Why are they protesting in Enugu
It's a neighboring state that has spillover both ways, plus they are also resident there

GOD PUNISH UNCIRCUMCISED PIGS

But on a more serious note, herdsmen killing in Benue is a serious security risk to South East. Benue is just"a stone throw " from Enugu. The Jihadist can not be so close to our boarder and we keep quiet

If Benue folks are wise they should be strategizing more with South East for Security instead of wasting their time with clueless Northern governors forum that has benefited them nothing

Moves to indiginalize Fulani herdsmen begin in Kogi
In compliance to Governor Yahaya Bello’s directive that traditional rulers in Kogi state should accommodate Fulani men in their councils and communities as indigenes, the Obadofin of Kabba, Oba Michael Yusuf has inaugurated a 13-man committee to be in charge of the implementation of the directive.

Inaugurating the committee in his palace, Oba Michael Yusuf said the committee has in its possession forms to be given to the Chairman of Miyeti Allah, Alh Ibrahim Sheidu who will in turn give to his member for registration.

The forms, according to the monarch, would help the community access all required information about the herdsmen and subsequently indigenalised them.

He disclosed further that it is part of the committee’s responsibility to ensure peace between the community and the herdsmen when the need arises.

Oba Yusuf who said the committee members are to meet fortnightly, urged the herdsmen to always report to the committee whenever farmers offend them rather than resort to violence.

He noted that it is not in all cases that the Fulanis are guilty but might have been provoked by the action of the farmers.

Members of the committee are: Chief Paul Olurinjon (Chairman), Chief Obatoke Oloruntoba (recording secretary), P/C Aiyedun Joseph (Police Rep), Moses Amoo (DSS Rep), Alh Ibrahim Sheidu (Miyeti Allah’s Head in Kabba).

Other members are Chiefs Bello Obahawo, Samuel Ojutalayo, Ayodele Okono, Ogedengbe Obatoweshe, Obapinwo Fadile, Arokoyo Bolaji, Abiodun Obafegbewo and Obamowe Olojo.

The moderators should stop bringing any topic about the Fulani herdsmen killings to the front page, it is affecting the UNITY of this country!
And the killings by the herdsmen and the tacit support by the government by being silent is doing what to country?



Will you still make this comment if the herdsmen destroy your village, rape your mother and kill your father?

HUNDREDS of indigenes of Benue State residing in five states of the Southeast geopolitical zone on Saturday staged a peaceful protest in Enugu the Enugu State capital over the incessant killings of their people living in their home state by suspected Fulani herdsmen. The states are Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.

The protesters who had initially planned to begin the peaceful demonstration at Michael Okpara Square, Enugu before they were stopped by the Police, shifted to Nike Lake Hotel at the outskirts of Enugu metropolis apparently to avoid clashes with security operatives.

The Spokesmen of the protesters, Chief Abel Abah the Ochidoma of Enugu State, Reverend Ternenbe Tor of Universal Reformed Christian Church and Dr David Wayas of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in their separate speeches, told reporters that they were under the auspices of “Concerned Benue Indigenes Resident in Eastern Nigeria”, and appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to do the needful by stopping the incessant killings.

They vowed to defend themselves if the authorities refuse to check the spate of killings in their home state, wondering why the President Buhari led Federal government classified the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a Terrorist group while the Fulani herdsmen who have been killing innocent people are left to roam about the streets scot-free.

The group also expressed their support to the anti-grazing law enacted by their home State Governor, Ortom, and called for its implementation. They also insisted that the anti-grazing law is meant to protect their people from the menace of Fulani herdsmen.

They also called on the Governors of the South East of the country and other political leaders in the country to come to the rescue of Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau States, predicting that the South East zone is likely to be the next target.

Some of the placards carried by the demonstrators read: “Enough is Enough of the Benue Killings by Terrorists Herdsmen”, “Cattle cannot be given more attention than human lives”, “Your cows are not more valuable than. Human lives”.

On to the topic,it is a laudable move. In saner climes once an issue escalates/develops to a certain point,a protest is what will ring a loud bell to the government.......But not in the shithole.

Those of you quoting me, have you forgotten when IPOB topics were banned or pulled down in this forum for the sake of the country's UNITY? What goes around, comes around!


What do you mean? So you expect us to bury our heads under the sand?
What causes disunity is the killing that goes on. Ipob did not shed a single drop of blood. People deserves to know what happens. Don't blame the mods, blame the idiots who have not done what they need to do.

You don't need a fortune teller to tell you that SE and SS are the next target.
When the army have left their primary role of assignment and are now breeding cows

In civilised countries this will not be tolerated.

Nigerian are not complaining now until the army start using this trick to
establish cattle colonies throughout Nigeria for their Fulani brothers.

The head of state being a Fulani man and also a cow breeder should not translate to, the whole country being turn into a cow colony. (Nigeria First)
There are universities and colleges of agriculture scattered all over the federation, they should be the
the ones carrying out these project not the army.(This is a very big distraction.and corruption of the first
order, because these cows will end up in Fulani leaders cow farm. after having used Nigerian tax payers
money to breed these cows). It will go the way of DICON which was taken over by Danjuma and looted
into extinction, after trillions of naira had been pump into the said project.

Nigerians wisen up.

This could have been a better method of training our youths in various
Universities and colleges of education so that when they come out, they will be able to
to establish cattle farms not colonies and create thousands of job which Nigerians badly needed.


For the fact that buhari is the commander in chief and also is the patron of cow breeders association shouldn't translate into all the army Barack been turn into cattle colonies.

These politicians will come out now telling you they want to create job and Nigeria will believe
them. Ly Mohammed will come out to say thousand of job will be created by masquerade
you will begin to wonder were did Nigeria go wrong by being blessed with these unfortunate
type of clueless politicians.
In terms of job creation Nigeria is a gold mine not foreign type that will tomorrow depart
the country if the economic climate become unfavourable but the indigenous one will remain
the government own will be looted and abandoned.
The one that will remain is the one operated by indigenous one that have susession plan
embeded in their genenotype .
Corruption in whatever form beclouds our sense of reasoning, however we will be the last to know.

ANYBODY THAT HAVE BEEN TO BENUE KNOWS THAT THE PEOPLE THERE DONT LOOK LIKE NORTHERNERS, THEY DONT DRESS LIKE NORTHERNERS AND THEIR NAMES IS NOT NORTHERN.

THE LANDSCAPE MATCH WITH THE SOUTH AND HOW THEY ENDED UP NORTHERN, ONLY GOD KNOWS.


At a latter day I will tell you how the carrot was thrown at them and they seized it because
it favoured them then. Just the same way "We the people of the north"" are breeding like rats
now for political advantages.which will turn into a self destructive time bomb.
The rate of crime in the north now is unequal anywhere in the planet but they are not reported.
and their brothers in charge of all the security services prefer to demarket the south.

In a war of domination just like what Julius ceaser did during the roman empire conquest war,
those you can not defeat, throw a carrot at them use them and after despense of them. I don't
think Benue case is any different. These also plays out in politics. You will notice very soon that
some low brain politicians from the south will be championing re election of this present
disaster called government.
