Just look at the thread, it has been turned into an Omenka thread. cheesy

The Children of El Chapo, the developers of Lagos and Malaysia aka the Lost Tribe of Bangladesh, are obviously very angry. grin

That trouble they seek, henceforth, they shall find. They think I'm that flip flopper who backs down and "apologise" after they might have mobbed him on several threads. A very think skin is what I'm blessed with and I won't give them the satisfaction of stocking my hands in my pocket while they poke my eyes with theirs.

Fvcking El Chapo wannabes. grin

Because there are always two sides to any story but bigots like you only read one and make judgements . Were everyone to start taking revenge than no iboman will be alive again because we all will be killing ibos in revenge for every armed robbery we suffer or for everytime fake drugs kill our people. When Agatu people were killing 10000 cows , stealing thousands of cows and killing herdsmen in the process nobody was aware but the moment the fulanis stood up to defend themselves every fool found their voice.

Are you really from Benue? I mean, we are talking about our people been killed and their crops destroyed here. You can choose to fight and hate the Igbos, but they are certainly not our enemies. A hausa-fulani man is more likely to kill a Benue man than an Igbo man will even imagine the thought.

pls tell the robot...Omenka. Anyway he is not important.

Were fulani herdsmen not killing people before this administration?... Is Buhari the first northern president to rule Nigeria and will he be the last?... If Jonathan had won the election, wouldn't the presidency still have been revolved back to the north in 2019?.... Why do you jonathanians always display myopic reasoning on national issues?... Apparently in your head, fulani killing is a political justification why everyone should have voted your jonathan, and one would begin to wonder what GEJ did about the killings when he was president. Must you play politics with everything including human lives?

You guys should just grow up out of your infancy and sink it into your skull that GEJ has lost the election over a year ago and cannot lead Nigeria any more.

coolThe Fulani herdsmen crisis did not start during Buhari's presidency. It started in 2010 and the president at the time did NOT do anything about it. So be careful when you point fingers at Buhari. Learn your history and stop commenting rubbish. cool

We are saying that we are lacking food in Nigeria and some jihadists are busy killing the people needed most in Nigeria.
Which tribe in Nigeria can accuse the Idomas and the Tivs of harming them since we entered this union in 1994.

Buhari's name will forever be depicted by encyclopaedia britannica as the worst disaster that can happen to any nation. Tsunami and earthquake are now preferable to Buhari.

For God's sake this ingrate said he came to protect lives and roperties. if you cannot protect the lives of Igbos and Niger deltans for they did not vote for you protect Benue pple who voted for you then.

Buhari's administration killing the people that voted Buhari in 2015. The rejection of Buhari is the first step of wisdom, all who do so prove themselves wise.

Welcome to Northocracy: "govt of the north, by the north and for the north".
Fulani will kill in Benue, Daura State Seurity(DSS) will discover mass graves in Abia.


BTW! will mohammed become a christian before this development hits front page.

the question is simple, what do you have to say about your people that are being massacred daily by the buhari brothers? we need you to say something to that effect because if buhari's brothers kill my people in Delta state the same way they have repeatedly killed your benue people i would react either positively or negatively despite the fact that i support the govt like in your own case. but in your own case you are indifferent but will take side immediately you hear biafra or SS mentioned.

SPEECH PRESENTED DURING THE MAFO MEGA PEACEFUL PROTEST AGAINST BENUE KILLINGS ON APRIL 13, 2016
Ladies and Gentlemen,
INTRODUCTION
We are gathered here today as people that share a common pain and predicament under the auspices of MAFO.
MAFO is an acronym for Movement Against Fulani Occupation. It is a peaceful a coalition of Benue indigenes at home and in diaspora from all ethnicities and works of life, who seek to reverse the current situation of senseless killings, ransacking of villages and displacement of communities from their ancestral lands by Fulani herdsmen and their cattle.
Within the last three years, Fulani Herdsmen have carried out over 50 (fifty) major attacks on Benue communities the most prominent of them taking place in 15 out of 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Benue State namely, Agatu, Gwer East, Gwer West, Makurdi, Guma, Tarka, Buruku, Katsina Ala, Logo, Ukum, Kwande, Oju, Obi and Konshisha.
The attacks have completely overwhelmed the communities in these areas which are now desolate and devastated as they have suffered wanton destruction of their properties and lives including: burning down and general destruction of houses and homes, sundry household items, farms, crops, economic trees, vehicles, machineries, food stuffs, schools etc. Over 1000 people have been killed; hundreds of thousands displaced and living in deplorable make shift camps and properties worth billions of naira destroyed in their communities by these ravaging Fulani Herdsmen this year alone. All of these in the name of gaining and maintaining access for their cattle to graze. Human lives are being wasted to keep cows and goats alive.
It is for these and many acts of man’s inhumanity to man, including the raping of young girls and butchering of pregnant women and children that we rise to say, enough is enough.
OUR DEMANDS
1. Even though we recognise the right of fellow Nigerians to live freely anywhere within the boundaries of our sovereignty, we understand that this right is conferred on humans and not animals and also does not permit either people nor animals to trespass on landed property belonging to other members of the society.
Therefore, attempts to place the lives of cattle and other lower animals at par or higher value than those of humans is a breach of constitutional rights, likewise unauthorised trespass into people’s property. We hereby demand an immediate vacation of cattle that are occupying our ancestral lands all over the state.
2. The lackadaisical attitude of government in tackling this issue is condemnable. Response from security operatives have been skewed, poor, belated and at best very late. Consequently, the wanton killing, destruction of properties and occupation of communities, have continued unabated.
We make bold to say that the locations of Fulani Herdsmen that carry on these attacks are well known to the Police and the Nigerian Army and other security agencies but they have refused to accost them and prevent further attacks on their communities but have rather given seeming tacit approval to the large concentration of these Fulani militia in neighbouring communities particularly Nasarawa State which allows passage routes and has created safe havens for attackers of Benue Communities at the border especially coastal areas.
For example, on or about the 2nd day of January, 2016, the Benue State Police Commissioner, Paul Yakadi, said after unsuccessfully attempting a tour of Agatu Local Government Area that over 5,000 cows accompanied by armed Fulani herdsmen were occupying part of Agatu Local Government Area of the state. Yet the the Federal Government has failed and/or willfully neglected to apprehend these criminals.
The failure of the Federal Government to offer protection to innocent citizens is in violation of the sundry Human Rights as enshrined in Articles 3 4, 6, 16, 23, 24 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights. Consequently, we have filed a law suit against the Federal Government and other relevant authorities at the ECOWAS court in this regard and hope to follow it to a logical conclusion.
3. Suffice to also state categorical clear that we are opposed to the government’s plans to establish grazing reserves as a panacea to the security nuisance constituted by Fulani herdsmen. There are no grazing reserves in Benue State, we only have farmlands!
Creating grazing reserves to cater for the pastoral needs of Fulani herdsmen across the country is tantamount to forcefully taking land from indigenous farmers as lands are not sufficiently available for such projects. Therefore, anyone who intends to impose this pre-colonial concoction should be rest assured that it will be met with the strongest possible (lawful) resistance.
We will resist today, tomorrow and forever any attempts of establishing a square inch of grazing routes or reserve in Benue State. We don’t have any room for those here, neither do we place equal premium on man and beast as the Federal Government seem to be doing.
Rather, we demand a legislation by the Benue State House of Assembly that will abolish the free grazing of livestock, especially cattle within the boundaries of the state. This law, if passed, will encourage cattle owners, both indigenous and non-indigenous,to seek modern ways of doing cattle business by the use of ranches according to global best practices.
We acknowledge the efforts of the Benue State Government in this regard as pronounced by Governor Samuel Ortom during his visit to victims of attacks in Agatu, Logo and Tarka local governments, and urge lawmakers in the state assembly to work assiduously to bring this idea into fruition. In the same vein, we appeal to faith-based organisations, development partners, local and international donor agencies, non-governmental organisations, civil societies, public-spiritedindividuals and all other stakeholders and well-meaning Benue indigenes to support this move as a permanent solution to regaining control and enthroning peace over our lands.
4. We also demand the total disarmament of Fulani herdsmen through the amnesty programme of the Benue State Government as endorsed by the Federal Government of Nigeria as a matter of urgency. This we hope will ensure equity in the capacities of farmers and herders, and if the “carrot” period of mercy is over, we would love to see security agencies wield the big punitive “stick” on the perpetrators of terror in our lands - the Fulani herdsmen.
5. We demand 24 hours’ military surveillance of communities in the affected local government area and others that are prone to attacks to forestall further attacks and give displaced persons the confidence to return home. The State and Federal Government are therefore to work tirelessly in ensuring the reconstruction of ravaged communities and resettlement of Internally displaced persons.
CONCLUSION
As part of our campaign, we have chosen to shun the consumption of cow meat (boycott beef) and hereby urge all concerned Benue indigenes and beyond to do likewise. As long as cattle continue to be the bone of contention and decoy for Fulani marauders to invade, kill, destroy, occupy and graze cattle on farmlands in Benue communities, we will not consume their beef and its by-products in protest to the blood-letting in our land.
Cattle business is a multi-billion Naira empire, next only to crude oil in Nigeria. Our continuous patronage of beef enhances the economy which funds the purchase of ammunition and hiring of machineries that perpetrate the vicious cycle of invasion, killing, destruction, occupation to allow cattle graze on our farmlands, after which they are sold as meat to us. It only makes common sense that we reject this manipulation and insult in our collective personalities by boycotting beef. We will rather seek alternative sources of dietary protein which abound in our localities eg. fish, goat meat, pork etc.
Lastly, we sympathize with families who have lost loved ones in the carnage and restate our commitment to continue bringing succour to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) all over the state. We will not relent in our struggle until Fulani herdsmen and their cattle are put in their rightful place in the society, tucked far away from peaceful human existence and community life in Benue state.
We also want to thank those who have risen up to the challenge by donating relief materials to victims of attacks and our displaced brothers and sisters. This effort is highly appreciated. However, we call on you to join this movement as we believe it will rally the needed support to put an end to this anomaly.
Thank you.

I am not justifying any killing but am only saying that the killing is on the increase now and nothing is done about it other than the accusation of the host communities as culprits. Justice delayed is justice denied. Buhari needs to show empathy to these communities and talk sensibly with his people, calling them to order. Evil thrives when those in power refuse to act. I think you Buharians should know that everyNigerian'slifematter. Hope this will get you out of your dormant infancy and probably swim in your skull too.
