Sani is actually right; in Nigeria, people place political gains before anything else.

Sorry but I'll have to disagree with shehu on this one, they are silent because they're the sponsors... this is a planned jihad. How did the herdsmen got hold of brand new Russian Ak47 Kalashnikov automatic rifles that's worth from $2800 to $3600(over a million naira) each.... I won't fall for that poo mr Sani

Cannonleo:
haven't you heard of the word blackmarket.

We have a thriving one in libya down to western Niger under our noses and with no boundary security , there you have it

sorry but I disagree, people's lives shouldn't be used for politics. If you loose a loved one in such gruesome manner then you'll understand the word PAIN but it will never be your portion... Atiku is from the north and he's condemned the killings likewise Ibb and it didn't stop money(gains from politics)from rolling into their accounts as usual... shehu was actually referring to friends of the government and the government who are mostly fulanis the major elites you have up north, and I tell you,they know everything happening and that's why they remain tongue-tied

Shehu Sani, the senator representing Kaduna Central has revealed why Northern elders are quiet on the incessant killings of innocent Nigerians in the North.

The lawmaker who has continued to voice out on the killings of Nigerians in different parts of the country said most political elites from the North were quiet just to avoid being tagged or labelled, ”anti Buhari or anti federal government.”

Sani said with their continuous silence, the elites have succeeded in saving their neck while the neck of the masses are massacred.

He wrote on Facebook, ”Most political elites from northern Nigeria are not loudly speaking out against the mass murder going on in northern Nigeria, perpetrated by Bandits, armed Herdsmen or organised Criminal gangs out of fear that they may be tagged or labelled as anti Federal Government or Anti President.

”The elites save their necks by their silence and the necks of the masses are continuously slaughtered.”

Nope, I think you are confusing the meaning of the words 'right/wrong' with 'truth/false'. Of course people's lives shouldn't be used for politics, it is wrong, but that doesn't change the truth in what Shehu has said that a lot of northern elite who should speak up on these things are silent purely because of political expediency.

Your claim that they all remain silent because they are all part of a conspiracy is rather a myopic theory. Or are you suggesting that even the the Benue state governor Ortom is also part of the Fulani conspiracy?... Cos just until recently when things hit the roof, Ortom who is crying out now was also tongue-tied (due to politics) and was singing sycophantic praises of Buhari. Or are you also of the school that assumes every elite from Benue/Kogi/Kwara northwards are also Fulani who must be part of the Fylani conspiracy?... Are the governors and legislators from Kogi, Nassarawa, plateau, Bauchi, gombe, borno, kebbi, Niger etc also all part of Fulani conspiracy?

For IBB or Atiku to speak out, and even shehu himself, these guys are just microscopic exceptions; infact, IBB is now a spent force who can only speak out the truth now cos he's got no political ambitions anymore. Similarly, it can be argued that Atiku is only speaking out cos it is politically expedient for him (as a PDP presidential hopeful).

since it's a black market,that's to say the guns will be more expensive cos running such business is quite capital intensive. You'll agree with me that a Herdsman in the bush herding some cow for one rich Alhaji will be the brain behind such guns coming in from Libya as you assumed

Cannonleo:
nope , in sirte, there is a standing weapons market where you can find ATGMs lined up for sale at piece meal prices so also is the AK which is the most commonest assault rifle alongside G5etc, just like Nigeria Niger has a very porous boarders with the tuaregs running lose up and down.

However, most of the herdsmen's weapon bear police markings and in most cases NA reg numbers showing an internal collusion.

It goes both ways
