Ghana and Nigeria, two countries facing wanton killings of farmers and settlers by Fulani herdsmen are approaching the same problem differently.
Ghanaian police and Army has given a 'shoot at sight' order at any herdsmen that attempts to kill a Ghanaian.
Nigerian government is telling her citizens to embrace peace always before during and after any destruction or killings by herdsmen! Strange?
Ghana's security apparatus has an order against any Fulani herdsmen that destroy anything.
Nigeria's security apparatus is always waiting for order from Abuja to stop killings by herdsmen.
Fulani herdsmen in Ghana obey court orders. They left Agogo community following a court order.
Nigerian herdsmen do not care about any grazing law. Their cattle can eat or destroy anybody's crop and grass.
Ghana is moving Fulani herdsmen out of locations and towns where they have caused killings in the past.
Nigeria's government is asking for cattle colonies in the same regions where herdsmen have carried out havocs close to genocide.
Fulani herdsmen are living the communities where they misbehaved like Agogo community in Ghana.
Fulani herdsmen are moving more deeply into inner Nigerian cities where they are not wanted.
Ghana's police chief sees herdsmen killings as terrorism.
Nigeria's police chief sees herdsmen killings as communal clash.
Ghana's president and judiciary speak for safety of lives first with a counter attack against killers and destroyers.
Nigeria's traditional leader speak for survival of cows blaming security agencies-not herdsmen.
Fulani herdsmen in Ghana are begging President Nana Akufo-Addo to temper justice with mercy with respect to their flush out.
Fulani herdsmen state their position in Nigeria insisting on theft of cows as reason for settlers killings.
Ghana's president set up a taskforce to wipe out excesses of Fulani herdsmen which is yielding results already
Nigeria's government is always setting up juicy peace and reconciliation meetings that leads nowhere.
Money allocated for the Ghanaian taskforce to check the excesses and killings of innocent citizens is not only in good use, but also yielding results.
In Nigeria, the 100bn allocated for grazing routes disappeared amidst the governors involved!
Ghana is using force to compel erring Fulani herdsmen to comply with constitutional law and order.
A Nigerian governor is using huge bribes to pacify Fulani herdsmen to comply with constitutional law and order. Same money that will be used to buy AK47s to kill more farmers.
So Fulani Herdsmen are begging for help in Ghana. If all these are so, can someone tell me why it wont be the wisest decision for the Fulani Movement to tell all their members in the west African savannahs to relocate with their cows and guns to their conquered lands in the 'Niger Area' where visas and passports won't matter when moving in,where traditional rulers will fan you safely by blaming security apparatus and not herdsmen?
Former Head of State, Gen Sani Abacha once said: ‘If insurgency lasts in any country more than two weeks, then the government must have hands in it”. I plead with you that you get a voters card today and vote poor governance out on election day. Stop leaving the leadership of this country in the hands of only market women, area boys, almajiris, students and bribed fellows. Woe unto that kingdom whose kings are kids. Woe unto that country whose leaders are vagabonds.
