Buhari blames militants for administration’s failings

August 30, 2023 by BN Africa

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Maiduguri blamed Niger Delta militants and reduced oil earnings for his inferior performance in his over six years at the helm.

Mr Buhari, who was in Borno State to commission some projects undertaken by the state government, made the excuses after listening to some requests by Governor Babagana Zulum and the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Ibn-Umar El Kanemi.

“Nigerians should be fair to the administration in terms of reflecting on where we were before we came in 2015 and where we are now,” Mr Buhari urged, “relative to time and resources, I want people to check with CBN and NNPC between 1999 and 2015. Oil production is 2.1 million barrels per day and at a cost of 100 dollars per barrel. I challenged everybody to go and check.”

Mr Buhari continued, “When we came, unfortunately, the militants from the South-South were unleashing on the pipelines, the production went down to half a million barrels per day.

“The prices went down to 36 dollars per barrel. So relative time and resources would make you know that this administration has really worked hard.”

Upon his arrival in Maiduguri, sounds of rockets fired by insurgents, Boko Haram/ISWAP, rented the air, creating panic among residents who have endured over a decade of trauma in the raging battle.

Nonetheless, the Shehu of Borno claimed before Mr Buhari that “peace has gradually returned to Borno” while thanking him for his efforts “toward bringing lasting peace in Borno as well as the entire North East Sub-Region.”

“I am happy to inform the President that farming activities have picked up in most parts of the state and many displaced persons have started to return to their communities,” he said.

Mr Elkanemi said he “will not relent in prayers for their(military’s) success for peace to prevail in all parts of the country and indeed for Mr President.”

The Shehu appealed to the president to consider the reconstruction of federal roads in the state especially Damboa-Biu Road Gamboru Ngala, Biu-Shani and Kukawa then Kukawa- Guzamala-Damasak through Gashagar to Malam Fatori.

He said that the reconstruction of the roads will not only enhance security but also accelerate rehabilitation of the destroyed communities to quickly revive the economic well-being of the displaced persons.

On his part, Mr Zulum, who expressed the same feelings, said that the successes recorded in the counter insurgency campaign wouldn’t have been possible without the commitment of the Nigerian Military, Civilian JTF and other paramilitary officers.

The governor said notwithstanding the challenges in some parts of the state, peace was gradually returning to the state.

He identified some areas in Askira Uba and the shores of Lake Chad in Northern Borno with challenges, but assured that he would partner with the service chiefs to address the emerging problems.

Federal and state agencies clash at oil spill site

August 30, 2023 by BN Africa

Representatives of some federal agencies and the Bayelsa State government have differed on the cause of the November 5 oil spill at Oil Mining Lease (OML) 29 at Nembe Bayelsa.

The accident seriously polluted the Santa Barbra River and Nembe Creeks.

While regulatory agencies of the federal government opined that the leak was an act of sabotage by yet-to-be-identified elements, the Bayelsa State government is cautioning against hasty conclusions.

On Wednesday, Joint Investigative Visit (JIV) to ascertain the cause, volume and impacted areas resumed following a visit by the Minister of State for Environment, Sharon Ikeazor.

The JIV is a statutory probe that follows every reported leak incident.

The JIV is usually convened by the operator of the leak facility and it comprises representatives of the oil firm, affected communities, regulators and state ministry of environment.

Representatives of the National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) told newsmen after the visit that they traced the leak to sabotage.

Ismail Baba-Ahmed, NOSDRA’s representative on JIV said based on his experience in fluid mechanics and interactions with well head experts who plugged the leak, only vandalism could have caused the spill.

He said the threading on the wellhead casing from where the valve was removed was not worn out, a development that suggests that the leak was not caused by pressure.

Adetoyibo Adeyemi of NUPRC agreed with NOSDRA that physical examination of the failed well head indicated that the pressure from the oil well was not sufficient enough to blow it.

Enai Reuben, Head of Pollution Control, Bayelsa Ministry of Environment, however, told newsmen that the inspection was inconclusive because the JIV team could not see the exact point of the leak.

Therefore, Mr Reuben said, it would be inaccurate to draw conclusions on the cause of the spill.

“It will be inaccurate to draw conclusions without seeing the leak point. In an investigation it is called evidence-based conclusion”, he said.

He wondered why the well head could not be preserved for evaluation after the leak was stopped.

The leak which was reported on November 5 was plugged on December 8, while 16,280 barrels of crude and crude sediments were recovered from the incident site.

Buhari holds closed-door meeting with APC governors

August 30, 2023 by BN Africa

President Muhammadu Buhari has met behind closed doors with governors elected under the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Though the agenda of the meeting was not officially disclosed, it was gathered that some national issues including the ongoing currency swap, fuel shortages in some parts of the country and their possible effects on the February and March general elections might have been discussed at the meeting.

Some of the governors in attendance include the chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, governors of Ebonyi, Dave Umahi, Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Imo, Hope Uzodimma.

Others are those of Zamfara, Bello Matawalle; Ogun, Dapo Abiodun; Yobe, Mai Mala-Buni; Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai; Kano, Abdullahi Ganduje; Kwara, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq; Niger, Sani Bello among others.

The Fulani and Endemic Insanity

August 30, 2023 by BN Africa

(Dedicated to those that see nothing wrong in the unprecedented maladministration, bigotry, fundamentalism, injustice, nepotism, insecurity, kidnapping, killings and genocides who themselves may end up being kidnapped, raped, maimed and killed by Fulani terrorists in the present dispensation).

Where are the sane Fulani population? Don’t they know that their race has a “psychiatric emergency” on its hands? Even if others don’t tell them, shouldn’t they be courageous enough to face themselves?

Among the sane Fulani who realize this is the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar. He lamented on Friday, February 25, 2021, at a meeting with Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) that seven to eight (out of 10) of bandits on the rampage nationwide — kidnapping raping, burning, butchering men, women and children are Fulani.

With the relatively small population of Fulani in Nigeria, that is clearly a psychiatric emergency…
Youngsters who rape women their mother’s ages, adults who hack to death toddlers (of the same ages as their own children) in school uniforms, who rip open stomachs of pregnant women who have done them no wrong are not sane.

Men who, like Boko Haram, kidnap juveniles and teenagers in hundreds and threaten to kill them— and actually shoot some point-blank— for ransom are raving lunatics — whether or not they foam in the mouths.

Latest reports say whole Fulani towns have now taken to kidnapping as lifelihood…
The mad fellows who opened fire on fellow humans in a Sokoto market on Sunday, October 17, 2021 were not foreigners. They were recognized Fulani neighbours of their victims.

Survivors are still in shock at seeing the very boys whose mothers they have always helped opening fire on their own boys.

The killers are Fulani.

Realising that many had taken refuge in a particular shop, the Fulani lunatics concentrated fire on the said shop. Kicking the door open afterwards, the lunatics went round kicking the bodies to discover which was still with life, one of the survivors recounted…

Those who do that to fellow humans who had done them no wrong are insane.
Sokoto authorities, apparently embarrassed by the stark insanity of it all were said to be suppressing the gruesome reality: They have raised a generation of lunatic youths and psychotic adults…
In fact, Fulani lunatics now kill more Nigerians than Boko Haram, ISWAP and Covid-19 combined.

From Benue to Taraba, Edo, Oyo, Enugu, Ogun, Nasarawa, Borno, Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina etc, it is Fulani youths and adults kidnapping, raping, burning, maiming, slaughtering…
Where are their parents and elders?

These very same mindless crimes have placed Boko Haram and ISWAP high on the Global Terrorism Index, GTI.

On July 23, 2021, The Emir of Muri, Alhaji Abbas Tafida, fed up with the brazen crimes of the lunatic Fulani, issued an ultimatum to all killer Fulani in his domain:
“Our brothers, the nomadic herdsmen (Bororo) from neighbouring countries, you came to us to allow you to stay in our forests. We allowed you because you are our brothers. When you came, we welcomed you. We regarded you too as fellow Muslims. But the question you must answer is ‘are you Muslims?’ We deserve to know if you are Muslims.

“But if you are one of us (Muslims) and you decide to stay in the forest, coming only to kidnap us one by one for ransom, you should stop it because your attitude is not acceptable to Allah.
“But if you are not Muslims, I want to tell you, like we fought the infidels before, we are ready to fight you with all our strength.
“So, I have given you (Bororo) 30 days to leave my emirate. If we see any one of you after the expiration of my ultimatum, we will kill him. I am calling on my subjects to know that and be ready to fight or else I will draw the line…
“We kill him without asking him what he came to do or ask his name or where he comes from. If we are going to be all killed, let it be. We will not allow bastards come and be kidnapping our wives, take them to the forest and rape them or commit adultery with them…
“Any person found conniving with these criminals, we will go and kill his mother and other siblings…
“There is no way we cannot be free in our homes and work, we cannot sleep with our two eyes closed. I am calling on Ardos (Fulani leaders) to stop these barbaric acts in my emirate because you all know who are carrying out these criminal activities…”

So, foreign Fulani are also involved, apparently invited by their local kinsmen to join in the slaughter.
On Monday, September 6, 2021, Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, was virtually in tears on a national T.V station (Channels) as he admitted that the bandits ravaging the country are mainly Fulani like himself who have been resident in Nigeria for decades. He admitted that his colleagues from the North might not like his candor:

“They (bandits) are the same people like me, who speak the same language (fulfude), like me who profess the same religious beliefs like me.
“So what we have here on ground are bandits; they are not aliens, they are people we know. They are people that have been living with us for 100 years.
“The infiltration we have from some West African countries are also people of the Fulani extraction.
“Majority of those involved in this banditry are Fulani whether this is palatable or not palatable, but that is the truth. I am not saying 100% of them are Fulani but majority of them are, and these are people who live in the forest and their main occupation is rearing of cattle (herdsmen).”
In desperation, Masari closed several roads and suspended sale of cows in 14 councils in Katsina State.
He disclosed too that over 100 groups of lunatic Fulani herdsmen are in the forests, “all made up of bandits, kidnappers, rapists and armed robbers…”
Expectedly, lunatic members of Miyetti Allah attacked him as a drunk…
On the rare occasions when these terrorists are captured, they are found to be barely conscious caricatures of human beings with hardly anything that can be called a soul.

Asked his job, one of them in a video clip, responded: “finaffing”.

It was some of these psychos who kidnapped a respectable family of three who came home from Europe. They subjected the family go to nine days of dehumanizing torture — including their nine-year-old daughter who was visiting her parents’ country for the first time. The brave woman, in tears, subsequently addressed a press conference that went viral.
Naturally, Nigerians looked on the perfumed Fulani in the town to rein in their lunatic kinsmen in the bush. After all, one Fulani fellow (names withheld), on being sworn into power in 2015, told everybody that he “belonged to nobody but to everybody…”
But the madness has persisted till date.
Now, the bandits, most of them herdsmen, kill every day…
(Just yesterday in formerly peaceful Plateau State, 11 persons hoping to celebrate New Year were slaughtered by Fulani terrorists.)
Why?

It is because there is a far more dangerous version of Fulani lunatics outside the bush. Educated, polished, even dabbed in the best perfumes, neither Cambridge nor Oxford has cured this version of its insanity. And worse, they occupy high government and non-government positions.
Insanity has its distinctive stench, and a Pacific of perfumes cannot obliterate it out.
But first, a little digression.
I was at a function in Sokoto, the seat of the Caliphate. We guests in the expansive hall were having a rollicking time, all the tables were decked with a surplus of delicacies and juices — cool music was in the background. It was a miniature Paradise…
Suddenly, on one of the tables, a man in babanriga, reared up and, encircling the table as far as his arms could reach, dragged all the items on the table — juices, food plates and all, to himself.
At first, other guests were just aghast. But, seeing the tell-tale gleam in his eyeballs, something else dawned on them all, and the guests scrambled to leave the table…
“Mahaukaci, mahaukaci” many muttered as they scattered. It wasn’t until later that I understood “mahaukaci”.
But the “mahaukaci” was not silent.
Amidst the mouthfuls he was stuffing in his mouth with both hands, he kept screeching after those fleeing his madness …accusing them of “causing disunity in a peaceful hall…”
Mahaukaci cut quite a pathetic spectacle, what with blotches of oil and spilled juice all over his babanriga; but he didn’t appear to realize or care.

Keep that story in a corner of your mind…

All the big money earners and the big money spenders are in the clutches of the perfumed Fulani. In fact, over 80% of all key government positions in Nigeria have been dragged to the Fulani side of the table.
Do the calculation: 80% of 500 is 400. There are at least 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria.
It is like one person grabbing for himself 400 out of 500 items meant for 250 persons!
That is “haukaci”…
Even guests at that Sokoto event, the seat of the Caliphate, recognized “haukaci” on a small scale of a table.
Don’t they recognize the far more terrible “haukaci” on the larger Nigerian scale?
Why then has none of them spoken up?
That silence in itself is “haukaci”.
Not only the rampaging bush versions of Fulani are insane; many of the heavily perfumed ones in the corridors of power are just as demented.- And they have infiltrated Aso Rock!

And their number is substantial enough to determine government actions and policies.
I know, many sane Fulani are embarrassed to hell by this. But they dare not raise their voices?
Any race where the voices of the insane drowns out those of the sane is headed for perdition.
Virtually, everything, every policy, every action from Aso Rock betrays a working alliance between the Fulani lunatics in the bush and the perfumed ones in the corridors of power.
Sane men don’t collaborate with lunatics.
Until yesterday when this piece was nearing completion, the perfumed version had refused to declare the bush lunatics by their right name: “Terrorists”.
Why?
The same regime that was quick to brand the IPOB “terrorist” nearly five years ago even when the latter had not fired a shot, refused to brand as “terrorists” the rampaging Fulani bandits who have kidnapped and shot more juvenile school children and teenagers than Boko Haram. And have raped, maimed, burned and slaughtered more Nigerians than ISWAP and Boko Haram put together.

The Global Terrorism Index (GTI) has long branded killer herdsmen (a.k.a bandits) the fourth most vicious in the whole world.
Only “haukaci” did not recognize them for what they are…
Aso Rock and other Fulani powers, through policies and actions, have been brazenly supporting, defending, excusing and even aiding the atrocities of the bush lunatics: RUGA, grazing routes, water bill etc.
And it has carefully appointed Fulani “security Chiefs” and Inspectors general of police in the past six years who have treated their lunatic kinsmen with kid gloves allowing them to wax stronger and stronger in their brazen insanity. At least one IG openly ignored/flouted “presidential” orders to “go after killer herdsmen”.
Haukaci…

In 2017, Miyetti Allah, one of the lunatic organisations openly threatened to attack Benue people over the anti-grazing law in that state.

The Fulani government did nothing to forestall the attack or stop it. On New Year Eve, December 31, 2017, lunatic herdsmen swooped on Benue citizens returning from church service joyfully, believing they had survived the old year. Over 75 persons, were slaughtered, including women and children. It was a lunatic New Year gift, madly timed.

The whole world was horrified. Condolences poured in from all over the world. The footages were so bloody some social media platforms refused to publish the pictures…
But as Benue people buried their loved ones, what did the perfumed lunatics do?
Led by El Rufai of “body bag” fame, several northern governors trooped to Buhari in Aso Rock on “solidarity visit”. They beamed into the camera in celebration. They commended the Fulani president for a “job well done” and told him he had earned their support for a second term in office.

It was a brazen demonstration of the dominant Fulani spirit. Again, no sane Fulani voice was raised in reprimand.
Another sample. After open threats to the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, by Miyetti Allah and other Fulani elements over the anti-grazing law in the state, an attempt was made on the governor’s life. Gunmen attacked the governor’s convoy in his own state.
While Fulani elements were naturally suspected, a group that goes by the name Fulani Nationality Movement (FUNAM) came out boldly to claim responsibility for the attack. It blamed logistics for the governor’s escape. And openly expressed hope that next time, it would succeed in the assassination of a sitting governor. FUNAM was confident of its tacit licence to kill.

And true, no sanction came from the Fulani government.
Haukaci…
And no sane voice in the Fulani regime was heard raised against the group.

All the while Fulani bandits were raping, kidnapping and slaughtering Oke Ogun people in Oyo State, Aso Rock played deaf and dumb. Even when an indigene who came home from the United Kingdom, to establish a farming business, Dr Fatai Aborode, was killed by Fulani lunatics on December 11, 2020, Aso Rock did nothing.

But when collaborators of the killers, Wakil and the Fulani traditional leader in Igangan, Salihu Umar, were confronted, the perfumed lunatics of Aso Rock roused to action.

Malami and Garba Shehu were vociferous in defending the rights of the accused to reside anywhere in Nigeria— despite criminal activities..
Those who arrested Wakil were arrested and jailed…
Then in June 2021, Igangan Town came under attack by the bush version of Fulani lunatics. About 20 persons were killed. One of the casualties was a baby held by his disconsolate father – the baby was burnt…
Reacting, rights activist, Femi Falana disclosed that security reports of an impending attack on Igangan were ignored by Police authorities.
Lately, Abolongo Prison in Oyo town, where Wakil, is suspected to have been kept was attacked by “unknown gunmen” and hundreds of prisoners freed. Hundreds are still “missing”. Since then, prison authorities have been evasive in on the whereabouts of Wakil.
Have the Fulani freed their terrorist?
Of course, every crime of the Fulani terrorist that goes unpunished emboldens them to commit worse crimes. It has been so for six years.
Don’t be fooled by the empty lamentations of the perfumed Fulani in Aso Rock and elsewhere, the pervasive insecurity nationwide is mainly fuelled by known perfumed Fulani. All the frantic meetings and conferences on insecurity are mere “play acting” or just another means of lining pockets.

As a former member of the nation’s military intelligence, Commodore Kunle Olawunmi, disclosed in that interview, governors, senators, officials in this regime are behind the lingering insecurity. But this regime refuses to name them.
“I can’t come on air and start mentioning names of people that are presently in government that the boys we arrested mentioned,” he said…
“Some of them are governors now. Some of them are in the Senate. Some of them are in Aso Rock,” Olawunmi said.
The late Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Obadiah Mailafia, said as much. A serving governor, he disclosed, was named by bandits, as one of the commanders of Boko Haram.

In short, the lingering insecurity is government-sponsored.

Other symptoms of stark insanity abound in this regime. While many of the Fulani fellows holding unmerited key positions are compulsively plundering the country in billions, even trillions, what passes for the central government is engaged in maniacal profligacy and maniacal borrowing. Borrowing to loot and squander…

While the perfumed Fulani are doing this, the bush ones are also doing their own thing: raking in billions in ransoms. As the bush ones are taking over communities, the perfumed ones are taking over government positions.
They are two sides of the same lunatic coin.
The country’s debt has been run up to an unprecedented N44.5 trillion. Yet the roads remain deplorable, functional hospitals remain rare and stable power remains elusive.
Amidst all the needless hardship, the regime is building rail roads to, and refinery in Niger Republic—while the ones at home are moribund.
Haukaci…

It is really Plunder, Massacre and Banditry…
Even the military has been compromised and weakened. At least a section, if not all of the military works for Fulani interest. And it seems too powerful to be questioned — or sanctioned.
In 2017, two Nigeria Army trucks materialized in the Igbo community of Ugwuleshi, Enugu State. Seventy-six farmers, all male, protesting harassment by killer herdsmen were herded into the trucks by men in military fatigue and transported all the way to Abia State and handed over to the Abia State Police. They were arraigned the following day.
All were pronounced guilty and jailed.

Following nationwide protests, all the 76 were released. Till today, the army denies any involvement in the episode. Till date, Abia Police insists the farmers were handed to them by the military.
So who in the Army deployed Nigerian Army personnel and Army trucks to defend the interest of Fulani bandits?

Till today, the army has not made public its findings if at all it bothered to investigate. Till today it has not cleared itself of the allegation of being officially pro-Fulani. How can a truly “federal” military care so little about its reputation?

Now, many army equipment continue to find their ways into the hands of bandits and kidnappers.
How?
On March 13, 2021, the House of Representatives ad-hoc committee headed by Olaide Akinremi asked the Chief of Army Staff, Major Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, to explain how military weapons got to bandits. This followed the allegation by the National Security Adviser, (NSA) Mohammed Babagana Monguno, in a BBC Hausa programme that former Service Chiefs could not account for billions voted for arms purchase.

What has become of that allegation and that investigation?

Fulani bandits and their sympathisers have infiltrated the military. Now, they leak military secrets to enemies. The Fulani regime has in fact, talked openly of absorbing “repentant” bandits into the army, thus exposing our gallant troops to needless danger.

Now Nigerian soldiers are slaughtered virtually every day.
Findings on Lekki Shooting clearly show premeditated murder. The lights were carefully removed preparatory to the shooting. Nine shot dead. Four missing. The Nigerian youths were waving the Nigerian Flag when what passes for the “Nigerian Military” opened fire on them — exactly what Fulani bandits will do. Or Boko Haram. Or ISWAP.

If that is not insanity, what is it?
Even as you read this, many communities in Benue, Taraba, Sokoto, Zamfara etc, have been taken over by Fulani herdsmen after driving out or killing off the rightful owners who are now kept in IDP camps — as refugees in their own country.
Must sanity be so helpless in the face of brazen insanity?

True, there are lunatics in all tribes in Nigeria. Yoruba lunatics, Efik Lunatics, Igbira lunatics, Hausa lunatics, Birom lunatics, Agatu lunatics, Ibiobio lunatics, Igbo lunatics, Irohobo lunatics, Tivi lunatics, Ijaw lunatics etc.
How come that Fulani lunatics are the most numerous and most unruly. Why has the Fulani lunatic acquired such notorious distinction?
It is because while other Nigerian tribes strive to keep their lunatic populations low, under control and out of public eye (away in mental asylums) , the Fulani do the opposite.
They breed lunatics as assets to unleash on other peoples; then push them up into positions of power.
Of course, when insanity is bred, nurtured and pampered in a population, it festers… and explodes.

It is these lunatics in high places who are committing a myriad of heinous crimes against the Nigerian state every day. They should be the ones fleeing, with Nigerians in hot pursuit. Ironically, it is the perfumed lunatics who are now hounding sane Nigerians all about…
Should news seep out today that a sizeable number of perfumed Fulani lunatics, by way of penitence, have decided to plunge into the River Niger without life jackets, it would at least be some sign of redeemability. Unfortunately, we’ll have to stop them because suicide, by Nigerian law, is illegal.

Brave, sane ones like Aminu Masari take great risk by openly admitting their racial tragedy. The poor governor admitted in the interview that his kinsmen will be unhappy about his revelations. And true to type. Miyetti Allah attacked him, calling him “drunkard”.
Evidence of ill-breeding among the perfumed Fulani is rampant.

The Code of Conduct Tribunal Chairman, Justice Danladi Umar, saw nothing amiss in public gross misconduct. On March, 30, 2021, he assaulted a security man, Clement Sargwak, at Banex Plaza, Wuse, Abuja.

Another senator, suspiciously Fulani, Ishaku Elisha Abbo, from Adamawa State, on May 11, 2019, saw nothing unsenatorial in assaulting a married woman at a supermarket. El Rufai’s son, Bello, threatened on social media to gang-rape another fellow’s mother … His poor mother quickly apologized on behalf of the brat.

Fact is, sane Fulani are ashamed over the crimes of their kinsmen. But many of them are too scared to speak up. Aisha Buhari tried. She has been silenced. Or has she?
Truly sane Nigerians should not look on passively while lunatics run amock.
At the very conservative estimate of 30 Nigerians kidnapped, maimed or killed by Fulani lunatics per day, between now and February 2023, 12,630 {30 x (365+28+28+28)} more Nigerians would have been slaughtered by Fulani terrorists.
So, even 2023 is too far away…
Flushing lunatics out of a nation’s seat of power is patriotic duty. Only lunatics will dispute that.
Of course, the inmates of Aso Rock and others outside may rage and foam in the mouth at this submission.

Is the Fulani problem in their genes? Frankly, that requires genetic test.
But even if yes, genes only incline; they don’t compel. We are all products of Nature and nurture.
Some environments discourage/inhibit the expression of some genes. For instance, hardly any genetically inclined pick-pocket will pick any pocket when he knows that a loaded gun is held to his head…
On the contrary, the environment of impunity provided the Fulani by the current regime is so conducive to the expression of the gene of insanity that even those Fulani without the genetic inclination acquire it – and express it.
Watch them mouthing ideals, big dreams so as to appear sane; they don’t have the character to achieve it. Because they are lunatics.
Such spectacles are not uncommon in asylums where mentally challenged midgets drape themselves in the gowns of giants…
Why won’t they run Nigeria aground as they are doing now?
Lunatics have no business in governance.
Life is now hell for the average Nigerian. Satisfying the basics of life, food, shelter, has become herculean. Ordinary cooking gas has more than tripled in price in a country that flares gas every minute.
Now, they are out with a lunatic plan to worsen the hardship with another astronomical hike in fuel prices.

Yet, the perfumed lunatics still prance around…like anthropoids amidst wrecked china…
Let the Fulani population ( including those holding government positions)go into voluntary isolation for at least six months during which they will undergo intensive psychotherapy.
The success of the therapy will subsequently be gauged by how the returnees handle and relate to their kinsmen in the bush.
