Every community must begin to organize and mobilize against the Fulani invasion in Nigeria.

If the local hunters hadn't involved themselves in the hunt for this criminals, we would have been told it's ESN or BLA (IPOB) and we would have foolishly believed them.

The WOKE ones among us will start making statements like:

"The East let this misfortune happen to them. When these guys were attacking the military (defending themselves from security outfits who came to kill them for seeking for Biafra), they were hailing them. Now the evil has turned on them."

Yet, these same people we call criminals (ESN) are the reason the SE hasn't experienced any form of mass murder like what's going on in various part of Nigeria, nor have they been seen attacking locals and killing them in mass.

Very shallow way of reasoning by the Ronus. The South East knows their enemy: the bloodthirsty Fulani militia.

As it is now, the South East is arguably the safest region in Nigeria (with fewer kidnap or banditry activities) because of their ever-vigilant locals.

Before you come quoting, try visiting Google to avoid disgrace incurred out of sheer ignorance.

Meanwhile, how many times will this news hit the front page? Here is the same news from just yesterday:

Nairaland mods, please try to stay professional. You've been committing this same error for the past few weeks.

I hate Nigerians , you will think this Kidnappers were spirits but I guess it's same Nigerians kidnapping hungry people like us, why would you kidnap mass transport bus and children in schools?, I am sure the police in the local regions and villagers there know them because they are their sons and husbands but keep mute because they bring the goodies to them. Glad they took their nonsense to Abuja now, maybe the government will take things serious, they have been dealing with neighbouring states while they government turn dead ears till monkey turn bamboo go the master state

I hope the Nigerians you hate include those very close to you? Not all Nigerians are bad

Enugurangers:

I don't understand the point of this post. ESN are commiting crimes coupled with cannibalism as well. And SE is not the safest - I don't know who you are trying to deceive.

Akinto the ignorant Twitter user who posted that shit probably, hurriedly, posted such when the Nigerian army was busy burning down people houses because of their brawl with Simon Ekpa Biafran Liberian Army (BLA).

Is it that you didn't see it, here of it or you are just being ignorant?

FYI, I have people back there and no one has ever reported, complained or talked about a shit like this.

All they keep saying is they are being attacked and punished by the military for BLA crimes. A Wicked act that happens no where in this damn country.

Come think of it, he clearly stated ESN activities (Ekpa BLA masqueradeing as ESN) not ESN. He never said they killed or burn the houses. Use your head.

As regards to the safety, I don't know why you decide to choose ignorance over a quick research despite carefully instructing you not to do so.

Come on! A little research would have helped.

If you want me to give you more, I will. And even out Nairaland. You all should keep deceiving yourself while the the blood thirsty Fulani militias over run your communities. Rubbish. 😐
