ATTENTION!!! SEE WHAT THIS FULANI BOY WAS DOING INSIDE THE BUSH WITH HIS COWS – YOU WILL BE TOUCHED (PHOTOS)
Things have changed as an average Fulani man is thought to be a
threat to whatever locality he is found. The recent killings and attacks
launched by the Fulani herdsmen have changed the mentality of
Nigerians.
People have become reoriented when it comes to receiving these people as they feel uncomfortable seeing them around them.
Even though things have gone sour in recent times, it would not
change the fact that they are Nigerians too. The hostility they have
shown to other Nigerians have made many people question their motive;
people are skeptical about the things they could do to them if they ever
get into their communities. That aside, there are some Fulani herdsmen
that are peace loving and calm; they are not violent like the others
even though their reputation is far gone. This young Fulani boy will
convince you and make your heart warm at the same time. Contrary to the
popular belief that Fulani people are illiterates who do not have any
inkling of interest in education, there are many of them who are
educated and doing well in their various chosen fields.
This picture was taken by a passerby who found the scenario interesting. He stopped to be sure of what he saw; he discovered the Fulani boy had a textbook named ‘Understanding Mathematics’ in his laps. Time management is a course everyone needs to take. This little boy has known at this early stage of his life that he could have other things done while the cattle graze on the farmland.
He is not going to force the grasses down their throats after all. This is his own quest for education. No one knows if he has access to education but it is interesting to know that he longs to be educated like the other Nigerians in the society. Do you have any word for this little Fulani boy?

Mr. Soludo has denied the claim, saying he acted right in his dealings as Central Bank boss.
Mr. Falana, in any case, said he construct his announcement with respect to actualities made accessible by the Central Bank amid Mr. Soludo's stewardship.
Read Mr. Falana’s full statement below:
On October 3, 2006, the Central Bank of Nigeria under the management of Professor Chukwuma Soludo gave a loan of $7 billion to 14 commercial banks in Nigeria. The loan was confirmed by the Head of the CBN Corporate Affairs , Mr. Festus Odoko when he announced that “deposits worth $7 billion representing the apex bank’s share of the foreign reserves estimated at about $38 billion has been released to the consortium of bankers.” (The Guardian newspaper of 5/10/2006)
Barely four days later, a respected economist, Mr. Henry Boyo challenged the illegal claim that the $7 billion was a “share” of the CBN in the nation’s foreign reserves. Since the funds belong to the three tiers of Government by virtue of section 162 of the Constitution Mr. Boyo rightly stated that “the Senate and the House of Representatives would have defaulted in their constitutional duties if CBN is not invited to defend why $7 billion of our reserves should be ‘given’ to 14 banks without oversight approval.” (Vanguard newspaper of October 9, 2006).
Having confirmed that the banks have failed to liquidate the said $7 billion loan I have asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate the illegality of the loan and recover same together with other huge funds which have been criminally diverted or withheld from the Federation Account. With respect, the denial of the $7 billion loan by Professor Soludo has supported the request for a thorough investigation of the allegations contained in my petition. However, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the controversial loan, Professor Soludo may wish to direct his demand for apology to Mr. Festus Odoko!

Those who stole Nigeria’s money recruited militants against me, Buhari alleges

The president who weeped over the condition of the country when he accepted office said: "The individuals who stole Nigeria dry are not upbeat. They enlisted the activists against us in the Niger Delta, and started to damage oil foundation. We lose a huge number of barrels every day, when each dollar we can acquire, checks. It is a disrespect that at least 27 states, out of 36 that we have in Nigeria, can't pay compensations."
President Buhari likewise told his group of onlookers that he had no motivation to gripe since he asked hard to God to make him president.
"Yet, I supplicated so hard for God to make me President. I kept running in 2003, 2007, 2011, and in 2015, He did. What's more, see what I met on ground. In any case, I can't whine, since I appealed to God for the occupation. In the military, I ascended from second Lieutenant to Major-General. I was military representative in 1975 over a state that is currently six states. I was head of state, got confined for a long time, and headed the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), which had N53 billion of that time in Nigerian banks.
"God has been great to me, so I can't gripe. On the off chance that I feel hurt by anyone, I request that God help me excuse. He has done as such much for me.
This was contained in an announcement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
The announcement peruses to a limited extent: "I am extremely satisfied with this meeting," President Buhari expressed. "Wherever you go on the planet, you find exceedingly able and extraordinary Nigerians. They not just have incredible effect on their host nations and groups, their money related settlements back home additionally help our economy, especially at such a critical time, when things are down.
"We got into inconvenience as a nation, since we didn't put something aside for the blustery day. For instance, somewhere around 1999 and 2015, when we delivered a normal of 2.1 million barrels of oil for each day, and oil costs remained at a normal of $100 per barrel, we didn't spare, neither did we create base. All of a sudden, when we came in 2015, oil costs tumbled to around 30 dollars for each barrel.
"I asked; where are the funds? There were none. Where are the railroads? The streets? Power? None. I promote asked; what did we do with billions of dollars that we made throughout the years? They said we purchased sustenance. Nourishment with billions of dollars? I didn't accept, and still don't accept.
"In many parts of Nigeria, we eat what we develop. Individuals in the South eat tubers, those in the North eat grains, which they plant, and those constitute more than 60 for every penny of what we eat. All in all, where did the billions of dollars go? We did a great deal of harm to ourselves by not creating base when we had the cash.
"Discussing our military, they earned appreciation serving in spots like Burma, Zaire, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra-Leone, and afterward, all of a sudden, that same military could no more secure 14 out of 774 nearby governments in the nation. Agitators had seized them, calling them some kind of caliphate, and planting their banners there; till we came, and scattered them.
"We raised the resolve of our military, changed the initiative, re-prepared and retrained them; USA, Britain, and some different nations helped us, and today, the pride of our military is reestablished.
"Boko Haram went crazy, executing honest individuals in holy places, mosques, markets, schools, engine parks, et cetera. What's more, they would then yell Allahu Akbar. Be that as it may, on the off chance that they really knew Allah, they would not do such underhanded. Neither Islam, nor some other religion I know of, backers harming the blameless. However, they shed pure blood, murdered individuals in their thousands. Presently, we have managed that uprising, and subverted their enlistment base.
"Following 16 years of an alternate gathering in government, no gathering will come and have things simple. It's human. We require quality hands to run Nigeria, and we will use them. I will jump at the chance to welcome you home when now is the right time. Be that as it may, I'll like you to be prepared."
