The United Nations On Friday lamented that conflicts, mainly from Boko Haram terror activities and killings by herdsmen, have claimed at least 26,000 lives in North-east of Nigeria, while battles globally had displaced over 65 million persons. The UN Nigeria Representative, Mr. Edward Kallon, disclosed this in Maiduguri, Borno State, while marking this year’s World Humanitarian Day (WHD). Kallon noted that in the North-east, civilians continued to bear the brunt of the conflict that led to widespread forced displacement, abuse and violations of international humanitarian and human rights law. According to him, women, men and children face grave humanitarian rights violations, including sexual and gender-based violence on a daily basis. He further disclosed that in the insurgency affected region, thousands of women and girls had been abducted, while children continued to be used on regular basis as so called “suicide” bombers. “Thousands of families have been forced to flee their villages and communities in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. Aid and medical workers, who care for people affected by the violence, suffer the consequences of insecurity. “Three aid workers were killed and three abducted in March this year in Rann; an aid worker was killed in Ngala in May. A member of National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) was killed in Damasak just last week,” he lamented. He noted that a vast majority of humanitarians working to provide life-saving aid to people in need were Nigerians and condemned the killings and abduction of aid workers, urging parties to the conflict to allow humanitarian workers discharge their duties as it would facilitate their access to people in need, and in line with International Humanitarian Law. He also pressed for the release of abducted aid workers. “I call on Nigerian leaders to do everything in their power to protect the people caught up in conflict. Together, we stand with the Government of Nigeria, in solidarity with civilians in conflict, and with the humanitarian workers who risk their lives to help them,” he declared. According to him, civilians in conflict zones continue to be killed and maimed, deliberately or indiscriminately, thereby forcing a large number of people to flee from their homes. The UN Nigeria Representative said: “This year’s commemoration marks the 15th Anniversary of the attack on the United Nations in Baghdad, Iraq, during which 22 of our colleagues were killed. “Since that tragedy, which led to this day’s designation as WHD; over 4,000 humanitarian workers have been killed, injured, detained or kidnapped.” He said that the WHD; was to express solidarity with people affected by humanitarian crises and pay tribute to workers that helped victims of conflict and violence. On devastations of conflicts, he said: “Children are recruited by armed groups and used to fight, while women are also abused and humiliated.” He observed that though humanitarian workers deliver aid and medical workers provide for people in need, they were however; targeted or treated as threats. Governor Kashim Shettima said that 1.5 million people had been displaced by the nine-year insurgency. He said out of the displaced people, 164,000 had returned to their liberated communities in Mobbar, Dikwa, Gwoza, Ngala, Konduga, Bama, Damboa, Mafa and Askira/Uba councils. He said that Abadam and Marte council areas were not secured enough for IDPs return to their communities. According to him, the two council areas were vulnerable to insurgents that were recently pushed to the Lake Chad Islands by the military. http://www.akelicious.net/2018/08/boko-haram-herders-kill-26000-in-north.html

The worst part is that the government is doing little or nothing about it. I blame Nigeria govt. For this because any country is bound to have crisis like this and it is left for government to act. That is one of the reasons we have leaders, so they should do something to curtail this problem and stop feeding Nigerians with fabbles of lies. |

RevenGeMission: there is no bad belle in what i am saying. It is a fact that you are not safe in the country. The thing is security in Nigeria is below par most especially when it comes to herdsmen and other related terrorist acts. You mean hundred of terrorists of biafra or what? Bros stop this lie, there is no hundred terrorists arrested but few arrested has be negotiated with chibok girls. You and i know that it is true. Buhari has been saying that he has defeated bokoharam yet bokoharam has be keeping our soldiers. They are gracing frontpage everything. Stop being zombic when things are not working in your country. Or you think it is only by opening fire or tear gas on thousands of biafra 'terrorists'? |

Humchi: You are full of shyytt , literally , this is not about Biafraudenese and their touts , this is about the North and perpetrators of crime in the north several news sources are abound but you won't see anything good in that That python dance operation was to check criminality until Kanu's boys decided to attack the army and boy am i pleased at the outcome !! Nigerian airforce carried out almost similar operation in Ogun state , they bombarded the creeks and waterways , that exercise cost some familiues their lives and houses, but did you see any Yoruba attack army or airforce ? No even with Yoruba casualty Python was crawling on it's own before your touts decided to show up , cause and effect, law of motion btw https://cyboknews.com/troops-of-1-division-nigerian-army-raid-bandits-hideouts-in-zamfara-state/ https://www.naija.ng/798359-photos-see-army-cattle-rustlers-zamfara.html https://theeagleonline.com.ng/army-neutralise-20-armed-bandits-arrest-three-in-zamfara/ https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/05/ambode-seeks-world-banks-assistance-transport-energy-water-sectors/ https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/06/army-troops-raid-bandits-camps-zamfarakill-5/ https://allafrica.com/stories/201607170048.html those are links i could find for now , i'm in a bit of a hurry , i'd send you more if you insist on this madness |

RevenGeMission: when having a discussion with someone you should atleast maintain manners and decorum approach. Calling me a 'full of shit' would have landed you in hospital if it were to be real life discussion. And i know you you are man enough to maintain a decorum. With that being said, lets get down with what you are saying. I mention biafra because, i don't know the 'terrorists' arrested. I thought may be you re referring to biafra 'terrorists' whose hundreds were arrested. To the link you provided, 1. Only happened in zamfara 2. The links which are about 5 or 6, are only saying two security interventions. I was thinking i would see six different security acts but lo a link of cattle rustlers and one are the same stories with others. 3. The links have no boko haram terrorist arrested nor a fulani herdsmen arrested. It is only a zombie that will buy this piece of crap you wrote down . You should have brought in a link indicating fulani herdsmen who are causing the mayhems in benue, taraba, adamawa being arrested. |

If i say you are full of shytt , it's because you are , not because i am insulting you it's an expression it means most of what comes out of your writing / mind is a fat lie , that lie may include twisting and deflection, which you did over again so i maintain my earlier statement , Secondly , You simply assumed you are talking to someone you are older or bigger than , If you don't die , then we'd both be pretty messed up if i tell you to your face you are full of shit and you attack me , trust me , those who tried even while in the UNI , it didn't end so well now to the main discourse i never mentioned Biafra, I wouldn't mention it in this subject matter, you let your mind stray there, you made assumption and deflected hence why i said you are FOS ,, i am pretty certain you didn't read through the links i sent you , but then i offered to send more if you asked, so enjoy and have a blast particularly the arrest and interception in Taraba as requested and the arrest linked with Jos massacre , No matter how hard we try i am pretty certain you'd never agree Buhari is doing his best and the army is also doing what they can , so , just stay off my mentions Humchi: https://thecitizenng.com/military-launches-operation-whirl-stroke-against-herdsmen-in-benue-nasarawa-others/ https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/05/joint-police-military-operation-kills-10-armed-herdsmen-taraba/ https://punchng.com/breaking-herdsmen-killings-army-launches-44-day-operation-in-benue-taraba/ https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/tags/fulani-herdsmen-arrested-benue/ http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/nigerian-soldiers-arrest-92-armed-fulani-herdsmen-in-abuja/ https://www.pulse.ng/gist/metro/3-suspected-fulani-herdsmen-arrested-by-nigerian-army-id8318727.html http://dailypost.ng/2018/02/11/fulani-herdsmen-police-go-tough-herders-arrest-32-violating-benue-open-grazing-law/ https://www.pulse.ng/gist/metro/10-fulani-herdsmen-arrested-for-destroying-farmlands-in-benue-id8046382.html http://saharareporters.com/2018/06/28/soldiers-arrest-two-fulani-herdsmen-one-other-involved-plateau-killings https://www.naija.ng/803858-just-in-soldiers-arrest-92-herdsmen-in-abuja-photos.html http://saharareporters.com/2018/06/26/soldiers-arrest-five-burning-fulani-community-herdsmen-who-killed-18-earlier-attack https://cyboknews.com/troops-of-1-division-nigerian-army-raid-bandits-hideouts-in-zamfara-state/ |

Good for them since that's the part they chose for themselves. Wake me up when the number gets to 1 million. I have never seen people so backward, primitive and self destructive like these northerners. Already, they are today the world's poorest, most diseased, most illiterate, most suicidal, most backward etc yet they are the ones ruling Nigeria and some people still wonder why Nigeria has remained stunted, retarded and grossly underdeveloped. We can continue tolerating these barbarians and their excesses indefinitely, so something must give. It's either we limit our contact with them through semi autonomy or outright breakup. These guys are obviously doomed going forward and we ain't going down with them. NEVER!!! |
