Stop Fulani ethnic militia or break up Nigeria by Michael Owhoko - Commentary@ITREALMS

For how long shall the rest of the country look on while Fulani ethnic militia trouble the peace of Nigeria? Why are Fulani terror groups spreading fear, causing pains and inflicting psychological trauma on Nigerians through deliberate, calculated and organised acts of kidnapping, torture, rape and killings? What exactly do they want, and for how long will Nigeria endure this malevolence? Nigeria’s current despicable image as fifth-most-violent country in the world, is largely due to this jihadist voyage.

Of over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria, why is the Fulani the only tribe that has chosen this nefarious and cold-hearted path of violating rights of fellow citizens with impunity? If all other ethnic groups resolved to embark on similar acts of violence, will the country be safe and conducive for them to live in? Or do they think they have exclusive capacity for violence? Who will call them and their sponsors to order? Painfully, all other ethnic groups had been in existence in Nigeria before the advent of Fulani in 1800.
