    It is #Revolution.

    It is #EndFulaniCaliphate.

    Fulani caliphate with its emirates nickname FG is dead.

    The fraud nickname Nigeria has fallen and gone forever- it is Yugoslavia of Africa. The six geopolitical zones are sovereign states.

    Kill fulani thugs nickname military and police on the streets, in their barracks etc. and take their weapons, Burn Down their barracks etc. and take their weapons for liberation of this territory natives from the bondage of fulani caliphate with its emirates.

    More than 99% members of the fulani thugs nickname military and police are brainwashed animals among this territory natives used by fulani cattle rearing touts from Guinea to defend the fraud nickname fulani caliphate with its emirates. Only the Sword decides.
