OkpaNsukkaisBae: How many have they prosecuted? I mean the criminal and murderous herdsmen. If you are waiting for a man who said " Where are the cows"?? then my brother you're on a long thing
JagabanB: Life is not about defending or attacking APC or not, if you choose to make your life about that, it's good for you. I just gave you a solution to your problems, if you decide to see politics in it, it's your cup of tea. If u are a Benue indigene and you decide to write that Fulani àttacks in Benue started when Buhari assumed office, I understand why u are more focused on politics rather than the wellbeing of your people. Insecurity is a national issue, nobody will single out Benue State for special intervention unless your leaders do that, from the look of things, Benue has been roIIing out sh*tty leaders back to back like SE. U had a sitting senate president when this Fulani àttacks started in Agatu LGA (zone C) which was his geopolitical zone, the only thing he contributed to it was to silence the media about it even when protests were being held in Otukpo, he surpressed the media to the point that many of you have forgotten that Fulani àttacks started long before APC was formed but u think this is about APC, continue to play politics with it, after all, it is what your political class teaches u.
many problems we have in Nigeria today are pure political man, you can't rule that out.
It appears you didn't read my story well because I also blamed the state government, I think Nigeria should be restructured so that the president will not be blamed for so many things
JagabanB: October/November in the year 2013, I attended the burial of the father of a close friend I met from way back who's in the military. The Burial happened in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State, that particular burial, we were escorted by local security outfits to carry out that burial successfully, the downside of that story is that, there were natives who were leading the fulani in their àttàck on their own people. In a nutshell, the Benue people are actually the cause of their own problems. Was it somewhere last year? There was a bloody bank robbery in Benue that claimed so many lives, what did the Benue elites and the senator in charge of that zone do? Share scholarship to family of SOME of the victims and that chapter is closed. The average Benue citizen should be more focused on getting just one good leader in Benue before talking about national politics.
Really, are you serious at all, and they even voted for the current president in the last election.
Maybe they should stop voting in the national elections if you don't want them to talk national politics
The current governor is doing his best, but I'm not here to defend him, I don't even like APC.
His best is not good enough, more should be done, especially at the federal level, the governor is not the commander in chief of the armed forces
Zonefree: I must command you for this. You're now a true son of Benue state.
As for the killings, Benue youths shouldn't fold their hands and wait for FG before protecting themselves. No one is coming to save you, protect yourself. Fulani herdsmen and Bandits are part of APC Government agency.
The horrific and gory images of dead people we continue to see in Benue from the time of Buhari till today shows the failure of the federal government and the various security agencies in Nigeria, especially the military.
Since the beginning of the year, Benue has been in the news over ceaseless killings in the state by suspected herdsmen
The truth is that it’s all about land, Fulani herdsmen want to sack Benue people from their lands. They have said it before that they wanted the Benue valley which they said was their ancestral land. But how it became their ancestral land we don’t know. Whenever they attacked, they destroyed all the houses, burnt down others so that nobody could stay there which they themselves would then occupy.
The atrocities Fulani herdsmen are committing in Benue and across the middle belt should not be allowed to continue, every part of Nigeria is important, no place should be abandoned or neglected for any reason.
Benue crisis is somehow complicated with a lot of factors coming into play but I won't go into that, the blame goes to the security forces for their inability to find a lasting solution to the problem thereby allowing innocent people to die.
Benue is home Base of Tactical Air Command of the nigerian air force stationed in Makurdi
The 72nd Special Forces Battalion, a special forces unit of the Nigerian Army stationed in Makurdi.
The police, and other security agencies are also on ground, so what are they doing to protect the people of Benue, why should the people take weapons to defend themselves when we have government in place.
Why is the federal government not too bothered about the incessant killings in Benue, I once blamed the former president Buhari because at a time I felt like his body language was fueling the killings being a Fulani man himself, but Buhari is out of office and the problem still persist, Tinubu is in charge now for over a year and he has done absolutely nothing to address the problem.
Tinubu ought to have set up a special committee that will look into the issue and come out with recommendations on what to do, why is he commander in chief then
The Federal Government is doing nothing but rather enjoying what has been happening in Benue and it's very sad, this is not how a country with good leaders operate.
I also blame the state government because the state has a lot of role to play in maintaining peace, local vigilante group can be formed to tackle the problem, though there's a limit to what they can do, Fulani herdsmen are well armed with AK 47 rifle
There can never be peace and progress in any country that cannot protect its own people, hunger is killing us today because people cannot farm in many parts of Nigeria because of insecurity.
I am a proud son of Benue from oju and a patriotic Nigerian, it's time to take on president Tinubu because I've given him ample of time to address many problems bedeviling this country and he has failed woefully.
Celine Dion took a jab at Donald Trump on Saturday for using at an election rally the song she wrote and sang for the disaster movie “Titanic,” about the ocean liner’s sinking.
The Republican presidential candidate has been lampooned on social media after playing the 1997 track “My Heart Will Go On” at a rally in the US state of Montana on Friday, as a video of Dion performing the song was shown on a big screen.
Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada, said in a statement on X the use of the song and video was “in no way” authorized.
“Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use… And really, THAT song?” it added.
Users on social media have made analogies between Trump’s campaign and the sinking ship at the heart of the James Cameron film.
Trump has appeared on the back foot since Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden in the US election race for the White House.
The former president appeared on track to win back the White House before Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, but Harris has made big gains since replacing Biden at the top of the ticket and announcing Tim Walz, Minnesota’s governor, as her running mate.
“My Heart Will Go On” was released on Dion’s album “Let’s Talk About Love” and the soundtrack to Cameron’s film “Titanic.” It became one of the biggest songs of all time, selling 18 million copies and earning Dion an Oscar, a Golden Globe and several Grammys.
Dion, 56, was forced to cancel a string of shows in 2023 and 2024, saying she was not strong enough to tour after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder.
But she delighted fans last month by singing from the Eiffel Tower at the opening of the Olympics in Paris.
Botragelad: This has been ongoing for around three days now. The Ukrainian army have been able to gain control of certain areas in Kursk, advancing approximately 35 kilometres into the region.
Russian soldiers are being taken prisoner, and there are numerous Russian fatalities scattered about. These invading Russians seem utterly clueless. Take the fight to them.
Ukraine is afraid of its future, especially future US support if Donald trump wins, they will do anything now under Biden to end the war before the elections
The cross-border offensive is Kyiv’s deepest penetration into Russia since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged for the first time late Saturday that Kyiv's military is conducting a cross-border offensive inside Russian border areas.
Ukraine's military was progressing in its campaign "to push the war out into the aggressor's territory," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address Saturday night.
"Ukraine is proving that it really knows how to restore justice and guarantees exactly the kind of pressure that is needed — pressure on the aggressor," he said.
Zelenskyy had not mentioned Kyiv's surprise incursion into Russia before, but the Russian military had said clashes with Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region had been occurring since early Tuesday.
The Ukrainian operation is Kyiv's deepest penetration into Russian territory since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Ukrainian advance “a large-scale provocation.”
Moscow on Saturday was rushing reinforcement troops and military equipment to Kursk and two other regions bordering Ukraine where Kyiv's forces have pushed its offensive. The Russian government also implemented emergency security measures in the three regions — Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk.
Russian tanks have taken up firing positions in the Kursk region, the Russian Defense Ministry said, according to a Tass report. Russia was fighting intense skirmishes on Saturday against thousands of Ukrainian troops as deep as 20 kilometers inside the Kursk region, according to media reports.
In Ukraine, the capital of Kyiv and several other areas came under a Russian drone and missile attack in the early hours of Sunday, the BBC reported, citing local officials.
Zonefree: Can you please show me links of threads you created against the incessant killings of your kinsmen in their hometown by Fulani herdsmen?
You've created over 20 threads about Israel and Hamas terrorists. Are the lives of your kinsmen not important to you?
You can check my threads and see for yourself, meanwhile I believe you are among the people that always make ridiculous and disgusting comments about the killings in Benue, that's why I stopped posting them, just to avoid getting into a fight with your people.
Zonefree: Stand up for your people, leave Palestinians to worry about their problem.
I've spoken against this government more than you ever did, from insecurity to corruption and the ongoing nationwide protest, I don't shy away from issues in Nigeria
You can also stand up for people of Benue, they are your brothers too
Fulani herdsmen in collaboration with bandits massacred over 30 Benue villagers this week. You did not create thread or even condemn the atrocity, you're only bothered about Israel's annihilation of terrorists.
I don't want to believe you're a terrorist.
Here we go again, trying to make stupid point by dragging me into another issue entirely.
CAIRO, Aug 10 (Reuters) - An Israeli[b] airstrike on a Gaza City school compound housing displaced Palestinian families killed around 100 people, the Gaza Civil Emergency Service said on Saturday.[/b]
Israel said around 20 militants had been operating at the compound. Video from the site showed body parts scattered around and more bodies being carried away and covered in blankets on the floor. Empty food tins lay in a puddle of blood, and burnt mattresses and a child's doll lay among the debris.
In another video, men prayed over a dozen body bags laid out on the ground of the Tabeen school complex . The territory's Civil Emergency Service, which has a credible record in stating casualty numbers, and the Hamas-run government media office said in separate statements that the complex had been attacked as its occupants were performing dawn prayers.
"So far, there are more than 93 martyrs, including 11 children and six women. There are unidentified remains," Palestinian civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal told a televised press conference.
Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought shelter in Gaza's schools, most of which have been closed since the war began 10 months ago.
Around 350 families had been sheltering at the compound, Bassal said - some of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by Israel's onslaught on Gaza. The upper floor housing families and the lower floor, used as a mosque, were both hit, he said.
The Israeli military said the death toll was inflated.
"The compound, and the mosque that was struck within it, served as an active Hamas and Islamic Jihad military facility," Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said on X.
He said the numbers published by the Hamas-run media office did not appear to correspond to the Israel Defense Forces' information, but the army provided no evidence of that. An Israeli army official said the part of the mosque that was struck was reserved for men.
Gaslight us all you want but charity begins at home. We will treat you the way you treat yourselves. How does an irresponsible father give lectures on fatherhood?😂 ....is that not madness?
We are well aware that the mainstream Pan-Africanism is a wing of homo-global order that seeks to eradicate sovereign nations and bring about chaos and destruction. Pan-Africanists and the *Western* human rights organisations and *Western * media are partners...you can't fool us😂. We know why you're pushing for all this diversity in Western countries and semi- functional ones. Devils😈.
Lol, coming from a south African
Show some respect, we fought for your independence
