Tragedy is unfortunate. As decent human beings we should never politicise tragedy. However, if you've followed trends in Nigerian politics, you'd realise that its deeply embroiled in our failed system. The last administration suffered dearly from this, and this one rightly should. However, I just want to point our a few remarkable tragedies that have been more or less overlooked by us during this administration.

1. ZARIA MASSACRE
The Zaria massacre was a massacre carried out by the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria on Saturday, 12 December 2015. Up to 348 Shiites, including members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria were killed.

The Army claimed that it had responded to an attempt to assassinate Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. This claim has been strongly rejected by the Islamic Movement and several human rights organizations who argue that the massacre occurred without any provocation and all the protesters were unarmed.

2. AGATU MASSACRE
Location Agatu, Benue State, Nigeria
Date February - March 2016
Attack type
Massacre
Deaths 300-500
Victims Several thousand (at least 7000 displaced)
Suspected perpetrators
Fulani gunmen & militia
The Agatu attacks and massacres occurred in Agatu, Benue State, began in late February 2016 and continued for several days into March. It is believed that the attack was committed in retaliation for the killing of the Fulani's' cows

3.MENINGITIS OUTBREAK
As much as 1000 people lost their lives during the meningitis outbreak of April 2017. Surprisingly, A sitting governor attributed it to divine punishment from God due to fornication.

4. 2017 REFUGEE CAMP BOMBING
On 17 January 2017, a Nigerian Air Force jet mistakenly bombed an IDP camp near the Cameroonian border in Rann, Borno State. They had believed it was a Boko Haram encampment. The bombing left at least 115 people dead, including six Red Cross aid workers, and left more than 100 injured.

5. SOUTHERN KADUNA MASSACRES OF 2016
The leader of the catholic Archdiocese of Kafanchan put the death toll at 808 people spanning across 4 local Governments. This however, while affirmed by most of the victims has been vehemently refuted by Nigerian security agencies as an exaggeration.

UPDATED

6. 250 DIE FROM SNAKE BITES IN PLATEAU AND GOMBE
This was attributed to a lack of Anti-venoms for treatment. This has been happening since early October

7. 50 CHILDREN DIE FROM 'STRANGE ILLNESS' in JIGAWA. Happened late last month. What on earth do they mean by 'Strange Illness'?! Life has no value in this Country.
This one just takes the cake for me.

Notable mentions include massacres in Ebonyi, Enugu, Plateau, Nassarawa, Borno, Adamawa, Cross rivers, Delta state, Oyo, Rivers and Taraba. It's unfortunate that we've become so insensitive to the plight of others in this Nation. Funny thing is the list is endless, but I only mentioned those involving loss of lives. I hope this shows that performance is a matter of perspective.

Gbam !!!

You forgot to Add Subsidy removal with no commensurate improvement in infrastructure

Unaccounted 50 stamp duty per bank transaction

Over 76 staff of university of Maidugri abducted till date by Boko haram

Bombing of minority IDP camp by the air force.

Buhari has brought evil like never seen before on Nigerians. May evil in equal measure fall on him.

watch how the avoid the thread

Plateau state killings yesterday made me realise how cold and divided we've become as a nation. Very few actually cared about the dead, even fewer about bringing the perpetrators to book. Most people just rushed to take sides defending or attacking their loyalties. I once supported Buhari, and i'll still give his administration kudos whenever I seem fit; but we must never let our humanity be lost to blind Ethno-religious affiliations or archaic school of thoughts.

OP, you forgot this also:

No one has heard anything about it. We only discussed it and have forgotten it. It made me wonder; are the Chibok girls more important than these teenage girls abducted also by BH? The hypocrisy in this nation is sickening...

I am sure there are many other cases which we have overlooked.

Yes, it's seem Nigerians have forgotten. But internet never forgets, and so is God. The calamities of these perpetrators and their lords cometh.

But evil is already falling on you and your generations and you still can't do nothing.

This is what we ought to be doing as citizens. These politicians know that we forget issues quickly and they pay off or threaten media houses so such news would never be brought up.
Well done op. Very soon too we would forget about the nnpc scam as we have forgotten about the millions found in the plaza in Lagos, unclaimed by anyone.

You, too. In greater measure than Buhari.

When. You vote or rigg in or support a coupist from 1983 of all times and bring him back to lead "Africa's largest demonic democracy" in 2017, then what do you expect, and in fact, he has been missing in action most of the time, including now with giving 0 public speeches or interviews

Johnydon22, platteon, eph123, lordadam16, kenny987, freeze001

Instances of Nigerians' hypocrisy....

It is sickening really. And Femi Adesina had d guts to assert that Nigerians kept their peace after the macabre increase in petrol pump price because they trust Buhari. See d trust as e be na...common vaccination parents and their wards were running as fast as their legs could carry them.

Updated

The list needs to be properly updated as we approach 2019, since he has refused to attend any presidential media chat, we need to broadcast and educate Nigerians on his numerous achievements.

I wish this list could be updated.
