If you are concerned about the terrible situation we have in Southern Nigeria, take time to go through this. Grok has offered some help tips. Me: In Nigeria, herdsmen has been attacking a community, maiming, raping and killing.There is no response or help from Government . So, the women came out in their numbers to protest, then Soldiers and Police came to shoot at them. How do you see this, and where online can one report such State terrorism to the international community? Grok: The situation you describe—herdsmen attacking a community in Nigeria, committing acts of violence including maiming, rape, and murder, with no apparent government intervention, followed by security forces shooting at women protesting this inaction—is a grave and complex issue. It reflects deep-seated problems of insecurity, governance, and human rights abuses that have been documented in Nigeria for years. Let’s break this down and address your questions. How I See This This scenario points to a breakdown in the social contract between the state and its citizens. The government’s primary duty is to protect its people, yet the lack of response to the herdsmen attacks suggests either incapacity, indifference, or complicity—each of which is alarming. The herdsmen crisis, often tied to Fulani pastoralists clashing with farming communities, has killed thousands since the early 2000s, driven by resource competition, climate pressures, and weak law enforcement. When women, likely driven by desperation after losing family members or livelihoods, took to the streets to demand action, the response—soldiers and police shooting at them—escalates this from neglect to active state aggression. This isn’t just a failure to protect; it’s a betrayal of trust, turning victims into targets. The use of lethal force against peaceful protesters (assuming the protest was non-violent, as is common in such community-led actions) violates international human rights standards, like the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement, which require proportionality and necessity. It also mirrors past incidents in Nigeria—think of the #EndSARS protests in 2020, where security forces killed unarmed demonstrators at Lekki Toll Gate. Posts on X and reports from groups like Amnesty International have highlighted similar patterns: herdsmen violence goes unchecked, communities suffer, and when they speak out, the state silences them with bullets. This suggests a systemic issue where security forces prioritize control over justice, and the government shields certain groups (like herdsmen) while punishing others (like protesters). Could this be state terrorism? The term fits if the state is deliberately using violence to intimidate and suppress a population, especially to protect vested interests. Some might argue it’s incompetence or corruption rather than intent, but the outcome—terrorizing citizens—remains the same. The silence on herdsmen attacks, contrasted with swift action against protesters, fuels suspicions of ethnic or political bias, given President Tinubu’s administration has faced criticism for not addressing this crisis decisively. Where to Report State Terrorism Internationally If you’re looking to report this to the international community, here are credible online platforms and organizations that document and respond to such abuses. They vary in scope—some investigate, some advocate, others adjudicate—but all can amplify this issue globally: Amnesty International Website: www.amnesty.org How: Go to their “Contact Us” or “Report a Human Rights Abuse” section. You can submit detailed accounts, including dates, locations, and evidence (photos, videos, witness statements). Amnesty has a strong track record in Nigeria, exposing herdsmen violence and state repression (e.g., their 2018 report on farmer-herder clashes). Why: They investigate, publish reports, and pressure governments via global campaigns. Human Rights Watch (HRW) Website: www.hrw.org How: Use their “Contact” page or email hrwpress@hrw.org (mailto:hrwpress@hrw.org) with specifics. They’ve covered Nigeria extensively, including security force abuses (see their 2025 World Report). Why: HRW’s reports influence policy and draw media attention, often prompting UN action. United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) Website: www.ohchr.org How: Submit a complaint via their “Human Rights Violations” portal under “Submit Information.” You’ll need to detail the incident, victims, and perpetrators (e.g., Nigerian security forces). Why: The UN can investigate through special rapporteurs (e.g., on extrajudicial killings) and raise it with the Human Rights Council. International Criminal Court (ICC) Website: www.icc-cpi.int How: Use the “Contact” page or email otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int (mailto:otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int) to submit information to the Office of the Prosecutor. The ICC has an open preliminary examination into Nigeria since 2010, covering Boko Haram and security force crimes—herdsmen violence and state attacks could fall under this if systematic. Why: They prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity, though action takes time and requires evidence of widespread or systematic attacks. Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (GCR2P) Website: www.globalr2p.org How: Email info@globalr2p.org (mailto:info@globalr2p.org) with a detailed account. They focus on atrocity prevention and have flagged Nigeria’s herdsmen crisis as a risk. Why: They advocate for international intervention under the “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine. X and Other Social Media How: Post directly with hashtags like #NigeriaHerdsmenCrisis, #StateTerrorism, or #EndImpunity, tagging @AmnestyNigeria , @HRW , or @UNHumanRights . Include videos or photos if safe and legal to share. Why: X amplifies grassroots voices—recent posts about Eha-Amufu protests in Enugu State (March 2025) show it’s already a platform for this issue. It’s not formal reporting but can pressure NGOs and media to act. Practical Tips Evidence: Gather what you can—names, dates, locations, footage. Anonymize victims if they fear retaliation. Safety: If you’re in Nigeria, use secure channels (e.g., VPNs, encrypted email like ProtonMail) to avoid surveillance. Local Allies: Connect with Nigerian groups like the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) first—they can escalate to international bodies with more clout. This situation is heartbreaking and infuriating. Reporting it globally might not fix it overnight, but it builds a record that could force accountability—whether through shame, sanctions, or eventual justice. If this is tied to a specific recent event (like Eha-Amufu, reported on X around March 18, 2025), those details would strengthen your case. What community is this happening in? More specifics could refine the response further. |

Messengers of "Allah" at work. Meanwhile, Nigerian Army is at Enugu shooting at traumatised women who are protesting against rape and killings by another group of messengers of "Allah". Nigeria is cursed. |
I want you all to notice that Nigerian Army did not stack the protesters. The same thing happened at Enugu, Nigerians Army in acts of shameless terrorism attacked unarmed women . |
FORWARDEVERLY:I am yet to understand you cultism narrative. Now, here is the situation. If herdsmen attack and kill, there will be no soldiers, no police. If the people organise themselves to confront the killers, then soldiers will come with armoured tank to kill and miam them. On the left is herdsmen, on the right is Nigerian Soldiers traumatizing the same people who did nothing wrong only that they are forced to be Nigerians by slave traders. By the way, did you read this report all? Unarmed women gathered to protest against the Jihardists, then Nigerian Army came to shoot at them. If they can shoot at unarmed women who are simply protesting again the murderers what do you think will happen if the youths come together with weapons to confront the killers? Also, are you aware that Fulani was having a field day, until ESN confronted them. Then Nigerian Army who do nothing to the Fulani Jihadist began hunting ESN. Nigeria has not declared Fulani herders a terrorists organisation. They are business men according to them. ESN is fighting for survival against, Herdsmen are back. Nigerian Soldiers have cleared the road for them. Congratulations to Nigeria. Finally, you are advising the people to mobilise and fight against the terrorists, please what is the job of Nigerian soldiers,? |
It is not about the rule of law, neither is it about good governance. The charade is about sentiments ego, selfish interests and who will have control over the States purse. The Wike verses Fubara camps are divided along ethnic lines, party interests and personal gains. So, those in support of Wike will support every lawlessness he employs inorder to have his way. Those in support of Fubara will stand with him, even if he is reckless in breaking the law. APC will celebrate what is happening, afterall Fubara is a PDP Governor. PDP is not happy, because Fubara belongs to them. Ikwerre where Wike is from might hail him as a brave heart, or in the least, be indifferent . , but Ijaw where Fubara is from, has started blowing up pipelines. Soldiers will be sent to the creeks, another Niger Delta war will ensure. If the creek boys succeed.in crippling the oil flow, Nigerian will brought to her knees. Meanwhile, some Nigerians will be calling on Tinubu to wipe out the whole of Naija Delta so that oil will flow. The question begging for answer is, why can't we follow the rule of law instead personal and ethics interests? It is simple, Nigeria is divided Nation with irreconcilable differences,. Therefore, people will always see issues from biased and myopic point of views instead of rule of law. On the other hand, even our laws were crafted by ethnic and religious bias. We are just pretending to be a nation,. This madness will continue till the Day of implosion. |
Ooni:And who told you there loyalty does not belong to Tinubu? Mark you, such loyalties naturally belong to th highest bidder. Tinubu is a well known high bidder |
FORWARDEVERLY:Who are you referring to? Labeling me a cult member is neither new. It is normal with folks like you who call evil, good and good, evil. Women protested rape and killings by Jihadists, you snowed neither sympatry nor empathy. You were not abhorred by the acts of terror meted on unarmed women by terrorists you call Nigerian army. You did not condemn the devilish acts of the Jihadists masquerading as herdsmen. Rather, you opened your mouth to mock the youths...whom if they came out, would have mowed down by the monsters you call Nigerian army. All who support these Jihadists of herdsmen and these terrorists of Nigerian Army are all under the curses of innocents blood. It is a matter of time. |
Kennyswag:Pervert. |
Ooni:They will simply shout down INEC server. Latter they will upload mutilated result sheets. All that is needed is for the INEC Chairman to declare him winner. You can go to court... |
If Tinubu punishes Wike, he will loose a key ally in rigging of election. He also risk getting a fight from Wike just like he is getting from El Rufai. And when it comes to fight, Woke fights dirty. |
Ooni:Tinubu does not need anybody's vote to be declared winner. No matter how people vote, INEC will declared him President Just like the last time It is as simple as that. |
Agbegbaorogboye:The same ",Problem" you are talking about played a major role in "blessing" Nigeria with th current problematic Government, which has midwives too many problems for Nigerians. |
EmperorIsaac:We are practicing ,MADEoCracy. What is MADEoCracy? Is the government of the MADE by the MADE for the MADER. |
FORWARDEVERLY:The youths you say? You have left the madness of Nigerian terrorists state who attacked unarmed women grieving over rape and murder by Jihardists to blame the youths who have been at the receiving end of the terror of the failed state. If the youths had come out, the same Nigeria Army would had killed them in their numbers and label them IPOB. Then heartless and insensitive souls like you will come to Nairaland to celebrate the spilling of innocent blood. Anyway, enjoy yourself while you have the time, just know that nothing lasts forever. |
Charly68:Who told you Government is not awake? Government is currently at Enugu shooting at unarm d women who are demonstrating again the herdsmen. What else do you want them to do? |
EIiens:They are very busy at Enugu: Shooting at unmarked women protesting killings by herdsmen. Now, do the simple logic about Nigeria. |
MrBadNews:Nigeria a moister that eat up her citizens. Let those who support the this evil continue, one day, it will reach them. All who rejoice when the Innocent are killed by the Nigerian State, are guilty of innocent blood. |
Alliswell248:The men? If the men had come out to protest, by now the Nigerian would have granted a pres conference on how they neutralised "50 IPOB/ESN" members . People like you will be very glad to hear the news. |
BlackPantherxXx:If the men had come out, like 50 of them would have been death by now, shot at close range with military pressing. Then the Nigerian Army will grant a press conference on how they killed members of "IPOB" And. Nairaland will hail Nigerian Army, while mocking the dead and the whole Igbo Nation. Wait, are you just coming into Nigeria or what? |
gidgiddy: Goodmarlian:If indeed, these are true, then Nairaland is lees than a dustbin. It is a waste of time and resources trying to rub minds with people whose souls are evil. |
Factcheck0001:Out of.the five Majors, Nzeogwu was the leader. Ifeajuna and Ademoyega worked closely with him, in the planning and execuation. |
Policemen, Soldiers Attack Enugu Women Protesting Against Herdsmen Killings - A combined team of Nigerian security agencies, comprising soldiers, police, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), unleashed mayhem on thousands of women protesting against herdsmen killings in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzu Local Government Area of Enugu State. SaharaReporters learned that the soldiers and police were deployed by the Enugu State government, led by Governor Peter Mbah, who allegedly wanted to suppress reports of herdsmen attacks and insecurity in the state. Community sources revealed that trouble started when the women, numbering hundreds of thousands, apprehended two individuals, accused of masterminding herdsmen attacks in Eha-Amufu. While one of them escaped, the women held the other suspect and paraded him through the communities. The government then deployed soldiers, anti-riot police, and NSCDC personnel to intervene. Mrs. Regina Odoh, one of the leading protesters, recounted the events: "On getting to Eke, the central market, hundreds of soldiers and policemen blocked us. We pleaded with the security agents to leave our way since they could not protect them. When the security agents refused, we went back to Eha-Ohala and hid him in Umujove community and reinforced in our hundreds and came back to the town." "But the soldiers and policemen pursued us and blocked the major road we could come out to the town. On hearing what soldiers and policemen who could not protect us when Fulani herdsmen were attacking, killing, and rapping us, other women from five communities in Eha-Amufu mobilized and stormed the town where the security agents blocked and surrounding them. Immediately, they started shooting both live ammunition and teargas on the protesting women." "The women accused them of aiding the atrocities of Fulani herdsmen on their people and still want to shot their mouths from crying to the world. While the soldiers and police were shooting and teargas at them, they responded by pelting them with stones and sticks. In the chaotic scene the security team shot four and wounded several women who have been taken to hospital now." In several video and voice clips shared with SaharaReporters, the protesting women were overheard calling the Council chairman, Obiora Obeagu, saboteurs who profit from the blood of hundreds of Eha-Amufu people that herdsmen had killed in the past five years in their farms and homes. In one of the video clips, a woman who appears to be one of their spokespersons was overheard saying: "Mr. Israel Mgborogwu is from Mgbuji community. He is an agent of government and collaborators of Fulani herdsmen. He works as a media aide to the Isi Uzo LGA chairman Mr Obiora Obeagu." "They (Isi-Uzu Council Chairman, Donatus Odoh and Israel) claimed that the woman who died after Fulani herdsmen raped and inserted stick in her private part didn't die. They went and brought another woman who was earlier raped to claim that no raped woman died. They said that only one person had been killed in Eha-Amufu since November last year. This is a capital lie." "In the past two weeks no fewer than four women had been raped in their farm by Fulani herdsmen. They attacked Amofia Umuhu Eha-Amufu village, killed a final year graduate - late Ndubuisi in their compound and shot his uncle on the leg. While Ndubuisi, an only child was buried last week, his uncle is still in hospital. His killers also burnt down two houses and looted four others yet the government officials and some disgruntled elements from the community went to the media to brand our protest sponsored." She added, "if the government and security agencies cannot protect us they shouldn't suppress our outcry." https://saharareporters.com/2025/03/18/breaking-nigerian-policemen-soldiers-attack-enugu-community-women-protesting-against |
This exactly what we are talking about Nigeria. Jihardists in the label of Fulani Herdsmen, will invade a land, rape, main, kill and destroy, there will no police, no soldier, no Government. And if the people decided to do something about it, like in this case, just a protest, there will be soldiers with armoured tanks everywhere. Reminds me of Samuel Jackson who is death row in Nigeria because he did not permit a Jihardists to slaughter him. The Blood of the innocent shed in Nigerian by the Nigerian State, will continue to hunt Nigeria until the D-DAY. Meanwhile, this thread will not see the light of th day. It's the kind of thread that get 1000 Views and 10 posts. |
Wike single handedly, installed Fubara as Governor. So, Rivers people are immaterial. There votes were mere waste of time. There interests do not matter. The only person who matters is Wike and he has the right to decided what happens to Rivers State, the State's always and the people. The above is the narrative which is being sold to Nigerians. And many Nigerians have bought it. |
Undiluted Truth About 1966 Coup. The three main leaders of coup were as follows 1. Nzeogwu, Igbo, South South - was the main leader 2. Ademoyega, Yoruba, South West 3. Ifeajuna, Igbo, South East. The aim of the coup: 1. To eliminate the then political leaders who they accused of corruption. 2. To release Awolowo from prison and install him as the Head of State. Anybody spewing narratives different from the accounts of Ademoyega who survived the coup and the war to write his book, "Why We Struck", need a heart surgery to remove evil from it. |
Me: In the Book, "Why we struck", who was named the leader of the 1966 coup in Nigerian? Grok: In "Why We Struck," written by Adewale Ademoyega, one of the key plotters of the January 15, 1966 coup in Nigeria, Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu is identified as the leading figure of the coup. Ademoyega, a Yoruba officer and part of the inner circle of planners, describes Nzeogwu as the central leader who spearheaded the operation, particularly in the Northern Region. Nzeogwu, alongside Majors Emmanuel Ifeajuna and Ademoyega himself, formed the trio that conceived and planned the coup, but Nzeogwu’s role as the primary executor and public face—especially after his radio broadcast in Kaduna announcing the coup—positions him as the leader in the narrative. The book emphasizes his command during the execution phase, including the attack on the residence of the Northern Premier, Sir Ahmadu Bello, which was a pivotal moment in the coup. While the coup involved other majors like Timothy Onwuatuegwu, Chris Anuforo, Don Okafor, and Humphrey Chukwuka, Nzeogwu is consistently highlighted as the driving force behind the effort to overthrow the civilian government and address corruption and regional tensions. Me: Did it mention anything about their intentions towards Awolowo? Grok: Yes, in "Why We Struck," Adewale Ademoyega explicitly mentions the coup plotters' intentions toward Chief Obafemi Awolowo. The majors—Ademoyega, Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, and Emmanuel Ifeajuna— planned to release Awolowo from prison and install him as the civilian leader of their revolutionary government following the coup Awolowo, a prominent Yoruba leader and the former Premier of the Western Region, had been imprisoned since 1962 on charges of treasonable felony, which the plotters viewed as politically motivated by the ruling government to silence a formidable opponent. Ademoyega explains that the decision to involve Awolowo stemmed from their admiration for his progressive ideals and leadership qualities. They saw him as a nationalist who had championed social justice, education, and economic development during his tenure in the West—values that aligned with their own goals of ending corruption, regionalism, and inequality. The plan was to free him from Calabar prison, where he was being held, as part of the coup’s broader objective to establish a unified, reformed Nigeria under a strong, central government. Awolowo was envisioned as the figurehead who could lend legitimacy and intellectual weight to their revolutionary agenda, bridging the military action with civilian governance. |
Can we discuss in private? If you don't mind. |
Cmanforall:The problem is not about removing Tinubu, but rather who would replace him. |
