Fulani Herdsmen a good excuse to spread sharia
1) INTRO
The sun has finally set on Nigeria and as the dial of our national clock
is moved back, uncertainty grips the land. Our national leaders who have
repeatedly denied our
history now seek to blindfold the nation and sneak in the most preposterous
agenda ever contrived in this nation. An agenda that would shackle the entire
nation under the tyranny of marauding Sahel gangs congregating in colonies
across the nation. We must expose it and dismantle it.
These new colonies
for Fulani Herdsmen across Nigeria is a grand plan by Buhari to employ the
Herdsman conflict as a cover to institute Fulani 19th century imperialism
across Nigeria. Buhari hatched the plan two years ago and part of the strategy
was to use the Nigerian army to drive the most devious scheme yet. When I saw
the news yesterday I couldn't believe it. But what even shocked me the most was
the fact that a lot of Nigerians hardly picked it up. The Fulani Herdsmen
Colonies is one hundred times more virulent than the Sharia crises in
2000. You must know how it will affect your State, your Local Government Area
and your village.
For example, it is
possible under the land use act for the Federal Government to acquire
indigenous land from Abak local Government in Akwa Ibom State, host to Ibawa
Military Cantonment, and establish a host Fulani Herdsmen Permanent Urban
Settlement, numbering 3,000 people? I will explain this later.
Read the News Below
to Understand What I am Talking About.
2) THE NEWS:
BUHARI APPROVES CATTLE COLONIES (FULANI HERDSMEN COLONIES) FOR NIGERIA:
THE Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, Monday,
disclosed that everything has been put in place by the Federal Government to
establish cattle colonies that would solve the continued herdsmen/farmers
conflict in parts of the country. President Buhari Ogbeh made this known during
a two day ‘2018 Strategy Retreat’ organised by Synergos for special advisers
and directors in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in Abuja, where he said
facilities will be provided to take care of the herdsmen and their cattle,
which they (herdsmen) have said if water and grass were provided they would not
be moving with their cattle. According to him the cattle colony project will
start immediately following the offer of five hectares of land each by 16
states in the country, which also President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to
help the ministry with money for the project.
‘On the issue of cattle,
we have to start immediately, 16 states have given us land to work on. The
programme is not going to be cheap. Mr President has personally informed me
that if we seek help from him he will give it to us over and above the budget
we have, and when that budget is released I plead with all of you to come on
board to work hard to achieve results.

Winifred Ochinyabo, Senior Adviser to the minister on Special Projects and
General Duties said the cattle colonies would have social amenities such as
good roads, a school for the nomads’ children and health facilities. She said
that agro rangers (security personnel) would also be at the colonies to help
guard the animals.
3) THESE ARE NOT CATTLE COLONIES, CATTLE DON'T NEED
GOOD ROADS, SCHOOLS AND HEALTH CENTRES
The statement of Winifred Ochinyabo SA to the minister says it all, "the
cattle colonies would have social amenities such as good roads, a school for
the nomads’ children and health facilities". It is clear that
Buhari's plan is to establish "Towns", permanent new urban centres for
Fulani Herdsmen in the middle of indigenous communities. It means Fulani
herdsmen regarded as the 4th most deadly terrorist organisation in the
world might be moving to a brand-new town next to you. This is a group
responsible for countless of the murders, kidnappings, car hijackings and the
rape of women across the country. It is this same group Buhari intends to
reward with new towns across the nation. Has anyone figured out how these
herdsmen will live side by side with the indigenous population?
Conceptualising a
project of this magnitude is both strange and ridiculous and one wonders
if the framers thought it through. However, if I am to believe the accusation
that Buhari has always had an agenda to islamise Nigeria, then maybe this should come
as no surprise. But perhaps we need to examine the truth behind this accusation
that has hung over Buhari like an Albatross. One thing i do know Fulani
Herdsmen are 100% Muslim and they are governed by Sharia Law.
4) THE ISLAMISATION OF NIGERIA & BUHARI
Now, because a snake sheds its skin
doesn't mean it has given up its poison. This is the bitter truth we face as a
nation. We were deceived and Nigeria has walked into a trap.
In 2014 the electorates watched
in horror as Tinubu adopted Buhari as the Presidential candidate for
the All Progressive Congress. The same Tinubu will have to explain to the
Yoruba people how new Fulani Herdsmen Colonies might soon be springing up
in Ondo, Ogun, Osun Ekiti, Oyo and Lagos State. When Buhari won the primaries,
panic like wild fire spread among those who knew the man's antecedent. Many
things were said about him and people thought it was propaganda but now
everyone can see what sounded like ridiculous propaganda was actually the
truth.
They say a Leopard
who wants to change his spots must wait for the darkness. But with
Buhari not even the twilight can conceal the scales on his back. This man
is either the most ignorant or the most dangerous man to ever lead our nation,
or his both.
Now in the light of
the Hausa Fulani colonies read the report below.
5) THE REPORT
News24 27/8/01
Buhari Calls For ‘Total'
Sharia In Nigeria
2001-08-27 21:32
Lagos - A former military ruler of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has called for
the introduction of 'total' Islamic law across the country, reports said on
Monday.
Buhari, who ruled
Nigeria from a coup in December 1983 to his ouster in 1985, told a seminar in
Kaduna, northern Nigeria, at the weekend that the strict Islamic law code known
as the Sharia should be introduced in full across Nigeria.
"I will
continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia
movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria," Buhari said, quoted in press
reports.
"God willing,
we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in
the country," Buhari said.
Northern Nigeria is
mainly Muslim but southern Nigeria is mainly Christian and has led criticism of
the introduction of Islamic law in a dozen northern states in the past 18
months.
Africa's most
populous country has been shaken repeatedly in the past by religious unrest. In
February 2000 between 2 000 and 3 000 people were killed by Christian-Muslim
riots in Kaduna over the introduction of Sharia.
Call for Sharia
across the country
Buhari's comments
were interpreted by the southern-based papers as a call for the imposition of
Sharia all across the country, even in the mainly Christian south.
"Buhari calls
for Sharia in all states," was the headline of the respected newspaper The
Guardian.
Buhari's comments
were defended by supporters as simply a call for the full implementation of
Sharia in areas where Muslims predominated.
But the comments
are the second by Buhari that have courted controversy after he called earlier
this year for Muslims to vote at the next presidential elections only for
someone who would defend their faith.
This was criticised
by the press as a call for voting along religious lines, as well as an attack
on the current president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who is a Christian.
Buhari made the
latest comments at a seminar organised by the Supreme Council for Sharia in
Nigeria, a newly set up body attended by northern state governments and Islamic
scholars.
"It is a legal
responsibility which God has given us, within the context of one Nigeria, to
continue to uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly ... and to educate
non-Muslims that they have nothing to fear," he said.
"What remains
for Muslims in Nigeria is for them to redouble their efforts, educate Muslims
on the need to promote the full implementation of Sharia law," he went on.

.........
Buhari was never called to
answer to the accusation of Islamisation. Unfortunately, the excitement of
Change swept Nigerians off their feet, they saw in him a deliverer a man who
was like the masses. How mistaken were they.
One wonders if the
sudden unbridled violence perpetrated on Christian farmers by Fulani Herdsmen is not
a ploy to serve a desperate nation with the dish of Fulani colonisation. Give them
colonies and the violence will stop in Benue. But we are not just talking about
Benue but everywhere their cold hands of death, terror and mutilation have touched -
that includes Enugu, Cross River, Ekiti, Ondo, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Rivers, Bayelsa,
Taraba, Ogun, Plateau, Abia, Niger, Yobe, Adamawa, Kaduna and Anambra States. Therefore,
next to these terrorised States are going to be Fulani Herdsmen New
Urban Centres - Towns called 'Colonies'. Perhaps we need examine
that word, “Colony".
6) WHAT IS A COLONY?
I have decided not make any assumptions,
Nigeria was once a colony of Britain, but what is the technical meaning of the
word colony because it would help us understand what the framers of the Fulani
Herdsmen colonies have in mind.
"In politics and history, a colony is a territory under the immediate
political control of a state, distinct from the home territory of the
sovereign. For colonies in antiquity, city-states would often find their own
colonies.
The metropolitan
state is the state that rules the colony. In Ancient Greece, the city that
founded a colony was known as the metropolis. "Mother country" is a
reference to the metropolitan state from the point of view of citizens who live
in its colony. There is a United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing
Territories.
Unlike a puppet
state or satellite state, a colony has no independent international
representation, and its top-level administration is under direct control of the
metropolitan state. The term informal colony is used by some historians to
refer to a country under the de facto control of another state, although this
term is often contentious.
The word
"colony" comes from the Latin word colōnia. This in turn derives from
the word colōnus, which means colonist but also implies a farmer.
Roman colonies
first appeared when the Romans CONQUERED neighbouring Italic peoples. These
were small farming settlements that appeared when the Romans had subdued an
enemy in war. A colony could take many forms, as " a trade outpost or a
military base in enemy territory". Its original definition as a
settlement created by people migrating from a central region to an outlying one
became the modern definition" - Wikipedia
Fellow Nigerians here is what I have discovered -
a) - All colonies
have a metropolis or a mother country, an extension of the central territory.
My question - what will be the central territory of the Fulani Herdsmen
colonies? Is it the Federal Government? If the Governor of Kaduna State has
already admitted that most of these armed Fulani Herdsmen are foreigners
why are we giving them permanent residency status within our borders, is this
not a grave security risk? What will be the relationship between the
indigenous population and these new colonies? Already it appears these colonies
will be independent off the States and the local authority. Where there are
conflicts and disputes between the two what laws are they going to be
governed by, is it Sharia?
b) - Colonies
operate in conquered territories. Are we then to accept that where these Fulani
Herdsmen colonies are going to be established are conquered territories. Is
this why the army is being used to establish this colonies?
c) - Colonies are
traditionally trading outposts or military bases. The Hausa Fulani Colonies
will be both trading outposts and military bases. Let me expose to you Buhari's
plan. It was a plan he came up with 2 years ago but a lot of you might have
missed it in the news. It is called MILITARY CATTLE RANCHES and it will
dovetail with Fulani Herdsmen Colonies.
7) MILITARY CATTLE RANCHES Dec 2016 (Vanguard)
News Report
The Chief of Army
Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai has said that the Nigerian Army would
be raising up cattle ranches in such a manner that in almost all the divisions,
and all the brigades, cattle will be reared. Buratai who was represented by the
Chief of Army Logistics, Major General Patrick Akem, stated this on Tuesday at
the Commissioning of Mogadishu Cantonment New Mammy Market (former Abacha
Barracks), Abuja. The Army Chief disclosed that in keeping up with modern
cattle rearing tradition, he sent officers of the Army to Argentina to look at
how cattle were reared. “Argentina has a population of 41 million people, but
it feeds about 400 million people around the world with its beef.
To take it to the
next level, we want to adopt a system where the cattle are not just free
ranging coming from Sokoto to Port Harcourt, thereby making their meat tough to
eat, the products will soon be coming from our own farms and ranches,” Buratai
said. He noted that he has created the Barrack Investment Initiative as
platform that affords Army family members the opportunity of raising up fishing
ponds, vegetable gardens, fruits, livestock, chicken and their eggs.
According to him,
the intention of the Nigerian Army was not just to secure the country, but to
contribute in growing the economy of the nation. He added: “We want to tell our
wives that they can live beyond the salaries of their husbands, so we are
trying to empower the women in the barracks to be able to form co-operatives,
so as to access loans and to a large extent be able to fend for themselves and
their families, even without the salaries of their husbands.
MILITARY OFFICERS SENT ON TRAINING TO STUDY CATTLE
RANCHING (The cable Dec 20, 2016)
Tukur Buratai,
chief of army staff, says some army officers have been sent to Argentina to
learn cattle rearing.
Speaking at the
launch of Mogadishu cantonment mammy market in Abuja on Tuesday, Buratai, who
was represented by Patrick Akem, chief of army logistics, said the army would
set up cattle ranches in all its divisions.
A statement issued
by PRNigeria quoted Buratai as saying that in keeping with modern
cattle-rearing tradition, he sent “officers of the army to Argentina to look at
how cattle are reared”.
8) MILITARY RANCHES OR FULANI HERDSMEN COLONIES
It would appear
from the foregoing that the military officers that went on these training in
Argentina have slipped back into the country unnoticed and they will soon have
to put their training in good use. The primary duty of a military officer
is not animal husbandry. Therefore, I presume the military officers will take
managerial roles. They will need farm hands to feed and water the thousands of
cattle under their care and who else will they employ if not Fulani
Herdsmen. The Military Cattle Ranches are an extension of the military barracks
but will not be within the walls of the Barracks.
Listen to what the
Chief of Army Staff said again, "The Nigerian Army would be raising up
cattle ranches in such a manner that in almost all the divisions, and all the
brigades, cattle will be reared..." What this means is clear the
indigenous population will not have to be consulted, they will have little or
no voice in the matter. This is the aspect of 'conquest' in this whole devious
plan that is most repugnant! Please note these Military Ranches (Fulani
Herdsmen Colonies) will be established outside the barracks. They will be
thriving urban Hausa Fulani centres established on indigenous land. According
to the Land Use Act, all land within the Nigerian territory belongs to the
Federal Government. This means the forceful acquisition of hundreds of acres of
farmland from indigenous farmers and the introduction of a new culture and new
way of life. Does this resonate in our history as a people? Perhaps we
need to look at that word 'conquest' and why this new colonies might be an age-old
dream from a forgotten past.
9) AS A RESULT OF THE DEFEAT OF USMAN DAN FODIO'S
EMPIRE IN THE HANDS OF BRITAIN. RADICAL MOSLEMS HAVE ALWAYS SEEN NIGERIA AS A
CHRISTIAN NATION ADOPTING WESTERN CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES ON STATECRAFT
Our citizens today
need to be acquainted with the history of 19th/ early 20th century Nigeria
because echoes of that period resonate powerfully in our polity
today. We were not a nation then but the forces of that period are what established
the Northern and the Southern Protectorates of Nigeria. We ignore that
time at our own peril because a lot of what we are battling in the 21st century
have come from that timeline. And a clear understanding of that history will warn
our leaders to stay clear of ancient booby traps.
The Jihadist wars
of Usman Dan Fodio has remained the biggest single factor that accelerated the
growth of Islam in Nigeria. The very word "Hausa Fulani" is a
recognition of the conquest of the Hausa States by the Fulani armies of Dan
Fodio, hence the hybrid. At the height of the Fulani Empire the Sokoto
Caliphate was founded.
According to Wikipedia at
its height the Caliphate linked over 30 different emirates and over 10 million
people in the most powerful state in its region and one of the most significant
empires in Africa in the nineteenth century. The caliphate was a loose
confederation of emirates that recognized the suzerainty of the "commander
of the faithful", the sultan or caliph. The caliphate brought decades of
economic growth throughout the region. An estimated one to 2.5 million
non-Muslim slaves were captured during the Fulani War. However, slavery in the
Caliphate was not the more common chattel slavery; slaves provided labour for
plantations and were provided an opportunity to become Muslims.
However, following
the Berlin Conference, the British had expanded into Southern Nigeria, and by
1902 had begun plans to move into the Sokoto Caliphate. British General
Frederick Lugard, the son of Christian Missionaries in India, used rivalries
between many of the emirs in the south and the central Sokoto administration to
prevent any defence as he worked toward the capital. As the British approached
the city of Sokoto, the new Sultan Muhammadu Attahiru I organized a quick defence
of the city and fought the advancing British-led forces. The British defeated
him.
On March 13, 1903
at the grand market square of Sokoto, the Caliphate officially conceded to
British Rule. Fredrick Lugard abolished the Caliphate but retained the title
Sultan as a symbolic position in the newly organized Northern Nigeria
Protectorate. In June 1903, the British defeated the remaining forces of
Attahiru I in Kano and killed him. By 1906 the British were in full control of
Northern Nigeria Protectorate and all resistance to its rule ended.
Perhaps it would be
important to include this piece of information as an addendum, the British
conquest of the Islamic Caliphate in Northern Nigeria was not executed on
religious grounds but was driven by economic forces. The British were keen to
rule over the vast territory of Northern Nigeria because of its vast
economic potential in agriculture. Britain needed raw materials to feed its
industries. The English were also determined to keep the French out. The French
at the time had a massive trading post in modern day Northern Benin
Republic. The English were determined the French would not annex Northern
Nigeria and the Berlin Conference of 1884 had left the scramble and partition
of Northern Nigeria in the hands of whosoever gets there first and the British
were determined to claim it.
The influence of
the Caliphate stretched from Adamawa in the North East right down to Kwara in
South West Northern Central. The relics of Usman Dan Fodio Kingdom are still
with us today. We still have the Sultan of Sokoto, who even though is a
ceremonial, still has tremendous power and influence. Today we still have
Emirates all over Northern Nigeria, right down to Kwara State.
It has always been
said Usman Dan Fodio had an unfinished war, his desire was to take the message
of Islam through the Oyo Kingdom down to the coasts. But this territorial
ambition was not just stopped by the Yoruba warlike States but any ability
of a resurgence was blighted by the British forces led by young Lugard.
I am aware some
Northern Radical Moslems still feel bitter about this aspect of our history.
Is Buhari attempting to finish what Usman Dan Fodio started, is the question?
Are there covert plans towards the Islamic colonisation of Nigeria? What did
Buhari mean by this statement, "It is a legal responsibility which God has
given us, within the context of one Nigeria, to continue to uphold the practice
of Sharia wholeheartedly ... and to educate non-Muslims that they have nothing
to fear. What remains for Muslims in Nigeria is for them to redouble their
efforts, educate Muslims on the need to promote the full implementation of
Sharia law. I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment
to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria".Chilling.
10) IF YOU DON'T WANT CATTLE COLONIES OR FULANI
HERDSMEN COLONIES IN YOUR STATE THIS IS HOW TO STOP IT
(1) Find out if
your State is one of the 16 States to start the project. Put a non-violent
political pressure on your Governor. Remember you have your voters card you can
vote him out!
(2) Call your
representatives both in the State and National Assembly and register your deep
displeasure. Call on the National Assembly to investigate and debate this
new law. The Minister of Agriculture must be invited to give full details of
the establishment of these cattle colonies.
(3) Ask your State
Government to start its own Cattle farms, this will stop the Federal Government
from establishing a cattle colony in your State.
11) THE BEST
SOLUTION: BUHARI SHOULD ADOPT BENUE'S ANTI GRAZING LAW
Benue State has
offered the Federal Govt the only solution to the Fulani Herdsmen crises in its
Bill. The bill provides for the establishment of ranches and livestock
administration, regulation and control. According to the lawmakers, the bill
will end the protracted war between Benue farmers and herdsmen.
THE BENUE BILL: A
BILL PROHIBITING OPEN REARING AND GRAZING OF LIVESTOCK
1) Nobody will be
permitted to carry out open grazing outside the permitted ranches.
2) Any person who
contravenes this act shall be guilty and upon conviction be sentenced to 5
years imprisonment with a fine of 1 million.
3) Where damage is
done to crops, the farm will be evaluated and the manager of the livestock be
compelled to pay.
4) Movement of
livestock on foot within the state is hereby prohibited.
5) Any person who
contravenes this shall be sentenced to one year imprisonment or pay a fine of
N500,00
6) Any livestock
owner or manager who carries firearms shall be treated under the penal code.
All ranchers shall engage the services of security agencies.
7) Any person who
rustles cattle shall be sentenced to 5 years imprisonment or pay a fine of
N100,000 per cow.
8) Any livestock
wandering shall be impounded by the department of livestock.
9) Any livestock
impounded and the owner not found shall be auctioned to the public and the
proceeds be deposited into the state consolidated revenue account.
10) They shall be
established, a special open prohibition TAX FORCE that will enforce these laws
as stipulated.”
Finally let your
vote count in 2019 do not be deceived President Buhari is determined to
establish these colonies all over Nigeria. There is a Military cantonment in
most States of Nigeria. And while I am not against the Army going into
ranching, I am wary that Buhari is trying to use the army to perpetrate
this great evil on our nation. We salute our Army but we must stop Buhari. Get
your PVC ready.
Especially my
brothers and sisters in the South West you are the ones that will decide for us
if you will allow Buhari continue in this plan, this is not what you bargained
for. Your votes will decide where this nation will swing.
Thank you.'
