• Community leaders raise alarm
By Moshood Adebayo, Abeokuta
A septuagenarian yesterday revealed how a newly wedded lady in Asa Village, in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, (name withheld) was allegedly raped by armed nomadic Fulani herdsmen who were currently terrorizing more than 30 communities in the Council Area. Pa Mathew Olukogun who spoke with journalists during a press conference at Ojo-Odan, lamented what he described as “unabated gruesome killing of Ketu people by the Fulani/Boboro herdsmen in recent times”.
Aside from rape, assault and molestation of the rural dwellers, Olukogun said fears of being attacked by the herdsmen had gripped the villagers who were appealing to the state government to come to their aid. According to the aged man who spoke on behalf of hundreds of farmers in the area, the immoral acts by the normal Fulani had instilled fears into the communities. His words: “Aside from this immoral act by the intruders, many of our sons and daughters have been gruesomely murdered in a way that appears as if we don’t have government.
Our brilliant ones including our wives have been raped, assaulted and even killed by the strangers.” He said many of their wives and ladies that had been raped were either on their way to the market or river to fetch water. “How would you feel if I mention your wife’s name as one of those that have been raped by the cattlerearers’’,, the old man replied in an answer to a question on the need for him to mention names. Olukogun said those who had been raped by the marauders knew themselves. “Many of our wives , ladies and daughter who have been raped were largely taken to the hospital in Abeokuta, the state capital.
“We are losing people as well as being prevented from doing what we know how to do best because of the grazing of our farms by the herdsmen’s cattle’’. ‘’With the terrible experience of the raping of our daughters and ones, including newly wedded wives, living in our communities is no longer safe, hence, we have deserted the communities in hundreds, praying that the state government would urgently come to our aid.’’ According to him, the herdsmen usually lurk around the communities and unleash terror on them in such a way that they are usually helpless.
‘’The worst of the action of the marauders was the raping of many newly wedded wives in our communities and we are bitter about this.” He adds: “In a matter of days, they enter the country through our communities and destroy our farmlands with the indiscriminate grazing of their cattle. We are helpless and that’s why we are appealing to the state government to urgently checkmate them.’’ Reacting to the incident, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi said that the Ketu people were only crying wolf where none existed. While warning the Ketu people not to drag the police into the matter, he stressed that ‘’the police could only ensure that there was no breakdown of law and order rather than stopping the Fulani herdsmen from coming into the area.’’ “They should not drag the police into the matter.
The state government and the House of Assembly have set up a committee on the matter. We are only waiting for the government, he said. On his own part, the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Taiwo Adeoluwa said that the problem of the clash between the Ketu people and the Fulani had been a recurrent one in the past 15 years. Adeoluwa said that the state government’s desire to find a lasting solution to the re-occurring problem made it to set up a committee comprising the Ketu people, the Fulani and government officials to tackle the problem.
“These are unfair allegations. Last week, I held meetings with them. The 30 villages in Ketu and the Fulanis too were represented. We’ve told the Fulani herdsmen to hold on, that we have set minimum standards for them before they can come in,” , he stated. Meanwhile, a coalition of socio-cultural groups from the area, including Ketu Advancement Front, Ketu South People’s Assembly and Ketu Alliance have alleged that about 21 innocent residents of the area have allegedly been killed by the Fulani herdsmen since 2000.
The spokesperson of the socio-cultural groups, Mr. Lasisi Adewole, said three residents of the area, including Phillip Akanan from Owode-Ketu, Amosu Olofinjin and Akinola Tunde from Agbon-Ojodu have been killed this year alone by the Fulani herdsmen. Adewole also lamented that all efforts to ensure that the police, the State Security Service and the state government put in place adequate security measures to protect the people, particularly during dry season when the Fulani herdsmen usually encroached and destroyed their farms by the indiscriminate grazing of their cattle had yielded no fruits.

south western (Yoruba) people, its time to act, not sitting by the computer and punching keyboard dishing out venoms to Igbo in any slightest mention of their name while your wife’s and daughter are being defiled by intruders. The next news will be that a community has been displaced by Fulani herdsmen and that they abandoned they place and relocated to another community. When the whole Nigeria faced us, we tried our best by holding them for good three years, you people should try once. YORUBA (OJI ONU) ONE OF NIGERIA.
People in Ogun actually thought they have government, fools what you people have is Tinubu friends and co LTD.
are ona kakanfo where re u people ?dont let fulani people take over ogun state like they did in kwara state stand up and fight,if british dont fight against the germans by today british will be speaking deutsch ,if yorubas know how to pound let them pound inside the morter if they dont know how to pound let them pound on thier legs,ka chineke mezie okwu
My bro. dis is exactly wat is going on d Plateau wit d Beroms.
The story is horrible and nauseating. This is not the only place this Fulani normads commit henious crimes like rape, murder etc,.They did in my community when their animals were destrying our farmlands and tthe youths rose to confront them by killing their cattles. Since then there is peace. Let the OPC rise up. The Fulani herdsmen only understand violence for violence because of their illiteracy and their sense of reasoning that this country is under their control.
Cawards all they do is sit and throw brimestone on the at easterners when their land is invaded by monsters. The last thing a Yoruba will do is to pick gun and fight them.
Pls. We shld 2 read story wel b4 comments. D vllgrs allengtn against flani were false. Both polce n govt hs say so. Pls let us live in peace. Yorb n fulni r brodas they luv each oda.

since i clicked your joke site, i cannot access my account on face book, why?
please what can i do?
Pls, commentators, avoid foul languages. Just sympathize with victims and their relations. Proffer workable solutions. Let the Govt hear the herdsmen’s own side of the story before it takes action. QED!

the herdsmen have no side of the story. there is no portion of land in nigeria that does not belong to someone. imagine a group of tiv men move to niger state, settle in a village and begin to cultivate any available land. animal husbandery is a form of farming. modern day realities have made it impossible for the herdsmen to trespass into other peoples property with careless abandon.
What is the practice is that animal farmers make pens and ranches for them. if a cattle farmer wants to settle in a new location , he has to acquire land legally to make his animal farm.
the earlier government makes them to understand this the better.
It should b spelt out in d constitution.
Serious things are really happening in this Country. May God help us and deliver us.

Do not judge on hearing one side, the fulani should also be given the chance to speak their experiences, u all ppl know how yoruba can hold media and destroy all the good u hv done. When IBB was busy building overhead bridges in Lagos he was the best in yaruba land, a little further, when he started the construction of Abuja-Kano road what happens? The south-west newspapers viewed IBB as the worst person ever on earth. Do not listen to them just inquire.
Haa yoruba u guys are supriseing me o, hw can unsecomsize rape ur new wedded wifes nd u r waiten 4 de goverment 2 fight 4 u in ur own land. Nawa o i am seen u people as an handicap it is a shame. The fulani’s dat does’nt eat eba is haracen u in ur own village, this can never happen in igbo land if na lie make dem come try
Government will not do anything cos political alliances between hausa-fulani and yoruba.yoruba leaders are too deceitful.

It is a pity. I hope they are not Boko Haram? God bless Nigeria.
Demon on the land. Where are the OPC boys? Or are you tired soon? How can a thing like this happen to the southerners? You people failed below expectations. Be on your guards or the next thing is the emergence of boko haram in the whole south.
to all OPC this is call to duty,otunba GA se e n gbo mi ye.
I think this forum is not good for someone to comment anymore I can see that some people don’t think at all, because this is a case which some particular people established and we have not hear from the so call Fulani . What of if the allegation is falsed against Fulani, let us becareful with our comment. Shame to all of you that is talking rubbish on this platform
Manofgod or what u cal ur name if u dont hav any coment be silient ok it is not d 1st time hausa/funlani are leasing terror on sagumu people in ogun state ok
Fulani people have responded to this funny story of yoruba people of raping. This is basically because many of these new husbands cannot perform their conjugal duty to the satisfaction of these beautiful brides. You may ask the ladies for confirmation.

Instead of u rising up to fight the uncircumcised fulanis, u re busy criticising govt, u re busy strategising on hw to merge and enslave urself and ur generations to the fulanis in 2015. I dey laugh…o. If by mistake u allow buhari or any fulani to emerge in 2015, una own life go finish.
Who are you complaining to. The Yourubas are just showing who they are. Cowards.
Strangers are raping your women and you don’t know what to do. Shame on you
When you remember how to buy their cow for owambe party, you loose your sense of resoning.
pat,you are really really finny,Aren’t you.
Manogods is a bastard, hav u seen any alegation leveled agaist housafulani that is lie, manofgods u beta travel to north and see how dis ppl bhave, funky monkey manofgods not God i serv.
Has That little boy Fani-Kayode and Abachas boy Babatope spoken? They were quick to rant on Chinua Achebe’s book but will ever remain cowards on issues that affect them directly.
If the story above is true. This so called Fulani guys need to be checked. There are everywhere causing havoc, killing and maiming innocent citizens. They need to be checked now or what is happening in Plateu state will be replicated.

You money mongers, fraud etc. you are dirtying the image of Nigeria.
Igbo’s are being sentimental here. Why are you guys insulting the sensibility of Yorubas. Yoruba’s know who is their kith and kin and who their enemies are. You igbos do not have to incite any body
May God forgive our sins and let peace reign in Nigeria.
Arise O Compat……. Why shouting now. What goes round comes round. You will see what I saw is not a curse.
Fool..
Yoruba go and fight. Or are you not ready to fight. Then hear this: IT IS BETTER TO DIE ON YOUR FEET THAN TO LIVE ON YOUR KNEES. The Igbos know this. The YORUBA are currently living on their knees. COWARDS THAT DIE MANY TIMES BEFORE THEIR DEATH. BY THE WAY I HAVE HIGH POTENT DRUGS FOR STDS IN CASE ANY OF THE WOMEN ARE INFECTED.
U re running away from ur community just because of ordinary Fulani herdsmen shame to ur community. This rubbish can not happen anywhere in eastern region. If u don,t know what to do allow ur people to eat up those cows and cattles within one month, they will disappear to thine air useless intruders.
Why were rape as well as the murder cases not reported to the police?. I hope it is not a case of giving a dog a bad name in order to distroy it. The Police should please investige and prosecute any body found wanting.
Someone that has never taken bathes for all yr round to have sexual intercourse with a human being, a very big embarrassment to Ogun state govt and her people at large.
At times some pple comment before or without reasoning.My advice to the village concerned is to fight for ur right at all cost.I wil neva allow somebody to kill but will rather kill d person and face whatever may come after.
I do not understand why a responsible newspaper editor should allow a contributary column to be used for any advert at all, not to talk of promiscus or 419 adverts by useless elements of the society.
I find it disgusting. Please do a good censor before publishing and do not make your newspaper look like trash.
Fulani Herdsmen are all known for all kinds of immoral acts, ranging from killing, raping ans stealing. They destroy people’s farm without remorse because one army general is the one they are serving. Ogun People should take their destiny in their hands as we did in eastern part of the country. No Fulani man will use their muturu to destroy Igbo man farm and go scot free. In my state particular we burn down their settlement and chase them out in the night, since then they have learn their lessons.
I remember a case, somewhere in Enugu State, where these terrorist-fulanis invaded. They destroyed farm lands and killed women who were alone in farmland. The youths of the community came together, attacked their settlement, killing many of them and buried them somewhere. Their animals were used for feast. In another village in Abia, they sprayed poisoned chemicals on the grasses within their grazing routes and those animals died in thousands. The idiots left by force. If yorubas cannot fight, let them spray poisoned chemicals on the grasses along their grazing routes to teach those Chadians parading themselves as Nigerians.
Wawaman, I disagree totally with your suggestion. please let all the commentators condemn this type of suggestion. Poisoning in any form is tantamount to using chemical weapon o fight a war. Let us all condemn it as it is an ill-wind, whose multiplier effects goes beyond the control and imagination of the initiator
What an evil alliance mortgaging your wives to Hausa/Fulani herds men. It’s just the beginning !
FULANI HERDSMEN ATTACH ENUGU COMMUNITY (SUN NEWS AUGUST 19, 2012)
you are write I read the story and but I have not heard the out come of that case till today. May God save nigeria.
ULANI HERDSMEN ATTACK ENUGU COMMUNITY (SUN NEWS AUGUST 19, 2012)
YORUBA, IGBO….WHY UNA TOO QUARREL? THE FULANIS OFTEN ATTACK ALL SOUTHERNERS….WE NEED TO WIPE THEM OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES
From KASSIDY UCHENDU, Nsukka
The people of Nimbo in Uzo Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State are now licking their wounds following a recent attack on the peasant farming community by Fulani herdsmen.
At least two villagers were killed in the mayhem unleashed on them by the herdsmen who allegedly settled on the community’s farmlands in contravention of a subsisting court order.
The invaders also allegedly raped women, burnt houses and vandalized yam barns before fleeing the area.
According to sources, the only ‘offence’ of the villagers was that they dared to tell the herdsmen to take their herds of cattle off the farmlands of their hosts. During the attack, two students of Nimbo Community Secondary School were shot dead by the herdsmen. Those killed were identified as Thaddeus Utazi (17) and 19-year-old Michael Okeja , both JS3 and SS II students respectively. It was gathered that Thaddeus’ father, Chief Ugwo Utazi, fainted when he heard the news of his son’s death and died four days later. He was buried before his late son.
The entire community was still mourning the dead when Sunday Sun visited the area. At the home of the Utazis, the graves of the father and son were side by side. Mother of the late Thaddeus, Mrs Caroline Utazi, was seen inside a hut apparently devastated by the death of her husband and her son, described as the family’s breadwinner. Family sources told Sunday Sun that when he regained consciousness initially, her husband had vowed that he would not be alive to bury his son. He died before the police released Thaddeus’ body for burial.
The story was the same at the family-home of the late Michael Okeja, as scores of plastic chairs used by mourners littered the compound while some villagers sat in groups. The stepfather of the deceased, Mr Wilfred Okeja his wife hardly spoke as sympathizers trooped in and out of the compound. Mr Okeja who is staff of Uzo-Uwani Local Government told Sunday Sun that Michael was working in their farmland located at Ugbo Owerre when the herdsmen struck.
“My son was killed in cold blood by the Fulani people who had been a thorn in the flesh for our people for some time now. Michael was not armed. He was the third child in a family of seven children and had been a quiet hardworking child. “His offence was that he challenged the Fulani for bringing their cattle into our farmland. That was the third time they invaded our farmland in one week and, they shot the boy dead.
The Fulani were using sophisticated weapons like Ak-47 riffle. They raped our women with reckless abandon and impunity”, Okeja lamented. A community leader, Mr Charles Ezea, wondered if the Fulani herdsmen were rapists and murderers or deliberately sent to terrorize his people in another version of Boko Haram. Speaking to Sunday Sun, Ezea, said: “ You know that farming is our main occupation. Each year, we record huge losses in farm produce due to the devastation caused by herds of cattle brought in by these Fulani herdsmen.
We went to court to stop them from bringing their animals into our farms and got an order in our favour. We identified our boundaries with signposts, but they removed them at night. They have been a source of worry to us.” It was gathered that after the attack, the herdsmen retired to their tents and shot sporadically into the air throughout the night, apparently to ward off possible counter-attack.
The following morning, they fled using the Odoru route in Kogi State. Meanwhile, the community has petitioned the Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Mr Musa Daura, and sent copies of the petition to Governor Sullivan Chime, the Chairman of Uzo-Uwani Local Govrnment and the SSS, protesting the attack. Sources stated that the Commissioner of Police visited the area and saw the corpses of the students before they were buried.
Chairman of Uzo-Uwani, Mr Cornel Onwubunya told Sunday Sun over the telephone that the incident was unfortunate and condemned the killing of the two students. He called for peaceful co-existence of the Fulani and the natives, and urged the herdsmen to desist from destroying the crops of their host communities.
NEWS CONFIRMED
Onyema Uche.August 20, 2012 at 2:36 am – Reply
The Enugu people are a shame to Ndigbo. The Hausa kill you in their land you cry and complain, they came to your backyard and kill you, and all you can do is cry? You all should commit mass suicide because you have collectively disgraced Igbo nation, lost the honour to answer my people, and have no value to live. I only wish there were men in Enugu or even youths. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU.
The statement credited to Mr Muyiwa Adejobi Ogun State Police PRO is least expected from him. If the police can not help the helpless people of Ketu they(police) should cover their eyes in shame.
You need to defend and protect your people, you are part of the State government, your decisions also count.
Drive them away, it is not compulsory you must eat cow, after all we have mushrooms, locust beans, garden eggs, fows, pigs among others.
Hahahahaha,Yoruba people lough wan kill me die were you people are,Coward tribe.Sate Police Public Relations Officer,Mr Muyiwa Adejobi made a calculative and sensitive speech i so much like and i Quote;the Ketu people were only crying wolf where none exisit,While warning Ketu people not to drag the Police into the matter.Mr Muyiwa Adejobi your such a smart Police for distancing yourself from the matter even though those Ketu people are your kith and kin Yorubas.So Ketu or Yorubas Mr Muyiwa Adejobi just gave you people clue or incite on wat to do to the Fulani Herdsmen by wat he said indirectly so it left for you to take the laws into hand and chase away the Fulan Herdsmen or live them to wipe your community and take over but we all knows that Ketu people and Yorubas as a tribe dont have the Lever or heart to fight back becouse they were such a coward tribe.Am happ that Fulanis are encroaching in your land Yorubas becouse he who fetched Ant infected wood only invites Lizards for a feast,so Yorubas you people should take heart of wat has befalling on you people becouse had it been that your stupid late sage god Awolowo didnt betrayed our most outstanding late Ojukwu by now every tribes would have been on his own.Such thing where Housa-Fulanis mess up will never happened in the South East,we all knows how Housa was massacred along with their Cows,Goats,Sheep etc and even their Masques were born to ashes both in Onitsha,Nnewi,Awka,Ekwuluobia even reach Asaba during Mohammed Cartoon crises and then recently Ugwuobia cattle market were many Housas and their Cows were massacred and even their thatches were born to ashes thats why they now respect themselves
The nomadic fulani is a stark illiterate, he has no sense of judgement, he does anything and sees it right, I am not doubting this story, you see! this village in ogun is in soup, when they sleep with their cows, they come to sleep with your wives ad daughters and new wedded wives also kill their husband, and all you do is calling your so called govt. the police is already denying you, “don’t drag police into this” means don’t call govt. to this. Go out, fight and liberate yourselves, if you allow them the more, they will become owners of your land, all your wives and daughter will have no choice but to continue to sleep with them. don’t be cowards.
Segzy your type wount stop to amused me,i know wat your trying to do Segzy but i tell you wat you try another tactise becouse yous using an old and faded tactise so as to portlays Enugu or compares them with your Yoruba tribes that everybody in Nigeria knows that they are such a weakly and cowards.Though am from Anambra but i still remember wat happened at Ugwuobia wen Housa their cows and their thatches were borned and destroyed and are we eve talking about wat Anambra did to Housas during Mohammed cartoon crises and since then Housas have run and abandoned Bridge head,Main market Onitsha to Asaba.Yorubas and their cowardice hmmm only mouth they have so Segzy your Yoruba tribe are weakly but if were Igbos are you people will know how to bark and wag your tails but cant bite
DID I HEAR WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT. WHICH GOVERNMENT ? AMUSUN ?? THE ONLY THING WE HAVE WITNESS SINCE AMUSUN TOOK OVER FROM DANIEL WAS A VERY BIG GIANT BILL BOARD ERECTED AND THANKING US FOR VOTING HIM IN.THAT’S ALL. PLEASE IF YOU OF ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT, SAY IT HEAR SO THAT WE CAN VERIFY. THE GOVERNOR WITH THE TALLEST CAP. YEYE MAN.

It is disheartening I pray this will not happen in Ijebu land which is also part of Ogun where i came from. The Fulani will regret their action if it were to happen in Ijebu as the Youth and old people will never fold their arm and watch helplessly.We will defend ourselves.
You have spoken well the action of these Yewa North made the Igbo to think we are coward we are never a coward. Yorubas are never coward we are strong and brave people. The only difference between Youruba and Igbos is we think deep before we act. Even at the end of Biafra war after Ojukwu ran away his second in command Phillip Effiong handed over to Gen. Obasanjo a an illustrous Yoruba man which signified the end of the war. Long live Yoruba nation; Long live Nigeria.
Ketu village should be able to look after there people. If u allow the outsiders to start killing n raping ur people n u’re still waiting for de govt to help u,then u’re all fools. Give them fire, that is de only thing this alimajiris know. If they kill one of ur people, make sure u kill twentyt of de bororo n if they rape one of ur women kill twenty of bororo n forty of there catles. Use an eye for an eye. If u do this i assure u they will leave ur place. Show them no mercy. Don’t even allow them again to graze their catles on land again. They’re murderers kick them out of ogun,useless alimajiris.
Though the action of these fulanis is condemned and it’s high time government put a stop these by building ranches for them in some states of the Federation,the CAPTION of daily sun is misleading!
No amount of comments from the Igbo, will make us acts. You are trying to set confusion between the Yoruba Nd Hausa fulani@ Steve and Frank, you sound like someone who provide the stories. Becareful on your participatio in tryind to create insecurity,
Where is OPC? Lol………
Where is OPC? Lol……….
Yorobas and their boasting hmmm,did i hear someone said that if Fulanis raid Ijebu land that thier youth and elder will not fold their hand and thdy will fight Fulanis.Yorubas whether your from Lagos,Ibadan,Osun,Ogun,Oyo the fact remain that Yorubas are cowards and the worst part is that they are sabotours
@ Stine Chykee or what do u call urself if you know any of the Fulani herdsman you can advise them to come and try that nonsense in any part of Ijebu land they will regret it I say it with all sense of sincerity and seriousness. The one that happened in Enugu as reported in Sun Newspaper FULANI HERDSMEN ATTACH ENUGU COMMUNITY (SUN NEWS AUGUST 19, 2012). Is Enugu not Political headquarter of Igbo land. The senseless people among Ndigbo take delight in insulting Yoruba with every opportunity they have despite the fact they live in lagos and other Yoruba land unmolested. Ley me remind them once again that they loss Biafra war and Ojukwu deputy handed over to Yoruba man – Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo when ojukwu fled the country.
You mean this animals have come to Ogun state in the south to terrorize them!!?? what is Nigeria turning to!!!?? the yoruba man is not save in the north nor is he save in his state!? Ha! Nah wao! what is the govt waiting for!
OPC is dead. Gani Adams is now a very rich man and he is now busy collecting chieftency titles all over the places, . You will only see the young man at various events trying to struggle with English language. OPC is surely in disarray and only exists on pages of newspapers and TV. It is quite amazing that some strangers will come to your community, then rape your women, kill your your ones and yet you say you are waiting for policemen. To come and do what? I am a Yoruba man but can assure you that those fulani guys will NEVER try such a thing in any Iboland and that is the truth.
Are u sure the people of that communities are truly Yoruba people?
A lot of comments really show the high level of illiteracy of the commentators. What a shame. People should know that this is a public forum and must use decent language in canvassing their ideas.
This portal should be professionally moderated to filter out junk. It’s gotten to a point where serious minded people now avoid reading comments because of junk. Senseless ethnic, religious and racial comments should be edited out.
Commentators should also be aware that their IPs could be forensically traced and their true identities revealed by law enforcement, in case of investigations. Finally, this Newspaper organization should take responsibility and moderate this public forum properly.
the current situation of crisis between fulanis and other Nigerians must be addressed by the Government. one how in advanced countries do they treat the nomads and how can the fulanis be treated to avoid blood shed. two, the fulanis must be given the opportunity to go to school because an uneducated [person is a danger to the society. thanks.
Yorubas, yorubas, yorubas, hw many time ve i cal u? Wake up 4rm cowardship, wake up 4rm sabottach, wake up 4rm slumber and protect ur land 4rm invaders. Stop being against our wise advice , so dat u will nt be destory. Take our advice and criticism serious and be vigillant. Stop depending on govt and take ur destinies in ur hands. Stop being sabottach and hypogrite to the pride of southerners and nigeria in general.
These strangers can not let Nigerians have peace,from Jos middle belt to south west all the way south east creating confusion,police or govt do not need any further investigation about these bastards to ascertain the truth,it is on record,can some one imagine herdsmen carrying AK47 rifle,vampire that doesn’t know the value of life but when an average Nigerian gets a double barrel gun for self protection,so called security agencies will charge him and seize it, these herdsmen that came from mali, chad,niger feel that they own Nigeria but I tell them its all over for them,let them be called to order,I don’t care who own the cattle or behind them and let sound it clear that for an uncircumcised infidel to rape a christian woman requires a bloody reparcaution quote me anywhere, I rest my case
Adeleke Lawal this your statement has shown how myopic,sentiment,selfish,self centered,stupid,foolish Yorobas can be but not all Yorobas can think and reason through their anus atleast George is one of in a milion Yorobas who can think well before they comment without sentiment.George please tell your Yoroba brothers that Igbos are not cowards like them and God bless you for your wise comment George
The Ogun State PPRO’s statement shows that the community are helpless indeed.
May be he has been bribed with cows or how can he talk like that? that they are crying wolf where there is none.
Is it fair for farmer to plant, and while awaiting to harvest his crop, the farm is invaded with cattles and the crps destroyed in the name of grazing?
Cant the Cttle Fulanis with their enormous wealth form cooperatives, acquire and establish graze lands along their route?
Government should assist them if the project is too large for them to carry out alone. The same passion they have for their cows is the same passion farmers have for their crops.
This reminds me of the encounter the late Gen. Tunde Idiagbon had with the cattle fulanis in his farm in Kwara State.
The fulanis in their character, had invaded his farm with their cattles, destroying his crops. His persistent warning fell on their deaf ears.
He set up a sentry in his farm, loaded his guns and layed in wait for them.
They came calling as usual and the general started gunning down their cattles one after the other. government had to intervene and the problem was solved.
There is no need for the government to wait until this scenario is repeated before intervening.

This is for Moshood Adebayo the reporter that submitted this story. Is there a way to contact you? via tweeter or email? Thanks
Shame on you, all that have been calling the Yoruba people certain uncomplementary names through this medium and even other media. You are all fools who lack simple etiquettes. That somebody provided this avenue for you to air your opinions is not enough for you to vent your anger and venom over any unpleasant situation you may be facing in the country. Yorubas are not your problems. And the early you think like human beings, the better for you to ascertain where lie your problems and how best to solve them rather than being sentimental over every issue that concerns the yorubas. With all these display of parochial attitudes, you can NEVER achieve that your aim which to any right thinking person looks selfish, greedy and even stupid in this contemporary time.
Fulanis are mainly moslems who believe in killing and taking by force. They’ve done that in Kwara State, they’re doing it in Plateau and will conquer Ogun if left unchecked. The moslems have, in clandestine manner, vowed to dominate southern Nigeria but to start with south west then south south before joining forces to subdue south east. Southerners beware.
Where are those bastards, cowards, local champions, called OPC? You can’t try this with those useless fulani’s in their desert. Anyway Asa is my village and I knew about this long time ago.
all yorubas are cowards. all nigeria and Biafran know this.
they shout and scream but thats just the end of it. fulani wipe them out and take their land cos they are all empty vessels. IDIOT of a people. tribalists, ritualists.
Yoruba, stop this nonesence or it wil make you people more nonesencesical than others.
it is time youth of the communities unite together and see how this menace can be curb.
Hey people don’t condemn the whole tribe of people for the sins of a few people. In every tribe,there are good people and there are bad people. Hold the guilty people responsible and let the laws take care of them. Do not punish innocent people for the sins committed by others even if they are from the same tribe.And please enough of the encitements.Remember you will give account of your actions here on earth one day.
one nigeria, fools
Nonsense! Many of you commentators think upside down! Why all these name calling of the yorubas by those who seem to be ibos over this issue? If you ibos are enraged because you lost the Biafra war via the intransigence of the yorubas as you think, then you can still stage the war now without putting the yorubas in the know. They say he who fights and run away lives to fight again at another time. Since you fought and ran away before, you can still fight now by raising many Ojukwus and declaring your Biafra, leaving yorubas alone to their fate instead of all these senseless names calling you are busy with on the media. Rather than think sensibly and react to issue objectively, most of you are occupied calling yorubas all sort of names. You want Biafra and some of your people accepted still to be SGF, National Assembly members, Ministers, Chairmen and Board Members, Governors e.t.c. under this our Nigeria Federation.
interesting,my advice is that , all the men in ogun land should take both their pregnant and nursing mother to D.N.A test to confirm the orignal or the biological father of their kids,more so HIV and LEPROSY test
Igbo and yoruba na wa for una o. It is you people that always travel far and wide. What is the trading of words all about. Opc. Bakassi boys, arewa youths, biafra, ijaws etc na one nigeria. This fulani issue can happen to anybody in nigeria, because the nigeria as a state does not care about it’s citizens, if we read the passage carefully you will observe that the fulani herdsmen are not nigerians. So for people to say ” if they try it in my community we will do this or do that” it is a very good step. But is this country worth dying for??? You are alive sef the economy is still bitting hard on the family let alone if one dies for the country. Who will remember your family?? We will fight any inversion but wit logic to avert any lose of life on our side, so that our country will be safe.
But how could Fulani herdsmen rape and kill Yoruba people without the Yoruba nation reacting to that atrocity?
We heard what you did. the fulani reporting is conflicting making naijas 2 b at loggerhead. Sun newspaper, sun newspaper.
