Doyin2:
Good question.

The president was responding to a security question posed by the respected bishop.

Do I agree with him?

A very tough one .But do I have any security report to disagree with the president?

NO!

And should I insult the president and accuse him of incompetence because of that?

HOW?

WHY?

You and I know how Buhari has been pushing desperately for the creation of cattle colonies and grazing routes for the herdsmen.

You don't need to have access to intelligence before admitting Buhari's failure concerning herdsmen killings. Neither do you need Security Intelligence before understanding that the President was wrong to have made such comments in London. By implication, he has admitted his failure in protecting Nigerians against external aggressors.

Or worst still, we can accuse him of complicity in the herdsmen killings across Nigeria.

Have you forgotten the "go and accommodate your fellow countrymen" statement he made to Benue leaders? He has been shooting himself in the foot back to back: They are foreigners. Cattle colony. Grazing routes. Do not retaliate herdsmen killings. Accommodate the killers. And a host of other blunders.

For him to have made that assertion in London is highly disgraceful!

It can be concluded that the President is not showing any sign of sincerity in tackling this issue of of herdsmen.

There is absolutely no meaning in coming up with different reasons and explanations without taking bold and appropriate steps to flush out these terrorists out of Nigeria. There is sympathy on the part of foreign herdsmen!

GoodGovernance:
Thank you!

Just like riches,not every body can be intelligent.

But he has not said anything meaningful! I am trying to reply him but it is not posting. I don't know why. Watch for my response to him.

maasoap:
There are Nigerians (herdsmen) among the killers. Most especially when it has to do with retaliatory attacks.

maasoap. I appreciate your time.

See, it is totally wrong for Buhari to have made such comments on herdsmen killings across Nigeria. It is totally unacceptable!

The primary duty of the President as the C-in-C is to protect the territorial integrity of the country.

If the herdsmen are foreigners, then one would expect the President to carry out his Constitutionally assigned responsibilities through the Nigeria Military.

Don't you agree with me?

maasoap:
That small arms and proliferation didn't spike after the fall of Gaddafi?

First of all, thanks for replying.

Of course they did. That's true.

However, are you comfortable with Buhari's position that the herdsmen killing people in Nigeria are 'foreigners'?

Doyin2:
Honestly,I feel you.

I have been forced to read the statements all over again for about 15 times.

My conclusion is in tandem with Adeshina.

I would not be surprised to hear some mentally challenged guys implying that Adeshina said ALL NIGERIANS ARE. INTELLECTUALLY LAZY.

Whereas he was only referring to those mischief makers and those that allowed their senses to be hijacked.

The social media has been hijacked by well paid INFLUENCERS .Their job is to cause confusion on the I internet,to suit the interests of their paymaster.

Indeed it is a wasted generation.

Please, let me ask you a question. Do you ACTUALLY agree with the President's assertion in London?

Is either there is evil in Aso Rock or a particular group of people are just plain stupid.

I can't bring myself to believe that a 'sane' person will still be defending the shame currently occupying Aso Rock. Or is Femi Adesina insane?

This is what is happening in Benue, Plateau, Kaduna, Taraba, and other States across Nigeria.

Fulani herdsmen are carrying out a well orchestrated campaign of genocide against indigenous ethnic groups so as to take over their ancestral lands.

Educative! Thanks Op.

gentlemayor:
...well if you ask me, out of the 12million in the bank, 10million had been withdrawn consciously or unconsciously. You can do the calculation and tell me the balance.

Thank you!

Exactly!
I was even generous by reducing the votes to half in my previous comment.

On a very serious note, that Fidelis Unongo is from where? Is he not from Benue State?

kagari:
You guys should work with me on this thread

And winning Ben Bruce either covertly or overtly to your team, he might not have political might but has a good media might, good thing he is on the opposition

I got a master plan

Sincerely, you got a very brilliant point concerning Senator Ben Bruce.

Now, Lagos Press will be divided. But Port Harcourt Press will be united in opposition. In every election, the Media always play a key role.

Sowore is intelligent.
Those who are still holding the view that Buhari has 12 million votes on standby are living in great delusion.

In the previous elections, a lot of people were voting him with the erroneous assumption that he will perform creditably. But alas, he has failed woefully. Talk about the killing of the Shi'ites by the Army. Talk about the killing of farmers and other villagers by Fulani herdsmen. And a host of other disappointments.

There is just no way he will score even half of the purported 12 million votes. The President's handlers are really joking by taking Nigerians for granted. They will see the greatest shock of their lives.

About 90% of Northern Senators are not fit to be in the Senate. Fact!

A huge embarrassment and disgrace to democracy and governance. Talk of Cow Mentality.

Herdsmen killings will soon follow.

I have come across this on FB. The Member of House of Representatives is seen kneeling down to show his gratitude to his constituency.

We are in trouble in this country.

Very valid points raised here. Anyway, confession or not, he is going back to his village.

sweetgala:
All your posting is just poor conclusions and hearsay laced in sentiments, there is little rational I wouldn't bother responding to each of your points because sure you are well aware most of them have no backing.

There is wild incompetence in Nigeria that is fact, the FG on its bid to give an answer even if inaccurate claimed the conflict is to do with farmer herdsmen and have failed in their duty in protecting the nation.
We are under neo invasion from the millions of Fula tribes who have suffered the consequences of global warming forcing them south, the political instability in Libya coupled with the militancy of BH has provided the catalyst for movement of tribesmen from thrse areas.

CIA documents and recent confirmed circulation by captured Isis fighters have confirmed that the main body and leadership structure of ISIS have moved from Syria and Iraq to Libya.

These vagabonds have been attacking all the Northern states for decades now from kebbi and Katsina south to Taraba and Adamawa onwards to Bornu; the plateau and Benue is just a relatively new development.

The IGP gaffed when he said the conflict was just "ethnic clashes" he was just demonstrating his incompetence and lack of answers

The miyheti Allah are infact different groups some are in support of the cattle ranching while others are opposed to it, I've never been proven that they have any real association with the militia killing I've heard reports that these killers are mercenaries who do the bidding of the miyheti Allah but then one has to factor in the fact many members of miyheti have been victims for the violence either with cattle rustlers or mass ethnic murder.

The fact remains the FG has failed to deliver security as it's their duty,the nation has a weak police force an overstretched army and a extremely poor intelligence agency

Initially, I decided not to respond to this post. But silence in this case may be misconstrued.

Firstly, all the points I raised in my previous post are very valid points with clear and abundant evidence to back them up. A simple Google search would have allowed you to check the veracity or otherwise of my points rather than describing them the way you did in your opening statement.

Secondly, not everyone is easily swayed by irrelevant cum illogical claims. Let me tell you clearly here, nobody is a fool. And you people are making a silly mistake by thinking you will be able to win any form of sympathy for the murderous and criminal herdsmen, by trying to absolve them of the killings and other acts of crimes.

Thirdly, the argument that the herdsmen responsible for the killings across Nigeria are 'foreigners' is completely daft and as stupid as it sounds.

If Nigeria has been invaded by 'foreign' mercenaries as the President and you folks always claim, then:-

1. What is stopping the President from exercising his constitutional responsibilities by ordering the Military to flush out these terrorist bastards out of our territory?

2. What is preventing him from directing the Military to safeguard the territorial integrity of our country?

3. Why should the President be in the fore front of advocating that we accommodate 'foreign' herdsmen? Is it because they are 'Fula tribes' as you have stated above?

4. Why advocate for grazing routes and cattle colonies for 'foreigners' here in Nigeria as 'the only practicable solution' to the herdsmen madness?

Whatever sense you think you are making here by talking about CIA confirming the presence of ISIS or whatever is pure nonsense. It is completely illogical. It is a clear indictment on the part of the Buhari led FG and the Security Agencies all headed by his folks.

Else, it is a clear case of incompetence.

The truth we have crystallized so far is that, Buhari is incompetent, clueless and wicked.

Good! Serves him right.

Good.

kimjongJezebel:
Hell Rufai, so you and Buhari have been paying Malians and Libyans not to kill Nigerians? That is an obvious indictment on the government. I can't believe a governor can say this


Foreigners, as the government claimed, invade your country, kill your people, instead of the government to carry out its constitutional duties through the Military as in this instance , you decide to pay them and give them free pass. What type of people are these?

Good comment my dear. This man and his likes are not fit to be called humans. Their brains are full of cow milk. Hence, they have cow mentality. This is the kind of mess we are in.

Buhari will be defeated come next year. He will suffer so much shame. Mark my words.

There is another thing I would like to say but I will hold down. Time shall tell.

trillville:
How old was Joseph ( Yusuf ) when the Almighty made him governor of Egypt? 32. Tribalism did not affect him. Lack of major party did not affect him. Inexperience in governance did not affect him.

Exactly!!!

You are very correct!

The problem with most youth is lack of faith. Negative thinking is bad.

Anybody here with updates on the Hand Shakes Across the Niger?

The North were completely rattled by this initiative. It should be sustained.

Please, SE, SS and SW should unite no matter what, and court some parts of MB into an alliance. We have to get it right next year.

trillville:
How old is Sowore? 47 years

How old is Fasau? 46 or 47

How old is Durotoye? At least 45.

These are not boys but men. Our president is 75. He was head of state at 41. All we are saying is generational shift.


As for your fetish concerns, there is no god greater than the Almighty. Even without praying to Him, what He says will be, will be. He is the beginning and the end, the Almighty that whoever puts his/her trust in Him shall find comfort. Leave the spiritual matter to God Almighty.

God did not remove power from PDP by mistake. He did not bring Buhari into power the only times in Nigerias history that recessions were eminent. He is in control of our destiny. All you need to do is support a youthful candidate. Shikena

Good comment!

I like your faith.

Indeed, The Almighty is the Creator of the universe. And all power belongs to Him.

All that is needed is a united South in alliance with some parts of the MB.
And the old cargo will be sent packing out of Aso Rock.
Those singing his praises should prepare for the greatest shock of their lives.

And the killings continue while he is talking nonsense in London.

Goliath was not using AK-47!

Are we sure this man is well?

Thanks Op.

Not good at all.

If I am not afraid of NL why will I be afraid of FB? I will continue to post.
