As we speak, there's a human disaster sweeping across the
Western Coast of Africa due to brutal violence being perpetrated by
Fulani cattle herdsmen against the indigenous farmers. The genesis of
this unfortunate disaster originally emanated from Nigeria. The Fulani
herdsmen, otherwise known as the Fulbe people, are historically nomadic
people, who breed goats and cows - and are fond of moving from place to
place in search of pastures for their herds. Lately, due to climatic
change in the world (global warming - if you will) the mostly arid
northern Nigeria has become too hot and dry, thus becoming unbearable
for both the Fulani herdsmen and their cattle. The need for the cattle
herders to move down south, which is more green and plush, has pitted
them against the indigenous farmers whose crops are being fed to the
Fulani's cattle and the farms destroyed in the process. In the ensuing
confrontations, Fulani herdsmen who are usually armed with deadly
weapons like the AK-47s, pump-action semi automatic guns, arrows &
bows, and machetes kill, maim, kidnap for cash ransom, and rape farmers'
wives and daughters. This phenomenon has become an albatross on the
neck of President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria (who himself is a Fulani
man); other places like Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Republic of Benin have
tasted the bitter medicine of Fulani herdsmen's violence. Recently, in
Benue state of Nigeria, more than 500 Agatu farmers were killed together
with their wives and children by the suspected Fulani herdsmen. The
Fulani herders' excuse for this heinous crime was that the Agatu folks
triggered the violence by killing more than 10,000 of their livestock.
Also, more recently, in the eastern Nigeria of Enugu state more than one
hundred lives were lost when the Fulani herdsmen invaded and sacked
about three mostly agrarian villages. This unfortunate incidence is
rampant and has continued unabated.
Ms. Hajara Adam is a female griot singer and recording
artist from Nigeria. She is a Fulani by birth; however, she herself has
been through untoward hardship in life. At the tender age of 13, she was
forced to marry a 65-year-old Fulani clan head in Kogi state of
Nigeria. As a victim of child marriage and sexual abuse, she did not
have the luxury of even common elementary education. Hajara can neither
read nor write a word in English - the lingua franca (official language)
of her country, Nigeria. Hajara has gone through life, so far, with
this biting social disadvantage. At the age of 16, after two male
children for the old Fulbe pedophile, she escaped into the heartland of
Yorubaland, with no education or vocation, to begin a new life with her
newfound freedom. After numerous abuses, penury, and near-death
experiences, Hajara, however found solace and strength in her ability to
sing and make good music. She is currently married to a Yoruba man. Her
style of music is like unto Youssou N' Dour, Salif Keita, and Oumou
Sangare, Ramata Diakite, Rokia Traore, and etc.
In order to stem this Herdsmen-Farmers' problem in the bud,
Hajara quickly entered studio and worked tirelessly on a peace-inducing
album. This album is entitled, “ISOKAN,” which means “Unity” in Yoruba
language. Her intention, as a Fulani woman, is to promote a continued
peaceful co-existence between her folks and other tribes in Nigeria, and
West Africa - by extension. We, at NPC Records.Audioworks, are a small
entity, however, we are trying our possible best to foment peace across
Africa, and other places in the world. Thus, when Hajara informed us
about her intent to promote peace by waxing an album for that purpose,
we were ready to support her.
Hajara was of the opinion that if a vast piece of land is
purchased and converted into a large ranch in choice areas across
Nigeria for the Fulani herdsmen to rear or breed their cattle on, this
will reduce the constant deadly confrontations between the farmers and
herdsmen, and maybe, ultimately stop the spate of violence and killings
going on right now across Nigeria and West Africa. To achieve this
laudable project, Hajara has decided to use this album to rally people
to the cause and eventually float an NGO, which would undertake the
purchasing and building of ranches for the marauding Fulani cattle
herders (her own people) to farm their cattle on.
In order to garner instant awareness for the project,
please, assist us to make this possible by purchasing or downloading the
album via BoomsPlay and other numerous digital distribution channels.
It's the aim and objective of the NPC Records.Audioworks - a Bioku
Holdings Company
to help Hajara foster peace between her Fulani folks
and other Nigerian/African tribes who are constantly in deadly
cross-hairs with one another.”
