It's a Jihadist operation to weaken our resolve against Fulanis who want to turn our farmlands to grazing lands.

Oga presidency did u hear pupils and students are running away from their schools in portharcourt. U guys should keep soldiers away from civilians. Thats how they do it in sane countries.
A pupil was just narrating how soldiers were parading their class with guns, why scaring our kids.
What crime did we commit to be southerners.
If u guys dont want us, if u guys hate us that much, then lets have our own country

What about an update on the herdsmen madness going on in Plateau State? Or your boss doesn't think a reasonable President ought to make a speech on that madness? Or is it because the Fulanis are not at the receiving end?

Tell your boss he's ended up dividing an already divided Nigeria further. Tell him their is something called Temperament and the nations(yes, nations) in this country perceive differently and he should employ wisdom in dealing with people.

Most importantly tell him Guns and the military cannot give anyone peace. Peace is not something a gun can buy. It is not something you instill with fear into the hearts of men. It is something you implant into the soul by justly appealing to it.

FELLOW SOUTHERNERS, OPERATIONS CROCODILE SMILE AND PYTHON DANCE ARE NOT SECURITY TRAININGS FOR THE ARMY, AS CLAIMED.

IT IS AN OCCUPATION OF OUR LAND BY THE HAUSA/FULANI JIHADIST ARMY.

THIS IS NOT THE ARMY WORTHY OF OUR CO-OPERATION AS RIVERINE PEOPLES.

PLEASE, DO NOT CO-OPERATE WITH THE JIHADS.

MY PEOPLE, THIS IS A JIHADIST ARMY OCCUPATION.

NEVER RENDER THEM ANY SUPPORT OF ANY KIND.

THE NIGERIAN ARMY, AS PRESENTLY CONSTITUTED, IS AN ENEMY OF THE SOUTHERN NIGERIAN PEOPLES.

TIME FOR AFONJAS, FLATTINOS AND IZONS TO CLOSE RANKS AND DEFEND OUR ANCESTRAL LANDS.

BUHARI IS A TERRORIST.

It is appalling. Men have no honour or sense of shame and political power raise the bar. No one has voluntarily resigned even with the GigaWatts of disappointment delivered.

In summary, the military is back! And it all started in 2016 with Buhari at the helm of affairs!

Military in democracy

Barracks is no longer enough for them to practicalise their training!

I have lost respect for the Nigerian military since they were quiet when the herdmen were killing innocent citizens and suddenly bold on innocent secessionist!

God who sees everything hidden will judge you guys!
