For the past six months now some kind of killings have been going on in Plateau State that one of my close friends, a soldier, even cried talking to me about it …
The question is, why should a soldier cry over a killing? Yes, I have cried not only because I have lost family members but because, I said during the Benue hype by the media that, “now they are crying to high heaven that we Fulani are killers if Benue people when they are not even sure of who the killers are. But who will help us cry to heaven about the killing of my own people in Plateau and Taraba? ” I cried.
I need not to ask him if there was any killing in Plateau because I know that in Jos North, on a daily basis you should not be as a Muslim there any day, you must be killed.
A very close lady of mine during her youth service had traveled to Jos North in her hijab. The Okada that carried her heard the guys around talking about how they would pursue her and kill her. Allah used him to talk to them that, “This is a visiting corper” yet they threatened until they sped off and carried her into safe place and then proceeded to her destination and told her in Jos North they do not want to see Muslim except they keep him.
This happened during Jonah Hang time. Hausa / Fulani and Muslims. This kind of things Gov Dalung does not like but him, those killers have not stopped killings people they call Hausa / Fulani and Muslims. It means to them, it is taboo for Plateau indigenes to be Muslims.
The question is, all of the media that are now hyping, was it that they had not gotten Correspondents in Plateau until two days ago that they could not see those killings of Hausa / Fulani and Muslims but can this? No one will ever like the split of any person’s blood. But I maintain and am now raising the alarm to the Government to be guided by the fact that the Christian South-dominated Nigerian Press have caused in the killings in particular the North is worse than imagine. If they have carried out their constitutionally anticipated responsibility over the true situation of that place, Nigerians would have collectively appreciated the truth of the problem and would have collectively agreed on an acceptable solution.
But now the PDP and Christian Association of Nigeria will want to roll out drums like they have now done their heavily patronized media are hyping same now to celebrate what they call President Buhari’s failure. If a surety, CAN should by now know that recent events have proved this Buhari’s government is Allah-backed and that to wage war against it is to sign one’s death warrant. If not, why should they still be talking about failure of Buhari when they see the governor in charge of the state proactively doing his job? Or are they saying that security of Plateau State is still the job of Buhari, the President, after all that is required for the governor to perform is given to him regularly?
It is just like they blamed Buhari for states inability to pay salaries. Yes, the states could not pay salaries until Buhari, out of pity, waded in and helped them out with bailout. You should praise the President for doing beyond his calling for the good of all Nigerians. Buhari to please wade in since the Governors you voted for have failed you security wise.
This you failed to do but the President does not need your appeal to go out of his security bailout for states and he is doing it well. BIGOTS among you – are not concerned about what you are doing well since you have all collapsed into one hypocritic front called Third Force led by Olusegun Obasanjo, assisted by Atiku Abubakar, both under whom hundreds of Muslims were killed regularly in sane Plateau during their eight years in government without them able to do anything.
“When will Buhari declare Fulani as a terrorist group?” And Felix replied:
Felix Terungwa Dav wrote:
It is impossible to declare the whole ethnic group terrorists, because it will not stand. It will be a waste of time. That’s why Obasabjo did not do that, that’s why GOODLUCK JONATHAN did not do that and that’s why BUHARI can not do that. Nobody has done that in Africa here. However, if the fulanis IN NIGERIA or some certain region they themselves derive certain nomenclature and cause terror because of the ideals of that group, then it is something simple.
The Fulani group encompasses North, West and parts of Central Africa. Only the ones in Northern and Central Nigeria can not define the entire group. Besides, the army is now treating armed terrorists … and that is enough.
Know this today, that the Fulanis living in community in Edo and Ekiti states can not be branded terrorist because their tribes men are killing in Benue and Taraba because they do not share those terrorist ideals. Same goes to the fula is living in Burkina Faso or Guinea … Allow your education help you understand these things.
In the same vein, the laws that grant the fulanis access to grazing routes mean they are YOUR COMMUNITY NEIGHBORS when they are passing through these routes. It means they are NOT INDIGENT THERE, BIT BY INTERNATIONAL CHARTER, THEY ARE TEMPORARY HOLDERS OF THE RIGHT OF PASSAGE … that is why their clashes with locals are termed the COMMUNAL CLASHES.
Pls understand.
That was the Felix response that became my consolation. And I want to position here that these killings are being made to further convince the cynics in the society either to stop Buhari’s 2019 victory or finds a way to push an entire tribe of Hausa / Fulani to a tight corner in the country that we all own . Let the minority Christian North who are most active in this devilish plot be careful and let the Christian South-dominated Nigerian Press they are using their hype their evil cause be careful because what they are doing have consequences.
To other good hearted Nigerian Muslims and Christians, let us continue to unite against these satanic agents whose dream every day is how to retake the ownership of Nigeria or they collapse the country into a waste.
I will then round this up with a post by Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, which further gives me hope for better Nigeria coming when we all really round President Buhari against the evil plotters who mislead about crisis in the land.
He wrote:
Any traditional ruler, DPO in a community that any group reports injustice to and did not act appropriately thus leading to more lost of life should be removed and dealt with.
Why do we have traditional institution, LG and police outpost in local communities of nip little crises in board before it escalates?
That came by Jimoh Ibrahim.
Saving Nigeria is duty if you and me!
