Time to pay them back in their own coins

Buhari will not like this.
Buhari is a pretender.
Fulani Herdsmen = Miyetti Allah = Terrorists.

Kill the killer herdsmen and feed the pupils of Benue with his cows.

Let's see who will come to this thread to scream discrimination against fulanis..

imagine the impetus and audacity to violate laws in a state where you're a visitor.
