Omenkalives is a fulani man who grew up in Benue state, claiming to be from Benue! There are many fulanis like that in Benue, many of them speak Idoma & Tiv fluently, but they are still fulanis. .... Are you guys not asking yourselves why he is the only person who claims to be from Benue speaking like this?

Paul Unongo who was the highest fulani paid agent in Benue immediately resigned from Arewa elders forum when the killings started and supported his own people.

They've started trying to sabotage the exercise even before it gains traction.

When it happened, IG was sent and policemen were dispatched to affected areas.

The people huffed and puffed, saying what is needed is the army and police aren't trained for that level of combat.

The cries have been heeded and accordingly, the army has been engaged, and the same folks have started peddling lies to frustrate to exercise.

Ortom is the one orchestrating all these media attacks as he knows puting an end to this crisis is probably nailing his 2019 ambition. He has absolutely nothing to go by except "pretending to love the people more than he does his bank account".

All state owned tertiary institutions (with the exception of BSU) just declared indefinite strike over the intolerable suffering as a result of nonpayment of salaries and the fool is there chasing shadows.

Even BSU has been shut down over last week's protest, with the fool asking students who protested the authorities disallowing them to sit for exams over nonpayment of school fees, to go sought their fees over two weeks. Benue workforce is predominantly civil servants. You don't pay salaries yet you want students to pay fees. Where does he want them to raise the monies- prostitution and selling of kidneys?

When folks who know nothing about what goes on in Benue open their mouths and speak here, all I do is giggle. Worst off they are the same people that insulted the life out of the useless governor just last year. He's become their hero overnight because he now seems opposed to Buhari.

Mr. Fulani advocate, first things first.
stop the killings first before we start to talk about the governors misgovernance
you cannot be talking about misgovernance by the governor when there is anarchy and killings by ur Fulani clients

Cos those useless Igbos deserve it

You Igbos maimed and massacred Northern, Minority and Western leaders with their pregnant wives in your quest for dominance and power, and the result of that ll keep hurting you and your useless people till death.

We won’t forget that and ll ensure that you guys remained 3rd class citizens in retaliation for the wickedness meted out on our leaders by your useless forefathers.

We had a flourishing regional system of government until your worthless Igbos destroyed it through their son called Aguiyi Ironsi. Igbos ensure that unitary system was forced on us despite all the pleas from Yorubas and the same Fulani/Hausas Monarchies and political leaders. Ironically, all Igbos went mute during this period until Hausa/Fulanis forced their way in and took over the same unitary system of government and begin to use to it to their own advantage till date.

If history is taught in our school, Igbos should be held responsible for what we have in Nigeria today.

If history is taught in our schools, Children should be stoning any Igbo man dead or alive on the streets till date

Historically, you Mofos are not Nigeria but Gambia or Guinea or something like that before migrating to Nigeria
hahahahahah e pain am, well we are still the tribe u love to hate, history was not taught that's why u are beating round the bush with your myopic article, are not confuse when writting this?

I am sure the killings in zamfara, Edo, Kogi, Taraba etc by the herdsmen is a result of nonpayment of salary? Lets try to be objective with our reasoning.
The subject here is that the army is acting as a shield which in all inferences is true. If they want to kill them they should leave the killers, run to the army, report the attempted killing, then the army will come and arrest the people who came to kill!
Haba, how can the army reason in this manner?
I hope, when the truth is revealed some people will be honourable enough to apologise to Nigerians.

Why are some Nigerians are so stupid and act uncivilized.
What makes you 1st class and an Igbo man 3rd class or a lower class. ?
I am Igbo and I need to know.
The rice I buy from your the market is it different from the one you buy?
The hospitals, roads, school in your section of the country are perfect.?
You have electricity and pipe borne water?
No unemployment or fuel scarcity in your section of the country?
They give you a chair to sit on and ask the Igbo man to sit on the floor at the US and UK embassies?
You go through the same things I go through, so what makes you 1st class except stupidity.
The foremost leaders of Nigeria today:president,vp,senate president,dsp,speaker,ds,sgf,are from every section of the country, a minister from every state, director and chairmen from every section of the country.
Probably presidency is the reason, I beg your pardon, is daura better than Nnewi, is it ota better than Aba or is Otuoke better than Onitsha?
Is it that an igbo man cannot live in any part of Nigeria or in any area they choose even in the g.r.as?
Because igbos speak out against injustices doesn't make them a lower class but it means they are bold.
It's only a foolish Nigeria that calls another Nigerian 2nd class citizen.
I can't even call an almajiri or those in rural Nigeria 2nd class citizen even though I know that places I and most Igbos can go to OR enter they cannot and i also know I am socially above them.
Orentations like these are part of the root cause of Nigeria's problems today. Funny enough, I am sure you are a youth.

Re: Benue Killings: Army Providing Cover For Armed Herdsmen – Tiv Leaders by MIKOLOWISKA: 8:43pm On Feb 23, 2018
Ecstasy154:
Leaders of the Tiv nation on Thursday accused the army of allegedly providing cover for armed herdsmen to take over the land naturally given to them by God.

They also expressed displeasure over the operation of a military exercise code-named “Cat Race” launched in the state by the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) to restore peace in Benue State communities following attacks by armed Fulani herdsmen.

President of the Mzough U Tiv (MUT), Chief Edward Ujege, in a statement issued to the media in Makurdi, expressed reservations over the emerging trends of the military operation which he said has made the people be apprehensive about the real mission of troops deployed to the state.

Chief Ujege disclosed that since the flag off of the exercise, the military has been circulating pamphlets through its Department of Civil-Military Affairs, Army Headquarters which “confirmed that the military had come to provide cover for armed Fulani herdsmen to take over the land of the people.”

The translation on the pamphlets, Chief Ujege emphasized, portrayed a purported dialogue between the Fulani herdsmen and Benue farmers on their alleged resolution to shift grounds one both farming and cattle grazing activities in the state.

Part of the translation of the pamphlets reads:

Tiv farmer: I’m your brother and a farmer; my farm produce is just as important as your cattle.

Fulani herder: I will no longer destroy your farm produce and longer kill your people. You are my brother, we should live in peace.

Tiv farmer: I too will no longer rustle or kill your cattle. You are my brother, let us live in peace.

Ujege said it was clear from the flyer that the military has acknowledged that the Fulani herdsmen are responsible for the large-scale massacre and massive destruction in of farm crops in the state.


He regretted that instead of addressing issues of justice, reparation and compensation, the federal government is compelling people of the state to accommodate the perpetrators of the heinous atrocities.

“Moreover, there is no reference to the Open Grazing Prohibition and Establishment of Ranches Law 2017, which addresses the fundamental issues of making both the farmers and the herders coexist in peace. The military is not only silent on the law but has encouraged open grazing with all its concomitant consequences. This silence on the law points to the fact that they are not in its support and are not ready to ensure its enforcement”.

But the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 707 Special Forces Brigade, Major Olabisi Olalekan Ayeni, in a swift reaction, countered the position of the Tiv leader saying “Operation Cat-race is not in support of any group”.

The Army spokesman, Major Ayeni said the role of the army in the crisis is to ensure the return of enduring peace in sacked communities and safe return of the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs.

“All that the army needs to do here is to ensure that no Benue resident is killed or displaced from their homes, that is all we are doing. We want to ensure peaceful coexistence among the herders and farmers. We are not saying the Fulani herdsmen should not obey the anti-open grazing law enacted by the Benue State government.

“Let me inform you that we had arrested a Fulani herdsman yesterday and two others that wanted to attack Governor Ortom’s farm in Guma and with all these successes you should know that Operation Ayem A Kpatuma is not in support of any group and is not in the pursuit or criticising any group.”

“Our role is to make sure that Benue State is peaceful and one of the ways we are going about it is for the herders to know that either a Tiv man or an Idoma man or Igede man is a Nigerian like him and a herder who is not violent now is their brother.

“However in the course of the military exercise if we find a violent herdsman that want to kill or displace any person in Benue State, we get him arrested and that is why we arrested two people two weeks ago, and arrested another one for preventing the Tiv people from been peaceful in their own environment.

“So the way and manner we go in achieving a peaceful environment in Benue State especially in Guma and Logo local government areas of the state and Katsina-Ala local government is by using this psychological method to test these people that we are friends, don’t fight or pursue the other because we are one family. But however, if you saw anyone who want to kill you, report and we will get that person arrested and deal with him according to the law”, said Major Ayeni.
