Election Don reach. That is the only thing that changed. Suddenly Osibanjo remembers us his Yoruba people, then he remembers market women. Waoo that's nice of him We are now important. Where were we or were we where when herdsmen invaded our elders farmlands. He didn't comment nor come to our rescue

Now he wants to fool us with Yoruba presidency in. Far away 2023 I will be selfish and inhuman to be enticed with that. I should tell my in-laws in Benue that lost their relatives i am supporting pmb so that Yoruba will be president in few years. That's wickedness

That secretary general of Miyetti Allah is the real "chief of Staff" to President Buhari!

He talks and thinks like President Buhari who is under Fulani oath!

The apex Fulani social-cultural organisation, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, has rejected calls for the sacking of the service chiefs.

The Secretary-General of the group, Saleh Al-Hassan, said this during an interview on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, on Monday.

A large section of Nigerians, including the National Assembly and governors, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the service chiefs for failing to protect the lives of Nigerians.

However, Al-Hassan said those calling for the sacking of the service chiefs “are corrupt politicians.”

He said, “We have documented 411 innocent pastoralists killed just in southern Kaduna for nothing. We have documented all the crises but because we want peace and want to promote the culture of peace and forgiveness hoping that our neighbours will continue to allow us to do our business.

“But the issue of arms and light weapons is a security one. I believe they (security agencies) are on top of it. With the arrests they are making, we must acknowledge the efforts security agencies have put in trying to contain criminality in this country.

“That is why people calling for the removal of service chiefs are either the corrupt politicians or the ones working for them. We should not fall for that gambit.”

Says foreign herdsmen can graze in Nigeria

Al-Hassan also rejected suggestions that herdsmen from other countries should be prevented from grazing their cattle in Nigeria.

He said the ECOWAS “free trade protocol guarantees free movement,” adding that herdsmen do not recognise international boundaries which he described as “colonial creations.”

Al-Hassan added, “You cannot just opt out of a protocol that is integrating the African continent. The pastoralist movement is not for picnics. They go there to access land resources. Also, these boundaries that you have are colonial boundaries.

“Some of them (boundaries) don’t mean anything to the herders. So, what we need to do is to domesticate the ECOWAS protocol, begin to enforce it and then we create grazing reserves for trans-human pastoralists.”

He said the solution remains ranching which must be partly funded by the government and supported by all Nigerians.

Al-Hassan lamented that every attempt by the Buhari government to establish ranches had been rejected by selfish politicians.

He said, “Policies aimed at solving these problems are strongly resisted. Attempts were made to put up a commission for grazing reserves to see how it can be done but it was shut down at the National Assembly. The minister of agriculture has been trying all his efforts to see that solutions are brought to the table but people read political motive to it and killed the policies.

“Today, we have a national livestock development plan that is well articulated but the same people saying we should ranch our cows are now saying they will not accept ranches so what are we talking about? So, we must understand the socio-political undercurrents.”

He lambasted Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State for initiating the anti-grazing law, adding that most of the arrests by security agencies showed it was Ortom’s men that were carrying out the killings.

Nairaland rules forbids the spread of false info. Yet they will copy and spread unverified stories from unofficial sources.

I'm not here to defend anyone but if I am you I would rather keep quiet when such things happen. Supposing it is actually true you get a curse by criticising men of God. Don't c wait to experience it before you know. It may even be your problem now but you don't know. Miriam for leprosy by criticising MOSES the servant of God

Another biafran killed by Fulani under a drowning pretext

Practice what you preach

Hmmm

this

People still can't see the islamization agenda. One of it is to pay people through even Christian politicians to deride men of God, reduce their influence and demystify their personality.

From Kemi to freeze to Stephenie they will soon all confess. I can even see freeze on RCCG pulpit begging God to forgive him for allowing himself to be used

See how North supports their own even if he's Osama Bin Laden. But AmaEchi will fight gej

Dear friends, there's a very important piece of history I'll like to share with you which concerns you.

On December 1, 1955, a middle-aged "negro woman" in America, Mrs. Rosa Parks, refused to stand up for a young white man who just entered the segregated bus she was ridding in. If she did, she would have had to stand all through the journey.

At that time, the bus is segregated in most parts of America: white people sit in front rows and black people sit from the back. Blacks would normally pay fare to the driver in the front, then step out of the bus and go through the back door to find a place in an already tight area at the back. If the allocated spaces for blacks are filled, all other blacks joining the bus would have to stand even when the more than half of the bus spaces reserved for whites are empty! Such was the injustice and humiliation that black Americans faced then.

For refusing to stand up for the young white man, Mrs Rosa Parks was immediately arrested, scheduled for prosecution on Monday December 5. Then the Rev. Martins Luther King and his NAACP comrades stepped in. They called out the people. They spoke about the sad realities of their existence, the terror of an unjust system and barbaric treatments in the hands of fellow Americans.

In addition to speaking out, these Black Americans decided to take action to protest that injustice by boycotting the segregated buses. The boycott began December 6, 1955.

Dear friends, here is the crux of the matter: Black Americans took action! For 1 year and 16 days, they trekked to and from work or boarded improvised pooled taxes, everyday, until the US supreme courts declared segregation unconstitutional!

During the struggle, someone offered one tired black woman a lift in his pool car, but she declined, saying, "l ain't trekking for myself, but for my children and grandchildren "!

So, dear friends, whenever we don’t take action and we feel unobligated, unconcerned,* we should simply remember the black Americans and those women. Without them, the freedom that US enjoys today wouldn't have happened, or happened too late.
Obama may not have become the President of US.

So, the questions before all of us now are: Are we slaves to the Fulani people? Are you ready to trek for yourself and your generation yet unborn as the black Americans did? Are we willing to do our own little bits for the cause of good governance and security of our people? Are we ready to act? If today, it is Benue, Kaduna, Taraba, Enugu, etc, which state or community is next? We have complained and grumbled enough. Now is the time to take action.

Dear friends, there's a general consensus that with effect from February 2018, there should be a total boycott of Fulani cow meat, including suya, kanda (skin), etc. We should discipline our appetite and make this sacrifice now to put an end to the killing of farmers because of cows.

We can get protein from chicken, goat meat, fish, pork, etc. How can we continue to patronise their business and then they turn around to kill our people and destroy our communities? Enough is enough.

Pls spread this information to people around you. Thank you. God bless.


Me thinks a ONE YEAR BOYCOTT for a start will send the right signals to this murderous fulani group and their government collaborators. FEBRUARY 1ST, 2018 is commencement date please.

Let's keep it a date.

Nonsense So if a client complains about a service you rush and bring it to the c front page for an allegation that has not been investigated. This will make some sense if it's a big organization that is using their size to intimidate a client. But to do this to an American is totally wrong and I think Seun should look into this to know who was paid to destroy someone's hustling. How many businesses use first hand pictures in Nigeria by the way
Again I repeated this on front page is wrong

SalamRushdie:
Is that his brother? Then expect Buhari to retire him in the coming days

they removed him last month https://blueprint.ng/gen-enenche-removed-as-defence-spokesman-see-latest-army-postings-appointments/

“Today, it may be Nunam in Adamwa State and nobody said anything, and then it moves to Southern Kaduna tomorrow and nobody said anything and then it is somewhere in Taraba or Birom land in Plateau and no one talks, them it shift to Benue or Kogi then it goes to Anambra and Oyo and everybody is watching until the nation is gone. God forbid!

Nice wise words, but I was expecting you to talk during the Operation Python Dance when your brother General John Enenche lied against the East and said they never went to Nnamdi Kanus house. They were only on a chase for a truck loaded with bombs. We heard all that yet you kept quiet. So it was Aba yesterday, today it is your people in Benue, and you suddenly found your voice

And you didnt kick against military action in the East where no one was killed. It is in a state where dozens have been killed and yet you called it a communal clash that military shouldnt be sent. You guys have a hidden agenda

But if it is true, it is not an arrest. Simply an opportunity to meet their senior colleague in power. They will release them with new ammunitions

i

This is one celebration that torments most Muslims. That's why Buhari will bring fuel scarcity every Christmas to fight back. I blame all the short sighted people that voted the fool

resurgentxtian4:
Let’s stop giving the Muslims/Northerners the satisfaction of knowing that Buhari’s actions hurts southerners/Christians. He would eventually leave aso rock in 2023.

No! Let it be on record, so that when they start reaping the consequences of Buharis action they will learn a lesson. With all the devastation Boko Haram has caused them it seems they learnt nothing. This is specifically for those who are in the position to speak out but kept quiet.

rusher14:
The only thing that you are complaining about that has some semblance of legality is concerning appointments.

All other suggestions are concerning stark illegalities.

You are complaining that the president is not allowing you to break the law.

So it is right when the illegality is from the North? That's injustice which is against our anthem of building s nation where peace and justice will reign

So if you interview most Igbos, they actually believe these things happen because they are the 5%
1. In Appointments.
Most political appointment by Buhari and his APC government has been concentrated on the North. Even after a public condemnation where they released names of "all' their appointments to prove no section is being marginalized. A counter investigation showed that they hid some names in their list

2. In Victimization
Igbos believe Buhari is using the tools of government like the army and EFCC to victimize their people. Reno Omokiri captured it well when he said EFCC could not arrest maina and co but were very swift in arresting Innoson MD same way they arrested Ifeanyi Uba. Another area that comes to mind is the Arewa vs Ipob issue, Some Arewa Youths called for genocide and no arrest was made even after El rufai ordered their arrest but the military invaded nnamdi Kanus house for asking for seccession. Fulani herds men have murdered thousands but are not declared terrorist instead a special fund will be allocated to fight them but IPOB never killed anyone but were declared terrorists

3. In Favoritism
Since Buhari came to power all efforts has been concentrated in the North. I think it was the World Bank president or so that said Buhari asked him to focus all development effort on the North East. Buhari has also wasted billions looking for oil in the North and recently demanded for 1 Billion dollars to fight Boko Haram-all northern problem. Imagine what half that amount would do to empower entrepreneurs in the South

4. In Commerce
Under Buhari many imported goods are banned under the pretext to promote locally made goods. Importation in Nigeria is done mainly by the Igbos. Also due to the dollar issues many Nigerians studying abroad could no longer afford the fees neither did the federal government come to their aid.

5. In almost every opportunity
It seems to most Igbos that Buhari uses every means to punish them. Last December 2016 there was fuel scarcity, this December 2017 another major scarcity. This is a period most Igbos travel to the east for Christmas. All these moves are always hidden under one reason or the other


Do you think there are other areas not covered? Share your views

Almajiri spotted. I blame Jonathan for giving you school if not you would not be on Nairaland ranting

temodent:
You need to get your head examined.

So the military just went to invade the South East where were you blocked heads when KANU was threatening the whole nation, assembling bunch of jobless youths as Biafrian Army.

So it is also a crime for railway to pass through Daura, nonsense why don't you also agitate for it to pass through your own village. thrash.

How many people are in detention without trial or reasonable cause, name them.

You are simply a spoilt brat, examine your head very well before sprouting out arrant nonsense.

enough for now

Dear Pastor that i respect so much

knowing there is no other way to reach you i have decided to resort to this means. As one of those who always waited for your view on any national issue before i take a stand, (and that stand is always behind you)I feel you have left all of us without direction by your sudden silence over the happenings in Nigeria. The major reason I have always admired and respected you above other men of God is simply because of the tough stance you take in defense of the truth most times at the expense of your live. Secondly is that you hear from God as most of your prophecy has come to pass. Finally because also you are a lawyer by profession and not just a pastor speaking out of religious sentiments. You prophesied against Abacha at the time when everybody was afraid of the junta, and declared the demise of OBJ(thank God he was prayed out). You neither feared dictators nor respected your fellow clergy whenever you feel truth has become a victim of any compromise

You formed the #SaveNigeriaGroup which most of us keyed into as the group became the voice of the voiceless in the then PDP led administration. In fact I voted for Buhari the time you were supposed to be his vice should he win simply because i believed in you and believed you would fight corruption and not be intimidated by Buhari or whichever cabal is in power to frustrate Nigeria. I also believe you are a man that hears from God and like Prophet Elijah declared what God is saying irrespective of whose ox is gored

Sir, What the PDP led government did that brought out the activism in you is nowhere compared to what PMB and APC is doing. and in all these what baffles me most is your silence. Please Man of God i respect you too much to believe you have kept quiet with all that is happening, even Rev Kukah has taken a stand and criticized the Government challenging the presidents statement that Nigeria's unity is not negotiable among other things.

Where are you sir when
1. The present Government incarcerated people without trial and clearly defied court orders to release them
2. 25 billion projects awarded without due process
3. Fulani herdsmen killing inocent citizens and the government has done nothing
4. The construction of rail line from Daura to Kano
5. The military invasion of a peaceful South East
6. The presidents long absence for health reasons
7. The Laws formulated to reduce the influence of the church

the you I know would have been at the fore front of the struggle if just one of the above happens. Please what has happened to your voice. It is now we seriously need the SaveNigeriaGroup because Nigeria seriously needs salvation. I am writing this with the believe that somehow it will get to you and I will hear from you after all these years of silence. The only thing I heard from you was a lecture on restructuring which did not sound like you wrote it because unlike you, you never really did take a stand. Like Dr Luther King once said..."at the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends"

Thank you sir for reading

Its me

Python dance cant kill our fighting spirit

Who still listens to Bakare. To even imagine i voted Buhari because of bakare some years ago. An action im yet to forgive myselfafter the bakare I know suddenly went dumb in the face of the non performance of Buhari who he supported. Where is Save Nigeria Group now that Nigeria seriously need to be saved
