fear is the beginning of wisdom.

if you can look for trouble then why are you scared to stand the fight. ewu. mshhhhwwww.

Kidnapping Originated In Igboland, But Are Kidnappers Called Igbo kidnappers?, It’s An Insult To Attribute All Killings To Fulani.

Call the criminals "criminals" not the entire tribe unjustly.

This is an attempt to terrorise Fulanis, I am sure that this a conspiracy engineered to undermine Fulanis. They've been in this situation for quite a long time, the non-fulanis especially the igbos have been Kidnapping them (Fulanis) thereby demanding the ransom of hundreds of cows and because they have no one to stand for them they always remain silent.

We will not tolerate any nonsense from grumpy thugs like FFK and co.

The Federal government must set up a judicial enquiry to trace the origin and direction of this political and social hoity-toity.

Kudos to Northern Governors Forum this is not time to remain silent.

anya my brother. Am not idoma. But i have countless number of friends that are idoma.

You are so on point. I was discussing this issue with some idomas and tivs in my area can u imagine some idomas that were not from agatu were not touched by what happen to agatu people as if agatu was in ghana. Is agatu not a faction of the idoma tribe?

So many. One even told one of my agatu friend that 'na una dey do wahala with fulani people abi'? An idoma for that matter.

Sincerely benue will be doomed if you people dont address this issue of i dont care attitude and e no consign me no be our side the thing happen attitude displayed by fellow idomas and tivs.

Idoma people have problem. They dont want to die but want to enjoy. They wanr others to die for them while they will be forming ajebutter to enjoy what others have suffered to die for.

Where are those worshipping aleku? Is aleku no longer working or powerful?

Yet these same benue people who claimed to love jesus dont are the biggest sinners. Gossippers bad biters bed belleism...enemies of progress using charms and killing people with juju yet they are calling jesus.

Anyone that has tried taking a goat from the market to his house will know how impossible it is for someone without the required skill to control 80 cows. ONLY A HERDSMAN CAN STEAL COWS. How will an ordinary farmer explain to people how he suddenly acquired 80 cows? A herdsman can easily mix the stolen cows with his existing herd.

Our journalists should exercise caution in their reportage.
So many of them are reporting lies thereby hiking tensions in different parts of the country
It does us no good as a country

that's what you get when people play politics with issues,there was a thread on this forum with pictures stating how 80 cattle was killed and 20 Fulani men killed. it was an obvious and blatant lie yet some Dumbo here where praising the people that carried out the act calling it an act of bravery forgetting that it could breed another violence....I pray we learn quick,if not we would be faced with a terrible situation anyways I leave close to the boarder,na to just cross with my wife and children.

You are spot on...these Fulani herdsmen are looking for reasons to attack..
80 cows are not easily pocketable.

Re: Another Attack Looms In Benue As Fulani Herdsmen Declare 80 Cows Missing, Finger by Abagworo(m): 12:12pm On May 04, 2016

Why declare war when you are not ready? Why kill their 80 cows and run away. The truth is that they will retaliate again if not now but in 5 years time when you least expect.

The herdsmen seem not to have spokespersons to give account of their own side of the story making it a field day for their opponents. I think everyone will react the same way as the Agatu herdsmen when a community deliberately destroys his source of livelihood. It simply means a declaration of war.

Finally the media should stop as soon as possible this herdsmen manipulation as it could lead to ethnic cleansing of not only Fulanis.

It's ok not to like a particular candidate but what is not ok is to malign or disparage some people who have chosen to pitch their tents with that particular candidate... not everyone is guided by religion and tribal bigotry, some just love the progress and stability of the nation and are not ashamed or willing to be bullied into not showing it.

It's also not ok to be specific and refer to particular people as cursed insane etc because they are pointing out that some issues in the public domain don't match up, seeing a disconnect between narratives and perception... some can see that the spike in nomads & agrarian communities is a clear departure from the usual & have no problem pointing it out..

The demonic plans of the enemies of this country will not prevail.

We have seen through their plot to instigate a full blown catastrophe just to stave off their incarceration for stealing the country blind over the last few years.

No one knows who the killers of the cattle are, it might well not be the people of Agatu, but that is the message they've fed the public and the cattle herders, so they can retaliate and we can have one reprisal after another, while they sit back in their coven to plot their next move.

In all of these, ignorant volunteer foot soldiers of the last admin who gained absolutely nothing from it have made themselves willing hands to those demons who'd stop at nothing to frustrate this government. They dispense, propagate and amplify distasteful news of this nature to stir up fear, anger, and hatred- all of which do them no fvcking good.

They hold logic and reason in contempt and criminalise truth while they extol the "virtue" of being a terrible liar! Yesterday, it was a picture of the so called killed cattle which turned out to be a picture of a ceremony taken from some distant African country. Today, it is a picture of a truckload of arms "confiscated" in Kano, destined for fulani herdsmen and it turned out to be a picture taken from California!!

Rationalising stupidity and sabotage is their stock in trade. Their excuse- "GEJ suffered the same". My prayer is that I hope all that carnage and death they wish upon innocent people of Nigeria simply because they dislike the president visits and abide with them in their respective households alone, amen.

Nigeria will live in peace now and forever.

You have a personal quarel with Idoma people? Fulanis will take you that they dread Agatu more than vipers. More Fulanis have been sunk at the Benue trough that Idomas. The latest one was the use of mercenaries and many of the dead bodies were believe to be carcases of the hired killers. It was reinforcement i a war like that made elderly, women and children to vacate their houses which made it easier for Agatu homes to be torched. Agatu is one out of about 25 districts in Idoma landand the spirit is one. All Idomas are one whether in Cross River, Nasarawa, Benue Or Enugu states. The Fulanis are hiding in Nasarawa state which can be over run by Benue in an all out hostility

They don't know how a full blown ethnic war is going to be. It is not Nairaland or blogdotcom but a situation where you will have to kill your best friend because he is not your ethnic group or he kills you. The casualty will be in tens of millions while some small ethnic grouos will be completely wiped off. There will no longer be respect for boundaries as whoever wins will subject the loser to slave status. This war they crave for will never affect the ruling class nor the billion clubbers like me who can easily continue comfort life outside the country. My only concern is for my distant brothers that will die for nothing.
