OODUA GROUPS WRITE SULTAN OF SOKOTO


 OODUA GROUPS WRITE SULTAN OF SOKOTO

Open letter to the Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Said and the Fulani leaders
August 08, 2019
The Sultan of Sokoto and Fulani Leader
His Eminence Alhaji Abubakar Sa’ad
THE STATE OF THE NATION
We write this letter to you considering your importance as the head of the Fulani people in Nigeria. You are also the head of Fulani Muslims in Nigeria. It is our hope that you will be able to share the thoughts expressed here with the 7 million Fulani people in Nigeria through your traditional means of communication.
We write to honour you with this letter, given the floundering opportunities for a dialogue on the future of Nigeria, which has eluded the various ethnic groups in Nigeria and which may not enhance itself too soon.
Given the drumbeats of armed violence and extremism perpetrated largely by your people, and the fleeting prospects of a national dialogue, we hope this letter will not be the last opportunity to constructively engage you and the Fulani nation.
We, on behalf of Apapo Oodua Koya, (AOKOYA), a coalition of several Itsekiri, Edo and Yoruba groups write with our deepest feelings about the Nigerian state and what appears to be the pitfalls that lay ahead, most of which are oiled and orchestrated by your own people, the Fulani, albeit consciously.
THE PAST
There was no history of Fulani in today’s territory until 1804. This was 800 years after the Yoruba Kingdoms had been established, about 600 years after the Hausa, Ijaw, Tiv, Igala, Junkun Kingdoms had flourished. The Igbo Nation had existed for centuries before your people wandered into this hemisphere.
We recall that your forebears came to power through brutal and bloody conquest of indigenous peoples in many parts of Northern Nigeria under the guise of Islam even though Islam had taken firm roots in Yorubaland, Kano and Bornu Empires as early as the 11th century.
Since your sojourn in Nigeria, you have been very lucky.
A whole country of over 300 ethnic groups, was handed over to you a foreigner, first through the conquest of some of its part, you, who never owned an inch of land centuries earlier in this hemisphere.
You have reaped the fruits which trees you did not plant and you knew not when they were planted.
Moreso, you were from a family of wanderers and your emergence as Emir and the traditional ruler was unusual, having no royal blood in your veins ab initio.
No doubt, You succeeded in taking over the land, the main means of production of these innocent peoples whose main offence was that they were too caring, too gentle, too subservient and accommodating of foreigners in their ancestral homeland, Today, you sit on a throne soaked with the blood of millions of innocent souls anguished with deafening ears to the agony of the spirit of millions of victims of the horrendous killings by your men, who came from Fouta Jallon in Senegal, only some 210 years ago.
The British left in 1960 and you emerged as the main benefactor even though your people were not known to have fought for independence.
You were wise enough to plant your people in the security institutions, a reflection of your preference for force and brigandage instead of a knowledge-driven society.
Through direct military intervention or subterfuge, sly plots, you have been ruling Nigeria or determining who rule Nigeria since 1960. This is rare luck that only courageous people can manage for some time, but needs wise, intelligent, decent and conscientious people to manage for a millennium.
Under the false, artificial creation called Nigeria, your people produce no oil, yet you appropriate and decide how the resources should be expended.
You have no access to the Ocean, yet you decide which goods should be imported and which vessel should ply routes that indigenous owners of this God-given oceans had been using for centuries.
All the military weapons were bought not by your money, but you decide who should use them and who should be killed by the same weapons. You have no rich scholarly tradition, yet your people sit on the Nigerian Universities Commission, (NUC) and decide the faith of other Nigerians.
You located all the military institutions in your land, more out of fear than out of love for justice and fair play.
90 percent of Nigerian resources are sourced from the South and Middle Belt, yet you decide how the funds should be spent. Did you think this irresponsible way of life will continue for ever? Did your people think we are foolish and even if we are, did you think coming generations will accept this brazen exploitation? We have called for dialogue on these issues, but you call it treason.
The truth is that you have grossly mismanaged this opportunity. Your ruinous and destructive tradition has robbed on all Nigerians. Your intuition for aggression has become a national culture. Your disdain for debate and logical criticisms has been imbibed by Nigerians who continue to gravitate towards the custodians of political power, whose way of life must be imbibed for recognition.
You have ruined and destroyed this whole nation at your beckon due to your exclusive, narrow, primordial and savage instincts driven only by your self interest and your brutal and non-negotiable desire to conquer and subdue every nationality in Nigeria. This is a tall task which you are hell bent in executing.
THE INVASION OF YORUBALAND BY FULANI HERDSMEN
We like to caution you on your latest antics to renew your grand 1804 design to conquer the entire country, not through ideas but through the most savage tradition of killings and maiming.
This to us is at the bottom of the current Fulani kidnapping in Yorubaland. We wish to inform you that we are aware of your grand plan to renew a project done half way and put on mute mode since the defeat of your forces in 1840 by the Yoruba Army.
We are worried that you and your Fulani people have been suspiciously silent on the kidnapping of Yoruba people, the killing of our young professionals including the killing of the daughter of a prominent Yoruba leader.
We were not surprised that you and the other Fulani leaders did not consider it necessary to send condolence messages or even visit the family of the slain woman. This can only mean your tacit approval or at least, a philosophy of cold compromise.
Please be aware that in the past two years, records show that 689 Yoruba people have been kidnapped by your people, Fulani, about 400 reported cases of rape, including rape of toddlers. Out of this number of the kidnapped, 356 were women, and out of that number, 250 were married women.
In all, 112 people were killed by your Fulani people either for resisting kidnap or for failing to pay ransom. This may mean nothing to you, but to us, it means a lot.
We urge you to imagine a group of armed Yoruba cocoa farmers storming forests in Kano, Katsina and Sokoto, kidnapping Fulani people, raping their young girls and even killing the daughter of an Emir or a prominent Fulani leader? Can you also imagine the same heavily armed Yoruba cocoa farmers occupying your forests, stopping your people from farming and preventing your people from plying the highways in their ancestral homes?
To make the matter worse, imagine the armed Yoruba cocoa farmers carry out these terrible crimes under the banner of a Yoruba man as the Nigerian President. How will you feel?
As it is, your people, the Fulani are digging their hands down our throats. They are entering our bedrooms and sleeping with our mothers and wives. These actions are not only against Islam, they are against humanity.
These latest actions plus our experiences in the past have combined to renew the energy of millions of Yoruba people who want a country of their own. Either you like it or not, this will happen. God, before whom you and your big crown are like but a filthy rag, will make it happen.
We urge you to prepare your self to dialogue or if you chose the path of violence, there will be proportional response. Having Yoruba or Igbo Republics is something you do not wish to hear, but which is imminent and inevitable.
Please be aware that the Yoruba do not begrudge your values and the ways of your living, all we are saying is that we want to live our lives, design our political and cultural architecture, live and die on our own terms.
The forthcoming Yoruba Republic will be glad to accommodate righteous Fulani people who respect our civilisations and the laws of our fatherland.
We wish to use this opportunity to advice you and your people to be aware that you have no power to conquer Yoruba Nation. Your forebears tried and failed. Your military and political surrogates tried, marked with killings, maiming and destruction of our economy, yet they failed.
We ask you to instruct your people, the armed Fulani herdsmen to withdraw from Yoruba territories and on their own, mop up the cache of arms and ammunition stored in Yoruba territories.
Sir, the Yoruba people stand for peace and not war. We would prefer these issues to be resolved amicably without firing any gun shot. But, we wish to say that if your heart remains rebellious and your soul defiant, the Yoruba people are not afraid to confront you once again the way we did some 175 years ago, this time in the most ferocious manner you can ever imagine. It is necessary to let you know this even though we are aware that you will not change the conquest desires of your heart.
We wish you a happy Salah and Allah’s wisdom to know and do what is right.
Yours Sincerely,

Col Abimbola Sowumi (rtd)

HISTORY OF : *CATTLE COLONY AND FULANI EXPANSIONISM.*

HISTORY OF :  *CATTLE COLONY  AND  FULANI EXPANSIONISM.*

A LITTLE  HISTORY  LESSON  FOR THOSE WHO REALLY  WANT TO KNOW THE  "TRUTH".!   ---   FACTS,  as told by;  *Rtd. Gen.  Zamani Lekwot* and *Col. Yohanna Madaki* .

▪(Read so that History does not repeat itself in our time.!)

 *Cattle colony is not a new thing in Nigeria* . It has existed long before independence and it is called *Zango* (a word in Hausa that means *_colony_* ).

Zango has existed in many areas of Yoruba land. Till today, there is *Sango Otta* , the home country of our former president (Obasanjo). Know this, *Sango* is a corruption of the word *Zango* .
There is *Zangon Kataf in Zonkwa* , Kaduna State.

*When the Fulani's came there, they did not tell the natives that they were coming to settle. They just asked for a small land by the market as shed to sell cattle. This was granted them.* 

The Fulani's soon gained entrance into Kafanchan town and before long, they turbanned one of themselves and addressed him, *Emir of Jemaa* . *Jemaa in Hausa* *means, ALL* .
When the natives raised eye brow, they said the emire was going to be their own king, not the Kafanchan people.

During the military government, the Southern Kaduna people got a local government with the name, *Jemaa Local Government.* Later, Zonkwa got a separate local government and the local government was named *Zangon Kataf Local Government* .

The emir of Jemaa got a first class stool and the entire Southern Kaduna became tribute paying enclave of the Zazzau emirate. *The cunning jihad became a success. The Southern Kaduna people were banned from buying or selling commodities in Zangon Kataf local government save for what the Fulani's permitted.*

In the process, burukutu and pork meat were outlawed. The protest to regain the market from the Fulani became the greatest Zangon Kataf crises that consumed many southern Kaduna lives leading to the arrest and unlawful imprisonment of the most prominent Kataf son, *General Zamani Lekwot and many other Christian leaders.*

The people of Ilorin cannot tell their story as Kwara State without their Fulani Emir (in a Yoruba speaking state). So is the Emir of Muri in Jalingo who was deposed leading to the _forceful and untimely retirement_ as well as _removal from office_ of governor of *Col. Yohanna Madaki.*

The Fulanis have a history of claiming wherever they had Zango (Colony) as their own territory and from there begin expansion by bringing more Fulanis from Niger, Chad and Senegal. 
The sole aim is to drive away all other tribes from Nigeria or waste their lives and take over the land.

When NTA broadcasted for several weeks that one *Alhaji Maikudi founded Makurdi,* they are most
probably talking of a Zango (colony) located by River Benue.
Anywhere they stayed, the first Fulani to enter the town is the founder of that Zango (colony), and wherever they had Zango (colony), they will host a Fodio flag for occupation.   ( *those little flags you see hanging around their settlements that look like the Nigerian flags we use to tie along the road when celebrating October 1st* )
 *NOTE* : Those states thinking of opening up colonies or new Zangos for Fulani do not know what they are doing because in no time, they will get an Emir and Fulani will claim the whole state as their own.
 *For so long as Nigeria permit voting Fulani to be their president, federal monetary allocations will be made to buy more arms for Fulani to come from Agades and other desert places in Africa to come and live in their new colonies and begin fresh ethnic cleansing.*

▪SEND TO THOSE IN the MIDDLE BELT AND EASTERN PARTS.....they need to know what they are dealing with.!   #wiseup#

President Buhari just suspended the atrocious Ruga Settlement Plan.

But,

Don't be deceived!

Buhari is an expert in Subterfuge known in Islam as Taqyya which means deception in simple English.

The idea is simple: act like you are a listening leader by announcing the suspension of the project (meanwhile contractors have been fully mobilized to site and funding stream assured). Then, while we sleep and snore believing the project is suspended, we will wake up to see the iniquitous plan already nearing completion.

If you value your life, remain vigilant. Monitor your environment. Watch your governors and local govt chairmen closely. If you see any strange activities anywhere around you in form of one-kain yeye construction, raise your voice.

To trust President Buhari or any of his handlers is the worst mistake anyone can make at this perilous time.

For a President who hasn't built a single school, hospital, road network, vet clinic, market or manufacturing entity all through his 4 years in office to suddenly chose to build all of these in designated places all over the country with public fund IN ADVANCEMENT OF THE PRIVATE BUSINESS OF THE SAME TERRORIST HERDSMEN HE TOLD US WERE FOREIGNERS FROM LIBYA, proves that even a snake is deserving of more trust than such a President.

For emphasis, let me repeat, DO NOT BELIEVE THAT RUGA IS OFF THE TABLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT. Suspension is an English word which means, to adjourn, postpone or pause something. Temporary, not permanently. 

If you've planned a protest match to warn your governor or local govt chairman against accepting the devilish plan, it is in your best interest to go ahead with your planned protest and continue rejecting the evil programme until IT IS FINALLY TAKEN OFF THE TABLE.

Knowing the determination of these guys with their ethno-religious agenda which I believe is the number one reason this man spent 12 solid years contesting for this seat, it is reasonable to suspect they only announced the suspension to buy themselves enough time to work on our governors who they will first entice with irresistible offers which we all know some of them will accept and for those who refuse to  yield, they threaten with EFCC and their after-tenure Senate dream.

Remain vigilant and ignore the suspension announcement. It is a scam! 

Ekwuchakwaam!

MIDDLE BELT YOUTH COUNCIL & THE THREAT

Nigerians should not take Suleiman Abdul Aziz and his co-travellers serious. They do not own any part of the north. They do not represent any northern youth. Southern Nigerians should ignore their types. Empty threats have been their stock in trade. They have been using it to raise incomes for themselves. They issued Quit Notice to Igbos in 2017 just to seek relevance among Nigerians.
They do not own a millimeter of land anywhere that they can boast of.
Middle Belt region is for all Nigerians and let them cross over to our land to chase the southerners out let's see. They do not have monopoly of threat.
Any Governor from the Middle Belt that says there's land for Ruga in his state, let that Governor go to his village and seize the land first and prove whether it will work before coming to the media.

Nigerian Police should arrest him and his cohorts immediately.

Emma Zopmal,
President,
Middle Belt Youth Council.

How Buhari helped Fulani herdsmen ‘graduate’ from killing farmers to NNPC staff – Omokri


In a swift reaction to Fulani herdsmen's attack on staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), at Tse Torkula area of Benue State, former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri, on Wednesday, attacked the presidency.
 
The former aide to ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan, said the herdsmen had “graduated” from attacking and killing farmers to NNPC staff because President Muhammadu Buhari had treated their situation with “kid glove.”
 
Taking to his verified Twitter handle, the California-based Pastor wondered who the herdsmen would kill next.
 
Omokri wrote: “Due to the kid glove treatment President Buhari has given to Fulani herdsmen, they have now graduated from attacking farmers.
 
“Just like their colleagues in Boko Haram, they now attack and kill NNPC officials. I wonder who‘ll be next in the killing spree of killer Fulani herdsmen?”
 
 
Recall that armed men suspected to be Fulani herdsmen had yesterday killed an official of NNPC at Tse Torkula, Benue State. The deceased was working on the petroleum pipeline with his colleagues in the area.

BOYCOTT THE FULANI (BLOOD) BEEF

Please join the campaign to boycott beef. 
In one research, Lagos State Government revealed that over 6000 heads of Cattle are slaughtered in Lagos daily. That is over 180,000 heads of Cattle per month and about 2.2 million in Lagos State alone.

Analytical reasoning has never been known to be a forte of the African man and has been a major source of setbacks for us.
The white folks have devised a way to tame greedy and powerful people by hurting their economies. They simply boycott their products and it hurts.

Why is it so difficult to ask people to refrain from eating beef secured with human blood for now?!
I have a friend, who is very comfortable by every standard and have personally implemented this in his own household for over a yeae now as his own personal sacrifice.
Blood is being shed to secure cows that they will sell for your consumption.  Invariably, you are contributing to the bloodshed.

Ranting and sharing gory pictures on the Internet is not enough.  Make a conscious decision not to be a part of the bloodshed by not using your money to aid the  killing of our brothers and sisters all over the country so that cows may live.

Eat fish, chicken, goat meat, if your religion permits, eat pork or go veggie! They are a lot healthier!

Imagine what a total boycott will do to their economy if the whole of South and Middlebelt can tap into this.  If Lagos alone kills 180,000 a month? They hardly eat the meat themselves, we do! We consume the blood of Taraba, Benue, Oyo, Ogun, Enugu etc people. Yes we do.

Just make the sacrifice and make a conscious effort to boycott. Let's see whether it will work or not.

Even scientific experiments are tried first.
