Fulani are being cheated despite providing meat, milk for Nigeria, if Nigeria breaks up we will survive -Livestock breeders association

Hussaini Salisu, the spokesman for Livestock Breeders Association of Nigeria (LIBAN), Kaduna State chapter, has alleged that Fulani people are the most hated in Nigeria despite providing milk and meat for the nation.

According to Salisu who is a Fulani rice farmer as well as a herder, the occupations of farmers and cattle rearers are threatened by insecurity, which means there'll be food shortage in the country .

He also claimed that the fatmer-herder conflict in Nigeria is as a result of communal clashes and not foreign Fulani herdsmen.

He said blaming foreign Fulani herdsmen for the farmer-herder conflict in Nigeria, may provoke Fulani herdsmen from other countries to attack Nigeria.

”If you continue to talk about Fulani this way, they will not have peace and if they don’t have peace, you cannot have peace yourself,” he said in an interview with the Sun.

”I am the Dallatun of Laduga in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State. I am a rice farmer. My parents live in the bush. We farm and rear cattle. We have farmers and cattle rearers whose occupations are being threatened by insecurity, particularly kidnapping and banditry.

“And the only way out of this insecurity is for the government to be realistic and non-partial in ensuring that peace is restored. Fulani people have been threatened by insecurity and their cows rustled over the years.

“Now, the government is trying to protect the farmers so that they can work on their farms without fear of being kidnapped. But nobody is talking about protecting the Fulani herdsmen who are rearing cows. They need to be protected too.

”We Fulani have been cheated, myself in particular, all my cows have been rustled, and I cannot also go to the farm. And somebody will say there will be peace? I know many people will say Fulani are the bandits, kidnappers, this is how they have been frustrated. If you continue to talk about Fulani this way, they will not have peace and if they don’t have peace, you cannot have peace yourself.”
