Fulanies are always wicked. One reason I don't like staying around them is; no matter what you do to them in favor, if you hurt them today thier generation to come will revenge it on you or your kids. They don't forgive neither do they forget. Very wicked set of people ! It's rare to see good fulanies.

Now imagine another baleful story?
Dr. Junaid warn those accommodating this set of people. I pity Gov. Rotimi, by the time those Fulani turn against him eh, he will regret it.

It is true that there are bad eggs in good eggs but if they are, then the eggs should be of the same size. It is true they are bad people in good people but if they are, then the bad people should be of the same tribe, geographical areas not one infidel.


Modified, the bolded doesn't mean am gratifying the Fulanis neither am a Fulani dude. No !
Am only describing how cruel and wicked they could be, not for one to be afraid of them but to tell those willing to stay with them that they ain't nice people to stay around with.

I can never the Fulani , even the Hausa at large dislike them. That is why Dr. Junaid is against Gov. Rotimi declaration. The only reason the Hausa are frowning at the dispute is because they are tight to one religion. Am not here to create dispute but to say fact.

It is true that there are bad eggs in good eggs but if they are, then the eggs should be of the same size. It is true they are bad people in good people but if they are, then the bad people should be of the same tribe, geographical areas not one infidel.

The above are the most beautiful expressions I have read in a while

Who are the beneficiaries? Northerners and ghosts

That's what happens when an individual (Dangote) controls the prices of virtually all commodities in the country, from cement to rice, flour, sugar, etc. Expectedly, our top politicians are silent because most of them are shareholders in the Dangote Group!

3. On the contrary, the tariff for customers on service bands D & E (customers being served less than an average of 12hrs of supply per day over a period of one month) remains frozen and subsidised in line with the policy direction of the FG.

4. In compliance with the provisions of the EPSR Act and the nation’s tariff methodology for biannual minor review, the rates for service bands A, B, C, D and E have been adjusted by NGN2.00 to NGN4.00 per kWhr to reflect the partial impact of inflation & movement in forex.


What is the meaning of all these? Are these people crazy or what? So because there is inflation in the country, you should add to tariff prices? This is madness! It is just illogical!

The worst NASS and government in the history of Nigeria!

President of cows and Fulanis

The World Bank on Thursday projected that the number of poor Nigerians will increase from the current 90 million to about 100 million by 2022 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the country’s economy.

It stated that by 2022, about 11 million more Nigerians were expected to fall into poverty due to the COVID-19 crisis.

The World Bank also put the financing portfolio approved by its board for Nigeria at about $11.5bn.

The bank disclosed this during its Nigeria Development Update virtual event, which had the theme ‘Rising to the challenge: Nigeria’s COVID-19 response’.

In his presentation at the event, an economist with the bank, Marco Hernandez, stated that before the COVID-19 pandemic, about two million Nigerians were expected to fall into poverty in 2020 as population growth outpaced economic growth.

He said, “With the COVID-19, the recession is likely to push an additional 6.6 million Nigerians into poverty in 2020, bringing the total newly poor to 8.6 million this year.

“This implies an increase in the total number of poor in Nigeria from about 90 million in 2020 to about 100 million in 2022. Northern states are more likely to be affected.”

On factors that explain the increase in poverty, the bank said having a vulnerable employment, receiving fewer remittances, and being close to the poverty line were some of the factors.

The recent graduation of about 600 repentant Boko Haram terrorists and their planned reintegration into society by the Federal Government has again triggered the debate on the appropriateness or otherwise of that move by the government. In this piece , TUNDE AJAJA examines the implications of this for the Nigerian state


The warm reception the Nigerian government accorded repentant Boko Haram terrorists , who have over the years killed thousands of Nigerians, wreaked havoc on the Nigerian state and fought brazenly to shred the sovereignty of this country, is once again a matter of serious concern to many Nigerians.

This , perhaps , is one issue that won ’ t go away quickly , especially as their co- fighters are still in the North- East, especially Borno State, killing unarmed civilians and Nigerian soldiers alike in droves.

The carnage caused by this dreaded group is, to say the least , terrifying , a situation pushing many Nigerians , including security experts to ask questions about the controversial move by the government .

“It (the rehabilitation and planned reintegration ) is a mistake and a very unfortunate circumstance because reality is being stood on its head , ” said Ona Ekhomu , a seasoned security expert and analyst . “ The perpetrators are getting a soft landing; they are living on government largesse , all in some unproven claims that they have been deradicalised, which we know is not true.

“ When somebody commits murder, you keep them in jail for life or you even hang them , yet these people who are beheading others, bombing people and killing thousands are being given a soft landing. Part of the problem we have is that we don’ t have our priorities right . ”

Ekhomu , who is the chairman of Trans - World Security Systems Ltd . , added , “ I totally oppose it and think it ’ s very inhuman of whoever the policymaker is that came up with the idea that they should be rehabilitating those fighters . ”

The terrorists , who on their part have shown no mercy on the Nigerian state and its citizens, have not only kidnapped and violated many , including young schoolgirls – turning them to sex slaves and suicide bombers – they have murdered many , beheaded some , executed some openly , burnt some to ashes and turned many children to orphans , wives to widows and men to widowers .

The victims of their virulent attacks have fled for cover in different parts of the country , many are constrained to live a day at a time in the camps for internally displaced persons while some do not even know if their loved ones are still alive or are merely missing owing to the attacks.

For example , on March 23 , 2020 , the insurgents , some of whom are now being welcomed back into the society they have desecrated , laid an ambush for some Nigerian soldiers and killed about 70 of them in one fell swoop . This is in addition to overrunning military bases and killing troops in several other attacks.

Of the torrent of attacks, the most recent was the attack on the convoy of Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State and the multiple bombings that killed six persons and left about 27 persons injured few days ago . Since the insurgency started in 2009 , about 100 , 000 Nigerians are said to have been killed – the number is still rising – while about 2 . 3 million persons have been displaced .

Meanwhile , with all these , many people have expressed worry that the government is carrying on with the said rehabilitation of the ex -terrorists , in an operation tagged ‘ Operation Safe Corridor ’ .

For example , the Chairman , Senate Committee on the Army , Ali Ndume , who represents Borno South Senatorial District, in an interview with British Broadcasting Corporation Hausa Service on Wednesday, said terrorists never repent . He described the initiative as unacceptable to the people and that government should stop the programme forthwith .

He added , “ Not that they even apologised to you , they only apologised to the government with the thinking that government has failed and that is why they are being pampered. They (terrorists ) are like Kharijites . Many among those released have since run away . They will never repent . ”

He pointed out that one of the repentant terrorists had disappeared after killing and robbing his father .

Meanwhile , speaking further on the ills of the initiative , Ekhomu , who earned the Certified Protection Officer Instructor from the United States - based International Foundation for Protection Officers, stated that the programme was a reflection of misplaced priorities , noting that the country should have learnt from what happened to the late leader of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant , Ibrahim al - Baghdadi .

He added , “They (the terrorists ) have been a great threat to the society and they ought to be held. The point is that Operation Safe Corridor is a mistake . It’ s a mistake and a bad strategy because they cannot guarantee the outcome or that it would meet the policy objectives .

“ I keep telling them the famous story of ( Abu Bakr ) al -Baghdadi , who was released in a similar manner by the United States military in Iraq. They didn’ t know at that time they were releasing a guy who would go on to behead many Americans , Europeans and cause the death of many people .

“ Even though al- Baghdadi is in his grave , his hands are still here in the North- East of Nigeria , causing havoc for us .

“ So , what they are doing is recycling the fighters and the soldiers would wonder why the government is bringing in these people to fight them again . It’ s a nation that fights a war , not the army and that is why we have other institutions. Why can ’ t the criminal justice system work ? You keep them in a place for six months and then you turn back and say they are graduating them. What graduation ?”

Ekhomu described the programme as indefensible , noting that it must have been an initiative of the Boko Haram sympathisers . “ Many of the sympathisers have departed from it because they have seen the dangers in this , yet we are still defending it , ” he said . “ The other day , I saw one very laughable and ridiculous statement that the repentant terrorists have sworn allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria ; I laughed and asked if people could be so funny .

“ You mean a Jihadi guy swore allegiance to Nigeria , how does that work ? They don’ t care about you or your authorities ; they don’ t care about your government , neither do they have any regard for them . This is a very bad policy that should never have been brought in. ”

“ As of Friday , the war had been on for 11 years and four days and here we are. It started on July 26, 2009 in Bauchi State, is it not enough already? Killing their leader, Mohammed Yusuf , extrajudicially in July 2009 in Maiduguri is the silliest thing they (police ) have ever done .

“ You never kill the head of an insurgency ; you take him alive so that he can talk to his guys . We killed Yusuf but we are faced with Abubakar Shekau . Look at where we are. ”
Similarly, a security consultant and fellow, Institute of Security , Nigeria , Mr Chigozie Ubani , said even though he wasn’ t privy to what informed the decision to pardon the ex -fighters , they should be serving different jail considering what they were reported to have committed .

He explained that intelligence should have been extracted from them to strengthen the war against insurgency. “But I doubt, going by what we have , if that was done effectively or convincingly , ” he said .

He added , “The decision to rehabilitate and reintegrate them into the society is flawed , in my own view, but I wouldn’ t know what informed it and I wouldn’ t have advised that that measure should be taken because these guys would hardly repent.
