To tell you the effort that has been invested in propagating hate & stereotyping the Fulani.
Here are some BHTs talking & lamenting in Kanuri language.
Yet till today, no one ( & RIGHTLY SO), has made allusion to any "Kanuri Terrorists", either in the Media or by commentators. https://twitter.com/TahaAdam_/status/1361585469251874818
The BH crisis has raged on for 12 years now. It started in Borno, with mostly Kanuri fighters.
No one attached any "Kanuri" or "Borno" qualifier to the menace. It was rightly treated as it was; a crisis!
But today, the Fulani 'moniker' is attached to every wrong & headline. WHY??
The earlier these useless Media bandits and their fellow crisis entrepreneurs rein in their bigotry & hate, the better for us all.
Rhetorics, framing & stereotypes like that are what led to the killings of innocent Northerners in Oyo recently.
Stop it before it stops us all!🙏
