This was my submission. Note the bolded
I do not believe this. The Mambilla attacks took place in June 2017. All accounts by the police, fulani leaders themselves and Taraba govt in 2017 put the figures to between 18 and 100. The then Apc chairman of Taraba state, Alhaji Hassan Ardo who is from Mambilla addressed a world press conference after the killings and said 100 persons were killed. This was broadcast on TVC news. His brother was killed in the attack.
Suddenly in January 2018, JNI and Emir Sanusi started brandishing figures between 700 and 800.
I believe it is a lying propaganda

ItsMeAboki:


You must be naive if you expect the police and the Taraba govt (who are implicated in the killings) to give you accurate figures and not to downplay the casualties for fear of inciting and attracting reprisals - this is standard practice for both police and govt.

Note: these are not just ordinary casual figures but each of the 728 victim was carefully identified by name with the actual date of when and where he/she was killed.

Deny as much as you want; however, your denial can never erase the pictorial evidence of this well researched documentary nor the words of the Ag. GOC 3 Division NA, Jos, Brig. Gen.Benjamin Ahanotu (a southern Christian) who after assessing the killings described it as a GENOCIDE AGAINST THE FULANI WORSE THAN BOKO HARAM because even boko Haram spare women and children as oppsed what the Mambilia militia did to the Fulani.

Most disturbing and sad is the fact that the police was able to make some arrests but later forced to release the perpetrators on the orders of the Taraba State Government, through its Attorney General; these murderers have subsequently remained free men till date to the chagrin of their surviving victims and their relatives/friends.

CAN is playing a dangerous game of politics with religion; we all know that no one is currently being killed because of their faith, in fact more Muslims are being killed than Christians; therefore giving the ongoing crisis a religious colouration is potentially explosive likely to further divide Nigerians along the usual fault lines - before we know it , we could easily revert back to those unfortunate days of religious intolerance and rioting.

I can see how sick you are. Don't let me insult you ooo.
Re: CAN Reacts To Trump’s Warning To Buhari On Killing Of Christians by samsono30: 6:51am On May 03, 2018


The issue is that Christians tend to be loud mouths who wail and lament at every pinch, with support from their media. That is why if one Christian gets killed everybody hears, while when even hundreds of Muslims get killed, the Muslims will just pray for their brethren and move on.

As for talking sense to them, don't bother, I have grown to realise that it is their sense of hatred alone that drives them, not a sense of logic or desire to reason. When you are acting from an inferior logical standpoint, you have to resort to defamation and disparagement of your competitor in order to retain credibility, at least among the petty minded masses who form the majority of their worshippers.

As for the statements of Trump, they are just ecstatic because they do not really believe in a real God that can help them, despite their hypocritical assertions. They therefore are happy to have had an assistant deity in the person of Trump, to make any kind of promises to them.

Ignore them, they will get tired eventually.


How do you expect the muslems to cry out, how will darkness criticize darkness? can evil fight evil? when both are working for the same agenda, why will the cry out when they all know the motto of Islamic movement is knife and sword. Better sit down and check your head. Ask yourself question of which path you are trailing in life?

I'm happy someone is intelligent enough here on this matter. I'm a Christian but I'll never support the way CAN is approaching this matter and personally I don't even think it's biblical as it tend to make other victims from other religion sub-human; my own bible didn't teach me that. It is unfortunate that this sensless killings lingers on till now but our religious leaders must exercise caution inorder not to turn this into religious war.
We must understand that everybody is first human before we can even talk about our believes and every human is important. If our govt at all levels is failing in this regard, our religious leaders can't afford to tow same line.

You are foolish and useless Christian. how I wish you be living in the north where your whole family will get kill and burnt in the church. Can you stand to see how your siblings will be slaughtered with knife in your present and suddenly God save your like by a means of Gods miracle, can you live with that? if then in your head agree to that then you can come back and type that rubbish back. if your head is not working we are at war long time ago if you don't know, this war began since 90s if your not in Nigeria.

Muslims are being killed in far greater numbers than Christians.

Muslim leaders have severally condemn the killings, don't know how many times you want them to do so in order to satisfy you; the Sultan had even ordered the MACBAN to carry out a thorough investigation and report those behind such killings within the Fulani community.

Assuming Muslim leaders had remained silent; pls explain how such silence could possibly amount to complicity, connivance or support for such killings that would warrant CAN to come out make it as if the killings were being targeted at Christians?

Do you know that such untrue and unfair statements could cause tension between Muslims and Christians and easily lead us back to the days of religious intolerance and rioting - they are treading on dangerous waters?

1)If Muslims are killed in far greater number, you are keeping silent and making Buhari think that Muslims believe that it is right to kill.

2) We know that the Sultan just said it so because Christians were shouting too much or he was trying to say something.

3) What is the religious intolerance in saying stop killing Christians? Why did Boko Haram go to Dapchi in broad daylight to release Muslim girls and fail to release Leah? If you are objective, you will notice a systematic ethnic cleansing in Christian populated areas too.

I am for fighting between Christians and Muslims. We (Christians, Muslims and other religions) just have to tell Buhari to stop being biased.

THEY LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF VANDALISM AND DEATH: BEWARE OF THE TRICKS TO WAR! *"Be vigilant, wary of those who kill for political reasons to resurrect religious war"*

~W.F. Kumuyi

When commissioned Dogs of War attack your communities dressed in a particular form to mislead you, such that they even get into a church building to knock off a certain number of people, what do you do?

Do you go about killing Hausas and Fulanis in your immediate environment and even proceed to burn down their mosques just simply because you think or believe that the killers were Muslims? What if the killers are what I refer to above as Commissioned Dogs of War?

Ok, if the invasion of a church by gunmen to kill worshippers triggers you to begin attacking and killing Muslims and even burning down their mosques, who should Ozubulu community people have attacked when gunmen killed dozens of worshippers in a Catholic Church there last year?

When bombs were going off almost every Friday in mosques in Kano few years ago, which people should the people of Kano have attacked?

Up till now "Boko Haram" suicide bombers detonate and kill themselves with bombs alongside others in mosques in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, who should the people in those towns or villages attack or whose property or worship centre should they burn down?

Zamfara people are also being killed by the same variant of Dogs of War, so who should they also revenge on?

All killings are bad, reprehensible and condemnable. But it shouldn't be deliberately turned into an ethno-religious propaganda tool for mischievous political ends. There are certain persons or groups who would rather have the country go up in flames than to have the country focusing on how much they stole and ruined the country. These killings benefit only them.

Don't fall for their antics!

Stop saying all these nonsense. I have spend all my life in north, in fact have spend 35 yrs in the North and there is nothing u say that make you right. if you don't know ask. from time of zango kataf in Kaduna till Jos crisis started in 2000 all has being religious and let me tell everybody here something you will all keep in your head, this is jihad on a low key so as to reduce the most powerful force before the realize it. check Northeast, some state yet to embrace Islam in middle belt, those are they places they are concentrating on so that in few years the would have reduce them to nothing both in religion, leadership, tribe, and also have power to enforce Islam on them by force and if you don't covert they kill you, all those Moslems killed by book haram is because to them they are not practicing the real islam, which is true the book haram are they ones practicing real islam even if you are a Yoruba or Igbo moslem you are not save in this country because the believe you are not a real moslem. Time will come when they will still behead those Yoruba and Igbo Moslems but fiat thing first, let them take over Nigeria first. Even with herdsmen killings is another strategy of continue jihad in disguise and not to tarnish Buhari's govt because he is their brother. let Buhari leave the presidency and another Christian rule, you will see the different in their ruthless killing. that's why the believe that Quran has made them understand that infidel shld'nt and never shld they allow infidel to rule them.

Would you expect the Chairman to go against his own party lead govt, where the governor, speaker, LG chairman, Attorney General etc were all implicated with the planning, execution or cover up?
Like I had already said, it is customary for official figures of any uprising to be scaled down for security reasons in order to dampen fears and allay reprisal attacks.

Although I was not privy to the alleged Ardo's statement; however, one can imagine his disclosure was most likely immediately after the massacre and therefore premature - that could represent an under estimate of the casualties.

This was seemingly corroborated by the Brig. Gen. Benjamin Ahanotu who spoke of bodies of the wounded that later died from their injuries in the bush were still being found - I want to believe his assessment was more factual and accurate due to his neutrality.

I also wonder why you consider the hurriedly put up figures of a party chairman immediately after the event more credible than detailed figures, with names and dates, acquired through thorough research with the benefit of several months hindsight?

Like I said before; you are free to believe what you want; however, the records are there and I believe the graves these ppl too still exist for anyone who needs to verify.

Is thr in the Quran, go and read Surah 2 - al-baqarah 191 you will see the order given to moslem to kill the disbelievers.

If you think that Moslem killing Moslem is good for u or think it is a Moslem tradition, pls they should limit it to Moslem vs Moslem.

Currently their main target is the president, they are using his ethnicity and religion to discredit him; unfortunately the damage their cause will continue to remain with us long after he is gone - that is why it is important to checkmate it whenever we can.
Babangida was a muslim, there was no cry of genocide by christian, Abacha too held sway, still Christians didnt cry of Geneocide,Abdulsalam, Yar adua and Shehu shagari were all one time president of Nigeria and yet christians annd muslims lived in peeace.dont u think that something wrong is going on and the Nigerian Christians are not fools.think!

Well, unfortunately the statements on which based your point were factually incorrect and therefore invalid.

In fact even Shagari had problems; he had the Maitasine, which the equivalent to present day Boko Haram - coincidentally it was Buhari as a military commander who ruthlessly put it down.

More Muslims killed in Zamfara not to talk of the North East than those states put together; at one time, June 2017 no less than 728 mainly Fulani women and children were killed by the local Taraba Christian militia - you can click 'Mambila genocide' in youtube and see for yourself.

These ppl were buried quietly without media hype and fanfare; considering the huge number of casualties involved, you would have thought Christian religious groups like CAN would have come out with statements of condemnation like they hypocritically insist and expect from Muslims whenever their Christian brethren suffer such casualties - so far we are yet to hear anything from them except to selectively politicise the Benue killings.

That means you were wrong to have insinuated that people nobody is killed in Nigeria on the basis of his or her faith. Not aware of who's responsible for the Mambilla killings? We know Fulani herdsmen and bokoharam (all muslim terror groups) are responsible for the killings in Benue, Taraba and Plateau; all christian states and the whole world knows their agenda.
