All Christians in the South should wake up get ready. The agenda is real! It is no longer a secret. Please Igbos and Yoruba Christians should brace up. The battle line has been drawn. We the Christians in the Middle Belt (North Central) are the first line of target and casualties. And we are your first line of defence. Please, stop insulting Ortom. This is not about Ortom. The issue here is systematic land grabbing and islamization, using herdsmen as a cover. Please, let everybody wake up. History is repeating itself before our very eyes. The battle is real. They are quick to deny that it is not about tribe and religion. But the reverse is the case and the truth. Benue State is being hit hard now because we are the last standing strong line of defence. Plateau and Nassarawa States have fallen. They have been effectively occupied. I'm the voice of the one shouting in the wilderness. South East, South South and South West. War is approaching your domain. Wake up.

Julivas:


Will appreciate that.
Thanks
..... but your moniker though.

You are absolutely correct. Little wonder why PMB was quick to ensure that all the critical sectors of our nations security infrastructure was put in the hands of the Fulanis and their trusted allies. The time for coming together of all Christians in order to forge a common front is now. Let us not forget that this was the same man that swore to ensure the implementation of sharia across the entire country. He has regards for neither the 1999 constitution nor the rule of law. He ha no qualms in keeping people in detention without recourse to court rulings ordering their release. He has simply constituted himself into the biggest violator of the constitution. Where do we stop. Nigerians have indeed been over punished over the mistake of the misguided 18 million voters in the 2015 elections. We plead for God's mercy and deliverance as we enter into this struggle.

Oh God! Why did you create me to share space with these breed of unrepentant blood suckers

Imagine the poo from ACF??

A state that has had to endure unrelenting attacks from Fulani herdsmen for ages finally puts a law in place to secure her citizens and you call that law rubbish

These people, from ACF, to Nig Army, Police, APC governors of northern origin to Reps of Myetti Allah are all working together to annihilate the minority tribes of MB!!

Who still wonders why Buhari has maintained a deadly sinful silence over the killings??
His silence is aligned with what these people have been bold to say!!

If Buhari was not the president, he would have been the loudest voice making screaming headlines about how the anti-open grazing law would spill the blood of the baboons on the streets!!!

Nigerians had better wake up because every region is a target! We cannot continue to live in fear! We must all rise up to challenge the killer in aso rock now or never!!


They used those minorities as willing tools to get to their position of power and since their main opponents have been silenced, now is the time for them to be put in their place..
I don’t have any sympathy for them, infact they should raise the numbers of those killed from 72 to 72000

Their (ceremonial) leaders are usually from the Middlebelt or Christian minority part of the North. You can see the name of the spokesman, Tony. Paul Unongo leading the Northern Elders Forum.
I give it to the Fulani and their native intelligence. They may not parade academic degrees, but they have superior intelligence as compared to the noise making Southerners. That is why they run things in this country.
They put up these fools with Christian or Southern names with no real power. Meanwhile, the real power brokers are in the background quietly pressing the buttons.

Anthony Sani is such a shameless old fool

Benue killings: ACF sets up committee on anti-grazing law

Published January 13, 2018

Pan-Northern socio-cultural group, the Arewa Consultative Forum, said it had constituted a committee on how best to handle the anti-open grazing law which has been a bone of contention in some parts of the North.

The implementation of the law is currently causing crises in Benue, Taraba and Adamawa states, leading to the killing of hundreds of citizens and the destruction of property.

The Secretary-General of the ACF, Anthony Sani, told one of our correspondents in Kaduna via the telephone on Friday that the constitution of the committee became necessary because the forum believed the clashes bordered on occupation rather than on ethnicity or religion.

Sani, who did not name members of the committee, blamed governors for enacting laws that were not “implementable” just as he knocked the Fulani herdsmen for not “forgiving those who offended them.”

He said, “The ACF has actually constituted a committee on how best to go about the anti-open grazing law with a view to stopping clashes between herdsmen and farmers and improving the volume and quality of the livestock industry in the country.

“This is because the forum believes the clashes border on occupation rather than on ethnicity or religion. The committee has yet to submit its reports to the forum. It is after the submission of the report that well-informed positions on this important subject can be taken. Any law which cannot be implemented for whatever reasons in the interest of all the people should be reconsidered for performance.

“How frustrated we are with the challenges of community living should not make us believe that acts of revenge can address our concerns and bring about the peace needed for socio-economic development.

“There can be no justification for taking it out on innocent people under the pretext of revenge through reprisals. If God can forgive our transgressions, we should also forgive those who transgress against us.

“So, let the herdsmen and farmers come together and unleash their synergy against the collective challenges for a common interest. The two occupations are not mutually exclusive.”

@malton. Please, how do we get our Governors to leave NGF and start MBGF? Please, we need to act fast!

malton:


It's a very unfortunate situation, bro.

Regrettably, there's very little we can do about this current crop of leaders. They grew up in an era where the "one north" tag was "cool." In truth, they all benefitted from it. So, it'd be hard to convince them otherwise at this moment.

For the future, however, there's a lot that can be done. First, we will need to create an agenda, then sell it to the people. Current happenings make achieving this a bit easier easy.

The challenge I see though, is, while suffering unites us, politics divides us.

We will need a majority to make this a political movement.

Oxalic:


Yes. A political movement in this regard is needed with utmost urgency. I'm glad you have seen it exactly the way I do. Current happenings makes achieving this dream a bit easier. The two of us can start a movement for this purpose online and subsequently launch it offline. Let us write our names in the history of MB.

malton:


True talk, bro.

We shall overcome.

Our people need to be made to see things differently.

Oxalic:

Your Governor is a goon. Do you have something like a youth forum in Plateau State? This is our first line of target. Here, we have Benue Youth Forum, and the Youth Leader is vibrant.

malton:


Lol. He's worse than that.

Yes, we do. Several youth platforms even.

There's the Plateau Youth Council, the Plateau Youths G17 Peace and Progressives Forum (which proposed a bill seeking the ban of open grazing), among others.

Also, the governor got criticized in various quarters in the state over his senseless remarks. That forced the idio.t to apologize.

Oxalic:


Hahaha. So he falls well below the ignoble rank of a goon. That's true.

Anyway, see how you can get in touch with the leaders of the various platforms to push forward the agenda. I'm sure at least one must subscribe to the idea.
