the war between fulanis and non fulanis will continue to be reciprocal if the non fulanis continue to kill the fulanis , destroy their properties and setting their houses ablazed. let their a provided grazing lands for them because they are nigerians too.

Another lie Mohammed on loose

Seems dey counted all the heardsmen join..

Sprumbabafather:
And the impunity continues, people accused of killing people are left to roam freely and even issue ultimatum to the people?

Failed country.

That is country we found ourselves. Where killers are allowed to move freely and issue threats to citizens without being arrested or questioned by the number one citizen, Buhari.

is it forbidden to rear cows and goats in Fulani land?

Miyetti Allah don't need to write this long episode of words before acknowledging the facts that they are ethnic militiamen with cows to cover up. By referring to Taraba state killing further affirmed Benue killing was a planned work of retaliation. What a wicked people.

From 1000 cows to 1000 people and 2m cows. Idiots everywhere.

When I force a group of people to follow ur ways and when they refuse you terrorize them into accepting ur ways. That's what is happening in Europe and else where though the method to subdue Nigerians into accepting ur ways is different from the plans you have for Europe. Time will tell

XTLikeNat777:
The truth remains no amount of abcs under the sun can justify the barbaric and satanic slaughter of humans being witnessed for a while now!!!

If we all begin to kill and justify, who will remain?

The strongest will definitely remain so let's be strong and resist the killings of Nigerians irrespective of tribe

??

Bastards, stinking liars lieing since before the birth of Mohammed.

Stingman:
9. We demand for immediate disarmament of all illegally armed militias across the country in the interest of peace, security and stability.

The Fulani terrorists want all armed militia to be disarmed, while they keep their own arms...

Isn't this funny...

They are just playing what is called PROPAGANDA!
You kill thousands of innocent people, when the same people try to defend themselves, you then turn around to claim you are being killed!

Myetti Allah is a terrorist organisation

Xisnin:

SMH, travelling traders get robbed all the time and I don't recall them organizing
attacks on the community where the robbery took place. Why should rustling be any different?

Ordinary people don't have access to media, to get media space you either pay for it or be a victim.
There is no free lunch anywhere


There is no challenge between them and farmer, you guys are just creating problem where none exist.
An herdsman have no right to graze on private lands, that is the position of the law but because they
have powerful patrons, they are making claims where they have no claims.


Peace will never reign until you stop pretending and call a spade a spade.

It seems you are frustrated. Get a good job.

Peace is the only way out. Mind you I am not supporting what herdsmen are doing nor the retaliation of farmers or vice-versa. I am just a peace loving Nigerian not a rebel nor a frustrated individual. Thank God I am a fulfilled person.

This is good... They ve told them to claim victim

You talk and reason like your cow!
Did Fulani people provide land for Emeka the Spare-parts seller or Kunle the Mechani or the millions of other independent, private-business people in other parts of Nigeria?
Why and what makes you cows think anyone owes you a special priviledge?
and when you dont get your way, you go on a murdering-spree!

Its time people face you cows head-on and lets all damn the consequence.

That Buhari is using the security agencies to ocver and empower your attrocities, is about to come to an end because come 2019, just like Jonathan was voted out, Buhari is a goner. mark my words.

2 million cows? abeg shift let me fall. which kind lie be this

ok

2million cows in Taraba state alone, pls what's the human population of Taraba state? these people are telling lies to justify their muderous attitudes. why is it that among other noble professions in nigeria, only yours is recognised world-wide as the 4th most deadly organisation in the world? nigerians must resist this so-called cattle or fulani-colonies, its a ploy for bubu's jihadist expansion. accepting it, is like accepting death trap on our door steps. they 've been killing people without a colony, just immagine what they 'll do, with a colony near your door step. pls let's not play politics with our lives and that of our next generations. #unite2sendbububack2daura#

Trash

I remember when I was learning how to drive, my brother warned me never to hit a parked car.

That if I hit a moving vehicle I can still claim the other car was at fault. But if I hit a well parked car, I have no defence at all.

Likewise, when the Fulani slaughter women, children and infants, they lost all pity. Nothing at all justifies such savagery.

LionDeLeo:

Exactly. And that is why the problem persist.

According to them, if the fulanis are killed, they should simply bury their dead and continue from there?

And when they go for reprisal, it becomes a serious issue. Just scroll up and see the comments above.

Don't mind all the shameless fools, always quick to show their hate and extreme bias. I clearly remember that Numan incident which wasn't that long ago. No one cared really.

candy:
Just curious...who counted the cows? I don't think there is any way a country will lose 2million cows and 1000 people without making headlines. That's quite huge and unbelievable.

The claim of 2m cows is laughable but as for the one that involves killing of 1000 people I do believe him on that. I have heard of a case where a whole community of Fulani been burnt down somewhere in a reprisal attack.
One thing I understand is we as Nigerians are not telling ourselves the truth

LIES, LIES AND LIES COMING FROM A DANGEROUSLY MURDEROUS GROUP OF COWS TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR EVIL ACT.

Fulani herdsmen,sorry killers should remain in their hometowns.The idea of roaming in other tribes' farmland should stop.It is not business as usual again.They should stay in the North and do their nomadic life there.After all before the amalgamation of North and South, we don't have any thing to do with them.Our governor would not do the needful now by kickstarting Anti-Grazing Law now in Delta State.
The Fulani herdsmen should not think that they are the only one who know how to be violent-going about raping,killing and arson.When someone who is being attacked is pursued to a dead end,he will turn back and fight his attackers,then it will be a do or die affair.Even he is killed by his attackers,he fought as a brave man.I am afraid this scenario will likely play out in Nigeria if the Fulani herdsmen ( even if they are being used by foreign powers )don't do away with their land-grabbing and killing spree.

The cattle Fulanis can buy lands to set up ranches, they should be trained on the COW BOYS TECHNIQUES.
It will solve all these palaver and it will pay them in the long run.

Blue3k:
2 million cows these guys can lie. The that would be 10% of the total cattle population. Why are you guys in Taraba when open grazing was banned their anyway. The police should solve the rustling and murders that happened obviously.

Herdsmen are most neglected on what sense. The anti open grazing law is to primate ranching. Go to the 34 other states where it's legal or start a ranch. You don't have fundamental right to herd cattle.

The militias popes up after the killing. People will protect themselves. The government failed to and this organization didn't speak up when herdsmen were on murder spree.

Don't mind them! How can Fulani herdsmen lose 1,000 people in Taraba, and the main towns in that state would not be razed to the ground? Fulani?? They do not forget an insult, or any bad deed done against them! And where did the 2 million cows that were stolen, disappear to? Into thin air? These lies they are manufacturing, will not wash!

I see two lies that extinguishes any attempt to take this write up seriously. One is that 300 fulani communities were wiped out on the Mambilla Plateau in taraba. With the sparse population on the Mambilla and plenty other tribes on the Plateau, how fulani alone have 300 communities is highly likely untrue.

The second is the 2 million cows story. That one needs no debunking. The figure has debunked itself!

Don't mind the dullards. They think that those they are talking to, did not go to school. What is the population of Fulanis in the whole of Taraba, that they would have 300 community settlements? Don't those settlements have names? Yeye people!

As for those 2 million cows, they are a figment of someone's imagination!

A Text of Press Conference by the National Secretary of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) on Sunday, January 14, 2018

Members of the general public are already aware of the burning national security challenges with violent hostilities affecting pastoralist community in different parts of the country.

These very unfortunate crises have since degenerated into dangerously intolerable level of killings, maiming and unprecedented destruction of property. More worrisome is the fact that the pastoralist community which has been the main target of the offensive is also deliberately been pointed as the attackers at the same time. This horrible accusation in both intent and purpose is meant not only to smear the image of the herdsmen as a peace loving community, but to also allow further criminal justification to carry out total ethnic cleansing on our members, as witnessed in different parts of the country.

Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria as the premier pastoralist body in the country has remained in unimaginable pains on daily basis as we receive communication of gory details of attacks, maiming and destruction of our members across the country..

For the avoidance of doubt, we totally condemn violence, in whatever form anywhere in Nigeria and by whoever. It is important to note that the pastoralist share a long relationship with many communities in the country, as they carry out their legitimate occupation of nomadism/pastoralism; carrying along their lives, families and possessions making it impossible to foment trouble.

Our disposition as the immediate neighbours to almost all Nigerians does not only make us vulnerable but also susceptible to baseless accusations by promoters of violence, despite us being the worst victims.

We are however not denying the fact that, as any other community in the country, we are also battling with misguided and criminally motivated elements who indulge in social vices and criminal activities. However, these few miscreants do not represent the mainstream of herdsmen.

In fact our case is worsen by long years of exclusion suffered by the Fulani herdsmen as the most neglected community in the country, thereby depriving us of so many things.

The current situation in our opinion is fuelled by the draconian laws put in place by some state governments with the singular aim of chasing our people out of the states simply for ethnic hatred.. The anti-open-grazing law in Benue, Taraba and other states is nothing more than a symbol of intolerance and do not in any way intend to solve the farmers/grazers conflict as the livestock breeders interest is neither captured in the law nor in its implementation mechanism.

While as a body we are not against any law that can engender peace, create societal harmony and stability, we cannot oblige any self-centred regulation with primordial sentiments based on injustice, intolerance and infringement of people’s fundamental rights. It is no longer hidden that to achieve these, some State Governments are sponsoring ethnic militia against our people, recruiting and arming locals to kill our people and rustle their livestock as seen recently in Benue and Taraba States.

Two days ago, the media was a washed with the story of Tiv militia gang arrested in Taraba State by the Army who confessed that over 1000 of them were recruited and dangerously armed by the Benue State Government to kill the Fulani herdsmen. No doubt the activities of these criminal gangs are putting our people in unbearable pains as they operate with the greatest impunity under the protection of the State Government.

Only very recently we have lost over 1000 people including children, women and the aged and over 2 million cattle to this gang. We are more disturbed today as this state government hides under the self created crises and blackmailing the Federal Government into releasing to them security operatives to achieve their illegal and wicked agenda on our people.

The trend of attacks on our defenceless members by ethnic militias oiled by a deliberate profiling through coordinated media campaigns against our members, to say the least, is the worst crime against humanity.

What started as communal clashes has since metamorphosed into a coordinated operation to exterminate our people. From the killings in Plateau State, to southern Kaduna to Benue, Taraba and Adamawa among others the story is only worsening by the day.

Let me refresh your mind on the unprovoked attack on the Fulani communities on the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State. The attack, which took place around June last year on the sedentary pastoralist Fulani families who have practiced the much deceitfully advocated ranching for decades left about 700 people killed, over 20,000 cattle rustled or killed with over 300 communities burnt down. In Lau, 24 Fulanis were also killed. In Numan, Adamawa State, about 82 of our women and children were slaughtered in cold blood by Bachama militias. In Kajuru, Kaduna State, 96 were killed.

All these were committed in a span of 7 months, beginning in June 2017 to January, 2018. All the killings were done by ethnic groups who see themselves as indigenes and the Fulanis as marauders, even where the latter have been settled for nearly a hundred years. However, up till today nobody is arrested even when the perpetrators are well known to the victims. The pastoralists have been abandoned, unfortunately, to their predators.

In conclusion ladies and gentlemen, our story is a very sad and painful one. While we have suffered decades of neglect by the government with attendant consequences, the current national gang up against the herdsmen is not only endangering our survival as a people but also justifying action against us, no matter how crude and inhuman it is.

After reviewing the current challenges as they affect our members we are of the humble opinion that following steps can go a long way not only in dousing tension in the country but will also go a long way in reducing the perennial conflict to the barest minimum.

1. We confirm the position of His Royal Highness the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, that in spite of the fact that 732 of our people were killed in Mambila and 82 women and children killed in Numan and nobody was arrested. We hereby demand for the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators of these heinous crimes without further.

2. We further state that the refutal of the Emir’s position by the Taraba State Governor is merely a continuation of his desperate act of hiding the state government’s involvement and protection of the perpetrators of these acts.

3. Pay compensation to the victims of all crises to reduce their level of suffering.

4. The Federal Government should create a Federal Ministry of Livestock Development to attend to the multidimensional needs of the industry as is obtained in many countries and the enactment of a national law to carter for the peculiar needs of pastoralists in particular and the livestock subsector in general since the mischievous anti open grazing laws promulgated by some states have woefully failed to address the contentious issues.

5. We call for a federal judicial commission of inquiry into all these killings so as to unravel the truth and the offenders.

6. We wish to register our appreciation to all those who have refused to be blinded by sentiment and are standing on the path of truth and justice especially the governors of Bayelsa, Plateau, Kogi and Nasarawa states, in the face of these complicated circumstances.

7. We disassociate ourselves from any other group or individual that is out to foment trouble in the country.

8. We also welcome the Federal Government’s current resolve to address the lingering crises and submit ourselves for any positive participation to restore mutual and harmonious relationship in the country.

9. We demand for immediate disarmament of all illegally armed militias across the country in the interest of peace, security and stability. Finally, we condemn in totality any attempt of branding herdsmen as terrorists as is being clamoured from certain quarters. We view this as the continuation of the hate agenda on our people and a very dangerous trend for the country.

CAN NIGERIANS SEE D DOUBLE SPEAK HERE? FALSEHOOD AND DELIBERATE EXAGGERATION OF LIES TO JUSTIFY AND ATTRACT SYMPATHY.ITS UNFORTUNATE. WHO KILLED AND ATE TWO(2) MILLION COWS,WHERE? LIES AND PROPAGANDA ARE THEIR CLOTHINGS.

can you really count// how do you arrive at 2million?/ if non fulanis can agree, lets boycott beef

benue people , if you can boycott beef generally., they will quietly take their cattle to another state, cause those cattle in benue are for the consumption of benue people which is the assumption of the miyetti ALLAH ,
