I have been on this project for a minimum of five years and I should be able to give an account of what I think we are facing in Nigeria and in particular Yoruba land on the Fulanisation agenda.
First not all Fulanis are Muslims but the religion Islam is being used by ISIS Fulani jihadist in the process of annexing or Conquering territories..recall Uthman Dan Fodio and recent announcements from Guinea Republic on Fulani final conquest.
There are 3 or 4 Fulani classes in our case study –
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Domestic Fulani
May have settled and married from our tribe, they indulge mainly in cattle Rearing for Baales, Obas and big shots in the society, they are often polluted by them.
Armed Cattle Rustling Fulanis
Often found attacking cow herds, on the farm and in our villages and hamlets
Armed with bows and Arrows , machete, Rifles Ak 47. They hold the domestic Fulanis silent hostages. Some have been brutally murdered , family raped and they hold with fear this secret in their hearts Informants or friendly ones are often killed
Fulani Bandits
Always dressed differently to show they are immigrants from Chad, Niger, Mali, Cameroon. They are fallouts of the Libyan crises that Buhari alluded to in his first term. They are the first set of Saharan Fulanis to arrive in Nigeria and they saw a thriving trade in illegal sales of arms and ammunition, kidnapping, banditry and cold blooded múrder. They thrive more in Yorubaland as millions of Naira received has been recycled to purchase arms and ammunition to continue their Rape, kill and plunder campaign especially in Yoruba land.
Lastly we have ISIS ISWA Fulanis
With known killing styles like throat slitting, beheading, bowels and parts of the body removal, arson Kidnapping for Ransome, anarchy etc.
Here we need to make a clear distinction in the styles and manner of the 3 various kinds of insurgency in Nigeria that has deteriorated into Genocide in 3 regions of Nigeria perpetrated by different groups of Fulanis –
North East Region.
War led by Boko Haram and now assisted by ISIS and ISWA. Minimum of 3 states affected.

Style of Killing and Operation
North Central Region Insurgency by Boko haram , Fulani Rustlers , Herdsmen and ISIS lone fighters
By the way ISIS and ISWA fighters are on a mission of conquest of the vast area called Nigeria and the test run attacks in Yotubaland is headed by these dreaded groups ISIS and ISWA and they are Fulanis not hausa not Tiv not Kanuri not Ibo not yoruba but Fulanis, a tribe that PMB comes from.
The various Fulani groups are funded sadly by Myetti Allah and coincidentally of Which PMB is the life Patron. Myetti Allah is the main organisation behind the multi billion cattle business worth over 10 billion Naira daily in Nigeria.
Other co investors are Obas and Baales who sell their lands almost for free, retired and serving Officers our Armed Forces who often offer protection captured Fulani bandits because of their investment in the booming Cattle buisness.
Please let us be very clear about Fulanisation and don’t confuse it with Islamization. Some of these Fulani warriors cannot recite any part of the Koran ,they don’t pray, they suck blood and drink blood from beheaded human beings, they are ISIS fighters and not the domestic Fulanis that we have lived with over the years but the ISIS Jihadist have changed the game to the hunter becoming the hunted.
