sleemfesh: You truly have have no clue of what has been happening in zamfara for years now. It is reported way back in 2015 during GEJ re-election campaign over 120 people were slaughtered by cattle rustlers in one day. This has been going on for years now but hasn't gotten the same sensitisation the Benue murders have gotten It is the undeniable truth and it's sad. 2 Likes |

I am beginning to think that the problem of the north is far from religion but hypocrisy. The blamed GEJ for their woes because he is from the south, of late they blamed Buhari for keeping bad men around him, now about 80% of them believe that the suffering in the country is Allah's doing. Why won't they call a spade a spade and tell themselves the truth? Why won't they talk about the killings in Zafara or say that Buhari is the cause of Nigerians economic problem? Because they are advised in their various mosque not to speak publicly against their own and its better to suffer with a believer as a ruler than to enjoy and have it all with an infidel as a ruler. That is one thing they are told, that is what drives their believe and political awareness. That is why i dont pitty them when i see them suffer because they wont accept the truth. Those of you from the north that wonder why some call you awusa nama, seek no further, for here lies the answer. what is a better definition of hypocrisy than the average Hausa mans mentality? Sanusi tried telling them and he is now silenced, because they prefer hypocrisy. The day they would see relief is when they start thinking with their brain and not heart. 6 Likes 1 Share |

2. After reading about how no one is talking about the Zamfara massacre, I decided to read Nigerian newspaper reports on it. Almost every newspaper reported on it but with a different frame from how they report similar mass murders. This time, “Fulani herdsmen” or, better yet, “suspected Fulani herdsmen,” aren’t the villains in headlines. ThisDay, Vanguard, Punch, Daily Trust, and so on called the murderers “gunmen.” Just gunmen. Their ethnic and occupational identities are no longer important. Of course, it’s because the victims are Muslims who are a mix of Fulani and Hausa people. The media love binaries, divisive binaries, which this story doesn’t provide.May God bless this Man abundantly! ! Hasn't this been what I've been screaming here that made some mad savages propelled by nothing but hate, tag me a "Fulani slave"? Once you question popular opinion and try to analyse issues especially as they relate to this crisis, dispassionately, those little scoundrels who know next to nothing are automatically jolted into bashing the heck out of you. Thank you Kpogeri. 5 Likes 1 Share |

SoftP: He is saying Nigerian media is biased and showing double standards in its coverage of the killings; the media houses use clever reporting language to manipulate emotions by their choice of words in reporting the same crime e.g. in this recent case of Zamfara killings, they described the killers as GUNMEN without attaching their tribe to the crime (evidently because the victims and the perpetrators were both Hausa/Fulani); whereas you would observe the opposite if such crime were enacted in the south or north central where the victims are presumably Christians; that would be when the same media would usually find cause to attach tribe/religion to crime as well as to the criminals - whereas in reality often than not the Fulani herdsmen are in fact neither Muslims nor Christians; nor are the killings part of any agenda of Islamic Jihad as claimed, considering again the fact that the these clashes had always been with us all the time; neither had they been confined to the south at the exclusion of the north but on the contrary even more endemic in the latter. 7 Likes 1 Share |

People have been fed this propaganda for so long they are chained to the rhythm. Media houses don't care about the truth they just want to sell papers, sell scandals, sell Christians Vs Muslims, sell sensationalism. The perception of “us” versus “them” was transmitted through generations and became institutionalised. Solutions suggested by one group to resolve mounting tension were considered by the other side as a way for “them” to gain more power over “us”. These perspectives, strongly influenced by the colonial period, became reinforced and deeply entrenched in the fabric of Nigerian society. The seed for protracted social and religious conflict is gradually being sown and the Nigerian media and politicians is well aware of how to use it to their advantage. Whilst a free press is sine qua none to hold those in power accountable and represents the very foundation free societies rest upon, it needs to be emphasised that freedom comes with responsibility. omenkaLives: 1 Like 1 Share |

The killing machinery up north is a creation of their own elite, at least don wanny or what ever his name is and many like him have been killed down south but in the north the story is different. You cannot cover up for criminals because you share same faith and culture and expect not to bear the consequence of your choice, kabiru sokoto and other boko haram members comes to mind. People shout down south when such things take place because they believe in the sanctity of human life but up north you will hear the elite defend and cover these people and then someone expect the people of the South to shout because people were killed up north? That won't happen. The northern elite has succeeded in destroying what ever goodwill that southerners have for their brothers up north. Is it the IPOB east that will raise alarm for the killings up north or the Niger delta avengers south or the OPC west. You will see that the machinery of government have caused hate between Nigerians so much so that when people are killed in one part it practically means nothing in other parts, especially when it seems like the victims have once rejoiced over the killings in other parts (most people in order parts were happy when government forces ravaged IPOB in trying to fulfil the boast made by elrufai when an Ibo heading the army was killing boko haram terrorists, they even proscribed the group just to repay Nigerians for calling boko haram terrorists). What all this will teach the common man is that the elite will always be safe and the poor will always be unsafe unless we rise up to call evil and injustice by its proper name and rebuke the perpetrators who ever they are and where ever they come from. 2 Likes |

akeentech:oga he did not make any meaningful point, except the no. 4 point, here let me counter them 1.) the media could not have called them killer herdsmen because their identity is unknown, but in the south the identities are known and even the umbrella body (miyetti Allah) often comes out with statements that more or less expresses support for the attack. 2.) how can u say nobody is talking about it when all the major media houses reported on it, what else was he expecting? 3.) if the Fulani herdsmen do not have any ulterior motive why is the president (a Fulani man) trying to foist the idea of cattle colonies on the agrarian south? how come the herdsman rejected the offer by the kano state govt to come to kano state, which according the Governor has enough grazing land to accommodate all of them? 4.) we have seen this several time so this is the only point I agree with, besides why is the his fellow finding his ability to express himself now that it happened in the north? when it happened in Benue and other places what was his position, why did he not express this same opinion? 2 Likes |
