RUGA Policy: Don't bring "bambi Allah" mentality to National discourse - Aisha Yesufu, co-convener, BBOG

A civil activist and the co-convener of Bring Back Our Girls group, Aisha Yesufu, has described the Federal Government plan to acquire lands for Fulani herdsmen  through the RUGA policy as promoting bambi Allah mentality .

She gave the hint while reacting to a tweet  by one Abdukadir Yusuf Kaita on Twitter on the RUGA Policy of the Federal Government, describing his comment as an attempt to sneak bambi Allah mentality into national discourse

In a apparent reaction to the suspension of the RUGA settlement scheme by the Federal Government, Kaita has queried the rational behind the decision.

According to Kaita, if the Igbo can own shops in the north, while can’t the Fulani have lands to rear their castles in the south.

Kaita said:

“If an IGBO can own a plaza in Kano, own a shop and houses in Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi and Katsina, why denying FULANI to own RUGA in south are they not Nigerians?”

Aisha Yesufu, in replying to the tweet, reminded Kaita that the “Igbo” bought those property he mentioned and did not wait for government funds before acquiring them.

Yesufu noted that there was no where in Nigeria where hausa have been prevented from begging  just like the Igbo trade in every part of Nigeria unhindered.

She wrote:

“The ‘Igbo’ bought it. The ‘Igbo’ did not wait for government. Don’t bring ‘bambi Allah’ mentality to National discourse.

“A ‘hausa’ has not been stopped from begging in any part of Nigeria. The way you see ‘Igbo’ trading in every part of Nigeria is the way you see ‘hausa’ begging.”

Bambi Allah mentality  is a beggarly mentality derived from its typical usage by a Hausa man when begging for alms. It is a way of pleading that Allah should answer the prayers of the individual from whom they are  seeking alms and bless them. It is often used in a song form, “àdúrà agbà, bambi Allah.” Bambi Allah thus connotes a dependency and entitlement mentality of the citizenry, akin to what President Muhammadu Buhari referred to last year.

See Aisha Yesufu’s reply below: 

The "Igbo" bought it. The "Igbo" did not wait for government. Don't bring "bambi Allah" mentality to National discourse. A "hausa" has not been stopped from begging in any part of Nigeria. The way you see "Igbo" trading in every part of Nigeria is the way you see "hausa" begging https://t.co/mm1dcLFSgV
