Lalasticlala, e don be. From Edo to IMO and Ogun state. SS, SE and SW have been fully invaded.

Don't forget Suleiman's story that graced FP yesterday about herdsmen arrested plotting attack only to have been released by police, then herdsmen shooting in IMO that featured on FP this morning and now this.

Is this the next level?

Nigerians should start learning how to defend themselves.

Like play like Nigeria is under d siege of these herdsmen no thanks to d slowpoke in charge.. Dey have found anoda playground jus like Mali

I don't know why I have problems believing stories from social media. The media never tells a story as it is.

If my babe narrates a story for me through social media, I'll have to meet her at home to tell me the real truth.

Please next time there's a herdsman in your vicinity, take a picture to corroborate any future allegations. They are not ghosts. At least we get to see pictures of other perpetrators

Hmmmm

Someone was right when he called Nigeria a zoo

Well, I have never had a violent encounter with them.
And I believe I won't because I won't be rude to someone based on his ethnicity.
