Don't be stupid enough to say nonsense. Do you think the community don't know those attacking them before tagging them herdsmen?

saintmark88:
Any criminal with a gun now is tagged a herdsman.... This country Ehn.......

Please the NASS should just approve that FG $30Bn loan then give it to Lagos state alone to spend. Ambode will finish Lagos state just as he is doing well

This Govt has achieved nothing so far

Bad politicians everywhere

See where your life suffers the most. You already see yourself as an animal. This is too bad

castrol180:
You are mentally reta rded for you not to have known you and the aquatic animal (whale) indeed share the same level of intelligence, even I doubt if the whale is not so much intelligent and smarter than you do...if need be you could branch the next available psycho shop to check your I.Q. you psychopath.

Yeah common sense is rare and that's why am concerned as to how you can have one before its too late

AntiWailer:
Job of reasoning is not difficult if u have the right brain upstairs.

I am not a politician , I type common sense.

Use your common sense as that is not possible. The more reason why you should channel your energy into something profitable this year and not supporting a man whp probably could be in he'll or heaven

#WhereIsOurPresident?

Why are you people still pushing your families into the Cucumber lifestyle... Nigerians love fame too much

Jokers tii takova

So you wish him to go for a week without food before Passing out??.. See all these Zombie no dey smell mercy at all. Why don't the wailers just wish the zombies to pkai instead of Pmb

omenkaLives:
Another day, another lie! Jeez. When would these idiots stop?

Who says hunger makes one pass out in the middle of the road. When was the last time he had a meal? Do you know one can go on for over a week without food yet wouldnt as much as pass out?

He should tell the truth about why he decided to turn the main road to his bedroom and do away with idiotic lies already.

Just look at that healthy looking young man. He should even be ashamed of himself. The other day, we saw a 10 year old running a salloon and making at least 5k daily, and here we have a full grown man complaining he passed out because of hunger.

Lazy fool.

Edit:

Exactly what the nonentities intended to achieve from gullible minds: create a scenario and blame government for it.

Well, we have ample supply of gullibles on facebook and nairaland so his end game would surely realised.

A yoruba man will hail and dance for Tinubu but criticize the Deltans for hailing their Ibori.. Nigeria and Hypocrisy

Zombie no get redemption ooo. Which way?

It is your generation that will the armed forces will do the needful to and not the protesters. Don't worry a time of mourning will catch up with those who wants the masses to suffer.

0b10010011:
Scanty protest!


Akpabio and Fayose's plan failed woefully.



I just hope the Nigerian Armed Forces and Nigerian Police Force do the needful in due time.

Your job must be very difficult right now. I don't envy you at all @ any price

AntiWailer:
he is sick.

he went on vacation.

He trecked to the plane and was not stretched out.

He was not flown out at night.

He wrote to and handed over power to the VP. I don't know what the problem is.


When you are sick at work, do they fire you immediately ?

Youths without brain.

Oh so you are also guessing the daura lord will die. So why the zombifying for a dead man??

AntiWailer:
Mchewwwww.

At that age. It is the easiest guess.

And for conspiracy theorists, if Buhari dies, Osinbajo will be the Next President of The Federal Republic.

It is as simple as ABC.


Stop heating up the polity unnecessarily.

Old men... they will still do underaged girls

Fayose is a dreamer any day anytime

I see plenty Yoruba Muslim praying for Bubu to come back and herd their lives on as usual.

Nigeria the joker of Africa

Friday morning’s attack in Paris in which a machete-wielding man was shot and wounded in the stomach by a French soldier after he injured another soldier near the Louvre museum is the first terrorist incident in France since July. Then two teenagers murdered an elderly priest in his Normandy church, an attack that shocked and repulsed in equal measure.

While the full details of Friday’s incident are still to emerge, it hasn’t the hallmarks of a determined and well-organised attack. There were no explosives in the two backpacks recovered at the scene and launching oneself at two armed soldiers holding just a machete is frightening but foolhardy. Nonetheless, interior minister Bruno Le Roux rightly lauded the ‘sangfroid and professionalism’ of the soldiers involved.

But to kill wasn’t the primary purpose of the attacker, who reportedly screamed ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he charged at the soldiers. It’s to scare the public and remind the politicians that Islamic extremism hasn’t disappeared. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that the attack happened the day before Marine Le Pen officially launches her presidential campaign with a congress in Lyon. ‘Support to our soldiers who are in the frontline against the Islamic threat & barbarity’ tweeted the National Front leader, shortly after news broke of the incident. One noticeable aspect of the recent Socialist primary, which was won by Benoît Hamon, was a distinct reluctance to discuss what his president, Francois Hollande, has described as the ‘problem of Islam’ in France. Hamon also tweeted, expressing his gratitude to the soldiers for safeguarding the country ‘against terrorism’.

While the attack will dominate the headlines over the weekend, in the longer term it will damage still further the ailing French tourism industry. The Guardian may have spent Thursday fretting about the drop in visitors to British museums, bizarrely fingering Brexit as one of the causes, but in France tourist numbers are in freefall and for one reason only.

In December, Le Figaro reported on what it described as ‘a black year’ for the tourism industry in Paris with overseas hotel guests down by ten per cent, a figure all the more troubling given that the country hosted the 2016 European football championships, normally guaranteed to swell numbers. Museums and galleries were also affected with with foreign visitors to the Louvre down 20 per cent to 5.3 million, costing the gallery nearly 10 million euros (£8.6m). Louvre director Jean-Luc Martinez admitted 2016 had been ‘a difficult year’ and 2017 looks like it could be even worse.

Those condemning this news should deny the fact of the anthor that no international media seems interested or willing to risk going there due to Government support and the hostility of the areas?

Adminisher:
OP, This is not UK media. If you want to tell lies don't let your colonial mentality run haywire. You don't have to garnish lies with foreign sources . A lie is a lie

Spectators is a UK media and Douglas Murray is an anchor man there so you can use Google instead of tryna discredit an important post you can learn from or pick an info or two.

Who will protect Nigeria’s northern Christians?
Every week, there are more massacres, but nobody seems to mind — not even their own government

"Douglas Murray"

4 February 2017 9:00 AM

Another day in northern Nigeria, another Christian village reeling from an attack by the Muslim Fulani herdsmen who used to be their neighbours — and who are now cleansing them from the area. The locals daren’t collect the freshest bodies. Some who tried earlier have already been killed, spotted by the waiting militia and hacked down or shot. The Fulani are watching everything closely from the surrounding mountains. Every week, their progress across the northern states of Plateau and Kaduna continues. Every week, more massacres — another village burned, its church razed, its inhabitants slaughtered, raped or chased away. A young woman, whose husband and two children have just been killed in front of her, tells me blankly, ‘Our parents told us about these people. But we lived in relative peace and we forgot what they said.’

For the outside world, what is happening to the Christians of northern Nigeria is both beyond our imagination and beneath our interest. These tribal-led villages, each with their own ‘paramount ruler’, were converted by missionaries in the 19th and 20th centuries. But now these Christians — from the bishop down — sense that they have become unsympathetic figures, perhaps even an embarrassment, to the West. The international community pretends that this situation is a tit-for-tat problem, rather than a one-sided slaughter. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, the press fails to report or actively obscures the situation. Christians in the south of the country feel little solidarity with their co-religionists suffering from this Islamic revivalism and territorial conquest in the north. And worst of all, the plight of these people is of no interest to their own government. In fact, this ethnic and religious cleansing appears to be taking place with that government’s complicity or connivance.

Every village has a similar story. A few days before any attack, a military helicopter is spotted dropping arms and other supplies into the areas inhabited by the Fulani tribes. Then the attack comes. For reasons of Islamic doctrine, the militia often deliver a letter of warning. Then they come, at any time of night or day, not down the dirt tracks, but silently through the foliage. The Christian villagers, who are forbidden to carry arms (everyone is, in theory), have no way to defend themselves. With some exceptions, they also tend to believe what they were taught about turning the other cheek.

The village of Goska was attacked on Christmas Eve. In a temporary shelter nearby, a young man describes how he ran towards his home when he heard the attack start. There he found his mother lying dead on the floor. Uniformed Fulani militia were everywhere. He fled across the fields: ‘I ran and ran until I realised my feet could not carry me any longer.’ The first bullet that hit him passed through the sole of one foot; the second through the back of the other leg with that clean felt-tip mark Kalashnikov bullets make on entry. The exit wounds are less neat —the second exploded out through his right kneecap. On the ground, he realised why he could no longer run, but also that he was still alive. ‘My day was not over,’ he says, brushing his hand across his better leg.

Across the surviving Christian villages of the north, thousands have been killed and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. In those villages and the IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps to which many have fled, you can see the same wounds from the same bullets. In the remote village of Sho, where the attacks have been going on since 2001, a girl of 12 — in her Sunday best — embarrassedly shows me the scars of the bullet which entered and exited her elbow recently while she played behind her house.

An eight-year-old girl balances on one foot to point out the bullet wound on the other, a hallmark of the snipers sitting in the hills around us. Villages have been persuaded to keep records of the attacks to show anyone who cares. One of the very few from outside who does — Britain’s own Baroness Cox — came here recently. Her vehicle was spotted by the Fulani, who came out hunting for her and only just missed their target. Because of attacks like this, almost nobody comes. Just one more reason why these atrocities do not attract the West’s attentions.

The task of chronicling the outrages continues nonetheless. Village leaders keep ring-binders of their dead. Some have photo-graph albums of what their villages have been through: old women set alight; young women raped and shot; babies hacked to death.

The Nigerian government, led by a Fulani president — Muhammadu Buhari — clearly does not wish to protect these people. Even more than under Buhari’s incompetent Christian predecessor, the army fails to perform its most basic duties. As you get into the more dangerous and remote areas, sullen young soldiers at army road blocks hustle you for cash at gunpoint.

A villager takes me to the bridge where the village leader and 13 others were recently gunned down in a Fulani ambush. Nigerian army troops watched the whole thing from their base a couple of hundred yards away — just as they did the destruction of another Christian village, the remains of which sit, burned out and silent, right opposite them. The army seems to have no interest in protecting the Christians, while the government in Abuja appears to care more about passing new laws on cattle-rustling than on protecting human lives. When challenged after a massacre, soldiers often claim that they didn’t receive any orders — or had been commanded not to intervene.

In a line that’s parroted by some NGOs, the government says that this is a land or agricultural dispute. Yet it is the Christian communities who are being systematically forced off it. If anybody wanted to find the culprits, they could find them living and farming on the land they have stolen. But such arrests never happen. The complicity between the army and the Fulani is obvious. Between Barakin-Ladi and Riyom — in sight of another army post — is a sacked Christian village which locals say now acts as a Fulani arms dump. The world’s indifference gives the Nigerian government the advantage in what looks like a quiet effort to rid northern Nigeria of its Christians.

The moment three years ago when Boko Haram abducted 300 Christian schoolgirls from the north-east and ‘Bring Back Our Girls’ briefly trended on Twitter was the closest this situation has come to catching the world’s attention. But the moment passed. Those girls are still missing and the story of Boko Haram has receded from the headlines. But similar atrocities go on all the time. At an IDP camp Deborah, 31, describes the 18 months she spent held captive by the group. When they burst into her village, the Islamists killed her husband and the rest of her family, forcibly converted her and ‘married’ her off to one of their 20-year-old fighters. He complained about her bad temper and argumentativeness, but he still raped her, producing the nine-month-old boy now suckling at her breast. A Christian pastor has urged her to love and cherish the boy as though he was her murdered husband.

The first time she escaped from Boko Haram, she was recaptured and lashed 80 times as punishment. At least she is now unafraid of death. ‘What sort of death would I be running from?’ she asks. ‘I have already died once.’ At night, she says, a military plane would sometimes appear over Boko Haram’s camp and drop off supplies. ‘Look what powerful friends we have,’ her husband would boast as he pointed to the lights in the sky above. Even if the Nigerian army does not support Boko Haram, elements of it certainly do. Whenever an actual operation against the group is planned, they are always tipped off by forces within the country’s security apparatus.

Nigerians have their own view as to what is really going on: a suspicion fuelled again as I leave one IDP camp at sunset and news comes in that another camp to the east has just been bombed by the Nigerian military, killing and maiming scores of people.

The army later apologises for this ‘error’.But the bigger picture is not about error. If the international community meant anything by its promises such as the UN’s ‘responsibility to protect’ doctrine, then what is happening could not go on. But the international community is uninterested. Governments like ours are uninterested. The world’s media is uninterested.

At morning service in the city of Jos, the congregation sing and pray using the 19th-century hymnals and prayer books by which their faith was delivered. When we reach the plea to ‘Deliver us from the hands of our enemies’, the closely packed room hums with the literalness of the words. The Christians of Nigeria are alone. Even if we do not care about this, we ought to know.
