TRUTHaDDICT:
These is my very first comment on Nairaland after many months of longing to join all yee wonderful people of Nairaland; I specially recorgnize some loudable people here while I was a window Nairalander in the person of Omenka, Chukwudi44 and the host of you. Please one "Like" may not be too small as a note of WELCOME.

Welcome sir.

gud4dbest:
affirmations that they were fulanis herdsmen were several in the body of the news...so wot do u mean?

You are a shameless liar. The story is right in front of you yet hatred would let your mind see the truth. Quote one line in the body of the news where Fulani was mentioned- I mean just one.

The story says "suspected herdsmen" and the title says "herdsmen". In no part of the body of the story was "Fulani" mentioned, but the op just had to give his own preferred title "Fulani herdsmen" and it was moved to the fp without due diligence.

Seun, Mynd44, Lalasticlala, you people should play your part in addressing this stereotype. This nonsense is being promoted while you guys look the other way.

@ Modath: Copy me when you done so I cld delete.

Can't access the other email into which u sent the other messages.@ Modath, pls delete that below.

How many epistles did you write when your people were being asskicked?

It's a pity I'm not here to indulge folks like you whose hearts have been ravaged by hatred beyond what the surgeons or shrinks at John Hopkins could ever fix, and it's a greater pity there's absolutely nothing you can do about what I do here.

Whoever gave you the idea your opinion which always flies in the face of logic and reason matters a whiff to me must have thought you the most impressionable toddler.

When you eventually get over yourself, you just might succeed in giving yourself a much needed lifeline to self redemption. At this rate, there's no telling you would end up at a mental asylum real soon.

You may as well go to hell and choke on your hatred, I couldn't care less.

Modath, isn't this what we have been saying?? I'm glad those who know better are gradually coming out to speak up.

I won't be surprised if the same people who were ecstatic over this same Cardinal's recent critical comments come out to insult the heck out of him.

The hate they harbour in their hearts have eaten up their minds so much they can hardly distinguish between an illusion/delusion and reality.

Buhari will remain the president for the next three years and if he desires, he will seek to be for another four years subject to the nod of Nigerians. A patch of spiteful inconsolable losers can eat their tongues and choke on it for all we care- it is not gonna change a darn thing.

Hasn't this been the point some of us with the ability to scrape off the superficial dressing of this mess and examine the issues that lie beneath??

I'm glad this is coming from Onaiyekan whose recent comments those that seek to gain all possible political capital from the deliberately induced crises have been espousing.

Thing, like I've been hammering here, aren't what they seem. There is no doubt some dark forces are desperate to instigate a full blown religious crisis just to further their political gains as they've lost out woefully in the scheme of things from the last general elections.

The fact that even sighting a cow in our metropolis today constitutes a crime "comparable to rap£, murder, and theft" goes to show what these agents of destabilisation have up their sleeves. One thing they've forgotten is that they played this hand in 2015 and it worked only in their region without whose votes, the opposition still emerged victorious!

Nigeria will rise above these shenanigans and her enemies great and small shall be put to shame.

The president will succeed, Nigeria will and so shall her patriotic citizens.

citizenY:
Omenka, in the name of all that is decent, do not make Any further comments on this matter. You have made your point. I am not comfortable with your temperament today. Please do not follow them into that territory.

I'm sorry. It is just too frustrating seeing how a people are gradually losing all traces of humanity for the simple reason that their preferred candidate in a contest was defeated. What the hell is all this??

I'd heed your advice and not comment any further. But honestly, these people are going way over their heads. Haba.

chigoizie7:
Nope, that is not it.

The question should be, why is it that PMP did not condemned the attacks and giving subsequent orders to capture and prosecute the erring herdsmen, as fast and as urgent as he ordered the annihilation of the avengers. Or as fast as he condemned the terrorist attack somewhere in europe.

As a president, your every single move is monitored and thus, criticized. Always strive to do the right things and avoid all these silly cooments.

Seeing your signature, knowing you are someone who "doesn't believe love exists", I imagined it is useless trying to make you see the impropriety of the attitude of your brothers and yourself.

Police was said to have captured a couple of persons alleged to have participated in the incident in Enugu, were you the one who gave the orders to track the killers down??

You said he didn't condemn the attacks, were you the one who made the statement here: www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/buhari-condemns-fulani-herdsmen-killings-meet-ugwuanyi/

What exactly do you people want to achieve with this inflammable nonsense?? Do you think you'd be safe should shiit hit the fan??

Where was this venom when Nigeria's innocence was violated in 2012, October first, when president Jonathan unequivocally exonerated MEND from the attack even when they claimed responsibility??

Do you imagine what people like you and your brothers would say should Buhari attempt something like that??!!

Hatred is eating you guys up slowly and if you don't check it soon enough, it would end up consuming you.

A word is enough for anyone with a brain.

Goodbye.

modath:
In no way is this normal or global best practices but why are people allowing hate and hyprocrisy becloud their judgement?

Has herdsmen moving around places they normally shouldn't be seen not been with us through the ages?

What changed and is causing so much frenzy?

This sight didn't Originate with Bubu's ascension to the presidential seat, people should be bold and say "I hate you for who you are and for what God made of you" & not hide behind one finger"

Hate induced charlatans!!!


BTW, That is not inside Area 11 CBN quarters or the fence is decoration?, it's the roadside and as is common with Abuja, there are bushes around!!!! We can peacefully find a way around this, confrontation won't help!



*any misguided mention, psalm 35*

They disgust me no end honestly. These people have lost every single fibre in the heart that makes one human. You should see the look on my face reading their comments.

These are the same people that would come at someone claiming they are being hated for no reason. Imagine one comparing moving cattle around to rape, murder, and theft!! Tell me, how can one call such a thing "human"??

God forbid.

Nairaland became for a moment, a much more habitable place when some people, out of the admin's refusal to tolerate their excesses, quit the forum in protest. I wish they never returned. Why don't you people just take all this your dark hearts to your facebook pages and alabiawhatever.com and keep it there??

Some of these people even claim to be more Christian than the pope, just came back from church, and the devil in them just couldn't wait o take over.

I cringe in fear as to the terrorists yall would raise as kids if you continue with this mentality- it is absolutely beastly to say the least.

chigoizie7:
In 2005 , according to u a plane hits a cow.

What you should be asking is,

What are cows doing in a run way?

What are cows doing in the airports? It could have been disastrous.

It should have been a big lesson to all and sundry that allowing these herdsmen move about freely, cnstituting nuisance is not good for this country.

And speaking out or condemning the act would have been a better option, but how do u do that? Of course media houses is one of te places to create such awareness. I dont see anything the OP did by posting pictures of herdsmen walking where they are not meant to.

Keeping quiet and making it all look normal will make dem wander into another airfield to graze, because it is now clear that these people are ignorant of what they are doing.

It is sane people like you that are meant to caution them or their leaders, it seems they only listen to their leaders or people of same clan. It is evident even here on NL, there is another thread of herds of cows obstructing the movements of imo state governor for morethan 30mintes. And if someone speaks about its dangers on social media, the person is considered a hate personified individual.


1st thing is this, 2005 is a long time, this is 2016 and if u can not some of the things that brought u back in the past, how do u intend to move forward?

1st of all, condemn that very act of herders obstructing the major roads all over this country, condemn their act of grazing on peoples farms, and if they now ask of a reasonable alternative if they stop all those, mention "RANCHES" to them, educate them on the importance of cattle ranches.

And stop condemning peole who condemns this barbaric acts of herding cattles on the streets or destroying peoples farms.

You don't seem to get it. The question is why are people trying too hard to make this look like it is happening because Buhari is the president.

This is nothing but hatred for the president taken too far. Haba!! Aren't these people human beings as well?? Is it the president's fault he was born a fulani?? What exactly did he do to you people?? Is it a crime defeating an opponent in a contest??

Is this the kind of orientation you would give your children?? What good can come out of all this??

Gosh! Things like this make me feel like some people don't deserve being called humans.

ramalot:
That's like saying "haven't murder, rape and theft" been part and parcel of human existence as long as we can remember?

Because something has been a certain way for a long time doesn't make it acceptable.

Your comment is the vilest, most twisted, most disgusting and most hateful I've read in recent past. Just look what hatred has done to you lot.

Since when did moving cattle around become a crime comparable to murder, rape, etc?? Just look at what you people have become.

I feel I throwing up. Tufiakwa!!

God forbid that I become like one of you.

Beremx:
Alright!

another good news?

Aunty Bee, I told you to be patient. Baba won't disappoint us. Things are difficult, yes, but things will definitely get much better. The people of Venezuella are even doing far worse.

Osyabj:
Speaking further, the Itsekiri traditional titleholder claimed that the recent attacks are part of a move to force President Muhammadu Buhari to soft-pedal on investigations of large scale fraud and theft of public fund during the last administration.

This has always been my position.

Abeg when time reach, make dem give me contract to produce the coffin. At least, let one claim some financial benefit from the incident.

Ali Modu Shekau/Fayose 2019 or death!!!

The hate is getting deeper.

I keep saying this- hatred as devastated not only the hearts but the minds of some Nigerians. It has become so bad their minds are beginning to process images that don't tally with the feeds they get from their vision: where are the cattle inside CBN quarters here??

Here you have herdsmen either taking cattle for grazing or back from grazing from/to their confinement perhaps not far from the CBN quarters, poster made it sound like it is taboo to find the cattle where they are.

What is there to gain from demonising these people?? Where is our doctrine of love as Christians?? Haven't we been seeing such images in our cities since forever?? Why are you people making it sound like this is a new thing?? Haven't nomads been part and parcel of our society for decades??

Where are the AK47s some people have been trying hard to tell the world they always bear with themselves??

Now, check this out:

Plane hits cow on Nigerian Runway: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4659281.stm

That happened way back in 2005, and other similar incidents have happened.

With our minds twisted so badly by hatred, imagine what people like the poster would say should something of a similar nature happen today.

You people should stop adding fuel to a fire that would consume you while the politicians who would gain some capital from all of these inflammable comments would disappear with their families to a distant safe house.

Rose2014:
But why is FG dealing openly with everyone but dealing secretly with herdsmen?

Question for Ifa

Here we go again... They can NEVER disappoint.

kcnwaigbo:
They have listed reasonable demands.The government should negotiate with them!

You call those demands "reasonable"

What they are literally asking for is that Buhari vacates office and hand over the keys to Aso Rock to them.

Their demands are nonsensical.

Rose2014:
See how u rushed to write this epistle once you heard crushing Nigerdelta militants
But if it's about Fulani herdsmen now, ur phone keyboard will stop working or u'll start asking silly questions




Why won't it be very exciting for u when your lazy ass depends on the oil from the region hence it's a do or die affair









Back to topic: what happened to dialogue?

Why didn't they think about dialogue before blowing up pipelines, making very stupid demands of the government.

Like someone said, it is the innocent people I pity. Those guys threatened to "take the war to Tompolo's backyard in Gbaranmatu if he doesn't tender an apology over the letter he wrote to the FG" and one then asks: whose interest are they fighting for??

Adminisher:
If the people affected don't deny the story or issue a rebuttal then you are the village IDIOT.

You cannot cry media trial on behalf of people more capable, knowledgeable and exposed than you and are willing to defend themselves.

Sometimes the FG sees no need to try a banker for accepting money from a government department pre TSA.

I think you quoted the wrong person. You both appear to be on the same page.

DropShot:
In Mourners voice "it's a lie. No money was returned. It's all propaganda and media trial".

You just shat on the head of those two blokes below you.

snailspeed:
Is this all you could muster after typing with 50MB? SMH for you! This is f9! Address the issues. No one is interested in your emotional outburst! The only thing that will make you celebrate budget signing as acheivement is that you are too desperate to find a positive in the Buhari collosal disaster. That is as obvious as it gets

You sound like you are about to have an emotional breakdown.

Stop shouting and keep wailing.

I have no intent of paying any further attention to this utterly unnecessary thread anymore. Like I said, attempting to stop you people from wailing is like attempting to suffocate you.

Errrm, I typed this with 100MB this time and not 50.

Bye.

snailspeed:
[s]I have watched and read in amusement APC supporters celebrating the signing of the 2016 budget as an achievement of the present administration. It started like a joke but because it has become a swan song for them, it has become necessary to address the issue.

First, what is a budget? A budget is a simple planning document for an organisation or entity. In this case, that organisation or entity is a country, Nigeria. A budget in a statement of intent. It isnt a project that you can eulogise or celebrate. Secondly, implementing a budget is a function of several factors. That is why in many cases, you hardly get a 100% implementation of the budget. In this particular case, having signed the budget into law in May, it is totally impossible to get a 100% implementation. So we have started on a very wrong foot. The whole process of preparing the budget has been one big joke. A complete show of incompetence by the government of the day.

What really calls for concern is the fact that the budget has been passed with the fraud inside intact. The budget was filled with fraudulent items when it was first exposed and any one observing the process would have expected the fraudulent items expunged and the balance returned as the real budget. But from the final figure released, the fraudulent items have not been expunged. They have either been renamed, reshuffled or their figures injected into other projects. This leaves us with a really corrupt budget on our hands.

So it should give us a cause for concern that some folks have gone to town to celebrate the sigining of the budget, not even the implementation, as some achievement. The only story that tells us, is one of desperation and clutching at straws. It seems the situation is so bad that the supporters of this administration are willing to clutch at anything to get some relief. Or maybe it is just another one of the distractions being thrown around to derail from the critical issues we all face at the moment.

The critical issues at the moment include,

1. Terrible Inflation
2. Total National Blackout
3. Lingering Fuel Scarcity
4. Rising insecurity
5. Rising unemployment
6. Nepotism
7. The Worthlessness of the Naira

The question to ask is will the signing of the budget fix any of these listed issues? Answer is not at all.

Venezuella economy is currently in the toilet. Did they not have a budget? Yes they did! So why did the signing of their budget not change their economy? Because signing a budget does not change an economy. Good polices and good implementation is what will change an economy. The policies that are in place before Buhari signed the budget are the same policies in place after he has signed the budget. So how is the economy going to change?

Take the Naira crash for example. The problem exists because of bad policy from the CBN. Is the budget signing going to change that? Not at all. Another example is the lingering fuel scarcity. Is the budget signing going to fix that? Not a chance.

It is even ridiculous to paint a picture that the government cannot provide good governance until it has signed a budget into law. Did Buhari need to sign a budget before travelling around the world? Did they sign a budget before they gave out bail out funds to the states? The only message this sends is that the government does not know what they are doing so they try to distract everyone with false hope. It seems like they are still in campaign mode. But the elections are long over. They should get to work and provide good governance instead of engaging in hype and rethoric

Signing of a budget is neither a milestone nor an achievement that a serious government should celebrate. It is sad to see that we have come this low in the last one year. where we now have to throw a party when the president signs a budget. Just too low![/s]

Very positive correlation exists between this poster's mode of thinking and his moniker.

I've come to realise one thing over the months since Baba's been on the saddle: wailing to wailers is like taking in life sustaining breaths.

Take away their ability to wail and you'd damn well kill them! Hence they simply create a wailing avenue if one doesn't exist so they can survive!!

Keep wailing boy, we perfectly understand your plight.

Mehn!! Politics money sweet to chop die!! God bless Dajo!! See flexing for here.

Anyone who says "God go punish Buhari followers", I decree, with the power of the God of Elijah, that that curse would locate and dwell with them and their household ONLY, in Jesus name, amen!

NaijaEfcc:
omenka abeg how market prices for your area?

Bros me na inside village I dey live oo. D tin never change for we end. Na only bush meat price don increase. They are complaining about the cost of fuel to power the robotic dogs that chase down the antelope.

How e be for ya side naw?

Kyase:
Omo tiv people no dey joke with that man ooooo.
As for ortom, today e come my area share money any how, but e no pay workers.

When I see am, I just say "shey na him dead body be dis wey dey waka so". Imagine the noise they made on social media about his "death".

Well, the pics posted by our comrade up there are just pics of the school of nursing close to police headquarters under renovation. The road should be Naka road leading to his "university".

This guy no dey try jor. That SUV own na him dey pain me pass.


Meanwhile, guy, dey ignore that iflywithbuharii person.. Na that my stalker from way back under a new moniker. She don deactivate the other two. I pay no attention to her at all. Learn to do thesame. Make boredom kill her.

Kyase:
Come force am comoth na.
Dey guy just leave gboko now sef.
Omenka problem na because e no pay salaries, and e allow akume control am.

Lol. Make the guy sort him workers jor. No government mess with the pay of civil servants and go unscathed.

Was even around today for a friend's wedding. Akume was there too. I just dey look am like: you see ya life?

That's him giving his speech. Zoomed in so the pic became quite "blurry".

GWMI:
[color=#006600][/color]To be honest, this is the first time i am seeing you saying the truth keep it up because it will really help you.Do you know my spiritual mentor who rescued me from worldliness is a benue man?Yes is a TIV man from benue called AUGUSTINE AKOGHUMU.This man changed my life and ever since then i give respect to northern Christians.Please keep doing that which is right so you leave a good legacy for your children.Thanks.

Akoghumu doesn't sound like a Tiv name, more like Idoma (even at that, I don't know of any indigenous Benue name with a GHU, they would rather have GU or GBU).

I've always stood for the truth, just that some ethnoreligious bigots hate it a Christian could be such a staunch supporter of a Muslim.

99% of those who dislike my posts are Igbos and staunch Buhari haters, but honestly, just like Jonathan, I don't give a damn.

Junior66:
Are u a fulani man? Why is sincerity such a difficult task for you?
Did u even read de post?
Did u.miss de part where he said dat kolanuts were sent to all then Fulanis across the nation as a signal for them tp send representatives for the atrack?
Are u even a Nigerian?

Emotional kids cherry picking everywhere.

Then they end it always with a question about one's origin to demonstrate their bigotry.
