12 Benefits Of A Healthier Sex Life That Have Nothing To Do With The Obvious

Cynics initially dismissed him, even laughing, labeling his leadership as "clueless." However, it didn't take long for Nigerians to realize that his statements stemmed from his privileged position as President, receiving intelligence from both official and unofficial sources.

General T. Y. Danjuma confirmed this when he urged Nigerians to brace for annihilation by Islamic terrorists, militia masquerading as herdsmen, who had the northern borders flung open by the Buhari administration. Concrete evidence emerged when the actions of security agencies became suspicious, especially regarding their pretended and hypocritical efforts to protect victims of prolonged pillaging and genocidal attacks.

It became evident to everyone that security officials were overtly sympathetic to the Fulanization agenda. Amidst horrendous atrocities, security forces never apprehended any Fulani herdsmen because the top echelon ensured that Fulani security personnel led all security formations, allowing them to issue orders refraining subordinates from arresting herdsmen, regardless of their actions.

In essence, terrorists masquerading as herdsmen, imported from the Sahel region of West Africa, operated lawlessly with a dubious "sense of entitlement" to all lands and forests in Nigeria. While ranches are mandatory in West African countries, Nigeria is not designated for ranching, as asserted by the former governor of Bauchi State, claiming that the Fulani race has no boundaries across West Africa—an amusing and baseless posturing.

The duration of the Buhari administration marked gruesome bloodshed and unspeakable hardship inflicted on Nigerians by unbridled terrorists masquerading as herdsmen, traversing Christian communities in southern Kaduna and middle-belt states, with trickle effects in the southern part of the country. As the genocidal activities continued unchecked, it became apparent that there was an ethnic cleansing and armed occupation by terrorists and their families in the ancestral homelands of the people.

The body language of the then brazen-faced dictator in Aso Rock left no one in doubt about the ideological Fulanization agenda pursued by foot soldiers, the ragtag herdsmen behaving like wild animals with no regard for human life, especially in areas inhabited by their religious affiliates, Muslims. Consequently, the ongoing security negligence is reflective of a religious denominational agenda of northern Muslims.

Northern Muslims have never supported the restructuring of the lopsided Federation with a decentralized security architecture as an integral part. They have not advocated for ranching, driven by their ultra-conservative belief that the Fulani race is free to roam any land in West Africa with their cattle, consuming the farm products of toiling farmers.

They oppose the restoration of a true Federation, as seen in the First Republic, where constituent regions harnessed natural and mineral resources for wealth creation, massive employment, and sustainable socioeconomic growth and development. Their preference lies in perpetual control of oil money from the Niger Delta region and heading the NNPC indefinitely.

President Tinubu will be wasting his breath hoping for food security if he doesn't prioritize the expulsion of terrorists masquerading as herdsmen, imported from the Sahel region of West Africa, back to their origin. It is the incumbent duty of the president, as the Commander in Chief of the Nigerian Army and other security agencies, to order the evacuation of foreign herdsmen from the ancestral homelands of Nigerians.

The citizens, languishing in makeshift refuge settlements and facing attacks by terrorists, deserve urgent attention, with the security agencies displaying unwarranted apathy. It's a tragic indication that Nigeria is a "Banana Republic and Pariah state."
