So this now justify the senseless killings by the herders. How will someone's private business constitute nuisance to other people's life.God judgement will surely comes upon those cow owners and their headers one day if they don't stop their atrocities.

We have been shifting all the blames on the herders while neglecting those who they are looking after their cows who might be providing the herdsmen with resources in attacking farmers.

Ojiofor:
My priority is safety of every citizen of Nigeria regardless of region because it's same people killing in North and south for land grab.

Sorry for here, it begins with charity. We like taking here of home first before pokenosing into others affairs

What's the political relevancy of Amaechi in Rivers state to start with?

gidgiddy:
No wonder you people say and do nothing as armed herdsmen slaughter your people in Ondo, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti

But if you guys hear that people sat at home in the East, nobody go hear word

Anything to appease Northerners because of politics

As old as you are, you shouldn't be doing this again but unfortunately for you, nothing like old or young for that una end, almost everyone wear same attitude

Ojiofor:
They are both related the method and strategy is same thing.When have protection of cows become more important than protection of human lives?
Must cow business strive at the expense of human lives?
Continue making excuses for terrorist jihadist who disguise as herdsmen.

So between the herdsmen crisis in North and South, which zone should be your priority?

Biqsahm:
u er very on point boss,I just Dey see emotional comments every where, Nigerians need to learn that having different opinion on one issue should not make us life time enemies,dis ur observation is not even about apc so I am yet to understand d beef n d sentimental comments littered all over dis place.

If we really want way forward about the issues affecting us in Nigeria, we need to look pass those who are not interested in discussing issue based but just being petty like the people above.

They don't have any opinions about any issue and those who are expressing theirs, they want to silent them

Ojiofor:
So what have herding of cows get to do with the genocide going on in Benue, Plateau and other states in Nigeria?

This thread is not about the herdsmen crisis in North but southern part of Nigeria

mrrandomguy:
This is not how it is sir.

When herders move into any community with their own cows, they entice prominent people and anyone who looks friendly in those communities to acquire cows and keep with them. Sometimes the herders offer free cows to these village heads and prominent people.
Then they ask these indigenes for grazing land. After a while they begin to romance the local women and entice them with money. Many get pregnant. Eventually they start to misbehave.
This method was used effectively in Okunland, Kogi state, Oro Ago in Kwara and other Yoruba communities.

Bro , even before I was born, we have been having the Northerners in my village, they don't just come and go, they settle permanently by having their own space.

Not a single event between herders and farmers till today. I have references of other close bye villages.

The current set of herders that are causing trouble are those who was invited anonymously by those who are into cow business in Southern Nigeria.

Biqsahm:
God bless u bro, u dey very right with dis ur observation bro.make I share wetin dey happen fr inside my estate like dis, imagine inside estate o bro naso one Fulani boy lead large amount of cows dey move inside our estate mess up d whole place, normally my instinct was to confront but I say make I wait make I tell one or two ppl b4 I make my move , I was shock when person hint me say na d chairman of The estate get d cow n na him employ a Fulani man to Dey move up n down.imagine!! wit everything wey dey sup for Nigeria presently, na we ourself Dey invite dis ppl come oo.

Bro, the herders don't have that guts of coming all away from North and settle down at any forest in Southern Nigeria. They must have been invited.

Even when they sometimes have issue with the farmers, it's still the people they are working for that normally protect them from persecution

searchlight:
So you didn't see anything wrong in political godfatherism? You didn't see anything wrong in Fubara ruling Rivers with Wike's orders? Hmmm, and we want the country to progress.

How did he become the Rivers state governor? Did you ask this question then?

FreeThinker from Pluto

According to the statement, the trip is aimed at strengthening diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties between Nigeria and countries in the Global South.

That's the official statement from the presidency not what the blogs and media are saying

AMINDA:
Just the way Tinubu's greed and campaign of calumny have retired all contemporary Southwest leaders except those who grovel before him, right? Osinbajo, Fashola, Ambode, Aregbesola, Fayemi, and soon, Sanwo-olu. They have all been branded betrayers by the SW for daring to chart their own part away from the godfather.

Well, a Yorubaman can never choose a leader for the North. It's impossible. The North choose their own leaders.

Those that you listed above, which political position are they currently holding? Would you have expected recycled people in government which you would have still complain about

Wondering why some people would waste their time to write long epistle on information they don't have the accurate details about.

President Tinubu is on working visit not on holiday or vacation. It's annoying for you people to always be arguing blindly on an incorrect information

Just as I initially predicted how things should go. The process is still yet to be completed .

Fubara should just focus on governance after his suspension expired. 2 years is enough to catch up with things he has missed

Unbiased1:
Can you provide any evidence to backup your claim that southerns are responsible for providing the weapons the herders use in southern Nigeria? These are herders who have been seen by community people marching their cows from Benue towards communities in Enugu.

Let's be logical with this discussion. You want herders to look after your cow for you. If you employ a security as a gateman in your house, you are employing the person to do whatever it takes to protect and secure your house. You either provide money or the resources

boxypane:
The thing is, are Nigerians really worth fighting for?

SIM could not let go of is own personal interest ba? The food no go drop

You said that above right?

overall90:
😂
So this is the latest propaganda and misinformation from your WhatsApp group.
It's is no more deforestation of the Sahel and search for pasture.
It's is the southerners inviting them !

If you are truly from southern part of Nigeria, then shun those petty thing you wrote above and let's discuss something affecting us all sincerely without being political or emotional

Unbiased1:
So this is your reason why Herdsmen move around with guns, kill people in mass numbers, burn down communities and rape women? Dude, Herdsmen have been moving with their cows all around Nigeria for years without issue. The problem started when they began to acquire guns and cutlasses which they now use to act with impunity, destroy people's farmlands and burn down their communities.

Whose cows are they protecting? Who provided them with those guns and ammunitions? Remember they are only herders looking after some people's cow.

dederocs:
The president need to change the heads of services of the armed forces, they are not doing enough.

They have been changing them for years yet little progress.

To stop the terrorists from operating, arrest their top leaders, those one will give the government the information about those who are sponsoring them, the ammunitions those rag tags are using are expensive .

After extracting full details from the arrested terrorist leaders about those who are financing them, government should publish their names in most of the major news paper. That alone without arresting them would bring shame to them, family and their associates as they are well known in their town

boxypane:
Yeah, SIM could not let go of is own personal interest ba? The food no go drop.

Would you have done that if you were in his shoe? Drop your own personal interest for your inconsequential supporters?

How much was egg in 1999? Can't some of you guys come up with superior excuse in justifying why this government is a failure instead of irrelevant thing. Is the minimum wage same as in 2010?

Ridiculous right, wait and let me explain

You see those abattoirs in Southern part of Nigeria, the owners don't mostly buy cows everyday, they have cows in both North and South that the herders( Herdsmen) are looking after for them. They only give them money and expect whatever it takes to keep their cows for them.

If you see some herders all away from North settling down in any forest in southern part of Nigeria, they are mostly invited by the owners of the cow .

Why can't those who are into cow business from Southern part of Nigeria build ranches for their cows, that would avoid the unnecessary clashes of the herders and the farmers. Cows sometimes don't hear payan, not much the herders can do in controlling the cows during grazing

dederocs:
I agree with you, seems some people somewhere want this to persist, with all our firepower, it's absurd we can't stop these terrorists threats. Our security apparatus is compromised.

If those who are financing those terrorists don't have people in our military, they would have been decimated long time. Their are cabals in service and ex service that the government first need to shame publicly before arresting them

dederocs:
We are not safer, better or more civilised than America, Japan, China, Qatar etc that still uses death penalty...or is Nigeria afraid of amnesty intl, lol...why amnesty no call out these other government...kick amnesty international out.

Those terrorists are just pawn in the game. The people who are financing them are still the one lobbying about their release after caught...

We have only been arresting and killing the errand boys not those who are sponsoring and financing them

They should extend the capital punishment to the ritualists as well. They are all evil people who are not needed in any community

PastorKosi:
Can you explain further? I didn't really get what you meant

Some family's ancestors started with poverty. Your wife and other siblings might be the first set of generation to get over poverty. They are just at the beginning of the journey, getting married into such family, even if you are rich, the efforts won't longer make sense in helping all the time. Not even necessary to be financial

CJStarz:
When we say Igbo men get liver pass oda men for Naija, una go think say na capping. Ngige stood his ground against his godfathers,same went for TA Orji who broke free from.Orji Uzor Kalu. Igbo men are fearless. A true Igbo man for stand up to.Wike. Shaa,Fubara don fall yakata.Him manhood no teach anywhere.i pity him followers.

May be I should have ignored this but I just thought it's important to correct some things that some of you might have not thought about.

What you are calling liver is actually ego massaging support because eventually, you don't achieve anything with the support of whoever/whatever. Flash back to the past and relate it with the present, what precisely have you achieved from the said liver than others whether politically or economically?

Thrasher2024:
Tinubu would promise to hand over power to Kwankwaso 2031, but what Tinubu forgets is that you never trust power to a Fulani man

I have been reading from some of you lately talking about handing over to Kwankwaso.. Hahaha

Before the 2031 election, most of the current politicians not just in North but the country as a whole must have been retired whether voluntarily or by force

If not are really ready to do things differently, they need new set of political players.

See sarcasm... Those who are struggling to comprehend things might struggle to get Bashir message
