shameless govt. keep comparing with your senior brother known as pdp. to me pdp and apc, are all the same crooks. they 've no human feelings for the plights of the masses, so where is the so-called change, that apc promised nigerians?

It is wise answer to minded people not fish brain people. PDP use killing as politics that is why this list was released in order to know who are the government of murderers between then and now. But due high rate of hypocrisy people tall in different direction. Before coming of this government killing occur every where in Nigeria Mosques, Churches, Cities, Towns and Villages but due to more efforts of this government the violence restricted in only two to three states.
Shame on u PDP
Shame on u Hypocrites
Shame on u Violence lovers
I stand with BAHARI&Osinbango till 2023.

It’s a shame what these two political party has turned this nation into, playing cheap politics with the death of citizens.

The major problem we have now is that who are we to vote in now Because these political parties are damn useless

Wow. If this is true and APC wins any substantial seat next year, then Thunder Fire NIGERIA.

RuthlessLeader:

So what has bubu done to stop the killings?

And i hope you know most of us supported apc. Adesina fuckd up

What he has done or doing is another topic and discussion because Buhari is also a bigot. But the fact is PDP and APC are hypocrites, one shouldn't claim to be a saint lambasting the other while myopic and educated illeterates cheer them on.

The problems of Nigeria is like a hydra headed monster. The government of the day is doing all they can . surely no government would want a bad record on their hands as that would negatively affect their appraisal.

Common sense should let you know that they are doing all they can. Its quite obvious that the present day killings is a carefully orchestrated scheme by some quarters in order to score cheap political points.

Someone is surely behind the scenes pulling the strings of this current mayhem and playing deadly politics with the likes of you and me and those who have died. It reminded me of the comment by the late Azazi regarding the origin of boko haram when he said PDP is boko haram and Boko haram is PDP . that statement was profound d coming form the then national security adviser and a few weeks after that proclamation he was "killed".

It should show you how reckless bloodshed has been politicized in Nigeria and how it began. Today we cannot really say the so called herdsmen have not been infiltrated by the same boko haram or those sympathetic to them because really if you look at it, some of these killings are entirely senseless and just carried out to further bring confusion and discredit to this present administration.

Why would this administration be in support of killings in the areas in the north where they expect more votes?

This is simply a divide and conquer tactic at play here by some persons behind the scenes.

APC deserves a round of applause. Very hopeless people. They want to equate the death of 10,000 innocent Nigerians before they declare national mourning. Foolish sadists.

Why nigeria govt electorate nor dey write aptitude test cuz most of dem dont have sense, imagine after innocent soul have died.

You just want to suffer and smile like a fool

ekems2017:
This people are very mean. So now comparing how many people died during PDP to that of Apc is an achievement? Ok.
What have befallen those families would befall you let me see how you will feel.

It's quite a shame. Every well meaning Nigerian dead or alive should rise up against these people. The blood of these innocent people killed should rise and fight, the hour has come. We never had it this bad. Chai

Edubbs:
I have said it time and time again.
The biggest problem of our country is with the youths, males and females alike.

Look at them!

Every person commenting on this thread is equally playing politics with the dead.

Even though Mr Adesina has clearly explained himself these fools are falling over themselves to make cheap political statements.

Why this cheap hypocrisy from this PDP?

What is the meaning of flags at half mast?

What is the meaning of always playing politics with deaths when they didn't fare better when they were in power?

PDP should let other parties or pressure groups talk and let them continue to bury their heads in shame forever.

Well they know how gullible and fickle Nigerian youths are so they can feel free to continue pulling the dumbness cards of these Nigerians on nairaland.

Question:

In 16 years of power when did the PDP ever fly flags at half mast despite the death of over 20,000 Nigerians.

If you cannot answer this question then whatever politics you are playing with dead Nigerians will visit your own very family.

I have been reading dumb comments until I stumbled on yours. You really made sense brother, the man clearly stated, that wanton killings has been going on before this administration. PDP should be ashamed of themselves after reducing this country to nadir.

I Give up. Totally

THE Presidency has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of shedding crocodile tears by declaring a mourning period for people killed in Plateau state, saying that even though more people were killed under the former ruling party, it never declared a mourning period.

A statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in Abuja on Thursday, gave a list of killings under PDP which it said the party never mourned.

The statement said that it was sad and unfortunate killings in Plateau state over the weekend have been turned to an opportunity to once again play irresponsible politics, particularly by the PDP.

The PDP had on Wednesday declared seven days of mourning during which it said flags in its office will fly at half mast.

The presidency stated: “These are dolorous times that call for deep introspection on how cheap human lives have become, and the proffering of actionable ideas on how to get out of the bind. But the PDP would rather dance on the graves of the dead, playing cheap, infantile politics.

“The comatose and prostrate party is declaring seven days of mourning, during which flags in its offices would be flown at half-mast nationwide. But unknown to the party, those flags had been forcefully lowered since its 2015 loss at the polls and may remain so for a long time to come, because Nigerians are politically discerning, and cannot be hoodwinked by cheap antics.

“A quick checklist of some savage and brutal killings in Nigeria during PDP rule, between 1999 and 2015, for which no national mourning was declared:

“November 20, 1999. Odi, in Bayelsa State, was invaded on orders of a PDP President. About 2,500 people killed. No national mourning.

“Between February and May 2000, about 5,000 people were killed during riots over Sharia law in different parts of the North. No national mourning.

“In 2001, hundreds of people, including the old, infirm, women and children were killed in Zaki Biam. No crocodile tears.

“Between September 7-12, 2001, Jos, Plateau State, erupted in internecine killings. Between 500 and 1,000 people were killed. Flags were not flown at half mast.

“In February 2004, at least 975 people were killed in Yelwa-Shendam, Plateau State. No mourning by the then ruling PDP.

“Between November 28 and 29, 2008, Jos was in flames again, with 381 deaths. No mourning.

“In 2010, 992 people killed in Jos. Mum was the word.

“In 2014 alone, according to Global Terrorism Index, at least 1,229 people were killed in the Middle Belt. No mourning.

“Boko Haram killings in PDP years were over 10,000. PDP flags were still fluttering proudly in the sky.

“Those who take pleasure in twisting statements from the Presidency may claim we are saying that many more people were killed under PDP than under President Muhammadu Buhari. It would be unconscionable to do so. The intendment of this statement is to show that wanton killings had been with us for awhile; this government is working towards enduring solutions; and should be given the opportunity to do so.

“Even a single soul is precious, and no man should take a life, which he cannot create. But when tragic situations as had happened in Plateau State occur, such should never be used to play crude politics. Those who are wont to do so should have change of hearts, or lose their very humanity.”

WHAT A VERY FOOLISH COMPARISON AND CAMPAIGN OF DECEITFUL DIVERSIONS. THESE PEOPLE ARE REALLY BLOOD THIRSTY AND NAIVE IN GOVERNANCE.

Aaaaaaaaaaa! This country! U re wicked!

I am not supporting either party.

What makes me angry is the disrespect to the dead

Bantino:
What has the killings during PDP got to do with the killings in Plateau, is the job of this administration to compare number of deaths or to tackle the issues head on, which is the reason for voting them in.

This administration is just a bunch of ......

One letter 'f',two letter 'o' ,one letter 'l' and one 's'.

Quite disturbing...
Buhari and Osinbajo, their tenure stops 2019.

This is so childish gosh!

I actually thought that Femi Adeshina is wiser than Lai Mohammed nii oooo.
I can't believe them making comparison to the past administration.

Paperwhite:
Can you imagine! So APC can reduce the sanctity of human life to a killing competition? With a nation still grieving over lives lost from their connivance & gross cluelessness of governance?
APC government is full of shitcraps.Nigerians please lets arise against these idiots.Lets let them know that Nigerians own Nigeria.The government is just callous, evil and satanic to do this shit.

hmmm, killing of human beings has now become a competition in this government since the number of killing is not up to the one in this government so no need to mourn... this is human life..
pls let get our pvc..

Gaddafithe2nd:

PDP is playing divide and conquer politics. They are actually the ones fanning the flames of ethnic bigotry In Nigeria and the Nigerian youths who are supposed to be intelligent are allowing themselves to be puppets on their strings.

PHILipu1:
The truth is always bitter.
Those shouting that Buhari should resign now were deaf,dumb and blind those days that all this were going on..

PDP couldn't stop the killings in those areas, now they want Buhari to stop a menace that has been happening for more than 19 years. When OBJ finished Odi and Zaki Biam, none of his party members challenged him only few pressure groups talked about it.

CyynthiaKiss:
So APC is justifying the killing of Christians by Buhari ?

W O N D E R F U L. !!

Shut up, obasanjo is a Christian and Jonathan is also a Christian and both of them spent 13-14 years as a president and CnC. Were Christians not killed then? Just shut up..

Please shut up. Buhari in the two times he ruled this country he performed woefully. Two recessions and a batant disregard for human rights. Buhari proscribed a non violent groupp like IPOB(i don't support them) yet he did nothing to miyetti allah who act like the spokesmen for the terrorists.

Go and take your medicine.

RuthlessLeader:

Please nobody should listen to this guy.

He is a verybig fool

If you had a modicum of common sense you would pause and carefully analyse the entire scenario and not be bigoted.

The presidential elections are fast approaching and then suddenly we are having all manner of killings everywhere. Something that wasn't so 2 years ago is suddenly now a daily occurrence.

Some persons are stirring the waters of hatred behind the scenes and watching people like you reacting in ignorance to it while further giving them the results they want as they muddy the waters of Nigeria with their songs of ethnic Intolerance.

thesolutions:
Those who are wont want to do so should have change of hearts, or lose their very humanity.”



APC and Fulani herdsmen must be synonymous.

What a threat.

Why did you cross out the phrase "are wont" ? If you don't have good knowledge of the use of English, it's better you just pass. That phrase is grammaticality correct and sound.

As for the topic of discuss, no need to dignify the writer with a response. We all know the presidency is .....,.....

STUPID DEFENSE AS USUAL!


I voted change cos I was displeased with the inefficacy, body language/approach of the previous govt,


& now, the change I voted keeps giving me
dumb, daft, illogical, irresponsible & untenable excuses!


#DERANGED BUNCH!


#THIS SHITHOLE IS DUE FOR RE-COLONISATION!

I don't want to curse those that voted these idiots in, they all should join hands and reverse this wickedness they brought upon us come next election.

This is why the youths in Nigeria will never have any modicum if Intelligence in proper analysis.

Adesina never supported the killings, neither did he do a comparison per se.

He was simply showing the hypocrisy of PDP as they began to play politics with these present killings when they never showed any sign of compassion or pain during their era.

Suddenly they have now developed compassion out of nowhere.

Killings in Nigeria have always been there even from the days before obasanjo and it simply shows the levels intolerance has gotten to in our society. We no longer identify as one Nigeria but as different people or locations in Nigeria. We play ethnic politics and do not share or develop national ideals. We do not even play locational politics but strictly ethnic inclined. That is not democracy.

Those of you who cannot see beyond your ethnic hatred towards this administration are also a major part of the problems this nation has which is why a lot of you instead of critically considering what adesina is passing across you rather see from your bigoted lenses and nothing more.

By the way I am Yoruba and do not play ethnic games. If you have good to offer regardless of where you are from in Nigeria then offer it. I think its high time we all stopped this ethnicity nonsense and began living as one people and one nation. We have had enough bigotery as a nation to last many centuries.

We all need to consciously stop the collective rape of our compassion and strength in diversity we always employ on social media. Its sad to see .

Exactly! If the President could say that politicians are behind the killings he knows what he is saying. Many of our youths don't know how desperate some of how politicians are. Formal Governor of Benue state, Gabriel Suswam is in the net of DSS because he sponsored militias in his state.
