Fulani Herdsmen Victim
This is the same Boko Haram that they told us had been "technically defeated" two years ago and whose leader, Abubakar Shekau, they claimed to have killed a number of times over the last three years but who keeps popping up all over the place like a bad coin.
This is the same Boko Haram that they took 1 billion USD from government coffers a few weeks ago and claimed that they wanted to use it to fight.
The truth is that they have told us yet another lie and anyone that believes the fanciful tale that the money was used to fight Boko Haram or any other terrorist organisation will believe anything.
Now that the Dapchi girls have been kidnapped, the Government will allocate to itself yet another 1 billion USD and tell the Nigerian people the same old story.

"No-one is more hated than he who speaks truth"- Plato.
These deeply profound and insighful words of Plato, Ancient Greece's greatest and most reverred philospher, who was a student of the great Socrates and a teacher of the great Aristotle, are as true today as they were in 400 BC when he wrote them.
You will not read the following account about President Muhammadu Buhari's so-called "war against terror" in Nigeria's mainstream media because they have mostly been compromised and intimidated by the Federal Government. You can however read it in this two-part essay if you are interested in knowing the truth.
Perhaps the most insightful and concise contribution that I have read about the history of the Fulani and their inordinate ambition and insatiable thirst for domination and conquest was provided by Mr. Gbonkas Ebiri.
His research and analysis of this topic is as historically accurate as it is outstanding. Permit me to share his words.
This message is for the Believers, for the Christian Faithful and for the Body of Christ.
I chose to share it today because it is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the annual Lent fast.
May the Lord open our eyes, may He deliver us from evil and may He hear our prayers.
More than at any time in the history of our nation this is the time to fast, pray and call on the name of our God who is the Lord of the Universe, the God of All Flesh and the Creator of All Things.
QUESTION 13.
When you said ‘originally not part of us’ in your essay, who are the people that you meant by ‘us’? Which tribes should be considered as original owners of Nigeria?
ANSWER TO QUESTION 13.
Every single tribe in the country apart from the Fulani can be considred as the original owners and I said that only in the context that the Fulani only arrived in our shores 220 years ago.
QUESTION 9.
What do you think about their leadership qualities?
ANSWER TO QUESTION 9:
There is something very interesting that Napolean Bonaparte, the greatest Emperor and leader that France ever had, once said about the British cavalry.
I believe it was at the Battle of Waterloo. He said that the British had "the best cavalry in Europe" but that it was "the worst led".
This describes the Fulani very well. They are a wonderful people who are courageous in battle, fearless and disciplined. They are also deeply loyal to their friends and bitterly ruthless and ferocious with their enemies, never forgetting a favour or a slight.

"Nobody should try to remove Buhari in 2019. All Fulanis in Nigeria today our eyes are open. All of us are behind Buhari.We have seen that they want to destroy the Fulani because of Buhari. We would be ready to follow him and fight it"- Alhaji Bello Abdullahi Bodeji, President of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), The Sun Newspaper, 3rd February 2018.
Happy birthday to my beautiful and beloved son Aragorn.
You are my strength. You are my heart. You are my joy. You are my glory.
You prove to me that amidst the darkness there is light: that amidst the turbulence of life's trials and tribulations resides the awesome power of God which brings new beginnings, courage and hope.
Few can dispute the fact that President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Ebora Owu, was one of those that brought President Muhammadu Buhari to power in 2015.
Without Obasanjo's wholesale and comprehensive endorsement Buhari would have failed woefully at the polls three years ago.
