BUHARI MUST STOP THE ROAMING COWS NOW!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 9.NO 358. 21st June, 2020.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). . PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

BUHARI MUST STOP THE ROAMING COWS NOW!

So much condemnation over insecurity in Nigeria has brought to the fore a number of proffered solutions ranging from secession to regionalisation, restructuring, or outright North/South dichotomy so that the over 200 million citizens of the existing “contraption” could go their separate ways!

Can Nigerian politicians and the entire citizenry claim that they are oblivious that the root-cause of the nation’s insecurity problems ARE THE ROAMING COWS or were they all pretentious to the TRUTH in view of illicit PECUNIARY GAINS that accrue to Cow dealers at the expense of massive loss of precious human lives?

It had been proved and established that majority of the COW POPULATION IN NIGERIA belong to the elites in the military, civil society groups of money bags, which employ peasants to herd the animals for grazing anywhere they found luscious fields of green grass though they maintained various Ranches across the country where they could be properly maintained and given necessary and adequate medical attention!

IT IS AN OPEN FACT THAT NORTHERNERS HAVE RATED A COW’S LIFE HIGHER THAN THAT OF A HUMAN!  

Instances in the past have revealed that clashes between the pastoralists and farmers always resulted in heavy human casualties once ONE COW WAS EITHER INJURED OR KILLED – and it had been the trend till date!
KADUNA State Governor, El Rufai, said during his first term that he paid handsome compensations to some FOREIGN Herdsmen from West Africa to avoid a reprisal when some of their cows were killed during a clash with Nigerian farmers whose vegetations were completely ransacked by the foreign cows!

Governor El Rufai (A FULANI MAN), also said that Fulani herdsmen always avenged the slaughter of their cows even if took a hundred years!

QUESTION BEGGING FOR ANSWERS!

Was the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates of Nigeria in 1914 by the British colonial masters intended to UNITE or create DIVISION among the diverse people? If the answer is in the affirmative, why is greater premium being placed now on COW-REARING WHICH HAD BEEN THE MAIN PRE-OCCUPATION OF THE NORTHERNERS LONG BEFORE INDEPENDENCE IN 1960?

The nomadic herders between 1960 and 2009 were friendly, loving, ease-going people who blended with all tribes and always exchanged pleasantries as they roamed the nooks and crannies of the nation’s landscape for grazing areas and even traded some of their animals for cash along their itinerary routes across the length/breadth  of the arable areas without quarrel or rancour and it was difficult to differentiate between FULANIS  from Nigeria, Niger, Togo, Senegal or Sierra Leon, because of their look-alike features!

BUT with the debut of Boko Haram in 2009, the story changed as herders were manipulated through Islamic Doctrine and other deceptions which turned them to carry lethal arms and unleash mayhem upon innocent citizens through the destruction of their farmlands or through cattle rustling.

WHO DID NOT KNOW THAT THE ARMED NOMADIC HERDSMEN, THE VICIOUS ARMED KIDNAPPERS, THE RUTHLESS BANDITS, THE HIGHWAY ROBBERS/ASSASSINS, ARE NETWORKING WITH THE BOKO HARAM! Statistics of killings by these mindless groups between January and September 2018 alone was nearly 1,700, according to Global Terrorism Index.

Other years before the 2019 elections though were less intimidating, were very unacceptable!!

Check out the modus operandi of the mindless criminals and discover the similitude of operations which was why it was easy for them to CONVERT THE ITINERANT NOMADIC FULANI HERDSMEN INTO THEIR ARMED FOOT SOLDIERS WHO ARE NOT HINDERED FROM CRISSCROSSING THE NATION AND PRETENDING TO BE INNOCENT PASTORALIST!

In spite of the land borders closure before and during the Covid-19 pandemic the herdsmen movement remained unhindered because they are the unsuspicious decoy for Boko Haram seamless attacks across the nation!

IS NIGERIA THE 21ST CENTURY ANIMAL FARM?

George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, a 1945 allegorical novella narrated the story of a group of farm animals which rebelled against their human owner/master, took over authority with a view to creating an egalitarian society where they could enjoy absolute freedom of rights and equality.

Orwell’s focus in that work was a highlight of the infamous Communist ideology which dominated Russia and the Soviet Union but eventually resisted and overcome!

However in the novella, the animals realised that some of them (the Pigs in particular), were “more equal” than the others, cruel and oppressive as the human farmers! SO THEY HAD TO ABANDON THE MISSION AND RETURN TO STATUS QUO! 

Nigeria is not the allegorical “Animal Farm” where Humans could be kicked out by ROAMING COWS in an organized rebellion like the kind being witnessed in the nation as it is presently!

WHO EXCEPT THE AREWA THAT IS TOTALLY BLIND TO THE GLARING FACT THAT THEIR ROAMING COWS ARE THE ROOTED CAUSE OF INSECURITY IN NIGERIA?

According to the African adage: Arewa has “abandoned the treatment of leprosy to concentrate on body itches!”
A coalition of NINE Arewa Youth groups on 16th June, 2020, gave 14-day ultimatum from 15th June, 2020, to Federal Government to end insecurity in Northern Nigeria or face mass action because it has failed to protect the lives and properties of the citizens!!
In a statement, the coalition asked President Buhari to immediately sack all the Service Chiefs, abolish Security Votes for Governors. (All service Chiefs except Navy are of Northern extraction!)
Northern Elders Forum (NEF) demanded that the President took positive action on the very poor security situation in the North rather than merely condemning bandits each time they killed people.
Indigenous people of Katsina demand State of emergency to stave off frequent killings of innocent people by bandits.
Northern Christian Association (CAN) of Nigeria seeks an end to insecurity in Nigeria!

The groups claim that the five years of Buhari’s administration had escalated insecurity since greater number of Northerners had been exposed to avoidable deaths and loss of property in a manner that history had never witnessed before!

AREWA has no right to pronounce 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government because:
Arewa’s Boko Haram are the TERRORISTS!
Arewa’s Boko Haram are the Kidnappers, the Highway Robbers, the Marauders, the Assassins, the Insurgents.... and are being sponsored by AREWA MONEY BAGS!

THE SOLUTION TO INSECURITY IN NIGERIA RESTS SQUARELY IN THE HANDS OF PRESIDENT BUHARI, THE AREWA LEADERS AND THE AREWA YOUTHS!
Stop the Roaming Cows in their tracks.
Limit COWS to STATES OF ORIGIN!
Ban NOMADIC FULANI HERDSMEN from North and West African Countries from migrating into Nigeria &, the upsurge of the kind of INSECURITY BEING WITNESSED IN NIGERIA PRESENTLY WILL AUTOMATICALLY COME TO AN END!

BUT AREWA HOLDS THE KEY TO PEACE IN NIGERIA!

The LEADERSHIP STYLE OF AREWA Must be brought to accountability by both the Federal/State Governments and PEOPLE OF NIGERIA at this critical period that an acceptable solution MUST be proffered to SECURE the nation and salvage what is left of it for POSTERITY!

We appreciate that the ALMAJIRI SYSTEM OF EDUCATION which birthed and nurtured BOKO HARAM, in the North has been ABOLISHED ONCE AND FOR ALL!
BUT UNTIL AREWA....

Decides to limit COW-HERDING to individual States to legislate for RANCHING, RUGA etc; as they deemed fit;
Bans nomadic herders from West African/Northern Countries from migrating freely into Nigeria with their COWS under any existing international convention or protocol ....
Legislates against any form of animal grazing in any public/private spaces of the North BUT ensure that any individual who engaged in livestock business, would do so according to the NEW LAWS to maintain permanent peace!
But if Buhari fails to carry out all of the above, SOMEONE ELSE is waiting in the WING!

‘’Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.’’ (Prov 11:14)
