| It's High Time We Began Talking About States Under Siege By Killer Herdsmen. by IdyllBlog(m): 2:53pm On Apr 27, 2018 |
I think it is high time we all began talking about Benue, Taraba and other states under siege by these rampaging killer herdsmen. The newspapers record deaths in numbers daily nowadays. Listen to newspaper reviews tomorrow. You can take it for granted that another attack would be reported. News of death from herdsmen is making daily headline. The situation is horrible. Sometimes I wonder if this carnage is actually happening in the same Nigeria you and I reside. Gory sight of butchered bodies everyday. Good God! Politics aside right now. Ethnicity aside right now. Let the humanity in all of us evoke empathy for the helpless people living in the villages where this mass murder are ongoing. Let us raise our voices in unanimous condemnation and appeal for help. Who are the people behind this systemic ethnic cleansing? Who are the people profiting from this bloodletting everywhere? Who? What do they want? Nigerians cry out! Social media influencers do something! Let's draw global attention to the crime against humanity going on in these states. Mark Zuckerberg please help us to create awareness on Facebook. President Muhammad Buhari, please do something urgently. People are dying! Declare a state of emergency now! cc : Ogbeni La 1 Like 1 Share

Good point. Unfortunately, Nigerians have become desensitized to seeing their own country people killed unnecessarily, until it's their own turn to get it. Tribalism and religious differences have made it possible to justify, ignore, or even participate in killing of fellow country men, because they're not from our tribe. Yesterday it was Igbos Today it's Benue and Middle belt Tomorrow, it will be Yorubas or Hausas. 2 Likes |

Chai, NIGERIANS where is your outrage!!!! Absolutely zero love for fellow country men. In saner climes this massacre won't last one week but here we prefer to bury our heads in the sand and hope the problem will go away. GOD WON'T DO SQUAT FOR US EXCEPT WE SHOW SOME WORK!!! 1 Like |
