Outspoken standup comedian Alibaba in his Instagram message has labeled Fulani herdsmen as the most powerful force in Nigeria.
He affirmed that they were the only ones who could kill, destroy and walk away without prosecution. The convener of Alibaba’s Spontaneity called them the power brokers in Nigeria. In his words, they are more powerful than oil and gas moguls as they can do whatever they want and get away with it.
The showbiz entrepreneur took to his Instagram page @alibabagcfr sharing picture of a Fulani herdsman with his cows .
According to him:“These are the new power brokers…. not those in oil and gas.If anyone in oil and gas sends anyone to beat up… not kill… just beat up, they will see what is called the long arm of the law.
“But these guys? Powerful. They can walk all over your cassava farm, burn down your houses, raise down a village, kill the villagers… and walk off.
“And they only carry a stick. Just a stick. If you say who is is more powerful, security agencies or these cattle rearers… heads or tail… herdsmen!!!”
