Children of the TIVID Orphanage Home and Global care for kids foundation have staged a peaceful protest against what they described as the unlawful occupation and invasion of innocent people of Benue lands as well as killing of Benue people by Fulani herders.
The children consist of those who were orphaned by Fulani herders in Agatu, Gwer-west, Guma, Makurdi and Apa local government areas of Benue as well as a few others from Nasarawa State.

Founder of the Orphanage Home, Mrs. Favour Adah Paul and founder of global care for kids foundation Amb Linda Orokpo Ochagla led the children from the Wurukum Roundabout through the streets of Makurdi to the State House of Assembly and terminated at the Government House where they were received by the state governor, Samuel Ortom.

In a chat with our correspondent, Paul urged the federal and state government to make laws to the effect that Fulanis should begin to ranch their cattle.

They lamented that the continuous occupation of Benue land by Fulani herders was posing serious threat to the Benue Agrarian nature as the farmers can no longer go to farm for fear of being killed by the rampaging Fulani herders.

"The Fulanis should ranch their cows and allow Benue people go back to farm. We want to be sure that our home is safe. Government should step in and make laws to this effect. Pregnant women and children are being butchered like cows by these Fulani herders at the slightest provocation. They should go away and let us have our peace."

Some of the children who spoke with our reporter including Solomon Sunday 9, and Mercy Oyigocho 14 in an emotion laden voice recalled how their parents were killed in their presence by Fulani mercenaries in 2012 and 2014 respectively.

The children called on the state and federal government to ensure that the fulani herdsmen ranch their cattle to forestall the incessant and mindless killings of Benue farmers and unlawful occupation of their land by the Fulanis to graze cattle.

Fulani herdsmen have no bussiness in this country, nigeria is not mali, neither bokinafaso, niger, or central africa, wen i was a kid use to admire herdsmen but not again!!! MR44 and OGA SEUN, i just complete my ban sentence and hit ftc, i dedicate this ftc to all catholic mothers

Are there any ways to fund local security men in Agatu? because a lot of people are willing to-or should be. In addition, what is the law in Nigeria regarding 'acquisition of weapon for security purpose'

We need people to start taking actions.

I wanted to select benue as one of my options for Nysc since it is the food basket of the nation but all these fulani killings made me change my mind make I no dey on top food mallam carry carry me shine

They should stop using kids for protest jor.

This is just the beginning....

You people should rise and fight stop using lil kids to rally and protest.
Shame to the men in that community afraid of northerners your master.
SHAME...
Trust my Igbo brothers they no dey fall hands...

Even the children are worried. These herdsmen have made enough orphans in just 1 year. Please Nigeria we are one. Let's act like one

God help dis children

supported...

they shouldnt wait till it gets very ugly

I just returned back from a 4 days banned simply because I type Abo.ki and nairaland auto changed it to a Northerners. Before I could know what is happening, seun and his mods sentenced me to 4 days banned. Its well..

To me those guys called fulani av no use in nigeria.

I dont know the one i will say now, i will be banned for the 3rd consecutive time, without enough time to abuse these murderers inbetween each banning session.
Well, i trust we Igbos... Fulanis and hausas, already know that we hate them, and will not hesitate to annihilate them, if they carry out any slightest onslaught on even the smallest Igbo village... You will see slaughtering of them, spreading all through the whole south eastern region. Let Benue people defend themselves... These herds men are just visitors, and are not very well knowledgeable regarding the terrains of Benue, compared to Benue indegenes... Unless, their men are ONLY called men, cos they av a peenis, that they can insert into their women's vaagina for sex!!!!!

On one hand, I like the fact that the children involved include the orphans from the massacre. On the other hand I am livid with the Benue people. If the FG wont protect you, why sit there and die like chickens?

What is wrong with the middle belt?

Op, pls put ur original source. Viviangist is not the original carrier of the news; thank you

another money making forum

Dis fulanis ar so annoying. They can't allow strangers in their own land. Yet they travel to other peoples land and desecrate it. #no peace for fulani herdsmen

whats this one saying ?

The elders and politicians in Agatu are cowards. It is shameful that they gave innocent children placards to protest on their behalf. No wonder the Fulani are killing them..........

Wait.. Who are They protesting to

Just a quick correction: Igbos don't hate the Hausas/Fulanis or any tribe for that matter. Igbos simply want an egalitarian society where you live and let live. Igbos believe in Justice. @topic,it's really difficult to comment on a topic like this without sounding like a round-about bigot. However,these Fulani herdsmen are not helping matters. Neither is Buhari. His deafening silence on all these makes one wonder if there's actually a strategic plan somehow to wipe out a particular people. Some might call this karma on the affected people,i choose to call it incompetence of the highest level on the part of Fg

Det naija 4 u

Looks staged

What exactly do these fulanis contribute to the Nation income box?

Fulanis are friendly people.....
People should stop hating the Fulani men.........Most of these atrocities are committed by non- Fulani, but as usual the blame goes to the Fulani man...

Minority tribes in Nigeria are confused. No matter how much you protest, Hausa-Fulani will continue their mayhem. Solution...divide this country as Nnamdi Kanu has said. I strongly believe if this country is divided, no sensible person from Benue will want to join North.

But Benue people chanted Sai Baba

Fulani and violence in north west Nig

Where in Allah's name is Buhari?
