5 Lovely Things About The Fulani's No One Can Deny

One of the most malign ethnic groups in Nigeria is the Fulanis of Northern Nigeria. The news that makes headlines about them are their clashes with farmers. Thus, many Nigerians have the wrong perception about them.


Below are 5 lovely things about Fulani people.

1). They are the biggest nomadic people in the world
There is no argument that Fulanis are the biggest nomadic people in the world. According to research, around 13 million of the 20 million Fulani people are nomads They are born nomads as they walk for kilometres with their cattle in search of food and water.

2). They have a unique and colourful dress culture
If you see a Fulani man or woman, you can instantly identify them by the way they dress. For instance, in Nigeria, men sometimes wear a hat with three tips on it while the women adorn their hair with shells or use henna to decorate their hands and feet.

3). The Fulani language is spoken across Africa
The Fulani language is spoken in over 15 African countries. It is also one of the major languages spoken in Nigeria. Hence, it is essential to note that Fulanis are not present only in Nigeria.

4). They practice Islam.
Most Fulanis are followers of Islam. This should not be a surprise to anyone as they are from a part of Nigeria where Islam is the dominant religion.

5). Their livelihood is weaved around cattle.
Fulanis are very dependent on cattle. Every Fulani no matter their status in the society 'must' own cattle.

Primary School Teacher Narrates How He Was Arraigned and Sacked For Commenting on Oyedepo's Post About Bukola Saraki

A 37- year-old primary school teacher in Kwara State, Biodun Baba, who was arraigned before a magistrates’ court in Ilorin for allegedly insulting Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Facebook has narrated how he got into the trouble.


Baba said apart from being dragged to court, he was also fired from his job for commenting on a Facebook post by one Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo and sharing another about the Senate President.

He said members of the APC took the matter upon themselves and expelled him from the party while accusing him of posting so many anti-Saraki articles on social media.

Recounting his ordeal to Punch, he said;

• “I commented on a post on the Facebook page of the factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo.
  
  “Oyedepo had posted on his Facebook page the day that the Senate President was discharged and acquitted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal , and I wrote in the comment section that if, ‘somebody believes that he is above everybody, he is not above the judgment of God. If Saraki has been discharged by the CCT, has he been discharged by God?’
  
  “Abdulazeez Azeez, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, was particularly angry when he read my comment. He went to the elders of the party in my ward to report me, saying I abused the Senate President. I told them that I did not abuse him and that I just commented on someone else’s post.
  
  “I told them that I merely exercised my freedom of expression . They called a meeting of the executives of the ward to discuss the matter . At the end of the meeting, they announced my suspension from the All Progressives Congress for three months.
  
  “That was about a week after my Facebook post. I have not been recalled up till now . After that, there was another post on Facebook which I shared. The message was: ‘Presidency, Osinbajo replies Saraki on Magu issue.’
  
  “I was not the one that wrote it but I shared it . They saw it on my wall, so they expressed anger again and accused me of posting another message.
  
  “They summoned me to another meeting at my ward. From there , they said they would expel me totally from the party . They went to the APC local government secretariat and summoned me to the place, I went there to explain myself.
  
  “I told them I wrote the first one but that I just shared the second one. They did not agree with me because it appeared that the ward chairman had poisoned their minds.
  
  “After that, we went to the state secretariat of the party to meet all the stakeholders there. They included the state Chairman of APC, Mr. Jimoh Adesina; Mr. Isiaka Oniwa ; Mr . Ishola Bolagun- Fulani; and the woman leader, Ramat Oganija, among others.
  
  “The ward chairman brought a lot of people to testify against me . I was the only one on the other side. They said a lot of things about me. They searched for my name and accused me of abusing Bukola Saraki when he was turbaned as the Baba Adinni.
  
  “They alleged that I wrote many things which I did not write. Again, the state party executives did not believe me. One of them , Oniwa, stood up from where they were seated and asked me where I was working . I said I worked at the LGEA Primary School in the Moro Local Government Area of the state.
  
  “He then shouted, ‘Ahh! I am the one that built that school. I will expel you from that job. I will fire you from that job.’ He sat down . It was at that point that Adesina stood up and vowed to use his personal money for my prosecution because I (allegedly) abused the party leader in the state. He is the one that took me to court.
  
  “After that, one of those on the high table said , “ This case will not stop here . Let us call security officers to arrest this boy .” He was referring to me.
  
  “They called the Department of State Services to arrest me on that day . Two officials of the DSS came and dragged me to their office in Ilorin . They gave me a form to write an undertaking that I will never abuse the senate president again.
  “That was what I wrote . Three days after , I got a call from my headmaster that the Secretary of the Local Government Area Education Primary School had said he should fire me.
  
  “I immediately went to the secretary to confirm whether it was true or not. When I got there, he confirmed that the secretary was asked to fire me . My parents and family members were worried that they would fire me from my job. They took me to Oniwa to beg him.
  
  “Initially, I refused to follow them , but they prevailed on me. At the end of the day, he agreed to look into the case.”

"My Goals In Manchester United will Never Be Broken - Wayne Rooney Says

Manchester United Legend and football star, Wayne Rooney has disclosed that his goals in Manchester United may never be surpassed.


Rooney amassed 16 medals in 13 years at Old Trafford, before returning to his former club Everton this summer.
The England striker also smashed a United goals record set by Sir Bobby Charlton, that had stood for 44 years, scoring 253 times.

Wayne Rooney said;

• 
  “You never know, if they get someone like Messi or Ronaldo the record might get broken!
  
  “But I think that in football now, players don’t really tend to stay at clubs for that long. The only way I can see it being broken is if someone stays for the same period of time that I did.
  
  “It’s a great legacy to have left behind at United. I have got some great memories of a successful time for the club. It was great for me.
  
  “I loved it there, loved working with the players, but it was the right time for me to move on and I feel I’ve certainly made the right decision,”

"The Reason Behind Our Slow Move on Arrest of Nnamdi Kanu" - IGP

The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, on Friday explained why the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is yet to be re-arrested.


Idris, who spoke during a working visit to The Nation’s corporate headquarters in Lagos, also said the Arewa Youths were yet to be picked up, based on the decision of the National Security Council.

He stated;

• “We have the National Security Council in place chaired by the Acting President. We have been meeting and analyzing each of these threat messages from separatist groups.
  
  We have to analyse the pros and cons. As you are aware, the police are on top of the situation.
  
  As an organisation, what we take as paramount is the maintenance of law and order. There was a time we ordered the arrest of the leaders of groups making threat messages. Then, leaders of various ethnic nationalities came to the villa for a meeting with the Acting President.
  
  The agreements reached at the meeting made the police to relax on the arrest order.
  
  We believe there are certain situations needed to be managed very carefully, so that you don’t bring up tension. We believe the security and safety of Nigerians is paramount. We are assuring Nigerians that there is no person or group of persons that can deny them their rights to free movement in any part of the country,”
