Festus Ogun: Ondo – Akeredolu’s holiday vacation get to herdsmen authorized, constitutional

For troopers to escort murderous Fulani herdsmen back to a neighborhood in Ogun point out from which they were earlier evicted and then to publicly whip associates of that neighborhood for evicting them merely beggars perception. Have the people of the South West now come to be slaves in their fathers land? Have we ultimately been conquered and occupied?

It is completely mind-blowing. It is wicked. It is evil. It is unacceptable. How a great deal much more bloodshed, carnage, violence, insults and humiliation are the individuals of the South West expected to consider? Soldiers are whipping our folks like canines in the road in buy to reinstate individuals that are killing, raping and maiming them?

Is our Army a Nigerian Army or a Fulani Military? Are the Fulanis excellent to all many others? Are they above the law? Is the Presidency a Nigerian Presidency or a Fulani Presidency? Why do they normally communicate out in defence of killer herdsmen and by no means for their victims? It is only when you have satisfied a person whose entire relatives has been raped and butchered by Fulani herdsmen that you will know or recognize what is heading on in the South West. It has develop into a day by day event.

They have kidnapped, maimed and slaughtered classic rulers, businessmen, politicians, elder-statesmen, farmers, artesans, lecturers, teachers, learners, artists, pure-h2o sellers, sector girls, hairdressers, the wealthy, the bad, gals, children and so lots of other individuals like the attractive daughter of Baba Reuben Fasoranti, the leader of Afenifere.

For Miyetti Allah, the ACF, the NEF or any one else to say that the Fulani “own all the land in Nigeria” and that we are “being provocative”, “beating the drums of war” and “asking for a 2nd civil war” by contacting for the arrest and eviction of the killer herdsmen and murderous thugs from our land is insulting and provocative.

Only the ignorant, cowardly and uninformed converse like that. Only individuals that are secretly at the rear of the carnage, that profit from it and that sent the herdsmen to unleash terror on us can say such issues.

The Structure does not grant the Fulani or everyone else the suitable to commit murder in Nigeria or to switch the South West into their killing fields. The Structure does not regard Yoruba blood as getting cheaper than many others and neither does it prescribe that the Yoruba folks are to be handled like sacrificial lambs and killed at will.

Some Yoruba leaders want to be President or Vice President in 2023 and are therefore ready to continue to keep silent and tolerate this rubbish that is being finished to our men and women. I am not a single of individuals leaders. Absolutely nothing in this world can make me trade in the blood and lives of my persons. Very little will make me switch a blind eye to their sufferings or betray them.

For me my men and women occur initial and politics or political expediency will come a distant next. I will communicate the fact no make a difference the implications, no matter what it expenses me and no issue whose ox is gored.

And the real truth is that Chief Sunday Igboho, Governor Akeredolu, Afenifere, Professor Akintoye, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, SOKAPU, the Southern and Center Belt Leaders Discussion board (SMBLF) and all the other persons and bodies that have spoken out versus the murderous functions of the herdsmen in the South West and elsewhere are proper.

And all those that have supported or tried to rationalise the legal behaviour of the killers in the title of political correctness or political expediency are treacherous, shameless and irresponsible.

If you are a Yoruba man and you want to be President or Vice President I speculate whose affairs will you be presiding over and who will you direct or stand for at the nationwide level if all your Yoruba persons have by now been killed?

Soon we shall start contacting the collaborators and coward’s out by name. You betray your own just for aid, acceptance and marketing from northerners whereas no northerner worthy of his salt will at any time provide his very own men and women out for you? Almost nothing could be additional reprehensible than that.

Shakespeare wrote ‘cowards die numerous moments ahead of their death’ and Soyinka wrote “the man dies in him who remains silent in the facial area of tyranny and injustice”. They were equally right.

The guy has died in way too quite a few of our leaders today and the time to converse out is now. We all have to have to take a cue from Sunday Igboho.

Enough is adequate. Much too a lot blood has been get rid of and much too a lot of lives have been taken by these herdsmen in the South West and in other places. They kill in the North, the Middle Belt, the South South, the South East and all over the place else and they do it with no remorse and with whole impunity.

Peace-loving and law-abiding Fulanis are welcome in the South West but those people that get rid of, steal, rape and damage ought to depart and they need to be brought to justice by the authorities. If this does not happen anticipate quite a few additional Sunday Igbohos to increase up.

The worst culprits in all this are the Buhari administration who are complicit in these crimes and in this ethnic cleaning, mass murder and genocide. I say they are complicit simply because they have refused to disarm the perpetrators, arrest them or provide them to justice irrespective of the truth that it is their constitutional duty to do so.

They have unsuccessful to maintain law and buy and to guard the life and assets of the Nigerian men and women and they proceed to pamper and motivate the killer herdsmen.

The Presidency no lengthier speaks for the Nigerian people today but only for Miyetti Allah and the Fulani herdsmen. This is a tragedy of monumental proportions and no subject what they say they will by no means transform.
