Sirleo05:
Did you suspend the mosque activities as well?

Gbam! These people, if you know you know. Very deceitful and untrusthworthy

ILoveNG:
What is the relationship between what you read and what you typed?

Church Authorities in Dubai took several decisions for the safety of their congregation because of the ongoing war that was started by US to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Pure global political stuff

Now see what you typed, any correlation?

If you can't see the deception here then you are simple minded. Find the gullible sheeps you can trick but over here, our eyes don open

Na here dem dey get power.

Nigerians are very funny people, You dey fear to arm yourselves and fight for your right because you no want offend army so that dem no go come kpai una but at the same time , in doing so, you leave yourselves open to the Fulani Islamists to come and kpai you, abi? so last last you achieved nothing. Exercise your rights, arm yourselves and if that is considered being an unlawful citizen, then so be it.

Army dey front wan kee you, You dey middle, Islamists dey back wan kee you and you dey talk sey make I no offend the Nigerian army. Una get sense so?

Globally , they take advantage of every and any opportunity to crush Christianity either by force or through fake security concerns. All Taqiyah. At the end Christianity would prevail. So their security concerns no reach Mosques that remain open 24/7? last last Christianity go prevail.

Christians don dey wake up small small, back when the crusades took place, some Christians were not sure why that happened, The woke liberals manipulated the narrative to make it seem like the crusades were evil, now people are now becoming more aware of the fact that the Moorish invasion backed by the Arab caliphate and the ottoman empire to forcefully spread Islam into Europe and the rest of the world was a precursor for the Crusades, The crusades were a necessity. We are slowly getting there again.

Law of gravity doesn’t apply to escape velocity! When you keep the momentum, you’ll keep levitating! Just so you know…

If the current situation seems like levitation to you then you might want to check your nearby psychiatric clinic.

Dem say we are not at war but that video looks like something from the days when Liberia were fighting a civil war. Like like play like play, wetin start from Benue enter Taraba don enter Nassarawa, Abuja is next. E don enter Okun land for Kogi and Kwara. Make we dey watch film. Na 4+4 sure pass. 2027 is a goal

As much as it pains me to say it, but this might just be what we need to sit up as a country.

During the Palestine - Israel conflict, Femi Fani Kayode was very vocal, speaking about the lives of those in Gaza while completely ignoring the wellbeing of his fellow Nigerians being slaughtered by Fulani Islamic terrorists.

The other day Pantami was crying like a child for the Ayatollah, meanwhile back home thousands have been slaughtered.

A government where its officials are more concerned about the happenings in places thousands of kilometres away while ignoring its own people should be made to bear the consequences of its ineptitude and utter disregard for the lives of its citizens. If a sanction would return our sense of urgency and teach the government to prioritize the wellbeing of its people, then so be it.

That 500 pounds each that Seyi Tinubu went to share to people in the UK, can be used to arm and feed our security agents properly. Nigeria matter sef.

Thank you Alex Babir and Pastor Dachomo, if not for them telling the international world about the government backed atrocities taking place in Nigeria, The president would not have bothered going to Jos.

I remember how utterly clueless he was as a minister of power.

Una give Boko Haram house, Jollof rice, new okada and even conscript some of them into the armed forces and you want to keep coup plotters in jail? Abeg release them, let them go home, re-strategize and try again. Nigeria don turn Television series. Season 25, Episode 500.

@nlfpmod front page sharply please, let's educate our people

@nlfpmod please frontpage

Some of us actually go school. Make una know that one. Carry your propaganda go somewhere else. No be here, go front

More on this issue. As you can see, it is a powerplay by the EU. The EU used this as its own bargaining chip. Iran is irrelevant in this situation.

The sell of US treasuries was a move that was first mentioned in December 2025 and was partially implemented in January as the EU's response to Trump's threat of annexing Greenland. It has nothing to do with the Iran War.

See the screenshots below and pay attention to the dates. This was at the height of hostilities between the US and EU nations.

Just looking at the frontpage, you might come to the conclusion that you are in Iran land. Everything Iran this, Iran that, Israel this, Trump that. There is more news about Iran than there is about the killings that just took place in Plateau state on a website called NAIRALAND, a website that is supposed to have National issues as its central focus! Haba!
Kilode!!!!

Lies. Some foreign central banks had decided to do this as far back as January 2026. This was a move by the EU as a powerplay against Trump's threat to annex Greenland. Iran is absolutely inconsequential and irrelevant to the EU at this point.

The propaganda here is sickening

Please no political posts here. This is a humanitarian situation, regardless of tribe or political party. There is a Christian genocide going on and we as Nigerians need to come together

helinues:
Head of the affairs in Nigeria. The question is, should the president be visiting each community ravaged with insecurity and lie flat on ground to beg them to stop?

Is that an option available to the president?
A. Should the chief of armed forces have to lie flat on the ground or
B. should you use his constitutional power to end the unnecessarily ethno-religious genocide in Nigeria?

A2.Should the chief of armed forces be more concerned with using asinine propaganda to manipulate the narrative
B2. Should he be more concerned with enforcing law and order with brute force?

helinues:
Head of the affairs in Nigeria. The question is, should the president be visiting each community ravaged with insecurity and lie flat on ground to beg them to stop?

What falls under the category of affairs in Nigeria? could security of lives and property of the citizens of Nigeria be one of the affairs that the president is responsible for or are there more important responsibilities?

helinues:
Using Benue as a case study. So the people waited for president Tinubu to visit the state before reducing/stopping the decades old killing

The still affected places with insecurity, are they also expecting president to be on his knees before they can locate the missing senses that made them to be fighting each other

What is the role of the president if you don't mind me asking?

Moderators please stop trying to silent those of us who know people in the Middle belt and are very well aware of the situation there. I understand political sentiments but this is not the time to do that. Whenever I try to talk about these issues, my post keeps being deleted. At least have some compassion and respect for those who are no longer with us.

I didn’t just put this together from headlines or social media noise. This is drawn from multiple reports humanitarian organisations, field data, and news coverage over the years. But beyond the numbers, there’s something else that often gets lost: the human side of it. Behind every statistic is a family, a village, a life that used to be normal.

Benue State didn’t suddenly become unsafe overnight. The violence there mostly linked to farmer-herder clashes, often involving armed groups identified as Fulani militias attacking farming communities has been brewing for years. Long before Muhammadu Buhari or Bola Tinubu came into office, tensions over land, grazing routes, and survival were already high.

But what used to be clashes has, over time, turned into something much darker. Entire villages wiped out. Homes burned. People forced to run with nothing. Camps filled with internally displaced persons who don’t even know if they’ll ever go back home.

Under Buhari (2015 – May 2023)

There’s no sugarcoating it those years were brutal, especially between 2016 and 2018.

2016 alone saw over 1,200 deaths in Benue from these attacks. That’s not just a number; that’s hundreds of households grieving at the same time.

Then came 2018. Many people still remember the New Year’s Day killings in Guma and Logo. Families who should have been celebrating were instead burying their loved ones. Across Nigeria, over 1,300 people were killed in similar violence in just half a year.

Places like Agatu, Guma, Logo, and Ukum became almost synonymous with tragedy. And even when attacks weren’t happening, there was always that fear people going to farm not knowing if they’d return.

Over the eight years of Buhari’s administration, Benue recorded repeated waves of violence. Some years were worse than others, but the pattern never really stopped. The government was often criticised for reacting too slowly or not doing enough to prevent repeat attacks.

Under Tinubu (May 2023 – Present)
If people thought things couldn’t get worse, the last couple of years have challenged that belief.

Reports suggest that from 2023 to 2025, the scale of violence has not only continued but intensified. Amnesty International estimated over 6,800 deaths in Benue alone within roughly two years alone. That’s a staggering figure when you think about it entire communities disappearing.

2023 already showed worrying signs, with hundreds killed. But 2024 into 2025 saw something closer to a surge. Attacks became more frequent, more coordinated, and in some cases, more brazen.

One of the most disturbing moments was the Yelewata massacre in June 2025. In a single night, over a hundred people were killed some reports say even more. Homes were set on fire, people were attacked while sleeping, and even displaced persons weren’t spared. Survivors described scenes that are hard to even imagine, let alone live through.

And it didn’t stop there. Other areas Gwer West, Ukum, Logo continued to experience repeated attacks, sometimes days apart. In some periods, it almost felt like there was no pause, just continuous mourning.

So, When Did Benue Suffer the Most?

Looking at the data alone, the recent years under Tinubu seem to be the most intense so far. Not just because of total numbers, but the frequency and scale of attacks.


Final Thought

At some point, the numbers stop being shocking and just become exhausting. But for the people living through it, there’s nothing normal about it.

Whether under Buhari or Tinubu, the reality is the same for many in Benue: uncertainty, fear, and loss.

And until something fundamentally changes not just in response, but in prevention we may keep writing reports like this, while the situation on the ground keeps getting worse.

Made this post some weeks ago, and he keeps proving me right

Mrchippychappy:
It never ceases to amaze me how someone like him, who has the biggest platform to draw the worlds attention to the atrocities happening daily in Benue State would rather channel all his energy into trivial irresponsible nonsense than speak up for the people in Benue state. I can't remember him ever being vocal about the unnecessary loss of life in Benue.

Benue State has suffered severe violence—primarily from farmer-herder clashes (often involving Fulani herdsmen/militia attacking mostly Christian farming communities)—for many years, with roots predating both presidents. The conflict involves disputes over land, grazing, and resources in Nigeria's Middle Belt, but reports frequently describe it as escalating into coordinated attacks, village burnings, and mass killings, with significant displacement (hundreds of thousands of IDPs).
Under Muhammadu Buhari (2015–May 2023)
Violence was intense, especially in the 2016–2018 period:

2016: At least 1,269 people killed in Benue from herdsmen attacks (one of the deadliest single-year spikes reported).
2018: Major massacres, including the New Year Day attacks in Guma and Logo LGAs. National herder-farmer violence killed over 1,300 in the first half of the year alone. Earlier years (2013–2015 pre-Buhari or early) saw hundreds killed, e.g., Agatu attacks in 2015/early 2016 estimated at 300–500 in some reports.
Overall under Buhari: Benue saw repeated high-casualty incidents (hundreds per bad year), with thousands affected across the eight years. Nigeria-wide insecurity data (e.g., CFR Nigeria Security Tracker up to 2023) recorded tens of thousands of deaths from various violence, including herder-farmer clashes, though Benue-specific totals for the full period are often cited in the low thousands cumulatively (with peaks in 2016–2018). Attacks were seasonal but widespread in LGAs like Guma, Logo, Agatu, and Ukum.

The government faced criticism for inadequate response, with some years (e.g., 2017–2021) seeing national peaks in related fatalities.

Under Bola Tinubu (May 2023–present, as of early 2026)
Violence has continued and, by multiple independent reports, escalated sharply in scale and intensity, especially from 2024–2025:

Amnesty International (May 2025 report): In the first two years of the administration (May 2023–May 2025), at least 10,217 people killed across several states from gunmen/armed group attacks, with Benue accounting for the highest toll at over 6,896 deaths. Over 200 villages reportedly sacked, and massive displacement (450,000+ IDPs documented).
2023: Around 400–500 killed in Benue (e.g., 414 in 119 attacks per one diocesan report).
2024–2025: Further surge, with analyst databases citing ~1,043 deaths from May 2023–May 2025 in one tracking. 2025 saw repeated mass attacks, including:
April 2025: Dozens killed (e.g., 56 in one incident).
May–June 2025: Waves of attacks, culminating in the Yelewata (Yelwata) massacre (June 13–14, 2025) with 100–200+ deaths in one night (homes burned, people shot or macheted, including IDPs). Described as one of the worst single atrocities in the region.

Other 2025 incidents: 20–50+ killed in various LGAs (Guma, Logo, Ukum, Gwer West, etc.), with reports of 200–300+ in short spates. Data tracking from 2009–2025 shows a "steady and devastating escalation," worsening in recent years.

Benue has seen the highest death toll among affected states in recent years, with attacks becoming more frequent and brazen (nearly daily bloodshed in some periods per rights groups).
Comparison: When Did Benue Suffer the Most?

Overall, Benue has suffered the most intense and deadliest period of attacks under Tinubu (particularly 2024–2025) based on available aggregated data from Amnesty International, local trackers, BBC, and rights groups.

Why do we need American Forces? didn't the NSA tell us that the Islamic terrorists are only looking for peace?

This one na declaration wey Islamic terrorist bandits go dey look forward to. Dem go still go attack Christians again. Make una dey buy chicken and rice for celebration, Ok? continue dey chop rice. No go buy Guns dey wait this islamists.
