The Rascality Of The Fulani Is Engineered By The British Government

Some always wonder how the Fulani made it to the top in Nigeria; whereas they are only visitors and weren't as successful in any other place they encroached except in Nigeria. The truth is that the Fulani did nothing exceptional. The British government made it possible for them. It have been the British government all these years.
Some say that the uneducated North are in charge and have ruled more than the educated South. It is all orchestrated by the British government. The only way the British can control their colony is to empower the less educated among the regions in order to depend on them. Using an uneducated tribe who were also visitors like the British colonists sounds more appropriate. The visitors who have been prepared for leadership will be eternally happy and will be ready to do what ever that is required of them. That's how the superiority of the Fulani started.
The intelligent Zik was relegated and made a ceremonial President, while a Fulani man who is less educated became the prime minister. The British government was comfortable to rule in his stead. The leadership of the Fulani brought underdevelopment, but Britain found a way to placate the other parts of the North; hence, they saw themselves as the Masters marginalizing the East. Even when they live in abject poverty, the feeling of ruling over an Igbo man makes them happy.
When the war came, same Britain saw it as an opportunity to put the sagacious Easterners down completely. BBC started ranting that the coup is an Igbo Coup. That's when the North and West were all represented in the coup. The counter coup came. More than 300 Military officers from the East were murdered. More than 50,000 Easterners were also killed. Efforts were made for peace to return. Aburi peace talk was constituted and agreement reached. But Britain doesn't want that agreement to hold. The agreement will hand over the control of oil resources to the hands of the smart Easterners, who are the original owners of the resources. The British government doesn't want that either.
Something must be done. They had to sell to the illiterate North the propaganda that they will become automatically poor if they let the agreement come to fruition. The North who wasn't educated enough to understand the power of agriculture believed the lie and unfortunately still believe in it till this day. Many countries are supper rich, thanks to Agriculture. Brazil is one of such countries. Today, the same North have precious stones and other natural resources hidden bellow their earth surface.
Yakubu Gowon, the pupet of the Fulani was advised by Britain to rather divide Nigeria into states, than succumb to the agreement reached at Aburi.
That's how Britain played the country into a war. They knew that the East won't accept. But they have the weapon and they are ready to use the Fulani to commit genocide against the East.
The war came. The British unleashed their might on Biafra. It is an opportunity to decimate the Igbo nation whom they perceived as a major threat in the Eastern region as of then. While the genocide continued, they kept using misinformation to confuse the world and hide the atrocities they are committing in Biafra Land.
One wonders how the world keeps mute as Fulani herdsmen ably supported by the Nigeria government kept killing and sacking indigenous people. Today, even the conquered territories in the North are not left out. The Fulani is using their herdsmen to kill them.
The rascality of the Fulani in Nigeria is incubated by the British government who want to use them to keep controlling the resources in Biafra Land.
