Fulani and trail of violence following them everywhere they go. Those who targeted the refugee camp for the killing might be boko haram remnants from sambisa forest. For how long will they continue to dwell among other tribes with wicked hearts and dangerous mission? May God find them out of darkness, remove evil from their hearts and settle them as reasonable human beings.

I said it earlier...Jonathan's refusal to supply electricity for the Fulani to charge their radios brought about the protest which led to the death of 100 people...

Are there electric lines in the bush where your brothers reside? Since you are their spokes person, was it electricity that has been the cause of their incessant killing for the past 25 years?

When the Fulanis are attacked and Killed ....... it's almost like nothing is happening, it never makes the news.
When Fulanis engage in reprisal attacks, it is everywhere on the newspapers.. The truth is that both sides of these conflicts suffer losses, but one side gets it's losses more publicized than the other...

Those of you calling for arms to fight the Fulanis instead of calling for a peaceful solution to inter-communal clashes should get ready. These are people who are battle hardened, living in the bush all their lives... do you think those Tiv villagers running into the refugee camps are stupid or cowards? undecided

Have you ever seen a Fulani man fighting a Fulani man? Didn't you hear hat Buhari did when he and buba Marwa marched to the west with truck loads of fulani's because some yoruba people fought some Fulani men. If the governor wasn't a man of wisdom and had given a reply in the manner that buhari spoke to him, there would have been bloodshed. Google can help you on that story better.
Hes the president now and i read sometimes ago that he read Riot Act to them, thats if the story was true. I think thats was a good movement in a right direction...my jugdement on him will not be based on history cos i cant change the fact that he is the next president. We never can tell what his administration will unfold. Meanwhile Jonathan is not a Fulani man and he was unable to fight them. So All Nigerian problems are diverted to Buhari now including his own kismen and let see how far he solve or add to them.... 2019 is not far.

His kinsmen are the ones sponsoring and fighting as terrorists. We are all interested to see how they will respond to his call and warning against violence.

Thats a sweepy generalisation....problems are not solved by sentiments. We should look at our problems objectively and find a way of solving them. Not always accusing other tribes.

If you want to understand what is happening with respect to the so called Fulani herdsmen ask yourself what their mission is? Definitely all these bloodshed across states are not just for farmer/herdsman squabbles. There's more to it. For those of you waiting on buhari you simply do not know your bearing. He is their patron and knows the entire game plan. His only option is to aid and at worst protect them. If you think those guys are exactly herdsmen then you don't what is happening in those areas. I've lamented what befalls my Christian brethren in the middle belt for a long time but realized its no good since men like T.Y Danjuma,Yakubu Gowon, David Mark, Prof. Jerry Gana et al are all comfortable with the news. I wish them good luck in their expectations. My concern in Benue is remnant of our people there. I want Aka Ikenga to strategize on how to equip them and arrange other contigency plan on how to protect themselves and get reinforcements. We must be bold in our statements against vampires.

But when problem of a particular tribe is everywhere. I am not sentimental it's just an observation on what the people have been doing and known for in the past and presently. The main headache is blindness of Nigerian constitution to resolution of conflicts as being caused by the people without bias.

Is anyone still in doubt of this Islamic agenda for Nigeria? The question though is what are Christians in the North doing about it? by the way where is T.Y Danjuma the coward who short Aguiyi Ironsi from the back to please his muslim masters? where is yakubu gowon a Christian that was used by muslims to killed and slaughter fellow christians in millions, just like John Oyegun, , Rochas, Amaechi's are been used.

Where are the Awolowo, where are these stupid Christian that always aligning with muslims just for a pot of porridge to the detriment of their fellow believers.

Where is David mark, despite all his faithfulness to hausa fulani oligarchy, is he not from Benue anymore?
A lesson to all of you from those who still believe in One nigeria to the all haters of Biafra, you have a choice, support the emergence of Biafra and thereby free your self from the islamic destruction, or fight the people of God (Biafrans) and dies in the hands of those who's interest you fought to protect and die later.

Yet one Nigeria and a particular tribe of the North is allowed to destroy others under the pretence of communal conflicts and terrorism. Yet we are one with one tribe sending others to early graves. Do you think the people and tribes being killed are comfortable?

I agree its particular to them but its stil Nigerias problem.... It all boils down to the issue you raised, we live based on our various moral principles and not the fear of purnishment from the authority. I think thats one of the reasons why we are experiencing all these riots.

I totally dislike any act of Violence and do believe peace is the only way forward. am not Fulani but i know what I've lost in Logo-Arufu (a village under Wukari but a foot walk to Logo).

Re: Over 100 Killed In Benue Communities, Refugee Camp by francizy(m): 1:16pm On May 26, 2015
Whoever is a Benue person on this thread should pardon me for saying this and therefore, sorry in advance.

The Benue people are the most disunited set I've seen in my life (I may be wrong tho). These boundless killings started during my NYSC days. My ex, who happened to serve in Tiv land too, was discussing with a Tiv woman about the killings of people in Agatu LGA. The woman told her this "it is the problem of people in that Agatu, therefore they should settle with the Fulani herdsmen". From all these, she indicated that once her place is not affected, then it's none of her business. And we the foreigners in their land seemed to be more concerned about the killings than the locals.

I've heard of several occasions where Yoruba people fought back the people who they see as their killer in their land. Saying this, the OPC/north saga comes to mind. The Igbos will always come together when there is crises in the north, then fight back in the north (within areas they are large in number-Sabo in Kaduna and Kano), also, they fight back in the SE. Same can be said about some other Christian tribes of the north.

Then why can't the Benue people join hands and fight this common evil eating them? Must they wait till the killers gets to them? The drill is, the more one is perceived as a coward, the more they get killed/bullied, so stand and fight for your right to live! I also blame that pig scamming governor called susWORM for not taking care of his people and providing adequate security and food supply to the ones in the refugee camp.

And you think I like violence?

Bros, what I am saying is this:
I wont love to sleep at night and be killed just like that.
You should be worried about the whole Nigeria.

That the Fulani herdsmen are notorious with violence is not news.
It is also not news that violence is like a tradition of the the Islamic North.

History is there for us all.

Quotasystem, arewafederation what have you guys got to say about this?

Come to think of it. What if this killings are actually done by non-fulanis to wipe up sentiments against fulanis? Just trying to think outside the box here. The Nigerian media usually does not give enough information to help make solid assessment of things and so one can't be too sure of anything they say this days.



No fewer than 100 persons, mostly women, children and the elderly, were feared dead early Sunday morning in villages and refugee camps located at Ukura, Gafa, Per and Tse-Gusa in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State, home town of Governor Gabriel Suswam, in one of the bloodiest attacks on Benue communities by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

I ve got nothing to say until the quote in bold is verified.
