Are you kidding me?
A security challenge that crosses States boundaries with a federal conspiracy ring to it is supposed to be solved by the governor?
The federal police who are supposed to protect people are under the control of the President who is either flying off to some foreign lands or keeping mute like a statue on relevant issues the few times he is around.
BTW, what are the governors supposed to do? They are not in control of any security agency as a matter of law for funding.
Even the US where state police is being practiced, a security challenge like this would have seen Obama vilified and bearing the bulk of the blame and him possibly losing political relevance.
I don't care how Lagos zombie crowd decide to respond to this crisis. They can choose to play politics for all i care.
I care about the lives of my people and your buhari is responsible for all the loss of lives and properties that happened in Enugu.

I think we the southerners need to unite and sponsor an apology to the fulani's on the frontpage of 3 newspapers so this killings can stop. Nnamdi Kanu caused these senseless killings by abusing the hausa fulanis on Radio Biafra and calling for their deaths. We should also support the grazing bill so these guys can graze their cattle in peace. The Fulani's are good and peaceful guys until Nnamdi kanu provoked them. We yoruba's are ready to grant them our lands for grazing. The igbos need to do the same for the sake of peace

Hagm0nd:
How did the police get wind of the youths meeting,for godsake such meeting arent done in the village square during the day
what did major igbo group do after the arrest
the likes of ipob,massob,bim,ohaneze

raumdeuter:
Cowards. They cant defend themselves na to come online make noise

If you read their online posts you would think they can defeat Russia in a war yet crying because of some rag tag Fulani herdsmen

One question for you: If you are the state governor, and you had just an hour forewarning that some terrorists would be attacking your people, what would you do?

Hagm0nd:
So the villagers knew they were to be attacked and they cant organise vigilante and arm themselves
imagine fulani telling the communities that their land belong to them for grazing,raping women and many more
and the slowpoke of a governor could only talk about prayer and fasting
this is what ipob should arise and confront not insulting yorubas
unless they are a bunch of cowards

if you remember that not more than a month before this attack more than 73 youths were arrested because they where discussing how to secure and tame the excess of those herdsmen. I am from that local government and the conflict did not start today but they had never attacked us with this magnitude. I think those herdsmen are backed by powerful persons from this government. if you follow the trend carefully, they firstly used the military to round up a lot of youth then on the day of the attack, the so called military personnel left for who knows where. then the said military surfaced when reprisal started.
I think Nigeria as a country should enshrine in our constitution the right for individuals to have their own firearms in other to secure themselves. why would a Fulani man be allowed to carry assault riffles but I would be arrested if a small pen knife is found on me. For my Governor saying the people should pray and fast,I just want to say he his a big fat fool.

[s]I would call the IG and the military to deploy the police and soldiers there. NOT before writing a strongly worded letter to the president due to the Inter-state nature of the crisis. [/s][s][/s]
Unfortunately, the security agencies and the president have proven to be either complicit or just incompetent. Which is why the governor regardless of how we look at it bears the least blame. He is guilty of naivety and political correctness.
If Fulani herdsmen ever cross Enugu again after this incident, then he should be impeached for gross incompetence.

The whole scenario seems fishy !!!why the community call for security for safety and they turned them down with ridiculous excuses and after the deed have been done they came to prevented the village from revenge , they could do better by preventing the massacred. This fulanis , are killing people because they have some governmental back up , is getting too much everyday by day. Buhari call your brothers in order.!!!!!!!!!.

Because we lack security, the Fulani come here and tell us the land is theirs. They tell the farmers to kneel down and they rape the women in front of their husbands.”


And some people are still supporting this government. #SMH.

RIP to the dead. There are two parties to this crisis. We hear your own side of the story. But since the Fulani don't seem to have a mouthpiece we need sincere answers to some questions. What have you people been doing to the Fulani as to be certain they were coming to attack you? Why you and not another communities? Has any of you killed any of them before or have you rustled their cattle?
There must be a reason for 500 Fulani men to gather and attack just one community and not their neighbors. Their attack have mostly been reprisal. Just seeking the truth.

You see why scores of people got murdered?

If I were the governor of Enugu state, and I've credible info like he had;

1. Safety first: emergency evacuation of the people at that instant (even if it is at 2AM).

2. Deployment of any arm or number of security forces under my control to aid and assist evacuation to a more secured location.

3. Mobilize all able-bodied men to be prepared to defend themselves along with the few number of security officers I have under my control.

You see why you and I are different?[i][/i]

HOW many security officers are under the control of the governor?
Evacuate thousands of people from their own state because of hundreds of foreign criminal herdsmen at 2am? To where exactly? A state that is supposed to be protected by the police.
Your policy is neither practical or even worthy of a governor who is supposed to be in charge.
There is a difference between pragmatism, realism, Cowardice and false hope.

tabontabon:
What Bothers Me Is That The Commissioner Of Police And His PPR0 Are Southerners.Moreso,The Governor's Excuse Of No Being In Control Of Security Agencies Is Rubish.
Because They Know How To Use The Same Security Agencies To Harass And Torment Opponents And Critics During Elections. Our Governors I Believe Have A Lot To Do As Chief Security Officers Of Their State.
