I've come to take things said by these "wise" Nigerians as suspect.

So this Kpokorogi guy didn't see any need to speak when people were massacred in Benue and the rest. However now that it has happened in the Muslim north, which fits the narrative he wants to drop, he decides to give us thinking abi talking points.

This is problem with the North: being northern only.

2. After reading about how no one is talking about the Zamfara massacre, I decided to read Nigerian newspaper reports on it. Almost every newspaper reported on it but with a different frame from how they report similar mass murders. This time, “Fulani herdsmen” or, better yet, “suspected Fulani herdsmen,” aren’t the villains in headlines. ThisDay, Vanguard, Punch, Daily Trust, and so on called the murderers “gunmen.” Just gunmen. Their ethnic and occupational identities are no longer important. Of course, it’s because the victims are Muslims who are a mix of Fulani and Hausa people. The media love binaries, divisive binaries, which this story doesn’t provide.

3. A related issue is the explosion of the narrative, which has taken roots in the south and in the Christian north, that the killings by herders are motivated by Islamic jihadist expansionist impulses. (Never mind that cattle herders are usually neither Muslims nor Christians). Had this happened anywhere other than the Muslim northwest, it would have been held up as yet another confirmation of the notion that the killings by transhumant pastoralists are a continuation of the “Fulani jihad.” Those of us who pay attention to this issue know that the central and southern states are only now witnessing the horrors people in the extreme north have contended with for ages without media attention.

As I wrote in my February 4, 2017 column titled “The Dangerous Criminalization of Fulani Identity,” “Sometime in 2003 in Gombe, itinerant Fulani herders called the Udawa killed scores of farmers most of whom were ethnic and linguistic Fulani. Former Governor Abubakar Hashidu had to request federal military assistance to contain the menace of the Udawa. Similarly, hundreds of Hausa and Fulani farmers in Nigeria’s northwest get killed by transhumant Fulani herders every year. But such stories don’t make it to the national news because it isn’t ‘newsy’ to read about Fulani herders killing Fulani farmers.”

Good points.
Unfortunately the media is only interested in selling negative news which will bring out the sentiments in people.
Until we stop looking at criminal activities from a religious, political and tribal angle, we will make no head way in curbing it.

A lot of things are so wrong in Nigeria, but the mentally lazy good people will never come out and do anything about it together.

Hasn't this been what I've been screaming here that made some mad savages propelled by nothing but hate, tag me a "Fulani slave"?

Once you question popular opinion and try to analyse issues specially after they relate to this crisis, dispassionately, those little scoundrels who know next to nothing are automatically jolted into bashing the heck out of you.

Thank you Kpogeri.

ItsMeAboki:


He is saying Nigerian media is biased and showing double standards in its coverage of the killings; the media houses use clever reporting language to manipulate emotions by their choice of words in reporting the same crime e.g. in this recent case of Zamfara killings, they described the killers as GUNMEN without attaching their tribe to the crime (evidently because the victims and the perpetrators were both Hausa/Fulani); whereas you would observe the opposite if such crime were enacted in the south or north central where the victims are presumably Christians; that would be when the same media would usually find cause to attach tribe/religion to crime as well as to the criminals - whereas in reality often than not the Fulani herdsmen are in fact neither Muslims nor Christians; nor are the killings part of any agenda of Islamic Jihad as claimed, considering again the fact that the these clashes had always been with us all the time; neither had they been confined to the south at the exclusion of the north but on the contrary even more endemic in the latter.
