Coptic. We are sorting it out here. We the educated and law abiding citizens of Middle Belt hv seen through the calculated plan to anihilate us and take take over our fertile lands. The herdsmen are merely following instructions from some evil powers.

As in.

I'm just now seeing this.

They ain't seen nothing yet. If not animals, who do they think they are to want to fight the government?

This is why I like the idea of state police.

i miss OBJ in times like this, what an impunity? who gave this people right to a weapon, are their guns even license and the government is doing nothing about this .
God help us in this country
Which Obasanjo are you talking about? Is it the baboon of Egbaland? If yes then forget it, the baboon of egbaland is a coward bully who only killed & oppressed minorities in Odi, Bayelsa & Zaki Biam, Benue & Taraba States Etc. Even under his watch, the same barbarians brought in sharia law in a secular country & equally unleashed violence on Christians & Southerners yet he did nothing. Only Ojukwu & Orkar (violently) and FFK, Nnamdi Kanu & Fayose (rhetorically) were the men that challenged these barbarians since 1960 till date. The rest are cowards!

They always carry out their activities with the mindset that they are above the law. Look at the the story,protesting in front of State House of Assembly wielding arms and yet not arrested . What an impunity? SMH

They are actually above the law.

That's the Nigeria we live in today. Only state policing can correct some.of these ills. That's why they kick against it with all they have got.

Shaka, it is not by chance that 90% of Middle Beltans are Christians. They fought Utman Danfodio and won especially in Taraba State that is why they are whom they are today religionwise.

Never can Hausa/Fulani's subdue them even after Nigeria is ni more or Dissolved.

Yep! And the Middle belt will continue to hold their own against those barbaric elements called Fulani herdsmen!

This shouldn't be about 'they are ignorant.....', 'they were prevented from gaining access' blah blah blah. They should have been arrested already!!! If they were people from other parts of Nigeria protesting with arms, our iron muscled policemen and soldiers would have remembered to do the needful. State police in this case I support. Nonsense.

While addressing newsmen, the Speaker, Diah, condemned the threats by the Chairman of Miyeti Allah, noting that the association was protesting in ignorance since the issues raised during the protest were accommodated within the proposed bill.

Ignorance is very bad.

That's how they will continue to deceive us by saying they are looking for Boko Haram members. Didn't they say Boko Haram are now pretending to be Fulani Herdsmen? The president of cattle breeders threatened to kill instead of arresting him, they're begging him. So these people are above the laws of the land??

The defeaning silence of the APC led FG on the attrocities being perpetrated by the so-called 'foreign' herdsmen wl cost them dearly in the coming elections. Mark my words.

I doubt it. That is what is supposed to happen in a normal society but we're talking about Nigeria where the people do not vote based on logic. Didn't the APC just sweep the recently organized local government election in Benue state?

Fear the Press

Especially Vanguard

I watched this protest on Channels TV

The herdsmen were not armed

They only carried sticks.dancing and protesting

They were even escorted by the police to ensure they were peaceful

Even though I support the anti-grazing and not a fan of herdsmen

It is worrisome that vanguard will lie and try to create more tension by fabricating this lies and exaggerating

These lies incites violence

I have lost faith in our press

And of one Nigeria major problems.

THIS FULANI HERDSMEN AND THE EVIL PERPETRATED IN THIS COUNTRY WOULD ONE DAY MEET THEIR WATERLOO. IN CIVIL CLIMES LIKE BRAZIL, U.S.A, U.K AND INDIA YOU INVEST YOUR MONEY IN RANCHES AND RAISE YOUR COWS NOT ROAM AND DESTROY PEOPLE'S FARMS AND THEN KILL FARMERS AND ACT LIKE YOU OWN THIS COUNTRY. LOOK AT ABUJA RIGHT IN THE CAPITAL FROM MABUSHI TO EVEN BESIDE CBN YOU SEE SOME COWS GRAZING. WHAT KIND OF NONESENSE IS THIS. WHAT IS THIS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. HAVE THEY LOST THEIR SENSES

They loathe the law preventing them from that archaic way of life, roaming about with cows, instead of doing same in the confines of a ranch. Worse still they want that way of life in another man's farmland/land/property, claiming they have right as citizens. Do their cows have equal right of citizens? Are other Nigerians of different ethnic nationalities disrupting others in like manner as they go about their livelihoods? How can agrarians cohabit with herdsmen who would not ranch his cattle or embrace modern animal husbandry? Why would Nigerians not agitate for restructuring or outright cessation in this scenarios? What has the federal government done against open grazing with all
or are they in support? Hmmmnnn, so many questions......

JALINGO—MEMBERS of Taraba State chapter of Miyeti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, clad with arms, yesterday, took its protest against the state’s Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranchers Establishment Bill 2017 to the House of Assembly, threatening breakdown of law if the bill is passed.

First , it is now evidently clear, Fulani herdsmen are the ones killing and maiming farmers across the length and breadth of Nigeria.

Secondly, only in a Government where tribalism is unofficially legalised by careless speeches, body language, and inaction would a known group be so openly bold to hold a government to ransom from making policies. It has never happened.

The tribal rhetorics with which the Buhari APC took power have come to haunt them.


If there's one thing that is clear with Buhari's APC is that they have brought in an unprecedented level of lawlessness.
