Dear Fulani leaders:
Would you tolerate it if either IGBOS or YORUBAS infiltrate your region and launch constant kidnapping raids on your men, women and children? Or even destroy your farms, maiming and killing your people, all in the name of herding cattle or other avocation?
Well, I don’t think you would tolerate it, going by your antecedents. You may even go further to heap a collective blame on the entire Igbo or Yoruba race and accuse them of some sinister ethnic agenda/plot reminiscent of the false flags of 1966.
To tell you the truth, these organized acts of kidnapping and other forms of violence cascading across Southern Nigeria and traceable to Fulanis have reached a point where the entire South is feeling that your studied silence when these things happen is no longer golden.
Does it mean that you’re lacking in basic compatriot spirit or worse? Are you silently in agreement with Sheik Gumi (a Fulani leader) who openly makes excuses for these vile acts and makes no secret of condoning them?
Why can’t Fulani leaders speak up now and condemn what Sheik Gumi is saying and dissociate the mainstream Fulani race from the mayhem being committed by these fringe criminal elements amongst you?
Think about this and speak out now. There is immense power in words.
