That is because there is practically no governor in Benue. That guy is totally useless.

Wonder where Akume left his brain when propping the man up- Gime was the surest bet for us.

The thing tire me oh.. upon say the scale of the Agatu Massacre was way higher than Nimbo. we shout tire, demonstrate go NASS, do every every, still the FG didn't do jack... Ortom actually went to Aso Rock early after the crisis, still not a statement from FG...indeed some Lives are more important than others .

IdomaLikita:


Say no more, I am currently having this discussion with a tribesman who is afraid of our domination by the Igbos if we join Biafra, and I am telling him that I will rather affiliate with People who have proven themselves in all ramifications of progress than being ruled by degenerate fools who have contributed nothing but violence and Retrogression to humanity. I have lived for 10 yrs in the Core North and another 10yrs in the South East, and believe you me, the difference is clear.

Balkan:
This is the only attack that the president had to talk.
It happened in Mile 12, Agatu, Delta where a king was killed and it happens in NC
everyday but no reactions from FG.

You don't touch any igbo community and it's left not talked about. Yorubas will hide their own. Falaye was kidnapped and buhari never said a word.

The life of one Igbo is worth more than thousands of other tribes .

... But Goons like you are partially part of the problem, with the way you try to stylishly exonerate Fulani's(I read the thread you created). Bros, ethnicity should come first before partisan politics. Buhari/APC be damnned if they cannot do anything to put an absolute end to the massacre and destruction the Fulani Maraduers wrought against my region.

You people make it soo damn hard for one to be civil.

What brought "goons" in here?? Can't you make your point without sounding like a tout??

Fadekebisola:
Has anyone noticed the utmost seriousness given to Enugu attacks than agatu despite few persons been killed unlike agatu were hundreds were massacred...

Even to the extent of sacking CP of police in Enugu and APC governors storming Enugu.....

are some regions now more important than others?

How serious would you want it to be.

deboysben:
because agatu pple are under a spell cast by dia slave master who came frm daura.

Decibel:


Buhari sees Ortom and his people as perpetual slaves whose lives worth less than his 150 cows in Daura

CSTR2:
FOR starters, I expected ekweremadu to lobby the rest of the PDP bloc to shut down the Senate, refuse to ratify the budget, until the President pay a personal visit to Enugu, promising the people that such would not repeat itself, ever again.
That is how it is done in the civilized world. As a matter of fact, ekweremadu would have lost his seat in some countries.
But then losing his seat would be inimical to Igbo interests, given the kind of politics played there.

Benue people should try to realign with Igbos, their long lost cousins. Join forces to work together.

Beyond the 'goons' part, what do u say about the rest of the post? Politics over homeland/tribe or vice versa?

And you forgot to add..wasted ovum..

Both the sperm and ovum used for his procreation were a waste...

KinkyAngela is not one of the "you people" people. She/He is a "change" chanter like yourself.

Already was leaving but had to respond to this. If folks chose to sound responsible like this, we can all have reasonable discussions here whether it has to do with criticism or commendation- it doesn't always have to be a mad house where everyone is at the top of their voices and cursing.

Well, the thing is we all have our respective principles in life. Depending on who's judging, they can either be vice or virtue.

There are certain aspects of man's character which cannot be done away with, vis the desire for uniformity and group identity- it is ingrained in our DNA. What however isn't given to us all in equal measure is the power to control and suppress the urge to allow that identity be the major determinant of the judgements we make in life, the power of the mind to make one literally rise above oneself!!

Let me share a brief story with you:

Couple of weeks back I was going to the village from Makurdi with a friend. We stopped along the way at his inlaw's to grab lunch. Done, we got into our car, turned the key but the engine was totally non-responsive. Well, eventually, it came down to a burned out kickstarter. Had to leave the car there and use a public transport to complete the journey while it was being worked on.

In the vehicle we boarded were some Tiv men and some Igede men, my tribesmen (hope this puts to rest all that Omenka is Idoma crap). I understand Tiv a lot and speak it too. One of the Tiv men was narrating an incident of exam malpractice involving an Igede student to his friend (in Tiv language). He was apparently a lecturer and was so furious about what had happened, especially as the case was dropped at the behest of a much more senior staff of the institution who happened to be an Igede man as well!!

At some point, this man's phone rang and he also explained what had happened to the person at the other end of the line, and what official actions he's decided to take- saying he'd go as far as writing the Perm Sec of the ministry of education- he spoke in english this time. Now, this got the Igede guys talking. The fools (while speaking Igede) went on endlessly about how the man is taking the case too far, and that he only seeks to, and insist on holding the student to account because she is not Tiv!!

Can you believe that!!

What had happened didn't matter to them, all that mattered was the tribes of the people involved!! I was disgusted at the things they said (all of which I can't remember) and wondered if we can ever move forward as a nation with such warped mentality.

Now, that is what I believe that poster demands of me, being like those two brothers of mine, because according to her - "ethnicity comes first!"

Back to where we were- when you view what she said at the backdrop of events like this, you'd agree with me it is total madness. I can never be that sort of man.

Indeed, the interest of my people is very important when taking decisions, but I've over the years cultivated the character that makes me ensure that consideration never subsist over logic and reason- ditto religion.

That is who I am, that is who I'll always be.

omenka:
That she's whoever doesn't mean she should be throwing insults around. When guys do that, somehow I tend to be like- "well, that one na our character as men." Bet women are naturally made to be more civil and human when interacting with people.
