Nigeria suggests that Islamists are intrinsically inspired by radical Islamic political ideology as purported by the expansionist principle of the type of Islam they claim to profess.
In support of this position, a research by The Analytical, on Migration and Violent Conflict in Divided Societies, in Middle Belt Nigeria, points out that Hausa-Fulani Muslim herdsmen and settlers have been behind many atrocities that could be equivalent to the violence being orchestrated by Boko Haram.
Contrary to the weight of evidence pointing to the unabated jihadists attacks on indigenous ethnic communities, coupled with terrorism across Nigeria, particularly in the Middle-Belt and southern Nigeria, president Buhari’s body language seems to suggest his strong bias for his religious inclinations and ethnic affiliation. It is surprising for a person like Mr Buhari who constantly talks of ‘change’, security stability and ‘fight against corruption’ to not consider attempting to solve the lingering ethnic cleansing ravaging the unity and stability of the country he governs. As usual President Muhammadu Buhari and his spokespersons up till this day have not issued out any statement condemning the attacks on ethnic and religious minorities in Nigeria, and/or proffer any workable solution as he’s doing for the north-east case. Mr Buhari’s apparent inaction and insensitivity to the issues happening to ethnic and religious minorities in Nigeria seems to suggest that the Middle-Belt ethnic minorities are not on his priority list.

Despite president Buhari’s promise of ‘wiping out Boko Haram in two months’,
emphasising that “Boko Haram will soon know the strength of our collective unity”,
Boko Haram & Islamist Fulanis continue to attack Nigerians, villages, places of
worship, ethnic and religious minorities living across communities in Nigeria. Agatu,
Boboroku, Jol, Ropp, Sho, Sopp, Foron, Gashish, Rakung, Kadunung, Kassa, Kwok,
Fan, Ohoro, Top, Uwheru, Ohoro communities in Benue, Delta, Nassarawa, Plateau
State among others are examples of the affected communities. It is perceived that the
president of Nigeria remains silent, perhaps because these communities are not in north-eastern Nigeria, and figures seems to suggest that the Hausa/Fulanis are not affected much as other ethnic and religious minorities!
Here, it is worthy to mention that ethnic and religious minority tribes in Nigeria are constantly being displaced due to these attacks. According to UNICEF Report the number of displaced children forced to flee Islamists insurgency in Nigeria hits1.4 million. The UN Agency added that around 500,000 were displaced in the last five months, after a sharp rise in attacks by terrorist groups.
Meanwhile, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has said that the number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) as at July 2015 has increased to 2.1 million from 1.5 million. As it stands out, this figure is more than the entire population of Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.
It is disheartening that most local and foreign media do not broadcast the devastation the crimes against humanity perpetrated by radical Fulani pastoralists and their affiliates have caused indigenous people. Unlike the ‘three major ethnic groups’ in Nigeria (i.e Hausa/Fulani, Ibo and Yoruba), other minority ethnic groups in relation to Nigeria’s population as a state have now become ‘stateless’ as they can no longer hold claim to any land or state in Nigeria once they fled from their ancestral homes. This is compounded by the issue of citizenship as enshrined in Nigeria’s Constitution. Nigeria’s Constitution suggests that a person’s ‘indigeneship’ (local ethnic origin) sovereignly grants that individual the right to citizenship. However, being able to exercise full citizenship rights in Nigeria depends on an indigene’s influence- affiliation or lineage to a major Nigerian ethnic group. It’s no surprise that the UN chief, Banki-Moon succinctly summarised it as “...Here in Nigeria, you know the challenges all too well...”.
In proffering solution to the security challenge in Nigeria, many people including ‘country experts’ are of the view that the conflicts in the Middle-Belt Nigeria are due to cattle rustling, farming or grazing activities. Well, as complex as the issue appears to be, it would also be of interest to take into consideration that the people, villages and communities experiencing constant attacks, and the killing of its peoples (including women and children) during these prolong crises, completely have no involvement with cattle duffing.
Furthermore, evidence (which many people including conflict ‘experts’ failed to acknowledge) revealed the causes behind the conflict. The findings contest the most popular belief about the conflict: that it is only due to social justice [‘settlership/indigeneship’, ‘political jihad’] and environmental degradation- including grazing, farming and cattle raiding issues. Worthy to note, some of the victims are foetuses (some even zygotes) still in their pregnant mothers’ wombs, and majority are toddlers and babies- zero month old- far younger than Aylan Kurdi (the drowned refugee boy from Kobane, Syria who died alongside his brother and mother in the Mediterranean) that received lots of media attention and publicity.
Pathetically, the attacks in Middle-Belt (North-Central Nigeria) on ethnic and religious minorities like the Beroms, Idomas, Tiv, Jukuns etcetera is not receiving proportionate attention and balanced media report as for the drowned refugee boy from Kobane, Syria. This perceived imbalanced reports and misrepresentation of evidence by main stream print, web and electronic media in Europe like the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has prompted the leadership of the Berom Youth Movement (BYM) a leading voice against Hausa/Fulani domination of ethnic minorities in North-Central Nigeria, to respond accordingly.
As complex as the situation now is, the association between terrorism, violence, territorial expansion or land grabbing, and security is so strong, it can blind us to the dangers of land/grazing legislation in the quest for finding a ‘solution’ to the conflict. It is believed that most Nigerians regardless of their political, religious or ethnic backgrounds desperately and genuinely yearn for peaceful co-existence. But so long as Nigeria (Nigerians) and the world want to appear ‘politically correct’ or insensitive on this issue by remaining ‘naïve’ to the ulterior motives behind the clarion calls by Islamists/fundamentalists, ethnic chauvinists, and the advocacy by some politicians in government championing the course for land law reforms and grazing reserves that will only be in favour of the major ethnic tribes in Nigeria or Africa, Nigeria will never experience oneness and true peace.

IF WE FAIL TO TAKE A STAND NOW, SOUTHERN NIGERIA WILL BE GRADUALLY PUSHED INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN BY THESE MARAUDING FULANI TRIBE.
