Soyinka to Buhari: Herdsmen killings worse than Kanu’s IPOB

Prof. Wole Soyinka, Nobel laureate, has said that the killings perpetrated by suspected herdsmen is worse than the activities of the Indigenous People of Biara, IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu, which the government declared a terrorist group.

In a statement on Wednesday, Soyinka said he is not ‘aware that IPOB came anywhere close to this homicidal propensity and will to dominance before it was declared a terrorist organization’.

“The international community rightly refused to go along with such an absurdity. The conduct of that movement, even at its most extreme, could by no means be reckoned as terrorism. By contrast, how do we categorize Myeti?”

Soyinka wondered in the release why the Federal Government had not given consideration to some of the stakeholders’ recommendations on how to resolve the problem. He recalled that after “a hideous massacre” perpetrated by the herdsmen in 2016, a security meeting was called and the cattle rearers “attended the meeting — according to reports — with AK47s and other weapons of mass intimidation visible under their garments”.

“They were neither disarmed nor turned back. They freely admitted the killings but justified them by claims that they had lost their cattle to the host community,” he said.

“Such are the monstrous beginnings of the culture of impunity. We are reaping, yet again, the consequences of such tolerance of the intolerable. Yes, there indeed the government is culpable, definitely guilty of ‘looking the other way’. Indeed, it must be held complicit.”

You do have a point Proff.

The killings by the Fulani Herdsmen is bad,and should be condemned by any human.

I also agree with you that IPOB was just a scam organization run by one man,and he succeeded in duping thousands of people.

The Fulani threat is worst.

Quick Question Proff.

Between Secret Cultism that you introduced to Nigeria, IPOB and the Fulani Herdsmen, which one do you think has caused more problems and taken more lives?

There is nothing to analyse. Herdsmen are the terrorist and the most dangerous. They just delight in killing people.

This is what a human being with brain wrote “The international community rightly refused to go along with such an absurdity. The conduct of that movement, even at its most extreme, could by no means be reckoned as terrorism. By contrast, how do we categorize Myeti?”. Not an animal like you who makes caricature with killings of your countrymen. If there is anything to analyse, it should be the depth of your nostrils and buca-cavity inside Buhari's azz.

I already said iPob was a borderline hate group but this Miyetti Alllah is a terrorist organisation.
No ifs, No buts .
How can you build civilisations if someone can just come into your house , take your property( crops ) , burn your home and kill your wife and children .
Who are they going to sell the beef to if they finish killing off all their customers.
Those herdsmen should be confined to th north and made to ranch .
Anyone who is not willing to ranch should be made to sell off all their livestocks to someone who would .
Nigeria imports most of the milk consumed .
The potential profit from the milk and bigger and healthier stock would offset the cost of ranching .
That is unless ,the problem was not about grass but something more sinister.

IPOB had no guns and didnt kill anyone, the federal government sent the Army after them and tagged them terrorists


Fulani herdsmen are armed with AK47's and using it to slaughter people everywhere, the federal government called them mere criminals and are sending delegations to go and beg them to stop.
