  • Economic Effects of Fulani Herdsmen-Farmers Clashes in Nigeria
    Science Arena Publications Specialty Journal of Politics and Law Available online at www.sciarena.com 2017, Vol, 2 (1): 1-11 Economic Effects of Fulani Herdsmen-Farmers Clashes in Nigeria Eme Okechukwu Innocent1, Ugwu Christian1, Richard A. Onuigbo2 1Department of Public Administration & Local Government, Division of General Studies University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Email: [email protected], [email protected] 2Department of Political Science Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu Email: [email protected] Abstract: The objective of this paper is to examine the economic cost of Fulani-Farmers Clashes on the populace in general and the nation’s economy in particular. This is because insecurity and its various multifaceted manifestations like bombings, cattle rustling, farmland destruction, kidnapping/hostage taking, destruction of life and property, creation of fear among others has become a hydra headed monster which security agents in Nigeria appear incapable of addressing. Bloody clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers over grazing lands have led to the killing or maiming of people and razing down of houses as well as food storage facilities. The herdsmen claimed that they are the original owners of the land in the agrarian areas. According to them, the natives had sold it to them for their cows to graze. This is an allegation the farmers have consistently debunked, saying that the land was never at any instance sold to the herdsmen and that the cows damage their crops while grazing. Cattle-rustling has also been a major cause of unrest as cows are stolen by criminal-minded youths. This scenario has played out many times in Guma, Makurdi, Gwer West, Agatu, Logo, Kwande, Buruku and parts of Kastina-Ala local government areas of Benue State.

  • The Fulani Jihad & Its Implication for National Integration
    An International Multidisciplinary Journal, Ethiopia Vol. 5 (5), Serial No. 22, October, 2011 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070--0083 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/afrrev.v5i5.1 The Fulani Jihad and its Implication for National Integration and Development in Nigeria (Pp. 1-12) Aremu, Johnson Olaosebikan - Department of History and International Studies, University of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. E-mail Address: [email protected] ℡+2348032477652 Abstract The Fulani Jihad (1804-1810) led by Shehu, Uthman Dan Fodio was successfully prosecuted against the established Hausa dynasty in Northern Nigeria. It led to the emergence of a theocratic state, the Sokoto Caliphate, which was administered largely as a federation, due to its wide expanse and diverse composition of its people. The causes, management and impact of the Jihad as well as important lessons for national integration and development in contemporary Nigerian political life form the basic themes of this paper. Key words: Jihad, Integration, Theocracy, National Development, Caliphate Introduction The Fulani Jihad (1804-1810), had its heart and beginning in Gobir. It should be noted that the very essence of the Jihad against established Hausa dynasty was in itself a revolution in relationship between the Hausa and the Fulanis. It is informative to note that Islam was introduced into Hausa land about the 14 th century by foreign Mallams and merchants, such as Wagara Arabs and the Fulanis (Adeleye 1971:560; Afe 2003:23; Hill,2009:8). The latter group (Fulani’s) was said to have migrated over the centuries from Futa-Toro area Copyright © IAARR 2011: www.afrrevjo.com 1 Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info Vol.

  • Deforestation in Gombe and Environs
    International Journal of Research in Geography (IJRG) Volume 4, Issue 1, 2018, PP 37-44 ISSN 2454-8685 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-8685.0401006 www.arcjournals.org Human Actions and Environmental Reactions: Deforestation in Gombe and Environs Y. U. Ahmad1,*, Yahaya I.1, Bilkisu Y. Ahmed1 1Geography Department, Gombe State University, Gombe, Gombe State, (Nigeria) *Corresponding Author: Y. U. Ahmad, Geography Department, Gombe State University, Gombe, Gombe State, Nigeria Abstract: Deforestation refers to the depletion of three crown cover to less that 10% of its original state in any given area. When this happens, the damaging effect on the ecosystem can be enormous. The menace of deforestation in Gombe is the second major ecological problem after erosion that is threatening the area. This is so because majority of the populace resort to the utilization of woody biomass as a result of widespread poverty and also because of the over dependence on the sale of fuel wood as a means of livelihood. In addition the teeming population of the area depends on woodlands as their source of energy for cooking. As such hundreds of different tree species found in Dajin Akko and environs are completely cut down on a daily basis. The research discovered that over 35-40 loads of pick-up truck (locally known as Akori-kura) are being brought into the metropolis daily. The research focuses on the relationship between population increases due to state creation in 1996, and fuel wood price increase as a result of increased demand for fuel wood. The study shows that over 80-90% of households rely on fuel wood for cooking leading to serious environmental problems such as: loss of biodiversity, dusty weather conditions, threats to cultural survival of the populace and deforestation.

  • Herdsmen Terror in Nigeria: the Identity Question and Classification Dilemma
    American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2020 American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS) E-ISSN: 2378-702X Volume-03, Issue-03, pp 10-25 March-2020 www.arjhss.com Research Paper Open Access Herdsmen Terror In Nigeria: The Identity Question And Classification Dilemma PROF. CYRIL ANAELE Department Of History & Diplomatic Studies Salem University, Lokoja – Nigeria Phone: +23408068683303 *Corresponding Author: PROF. CYRIL ANAELE ABSTRACT:- Nigeria in recent years is a home to diversities of terror restricted to specific geo-political zones. Of all these terrors, non cuts across the country as that of the herdsmen. The herdsmen like invading Mongols leave deaths and destructions in their wake. Certainly and troubling too, is the government’s unwillingness to classify them as terrorist gang, but instead is dangling on classification dilemma. This too, has created identity question, on who actually are these herdsmen and their exact identity. Government has chosen to identify them as herdsmen and sees their killings as precipitated by conflict over land, between herders and farmers. The paper rejects government’s position that the herdsmen are not terrorists; and their activities as conflict over grazing land. To the contrary, the paper argues that the herdsmen are Fulani (in and outside Nigeria) hundred percent Muslim, and their terror fundamentally linked to causes beyond competition over land. It adopts the Samuel Huntington (1996) and Healy “Multiple Factor” theory for its theoretical framework. In methodology, it relies on primary and secondary data, using historical unit analysis for the presentation. The major findings of the study are, (i) the herdsmen are Fulani, (ii) their orchestrated violence across Nigeria is naked terrorism anxiously waiting to be listed as domestic terrorism before it morphoses into international terror (iii)the overall objective is Islamisation and Fulanisation of Nigeria.
