Up until recently when a few members of the Fulani nomadic community began to show their violent side and lack of capacity to co-exist peacefully with their hosts, they had become an integral part of our society with no love lost, I remember when as a kid we sometimes give water or food to the young ones while they go about with their cattle near our area.
But the communal clashes between them and their host communities is not the main focus of this write-up. we notice that these guys are some of the smartest and fittest people around, I personally have not seen or met an overweight or obese Fulani herdsman before, these are not strange given the long distances they trek every single day with their cattle, aside this activity that makes these guys top of the fitness chain.... they also indulge in eating habits that should be a model for most of us the so called civilized populace.
They mostly feed on milk, proteins from ram, goats, and poultry - ( they don't really indulge in feeding on their cattle) and occasionally tuwo (rice). these guys eat low carb diets and they on point when it comes to moving their bodies. their longevity rates is outstanding, they live 20 - 25years longer than the average Nigerian.
In most clashes they have with their hosts, you will discover that they usually come out on top, this is not rocket science as they are mostly in better physical shape than the general populace. bless God they are not more of them compared to the rest of us, because if they were to be a survival of the fittest theory working in our time, they will clearly come out on top as the survivors..
