SouthSouth leaders are funny, you want to combat Fulani menace and you use your own money to commission a command center for a Fulani controlled Army..

what is wrong with this people? wont such money be better used to arm local vigilante groups whose orders are strictly from the state government? or perhaps a Civilian / Police joint task force
