THE HAUSA FULANI INTELLIGENTSIA & SOUTHERN KADUNA

Southern Kaduna is not Kaduna South Senatorial Zone but 11 LGAs where God located diverse ethnic groups South of the Southernmost Hausa City call Zaria. Majority of Southern Kaduna people are Christians.

The Fulanis have tried to no avail to convert these ethnic groups to Islam but couldn't even with the establishment of an Emirate call Jama'a Emirate in Kafanchan to ensure tribe around that area are converted to Islam.

The 2006 censors gave Kaduna State a Population of 6m, the 3rd after Kano and Lagos. When you add and sum up the population of the 11 LGA that made up Southern Kaduna you will get a Population of about 3m people.

Southern Kaduna People are the most educated people in the entire Northwest. Kaduna State is the 4th educationally advantage state in the North after Kwara, Benue, Kogi and definately it's not the Hausa Fulanis that made that possible but Southern Kaduna people.

Fulani Herdsmen Targeting FCT - Army Raises The Alarm, Distress call saves community as troops continue onslaught on terrorists

The Nigerian Army  yesterday raises alarm that the herdsmen that have been attacking and killing innocent people in some states in the north are targeting the Fedral Capital Territory, Abuja, the seat of the government. 

The Military cautions the populace against identifying with them. Fulani herdsmen, who have been operating under the cover of the night, according to the military, were hired by some unscrupulous faceless people to unleash terror on the populace.

The terrorists have killed about 2, 000 innocent people in the last few weeks. Security forces have been dispatching troops to Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau states at the directive of President Goodluck Jonathan. Some top officers that were sent to Benue on fact-finding mission were said to have written a damning report that showed that the herdsmen were coming into the country from the neighbouring countries to attack, kill and destroy.

Ukrine Crisis: Crimea Belongs to Russia, Putin Should Annex Eastern Ukraine Too - Fani-Kayode

           Support for Russians Gains More Momentum

 Claiming that the Crimea is not Russian is absurd and it betrays nothing but ignorance says the former Nigerian minister, Femi Fani- Kayode while reacting to the Ukrainian-Russian crisis in Crimea peninsula. 

According to Fani-Kayode; "it is rather like saying that the people of the city of Ilorin and it's environs in Kwara state and the people of Kabba, Yagba-West, Yagba-East, Mopa-Amuro, Ijumu and Kabba-Bunu local government areas in Kogi state respectively are not Yoruba and that those areas are not part of Yoruba land".

"Historically the Crimea has always been part of Russia and 70 per cent of it's population are not only ethnic Russians but they also speak nothing but the Russian language. There are also massive and substantial pockets of Russian populations in eastern Ukraine."

It is absolutely absurd for anyone to assume that the Russian Federation would sit by silently and allow the lives, the future and the fortunes of their kinsmen from those parts to be in any way threatened. I am therefore in total agreement with the actions of President Vladimir Putin of Russia in the Crimea. 

The former Minister said Russian Putin has done the proper thing in protecting the Russians' interests and that he need to go further to annex the Eastern Ukraine as well.
