About the Fulani Herds Men

ABOUT THE FULANI HERDSMEN The idea of cattle rearing is beautiful but when grazing is done against the Peace cohabitation of the host community then there is need for a revisit of the purpose of grazing. Many life's have been lost in recent times with little or nothing done about it. Yes religious& tribal crisis had been on going before the Fulani herds men decided to take to different communities in a bid to graze their cattles on people's farm land. How pathetic can this be... My aim of sharing the article below is for us all to read up , speak up and rent the heavens there be divine intervention... The idle seat many Nigerians occupy is not good for a resolution. ...

Married Yet Searching? One noon while I was tucked in my work ,my phone buzzed incessantly and I was tempted to interrupt my work flow by checking who it was. To my dismay ,it was an old friend. He had sent me series of messages which included questions like: where are you ,Can we hook up, What have you been up to all these years, miss our friendship?
