Terrorism: Northern Nigeria Leadership
And Their Defence Of The Global Fourth
Deadliest Terror Group

The heightened level of hypocrisy coupled with the disgusting display of insanity, coming
from the Northern leadership of Nigeria, on the part of the Fulani killer herdsmen, is terribly
amazing. This group of terrorists is the fourth most deadliest, according to global terror
index ranking. In a country that has the level of atrocity being routinely committed by the
Fulani herdsmen terrorists against law abiding citizens, the Northern leaders have always
stoutly stood in defence, with the Nigerian media being the willing tool employed for the
dissemination of accompanying false narratives. The Nigerian media must as a matter of
expediency, apply itself to the consciousness of humanity and guiding ethics in it's untamed
reportage of falsehood.
In this 21st century, the Nigeria Northern leaders have persistently been pushing the
narrative of cattle routes which to every sane mind, is no longer fashionable in any part of
the world. The former governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, in his recent interview, painted
the picture through his announcement to the global community that the fourth most
deadliest terror organization (Fulani herdsmen), were being mistreated.
The question then is, why are the Northern governors and the legislative arms of their
respective State Governments, hell-bent on defending the indefensible? Why has the
Nigerian government not deemed it yet fit, to proscribe these Fulani killer herdsmen despite
their criminalities? Why are the Northern governors and the Nigerian government in
complicit, defending the atrocities of these blatant Islamic murderers?
According to Isa Yuguda, these people are Fulani herdsmen and the world clearly knows
them as terrorists whose activities are clearly evident in Nigeria. They have consistently
carried out gruesome acts of criminality like murder, rape, forceful land grabbing, amongst
others which rightly describe them as terrorists. The Nigerian Inspector-General of Police, in
the contrast, surprisingly gave a tacit confirmation to the general public on the floor of the
Nigerian Senate that these same Fulani herdsmen who live in the bushes and forests, are
foreigners and not Nigerians.
Despite the ban placed on Open Grazing as a result of the terror-related activities of these
marauding cattle herders, the Nigerian government and it's Northern collaborators, have so
arrogantly refused to enforce the law. They have instead, pushed the narrative that these
Islamic terrorists are pastoralists. If therefore, these cattle herders that are constituting
nuisances/insecurity, brandishing varying degrees of unlicensed assault weapons like AK47
under the cloak of pastoralists are truly foreign terrorists, why then is the Northern
leadership frantically putting up defence against their atrocious activities? Why are they
canvassing that the Nigerian government should grant them (terrorists), unfettered access to
the lands of the indigenous citizens?
This "One-Nigeria" project is by all indication, a complex scam which has clearly placed
various ethnic nationalities and their peoples in a state of pandemonium. Collectively, the
Southern part of Nigeria must raise it's voice against the damning upsurge of terrorism being
masterminded by the Nigerian leaders. It is systematically being driven by these Fulani killer
herdsmen. It is important therefore, to categorically state here that these Fulani cattle
herders are by every assessment, neither pastoralists nor farmers and have definitely in no
way, contributed to the growth of the Nigerian economy. They are Northern Islamic foot
soldiers unleashed on Nigerians in line with years of well plotted agenda of overruning
everybody. Their stock in trade is intimidation, death and domination. They have to be
vehemently contained, resisted and defeated.
