FloraMbachu:
Resistance online. You continue to bring shame to Alaigbo, what is wrong with you cowards for God sake. Why cant you just shut up instead of bringing ridicule and disgrace to us.

Buhari will never talk until people bounced back on his people

Confusion

Silly confusionists.

Now you accept that The Nation newspaper lied.

Question for you

Who bribed the newspaper to lie.?

Eshinwaju:
See Agatu people fighting back...meanwhile our iPod friends are praying and fasting...

The day you will have sense, Satan will confess.

What of the resistance the Igbos put up at Umuchigo 2days later

selectedhero:
well Lemme return from my self imposed nairaland exile.
ok.
1. we blame the president cos he is the c-in -c.
2. state govs. really do not have power over the police or the military, because this components are strictly federal in nature and as such under the purview of the president alone. thus the govs. position is only solicitory.
3. the solution to the continuous mayhem being unleashed by the herdsmen can only be solved simultaneously through a top-down approach.
4. in my opinion, the federal government has not seen the herdsmen to be much of an issue yet but NB. boko haram started small too.
5. He and the FG are practically living in denial as to the true identity of these killers. question is, if they are not Nigerians why are we tinkering with a grazing bill for non-nigerians.

SEE IN ALL HE IS COMPLICIT

Don't mind the criminals called Northern elites

kcnwaigbo:
Well done Agatu youths.More grease to your elbows.

You believe this lie that has no picture or video evidence

DaBullIT:
I won't be surprised if It's some unscrupulous elements in IPOB and MEND planning this attack


We won't forget Chima Okoro so easily


But if the intel is genuine , i will implore all security agencies to be on high alert

Too much of Fulani cow milk

fiizznation:
Beautiful people beautiful ethnic group.

Proudly fulani

Now we know why you made that useless comment about the non existence of Fulani herdsmen in the SE

Fulanimafia good morning.

Atk1nson:
I tire for our politicians in the south. They can readily source weapons to fight for their political career, but they playing the hapless victim when it comes to protecting the lives of their own people given the seeming unwillingness of the security agencies to tackle the issue.

We need a new generation of politicians down here in the south, these current ones are useless

The governor is a useless man if he has not set up a vigilante group and encouraged community vigilante system.


If this attack succeeds, the governor will pay dearly for his negligence.

To arms all Igbos. This is war.

Drchristian:
Lesson learned. ..chestbeating and calling others cowards leads to bloodbaths.

We developed Lagos

We are d one protecting Yorubas in their land

Yoruba are cowards...cowards is in their dna

It cannot happened in igbolands

is now u people now knw u r peaceful people SMH @y'all

Fulanis are going nowhere cus they are NIGERIANS ..touching them wud lead to more bloodbaths.

The resistance offered by BNYL at Umuchigo is just the beginning of the war that will see Fulani herdsmen no more in the South

You are free to talk like an illiterate

The woman wrapper governor should be impeached if he had not set up a vigilante group to comb the forests of Enugu.

1Tkester:
We don't need state protection, the fulanis are acting with presidential order. The best protection will be community or vigilante formation.

He never said the communities shouldn't set up vigilante groups

Osamabinla:
I weep for this nation.

I remember during the early Jonathan administration days, the northern leaders/elders denied the presence of boko haram and even denied their existence. They claimed it was the Nigerian soldiers who who were on a disguised and disillusioned massacre spree and hence Jonathan was given an ultimatum to call off the tanks and battalions in the north or he gets impeached. Later on boko haram grew in strenght and wrecked havoc in the North.

The same denial process by these northern leaders has just begun. Once beaten twice shy. This will not happen again.

If these so called fulani herdsmen are left unchecked via the deceit of the northern elders to the presidency, they 'll grow in strenght and continue theirs evils. Pple will be forced to take up arms against them and these may lead to heightened civil unrest.

Denying the fact that Fulani herdsmen are behind these attacks will see them become more bolder leading to a situation where ethnic militias will rise and threaten the corporate existence of Nigeria in order to protect their people

This will usher in the second civil war that will see the end of Nigeria.

Igbos will take it very personal to the point that Buhari will weep

meccuno:
If they are not going to retaliate, then they should STFU and stop disturbing us with this information. This their peaceful stance is beginning to irritate me!!

Don't expect them to do so openly.
Wisdom demands that another group solely dedicated to self defence is created.

Rearmament is the answer. Fulani herdsmen are terrorists that must be stopped.

Igbos should set up a Self Defence Force to defeat Fulani herdsmen invasion of our Fatherland.

A1159:
I am really concerned here. It happened 6 months ago. I was jealous. I would make this short and brief.

8 Months ago, my fiance and i, went to a dinner party somewhere on the Island in Lagos. Then there was this girl he met and claimed she was his old friend in school. They really exchanged pleasantries so much that i felt jealous. He completely migrated his attention from me to her. They hugged and all sorts.

Driving back home, i told him i wasnt comfortable with it. He was angry and he said i am too insecure that if i don't want him to talk to females because he is engaged to me i should say it. I felt embarrassed and sad like i wasn't mature. So i let it go. But days later i discovered they have been chatting, seeing each other and other stuff. He told me one day that he was traveling to Abuja to collect his Passport at the Immigration office that he wont be around for a few days. But 2 days later my friend and i were chatting and i told her i'm missing my baby and she was like 'Isnt he around'? And i said he traveled then she told me that he has been in their building for a few days that he leaves at night. And when i went to my friend place he wasn't there but i met this girl he claim is his old friend. She also lives in that building so he was seeing her and lied to me. Iw as hurt so i went online on facebook to rant then an Indian Lady sent me a PM telling me she can fix it.

She gave me her number to call her. Her voice sounded like a 12 year old girl but i just played along. She told me that she can prepare a cake for me that would make my relationship ok. She said the cake cost small money but she will send me the cake first and collect her money. She sent the ingredients of the cake to me via DHL as i received it 2 weeks later after saying Yes to her since i won't pay until i receive it. I felt i have nothing to loose. I followed the directions and baked the cake. She told me to say somethings in india language on the cake and eat the cake. I did. I was ok. My fiance had already returned from Abuja(As he claimed). I pretended all is well. After i had eaten the cake, the next night, my fiance and I had sex. I fell in love with him again but for some reasons(Work, stress, etc) we both abstained from sex since then for 6 months. We never attempted it. So last week when we tried again as our wedding is coming up very soon. He couldn't even do anything! He was impotent. We went to a doctor and he was confirmed impotent. My mother said she did some fasting and her pastor said someone spell him with charm(I remembered the cake thing). Doctor examination showed he was impotent for the past 6 months(When i did the cake stuff) we just didn't notice.

Please it has been 6 months i have lost contact with the India lady on facebook. She did not reply my message. Seems she is no longer on facebook i don't know and i have lost her number too. It is long ago please what can i do? I am scared of going to church with my family and his own as im sure the pastor will know it was me. Any help?

Both of you are not yet married and you went ahead with this useless idea.
You should broken up the relationship and go your way

naijaking1:
If the herdsmen know that a regions uses a little pepper in their grasses, they will avoid the area in the first place.

Do you know what the herdsmen now do.? Steal land by invading villages and occupying them.


The best approach is to buy enough arms for everyone and train them on how to use it to drive away these herdsmen

MPSA:
I don't believe egypt is stronger than south africa in military

You better believe it

Lordave:
I heard that Nigeria is the giant of Africa and some of its deluded citizens considers their military one of the best in the world, why is it not on list?

You dey mind the zombies wey full inside Nigeria.


Egypt go beat Nigeria to pulp.

Now that the entire nation (except the cattle owners) has acknowledged that the menace of herdsmen has become unbearable, perhaps the rural folks who bear the brunt of their destruction should take steps to protect themselves, while the lethargic and almost nonexistent government try to get it's act together.

In the next few weeks, we are bound to hear more news and more gory details of how these primitive people invaded a community and slaughter defenseless people. That is as certain as the sun rising from the east. As the villagers cannot acquire guns and ammo, perhaps a more subtle and ingenious approach could be adopted. Here is an interesting piece I just read online about how the poor folks in certain villages in Imo state tackled the problem:

[b]"...Nekede and Ihiagwa are two neighboring communities in Owerri, hosting the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, and Federal University of Technology, Owerri.

Sometime last year, the activities of these Fulani herdsmen became so unbearable with destruction of farms and rapes. The women gathered and thought of what to do to stop these killer Fulani herdsmen wielding AK 47s. In contrast, the women had no gun, knife or any other weapon but their brains.

They came together and reasoned what to do to drive the herdsmen from their communities without firing a shot. They agreed and tasked every woman in the communities to contribute 1 Derica cup of ground pepper each. They brought the pepper together and organized themselves in groups in the night to spread the pepper across all the farms in Nekede and Ihiagwa. The following morning, the marauders came as usual with their cows. Lo and behold, in less than 30 minutes they lost 15 cows because when cows smell or ingest pepper, they die. Immediately the Fulani herdsmen fled with their remaining cows and sanity returned to Nekede and Ihiagwa..."[/b]

So, maybe this method can be put to the test across every region and farmlands that are vulnerable to their incursions. I know I would do everything within my powers to protect crops in my farmland.
In addition to this, it won't be a bad idea to boycott buying beef for the next few months, until their markets get crippled. This step cannot be easy to implement. It will require a lot of effort to get people across the entire south to do this. But the ground pepper seem easier and more practical.
Expecting the federal government to take an ambitious and resolute approach to ending this terror is simply a waste of time. As it is, they are hoping to grab lands mostly in the south, to serve as grazing reserves. This is bound to add fuel to the problem. No doubt. So, before our government and it's unofficial foot soldiers hound us till we go extinct, I think we should give ourselves a fighting chance first.

After the death of their cows, they do return back to fight.

The best approach is to arm boys to fight back any reprisal after the pepper approach.

adconline:
But the govt is still not completely absolved.. There was a time then gov Ngige had issues with Obj, he security details were all withdrawn. He had to improvise and took charge of security situation in Anambra. Same with Peter Obi. It was pure naivety and delusion on his party to think that GMB would rise to occasion when he never did in Benue, Oyo, Lagos etc.
This is a governor who gets N600 monthly for security and couldnt mobilize his CSO to mobilise local vigilante to forestall attack. Just offering just N2-3million to DPO to mobilise their men would have done a lot to stop these terrorists. These terrorists succeeded because they met no resistance!!

Don't mind the ewu called governor.
With 200million every month, he will be able to sustain a well armed 1000 man strong state vigilante system.
Rather than do this, he prefers to pocket the money and leave the job for the police to do.


Do you know that the thief is yet to set up a vigilante system even after this incidence.

ehissi:
My friend don't be petty!! Security vote is #40million Naira monthly and no more; besides if you read the deposition put forth by the governor, DSS, Nigerian army, Nigeria Police - SARS, were all at that meeting.

Who told you that it was 2 or 3 million Naira that he gave to all these people!?? Tafia papa!!

Whatever dogma you hold about Nigerian politicians doesn't change the fact that he informed the Security operatives before hand and provided them the logistics they required hence he is absolved from all blame.

Constitutionally, he is not required to give a dime to federal agencies of government, as a state governor, if he does so, he does it out of perceived necessity which is understandable given the fact that Buhari is now holding forte for fulani, na only to issue orders to military for twitter, facebook and Nairaland na e buhari sabi!!

Police, DSS, Army - in short, even agbero - must come and tell the people of enugu what they where doing when Buhari's village people went on rampage!!

Is uzo awani the first town to be attacked.?
If the governor had set up a well armed vigilante system, that attack would have been stopped even without federal securities.

bittertruthz:
This is lies and excuse for failure. Governor has power to deploy security Without waiting for buhari.

Lazy and confused governor. Stop lying.
You only care for immunity from prosecution and executive power to steal, executive power to deploy 1000 police to guard you and your family yet you couldn't deploy security, common civil defense or vigilante to protect your people.

Anybody blaming buhari on this issue is a bigot. Blame your governor, police commissioner, LGA chairman and traditional rulers for failure.

Ghanaians don't wait for fed govt to resist herdsmen. They do it locally.

Very true. The useless governor prefers to pocket the security votes than spend it on a vigilante system.

Do you know that the thief is yet set up a vigilante system.

poseidon12:
You are right. I think the governor was naïve. He has a lot of learning to do. I hope other governors are learning too.

The governor is a greedy thief who will rather pocket the security votes than spend it on a vigilante system.

Nasiruddeen:
Though am against the killings of any Nigerian by unknown gunmen (Fulani herdsmen or so) but this sudden increase in attacks by so called Fulani herdsmen should be well investigated so that innocent shepherds won't be tagged murders cause this could be a stage managed blackmail and could be insurgents or militants in Fulani herdsmen's clothing.
There is a need for security watch and in depth investigation into the sudden rise in such attacks. Am not defending criminal here but just expressing an opinion.
Anyone, soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes.
Wake up and stop the blame game. You have two enemies. Mr. President and the killers. You would always imagine Mr. President as your enemy until you are no more a pessimistic condemner. The other one is the killer. Because of the prejudice you had and have against the people of C-in-C who are unfortunately Fulani, you refer every evil to them. The enemy is the killer of you and I but you point your fingers at the Fulani.
However, find your men to fight them when they attack you. Why call for BIAFRA when you can't even fight a cattle rearer, if really he is the killer?

Igbos are slow to fight but very destructive when they do
