Igbos have a presence all by way of the nation, proudly proudly owning lands and distinctive landed properties contained in the North,

one issue he mentioned Fulanis wouldn’t be allowed to non-public contained in the Southeast.

He furthermore mentioned the truth {{that a}} Fulani man occupies the Villa, wouldn’t translate to proudly proudly owning the nation. He then steered that the Fulani might very properly be better than completely satisfied to change the presidency for all the fabric wealth Igbos non-public contained in the North.

Prof Yusuf made the remark in an interview with Each day Photovoltaic.

Yusuf mentioned, “Which a part of Nigeria do they (Fulani) non-public? Igbo individuals are richer than Fulani folks; Yoruba individuals are furthermore richer than Fulani folks. There are extra Igbo and Yoruba in federal civil service than Fulani. Does any Fulani non-public a financial institution, does any Fulani non-public a media home.

“Does any Fulani non-public a resort; all of the motels in Abuja and land are owned by the Igbo; is Abuja Igbo land? Can Fulani non-public contained in the East what Igbo non-public contained in the North? No. When you’ll have actually not been to the North, come and see the landed properties that the Igbo have, which the Fulani mustn’t have and will have in Igbo land.

Whoever says Fulani man owns Nigeria, let him come and say how. Fulani man occupies Aso Rock, and so what? An Igbo man ought to return again and occupy Aso Rock and gives the Fulani all the fabric wealth he has contained in the North. That’s nonsense. Igbo non-public all of the motels, they non-public banks, and Yoruba non-public the newspapers and banks, what do the Fulani non-public. It’s merely sentimental nonsense.

On factors over solutions by Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Affiliation of Nigeria (MACBAN), to rearrange its non-public safety outfit in all 36 states to guard their folks all by way of the nation, Yusuf mentioned the concern is because of ignorance, not domination.

He mentioned, “Igbo folks don’t actually perceive the affiliation, and so they additionally give it prominence higher than what it’s. Miyetti Allah in Fulfulde means ‘Thank God’ and they also’re merely defending their cattle rearers.

“Cattle rearers actually not come to the cities, nonetheless, each group ought to defend itself on account of the federal authorities has failed; there’s not ample police, not ample troopers, and individuals are being killed all by way of. Constructive, we might get to that diploma the place communities should take obligation for his or her very private safety.

There has merely to be a licensed framework for that; we don’t have ample troopers, we don’t have ample police to guard folks. You say you’re defending Igbo, you’re defending the Fulani, Amotekun is defending the Yoruba, and it’s as a consequence of lack of central administration, which is why you’ve got acquired gotten all this nonsense.

Igbo folks notably these residing contained in the Southeast that has actually not been to the North ponder Miyetti Allah as an issue, nonetheless folks contained in the North don’t ponder IPOB, MASSOB as an issue, they’re merely agitators.

“There may be a number of misunderstanding about Nigeria. There are extra Igbo contained in the North than there are Hausa Fulani contained in the East. Additional Igbo have made a superb respectable residing contained in the North than Northerners have made contained in the Southeast, so furthermore Yoruba.

“There may be numerous misunderstanding going spherical and totally different people should be educated and that’s the rationale we’re speaking. Igbo non-public all of the motels in Abuja, you go to Kano, you go to Sokoto and completely totally different locations contained in the North, Igbo are there doing enterprise for a very very very long time, and no person begrudges them.

We have got now a president. That is the North, the place now we have our son contained in the Villa, and nonetheless we’re being killed, and individuals are speaking of Miyetti Allah.

“Igbo have executed very correctly contained in the North higher than Northerners have executed contained in the Southeast; Igbo non-public financially, economically higher than North, so what are we speaking about that Fulani owns the entire points; what do they non-public? You presumably can have the Villa and gives us all you’ve got acquired gotten contained in the North.
