Uncle Abati.

What exactly happened to you?you tasted the PDP free money,and then lost not just your credibility,but from all indications your senses too.

Buhari was elected by Nigerians, so deal with it.

And while we are having this conversation Uncle Abati,the things you are against about Buhari leadership style, was it before or after your source of livelihood(Jonathan)lost?

You are quick to pick out holes in the person of President Buhari,but I am yet to see or hear you say one bad thing about the Government that you were very much part of that plundered and looted Nigeria's money.

Except of course the One time you said you saw ghosts,and spirits in Aso Rock.

Uncle Abati, did you by chance see anything else aside Ghosts in the last Government?maybe like when Bullion Vans of Dollars was being shared?

That reminds me.

Uncle Abati, have you settled with Kayode Ajala?the same one whose family housed you,fed you and you eventually stabbed him in the back. Yes that one.

You have no single honour in you, and I expect you to be the last person on earth to throw stones at President Buhari.

“As they campaign vigorously for elections, you would think, they are coming to grow the economy, enthrone justice, breed unity and tolerance, love for one another.

No, they are coming to elevate Hausa-Fulani supremacy, to reposition the security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replace them with their kinsmen to drive their ethnic domination of the Biafrans, the Fulani herdsmen will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impunity, and their masters will protect them.

They are coming to ensure that my people are enslaved forever. Those who do not, believe me, will soon see it happen before their eyes.”

I think Miyetti Allah Took this Far

Benue must modify grazing law for peace to reign –Miyetti Allah

The umbrella body of cattle breeders in the country, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, has said the anti-open grazing law in Benue State Government, aimed at regulating cow grazing in the state, must be modified for peace to reign in the state.

The Secretary-General of the association, Usman Ngelzerma, said this during an interview with The PUNCH on Monday.

Ngelzerma said, “I like the Benue State governor. He is a peace-loving person but is working on wrong advice. The approach he took is wrong. You cannot change the way of life of a people like the way you turn off a light switch.

“We don’t wish for the crisis to continue but let us give it (the law) another look. We don’t like the killings; we will never condone the killing of people. Give the farmers their rights but consider the pastoralists too.”

Ngelzerma, blamed a faction of the association for issuing threats before the latest attacks in Benue State.

He fingered the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, which endorsed the then President Goodluck Jonathan in the build-up to the 2015 election, as being at loggerheads with the Benue State Government.

The secretary-general alleged that the livestock guards, employed by the state government to enforce the anti-open grazing law, were high-handed and were extorting money from the pastoralists.

Ngelzerma claimed that the fighting between the herdsmen and the livestock guards led to the January 1 killings in five communities in the Guma and Logo Local Government Areas of the state in which over 20 persons were murdered.

He said, “The livestock guards have constituted themselves to the police and the court at the same time. They impose penalties on herdsmen, fine them huge sums of money before releasing them. That was the situation before this crisis erupted.

“I was told that shortly before this crisis, the guards went to make some arrests in a particular community and they met stiff resistance from the Fulani because they were already tired of the persistent harassment from the guards, not the police or the DSS, army or constituted authority.

Death toll in Benue killings hits 71 –Ortom’s aide:

“This was what led to the violence and unnecessary deaths that followed which we do not condone.”

The MACBAN boss urged the National Assembly to quickly pass the Grazing Reserve Bill into law, which will lead to the creation of grazing reserves and ultimately stop herdsmen from encroaching on farmlands.

We’re zeroing in on breeders’ leadership, say police

Meanwhile, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Operations, Joshak Habila, has said detectives are zeroing in on the leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria over alleged involvement in the Benue killings.

The MACBAN Chairman, Benue State chapter, Garos Gololo, had told the BBC in an interview that the killings were in retaliation for the theft of 1,000 cows by some people in the state.

But the DIG explained that detectives were still gathering information and intelligence at the crime scene, noting that anyone found culpable in the killings would not be spared.

Habila, who said this on Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily, on Monday, disclosed that the leadership of Miyetti Allah had been invited to write statements, adding that these were being verified.

The DIG, who is supervising the police operation in Benue State, said, “We have engaged them (Miyetti Allah leadership); we have also confronted them with this allegation.

“Don’t forget, they have taken the government of Benue to court, they are in court. We are zeroing in on them, and if there is any piece of information, we shall pick that has to do with them, they would not be spared.”

Asked if the police were probing the claims by the Miyetti Allah, Habila stated that detectives had gathered a lot of intelligence, assuring that they would soon get a lead from the evidence they were analyzing.

He explained that men and equipment had been deployed in the communities and farms in addition to the aerial patrol by surveillance helicopter.

He said, “They (Miyetti Allah) have given their statements and we are verifying. We have been able to gather a lot of intelligence from the communities that were affected and also picked some traces of evidence. I’m sure we are going to get a window, we are going to get a lead; it is never too late.

“But I can assure you that those who would be connected to the killings would not be spared.”

Habila hinted that the attackers did not come with their cattle so that they could easily strike their targets and withdraw, noting that the targeted communities were distant from each other.

He disclosed that the area was also rugged and not easily accessible, adding that the chopper was in constant communication with the ground forces to alert them to movement of suspicious elements in the area.

He stated that he had been having regular meetings with the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, adding that he had provided the necessary logistics for the police.

Habila pointed out that the security forces needed timely information from the communities about suspicious movements of herdsmen so that the police could know the communities that were under threat and go after the perpetrators.

On the allegations by the state government that the police ignored threats by the herdsmen, the DIG, said, “The police are not so stupid to ignore the complaints by His Excellency, and we would not be so stupid to also damn the consequences.

“You will see in a few days, anybody, who is implicated, would be taken in and interrogated and if evidence is found, like the 18 people that are being prosecuted, we would have no hesitation in bringing them to justice.”

Rubbish topic

Exactly what I've been saying. I haven't read anywhere Buhari saying he's interested in recontesting.

Political rent seekers have been the ones championing and promoting this idea.

If Baba wants to do so he knows exactly what channels to use.

The NEF Chairman said, “I am aware that the most powerful person in Miyetti Allah is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who wants to be the next president. If they are fighting for power and Atiku wants to create problems for Buhari, I don’t know. There are so many possibilities…..

“The most powerful person who finances the Miyetti Allah is Abubakar Atiku and he is a prince of the Tiv Court. The Tiv gave him a traditional title, meaning ‘the biggest shade of the Tiv people’.
“This implies that the Tiv people should be able to run to Atiku who will protect them. This is the man who heads Miyetti Allah and is the greatest financier of this organisation. He has more cattle than anybody in Miyetti Allah.

[b]After a long one month, I won the case. The company was ordered to pay me the money. The day I was handed the check was the day I was given my sack letter. I told them to shove it up their keesters and got my money. I paid the lawyer the 300k and thanked him. My fiancee was shocked and I told her they deserved it.

I planned for my journey, but kept it a secret from everyone. The night I was supposed to travel was when I had decided to let everyone know. Just as I was waiting to board the plane I called my “fiancée” and told her that this was it. I had put all my hopes and trust in her but she had failed me at my time of need. Not what I was looking for in a wife-to-be. I told her she can keep the ring as a reminder of our times together, but at that moment I was about leaving the country and I wasn’t coming back soon. She bawled and begged me on the phone, but I just hung up.

I kept in touch with my friend as time went by and he told me the girl was a wreck. He said he knows that she betrayed my trust but I should forgive her. My parents themselves said she and her parents came to see them one Saturday afternoon to plead with them for me to accept her back.
I know it is a tough decision, but I doubt if we can get back together. One thing is telling me to take her back, as this could be a test of my love for her, and another thing is saying I should just bone the babe and focus on mending my broken heart. Mind you, I still love the girl but she drove a red-hot spike through my heart, and it would take a lot of time for it to heal. Besides even if I was to take her back, it wouldn’t be anytime soon.

The great general from benue have spoken....


Now omekalives what do you have to say?...

jamesibor:
John Atom Kpera, former military governor of Benue state, has said he confronted Tunde Idiagbon over the December 31, 1983 coup that ushered in Muhammadu Buhari as head of state.

Kpera, a retired brigadier general, told Weekly Trust that he was on leave when the government of President Shehu Shagari was overthrown and had no knowledge of the plot — although he benefited as he was later appointed military governor of his home state, Benue.

Idiagbon, then a brigadier, was second-in-command to Buhari, a major general who became head of state after the coup.

Kpera said: “I was in Gboko on my leave when I heard about the coup. I didn’t participate in that one so I simply went back to Lagos. I went to Tunde Idiagbon and asked him: ‘What are you people doing?’ I told him what I have never said to anybody.

“When I went to his office I said, ‘Tunde what are you people doing? If this coup had failed and I said I was not part of it people would not believe me because of my relationship with all of you.’ We were friends but I had no inkling about that coup at all.

“I told them, ‘Look you don’t do things like that because if the coup had failed and they arrested them, I would have been arrested too.’ Other than that, it (the coup) came to me the way it did to any other person.”

He also disclosed how he heard about his appointment.

“When the coup took place in December of that year, I was here in Makurdi and when I rushed back to Dodan Barracks, I met Tunde Idiagbon who told me that I was posted to Makurdi to take over as governor of Benue State,” Kpera said.

Kpera was previously military governor of the defunct East Central state — today’s Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu states — from March 1976 to July 1978.

IGBO ‘HARD WORKING’

He described Igbo people as hardworking who helped him to realise his ambitious budget of N85 million in one year.

It was such a huge amount at the time, forcing Shehu Musa Yar’Adua — who was second-in-command to Olusegun Obasanjo — to summon him to Lagos.

Kpera recalled: “In one year I announced a budget of N85 million and the then Chief of Staff, Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, sent for me to come to Lagos. He sat me down and said, ‘This is what you announce how are you going to get money for that?’ The policy was no deficit budgeting, but I sat and explained to him how I was going to get the money. When he was satisfied, he asked me to go.

“The Igbo man is very hard working; if you commit him to something he does it. Community development is their number one priority as I knew. I must admit that all the efforts I made there were due to their cooperation and commitment to community development.”

He will be 77 on January 3, 2018.

very useless post.
The major reason why your igbo brothers have chosen to invest outside their regions is because they know no viable market exists there. That's is why most of them are in Lagos.

Lagos, whether you like it or not, still remains the largest market hub in Nigeria That is why your brothers have flouted IPOB's order to vacate the region.

Igbos will continue to get their livelihood from Lagos.
