Hausas are actually the biggest victims of banditry.
There is a huge gap between Fulbe elites and the ones in the bush. Elites live in a bubble and are rather detached to what's happening at grassroots level. Should they be criticised for not doing enough? As a general rule, yes, privileged elites could have and should have done more to educate their ignorant folk, condemn jahiliyyah practices, promote lawful opportunities for nomadic communities, and inculcate good character among the youth.
Rural Fulanis have certainly been targeted by bandits also, but Hausa communities have suffered the most.
The insane frenzy to blame an entire ethnic group assumes homogeneity and a grand conspiracy, as though every member of an ethnic group thinks and believes the same thing and get together to plan over Whatsapp or Tiktok every day. People on this app enjoy polarised, binary thinking. Their unfortunately narrow minds ignore that there are also indigenous Fulani Christians in Nigeria and that there are heated differences of opinion even within a single family, let alone within one of the most widespread tribes in West Africa.
Sarkin Gobir was begging for his life. But these Fulani Children KILLED him.
Kai in banda Duniya ta lallace, ka isa kaje Kasar Bawa Jan Gwarzo kayi wani Iskanci?
Kada wani ya rudeka da Addini, a zalunceka wallahi. Idan Fulani yayi ta’addanci, ka kira sunanshi, haka idan Bahaushi yayi ta’addanci, ka kira sunanshi.
Sometimes it feels as though the North is cursed. The controversy surrounding G-Fresh’s marriage is attracting more public attention than the kidnapping of students in Zamfara.
Every Nigerian life matters equally. The pain of a farmer in Zamfara, a student in Katsina, or a trader in Sokoto should carry the same weight as anyone else’s.
But if we’re being honest, Northerners have also become too accustomed to the insecurity around us. We mourn, then move on. We rarely sustain the outrage, pressure, and advocacy needed to keep these tragedies in the national conversation.

Ajegunle, Lagos, on December 15, 1999, during the period when the OPC was burning the homes and properties of Hausas in Yoruba areas. The situation became so severe that non-Hausa residents began marking their houses to prevent them from being attacked.
As you can see, the owner of this house wrote “IGBO MAN HOUSE”, indicating that the house belonged to a member of the Igbo ethnic group.
