These kind of comments from a seasoned journalist at that is mind boggling and shows a lack of understanding of the Nigerian situation...We should be looking for how to remove the weapons in circulation rather than trying to increase it...Sam Omatsaye would have made sense if he went extremely brutal in attacking the government for failing in its responsibilities, even call for protests against the government but to call for procurement of arms in the name of self defence is just...shocking...and with this statement he has just exacerbated the situation, because CAN would most likely not do it, and the other people too would increase their their stockpile in anticipation of CAN yielding to Sam Omatsaye's call to arms. But most worrisome, is that by directing his call to CAN, Sam is trying to pitch Christians against Muslims

Certainly this old man knows nothing about war. I guess the state of Syria and Libya is paradise now for all to emulate. It only takes one useless statement to make void all the achievements you have acquired overtime. Let everyone starts carrying arms for the sake of defense and let's see how glorious it will be for people of a third world country when even first worlds are struggling to cope with the frequent lawlessness.

Why is it that anytime you just talk about self defense, Muslims come for your throat? They don't want Christians to defend themselves?

Islamic hypocrites. 98% of the tweets are from Muslims. It is very necessary as no particular religion or tribe has monopoly for violence. Why will they not arm themselves, but marauding Fulani herdsmen are fully armed and continue killing them and FGN under a Muslim fundamentalist looks the other way round.
Even IPOB should be fully armed as this is the only panacea for FGN to agree to dialougue just as they are begging the NDA for dialogue.
Rubbish.

Christians should use their tithes to buy arms instead of to better the lives of Christians. Shames on to you. Look at his face like blink blink pastor ay...... Am not surprise, he talks like his pastor's brother.

After going through your posts, I am now not surprised by what u just typed up there.

Is there anything wrong in self-defense?

For your information, Wukari people in Taraba state ended Islamic terror against Jukun Kingdom without Government intervention.

I don't know why you Muslims are always like this. You keep terrorizing the whole world without cause. Haba

nobody has the monopoly of violence

suggesting CAN to arm them makes it a religious issue, just say people should learn to defend themselves & not wait 4 the government, weapons of choice include charms, bow & arrows, cutlass, katana, local Dane guns, 9ml pistols, SMGs, Ak 47 rifles, carbine Assault rifles, high powered sniper rifles, RPGs, APC & type 59-80 tanks. attack hilos like d cobra with some fighter jets

p.s B4 you call me a gun dealer or terrorist pls note I got all these from Far cry primal, call of duty advanced warfare, Hitman series, the witcher 3 & GTA V, incase you don't know they ARE VIDEO GAMES

It's not bad advice. I support in full force. If these fools come looking for trouble then it should be dished out to them glamorously. There's nothing wrong in self defence.

CAN doesnt need to be involved. The people need to do this for themselves.

Sam Omatseye is a veteran journalist, Chairman of the Editorial Board, The Nation newspapers and Nigeria's most decorated columnist, but his impressive credentials and position did not stop Nigerians from slaying him when he posted the tweet below some hours back.

Are his statements capable of inciting violence? Twitter Nigeria thinks so and they are currently flaying Mr Omatseye as we speak

Unfortunately this is the sad truth - people from the Christian inclination have being killed daily but government at all levels turned a blind and a deaf ear. When the Christians in Jos metropolis and Taraba state armed themselves and returned teeth for tooth, the jihadists disguised in whatever names got the message and mellowed down. Since the governments favour the other side of the divide, then the people should stand for themselves - not a desirable way to go sha but sadly that's the only way to mutual respect

Sorry about that bro.

These extremists purportedly from Libya will burn this country soon enough, let the useless foool of a president keep handling the matter with kid gloves.

Everyday my hate for this country keeps increasing.


Christians in southern Kaduna please arm yourselves!!!!!

You can't slay a people continually and expect them to sit and watch.
