But Hausa are the ones that opened door for fulani and accomodated them undecided

Hausa always take side with them when ever they attack their minority brothers in the North because of religion.

If not for blindness, how would Hausa take fulani as brother and hate Berom, Gwari, southern kaduna tribes and other christian northerners just because of religous difference.

You are informing us now but it will take time for most southerners to know the difference.

You share same state of origin with them. In all the Hausa states/land, we have fulani community .

You also allow them to represent you in politics. Most top politicians and governors in NW are fulani.

How do you expect southerners to differentiate you


Fulanis are nomadic in nature, it’s civilization that caught up with them, they had the privilege to settle and claim a certain place centuries ago but they never did as they prefer to move around in search of green pasture for their cattle, the lifestyle is now outdated and they need to switch to the modern style , which is more expensive, this is why education is important, they have educated ones in top places that should lead this change , the like of former president and the former CBN Governor. Nature is another major factor , the global warming has drastically reduced there chances of grazing like before, making them struggle for limited wetland with farmers

A reasonable government should invest in irrigation, we have seas in the south, pump water 💦 up north , or from the lake chad.

In all we should seek peaceful coexistence

No one should kill anyone for any reason, either herders or farmers

Considering the tension and insecurity , I think the IGP should introduce a license clearance for any group of hunters traveling with guns that will cover them for the journey, this will also enable the police to monitor the movement of petty arms in large number in transit

Sadiq Umar seems to be more talented in controversy than in football.

If you look at this Google map below, anybody traveling from Port Harcourt to Kano should ordinarily not have any business with Edo State at all not to talk of Uromi of all places.

A trip from Port Harcourt to Kano should ordinarily take the traveler through Port Harcourt-Enugu Expressway and through Enugu City to Nsukka and then Benue and connect to the Markurdi-Akwanga Expressway and then the Abuja-Lokoja Expressway.

Once in Abuja, the traveler begins to head up north to whichever part of the north he’s going.

So, wetin ‘Hausa hunters’ go find for Uromi?
You are not the one to decide anybody's route I can choose long or short route, that is my business. Besides you don't know the circumstances that made them to go thru that route. I am not speaking for them, just common sense!

Sosiq is also stupid. The Hausas/Fulanis have been killing, rapping both young and elderly women for years and the idiot footballer never mentioned it.
Southerners should buy ammunitions and protect themselves. Before you lynch them 20 times their arrogance would fade away.

Valencia forward and Super Eagles striker, Sadiq Umar, has condemned the mob killing of 16 Hausa travellers in Edo State, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Real Sociedad loanee lashed out at people’s ignorance following the tragic death of over a dozen northern travellers who were mistaken for kidnappers and lynched in Edo State.

Reports confirmed that 16 Hausa hunters, travelling from Port Harcourt to Kano for the Sallah festivities, were brutally attacked and burned alive by a mob after being falsely labelled Fulani herdsmen and kidnappers while ing through a community in Edo.

Why did Umar react to Fulani/Hausa mix-up?

According to witnesses and emerging reports, the victims were part of a Dangote cement truck heading back to the North when locals in a Udune Efandion community within Edo State allegedly blocked their route, searched their truck, accused them of being part of criminal herder gangs, and delivered mob justice on the spot.

The brutal and unjust killing of 16 innocent Hausa travelers in Edo State is a horrifying tragedy that demands an immediate and resolute response.

The fact that such a heinous act could unfold so viciously, based solely on false accusations, exposes the deep-rooted dangers of mob.

Eyewitnesses claim the men were burned in tyres, which left no chance for explanation or due process. Another, per Punch, claimed that on searching their truck, Dane guns were reportedly discovered, and the mobs were triggered.

Sadiq Umar Speaks Out

Reacting to the horrifying news, Sadiq Umar took to his social media platforms to school Nigerians on the difference between the Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups.

The Super Eagles attacker, born in Kaduna, believes there has been a distinction often overlooked or misrepresented in southern narratives.

“Only the ignorant don’t know the difference between Hausa and Fulani,” Sadiq posted. “Hausa is a tribe from the North on its own, with both Muslims and Christians in it, and with good and bad people like any other tribe.

[It is the] same as the Fulani, who have their own language (Fulatanchi)
and are also made up of both Muslims and Christians. Ignorance is killing people. We have good and bad people in every tribe.”
https://soccernet.ng/2025/03/valencia-sadiq-umar-16-northerners-edo.html
Indeed, there are NON-Muslim Hausas even in a location such as Southern Kano and Hausa folks in the Northern States of Nigeria (Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, etc) have been victims of kidnappings, killings and more from foreign Fulani herdsmen and bandits due to climate change, terrorism and wars in the Sahelian West African countries right from the early 2000s, LONG before the horrendous menace got to the South of Nigeria where Fulani herders and bandits attack farmers and communities.

Hausa language is completely distinct from Fulani language and there are different dialects of Fulani as well. I find the responses of nearly 80 percent of posters right from page 1 of this thread who are sarcastically lumping the Hausas and Fulanis as one ethnicity while justifying the killings of those 16 men to be completely irresponsible! The level of ignorance and unguarded comments here from some notorious, well-known monikers is completely asinine which shows that these creeps just don't care to seek for knowledge, but like to make inciting online posts to destabilize the polity and fuel regional tensions!

you are a liar.do u Kno what it means to follow cow?don't you know it's a culture u are born into. Even within the fulanis, there are those who don't follow cows. The ones called "Fulani gida" meaning fulanis outside the bush or fulanis dat stay at home or within ppl. The "Fulani daji" are the ones that follow cow.those ones are the ones in the bush. The ones that destroy you farms with their cattle. Take a look at Buhari, fmr president, he is Fulani, but doesn't follow cow. The ones in town are educated and have actually dominated the hausas socio-politically and otherwise

If you have never travelled to the North, just shut up. You know nothing about routes. I have traveled from Port Harcourt to the North severally and there are different routes to it. Listen and learn.

You could follow through the Aba-Port Harcourt route.

You could through Elele to Owerri and zoom off through Enugu-Nsukka route.

You can also through Owerri, connect to Onitsha Asaba, and follow through Uromi junction at Agbor and connect from there to Auchi-Kogi-Abuja and zoom off to Kano.

Travel and learn or better still shut up.

Nah you are wrong on this one. Lemme tell you for free, That was Hausa Fulani is a name the Fulani used to enslave the Hausa people. They are currently in conflict with each other.
Another misconception is knowing that almost all the northern Nigerian leaders lik Buhari, Shehu Shagari and Yar Adua' are all Fulanis

There are criminal elements in the north and south, in every part of the country. There is no justification for killing a fellow human whatsoever.
We have to condemn this heinous act and call for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
If you are happy with the killings, then you will soon fall a victim even in your own town.
