"He
distinguished between law-abiding Fulanis and criminal elements, adding that
the Fulanis should be allowed into Nigeria as long as they are criminals.He
said, “A Fulani is a Fulani everywhere. If you think that a Fulani man from
Nigeria is different from a Fulani from Mali, Cameroun, Futa Jalon, Senegal, etc,
you are deceiving yourself.
“What I
want Nigerians to understand is that Fulanis who are bandits or carrying
weapons are criminals and they shouldn’t be allowed to cross our borders to
enter into our country.” He added, “In the same manner, you can’t deny other
Fulanis from other countries from coming into Nigeria so long as they are not
carrying weapons or they are not criminals. Fulani people are migrants; they
move from here to there.”
Haba
Nigerian military autocrats (of course teleguided by the northern Moslems) who
initiated this evil plan only for Nigeria. The so-called "ECOWAS protocol
free movement across West African countries"; is meant for the terrorists
masquerading as herdsmen to have free entry into Nigeria ostensibly to
mindlessly slaughter indigenous population in southern Kaduna, middle belt
states down south for territorial expansion and populating Moslems in Nigeria.
Such
initiative like the European version was sensible without ulterior motives but
the so-called ECOWAS leaderships were deceived by the sponsors of Islamic
Theocracy ostensibly for Nigeria because other West African countries were
cautious and do not allow such free entry into their countries because Security
is an integral part of immigration.
Normally,
one must obtain passport and Visa before entry into another country because of
the strict regulations in opening a country's border for unchecked infiltration
of terrorists now raging all over the world.
The
useless organization called ECOWAS had to be used by the sponsors of Islamic
Theocracy in Nigeria to fling the borders in Nigeria at the northern part of
the country for the infiltration of terrorists masquerading as herdsmen hence
the mindless slaughtering of indigenous population and occupying their
ancestral homelands while the survived ones are languishing in makeshift
refugee resettlements while the Aso Rock Landlord, past and present look away
unperturbed. Who is fooling whom?
If Bodejo
is to be taken seriously, does it mean that Fulani herders enter European
countries like Britain, France, Canada ,etc freely? Even in some sane and
sanitized African countries like Ghana, do Fulani terrorists enter freely? Of
course, no.
President
Tinubu should tell Nigerians why he has not deemed it expedient to address the
horrible plight and privations of Internally Displaced People IDP? Is Nigeria
at war with any of her neighbouring country? This was what the Labour Party
presidential candidate, Peter Obi asked while promising to frontally and
immediately address the issue of IDPs. That is what is expected of a Statesman
and a patriotic aspiring to become president of a heterogeneous society like
Nigeria.
Instead
of addressing the IDP privations president Tinubu's concern was the
establishment of the so-called "Ministry of livestock development" to
fund private business with public funds and resources and the supposed
"local government councils autonomy" which is out of sync with the
inexorable principles of federal system of government as obtained in the First
Republic and elsewhere all over the countries that practice federal system of
government. These two monstrous aberrations constitute the greatest tragedy
that has befallen the country.
