Plateau State Update: Angry Fulanis Desert Camps, Return To Their Homes
Angry Fulani herdsmen, uncomfortable with the camps prepared for them by the Plateau State government ahead of the military operations being planned by Special Task Force (STF), have deserted them and headed back to their homes.
A security source who monitored the development confirmed to SaharaReporters that the irate herdsmen decided to move back to their homes today, claiming that adequate preparations had not been made for them, and that some of their wives and children have fallen sick as a result.
Some of them also complained that they were told that the operations will last only 48 hours, only to learn later that they will take about two weeks.
Another reason being cited for their action is the commencement of the Muslim Ramadan fast in a few hours.
One of the Fulani leaders, Saleh Bayeri, who is the Acting Secretary of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, confirmed that some of them have actually left the camps located in Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas.
He said, “We were [told] only two days and the headquarters in Abuja are [now] saying two weeks. And it is the talk about two weeks that [is uppermost in] our people’s minds and especially looking at the Ramadan Fasting. We on our own have pleaded with the Commander General Ayoola with whom we went round the camps and he sees the situation, to also plead with his superiors to take into consideration of our problems.”
It was also learnt that among the herdsmen, there is apprehension that returning to their homes without clearance may led to further security challenges.
EDIT!!!
Hi! my fellow brothers in plateau state,all thise atack in plateau state is not done by "BOKO HARAM" but I want you to know that its done by "CHRISTIANITY HARAM".Our father in heaven will interven.
Islam is disgusting. About

When the world becomes Islam then that is when baba God will come to drive you to hell. Momo go and take your stinking lies elsewhere.Fulanis need to go.
URGENT HELP TO SAVE THE DEFENCELESS INNOCENT NEEDED
Yes. SURELY THOSE LITTLE CHILDREN YOUR BROTHERS MATCHETED TO DEATH ARE INNOCENT
Re-Check Your spelling and pronounciation
Wo Lie Ta Lie, what does that mean? what is affecting the Northern Nig surely is affecting every part of the country. So I suggest you tell Nigerian what are the way out of these stumbling blocks. Be a good Citizen my friend.
Dont joke with the religion of Allah
I beg of all of you, do not play with our religion, for islam is beyond all of you and no matter how many people Boko Haram will kill and other enemies of truth and enlightment will do Islam will always continue to grow not only in Nigeria but all over the world. The religion if truth is and will always continue to be islam. And islam is always about peace teaches such no matter what the enemies of truth will engineer to show otherwise.
RAMADAN MERCY
@Cornelius. The first class Fulanis should be spared hardships while the second class Berom can be left to spend the farming season in refugee camps. With such shallow reasoning, Nigeria's problems may last an eternity.
Everyone knows that the Fulani's are going back to safeguard the dangerous weapons supplied to them by the ayatollahs of Iran and then plan where to strike next. Well, let them know that enough is enough. The late Ikemba's honest truth still stands: No one has a monopoly of violence.
let peace reign.
I was born before the civil war,and I heard the story of what happened then, it was bad,please my fellow Nigerians let us forget the past and allow peace to have it`s way in our Nation.
You ignorant go and learn
Go and learn from d people of knowledge wat Hausa/fulani means by WALLAHI TALLHI b4 u open your useless mouth to utter such a BIG LIE. that's hw u wil end in abusing other people religion and culture

Muslim killings in Jos

May the Lord retaliate in hundred folds for the defenceless people. Amen!
Who actually brought about this so call religious sentiment
Northerners should understand that they are destroying their chances of survival as human beings. Live and let others live is our only chance to survive as a people. Do your religion and live others to do their religion peacefully is the right call to make. What kind of legacy are we leaving for our younger generation to follow. We should leave behind our greivances and allow peace to take effect. Soldeirs in this country will never allow it to break, so stop doing what ever would destroy peace and accept your good neighbours as your equal and live in peace. Stop all the killings.
Hausa Fulani -Liars
Every words a Hausa/Fulani muslim tells you is lie. During talk,you often hear them say "WO LIE TA LIE" that means everything is a lie. Go and cross check u will confirm that the statement is a shameless big lie. Stop the LIEs!!!
Berom - innocent? If Berom
Berom - innocent? If Berom are innocent then Hitler was also innocent. They killed my brothers and roasted them and ate them.
Fulani Return to Kill
The untouchable Fulanis are back to continue their genocide, no govt or organization will stop them. Watch the pictures of what Fulani do in Nigeria.This is one single attack out several attacks on the defenceless people.Islam encourages these acts of killing. http://www.anglicandioceseofjos.org/dogo/html
GOWON and OBASANJO SAVE THE DEFENCELESS INNOCENT URGENTLY PLEASE
Please see the pictures on this link: http://www.anglicandioceseofjos.org/dogo.html
I wish to appeal to Generals Yakubu Gowon and Olusegun Obasanjo to make a case to UN so that this genocide will be stopped and the poor small Berom people protected.

RE: why indigene non-indigene?
The Hausa /Fulani are the originators of indegene and non-indegene problem in Nigeria.
The link below is about Ahmadu Bello's thoughts on multiethinic Nigeria, particularly his ideas about the Igbos.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y1Zpk4DrlA&feature=socblog_th
Thought he is highly respected by Northern Nigerians, particularly Muslims, this video make it difficult for him to be categorise him with founding fathers or nation builders. His answers to the questions posed to him portray the characteristic attitude, insensitivity and impunity of the Hausa/Fulani up till today.
Some have compared the Fulanis to the Igbos but one wonders if this is a fair comparison given that the Igbos spill no blood like Muslims do, develope the host community, learn the local language and easily intergrate.
Ramadan, the month of mercy for Muslims
True: Saving lives is always a top priority
In my humble opinion,at the very least, our Nigerian brothers and sisters, the Fulanis of Plateau State could be spared the hardships entailed in their being moved from their homes during the Ramadan period.
As Baaba Maal made clear in that BBC Hardtalk, the Fulanis are a nomadic people(from Chad to Senegal)
Fullah/Fulani happens to be my first language, as a child, up to the age of six.
Let us not start questioning nationality on the basis of emigration....or start disputing the Nigerian-ess of Shaihu Usman dan Fodio, a great Nigerian....
ourselves
What a sad state of affairs the present day NIGERIA has fallen into. somebody please stop for one second and just listen to all this tribal and religious hatred being slung at each other.
its just a complete waste of time and lives.
NIGERIA has to get on with developing itsself and not tearing itsself apart with ignorant barbaric out of date infighting.
THE TRUTH HURTS BUT UNTIL WE STOP THIS HATRED OF EACH OTHER WE ARE DOOMED.
meanwhile we are being looted bt thosewho are the real enemies of NIGERIA.
its so sad to see.

CAN TERMITE DESTROY A STONE?
Hello nigerian,let me tell you the truth of the matter NO ANY HUMAN BEING CAN DO ANYTHING WITH FULANIS PEOPLE IN THIS CONTRY( can termite destroy a stone)pls whoever say no ask birom pl of riyom n b/ladi definately they wil tell you the story.if you think you r strong headed try n see.
WHAT ABOUT THE BEROM???
Fulani, Fulani, Fulani everywhere.....
What about the Berom who fled from their homes because of the planned military operation?? Who is taking care of them?
We are no longer talking about the operation to flush out Boko Haram! The Boko terrorists have already fled! And that was the major reason for this Fulani stand-off. ALL LIES AND DECEPTION!
Now, the Fulani are coming back - not only to their homes but also to TAKE OVER THE DESERTED HOMES OF THE BEROM! Ethnic cleansing! And Boko is gone to hide elsewhere.
CUNNY, these Fulani. We can forget the military operation!!!!!
Fake quotations.!!!
These your Quranic verses are fake!!! Nothing like these exist in the Quran.

@ John
Dear Alhaji John or whatever you call yourself,
Any biblical verse/s you are directed to read from the kingdom of darkness please endeavour to read a chapter before and after the passage given there you'll find your answers.
Going back to the Quranic verses sited by Muhammad Sadiq please do read a translated Quran if you did not read meaning wt your Quran to see that all muslims are potential terrorists.
Please open your mind to these and be saved.
Nonsense
Much as I do not like to make comments regaring religion, I have to speak here abeg! When they were busy killing INNOCENT CHILDREN AND PRGENANT WOMEN, setting them on fire.....nothing was wrong? Now they are talking about their women being sick? I only say one thing......whatever they have done to anybody may it be done back to them...if they showed love...may they recieve love...if they brought pain, may they also recieve pain......
Alternatively go and form
Alternatively go and form your own country consisting of NE & NW. The rest of us are civilized and can work together. We can take Southern Kaduna with us. If you do form you own country, in no time you'll become like Chad, Niger or Mali because you can't work hard, you can't innovate. You're only good at politiking & wheeling & dealing. Do you know the reason for the amalgamation of 1914. It is because Lord Luggard (may he burn in hell) discovered that the Northern Protectorate was not viable ecomonomically. He wanted the South to subsidize the North, and we're still doing that today. Go read your history. Idiot!!!!
No my friend? Your only
No my friend? Your only achievement has been to successfully deceive the middle-belt into being your arms and legs. You could never have won the civil war without them. You could never have successfully governed Nigeria without them. You use them as tools but class them as inferior. Now they've woken up and say "No" to oppression from the wicked Fulanis. You know the game is up. That's why you have resorted to violence and destabilization. Mark my words, no Fulani man can be president in Nigeria again without the help or agreement of the Middlebelt, SW, SE & SS. Now suddenly, you can see you're in the minority. You better start negotiating. Violence and intimidation will not work because we're ready for you.
You Ingrate. This writer is
You Ingrate. This writer is obviously fulani, who is also obviously one of the few who are educated. Guy, however despite your obvious education, it is also apparent that you are grossly ignorant and have an over-bloated idea of the importance and achievements of your tribe. Tell me, what did you do for the South? You gave us christianity? You gave us education? You made us professors in the University? You helped us take over the civil service? You helped us take over the officer core of the military pre-civil war? You gave us oil? The economy nko? You are the one who handed it over to the South?
So Plataeu state has tried to
So Plataeu state has tried to train Fulanis ? Where and when ? All we know is the Berom wan them exterminated . There removal from those villages is definitely part of the ethnic cleansing plan. We all know that the so called operation was scheduled for 48 HR period . It is now many days and Jang and his cohort are planning how to stop their return.
You claim to be followers of religion - you are extremely dicriminative , violent and unjust, when lorry loads of Muslim travelers are burnt and eaten on a regular basis at Riyom , the crusading conniving southern press keep mum. Whenever there is a suggestion of wrong doing by the other side they speculate ,escalate and exaggerate. With this behavior peace can never be attained.
You are right, they came from Senegal
Those who staged the jihad in Northern Nigeria some centuries ago came from Senegal. If you read the book "Nigerian National Question & Answer" ISBN 9782049611, published 2002, it clearly states how they came to be in Northern Nigeria. On page 149 to 154 the book explains where Muslims from various parts of West Africa come from. It explain the tendency for violence among Nigerian Muslim too.
