Senator Barnabas Gemade: Buhari’s Government Shameful, There’s Ethnic Cleansing by vanessaRN(f): 7:54am On Apr 18, 2018

Senator Barnabas Gemade has backed the call by a former Minister of Defence, TY Danjuma for Nigerians to defend themselves.

Danjuma had called on Nigerians, especially people of Taraba state, to defend themselves against rampaging Fulani herdsmen.

He added that there was an ongoing cleansing of his ethnic group, Tiv.

Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly yesterday Gemade said, “This country is becoming a state without control. It is a state in which we have seen ethnic cleansing.

“It is a shame that a sitting government could watch criminality go to the level that we have seen it today.

“Rather than rise up and take very decisive steps against it, we embark on denials and shield this evil by just explaining, with flimsy excuses, that these are communal clashes between communities.

“The carnage in Nasarawa-South affects mainly people of my ethnic group, who are in large population in Nasarawa-South. It is the same kind of killing that is going on in the Goma, Logo and Gwer West local government areas of Benue State.

“And it is the same kind of killing we are witnessing in Wukari and Takum LGAs. It is targeted at a particular ethnic nationality – my own people.

“I don’t understand why responsible people elected to control the government of Nigeria will simply turn away from the reality of this matter.

“Yet, there are people who are armed and are killing people as they like. And the Inspector-General of Police would fly by helicopter to a town, land in the market square and be asking people whether there was any militia in the town or not. And nobody seems to caution anybody. This is very sad. We have done enough of a minute silence for innocent Nigerians being killed.”

These lawmakers should stop whining and initiate moves to impeach that incompetent dullardi.nho.

Buhari is too stupendous in nepotism, lackadaisical attitude and won't do anything unless his Ass is on fire.

What is happening in middle belts states of Benue, Taraba, Nassaraw, Plateau etc is nothing but "a State Sponsored Genocide on Locals by Buhari's Govt"!
Points To Ponder.
At first, they said Anti Open Grazing Law was the cause of bloodshed. But there's no anti open grazing law in Plateau, Nassarawa, Oyo, Delta, nor Zamfara, yet scores and thousands of people were slaughtered by fulani herdsmen. When their ridiculous excuse didn't fly, they said the attacks by fulani herdsmen was caused by blockage of Ancient Outdated Stone Age Grazing Route. Are cows more valuable than humans? When their silly Grazing Route excuse didn't fly, they said it was a case of "Communal Clash" between famers and terrorist herders. But similar attacks in Zamfara state was NOT A COMMUNAL CLASH, just a case of Bandits (that warrant deployment of soldiers) according to buhari's govt.
When Communal clash excuse failed woefully, they said it was Militia armed by Benue and Taraba state govt to destabilize their states. When the excuse refused to fly, they came up with Climatic Conditions" as the cause of massacre of locals, but instead of changing to Ranching, they opted for Grazing Colony (territories) for herdsmen on southern states battling climatic conditions and limited land resources. The herders themselves refused Ranching which is by the way, the best system of animal husbandry in all climatic conditions as practiced in civilized countries.
Again when their pathetic Climate excuse failed to lift the ground, they came with a theory that Herdsmen from Libya are behind the attacks with arms shipment from Gaddafi. Interestingly, areas and communities ravaged by so called herdsmen from Libya are presently being occupied and taken over forcefully by Fulani people while people from the areas are left to wallow in sorrow in IDP camps. People's ancestral God given lands occupied by Fulani!
Notice the how the terrorist govt came up with series of different excuses to protect and shield terrorist herders to continue the genocide? It doesn't take a genius to know who is behind the genocide in middle belt.
All victims of herdsmen massacre must organize themselves and drag Buhari to ICC to answer for his crimes in the Hague when he leaves office in 2019.

But concerned Nigerians should speak out now that 'water don pass garri'.

Buhari is an epitome of what a leader shouldn't be.

Herdsmen crises is not of today, neither did it start from this administration. I am tired of politicians complaining when they know better the sources of the problem. What's on news are all lies and what they want the public to know. Herdsmen crises is a political issue just like Boko Haram to ruin a particular administration and talk about insecurities. Even in the previous administration, there was insecurities. So all talk of herdsmen this, herdsmen that are all political but until we all decided as Nigerians to embrace the truth and stop backbitting on any administration then we can get to the promise land.

Are you from mars that you can't comprehend nor follow news headlines?

Which militia group are they neutralizing? The one in your village? Those that were recently killed in Benue I presume are from Libya according to your confused insincere incompetent bigot.

Nigeria is in a state of monarchy (lack of government).
During Jonathan 's administration, money was flowing,businesses were going well,people were happy. But immediately buhari was elected as the president everything started depreciating,money no longer flows, businesses are no longer moving, hunger in the land, misuse of power, confusions in the military, NPF, and other arms of govt.

He cannot even address the county for just 30 mins.

The youths are jobless and our economy is exasperated, exeliminated.


Wouldn't it have been the best if that money spent in schooling be used to set up a business and by now he/she should be making profits.

Are the senators , judiciary, legislators, executives sleeping? What are they even doing? They all see what's going on in the country and cannot even stand for the citizens.

Lemme just copy from small goat words

Less than 100 people were killed in Syria and several nations are condemning it, placing sanctions because of how they value lives

But daily people in their tens and hundreds die in the middlebelt and some heartless individual (zombies) are defending the govt for not securing the lives of its citizenry..

I remembered saying that the killings were Islamic movement sometime around last year and I was almost eaten raw - thanks to the APC mod that banned the moniker I used back then.

Today even most elites are saying the same thing I'd foretold.

All I do now is fold my arms and listen to the wailings of Nigerians. They don't learn.

Go get your PVC today.

shocked
The crisis indeed did not start now but since their patrons are in power they have been empowered to do and undo without any harm to them... El-rufai said anyone who kills a fulani(herdsman) whether a soldier carrying out his legitimate duties will pay for it...what other motivation do one need to carry out carnage against unarmed villager who failed to give up their farms your cows to destroys...He also said he has paid Herdsmen to stop killing.

The case of Herdsmen attack have grossly increased under this administration so talk about it been in existence do not mean this govt have not failed woefully in securing lives and property in that region.. But hey cows are more valuable than human lives in their eyes so no biggy..

Unfortunately ICC doesn't have balls especially if youj give the West what they want. Buhari is also likely to win in 2019, that's the sad truth. The percentage of those that don't want him is low while the percentage of those with PVC is even drastically low
