Gun no dey their hand?

Killing Killin Killin.. Nigeria is quite a violent and horrible place to reside..

Fulani herdsmen have struck again.
What these people are looking for in the hands of South easterners, surely they will see it.

Agents of this devilish government should stop stop killing innocent nigerians

Gun vs gun that's a fairplay.

Just shut the f**k up. Herdsmen don enter street now and not bush... These are thugs/touts creating violent scene to rob civilians and commuters.

Shit hole country

Expect another suit to be submitted to the Federal High Court praying the Judiciary to compel the Legislature to expel the South East from the Nigerian federation.

The blood on our soil Nigeria is too much.

What a thread

Why not peace instead??

These are govt agents casuing problems

A failed contraption and more.

This game the igbos are playing would not favor the Yorubas and the housa

There is need to put an end to all these killings... God have mercy!!!

Our leaders are not interested in fixing this mess, they just want to rule, if everyone dies then I wonder who they want to rule
Some of them are so keen on running for a second term after failing to achieve absolutely nothing during their first tenure, we don’t need prayers we need action and sincerity
We pray too damn much, are we expecting angel and host of heaven to take up arms and fight insurgency ?

The things we see daily in this country

Whose Report are we meant to Believe.Every body with Different story.

Buhari is tired. He care less about what happens to us. Please let's end bloodshed in our own interest

Black man and gbege na 5 and 6.

It’s been their way for few weeks now. But when the security agencies start picking them and treating them in the language they understand, their sympathizers will start wailing and tagging every foreign body on Twitter.

Blood shedding is in abundance than fuel, jobs, foods, etc. Nigeria is plagued

who go gives score abeg?

Bye bye zoo

IPOB terrorists on the beat.

Nnamdi Kanu was sent by the devil to destroy Igboland.

The Igbo business man killed was Chief Gab Ofoma, the chairman/CEO of Ofoma Associates Ltd.

IPOB claim to be fighting for Igbo people. But they keep killing Igbo people.

Ndi ara!!

The FG is even too laid back to tackle this Incessant killings the East. I thought by now the killing of Dr. Akuyili would have spurred them in bringing this killings to the barest minimum. It's affecting everyone now, both indigens and non indigenes. Oh well..... I wish them well.
