The crime is heinous no doubt but can we be rational and leave politics aside when addressing issues like this.

How is Buhari connected to this act? Is it because he shares the same ethnicity with the culprits?

The security operatives, local heads are to be held responsible for this. I don't want to believe that this is the first time an incidence of this would be happening in that community. If you find out it may have happened before but maybe not to this extent and something most probably would have caused it.

I'm a supporter of the General and this is in no way a defense of this heinous crime. But the question is what did the security operatives do to check this and what will they do to prevent another occurence. They aren't paid to seat in their offices or are they?

Thanks for calling me a fulani murderer but can you atleast suggest what a civillian should do against armed men.

What exactly should an aged civillian (male or female) do when attacked

If civillians should provide security for themselves then I think the police force and other security agencies should be sacked.

I'm waiting for your rational suggestions.

Buhari connections with this marauders are in many ways, 1 Buhari is the grand patron & leader of this fulani herders, secondly buhari is a fulani & formal leader of this country who has in the past represented, spoken, protected & fought in defence of these fulani impunity to their host community. What stops him from calling his boys to order?.

In my part of the divide, as a fulani herder u dare not enter into farmland cos u will be buried alive in that farm & ur cattle shared between the villagers.

It is surprising that you asked that question. The armed men, are they not civilians? Let those communities arm themselves and fight. It is stupid to blame the govt for everything. This poo has been happening even before independence. Self-preservation is the first law of nature.

Did you see the part where the eye witness said they were shooting sporadically that obviously shows that the attack was carried out with guns not machetes.

I'm wondering how those guys got their hands on the guns to used for this act. Secondly, If civilians are to start carrying guns to protect themselves then what then is the function of the security agencies in that area that's what I want to know??

Nigerians shouldn't have to form vigilante groups to survive when there are agencies charged with the responsibility of providing internal security but maybe the host communities should until things actually start working in this country.


In the developed world, almost everybody has a gun. It is called self-preservation. The police patrol almost everywhere but not every time. The army isn't used for day to day security.

Security is everybody's duty. If you wait for government, they can't secure everybody at the same time. The Fulani herdsmen have leaders. Those herders aren't the real owners of the herds. The real owners are businessmen. They could be talked to. The local people should know them. We should quit blaming the government for everything that goes wrong.
