Editorial: Chief Falae and the Fulani Bogey
By adminadmin on September 27, 2015


On February 27, 1933 the German Reichstag(German Parliament) was burnt and even though a communist partisan was charged with the crime and sentenced to death, the Nazi Party blamed the entire world wide communist movement for the act and created the bogey of Communist take-over of Germany as the basis for its own absolute hold on power and this singular effort subsequently led to the destruction of the Communist party as well as the rise and dominance of the Nazis with all of its implications for the rest of the world.
Afenifere and its associates, having made a bogey of the Fulani, have attempted to place the recent kidnapping of Chief Olu Falae, one of its leaders, within the context of their anti-Fulani rhetoric. Afenifere had earlier made the anti-Fulani narrative its political showpiece in an attempt to coral Yoruba votes for Goodluck Jonathan, hence situated the 2015 presidential election within an anti-Fulani, anti-North paradigm, even as it is on record that the same Afenifere supported and promoted Buhari’s 2007 and 2011 presidential runs, regardless of Buhari’s Fulaniness. This transformation from a pro-Fulani(Buhari) to its opposite within a space of four years came without any significant change in Buhari’s persona or political views, so much so that making anti-Fulani its mantra is the stuff of political opportunism at its highest. The organization wasted no time in concluding that Chief Falae’s kidnappers were Fulani herdsmen intent on
destroying not only the chief’s farmland but also advance their long-standing ravaging of farmlands.
There is thus a need for the Yoruba Nation to be circumspect in the emerging narrative lest we be corralled into a fruitless political endeavor unwittingly allowing unfriendly interests to have political control of our land.
While it is historically true that Fulani herdsmen embark on forcible use of farmlands, “ooduapathfinder” says that the modus operandi of these herdsmen has not, so far, involved kidnapping-for-ransom. They have maimed, raped and killed in the process of grazing their cattle but have not engaged in kidnapping-for-ransom. The matter is not helped by Chief Falae himself, who, according to his published statements, tended to allege the kidnappers as “Boko Haram”; that is, “Northerners” and by implication and following Afenifere’s logic, Fulani, simply on the reference to the terrorist group by one of kidnappers.
“ooduapathfinder” believes that Chief Olu Falae is capable of knowing a Fulani when he sees one; just as he ought to know, given his very extensive participation in Nigeria’s governance at the highest levels, that a casual reference to any organization by a kidnapper or criminal does not necessarily translate into the criminal belonging to such an organization.
Yet, we all know that the Niger Delta “militants” specialize in kidnapping-for-ransom; and they still operate in that mode, even after their amnesty program. Coupled with this is the fact that the Ijaw “militants” have not only threatened Yorubaland preparatory to the 2015 presidential elections, they have also been active in the Ondo axis, especially in the riverine areas which they lay claim to while an attempt was made, during Jonathan’s Conference, to carve that portion out of the present Ondo State as a state on its own. “ooduapathfinder” believes that Chief Olu Falae’s experience lie between these two possibilities.
The reference to the Nazi paradigm is to alert us to the reality of using a bogey to neutralize an opponent while establishing a different order. So, what would Afenifere gain by flip-flopping on Buhari when it is not only not in power but also not in contention for it? The only answer would be an effort to make Yorubaland a “no man’s land”, make the land lay prostrate for any taker; a case of cutting one’s nose to spite one’s face; its ultimate expression of political degeneracy.
In this process, it has embarked on all sorts of political somersaults, primary of which is its insistence on the recommendations of the Jonathan Conference. Yet, when Afeinfere gets on its anti-Fulani, anti-North bogey-wagon, it fails to acknowledge the reality of the National Question in the North itself. The NE zone actively participated in the same Jonathan Conference; yet many of its representatives have now agreed that the conference was a sham and would not remotely address their own issues hence called for a fresh Conference to specifically address their problems. The difference between the aspirations of the NE and what Afenifere is selling is as clear as daylight. What then would be the difference between the two if not that the NE is very concrete about its own problems hence sure of its solution in not being subservient to a Jonathanian adventurism while the Afenifere would prefer continuous subjugation under what would have amounted to a
more centralized State were Jonathan to get away with his Conference recommendations?
Granted that historically, the Fulani had exhibited and perfected the assimilationist tendency which allowed its aristocracy to accommodate non-Fulani in its power structures, primary examples being the likes of Sunday Awoniyi and Adamu Ciroma in the first republic, it is also historically proven that both the then Middle Belt represented by UMBC and the NE via the Borno Youth Movement were not shy from displaying their autonomist tendencies which allowed for their alliance with the Action Group, the foremost party advocating for a true Federal State at the time. Befuddling the political space with the “Northern” or Fulani bogey is therefore not only a-historical but also anti-Federal.
The implication of all these would be an alienation of the Peoples of Nigeria not only from themselves but also from each other such that the only beneficiary would the central state structure which would be able to manipulate the peoples to its own advantage hence creating its own assimilationist mechanism. Thus, the Peoples self-expression would be folded into a “Northern” and “Southern” paradigm aimed at neutralizing even such current demands of the NE for a development rethink on a country-wide level.
Aside from all of the above, it is common knowledge that Fulani herdsmen trample on farmlands at will, without any existing State apparatus able to do anything about it which also calls into question the necessity and/or viability of such State structures. Within the context of this kidnap therefore, Afenifere and its associates have not done any favors to the grazing problem, which, paradoxically, the NE call for a developmental Conference for its zone must necessarily address. That Afenifere would fail to see the connection and simply resort to an anti-North, anti-Fulani alarmist mode would show its complete political inadequacy while pretending to advocate its own version of “Yoruba interest” which is at variance with the general interest the Yoruba have always demanded.
Even if limited to a contradiction between the herdsmen and farmers like Chief Olu Falae, a non-opportunistic approach would not fail to see the solution to this contradiction residing in the resolution of the National Question, where, leaving aside the criminal nature of the kidnap, which itself is a function of the limitations of the post colonial Nation State, grazing issues go beyond Nigeria borders; hence a clear roadmap towards resolving it ought to have been the major issue of the day, rather than the bogey of the “North” or the Fulani. Once again, the NE call for a fresh Conference provided the impetus where such could be addressed; for if Afenifere would be true to history, it would note the fact of the establishment of farm settlements in the Western Region where some were set up as cattle ranches, hence if today’s grazing issues were to be addressed, it would have to take into consideration the possibilities of other Regions in Nigeria
establishing such ranches for its own cattle development which will in turn directly translate into relationships between nomadic and sedentary production of cattle.
The beauty of the NE call is in the fact that her own people will make their own decisions rather than an amorphous group which had always been the case with previous conferences. This initiative by the NE ought to have been the recommended template for other Regions/Zones which would ultimately lead to some sort of negotiations between the zones for a new Grundnorm for our mutual existence. Afenifere lacked the capacity and the courage to take this step, unlike the NE, who, even after being part of the Jonathan Conference, rejected it and promoted an alternative.

These Afenifere people are not as smart
and their suggestion appears to lend credence to
what Afis
Odidere earlier stated that Chief Olu Falae stage-managed
his own kidnapping  or the entire allegation is a hoax
. Why
should it be Falae's case - which does not establish any
reasonable nexus  between the circumstances that led to
Fulani cattle eating his crops,which he received
compensation for - and his recent
kidnapping by an unknown group?  We all know that Fulani
cattle rearing business in Yoruba land predates the colonial
rule when all Yoruba men and women alive today were not
born, why
should an unclear case of kidnapping of Olu Falae lead to
severance of the agelong relationship between the two ethnic
groups?  Let's even assume
that their allegation that Falae was kidnapped by Fulani is
true, what sanction.awaits Yoruba, Igbo, Ibibio, Kanuri, Edo
kidnappers ? Who are the Afenifere
group (that was mercilessly defeated in the last general
elections ) to decide for the entire Yoruba race ? Are they
bad losers ? Are they not a minority group in Yoruba land
now ? If they truly believe in democracy, why can't they
support the decision of the majority ? Is it not safe for one
to conclude that the Afenifere  group engineered the
kidnapping of Olu Falae with a view to creating disunity
between the various ethnic groups in the country
?

Hmmmmm.
I have a
feeling that some of these people had already been sent to
the Emirs to thank them for their Fulani not killing Olu
Falae.
This same
people will go to Buhari and ElRufai to tell him that they
did not mean their public position. That is was taken to
make them not to look weak before the other southerners.

Lets see
how they bare gong to do this when The Asiwaju is afraid of

Afenifere calls for
stoppage of Fulani cattle rearing activities in
Yorubalandon  September 29, 2015    /   in News 6:02

Johnson AkureAFENIFERE,
a Pan-Yoruba Socio Political group yesterday rose from an
emergency meeting in Akure, the Ondo state capital and
called for the stoppage of cattle rearing activities in the
south West states following the menace of Fulani
herdsmen.The
group said that the activities of the fulani herdsmen in the
states have endangered the lives of the people.Spokesman
of the group, Yinka Odumakin said that their activities
‎should be stopped in” every space of Yorubaland just as
he called for those the arrest of those who abducted a
Chieftain of the group Chief Olu Falae.Odumakin
declared that ” In the event this call is not yielded then
our people may result to self help to protect
themselves.The meeting
last over six hours and it was chaired by its National
Chairman, Pa Reuben Fasoranti at his Country home in
Akure.They
group described the attack and abduction of one of its
leaders who was the former Secretary to the Government of
the Federation SGF, Chief Olu Falae as an insult on the
race.‎A
Communique read to newsmen by Odumakin said “We demand
that nomadic cattle rearing should be stopped in every state
of Yoruba land.“We
believe now that after what has happened to chief Falae,
people would not tolerate such thing in any part of Yoruba
land .“So
while we await the arrest of the criminals, the cattle
rearing should be stop in Yoruba land.“Yoruba
people go to any part of the country to trade,no history or
record of such anywhere that the Yorubas destroy the
business of their host. What we cannot do to others, nobody
should do it to us.Odumakin
said that the meeting” decried insecurity in the country
as relate to the unrelenting blood letting by the terrorist
Boko Haram and the wave of unchecked kidnapping going on in
the country.“A
special focus was beam on the recent abduction of one of our
revered leader in Afenifere,Chief Olu Falae, also a former
secretary to the government of the federation and former
presidential candidates,while on his farm.“We
describe this as scandalous and chilling that the harrowing
experience of the 77 year old man in the hands of
vandals,miscreants.“The
Meeting did not considers it as a mere coincidence that
chief Olu Falae for two to three years has been having
running battles with the Fulani herdsmen on the very farm
before he was abducted.“Last
of such was about two months earlier when they enter his
farmland and destroyed it and chief Falae pursue the matter
with the police and grudgingly accepted half of what the
police said they should pay as compensation.“The
fulani elements coming to abduct him two months latter, is
presumably a vengeance mission for justice that he pursued
against the invasion of his farm and the destruction of his
hand work.”
The meeting recalled that for years, farmers in Yoruba land
has been expressing what chief Falae was going through in
the hands of this nomadic cattle rearers“.
You will recalled that in year 2000 in Oke Ogun area of Oyo
state, the fulani herdsmen and farmers had a major clash
which led to a strong delegation from Arewa consultative
forum to storm the office of the office of the then Governor
Lam Adesina in a rowdy and angry manner on behalf of fulani
.“The
meeting also noted that the 2014 national conference in
which chief Falae led the Yoruba delegation ,extensively
discuss this matter of nomadic cattle rearing and the
conference resolved the it should be stopped and instead
have ranches for cattle business.“We
condemned the abduction of Chief olu Falae and his gruesome
experience as shameful, insensitive and a violent violation
of Yoruba culture, values and space.Afenifere calls for
stoppage of Fulani cattle rearing activities in Yorubaland -

My People:

If the report is TRUE - and I don't believe it until it is re-confirmed -  that Afenifere is calling for stoppage of Fulani cattle rearing in Yorubaland because of the recent kidnapping of Chief Olu Falae allegedly by Fulani herdsmen, then it is a most unwise call, and unbecoming of such a distinguished gathering of Yoruba individuals.

Rather, they should be calling for INTENSIFIED action AGAINST kidnapping in general all over the country, because such a dastardly event has hit too close to home for them.

The other day - in 2013 - an equally distinguished Northern politician/elder statesman Ali Monguno was kidnapped on May 3, 2013, and released three days later: who should have been stopped then? Sure, the BH that allegedly kidnapped him, and got some ransom payment.   Madame Okonjo (NOI's mother), was also kidnapped (December 2012; freed five days later), Prof. Ilemoboade (June 2015; found dead)  too by their servants, none of who was a Fulani herdsman etc.  Should servants now be banned?

I believe that this report is being touted to make the Afenifere look smal.  But if it is true, then Afenifere is making itself look small, and it would appear is smarting from some recent political bloodied nose.

Moving on...

The best way to stop Fulani cattle rearing in Yorubaland is to:

  (1)  stop eating beef in Yorubaland

  (2)  create grazing land and cow-markets in Yorubaland

  (3)  have an integrated railway system in Yorubaland, with grazing land and the cow-markets near key railway stations.

  (4)  double-up on education for the masses

The best way to stop kidnapping in Nigeria is to:

  (1)  double-up on expenditure on education and social services in Nigeria

  (2)  speed up the idea of community policing, which would involve doubling or tripling police population

  (3)  stop paying ransom on kidnapped victims; unfortunately some may die in the process

  (4)  give mandatory life-sentences to kidnappers, after trying them PUBLICLY.   (5)  Although I don't support the death penalty, I would keep quiet if a kidnap victim died in the hands of a kidnapper on which a death penalty is imposed.

And there you have it.

Bolaji:

I concur with each and everyone of your recommendations
 your recommendations on both
issues.

The only amendment that I would suggest
is this one:

Some criminals deserve the death penalty especially
in circumstances where their trials have been found
to be free and fair and they have either exhausted their
appeals or when they confess to the heinous crimes
committed.
Criminals like Shekau and all of his BH goonsdeserve to be lined
up Bar Beach and shot to death by a firing squad
for the the crimes they have commuted against
humanity.

Why spend scarce resources keeping half human- half animals in prison
until they die?

Bye,

Ola

I agree with the "speed up" on governance, however Buhari, President NoCertificate (ignorant) does not know what "speed up" governance means. As evidence, the president's cabinet is NOT in place, in spite of Buhari's promises. Wow! More kidnapping and assassinations to follow due to lack of social and economic progress since FeBuhari. 

Lord have mercy! Iguade ("pray for me")

No !!!

Are you or any one of your relatives a  land thief?

The word out there is that the problem with your folks
in Ijebu Igbo is not about stealing which could be managed
with serial jail terms, but rather familial psychosis-a serious mental disorder
that is often a challenge to manage for mental health professionals.

You should also have yourself checked out as you display the classic symtoms
of the Tourette syndrome including uncontrollable tics and the involuntary urges
to throw abuse words at innocent individuals including your superiors and those who are old enough
to have been your tutor or professor --that is if you ever stepped
on to the campus of an academic institution beyond a community college.

Considering you have now received the attention you crave from
me, you are now released from detention. You can now crawl back to your bedroom
where you can resume sucking your thumb.

Bye.

Afenifere's call is in order in my view, the only thing I will add to it is extending the ban to the entire nation. Any open minded Nigerian will recognize the menace and dangers of turning the whole country into Fulani cattle grazing ground. There are two problems here one is the menace caused by the Fulani Cattle Herdsmen and the second is the increasing radicalization of the herdsmen who may be realizing that they can make so much more money by kidnapping people and asking for ransom.

 In this instance Afenifere is speaking about the Fulani herdsmen problem which as we can see in the case of chief Olu Falae the demarcation line between the two problems are increasingly obscured, hence cattle herdsmen are linked to criminal activity albeit kidnapping. Some people have also suspected that there may be a link between the herdsmen and fundamentalist elements such as Boko Haram

It is only in a lawless country that cattle herdsmen are allowed to decimate properties and individual farmlands and the government is silent over the matter. The Nigerian House and Senate could take up a bill under interstate commerce to regulate this serious problem. The states could also ban such practice on their territory. But will the government act? Your guess is as good as mine!

Fulani herds men should operate their cattle rearing in their farmlands up North and feed their cattle with hay as it is done in industrialized nations such as here in the United States. Cattle should be moved in trailers and railways throughout the country. I was once travelling on a four lane highway in Nigeria and ran into hundreds of cattle and their herdsmen walking their herds on the freeway. I shook my head in disbelief. There is nothing anybody could do but crawl behind the cattlemen and their herds until they  cleared away from the highway. What a lawless nation! 

Those are my views, yours always welcome!

Afenifeya group led by Olu Falae planned the old fart's kidnapping. This is a strategical operation by these Old Farts.

They know they are fading politically, after placing all their faith and bets on Goodluck Badluck Jonathan.....The Spineless, Spunkless Horse. 

The Afenifeya Group's plan was to arouse sympathy for the Olu Falae, that if the Ondo people could start a riot by killing Fulani and Hausa among them, the riots may turn into war all over Yorubaland, knowing that the more the Army or police tries to quell the riot and dead bodies are seen by other Yoruba in other states.......the more the riot may spread.

They arranged a fake release when they realized the noises were becoming a National security issue not a Yoruba sentimental uproar.

Like Alagba Leye pointed out, and as I have known, Fulani herdsmen kill people they don't kidnap for ransom.

I lived in the North until shortly before the beginning of the Uncivil war.  

I had the opportunity to mingle with the Hausawa/Fulani.

I know their modus operandi.

Money, houses and wealth mean nothing to the Fulani herdsman. Their love of power stems out of their strategic evangelism to conquer the infidels and convert them to Islam, not out of greed or done for money.

When the Fulani kills, he kills for vengeance, not for money.

If you run over his son with a car accidentally, the Fulani may forgive you. If you took his wife, the Fulani would laugh and marry another. But run over his cow, the Fulani man will kill you.

This thing looks less Fulani-sh.

If it turned out to be the Niger Delta Terrorists, we need to ask who is their Friends that is the Friend of Afenifeya Group?

I think that this is something that all states and their indigenes should brutally and forcefully enforced. The Nigerian state can just be forced into a colony of cattle rearers...just like that. We do not see cattle being carried around the streets of New York.

"There is thus a need for the Yoruba Nation to be circumspect in the emerging narrative lest we be corralled into a fruitless political endeavor unwittingly allowing unfriendly interests to have political control of our land.
While it is historically true that Fulani herdsmen embark on forcible use of farmlands, “ooduapathfinder” says that the modus operandi of these herdsmen has not, so far, involved kidnapping-for-ransom. They have maimed, raped and killed in the process of grazing their cattle but have not engaged in kidnapping-for-ransom. The matter is not helped by Chief Falae himself, who, according to his published statements, tended to allege the kidnappers as “Boko Haram”; that is, “Northerners” and by implication and following Afenifere’s logic, Fulani, simply on the reference to the terrorist group by one of kidnappers.
“ooduapathfinder” believes that Chief Olu Falae is capable of knowing a Fulani when he sees one; just as he ought to know, given his very extensive participation in Nigeria’s governance at the highest levels, that a casual reference to any organization by a kidnapper  or criminal does not necessarily translate into the criminal belonging to such an organization.

Yet, we all know that the Niger Delta “militants” specialize in kidnapping-for-ransom; and they still operate in that mode, even after their amnesty program. Coupled with this is the fact that the Ijaw “militants” have not only threatened Yorubaland preparatory to the 2015 presidential elections, they have also been active in the Ondo axis, especially in the riverine areas which they lay claim to while an attempt was made, during Jonathan’s Conference, to carve that portion out of the present Ondo State as a state on its own.  “ooduapathfinder” believes that Chief Olu Falae’s experience lie between these two possibilities.".........OoduaPathfinder.
