No Being or Ethnic Group Can Win Us in Nigeria – Fulani National Leader, Bello brags
The National Chairman of Fulbe, Fulani Development Association of Nigeria (FULDAN); Malam Ahmad Usman Bello, has declared that they cannot be defeated by any ethnic group in the country.
While speaking to reporters in Kano on Saturday, he said:
“Take it or not, Fulanis have remained unbeatable; no ethnic group can fight us face to face. Any ethnic group that fights us will learn a bitter lesson”
He, however, said it was in the interest of the Fulani, which he described as “the largest ethnic group in Nigeria and, indeed, West Africa” for all Nigerians to continue to live in peace and unity.
Bello noted that his people would be the biggest losers should a civil war break out, because they are more in number than any other ethnic group.
“It is in our own interest that the country lives in peace [and for the country] to be united. If anything happens in Nigeria, we are the ones to lose because we have more people than any other ethnic groups.
“When you have more people, if any war occurred, certainly we Fulanis would have more dead people to record. And we are not beggars as we are equally blessed with wealth.” He added
