Attack On Ekweremadu Got More Responses Than All The Herdsmen Attacks In 3 Years by gidgiddy: 2:36pm On Aug 18, 2019
2016, herdsmen slaughtered over 500 people in one Local Government alone called Agatu, in Benue

2018, over 3000 people were slaughtered all over Nigeria by armed killer herdsmen that year

2019, hundreds of Nigerians are already dead from the actions of the marauding herdsmen

Senator Ekweremadu goes to an event in Germany and he is bundled out of the place to his car, guess what?

Abike Dabiri
Chief John Nwodo
Ayo Fayose
Orji Uzor Kalu
Kayode Ogundamisi
Shehu Sani
South East Governors forum
And many more



All now have something worthwhile to comment on. Now they have something important to condemn.

Had it been herdsmen who struck yesterday and killed people, would all these people be rushing out in condemnation like they did with Ekweremadu?

Had Ekweremadu been a common Taxi driver based in Germany, would these people have bothered to condemn what happened? Or is it because he is a highly placed Senator?

So it takes the 'roughing up' of a Senator to get these peoples attention? Suddenly these people are asking the German Police to get the people who bundled Ekweremadu out, but they can never call on the security forces to save the people being slaughtered in Nigeria.

When armed Nigerian Soldiers were shooting and killing unarmed IPOB protesters, these people didn't care

When people are being slaughtered in Nigeria, you will hardly hear from these people

Ekweremadu gets bundled to his car and all these people suddenly know what is right and wrong.

Maybe attacking Ekweremadu was not the best way IPOB could have handled it but it seems that it is the only way to get these Nigerian politicians to understand that the people are not happy

Good. So far it's an IPOB thing, it's good news.

Ekweremadu should use his wealth and resources to teach the perpetrators a lesson starting from Kanu himself.

This men just have wealth but no sense. He can afford Kanu's life from Nigeria. Just pay the right foreign agents.


Self destruction of IPOB is good news for Nigerians

Cos they smell the potential danger of being the next victims of this same act from their own people...

Moral of the story is that unless they are or will be affected, its none of their business. Nice observation OP.

Preach!!!!!

I completely disagree with IPOB strategy but I 100% agree with the reason behind it.


We now treat herdsmen killings and rapings of entire villages as daily weather news.

It’s a very very sad state of affairs.

Mothers, sisters and daughters are scared of going to the farms to plant and harvest crops.

So many are missing all over Nigeria today. Either raped to death or killed off and buried in secret graves.

U should guard your utterances online. If any of your relation has attained the level of ikeoha in the political sphere, I don't think u will like them humiliated that way. Nnamdi kanu should not set his foot on Nigeria soil again.

Even if nobody talks, Abike must run her mouth.


We have never heard her say anything about herdsmen.

Or is she waiting for us to label them "diaspora herdsmen" before she will yarn?

You heard what the people who bundled Ekweremadu out said to him? They asked him why he is Germany to celebrate New Yam festival when Herdsmen are slaughtering people

These people dont care what political heights Ekweremadu has attained, this has not stopped insecurity or made life better for the common man

Whether Nnamdi Kanu steps his foot in Nigeria or not, the problem of insecurity, killings, economic down turn and mass suffering will not go away

Why have they refused to direct the same question to pmb. That attack is a step taken too far. They have drawn the battleline. Of course I know they can't try such in Nigeria.

If this thread don't make front page... I won't be happy

Our leaders don't care about us

The way they have been reacting since the news broke is shocking..irrespective of tribe and Party..some are Faster than the speed of light

They are doing this not for love for the senator whose constituents witnessed a brutal murder of a reverend father recently .. But fear the people might wake Up..

Nigerians wake Up... Enough is enough

Well done op... God bless you for this

You think that attack was taken too far? That sort of thing happens every day in Nigeria where people are bundled out of place they are not welcomed. The only reason it is news is because Ekweremadu is a Senator

If you think that was an attack taken too far then wait until herdsmen pursue you with AK47 then you will know what is real attack
