The conflict between native Tiv farmers and Fulani herdsmen in parts of Benue State reared its head again when two persons were reportedly killed by the Fulani herdsmen at Uvir community during a fishing festival at Ake Lake in Guma local government area.

Chairman of the local government, Hon. Frank Adi, who disclosed this yesterday while briefing newsmen on the occasion of his 100 days in office, lamented that the recurrent invasion of communities in the area by herdsmen was taking its toll on the socio-economic life of his people. Adi disclosed that one of the victims of the attack was a visitor from a neighboring local government area who came to savour the fishing festival but met his untimely death.

According to him, “In my first 100 days, we have embarked on several development projects across the council area, including the construction of a police station at Agasha, roads, refurbishing and rehabilitation of our offices and the improvement in staff welfare and security. ” It is pertinent to note that the essence of embarking on these development projects is to better the living condition of our people but they cannot enjoy these benefits in an atmosphere of skirmishes and crisis.

”That is why I eagerly call on the state and federal governments to create grazing settlements and routes for these herdsmen in order to stem the bloodbath and senseless killings of our farming populace”.

The chairman disclosed that four persons had been arrested in connection with the crisis, adding that security operatives had also been drafted to the troubled community to check further breakdown of law and order.

When contacted, the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Deputy Suprintendent of Police, DSP, Daniel Ezeala, said he was yet to be briefed on the fresh killings.

Soo man, you don't know that TIVS love it when Fulani/Hausa are killing then, it is something honourable for a Tiv man if killed by Fulani or Hausa.
To Sarduana Ahmed Bello and Fulani/Hausa, Tivs are their Slaves for Life, Sarduana Massacred many TIVS during his days, but till today Tivs praises and worshiped him as their god. go and Check.
Only people that don't want to see Hausa/Fulani are Beroms and Southern Kaduna people, they are Sworn Enemies for life.

You know nothing about the TIVS yet you boldly open that thing you call mouth to vomit nonsense. Please tell me when Sarduana massacred many TIVS and the exact place where that massacred took place. ... People like you who rejoice in other people's predicaments will certainly be consumed by such predicaments. Your life is full of hat-rates and frustration but am sure TIVS are not responsible for yourself inflicted pains.Even if all TIVS are killed by Fulanis that does not erase the fact that you are vanquish.

gabbrri: big fat lie

Go and verify, Sarduana Ahmed Belo and Fulanis bought the Tivs, these people are Slaves, they are properties of Fulani and Hausa. ok

man, i am telling you the history of this people, Tivs are personal properties of Fulanis, the reason they are killed and nothing happen to Fulanis,
Thousands of Tivs have been killed and chased out of their home by Fulanis and nothing happened to Fulani,
Answer this question, If Tivs are not Slave and properties of Fulanis, why are they been killed/ raped and nothing Happen to Fulani?

I find your post quite ridiculous. How would you reason that Tivs (or any other people) love to be killed by Fulanis/Hausa? Where did you get that notion from? Does it even make sense to you?
And just so you know, Tiv and Hausa/Fulani don't mix. That's why you'll hardly find a Tiv man who's a muslim, despite the fact that Tivs are termed Northerners. Although the strong Hausa caliphate, in connivance with British colonial masters tried to annex and bring Tiv people under hausa/ muslim domination, they met stiff resistance. A sarkin makurdi was even imposed on Tivs by the colonialists, but that didn't work, and that seat was cancelled after lots of riots and protests by Tivs.
Tiv land isn't the only place herdsmen cause trouble in Nigeria, and if Tiv men are getting killed, believe me, Fulani herdsmen, together with their cows, are losing their lives (Tiv people REALLY love meat!!! .-)

Toktee: Continue swiming in ur ignorant,very soon ur question will be answered

You are the one lacking knowledge, am waiting for your answer.I repeat to you again , Tivs are Fulanis slave for life and if you say it is untrue then tell me why Fulanis have killed thousands of Tivs and raaped your women still nothing happen to them?
The only people that are not Slave to Fulanis/Hausa are Berom people and they demonstrated that with their Action, today if Fulani/Hausa man/women sight any Berom coming they took to their Heels. nay liar i talk.?

chiover: Fulani = killing,molestation. We need to flush them out

We av to take it easy, cos if they r flushed there will b no (beef) protein in d market again.

Ever since Fulani enter Nigeria from the North,they have bin fighting wars, the made the hausa become,muislims,so did they do same to the Yorubas,bt had never enslave TIV,history states th@ TIV and Fulani met in region of the cameroun mountains and they fulanis named "Munchi" because the fulani gave them cattle to rear bt the ate the cattle rather,bt they was No fight,we all are educated and understnd how uncivilized those fulani men can be,it cud happen to any tribe in Nigeria,becos they are evri wia,4 me I neva fulani eva made slave of TIV pipu.

I don't know wia you got ur own history from, I want you to know that the TIV ar nt Muslims,fulani brougth Islam to Nigeria and yet the pipu u call slaves of fulani ar nt muslims, bt dos that wia enslaved by fulani wia all islamised hausa,and Yoruba

For your information, Moslem like it well well when they are enslaving Christians.

For your information, Moslem like it well well when they are enslaving Christians.

a real muslim believes that Jesus is a prophet they call him "ISA" bt the extremist are those u see and hear abt that enslaving christian nt all muslims,if u want go read the Qu ran,its stated that christian ar nt pegan,to those extremist christian are pegans and the want dem to repent or vanish from the surface of the earth
As a christian,I read the Bible and interpret it the way I want it, I might thou shall nt kill, mins evens plants don't kill, bt odas fink its only humans,odas
even animal and some wud say dnt kill anytin,
Truth is some muslim see christians as pegans and enslave dem as u say bt odas dnt

If they like let them call Jesus 'ISAkubar' nay their problem, one thing you have to know is, there is nothing like moderate moslem in Islam, all moslems are potential Terrorist and are ready to wear their suicide Belt any moment. keep on deceiving yourself that they call Jesus 'Isa'. if you don't know, know it now that Boko Haram is the face of Islam
