Nigerians Spit Fire Over Herdsman With Cattle Image On New Passport, Tell Presidency Not To Honour Terror
A cross-section of Nigerians has reacted to the image of a herder and his cattle on Nigeria’s new passport.
The new passport has had an inscription of a herder and his cattle on it and comes at a time when there are in the crosshairs of one of the biggest national calamities that have rocked Africa's most populated country in recent times. Hundreds of innocent citizens have been put to the sword as herders and farmers have clashed over the eminent domain of land while other herdsmen have openly turned rouge and have turned into either full or part-time bandits.
Needless to say, this revelation has been like pouring fuel on fire and Nigeria have reacted accordingly.
In fury.
Especially so on Social Media where it generated reactions from Nigerians online as they called out President Muhammadu Buhari over ‘alleged fulanisation’ agenda
Here are some reactions gathered from Twitter:
@Gbengaadeoti ” New Nigerian passport has Herdsmen picture inscribed on it. My question is, WHY? Hope we can see that the agenda of the Presidency is clear, no one is talking about this.”
@Casclement53 “Things are happening very fast in this second coming of PMB! In d new Nigerian passport, cows and Fulanis are now embedded.”
@Apostle_truth “Big shame to Nigerians, the same Fulani, and Cow in Nigerian passport are the number one enemies of Nigeria. Fulani is a minority in Nigeria, only Fulani politicians use the passport for travel Fulani is a terror to Nigerian. This was forced on Nigerians. ”
@Chichijethro “Fake pastor Osinbajo and Muhammadu Buhari are sponsoring the deadliest terrorist called Fulani criminal murderers by putting their photo and cows photo in Nigerian passport.”
@Obiakoconstance “Am I really seeing cows? This is 2019 Nigerian passport.”
@Dafemlions “This RUGA metamorphosis is no joke o. See the new Nigerian passport with cows and herdsmen printed on it?
@Ogazirim1 “Fulanization is not a joke. Look closely at the visa pages of the new Nigerian passport and see for yourself.”
@MrEnebechi “Nigerian passport, this cow thing is serious. Other countries are displaying technological innovations. Nigeria under Buhari is displaying a Fulani man grazing publicly and disturbing the whole country with cows. Where was our brain when we elected a village man as a president?
@Hhorlamilekan “When someone tries to show you one part of the NIGERIAN Passport to suit his/her own propaganda just show them this.”
@Okpala_pat “President Buhari showcased the new Nigerian Passport recently. Please Nigerians, check out the passport leaves. Fulanization and Islamization of Nigeria are being institutionalized.Change.”
@ChiChi “Osinbajo and Buhari sponsoring the deadliest terrorist group called Fulani herdsmen criminals murderers by putting their photo and their rubbish cows photo in Nigerian passport. We will boycott that passport till that terrorist group is removed.”
This anti Fulani stupidity by Igbos is becoming ridiculous. Fulanis are a part of Nigeria, and they're not the only ones represented in that passport, as I've been made to understand. We must stop this nonsense and move on to other issues, because we have Igbos all over the North working and doing business. We must not continue to put such Igbos in danger with this picking on Fulanis.
