Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - VC begs Nigerian govt for relocation of herdsmen, cattle from UNIABUJA campus [ Fulani Colonization Crisis in Nigeria ]


Gloria:

May your tribe increase!   Sometimes, some of my compatriots write and talk like racists, as they epithetically "adjectivize" people carrying out normal business that they are known with their ethnicity:  "Fulani herdsmen", "Igbo traders", "Ijaw fishermen",  "Niger-Delta militants", "Awusa beggars", etcheram, adnauseum, 

And these "Fulani herdsmen":  Who would buy their cows and beef afterwards if they really KILLED off all the people along their paths?  I have asked whether they carry guns  (1) for protection while traveling and intimidating land owners in order to graze  (2)  for revenge and/or  (3) for permanent land grabbing?  Should it not just be easy for affected states to BAN all purchase of grazed cows?

And so on......

Finally, really the racism masquerading as ethnicism and masquerading as some kind of social concern must stop.  In solving one problem, we are simply creating others.

And there you have it.

This is not about Fulani colonization.

This is simply about the realities of  nomadic pastoralism in the past and present.

Work on converting nomadic pastoralists to sedentary ones. That is the challenge. 


What do you have against the Fulanis, Toyin. 

It's Fulani this and Fulani that. .......
