Rev. Fr. Polycarp Lubo, the CAN chairman in the state, urged security agencies to fish out the perpetrators.

Mr Lubo also condemned ongoing killings in Bassa, Riyom, Jos South and Barkin Ladi local government areas.

“We wish to express deep pain over the recent attacks in Riyom, Jos North, Barakin Ladi and Bassa, leading to loss of lives and property.

“The leadership of CAN totally condemns these attacks and pleads with security agents to ensure normalcy is restored.

Chinyere

A thoroughly confused man. He needs help.

MufasaLion:
Is it compulsory they should be buried like that?

No

MufasaLion:
Why mass grave

It was a mass murder.

Kollyman:
When I saw the headings, I knew it would be from daily trust. That Fulani sponsored media outlet.

Who takes their reporting serious ?

But knowing the Fulanis, you will soon take other reports seriously, when the Fulani come for the Irigwe.

Linus199:
Nobody have monopoly of violence

You are right. The fulanis will definitely mobilize and attack the Irigwe tribe and there will be deaths, no prize for predicting this.

naija4life247:
Go to Jos and tell the perpetuators, then I will know you have a point. Mind you, there is no innocent Fulani man nor woman, they are all blood suckers and killers.

You habour a very dangerous opinion. If the Fulani have the same opinion about your tribe, common sense is gone, taken over by animal instincts.

bigpriik:
Fulani sympathizer Pelee ooo

You think you are making sense?

SE tiny circle of land ⭕️ is so devastated by Erosion.
Not suitable for farming or for driving on and cannot hold buildings or other infrastructure.

aidameoryou:
Full blown lie oga, christians arent barbaric

Can we bet? The sender of the bullets to the Pope will not be a Muslim. 1000 USD.

Congratulations CP. Remember to speak to them in the language they understand.

phorget:
Do the crime and do your time. If only buhari could also help arrest and prosecute all the killer herdsmen and Boko Haram then Nigeria would have become a better place for all.

Buhari is bombing the killer Herdsmen but your genetic criminality around the world should not be related to that.

What has India got to do with Buhari or Herdsmen?

They should speak to this Obiora in the language he understands.

mcbreeze:
BBC is evil, nothing but evil.
Would they allow Boris Johnson to threaten them like that. Scotland got referendum but nobody threatening them or killed them.

The Scots were not destroying police stations and killing policemen and soldiers and violently freeing prisoners from Jails.
They did not describe the rest of Britain as Zoo and the people as wild animals. Don’t compare yourselves with civilized people.

Fahdiga:
Arresting any head slammer seeing around the vicinity won't be a bad idea

You will be surprised. It will be a non Catholic Christian.

Muslims respect the Pope.

KosiGee:
Any president that refers to Igbos as 5% or dot in a circle deserve no love from Igbos. I have not been insulting Buhari but I’ll start today to insult him till he leaves office.

To hell as well with Igbo presidency. It favours only greedy and efulefu politicians like Rochas and Kalus who wheedle their way on to northern politicians and Abuja for their selfish aims.

The average Igbo man care less about the emergence of an Igbo man as a president. Igbos care about equitable distribution of resources and selflessness which all these politicians lack.

The Igbo will never be satisfied even if the keys to CBN and all the oil wells are handed over to them. The solution is the actualization of Biafra, please work towards that. We have now seen the truth and we fully support your desire for separation.

PROUDIGBO:
That’s all a load of bullshit! All designed to make him appear badder than he actually is! Can you list the names of his victims or their number to justify this ‘terrifying’ tag you’re trying to hang on him....all in a bid to try and divert attention away from the world-renowned and notorious antics of the dreaded Fulani herdsmen, bandits and terrorists!?

You are supporting a criminal because of tribal sentiments?

Adakintroy:
Mode na Mumu. They put up threads like this to trigger tribal bantas. He be like play..na so we talk.
But play play play biafra matas de tear country in two.

These crimes are facts and we need to know. Please allow IPOBs to have their own criminal country.

It must be them.

Q

Anago55:
My people (Igbos) has been schemed out again. It's happening all over again,by 2023,APC and PDP will come to the southeast and be shouting vote for us we will complete the second Niger bridge,we will restructure Nigeria,we will release Nnamdi kanu and we will give you Biafra on platter
Nigeria obviously is about to make a big mistake,the silence of the Eastern leaders as regards to the presidency should be a thing of worry to every discerning minds except of course the zombies wired to hate the truth. Igbos deserve a shot at the presidency in 2023 and anything aside this will completely distintegrate igbos from the rest of the country because an average Igbo man will be left with nothing to still call himself or herself a Nigerian
Nigeria should do the right thing in 2023. Stop the hate

With the insults and hatred spilled by Igbos even on Nairaland alone, no Northerner will hope for or vote for an Igboman as President Of Nigeria. Not in the next 50 years. The best way forward for Igbos is to peacefully seek for separation.
We are going to support the actualization of Biafra. We are tired.

“The applicant is the notorious and most dreaded armed robber and kidnapper known as Evans, who defiled police arrest for over 10 years and who had terrorised many states of Nigeria with his various gang members,” the policeman told the court.”

Arrested by Super Cop Abba Kyari

Dizznii:
What do they have against this uche secondus

You have problem reading the post?

Nnamdi Kanu’s tribesmen and Igboho’s tribesmen will never accept the fact that these two people committed offenses against the people and against the country.

They must be from those parts.

Twitter is archived , it will be recorded in history that there was twitter in Nigeria.
Please keep them away, we are enjoying the peace.

mountmoriah:
Nigeria is a lawless country where anything can just happen at anytime, the county is capital headquarter of evil. North Korea dey learn.

And we shall see how different it will be when a southerner takes over. So far the southerners claiming education and so called civilization have not done better than the northerners as leaders. Where is the southern model of a Local Government or state even one model for the chest beating southerners to show their sophistication in altruism and governance ?
Lagos is doing better mainly because of its historical and geographical advantages.

And what number is Reno Omokri in that rating?
He can’t be such a loyal worshipper of Good Luck Jonathan just for a few Millions.

SporaD8:
But for the fact that they're both christian, his perfect square would have been NOI - match made in heaven!

You mean the overrated IMF puppet who messed up her position as the coordinating Minister of Nigeria’s economy?

She had the chance of life time, Goodluck Jonathan was ready to give her the lead effectively as his Prime Minister.

But money has its corrupting influence and she succumbed, plus the fact that her capacity has been excessively over rated - to say the least.

ifiokjohn:
The first two look like northerners but the last picture.. sorry the boy doesn't look like a northerner. Look like a pure Southerner.

My friend, it is a fact that Igbos are stealing Northern Children , forget about looks and face the fact. Looks can be deceiving especially if you are being brought up like a southerner. Even the younger ones will soon start looking like southerners as they grow up in that environment.
