It was a great pity to see the unfolding events in Kogi state :i.e seeing the families of Fulani Herdsmen flooding in to occupy a vast area of the state which many years ago belonged and was occupied by the rightful owners who were gradually and systematically embarrassed,butchered,and intimidated to the point abandoning the area by this same herdsmen. This has always been the story of the movement of the Fulanis in history and this is one of the reasons they banned history in schools so that your children will always remain ignorant of historical facts and frames of references.
For those still in doubt of this the circle (harass, kill,intimidate,occupy & dominate)has been completed in Kogi state ,though the final stage of dominating neighbours will take a while with what we know of Fula expansionism.
All the communities that voluntarily welcomed the Fulanis also saw in time the same dynamic taking place. The question I ask those who are accepting colonies and other sorts of settlements in their area is this ; DID YOU READ THE HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE YOU ARE ACCEPTING? How did they behave in the place they are coming from ?
An Igbo adage has it tha "MADU ANAHI AHUCHIA ISHI NA ANYA OGAKWA KPO YA" That is =nobody would see blindness with his eyes and still accept to welcome it on his eyes... In simple explanation : you avoid what you already know will eventually happen.
A word is enough for the wise.
Read your history books or ask elders.
