Why Are Well Meaning Nigerians Silent On Fulani Herdsmen Attacks? by Nobody: 5:56pm On Jan 02, 2018
I'm so pained seeing people run away from their fatherland because some group of people who carry sophisiticated weapons to tend cows attack them in their villages. Honestly I wish there is something I could do now to physically defend those guys no matter how costly.

Worst of it all is that the President is indifferent about this. The governors and local government authorities look so incapacitated. Well-meaning Nigerians feel less concerned because it hasn't gotten to their estates, mansions and houses. Everybody is sitting akimbo.

How long is this onslaught going to continue? Are we going to fold our hands and watch defenseless people being slaughtered like goats in their own lands?
The first gift creation gave to man was land. The bitterest of wars you'll ever fight is over your land.

But right here, we keep silent and watch people being killed and their lands being taken over by strangers including cows.

Guys don't you think this is a strategic genocide, be it religious or ethnic?
Don't you think there are wicked ulterior motives behind these attacks?

The primary reason why you have a neighbor is, to hAve someone speak up for you when you have no voice, to have someone fight for you when you are defenseless. If your neighbor keeps silent while you're being attacked, after you might have been dealt with, it will get to his turn. It is a chain reaction people!!!!!

We are all disappointing humanity by standing neutral in time of moral and human atrocities. Those guys being attacked need someone to speak up for them at least.

Guys we have to speak up so that our diversity remains intact. Agatu comes to mind. That village is a complete shadow now. It's also happening in Southern Kaduna and Adamawa. Lineages, tribes, generations, nations are gradually being exterminated.

We can't let this continue, guys we can't. My heart bleeds now. If there is anything you can do to make the cries of these people heard, please do.

With IPOB, everyone suddenly became an expert with an opinion. Restructuring was the national anthem.

But with Fulani herdsmen that is actually killing people daily, everyone is silent.


IPOB that carries microphone is more dangerous than Fulani herdsmen that carry AK-47.

Surprisingly Buhari with his lengthy epileptic readings on 1st January made no mention of Fulani herdsmen. He owns 150 cows and a Fulani. People have written, shouted and echoed through media yet the presidency remain adamant. That is why restructuring is necessary where each state controls police of their own because Nigeria police seems not interested even the military. Hsbaaa Pa Buhari.
If the villagers try to revenge they will be arrested. Let's vote again.

hypocrites, if there's anything like double standard, this is it. Over 21 christians just died in omoku rivers state about 2 days ago, you said nothing about it. Here you are blaming the General for something that has been an issue in the north since God knows when. Ekiti state promulgated a law last year about this issue, you are here blaming the President. God will judge you for your hatred of this country.

were all VISITING, PRAYING, REACTING, CONDOLING, SYMPATHIZING, MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO FLY HIM ABROAD, RENOVATING HOSPITAL FOR THE FIRST FAMILY etc, but when it comes to the COMMON MAN, THE MASSES, all of them go quiet.

Why are you crying more than the bereaved, PMB and his cohort are on top of the situation and happy about the massacre. Shame on you for defending this shame we call president.

Every individual has an economic value including beggars.

I think they only reason while they seem ' superior' is because they are always the armed aggressors. No one has monopoly of violence

It will forever continue because its root lie in false hood and conspiracy heaped on Igbos primarily by Yorubas that have almost destroy the Igbos. While the Yorubas are busy with their media out of extreme hatred of the Igbos creating the impression that Igbos are tribalistic, hateful and etc, deliberately avoiding with their media the real haters and killers of Nigerians.
