Just 14 days ago in abia state, many fulani people were killed and some were even buried alive. What did nigeria media outlets do, they all downplayed it and some were even insulting DSS for bringing such discovery to limelight

asha80:
common ground should be these Fulani herdsmen should henceforth stop entering into peoples' farms for their cattle to graze...it is archaic...they should buy lands(what they are doing is a business) and feed their cattle...end of..

fiizznation:
Yes I know they farmers are no their lands. But my friend do you think is actually proper for the farmers to kill any herdsmen just because their cattle encroached their farms? It is not right. Take for instant what happened in plateau state some years back. Do you know that the berom people just woke up one morning and started killing Fulani people just because a lady had some misunderstanding with Muslims at the Friday mosque praying ground. The killing of Fulani went on with even the support of the then governor Joshua dariye. Nobody talked about that but the moment Fulani people took their own reprisal attacks, the media houses started painting the Fulani people as the villians.

We just all have to find a common ground in finding a lasting solution to these problems, but politicizing it won't help anyone

@fizznation
u lie dear. In my husband village these blood suckers killed an innocent boy who went to farm but they were surprised when youths of d village regrouped and brought out their own guns and killed two of them and cows. Could u believe before my pple got to d police station this pple have already gone there to blow lies but in the end they got it real hot. So in your own words who attacked first .

Did you just said that how many herdsmen are killed? My friend you need to check your head and your conscience. So a herdsman life doesn't matter because he is not a being? Playing the victim card won't resolve these issues. Do you even know there are some communities in west Africa who kill Fulani people and use some parts of their bodies for fetish things? Look all these things are not new news, the have been happening and media houses don't talk about them.

fiizznation:
People have to be careful. If you think you are dealing with the average Nigeria fulani/fulfude group then you people should better wake up. I'm a Fulani man and I know what I'm talking about. These herdsmen carrying out all these atrocities are dangerous herdsmen from other Africa countries e.g chad, Niger, Sierra Leone, Gambia, guinea, Senegal, Mali etc. Normally they rarely attack any community until they are attacked first and they don't understand anything called fair play. They have a very wide network that cuts across the entire African continent.

My problem with the hypocritical Nigeria media houses is they hardly report any killings of these herdsmen by the local community, but the herdsmen reprisal attacks are always reported. To me this is insensitivity. We all know how innocent Nigeria herdsmen are killed everyday by the locals, but nobody wants to talk about that. The agatu people killed many innocent Fulani herdsmen before the herdsmen reprisal attacks, but how many media houses reported that? All we were hearing was Fulani ransacked agatu community.

People should be careful, if you think these herdsmen don't get to hear news about how their fellow brothers are killed and their cattle rustle, then we are not serious about solving this crisis

You made a nice submission. We should also not forget that the atrocities of these herdsmen are not only restricted in the south, but also in the Northwest. The northwest governors stood up and tackled the problem head on. That's when relatively peace was established between the herdsmen and the farmers.

Politicizing every issue is not always the best way to solve that issue

The herdsmen especially the ones coming from neighbouring countries are also giving us serious problems. My dear the issue is not about who attack first but how the clashes can be resolve. I believe we are all civilized people

Your claim about Berom people of plateau state killing fulani herdsmen reeks of nothing but blatant lies. So this is how you guys go about spreading lies to support and encourage violence and destructuion against the good people of plateau state Well for the benefit of nairalanders who may not know what happen that day, let me relay the story:
The incident that led to bloody clashes in Jos on september 7, 2001 was a calculated attemp to take over Jos north local govt by northern fulani elements.
It happen on friday around 1pm in the afternoon along bauchi road when a lady was passing by. At that time muslims blocked the main road to commence their usual friday prayers. The lady in question apparently late to her destination tried to sqeez herself through the available space left at the back of the road to get to the other side. As she was passing through, she was blocked by mean looking muslim youths. They began pushing her, threatening her to get out. Surprised by this, the lady said she was only trying to pass through the available space to get to her destination. But before she knew what was happening, these youths then brought out their weapons thretening to kill her. The lady obviously shaken by this raised alarm to passers by to what was happening. Before you know it, more armed youths lunched themselves from the muslim crowd, positioned themselves at different sides of the road and started hacking passers by with matcheds killing them indiscriminately, setting shops, cars and houses on fire. Students on their way home after lectures from University of Jos, bauchi road main camp were also caught in the cross fire by these muslim youths. My cousin who was a student then almost lost his life. My uncle who at that time lived in angwon rogo was killed by his muslim neigbours whom he thought are his friends in front of his house. As I speak to you now, his body had never been recovered.
That was how the jos 2001 crisis started. Now if i may ask, why were the muslim youth at bauchi road armed with weapons on prayer ground (actually not a prayer ground but a federal road) For muslim youths who claimed to be praying to observe their weekly jumad service, why did they have weapons on them Could it be that they were just looking for the tiniest provocation to commence a jihad Did that lady who was in a hurry to get to her destination a justification to unleash violence and bloodshed on innocent passers by I leave that for nairalanders to judge.
Before you think am making up this story, I'am a resident of Jos.

Yujin:

You are 99% correct. I was in Jos that same time too. I saw horror that has changed myself forever. The heart I have today was moulded by what happened then and thereafter. These men are beasts that deserve no mercy. Its even your own neighbours that will point you out for slaughter. Such demons like the hausa/fulanis I've never seen. No provocation whatsoever.

The only people that deserves this menace are those that voted the fula dullard of daura. I do not sympathize with them anytime fulanis send their farmers on a quick march to benin republic. They know themselves.

Very terrible incident. Our home then was full to the brim with relatives who came to our house after their houses and properties where burned and destroyed. My uncle's wife then who came never knew the werea about of her husband. It was after some weeks that it dawned on her that he was killed along others in angwan rogo area.
The unfortunate thing is that these merchants of violence have backers from security agencies to cover their diabolical activities.
Enugu residents must be on alert at all times day and night. These merchants on death are on genocide mission.
