This is what Nigerians warned against.
By turning a blind eye on the brazen murders carried out by the Fulani herdsmen, the president was only calling on the victims on the receiving end to retaliate when they became eventually sure the govt would insist on not doing its job.
And that becomes a recipe for the breakdown of law and order.


The original causes of the conflict become forgotten as lawlessnes takes stage.
All because for reasons yet explained to us, the govt played spectator while people were being killed by herdsmen and refused the path of justice.

Maybe even Atiku, if he doesn't take time.

I lived in Kwara for a while and we know how dangerous he is. He thinks only about himself but you just have to admire his political IQ.

In that list, he's the strongest candidate against Buhari. Though Buhari's support in the North is unshakeable.

"Those Who Should Be in Buhari’s Executive Order 6 But Are Not

Nigerians woke up on Friday July 6, 2018, to find out that President Muhammadu Buhari had usurped the powers of the judiciary by issuing out Executive Order 6 of 2018 which stripped a number of former public officials of their assets.

The list reads like a who is who of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftains and betrays President Buhari’s obvious bias and incapacity for objectivity.

I have no sympathy for anyone who loots the public treasury, but let it be proved that that is the case. President Buhari cannot be a judge in his own case.

But the most compelling argument against President Buhari’s Executive Order 6 of 2018 is not who is on the list, but who is not on the list.

Significant amongst those not on the list are the following:

Timipre Sylva:

On June 1, 2015, two days after President Buhari was sworn in, the new APC government WITHDREW the charges preferred against Timipre Sylva, a known All Progressive Congress financier, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and on October 3, 2018, the EFCC returned to Sylva, 48 houses seized from him during the administration of former president, Goodluck Jonathan in 2013.

How can the Buhari administration justify returning 48 houses to Sylva? And why is Sylva not on the list of those whose property are affected by Executive Order 6 of 2018?

What legitimate business has Mr. Timipre Sylva engaged in to justify his acquisition of 48 houses?

Lieutenant General Turkur Buratai:

After the scandal burst that President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Army staff had bought multiple properties in Dubai allegedly worth $1.5 million, the Nigerian Army released a statement claiming that Mr. Buratai and his wife bought the properties from proceeds of their “personal savings”.

However, the same Buhari administration is trying Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia in court for corruption and rejected her argument that the sum of $793,800, which she was alleged to have, was from her legitimate earnings.

Federal High Court judges earn more than Major Generals in the army (A’s Buratai was when he made the suspicious purchases). If the Buhari administration rejected Justice Ajumogobia’s argument that she could have $793,800 from her legitimate earnings, how come they are willing to accept Turkur Buratai’s argument that he bought the alleged $1.5 million Dubai properties from his ‘personal savings’.

The argument falls flat on its face and thus, Lieutenant General Turkur Buratai should be treated like Justice Rita Ofili and included in the list of those affected by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Executive Order 6 of 2018.

Abdulrasheed Maina:

Maina is the biggest alleged thief in Nigeria’s civil service history. He was dismissed by former President Jonathan after allegedly making off with over $130 million. He was also declared wanted by the International Police (Interpol) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Yet, Maina, was recalled, reinstated and double promoted by the Buhari administration. When the Nigerian Senate sought to probe the circumstances of his recall and reinstatement, President Buhari’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice went to court to secure a kangaroo injunction to stop them.

The current head of service of the federation, Mrs Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita, revealed that she personally and verbally warned President Buhari of the Maina affair BEFORE he was recalled and the President REFUSED to stop the immoral action.

According to Junaid Mohammed, the Buhari government gave Maina armed guards to protect him and was preparing him to contest to he Governor of Borno before his cover was blown.

Abdulrasheed Maina is known to have many properties. How come he is not affected by President Buhari’s Executive Order 6?

Babachir Lawal:

A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Mr. Lawal allegedly gave a ₦200 million contract to his own company from monies meant to look after Internally Displaced Persons. Although he was reluctantly sacked by President Buhari after protest by the opposition and civil society, Babachir Lawal has still not been charged.

Instead, he was allowed to be replaced by his own cousin. He is also heading up a Political Action Committee mobilising for President Buhari’s re-election.

Mr. Lawal recently boasted to Channels TV that he still regularly meets with President Muhammadu Buhari.

He is known to have bought properties after he became Secretary to the Government of the Federation. How come his name is not on President Buhari’s Executive Order 6?

There are many more names I could list, but these names expose the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari’s so called EXECUTIVE ORDER No. 6 of 2018 is itself a hypocritical act of corruption that points four fingers at the President when he intends to point one finger at his political opposition.

It is no longer news that abia state government has rejected any plan of federal government to use its land as a grazing reserve. I really don't blame them due to the herds men reputation of late which has been soiled further by the recent Killing in benue state.

Abia state is a state that has little or no federal government presence. So you can imagine my shock when even without been named the government is in a hurry to reject this offer without even hearing what federal government plan

If federal government is serious about ending the menace caused by cattle rearers then I would suggest the following which will make States like abia state regrets it's decision

1) federal government should encourage sells of packaged meat products

2) grazing reserve land should be allocated or bought from 6 States in 6 geopolitical zone by both government and private enterprise

3) grazing land should be adequately fenced and local indigene should be used as security

4) open land grazing law should be enacted with serous fine. Nobody should be seen with cattle on roads or Street

5) adequate transportation should be provided to move this life stock from one grazing reserve to another..

Most of you won't agree but if this my little common sense can be implemented I believe this could be the end of fulani attack.

There is problem in that north ooo.

But southerners must be determined to resist their radicalism. Th only thing they possess is violence and Islamic terrorism. We must match them gun for gun and terror for terror.

The state of Israel has given us a template of how to deal with Islamic aggression. We need to increase investment in mathematics and the sciences.

This uneducated idiots must be done away with at some point in the life of this nation.

God knows that if I possessed the resources, vanquishing this northerners will be my life’s mission.

May Lord Lugard rot in hell for joining the north and the south to form a failed state like Nigeria.

It is sad that you chose which cases you will react to and chose not to react when Fulanis were involved only to wake up from your slumber only when Christians are affected. That is the religious and ethnic bias you should shy away from. For years Fulani have not gotten justice from Nigeria when they are being killed and their cows rustled. Many a times Fulani traces the rustlers to communities who shield those thieves the results is reprisal attacks. Also for a long time farmers have had their crops destroyed by cattle and they don't get justice and then resort to self help against the herders. I insist until there is justice for all parties involved no amount of intimidation from religious bigots and propaganda from tribal bigots will stop the killings

Rolings:
But when similar situation you painted happened in adamawa and the killers of Fulani were sentenced to death didn't y'all say it's islamization because Christians were sent to death? Didn't CAN and other Christians say it's part of islamization agenda?
The genesis of all these killings is INJUSTICE.
A farmer whose crops was destroyed doesn't get justice so also is a herdsman whose cattle is slaughtered or rustled gets no justice so everyone has resorted to self help.
Let justice prevail without bias and all the killings will stop

Williamso:
I normally try not to get involved in internet name calling. But did you actually read this before posting? The fact that you can even remotely justify the killing of humans due to the death of cattle makes you no better than the criminals carrying out these crimes.

I don't care what tribe you are: There is no justification whatsoever for taking an innocent life like this

coolscott:
My dear, I only added that part because I was not furnished with much info on the alleged killing or stealing of the cows. But...

... If when you steal 2 of my goats I just walk over to your house and kill 2 or 3 of your children, I must be joking if I think I can absolve myself of murder by announcing to everyone "He killed my goats first!"..

GMBuhari:
Hello coolscott , Good morning , you wrote very nice things but as expected of LiePob, you added a twist

Following that Logic, then The reprisal killings MAYNOT have happened, it could have been propaganda right ??

It's not may have , It happened, there is video and virtually all news papers in Nigeria wrote about it , so it happened,

When it happened i knew there would be reprisal attack , Fulani values their cow lot more than anything else ... Jos youths killed 38 cows on june 6th, Fulani were responsible enough to call Police to help them rescue 15 COWS that means Jos youths attempted to kill 53 cows

Now i am not saying the reprisal on Jos is deserved and no cow should be worth human lives, but in reality we all know this was going to happen, i had expected leaders in Barkin Ladi community to go to Miyetti Allah , call for dialogue and resolve it , but silence as they say is consent , at least from Fulani/ Miyetti Point of view .



I haven't read of Miyetti Allah taking responsibility but if they did , I do not think Police, DSS will want to arrest anyone because Miyetti Allah group have some very powerful members and patrons including Jonathan, i do not see anybody getting arrested , this issue will have to be settled amicably , You may quote me to insult me but this is not presidential pardon, Unless the individuals who carried out the attack can be found , Government won't clamp down on Miyetti Allah, there would be consequences, especially since some people's interest is to bring Buhari's government down by all means


Finally , you all need to change your mentality , if you believe Buhari is sponsoring / allowing herdsmen free hand they have , how do you explain the sponsorship of the incidents since 1999 it got worse under Jonathan


Buhari has nothing to do with herdsmen, He is not a member of Miyeti Allah the only fault Buhari has is that he is a Fulani man , which does not justify your claim

EVIDENCE OF HERDSMEN ATTACKS , JUST READ AND THEN TELL ME WHO SPONSORED THEM

ItsMeAboki:
Very silly deliberate misinterpretation of a statement accredited to Myetti Allah; what is even more annoying and irresponsible was the fact that many of the Newspapers were carrying the same untrue narrative in their headlines that the MACABN had taken responsibility for the killings - since when did giving an explanation for the cause of an incident amount to taking responsibility for it?

bold statement from miyetti Allah and yet no arrest or question made on them. so sad that Nigeria is gradually sliding into a failed state.

RMK19:
Even Buhari was loyal to the political masters while lobbying them. With all the disappointments now, you shouldn't expect the people to remain on his side.
