A perennial stream that serves hundreds of thousands of villagers as their only
source of drinking water in the Yandev/Mbayer area of Guma local govt
area, Benue state-central Nigeria, is
now shared between the people and herds of cattle belonging to heavily-armed nomadic Fulani herdsmen from north of the country. A desert scenario has already
emerged in most parts of the area, with cow dungs floating in endlessly
downstream.

From supposedly educated kinsmen of a group that is visiting mayhem on farmers in Nigeria:
1. Prof Ango Abdullahi: "Nobody can stop Fulani herdsmen from accessing other parts of Nigeria.
http://dailypost.ng/…/nobody-can-stop-fulani-herdsmen-from…/
2. Alhaji Sale Bayari: "A leader of the Fulani ethnic group has provided a detailed insight into why his people attacked the Agatu people of Benue, sacking several communities and killing hundreds.
In an exclusive interview with PREMIUM TIMES, Saleh Bayeri, the Interim National Secretary of Gan Allah Fulani Association, rose in defence of his kinsmen, saying the February bloody conflict in Benue was a reprisal attack by his people against the Agatus who he accused of killing, in 2013, a prominent Fulani man.
Gan Allah Fulani Association is an umbrella body of Fulani associations in Nigeria.
Mr. Bayeri said the killing of the man reverberated amongst every Fulani in West Africa.
He insisted that the Agatu farmers were aggressors shedding crocodile tears, and wondered why former Senate President, David Mark, was only just realising the meaning of genocide...."

Educated Fulanis in Nigeria are the real culprits in these killings by Fulani herdsmen:
As long as educated Fulanis continue to use their illiterate kinsmen as
tools for their expansionist agenda by rejecting the ranch system and
encouraging the herdsmen to remain in the bush with cows, every crop
farmer will eventually become an enemy of fulani herdsmen, and by
implication all Fulanis.
Fulani elites in Nigeria have "upgraded" the age-long propensity of Fula people for dominance into cunning sadism in which they smilingly sacrifice their own kinsmen for goals that they know are impossible to achieve or sustain in this 21st century. Their children and close relatives are sent to schools to qualify for modern leadership positions in the townships, while the rest are fed with supremacist theories and used as canon folders for territorial expansion in the wilds. You can't see the children of their hundreds of professors or of even those who completed just secondary school roaming with cattle in the bush. This is wickedness without boundary!
Educated Fulanis know the economic benefits of the ranch system; and they have for long ruled this country and influenced the establishment of many industries in their part of the country. Why then have they not deemed it fit to use their positions to influence the establishment of ranches for their cattle in their own areas as they have done with dams and many other federally-funded projects? They have more than enough land, manpower,veterinary doctors and other professionals in that field. To prove that they are the architects of these killings, they refused to touch the 100billion naira set aside by the previous govt as funds for cattle owners to access and build their own ranches. Instead, they were asking the states to use the money to build ranches/grazing reserves for them across the country. There were none of these illiterate herdsmen roaming with cattle on that negotiation table, they were all educated Fulanis! Are they aware that civilised nations the world over no longer practice open grazing of cattle? Yes they know!
Fellow Nigerians, judge for yourselves who are the real culprits in this mindless mass-killing of our farmers by the so-called Fulani herdsmen.

President Buhari's govt remains silent as Fulani herdsmen continue to attack farming communities.
At least 10 people have been killed and several houses burnt
in fresh violence that erupted on Tuesday in Taraba State North Eastern
Nigeria, witnesses say.
But police said six people died in the clashes between the Fulani and Mummuye ethnic groups in Lau Local Government area of the state.
Since last Friday, there have been pockets of violence and reprisal attacks in some communities in the area.
Between Friday and Saturday, eight persons were reportedly killed during communal clashes between the Mummuye and the Fulani communities of Lushi, Sakuwa, Hore Ladde and Garin Dogo.
The latest killings and destruction of properties, including farmlands and domestic animals, is coming barely a week after the state governor, Darius Ishaku, was quoted in the media as urging Christians across the country to rise up and defend themselves against terrorists before they are annihilated.
The governor made the call in Jalingo during a thanksgiving service organised by the Christians Association of Nigeria (CAN) to celebrate new year and to pray for victims of Southern Kaduna massacre and other victims of terrorism across the country said.
‘’The people must wake up from their slumber and defend themselves. You can’t just lie down and allow yourselves to be annihilated by other groups. You have a constitutional right to self-defense and now is the time to use it. The government alone cannot do it,” he was quoted as saying.
Locals say Tuesday’s violence started around 2 a.m. when a village, named Bonja, and Mayo-Kunga belonging to Fulani ethnic group, was attacked by suspected Mummuye youth.
The attack on the Mayo-Kunga village led to reprisals attacks on neighbouring communities.
The Police Public Relations Officer for Taraba State, David Misal, said only six people were killed in the conflict.
“Since the Friday attack between the Fulani herdsmen and Mummuye farmers in Lushi, there have been reprisal attacks.
‘’For now six persons were confirmed killed on both sides while several others have been arrested,” the PPRO said.
Mr. Misal, an Assistant superintendent of police, also confirmed that 80 houses had been torched.
