Ishaq319:
May God touch Fulani's Hart not to come on revenge. This is how all this herdsmen killing killing started almost everywhere u heard about.
Great mistake for killing them

There's nothing the fulanis would do. Let them go and form ranches and stop destroying poor farmers crops.

jomoh:


It is not any human beings duty or right to call on another to attack an innoscent person for the crime of another.


Will you be happy if you're from an innocent fulani family and a member of your family is killed for what you know nothing about just because an Apostle ordered them to do so.

The same way you won't be happy if your family member is killed by boko haram because shekau ordered them to.

No one is happy with what is going on but we should control our utterances because in every tribe and religion no matter their crime there are innocent ones like you and my self.

It is even disappointing that it is coming from a leader of a religion. Sentiments aside, Lets ask ourselves What is the difference between what Shekau has been calling for and what this man just called for.

The same way they've been killing innocent people without FG's intervention. So, if a reprisal will bring back sanity to the FG, then, it's necessary..
Fulani herdsmen are everywhere. But have you wondered why they can't attack people in the Niger-Delta region? Because they know that ''Power superceeds power'' the ND dnt need permission from anyone before the retaliate.
Mind u, i'm not in support of violence, but enough is enough.

OROSUNBOLB:


You will pity the Invaders (fulanis) when the 'gbege' starts. Delta state is not Benue or Enugu!

Hmm see this one I've heard that before

It's funny how some people want to psychologically defeat Christians by making it a crime speak up against the fulani madness. Only fools listen to such people. The lands of our ancestors will be protected with all that we got. Let no one scare you of any fulani attack should a fulani misbehave in your farmland. Since all the protest carried out by many people cutting across all tribes and regions in Nigeria has not seen the security arresting and jailing defaulter herdsmen neither has it stopped the further encroachment on farmlands and killing of farmers, therefore it becomes imperative for farmers to kill any trespassers on their farmlands. l'd rather be the one being tried for murder than for me to be murdered while my murderer stands the chance to be acquitted. This is the Nigerian situation.

If you say no one is trying to or can islamize Nigeria, maybe you should look around you and see the handwriting on the wall. Let me help you:

1. Chech your currency 100, 200, 500 and 100 naira. Why is Arabic written on it. Why not also add Hebrew and other "Christian" languages? Does anyone need to see 1000 written in arabic to know it's 1000 naira note.

2. Why did Babangida force Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC)? Is Nigeria an Islamic country?

3. Why is there an arabic inscription on the insignia/badge of the Nigerian Army? Is it the army of saudi arabia or ISIS?

4. Do you know Chibok is a Christian community and most of those Christians kidnapped were Christians?

5. Why are the Northern muslims abducting young christian girls and forcing them to marry Northern Muslims?

[b]6. Why are Fulani herdsmen killing people in Southern Kaduna and Middle Belt which are places predominantly occupied by Christans? [/b]And why has the federal govt not been able to arrest even one of them even though El Rufai said he has paid them and then the Northern Governors Forum came again to lie to us that they are from Senegal and Mali?

Open your eyes.

The ploy to islamize Nigeria is real.

By the way, have you asked yourself who the major power brokers in Nigeria are?

Buhari, Atiku, Tinubu, Babangida, Emir of Kano, Sultan of Sokoto and every first class emir in the North. They are all muslims.

Did I hear you say Obasanjo? You really think Obasanjo is interested in defending the interest of Christians?

Have you checked the Lagos civil service and see the dominance of muslims in the civil service?

Did you not see what Aregbesola tried to do in Osun state?

Do you know Lagos House of Assembly is made up of 90% muslims?

Open your eyes.

The FRC law that forced Pastor E.A Adeboye to resign. Do you know that law does not affect muslim leaders cos of the way their leadership is structured?


Open your eyes. Political correctness will not help Christianity in Nigeria.

Maybe you should read about Turkey to know how that country that use to be predominantly Christian has become an islamic nation. Today, most of the cathedrals and former Christian worship centres have either be turned to mosques or museums. Check Google and read about Turkey.

Open your eyes.

This is the time for Christians to pray, evangelize and stand up for their faith against these evil forces.

Defend your christian faith or one day you'll be afraid to go church.

Christians should move into politics enmasse. You will not go to hell because you chose to be actively involved in how your nation is governed or in the policies that determine your life are made.

If we continue to leave governance to politics like we currently do, we will pay dearly for it.

Christians must start demanding at least 50% representation across board: federal civil services, federal appointments, armed forces, police, dss, state civil services and appointments. That's the way to go.

Or have you forgotten that the reason why Ambode, a Christian, is governor of Lagos state is because we insisted?

Look at most of those who have governed Lagos, Nigeria's richest state and economic backbone, they are muslims.

Before Ambode, muslims have governed Lagos for 20 years. You doubt me? Oya let's count: Buba Marwa (2-4 years), Tinubu - 8 years, Fashola 8 years. Before Marwa, there was Lateef Jakande, Raji Rasaki. The only two Christian military administrators that governed Lagos didn't serve that long: Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and Michael Otedola.


Dear Christians, open your eyes.

You have slept for too long.

You have given muslims the control of politics, economy, and military.

It's time to demand for equality.

50% or we go our separate ways.

By the way, Dangote, a muslim, being the richest man in africa and second largest employer of labor in Nigeria after government is no mistake.

It is part of the plan to dominate and annihilate Christians.

If we don't stand up now and defend our Christian faith (without violence), one day, we will be asked to step aside at the arrival point at our nation's airports because our names are John and Deborah, and not Abeeb or Aisha.

The discrimination will be real, and it may already be too late then.

So when you Christians criticize Oyedepo and Apostle Suleiman, think again and ask yourself why muslims including Buhari himself who have made inciteful remarks against Christians have not been invited by DSS.

The point is not to get you to be anti-muslim, the goal is for you to be pro-Christian.

Enough said.

kabrud:


Pls what is ur evidence?

. What evidence again when d guy said it himself dat he paid them to stop terrorising, or don't u listen to the news? Or do u only listen when it's abt apostle suleiman and missing cattle?!?

Only 2....

babooshka:

'Paid them to stop terrorising', and this constitutes an offence, right?

My sincere advice to the Deltans, please prepare yourselves, get ready, protect your children, women, farms and land because the Fulanis will always come on a revenge and save mission, to kill everyone.

Just get ready and be watchful most at night.

Good luck and God protect you all.

Apostle Suleman has succeeded. That's how all it started. The fulani don't have mouthpieces that's why injustices against them go unreported.
But when they come for revenge....

Brushless:
Apostle Suleiman was just carried away emotionally; he need not have gone out that much, but it is only those who are involved who knows how it hurts. I recollect what nearly happens to a southern Kaduna General around the Babangida's regime. The man was nearly killed for making some terse statement like that on seeing his being decapitated by this same fulanis. Apostle could not bottle his feelings, but his reference to the killing of fulanis is that of any one of them that might have the mindset to assassinate him or his church members.

Yeah true. We should all put enough pressure on the government of PMB act out as the President of all Nigerians to protect their life and properties, which is the sacred oat he took when he was sworn in.
If Apostle is mobilising christians to occupy Abuja until something drastic is done we will be hailing him. I pray he gets out of this

Such killings and cattle rustling have been happening all the time; the Fulani being uneducated and without a mouthpiece to tell their story often end up suffering in silence; they bear arms mainly out of need to defend themselves and protect their precious live assets, not necessarily for aggression; a cow averages over 200k and just a few of them amount to millions, therefore making them attractive targets for criminals.

This incidence may die down as if forgotten, even for years; however, not to the kith and kin of the slain victims who will no doubt be willingly biding their time; if necessary draw reinforcement from an extensive network of brotherhood till when the time is right.

One thing is certain: they will never forget and will never forgive; therefore the community responsible for these killings should brace themselves from now on till when the Fulani will surely return to extract their pound of flesh - tenfold in revenge.

By the time this will happen, many would have long forgotten the real cause of the reprisal; while the herdsmen would expectedly be making newspaper headlines as the usual wanton aggressors.

As these issues unravel, perhaps we may begin to appreciate the wisdom (in El-Rufai's alleged formula) of locating and trying to compensate them in order to stave off the next round of more deadlier cycle of violence - just saying.

HtwoOw:



Hmm see this one I've heard that before

As it stands now,it is 2:0 in favour of the Deltans. Mr Fulani,let the 'game' begins from there. You can mobile your herdsmen to carry out their cowardly night invasion as usual. It's only a big f001 like you that will keep on applauding the criminal activities of those blood sucking,filthy savages. Take it or leave it,fulanis are currently sitting on a time bomb which is fastly tickling away. By the time it explodes on your dirty ass,there won't be any hiding place for you anywhere in Nigeria.

Finally some good news

Please DO NOT drag the name of Apostle Suleiman to this issue. He knows nothing about this. Even if he has said publicly to his congregation to kill any Fulani herdsman that attacks you. That does not mean his members will now go into the streets and begin to kill any Fulani in sight. It is not done like that. The 2 Fulani herdsmen killed must have killed some farmers. So this is a reprisal attack.

For me to end all this Fulani killings, the governor of each state should ban them outright from entering their states. Or ask the association of cattle breeders to get a ranch where all the cattle will be bred and transported to the market for sale. No more NOMADIC breeding.

Good move. Kill and be killed

SSS versus Apostle Suleman: Let The Truth Be Told

By Inibehe Effiong

It is politically correct and simplistic for anyone to demand the arrest and prosecution of Apostle Johnson Suleiman, the outspoken and controversial Founder and General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries over his recent belligerent utterances against those said by the Nigerian government to be aliens from Mali, Niger, Chad and other neighboring countries; the so-called Fulani herdsmen.

That is what is expected of any die-hard supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari who may be motivated either by ethnic, religious or political sentiments and considerations. It perfectly fits into the narrative of those seeking to divert attention from the unabated mass murder of Nigerian citizens by ‘’foreigners’’ in Southern Kaduna and other parts of the country and the troubling silence of the Nigerian state.

For me, it is Nigeria first. Loyalty to our nation and its Constitution should always take precedence over political, ethnic or religious affiliations. Are we not ashamed as Nigerian citizens that the State Security Service (SSS) is taking action against Apostle Suleiman, a citizen, for making inciting statements in response to the Southern Kaduna massacre when no single person is on record as having been arrested and prosecuted for the killing of defenseless Nigerians, whether Christians or Muslims, in Kaduna State by ‘’foreigners’’?.

I refuse to join the mob calling for the head of Apostle Suleiman, not because I am a Christian or a Southerner but because my spirit, soul and body resent, detest and reject hypocrisy, injustice and oppression in every form. If Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State could shamelessly use taxpayers money to settle or compensate alleged murderers who he also claimed are foreigners in his unserious attempt to dissuade them from their murderous and satanic proclivity, what justification does anyone have to demand the prosecution of Apostle Suleiman for basically calling for self-defense, though in a rather bellicose language?

Governor El-Rufai who is on record for issuing divisive, irresponsible, inciting and dangerous threats and statements in the past without being arrested or prosecuted, further legitimized the insane culture of appeasement of criminals in Nigeria by seeking a truce with alleged murderers instead of bringing them to justice and compensating the victims. If there is no other person that knows those who take senseless pride in shedding innocent blood of human beings because their cows have been attacked or killed, Governor El-Rufai knows them, on his own admission.

The Nigerian state and the SSS or DSS cannot be strong with those calling for self-defense and weak with those who are the real perpetrators of violence and mass murder. It is an unprovoked assault on the intelligence of patriotic Nigerians for the SSS to swiftly go after Apostle Suleiman when the alleged murderers who instigated his bellicose and unfortunate statements are walking freely. That is not just a case of double standard but an audacious and tragic statement that in Nigeria under President Buhari, the criminal justice system is skewed to protect the killers and hunt those calling for self-defense or revenge against the alleged killers.

Is there any self-respecting and truthful person in Nigeria today that will deny the complicity and utter nonchalant disposition of the Buhari's administration to the killings and destruction by the so-called Fulani herdsmen? Why are we pretending as if we are oblivious of the conspiratorial inaction of the federal government to the mass killing of Nigerians across the country by the herdsmen?

Who has been prosecuted for the Agatu massacre in Benue State? Who has been prosecuted for Nimbo massacre in Uzo-Uwani of Enugu State? Who has been prosecuted for the serial murder of protesting Shiite Muslims in the North? Who has been prosecuted for the continuous killing of Pro-Biafra agitators in the East? Do the lives of our people really matter to President Buhari?

Like many Nigerians, I was outraged by the statements made by Apostle Suleiman after watching the video. Religious leaders should foster the bond of unity, preach peaceful co-existence and not be the instigators of anarchy. Not all Fulani herdsmen are murderers. There are criminal elements in every tribe and religion. We should never submit to the temptation to stigmatize or label an entire religion or tribe for the criminality of its disgruntled members.

The herdsmen have their grievances which should be attended to. Similarly, the host communities and farmers also have their grievances. The bottom line is that no person or group of persons should be excused and protected by the Nigerian state for embarking on mass murder because his or their cows or farmlands or crops have been killed or destroyed, as the case may be.

A deeper and dispassionate introspection on this matter evinces a fact that many commentators and public intellectuals are shying away from. The fact that if the President Buhari-led administration had fulfilled her primary purpose under Section 14 (2) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) by prioritizing the security and welfare of its citizens, there would have been no calls for self-defense and revenge against the continuous attacks by the herdsmen.

Mr. Buhari failed, refused or neglected to act responsibly when the crisis between the herdsmen, their host communities and farmers reared its ugly head at the inception of his administration. The apparent inaction and seeming complicity of the President and other leaders like Governor El-Rufai allowed the crisis to fester and emboldened the herdsmen to continue to kill people indiscriminately at the slightest provocation.

It is because the Nigerian state under President Buhari is confused as to whose life is more important; between that of a human being in Southern Kaduna, Nimbo, Agatu or any other part of the country and a cow, that we now have a situation where those accused of mass murder are protected and compensated while the victims are abandoned and left unprotected and those who react fiercely or irresponsibly to the shameful and pathetic dilemma of the Nigerian state like Apostle Suleiman, are speedily targeted by the institutions of the state.

Get this clear: Apostle Suleiman is not above the law. He is not immune from arrest and prosecution. What we are saying is that it is unacceptable for the SSS to go after him over his bellicose utterances when the killers of innocent Nigerian Christians and Muslims are walking freely. This is not the time for anyone to pretend to love the rule of law more than others. Let justice be done and the law enforced without ethnic, religious or political bias.

Self-defense is a fundamental right recognized and guaranteed by Section 33 (2) (a) of the Nigerian Constitution. There is nothing unlawful in calling on those whom the Nigerian state has failed to protect and rescue from the murderous grip and attacks of blood thirsty criminals to defend themselves. If Apostle Suleiman went beyond the constitutional allowances of self-defense and freedom of expression, let the law take its course.

However, it will be an aberration for Apostle Suleiman to be punished or persecuted over his utterances when the real perpetrators of the violence and the mindless killings that he complained of are left to go unpunished. Justice should be blind to all persons irrespective of their race, religion, sex, ethnicity or political leaning.

No one should be in support of violence not especially a pastor leading a church.

If he thinks calling for people to attack and kill as a form of reprisal is the answer than he should be ready to dance to the tune of it's consequence or live in hiding like shekau.

Remember shekau and boko haram attacks are reprisal attacks for killing their leader.

I'm not from Deltal state but there is a tribe in that state that I 've sworn to protect in case of mass attack against them-the Itshekiri.. what happened to you in oke-ogun,Oyo state in year 2000,is just about to repeat itself.

erico2k2:

Dont you know what happened to them in delta after that?

Yes that is what is called a reprisal attack. Not one pastor comanding people to start killing.

No human being needs any other human to tell him/her that he should defend himself. Survival is the most basic natural instinct of a human being.

Commanding people to start killing in a society that has law is a No No.

Some will argue that he commanded his body gaurds but are his body guards police officers or law enforecement officers.

He even went as far as saying anyone that mistakenly enters the church should be killed. Imagine mistakenly not intentional. not even there to arm anyone but because he is a Fulani. What if he is a Christian that came to worship or are there no Fulani Christians.

What the guy did is wrong and and we should all condemn it. That does not mean we are encouraging the Fulani criminals or even in support of FG for their slow response. Am sure the DSS would have warned him seriously. I can bet it with anybody that the guy wouldn't be talking about fulani herdsmen anytime soon due to the warnings he would have received.

Did you notice the silence of Osinbajo.

He knows the truth. He is presently Nigerian president so all the intelligence report is in his hands. He cannot condemn the pastor cos he will be seen as supporting the Fulani herdsmen and he cannot praise the pastor because he knows what he said was wrong.

So fulani dey fear like this?
