WHY ANY GRAZING BILL MUST BE REJECTED:
This story is about how King Yunfa, the Hausa Sarkin in Gobir (now Sokoto) hosted a Fulani immigrant called Usman Dan Fodiyo and his group in February 1804.
From then to 1808 the whole of the northern Hausa region lost its kingdoms and were replaced by Fulani Emirates.
King Yunfa was killed in 1808 and the Fulani warrior (Usman Dan Fodiyo) established Sokoto Caliphate, making himself Sultan.
Gradually, other Hausa kingdoms were pillaged and taken over by the Fulani Emirs. The ethnic groups in the core north were the first victims of Fulani imperialism, a venture that occurred bcos the people were given access to grazing lands as a result of the hospitality of the hosts.
They however failed to overrun the Bornu kingdom, so the Shehu of Bornu remains paramount till today!
The Afonja dynasty compromised by allowing a Fulani warrior known as Janta Alimi to settle in Ilorin, the Fulani guerrillas killed Afonja in 1824
And Ilorin, a Yoruba town under the Oyo empire, fell into Fulani control, becoming an Emirate under Sokoto caliphate till today. Even the attempts of the O'odua People's Congress (OPC) to revert to status quo ante and crown an Onilorin of Ilorin became an exercise in futility.
The Yoruba warriors got wise and defeated the Fulani jihadists in Osogbo in 1840, if this didn't happen there would most likely have been Fulani "Emirs" as rulers in Oyo Alaafin, Ibadan, Owo, Osogbo, Ede, Ado, and Igede Ekiti today!
If the Binin Kingdom did not fight and repel the jihadists, they would have penetrated the Edo/Delta region beyond the present day Edo North Senatorial District which gave in and allowed the jihadists to overrun & islamize them.
Along with some ignorant folks they are again angling for grazing areas and a corridor through the entire federation. These grazing areas will in future become Fulani settlements, later commmunities and finally local government areas with elected officials.
If you think I am being alarmist look towards the once beautiful and serene Middle Belt state of Plateau. The exact same thing happened in Jos.
Therefore, it will not be far-fetched to conclude that the Fulani herdsmen are pawns in an agenda to overrun all towns in Nigeria! So that we will have Emirs in Owerri, Enugu, Benin, Agatu, Abeokuta and other towns where FG creates "grazing reserves" for Fulani herdsmen!
If Yunfa didn't accommodate Fodio and his jihadists from Futatoro, Hausa Sarkis would be ruling today in the north!
And if Afonja didn't conspire with Alimi, a Yoruba kingdom would not have been ruled by Alimi's offspring till today!
This is a subtle continuation of the 1804 Fulani jihad by the fully-armed and protected Fulani herdsmen with an age-old agenda to overrun and Islamize the whole of Nigeria very quickly.
I will end this with what someone rightly said- "The grazing bill is not an attempt to solve the problem, it's a subterfuge to progress the agenda"
It's an age-old political strategy really- ..create a problem, come up with a "solution" that advances the cause, and then give it a legal backing.
Make it look like a win-win situation.
Be as wise as serpents....

Spread this message for people to be aware. Am I an alarmist? History will judge
