Water Resources Bill has hidden agenda to ‘Fulanize’ Nigieria – Tiv youths blow hot
The youths further warned sponsors of the Bill to desist from toying with the peace and unity of the country, adding that Nigeria belongs to all of us and no group should be allowed to ride over others.
According to the TYO, Miyetti Allah, the Fulani socio-cultural group, have now moved from trying to grab land through pretences by a proxy to grabbing waterways across the country to the exclusive preserve of the current administration. “In my backwoods, every portion of the stream that flows through the countryside has an ownership that is respected by the community. Even fish ponds are owned and no one would just come fishing. You will be chased away and the fish confiscated.
“Does this government ponder on why the Fulani have become a scourge to communities in Nigeria. It was not so not too long ago. Our land and grass have not changed; it is the Fulani that have changed in their approach to the various communities that host them: they come with a Conquistador attitude, to plunder and kill so that their cows and flock can eat, not only grass but farm crops.
“There are times when the rivers dry and communities rely on ponds and wells and these killers have shown that there is no limitation to their protocol of violence.
