30,000 armed Fulani militants in Nigeria? This is not ethnic talk o
5 months ago
Jamiu A. Olamilekan dropped this article today and e don burst my brain. The guy say about 30,000 armed Fulani militants dey operate across parts of Nigeria. Whether the number correct or not, the truth be say criminals don become too bold for this country. Dem dey invade communities, kill innocent people, destroy property, and disappear like nothing happen.
But here is where I get wahala. Some people go read this and start shouting 'Fulani this, Fulani that.' But Jamiu talk say criminality should never be confused with ethnicity. The Fulani get millions of law-abiding citizens doing business, farming, teaching, and serving in government. If we start blaming an entire tribe for the actions of criminals, we go scatter the country finish.
The real question be: how these armed groups dey get sophisticated weapons? Who dey help them navigate local terrain? Jamiu talk say many criminal networks get local collaborators. So the problem na security, not ethnicity. But I beg una, be honest — when you hear about these attacks, your mind no go first to tribe before security? Let's argue this.
