The Fulani herdsmen have already been waging violent jihad against Nigeria’s Christians for years. They are able to operate with impunity and issue threats such as this one because the Nigerian government has neither the will nor the power to counter them, as some government officials sympathize with the jihadis.
“‘Fulani’ group writes Delta Gov, Okowa, threatens Jihad over grazing ban,” Ripples Nigeria, June 14, 2021:
A group, which claims to be made up of Fulanis, has written the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, threatening Jihadist attacks on some strategic facilities in the state if he fails to withdraw his support for a ban on open grazing enacted by southern governors.
In the unsigned letter pasted on some locations in Asaba, the state capital on Sunday, the group gave Okowa 72 hours to withdraw his support for the ban or face series of attacks in the city.
In the unsigned letter titled “Fulani Jihadist warning: An open message to Delta State’, and dated June 13, the group said they have earmarked some locations including the fence of the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, located along Infant Jesus Road.
Part of the letter reads:
“This is to inform Delta State that the Fulani of Usman Dan Fodio leadership shall do everything it can to uphold the legacy of our heritage of open grazing; for we are nomadic people from origination and shall never negotiate the ownership of Nigeria, West Africa and Sub-Sahara.
“We hereby demand the Governor of Delta State to immediately withdraw his earlier stand on the call to ban open grazing in 17 regions (states) in not less than 72 hours from the above date, and also withdraw his position as the leading voice for the governors.
“Failure to adhere to this demand for being the host of the 17 governors, Delta State, most likely, the city of Asaba and Agbor, shall encounter severe consequences than that of Bornu, Kebbi, Kastina, Kaduna, Enugu, Benue, Oyo and many more that will not respect the Fulani’s heritage.
“We take responsibility for the detonated explosive uncovered in the state capital secretariat, which should serve as a warning to the Delta State Government for what is to come should the governor fail to abide to our demand.
“We highly advise all Fulani and northerners, including the security personnel, to leave Delta State as soon as possible for the wind of our action is now present in the land. Failure of the governor to adhere to our call shall live us with no other choice.”…
Brando says
Leftist journalists write articles where they Always say the problem is not Islam but RESOURCES ( economic factors). It is in line with Critical Race Theory where Non-Western groups are Always the Eternal Victims,the Noble Savages.
METHOD USED
They HIDE the anti-human rights customs of those groups, On Purpose,so those groups are Always the Good Ones, never evil.
EXAMPLE: the IROQUOIS
Many tribes in the Northern Part of Eastern North America for CENTURIES before and after 1492 would:
1.Have a custom of SLOWLY TORTURING to DEATH prisoners.
2.It would last about 7 DAYS
3.It would include MUTILATION of body parts, BURNING one part of the body. In the end the prisoner was BURNED to Death.
According to trustworthy French EYEWITNESS accounts, they also later ATE the body(cannibalism).
At least the AZTECS and TUPIS and GUARANIS ( both from South America ) did NOT torture their victims for DAYS,it was a quick death and then,eating the body.
One group was the Iroquois Confederacy ( 5,later 6 tribes), 50,000 in all.They became allies of the ENGLISH. Leftist books either Omit this or say it but try to convince us it is all a LIE.
HIAWATHA
The confederation was created by Hiawatha, after the 5 tribes had been at war for 100 years. In cooperation with another man called the GREAT PEACEMAKER ( both lived in the 16 th century )
Another group that did the Torture and Cannibalism Ceremony were the HURONS ( later allies of the FRENCH).In fact,ALL the tribes of the region became the allies of the French(exempt for the Iroquois Confederacy)
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
He learned about the specifics of the Iroquois Conderacy (elections and government checks )and it is said that through him it had an influence of the American Constitution.
FRENCH EYEWITNESS SOURCES
In the JESUIT RELATIONS, accounts written from 1632-1672, by Jesuits about the customs of the tribes, it appears. One valuable source is that of a Jesuit SURVIVOR (Isaac Jogues),
who describes what he and others went through.
THE LACHINE MASSACRE
In 1689 for no reason the Iroquois attacked a French village and took 90 prisoners, 42 survived to return,and they describe how 48 of the prisoners died after
days of torture,mutilation, burned to death,and then cannibalism.
From ENGLISH and DUTCH writers (and also French) we know the HURONS did the same.
MATRIARCHAL SOCIETY
1.The Iroquois tribes had a MALE CHIEF but he was ELECTED by the WOMEN of the tribe.
2. He could also be DEPOSED from his position by them and also they forbade the RAPE of female prisoners. In the village people lived in LONGHOUSES ( about 10 families) where the HEAD of it was always a WOMAN.
3. Also membership in the tribe was passed through the MOTHER,never the Father.
So it is obvious that the Torture Ceremony and Cannibalism could have been STOPPED if those women had wished it.
TECUMSEH (1768 – 1813)
He was a man capable of SURPASSING his CULTURE,he Forbade the Torture and Burning of Captives.
1.He forged an alliance of many tribes due to being a brilliant orator and when he was a TEEN, fought on the British side in the American Revolution. There he saw how an AMERICAN prisoner was BURNED to Death by Amerindians.
He was so horrified that he decided Not to Allow it Again,if he could ( which he did when he became head of many tribes ).
2.Some claim he can be called the SAVIOR of CANADA,since in the War of 1812, his tribes allied with the British and in Several battles/ ambushes , Prevented the American Army from CONQUERING Canada. Otherwise Canada would now be a part of the US.
CURSE OF TECUMSEH
He died in battle and there is the legend he pronounced a curse on the US government, so that by coincidence:
Also called the 20-Year Presidential Curse, there was a pattern of DEATHS in OFFICE ( asassinations/ natural death ) of presidents of the United States who won the elections in years
that are evenly divisible by 20, since the 1840 election ( 1840,1860,1880,
1900,1920,1940,1960 )
REAGAN was elected in 1980 and was SHOT but didnt die,and supposedly that broke the curse.

Nigeria: Muslim Fulani herdsmen threaten jihad violence over ban on open grazing
………….
I doubt this really has much to do with grazing rights…
Raja says
Threaten jihad for rights, rights given by allah, invariably discriminatory. Jihad is the inspiration, it is the cover for all illegal deeds, also a domicile’s sword over all infidels’ head if you are in the West or with sizable muslim population. By the way, even 10 percent of muslim population is sizable for jihad!
Which Muslim will hesitate to use Jihad?
Del says
The religion of peace, my ass. Cult of violence.
