Umahi should give Cross River ultimatum because this is where it is needed.

Instead of focusing their energies on their one enemy, the Fulani herdsmen. They keep killing themselves.

Indeed the writer of games of throne is a wise man

Eddiots everywhere. They kill themselves, Fulanis also kill them. When they see Fulani, they flee in fear. They only have muscle when they see their neighbor tribes. Fools! Shey this is how Nigeria will peacefully split?

Our leaders really need to wake up to their responsibilities.

Proactive measures would have been taken in these regard to curb this menace.

Unfortunately, most of our leaders are focused on their re-election campaign while their people are dying everyday.

This is totally unacceptable.

Leaders of this country owe all Nigerians security of lives and properties.

Shekinah.

Just imagine what we are doing to ourselves....


Who is the enemy now?

Very pathetic

I am bothered because the country cannot split like this. The clashes will give Fulanis more power. This clashes will stop agitation for seceesion because the military will be all over the place
