"I am raising this alarm now because the effect of this dangerous trend may ultimately balkanise Nigeria and affect sub-sahara Africa"
"Similar alarm was raised in the defunct Yugoslavia and sadly, nobody put in check the pogromists, whose actions, led to the massacre in that geographical location"
"This lackadaisical attitude by those benefiting from this national malaise led to the Bosnian War which began in 1992 and lasted until 1995.It was an international armed conflict that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995"
The Fulani herdsmen and terrorists pushing Yoruba to the limit - Adams
Adams also alleged that various atrocities are perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists, saying they’re pushing the Yoruba to the limit.
The letter also alleged that the Fulani in Nigeria are now engaged in a war of attrition in the country, citing President Muhammadu Buhari being a Fulani man as the irony of the situation.
"Ironically, Nigeria's President is a Fulani. The Fulani have been fingered in abductions, kidnappings and killings in the North. Now, they are gradually moving down South and the danger is that people in the South are already determined to engage them. This might lead to full-scale war.
"In the last few weeks, these Fulani terrorists have expanded their evil network."
