People like you will go to any extent to mislead people even if it will lead to war. You guys are so lazy to even watch the video, because if you did you would have known this is not Fulani herdsman but terrorist/BHT !
Every crime now are tagged Fulani herdsman, all you guys do is copy and paste, for heaven sake do a little research. Mtcheew

No offence meant to Babaown, but using the word 'lazy' instead of the wickedness bordering on crimes against humanity,which those pedalling misleading info and pics intended to cause civil strife and mass bloodshed, is being too kind.

It is imperative, given negative realities the world sees unfolding due to Social Media, that laws are affected that let individuals world wide understand that they will be tracked and prosecuted by the international community for peddling misleading info that leads to, 'unlawful outcomes' whatever it is agreed constitute grave enough misleading information .

There is a better way of saying this but I don't know how.

Why are we like this

Don’t knock 'Being like this' o; being different and following your own path instead of following the crowd can be good. Being like this is what made Nigerians smart and lead, or was leading, the world in crypto currency use to the extent US became scared and orderd Nigeria to clamp down.

If Nigeria government had been true to the Nigerians' spirit of going it alone and being different, Nigeria wouldn’t have followed America’s edict and ban Crypto

Nigeria needs more prisons. Paucity of prisons throughout Nigeria is probably one of the reasons states tolerate area boys and general disorderliness among the people called antisocial behavior elsewhere in the world.

Dear


Nigerian women, which way? All these ESN, Amotekun , “Arewa Security Marshalls” and whatnot are really just militias being set up for an unnecessary future civil war. You don’t need telling that in majority African civil wars, real beneficiaries are foreign nations and local warlords that lead these militias. The real looser are combatants and especially you women and your children. At least combatants have the solace of booze, drugs and forced access to your womanly crotches. Obviously every nation belongs equally to women and men, so why do you women always sit around doing nothing while useless men plan stupid futures for you, your mothers, grandmothers and children?

Women say NO to these your stupid Black “men” that - lacking know-how to operate competitively and successfully in a world dominated by apparently more intellectually capable white and Asian men - do nothing but prepare sorrow and hardship for your future.

Males make up approximately half the population of Nigeria, must you women that make up the other half leave it all up to them? You women need to form lots of coalition called Women Against Stupid Men talking up unnecessary conflict.

Thank me later.

What's this one saying?

He or she is claiming that Nigeria is a special country and yet when Nigerians claim that they are a special breed different from other African nations, he or she would be the first one to call Nigerians arrogant



Case for Nigeria’s specialness:

Pigeons don’t fly in Nigeria; only Nigeria has crime; Nigerian waters are dirty but water all over Africa and the world are clear; only Nigerians commit fraud; only Nigerians sell drugs; murder and killing only occur in Nigeria; only Nigerian roads have potholes; Nigerians are the most corrupt on earth; Nigerians are the poorest in the world; Nigeria women art the most promiscuous in the world; Nigeria, a nation consisting of over 300 ethnic groups, have no cultural inheritance all we have comes from Ghana; Nigeria ranks number one for women passing off their lovers children as that of their husband’s; Nigeria has the worst of everything but because Nigeria doesn’t keep record the entire world dose not know this, for example Nigeria has more Covid cases that anywhere in the world, etc etc etc

Africa's oil states 'face huge losses' by 2040

Oil and gas-producing countries, including several in Africa, face a multi-trillion-dollar hole in their government revenue as the world cuts back on fossil fuels, according to a report by the think-tank Carbon Tracker.

It estimates the cumulative total revenue loss by 2040 will be $13 trillion (in 2020 dollars).

For seven countries, including Angola, Equatorial Guinea and South Sudan, the predicted loss is at least 40%.

For another 12, including Algeria, Chad, Congo, Gabon, Libya and Nigeria, it is in the range of 20% to 40%.

The report - Beyond Petrostates - noted that several countries facing falling revenues had large populations, singling out Nigeria with 206 million, Algeria with 43 million and Angola with 33 million.

The report suggests that these countries should be helped to diversify their economies and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Such assistance would reduce the risk of instability and social unrest, as well as help to curb rising temperatures, it says.

What exactly is united about Nigeria?

If he called it IPOB, Herdsmen, Oduduwa, Biafra, Ariwa or Bokoharam Airline he wouldn’t attract as many passengers as he would by calling it Nigerian or United Nigerian Airlines now would he?

Besides it’s his business when you start your own, call it I Don’t Believe In Nigeria ltd if you like...

Criticism Number One:

I criticize Nigeria Army for being bullied into doing police work. Doing police work may have saved countless Nigerian lives but this short term benefit has lead to grater loss of life, due to societal break down, since a modern Nation without functioning police force is doomed. Nigeria Army is the plaster Government used to cover a festering Nation that requires the police bandage, sorry for the tortured analogy. In any case, Nigeria needs to invest in deconstructing and reconstructing the police so that it is fit for a Nigeria that has lost its innocence due to modernity. The army facilitates the underinvestment of the police force and the damage of its own military reputation by being unable to fulfill the mandate of police work for which it is unsuited.

IamPlato:
the Dysfunctionality of Human socities or this dichotomy are all a construct of human actions

How does this contradict anything I’ve written?

Day or Night wich is evil?

IamPlato:
No, evil is a choice... Evil is created in the mind... We are not programmed to do evil... If you call evil a natural order then we were programmed to so evil and we have no control of stopping ourselves from doing it but no... Evil is a choice not an automatic process.


Evil is not like hunger whereby if you don't eat food for a long time you will die.

If evil is a natural order then there would be no law to kill people who kill others because everyone will come to the conclusion that they are born that way and it's their right to kill, just like the way Americans have made homosexuality look good and norm

For the sake of simplicity, let us just use the term evil and good the way majority of humans use it. Nature dose not automatically mean good or evil.
Humans differ, it would seem for now, from other animals by our ability to make choices. However, there are just as many humans born with a predisposition towards what we call Evil as there are humans born with a predisposition towards Good. Human societies are largely dysfunctional because of the struggle between this dichotomy.

IamPlato:
If evil is a natural order then there would be no law to kill people who kill others because everyone will come to the conclusion that they are born that way and it's their right to kill, just like the way Americans have made homosexuality look good and norm

Evil does not always seek death just as good does not always seek life; good and evil seek to survive. What path of the dichotomy best ensures the survival of the human species informs Human societies. Right now it seems as if those qualities that we may list under good inform societies; however, the qualities that we may list under Evil may be what inform future human societies as possibly determined by the Right or the Left.

IamPlato:
Basically everything that man does that breaks the natural order can be seen as evil

Man and all that man does is part of the natural order. That wich we term Evil is part of the natural order intrinsic in the dichotomy that seems to underpin existence.

Depends what you mean by evil or how one looks at it. For instance, you could say the foundation of evil is killing, i.e the act of Life taking by living predatory animals and yet dieses are mostly caused by microscopic life. In relation to man, killing is genetic and informed by survival. As an example, place a crawling baby in a pen with a safe rabbit or toy, the first thing baby does is hit toy or rabbit or pick them up and place them in his or her mouth. Thus if you are one that sees killing as foundation of evil, then you could say man is born evil. On the other hand you could say the need to survive is the root of all evil.

Philosophically – for want of a better name- you could posit that since existence is marked by a dichotomy, what we consider or term evil is part of the nature of one part of the dichotomy.

If I had anything to do with polices for Nigeria, I’d guarantee his hope is realized by blacklisting him and his likes so that they never touch foot in Nigeria ever again. He isn’t the lucky one; millions of Nigerians are the lucky ones to be rid of his worthless hide. He was of no value to Nigeria and could be of no value for he is obviously thick. And as I’ve pointed out often, white people are not overawed by praising them, which is what he is indirectly doing by insulting Nigeria. Whites would smile but inside they would see him as a treacherous and untrustworthy. They would be thinking that he is immoral, shallow, unheroic and selfish, the type of individual that is of no potential help to humanity or individuals except self. They would be wondering how it is possible that any individual wanting a foreign country to help him could be so callous as to reveal that he is unwilling to help others. They would profile him as a potential terrorist material ready to turn against Ireland should conditions for him become unfavorable instead of the type that would hang around to help make things better if not for himself and others then others.

Negotiating with criminals like these is a bad idea, short and long-term, however one looks at it beyond the first casual sentimental relief. The only exception I can think of is if the State or Nigerian authorities, involved in such negations, present the criminals long jail terms instead of execution for handing in weapons and renouncing banditry.

Oddly enough police in the UK act similarly. Nigerian police receive training from the British, including doctrinal I expect. When called in situations where arms are involved, UK police do not respond as quickly as one might hope or expect. This perception although may be the relativistic psychological effect experienced by the caller faced with a regular versus critical crime situation. It may also be that since UK police are an unharmed service, delay arises due to departmental deliberating whether the situation requires armed units response. In any case, there does appear time lag between which armed persons are presented with opportunity to flee the scene. Nevertheless Nigeria police are always armed and do not have this excuse.

Arab World looking beyond Oil economy while Nigeria is looking for Civil War and the begging of Europe for Aid in the aftermath of war, a reality even the most primitive African nations left behind in the 80’s and 90s. Ethiopia, not long ago, a promising light in Africa, has now returned to that bad old model, Nigeria wants to follow suit.

How do you know Nigeria don't pay Tax? Foolish country with no database and accuse people of defrauding tax.
Tax are deducted from people salary every month. The money agbero collect with no accountability and database record is called what?

The money local government collect from ordinary boli seller with just one table is what� ?

The ticket they print anyhow and give to market women are what? Offering bah?

Please if youre a Tax defaulter , please stop defrauding government and don't drag us all to your madness.

How does lekki toll gate control traffic? Seems your typing from kwara state bah.

The money collected at the gate of what economic importance has it done to Lekki ibeju-lekki and Epe combine?

The lekki toll-gate has proved itself to fund only thieves and not favoring lagosians

In order words, the right response to you not seeing the evidence of the taxes you claim you and others pay is not to pay taxes? Similarly, toll gate should be taken down because, in your view, money you believe collected is of no economic importance based on your assumptions that thieves take the money for themselves?

lexy2014:
Ok. So what are d "economy" activities that d masses didn't carry out that caused d downturn of d nigerian economy?

Since u say "nigerians are unproductive" except u aren't a Nigerian, can u intimate us on how productive u are?

Why not first use your experiences of how government or Nigeria stopped you from being productive as example of how government is at fault?

Alejobs:


Governance is Nigeria is really a shameful show of power. Of what good is Lekki toll gate to the people?why toll people movement just because you can and major share in that goes to private coffers? Get a rechargeable lithium battery for your fan, Tv, Laptop and light points....better soup na money kill am....you dont have to sleep on the corridor because of heat! Nobody loves the noise and disappointment of the generator, not even your neighbours, dont get tagged a yahoo boi simply because you run you gen 24/7. Lets deal!

Lagos toll gate is one means Lagos implemented to manage traffic and collect tax. Nigerians don't pay tax. Please pay your taxes. Toll gate also strives to create order. Nigerians have enjoyed too much freedom expressed in the form of disorderlyness. Please obey laws and go about life in an orderly manner. Is this too much to ask ?

Same Nigerians that don't want to pay at toll gate or like to climb car roof, exposing underwear, in disobedience of traffic wardens, or whatever Lagos calls them, are same ones that if given chance to travel abroad will obey every law there and even ones not asked of them and would write online to condem Nigeria for not being like abroad.

Which sane person would invest in a country like Nigeria?......

Before you even start any process, lots of brown envelopes must flow uncontrollably........

They change policies like the British weather.........

Are the following places in your country and not in Nigeria?: quote, Lagos emerged as the top destination for capital investment in Nigeria with $8.3 billion, followed by Abuja, which received $1.3 billion. The others on the list are Abia State with relatively lower $56 million, Niger with $16.4 million, and Ogun with $13.4 million.

`

Kaduna, Kano, Abuja, Lagos, Owerri, Enugu all na Nigeria. Taken together it becomes obvious that Nigeria is a mighty place that is drawing jealousy from foreign African eyes that know, better than Nigerians appear to know, what Nigeria represents and they would like Nigeria divided into smaller lands that they can compete with in the future when attracting investment become more difficult and cutthroat.

GeoAfrikana:
This has been happening years before a Fulani man became president so please let's NOT politicize this.

Instead of cursing, nagging and complaining, let's proceed solution in good faith. This platform is the frontpage of the country. You have no idea the kind of people reading your comments. Let's use the opportunity to proceed solutions instead of cursing and insulting.

Finally, it's high time our herders acknowledge that the era of normadism is over. There are urban centres everywhere and urbanization is on the increase, even farmers are finding it less easy to find arable lands let alone cattle herders.

The government should do all it can to help the herders transition into ranching. It will cost a lot but it's worth the investment. And please don't ask any state government to donate land. There's enough tension in the air, we don't want another RUGA bruhaha.

Thank you.

Apart from enriching the owner, it seems to me Niaraland is of no value to Nigeria when, actually, if you consider its reach, influence and readership numbers, Niaraland is capable of so much more. In allowing this platform to be used for sedition, spreading hatred and encouraging conflict under the pretence that bad news sells and attracts subscribers, the owner is short-sighted. Nairaland could have been so beneficial for him as well as Nigeria that it somehow contributes to the Nation's GDP at the very least.

Nothing last forever and I hope that if Shawn still owns Niraland, which I somehow doubt, he has a change of heart and decides to do something about Nairaland so that it becomes a positively enabling place for the majority, not just Shawn’s bank, instead of the opposite, which it is now, for racists, bigots, and foreign enemies of Nigeria disguising as Nigerians to sow the seeds for civil strife and war.

Vardanes2:
All in all, the issue is, until we have a properly funded police and until Nigerians learn to allow the Law to do its job, instead of seeking quick revenge soilutions, this crisis will continue.

"

The thing that the herdsman should have done is called the police, and let them do their job.

But no, most Nigerians prefer self help and taking the laws into their own hands.

You are right and I've pointed this out in the past. The fact that Nigeria is without a functioning police is arguably the largest chunk of myriad problems we have. Another, is that which we inherited from our Native past when superstition was a major tenet of life. An example of how this primordial superstitious inheritance manifest itself in our contemporary society - in relation to your suggestions that Fulani call police - would be that if some Fulani had called the police, those for whom they called the police would cry loudly that the State is supporting Fulani by sending police to assists them.

This may be what happened in those cases reported on Niaraland about military supposedly fighting for the Fulani.

post=98822836:
Why do you and your ilks hate any positive news this way?
Why??

Primitive people are backward and full of superstitions, such folk are trapped by their shortcomings and doomed metaphorically to wallow in dark negative environments such as caves, dark forests. They are more comfortable in a world of back biting, jealousy, poisoning, accusations, spite, gutter, misery and such for the stuff of progress is beyond their abilities. They can’t draw, paint, imagine, visualise, build new things, hope, believe and such stuff as these that are to do with stepping out from the darkness into the light. This type of person would be lost without company so they want to drag Nigeria back. Bokoharam terrorists, and much of recent militant Islamic fundamentalists, share in common with these miserable types a need to stop society progressing.

My experience of Igbo people is that they are smart, clever, industrious and have a deep sense of care for life both for themselves and others. They mourn death deeply, quite contrary to the ideas white people want to portray of black people which is that black people are more animalistic than other races and like animals have less sensibilities when it comes to suffering and compassion. Igbos I know would rather create a manufacturing industry out of something evented by local gifted Igbos and sell those goods abroad in order to invest in the area with earnings. I have always seen Igbos as the future of Nigeria's industrialization. I have always thought that the difference between Nigeria and the rest of Africa is that we have Igbos. Our secret weapon. Niaraland is for me a monumental disappointment.

In the West, they stopped relying on the good behaviour of citizens during the early 18th century as articulated in classic liberalism. Today, in the 21st Century, Nigerians appear to still have fate in human good behaviour as articulated in phrases such as, "Nigerians have black hearts", or "we Nigerian are wicked", or "which way Nigeria?". When Nigeria truly looses fate in automatic good human behaviour this will manifest itself in the Nigeria state investing in effective preventative security industry.

burnt police-station and police in-abia


When the state relies on the good nature of human beings or the power of communities to rear self moderating individuals informed by morals, the state does not commit to the expanses necessary to protect police, for example by building solid, well fortified police stations.

my mistake

This annoying giff actually summarises Nigerians attitude to cattle herders going around constituting deadly nuisances and endangering the lives of themselves and others - you keep eating beef and talking crap.

Boycott beef and prevent a catastrophe!!!

You don’t have to boycott beef for ever only until govt sits up. Notice how early last year or the year before that when people started talking of boycotting beef was when authorities began discussing how to resolve the issue. They came up with Camp/land donation idea that majority of us hated.

It must be that Buhari wants Fulanis massacred or he'd be looking urgently on Social Media legislation that will curb hate instigators. Meanwhile Nigerians need to boycott beef this is one way Nigerians could impact authorities that seem right now unconcerned about the Fulani/farmers question.
