Please explain @the bolded, how is it Jewish land ?,

Nigeria is not the only country who voted in favour of Palestine, the people are being oppressed by your so called Jews, Wrong is wrong no matter who is involve.

Be rational when replying. happy Sunday.

You are actually bereft of historical knowledge. Lebanon, Palestine and other arab nations only came to occupy Jerusalem and Jewish land after Jerusalem was destroyed and conquered by General Titus in 70AD. The Jews know the boundaries of their land which they started recovering in 1967 Arab Israeli war. Better accept the fact and leave with it. If the Arabs do anyhow they will see anyhow. Maybe this will afford the Israelis the opportunity to retrieve the remaining part of their land from the terrorists.

GoroTango:
Yes it is a plot to stop you Christians from travelling to your villages. It is merely a continuation of the same plot orchestrated by the Jonathan regime to cause an artificial scarcity during xmas. If you cannot afford to buy fuel, stay at home and complain

Boko rep we notice you. It is on record that there was never fuel scarcity under GEJ except on two occasions which I will graciously tell you savage. 1. During the protest against subsidy removal and 2. shortly before handover in 2015 that fuel marketers were instigated to go on strike. If there was any other time please let us know here.

whateverkay:
Jonathan is a useless man. Buhari is by far a better president than him. God bless buhari

A sincere prayer for you that requires a sincere answer, "may God or allah or whatever you worship rule your life as buhari is ruling Nigeria in Jesus' Name, waiting for your Amen.

Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has called on Federal Government, National Assembly (NASS) and international community to intervene in the Anti-Open Grazing Law operating in Benue.

The Chairman of the association, Danladi Ciroma, made the call on Sunday at a news conference in Lafia.


He said the law was implemented without due consultation with herdsmen in the state.


He added that “our people were not educated on modern method of rearing cattle so that when provision for ranching was being made, government would take into consideration the total number of cattle in the state.

“Due to lack of consultation, our people lack the technical know-how to conduct cattle ranching because even if we accept to practice it, we lack the needed expertise.


“We do not know the grass we need to grow and how it is grown, where to get it and how to preserve it for the cattle.”

He explained that countries like Kenya that successfully implemented ranching system spent more than five years educating herdsmen and provided the much-needed facilities before it was implemented.


Ciroma said apart from those who were the direct beneficiaries of ranches, animal health experts needed to be trained, while clinics and abattoirs, among other things, were supposed to be provided.

He added that the state did not take any step before enacting the law .

The zonal chairman, therefore, appealed to Federal Government, NASS and the international community to urgently prevail on the state government to reconsider the law for peace and unity in the area.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the association in Nasarawa State, Malam Mohammed Hussaini, said
the implementation of the law in Benue led to influx of herdsmen and their cattle to Nasarawa, noting that the situation should be checked to avert conflicts between herdsmen and farmers.

Hussaini explained that the influx of cattle to Nasarawa had led to destruction of many
farm produce and appealed to relevant authorities to intervene to check any crisis in border towns.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Nasarawa, Idrisu Kennedy, however, gave
the assurance that measures were being taken to avert any incident.

The PPRO explained that the efforts of the police and other security agencies, as well as that of the state government and traditional rulers were geared toward averting breakdown of law and order in the state.

Newsmen report that the chairman of association in Benue and other herdsmen from North Central states attended the news conference.

The Benue Government had enacted an anti-open grazing law and fixed Nov. 1, 2017 as date to commence its implementation.

The state government stated that the law was in line with Section 4(7)(a) of the Constitution, Section 1 of the Land Use Act Chapter 202 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990.

The Section states that all land comprised in the territory of each state in the federation are vested in the governor of that state and such land shall be held in trust and administered for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

To this end, Gov. Samuel Ortom of Benue said it was in the spirit and letters of those enabling laws of the land that the Open Grazing (Prohibition) and Establishment of Ranches Law, 2017 was proposed and was judiciously enacted by Benue State House of Assembly.

foolishness, "owners of the zoo mentality", when you have over 5months to adjust and do the right thing but instead you were busy doing "odi-eshi" and issuing threats up and down. anyway you have called your government of the fulani by the fulani and for the fulani. Sure, they will import grasses for you, don't just worry yourself, go and sleep. NONSENSE

oladeebo:
Self determination is outdated and it just a dead right on the paper, because the Union Nation not ready to loose their members, and not also want the border been readjusted in any form, exercising this right at 21st century is a wastage and liquidation of resources both human and materials!
If Kurdistan with it's autonomy, wealth, and people ambition failed then it can't be possible.
Like wise the Catalonia, and if Brexit is still in negotiation, better not tumbled into this foolish trap!
My call for Igbo Elders, Leaders of the opinion, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief, is to call the Conference on Biafra, re-energize the biafra spirit in igbo to the development of Igbo nation!
Have the:
i. BIAFRA DEVELOPMENT BOARD
ii. SET OUT THE PROTOCOL OF THE DEVELOPMENT NEEDED
iii. LAUCHING OF FUND NEEDED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
iv. INVITED NOT ONLY IGBO BUT ALL WELL MEANING NIGERIAN, POLITICIANS OR NON POLITICIAN TO THE LAUNCHING.
Why this call?
Because if Igbo Land is Better, it will be better for the humanity not igbo alone

I pity you because you are playing with untimely death by putting your dirty, stinking mouth into the issue of Biafra, UMUCHINEKE. Anybody that goes against Biafra has always faced disgrace, eg Awolowo, Benjamin Adekunle, Adaka Boro, Ken Saro Wiwa etc., don't be the next on the line. don't support evil so that evil will not be your ruin, my 2cents.

Let me ask you a question and i need answer.


Do you agree with the post of one IDOTIC FOOLISH ANIMAL on this thread that says nothing at all is working in Nigeria?

1st class zombie. You were asked to mention one thing that is working in zoogeria, instead you started abusing. See your life.

Frankyboy1:
There must be a differentiation between ipob igbos and Niger delta's, I am igbo of delta extraction but see this ipob skirmish as madness or delusion grandeur of the highest order, how can you provoke and pelt a military armored carrier with it's personnel, When the military retracks, they say it is an act of cowardice,and the military is scared, when they attack they say icc,Hague,world bank,UN, as if they care about what's happening in Nigeria!you guys are loosing sympathisers with videos as such as this morning of miscreants trying to force the military to act in.order to give it a bad name!'Just this morning the professor in charge of Ikwerre youth council warned ohaneze to take it's igbo day celebration elsewhere,which is unconstitutional,but ipob which is mistaken as all Igbos is being synonymous with trouble,and brazen display of arrogance in their quest for their secession,I hear a lot of misinformed kids here.shouting BSS will match the Nigerian army and history will not repeat itself,their reason being boko Haram is waging an .war on our military,forgetting boko boys do not fight conventional warfare but hit and run and ready to lay down their lives as suicide bombers! Listen and listen well carefully, direct confrontation the Nigeria army will level IPOB,BSS and it's noise makers in a day with.less than one tenth of it's artillery and personnel, and nothing would happen, from the international community!go ask elzakky and co, Let leaders and elders of thoughts of our region rise up before this deluded self imposed emperor, lead lots of foolish youths to their early graves!a word is enough for the wise,and the fly kanu that refused to hear word will follow the corpse to the grave

If you don't know what to say just keep quiet and listen to others and learn you this small boy. Don't comment on what is above your understanding.

iLoveConductor1:
And zombies will come to reality that their army who can't defeat boko haram for 10 years has never won a single war since the inception of the zoo.

The zoo will be overrun in 1 month, bet me.

Gbam. They will not understand what hit them when the chips are down. 1 month has always been my prediction. If the fulani army survives one month of onslaught then it means they are extremely fortunate.

People like you are the reason they keep spinning any kind of propaganda to arouse your imbecilic minds. They always want to prove to you that they are working yet you sink more poverty and hunger. Sorry for you, accept my sympathy.

Stingman:
Did you see that in your dream? IPOB has always affirmed they won't carry arms. What have you Arab brothers done to the Fulani herdsmen levelling communities with AK 47. Have you ever heard that the army will disarm them nationwide? Why would different laws apply to different people in this Lugard's contraption?

Nobody should panic over that. Nigerian Army will soon realize that they are made up of about four nations armed forces. Besides, we are formidable by the grace of God. They should get ready because are launching their own republic soon. The useless army will just end up disgracing themselves. Buratai will soon commit suicide because the shame will be so much for him. The US district court is still waiting for him, his pending case at ICC too is there. All their future atrocities will also be properly documented for their diligent prosecution

Rikidony:
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has directed military service chiefs to move back to the Command Centre in Maiduguri, Borno State.

This was the outcome of a meeting the acting president held with the service chiefs, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday.


It was also decided that the military should get more surveillance devices and cameras that would be able to see distant attackers.
This came three days after Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima cautioned that the Boko Haram terrorists should not be underrated.


Yesterday’s meeting was attended by the Minister of Defence Mansur Dan-Ali, as well as Chief of Defence Staff Gabriel Olonishakin, Chief of Army Staff Tukur Burata, Chief of Air Staff Sadique Abubakar and Chief of Naval Staff Ibok Ekwe Ibas.
Addressing State House correspondents after the meeting, the defence minister said: “The raining season is a difficult moment for us. We cannot dominate the environment like what we do during the dry season. But effort is geared towards regaining back our areas and we assure that all these ambushes that are happening regularly would be stopped.”


https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/b-haram-osinbajo-orders-service-chiefs-back-to-maiduguri/207504.html

Army of excuses and inefficiency. Like we don't know what is happening. Nigerian armed forces are in raining season while boko haram operate in dry season thereby overpowering the combined military forces. We know your antics, to destabilize Osibanjo's govt just like you did Jonathan because he is a dirty southern infidel that must not be entrusted with power. It is an abomination for an infidel christian to rule over the muslim faithful. This is your last chance at trying your luck and you will fail woefully. Your cup of iniquity is obviously overfilled and you know it not.

Remoter:
As a progressive youth with aspiring visions in Nigeria, I considered the 700M released by Sokoto state Government for procurement of Sultanate council's office and residence as a total misplaced priority and monumental wastage of Scarce economic resources of Sokoto.

Sokoto state where core citizens still lack access to basic education and other basic social amenities has released 700M for a liability that the Sultan will not utilise more than 20 percent of his total available time.

What leaders have we in this country LORD!

If Sultanate council office and residence at Abuja could gulp 700M I think we should support resource control agitation effort and militancy such that our leaders can learn how to prudently utilize scarce economic resources more especially in a recession.

This is the best use of the oil money from Biafra Land. Free money that they don't work for, how will they know how to put it to good use?

lightblazingnow:
For most people who thought Nnamdi Kanu is from God Almighty

So that you could differentiate between the work of God Almighty and the error of the age

And to finally put to bed the agitation of the ignorant men.... And finally hear the voice of God Almighty about who's Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB


These are the voices of the most persecuted men in the history of the world and yet we have wonderful virtues to learn from their great lives and amazing letters written, most part with tears, apostle John one time said

" I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth".

The others​ also have this to say

But you have fully known my doctrine, my manner of life, my purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

Yeah​, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

But continue you my son in the things which you had learned and had been assured of, knowing of whom you had learned them;

And that from a child you had known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.


All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


The LORD CHRIST knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

But chiefly Nnamdi Kanu that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against dignities before the Lord God Almighty.


But these Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, [/b]as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they don't understand; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; [b]And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time.


Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB children:

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the self proclaimed prophet.



These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

While Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB according to the true proverb, "The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire"..


For some of you who have chosen to respect your dignities, read this;


I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God Almighty our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God Almighty, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God Almighty: the powers that be are ordained of God Almighty.

Who so ever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God Almighty: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he's bearing not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God Almighty, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.

Wherefore you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

Thanks all

Long live Nigerians

Long live great souls

@op, just a few questions for you. Please humbly and sincerely answer them. 1, between Nigeria and Biafra existed first. 2, How did Nigeria come to be and when. 3. The person that created Nigeria, was he a spiritual man. 4. Did he amalgamate Nigeria because God instructed him to do so or because of British administrative convenience, so as to use the surplus from the south to offset the deficit of the north, instead of bringing funds from England to administer the northern protectorate. Read Amos 3:3

afonjaheadhunt:
The northerners don't fear Biafra anymore they fear what the struggle represents today, Freedom, Equality, Equity and justice. The northerners fear the call to restructure, they fear the reality of true federalism or regionalism, they fear the storm of losing a born to rule status and sharing power equitably, they fear a merit base employment and educational system, they fear losing The British man's gift to the North and un-fulfilling the wish of Usman dan Fodio in the South.

To think that it was the same cobra whose head was cut in "67" that turned to bite with a deadly venom under it fangs while it bore another more lethal makes it even more unacceptable for the north even as this deadly venom spreads through Nigeria's regional veins. The May 31st sit at home order issued by IPOB in SE/SS that recorded 98% success rate in SE and Igbo speaking parts of SS reechoed a loud and clear message to the northerners that the cry of the baby have gotten to the ear of its mother.

This cry have seen all section of the federation clamoring for Restructuring to save the federations existence even though we cannot placate whose calls are legitimate but the most important thing is that the song is being sang and even the shy ones are moving their head to its rhythm and masking their innermost heart desire under the quest for Biafra so that should they be any fall-out Biafra will be the scape goat and bare the brunt again. The reality is that Biafra is here and wishing it away or issuing threats only fuels the agitation even more.

Biafra an independent nation in the heart of many already might take a little while but the bulging pregnancy of this new nation cannot be hidden the delicate synopsis must be respected and addressed wisely while several prenatal test of restructuring, true federalism and regionalism must be timely to avoid the death of the mother at childbirth. The north must embrace this reality at larva stage before it leaves the incubation period and metamorphose into the mother of all fears "Biafra"

The north must realize that the call to save Nigeria is not their call and they are only but like every other person sited at a round table to discuss terms for a peaceful coexistence.

Was Achebe not saying the same thing?

The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims
Commission (NCPC), John-Kennedy Opara, has been
removed from office.
A statement by the office of the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, said the
disengagement of Mr. Opara from office as head of the
commission became effective, Thursday.
The statement added that President Muhammadu Buhari
thanked Mr. Opara for spearheading the affairs of the
commission in the last eight years, and wished him
success in his future endeavours.
Mr. Opara was appointed in 2008 by the Shehu Musa
Yar’dua-led administration, for an initial tenure of five
years.
He was reappointed in June 2013, after his first tenure
ended, by former President Goodluck Jonathan for a
second and final tenure.
He was removed from office two years before the
expiration of his tenure in June 2018.
According to the law setting up the pilgrims agency, “The
Chairman or any members of the Commission may be
removed from office by the president, if the president is
satisfied that it is not in the interest of the Commission or
the public that the member should continue in office.”

Ohammadike:
The Senate Thursday opened investigation into alleged military invasion of Ogoni land, River State.

Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions charged with the investigation following petitions on the matter took testimonies from some interested parties.

Four Ogoni villages were alleged to have been invaded by the military.

The Civil Liberties Organisation and the traditional ruler of Mene Bua-Yeghe community in Ogoniland, Chief Barinaada Gbaranee, defended their separate petitions against the Nigerian Army before the committee.

Gbaranee, claimed that the unlawful occupation of his territory and three other communities by soldiers, started on February 22, 2016.



The Monarch noted that the armed military personnel who allegedly invaded his community also invaded the house of a former Niger Delta militant, Mr . Solomon Ndigbara.

The armed military men, he claimed, vandalized his cars and buildings without just cause.

He told the lawmakers that prior to the attack, the soldiers had allegedly arrested Ndigara’s wife and his siblings.

He said;”The military occupation of Ogoniland, escalated on 23 February to the extent that the army engaged themselves in the brutal killing of men, women and children numbering about 12.

“The sporadic shootings against the harmless and defenseless peace loving people of Ogoniland, led to the displacement of natives of even neighbouring towns as Zaakpon and Wiiyakara communities, in fact even extending up to Babbe Kingdom.

“Consequent upon this, all economic activities in Ogoniland especially Bori town and other adjoining villages have been grounded to a halt.

“Men, Women and children have deserted their homes and are taking refuge in the bush and forest due to heavy presence of the military personnel, patrolling in armoured cars with sophisticated weapons.”

He noted that Ogoniland had remained peaceful prior to the military invasion.

The Monarch asked the senators to use their legislative powers to stop the killings and tension.
He said, “The continued exposure of vulnerable men, women and children, certainly is beginning to cause hunger, sicknesses and diseases, the resultant effect Is sudden death.”
He noted that members of his community were still scattered in the bush due to fear and apprehension.

The South-South Zonal Chairman of the CLO, Mr.Chinedu Uchegbu, in defence of his petition, claimed that the military invasion affected four communities in two local governments in Ogoniland.

Uchegbu noted the people of Yeghe, Zaakpo, Bori, and Babbe in the Gokhana and Khana council areas were violated by the military invaders.

He listed those allegedly killed by the soldiers to include, Nwibari Mbu; Bariture Ziibo; Lesi Ledee (a pregnant mother); Saturday Gbarazia; Kelechi Nwafor and his brother Linus Nwafor, among others.

The CLO leader also listed those arrested and still being detained to include Messrs Gambo Festus; Dennis Macaulay Nbinna: Ndikwa Tekpe; Nwii Peter and two others from Tai local government area of the state.

He claimed that Messrs Gabriel Ndigbara Piabari; Richard Ndigbara; Mrs. Kate Ndigbara; Bob Nkue; and Smart Deedom, among others are still being held by the soldiers.

He also claimed that Messrs Chikwodo Nwankwo; and Azubuike Iga among others, sustained various degrees of injury and currently on admission in the various hospitals in the local government.

Ukaegbu described as worrisome, a situation whereby a federal government agency which ought to guarantee security for everybody in the society and which ought to maintain law and order, is being associated with plots to cause insecurity”

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, assured that his panel would ensure a thorough investigation into the allegation.

Anyanwu however said that for a thorough investigation to be seen to have been conducted, the committee needed to hear from the military that is being accused of invading the communities.

He said that the committee would invite the military to get their own side of the story before presenting a report to the Senate in plenary.

OWERRI – Imo State Government has described as “most unfortunate and grossly embarrassing”, the attempt by members of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to disrupt Governor Rochas Okorocha’s speech at the world-famous Chatham House, London, where he was invited to deliver a speech. According to a press statement signed by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, the government said it was worrisome that members of IPOB that have always given the impression that they are fighting for the course of Igbo, would decide to storm the Chatham House to cause trouble at an event the Governor honoured to deliver a speech on the way forward for our society. “Indeed, if IPOB apostles would embarrass an Igbo leader of Governor Okorocha’s status in London, then, their claim that they are fighting or agitating in the interest of Ndigbo should be taken with a pinch of salt by those who had hitherto, believed them”, Onwuemeodo reasoned. He further argued that all over the world, groups fighting for one reason or the other presumably for their people, do not loose sight of what certain leaders in the areas represent and accord them the needed respect, no matter what they hold against such leaders. “The IPOB action at Chatham House was not only embarrassing to Governor Okorocha as an Igbo leader, but also to Ndigbo in general both at home and in diaspora and indeed to all men and women of goodwill”, Onwuemeodo said.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/imsg-lashes-ipob-members-in-london/

Mr onwuemeodo or whatever you call yourself, you can see that your insincerity knows no bound. The case of Biafra is either you are for us or you are against us. There is no sitting on the fence. Everybody must clearly show on which side of the divide he is. What happened to your principal is just a tip of the iceberg, it is a sign of bigger things that will happen to him unless he respects himself and stop playing saboteur's role.

The Nigerian Senate has revealed
those behind the brutal killings that
ensued in Agatu communities of
Benue state.
Premium Times reports that the
red chamber on March 9, revealed
that the crimes of mass murder
across Nigerian communities were
carried out by “overpowered” Boko
Haram terrorists, not Fulani
herdsmen as earlier alleged.
This revelation was part of the
Senate’s resolutions that
accompanied a motion moved by
Emmanuel Bwacha (PDP-Taraba
State) on “the need to urgently
flush out Boko Haram insurgents
reassembling in Taraba State.”
“The Senate is aware that that
Nigerian Army has recorded
tremendous success in the war
against insurgents in the States of
Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa.
“There is a change of tactics by
insurgents who now parade as
herdsmen to make it difficult for the
public to identify them,” Bwacha
said.
The lawmaker asserted that several
communities in his Taraba South
constituency had fled because of
consistent attacks by Boko Haram
insurgents “masquerading as
Fulani herdsmen.”
Before this motion, Fulani
herdsmen have been on the spot
light as they are always accused of
mass murder as well as
destruction of farms in parts of the
country. The latest of such
accusation was the mindless
killings that took place in Agatu
communities.
Contributing to the motion,
Barnabas Gemade (APC-Benue
State) said Boko Haram insurgents
were “mixing with herdsmen to
cause trouble.” The lawmaker, who
had visited other states where such
attacks had taken place, lamented
the situation in Benue state.
Gemade revealed that there was a
community in Zamfara state during
his visit that had lost over 250
residents to Boko Haram
insurgents parading themselves as
herdsmen.
The lawmaker who disclosed that
Agatu is under siege, asked the
government to make sure
herdsmen have grazing space for
cattle in order to mitigate the
hazard of destruction of farms.
Abubakar Kyari (APC-Borno State),
in his contribution to the debate,
posited that Fulani herdsmen
should not be described as
“unfriendly.”
“When Fulani herdsmen or Kanuri
are being tagged as unfriendly, it
portends danger for the country
and freedom to live and work
anywhere,” Kyari said.
The red chamber unanimously
decided to condemn the killings,
kidnappings, destruction of
property and farms by “Boko
Haram insurgents” in communities
across Benue, Taraba, Plateau and
other states.
The Senate revelation might be
coming in as a shock against the
backdrop of the earlier disclosure
made by Ado Boderi.
The Nation reports that Boderi,
who spoke on behalf of the Fulani
community on March 3, accused
the farmers of killing 10,000 cattle
belonging to its members. He
made the accusation at a meeting
between Agatu community, Fulani
community and Inspector General
of Police, Solomon Arase.
Boderi acknowledged that it was
criminal minded people from both
sides that intensified the crisis
despite the swift intervention of the
state governor.
No fewer than 300 people were
killed in Agatu community by
suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Residents of the community in
reaction to the killings on March 2,
carried out a peaceful protest to
express their displeasure over the
incident.

This is just one of the reasons Nigeria will NEVER succeed or progress. It is a confirmed fact that the benue mayhem was carried out by herdsmen but here we are, being deceived and lied to by supposed lawmakers and leaders that they are disguised boko haram. REASON: So that we will not see the herdsmen the way they are and for who they are. But already we know that they are the 4th most-deadliest terror group in the world according to the world terror index.
