Fulani man.

What is this nonsense you are talking?

Why are your foreign brothers not confronted by the Nigerian military since they are the ones saddled with protecting the territorial integrity of the country?

Is this not a declaration of war on Nigeria?

Why did the Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces not declare war on them since they are clearly a foreign occupation of the country he is governing?

Why are the Nigerian intelligence unit allowing them to rein free and murder people at will?

Usman212s:
May God prevent the Fulani's from the evil mischievous elements. Every wicked plan against them shall fail

Amen!

And may the evil and occultic machinations of the Fulani over innocent people's lives be destroyed by the Almighty God.

Benue leaders should constitute themselves into formidable pressure group and get these guys out of custody ASAP.

Get your lawyers out en mass to defend these guys immediately, that's the reason they studied law.

Precedence is already set.

Buhari went to challenge a sitting governor in 2000 over communal clash.

Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso has been going round the country effecting the release of his Fulani people whenever they are arrested.

Nigeria belongs to everyone.

Governor Ortom or whatever you are called, provide leadership for your people and stop crying like a woman up and down.

docadams:
Op, what is the difference between grazing reserves and grazing colonies. There are hard options before us. I dislike people who suffereth convulsion resulting from criiticism borne out of hate but can't even proffer a solution.

What is the meaning of hard options?

Fulani are being encouraged to buy land from communities and set-up their ranches as done in this 21st century.

Do you know what ranches are?

How hard can that be?

Must Buhari necessarily seize people's land and hand over to his Fulani relations because he is president today?

The greatest lesson some of us have learnt in this whole episode is never to underestimate the stupidity of so-called intellectuals.

1nigeriamyfoot:
Buhari bad policy affected all business owners in negative ways.

Op lost his job due to Buhari bad policy

Company cant compensate him well due to buhari bad policy that affect the finance of that company

Power Supply is worst due to buhari bad policy for giving the job of engineer to lawyer

op is not making good sales due to buhari bad administration because many cannot feed well not to talk of giving their cloth to dry cleaners for washing

BUHARI IS A DISASTER

Most Buhari supporters are extreme sadists as you can see from the guy you quoted.

They have hatred for people making a living.

Any idea of a successful endeavor repulses them.

Their god came and ruined Nigerians livelihood and you would think it will satisfy them but no, they are still not happy.

This guy's kind of predicament as he claims energizes the sadism neurons in many of them.

Buhari send your people to school to learn how to breed better cattle in the 21st century.

You have the instrument of office now, use it now before it is too late.

If you come up with a policy that gives Fulani incentives to get education as you gave your children education in the UK, not many intelligent people would complain too much.

Stop your people from trampling on people's farmlands and butchering them like goat.

Assist your people.

Among them are potential veterinary doctors, Olympic medal winners in long distance race, hatchers, geographers, astronomers etc.

Empower them.

Cattle rearing is not the only profession in the world.

And there are better ways of breeding cattle these days.

Instead of encouraging them to continue rearing cow in the bushes and getting farmers killed everywhere, give them education.

They will figure out how to breed better cow.

Hide and skin production would create/revive leather business in Kano. Who knows, the city could even attract Italian shoe makers.

Some of them might specialize in research on boosting of milk production, meat quality etc.

Cattle can be traded in futures market at commodity exchanges.

They would become richer.

They will know how to talk to bankers and sign credit facility deals.

Fulani people will stop the nonsensical idea of seeing cows as reason for their existence.

They will learn how to see cows as a commodity, a product.

The concept of risk and returns would make meanings to them.

You too could learn one or two ways of "making money"; ability of which you earlier confessed you lacked.

You people have dragged Nigeria backward for too long because of cows.

They are merely playing with words.

Cattle colonies and grazing reserves are not different.

Veetee:
The other 'leaders can never be united as the fulanis, these people are bound by their religious beliefs, its like a cult thing, their god, 'allah' is a blood thirsty god, well i wish i could say more....

This is bizarre.

Those "leaders" are just useless.

Do you need any religion to protect or defend yourself physically?

This should be as basic as nature exists.

Even bacteria collaborate among themselves for self defense.

What if there's flood or earthquake threatening their existence, would they be talking of religion?

There is no religion that is against protecting oneself from existential threat.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, special about Fulani, we just cannot overcome our proclivity to indulge them by allowing them to get away with multiple atrocities without challenge, and telling ourselves how "omnipotent" they are.

They are not more religious or "cultic" than any tribe in Nigeria.

Most of these villages in Benue have one or more "deities" that they claim they worship, and into which they claim they have "initiated" their young men, as a defense/military force.

Why is it difficult to put them into the use for which they have been inducted.

We read about how the people of Nasarrawa (Ombatshe) put a stiff resistance to a massive "invasion" of their homestead not long ago.

Why are Benue people allowing their defenseless people massacred for this long without resistance?

Are they goats?

Below is an account of self-defense in the Bible

Nehemiah 4:7-23

7 But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the people of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry.

8 They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it.

9 But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.

10 Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, “The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.”

11 Also our enemies said, “Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.”

12 Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”

13 Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.

14 After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”

15 When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.

16 From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah

17 who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, 18 and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me.

19 Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall.

20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!”

21 So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out.

22 At that time I also said to the people, “Have every man and his helper stay inside Jerusalem at night, so they can serve us as guards by night and as workers by day.”

23 Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water.

They prayed.

Their leader reassured/emboldened them.

They used their intelligence network to get into the Arabs' violent plans (counter-intelligence).

They stationed sentries to alert them of invasion.

They reinforced their rank and file.

They posted troops to guard their workers.

They built their wall.

They didn't let down their guards even when they went drinking water.

What kind of question is this?

With all this evidence at the disposal of the so-called South West APC leaders, they still went ahead and mobilized for Buhari.

The only obvious reason is self aggrandizement.

Shame!

sarrki:
Boss the thing tire me oooo

I swear

A very BIG shame on you.

What are the leaders in the other communities doing?

Don't they have people in the military, police, civil service, intelligence, banks, insurance, big corporations?

What are the duties of their senators, governors, importers, exporters, ministers, oil well owners, lecturers, vice chancellors and ministers?

Why can't they collaborate the same way?

Who stops them from organizing themselves to counter these OCCULTIC attacks?

Why are the Fulani leaders the only ones looking after the welfare of their people?

Why are the other "leaders" not showing responsibility to their own people?

seunmsg:
There is already an anti open grazing law in Benue state similar to what Fayose enacted in Ekiti state. Implementing the law by the law enforcement agencies is however the problem. This is why state police is inevitable in Nigeria. Governors make laws for the peace and security of their States without having the means to enforce the laws. This are the kind of issues that the call for restructuring should address. In the interim, I will advice the governor to raise and arm a local militia group to meet force with force. Any Fulani herdsmen seen with arms or suspected to be part of the killing gang should be shot at sight.

The president must also stop his pretentious stand and address this issue of criminal herdsmen once and for all. The killings are too much and the presidents silence and inaction is no longer tolerable. The military should be deployed to the state to fish out the criminal herdsmen who are commuting genocide in Benue, Taraba, Kaduna and Adamawa state. Buhari should be bold enough to be the president of Nigeria and not the president of Fulani people alone.

Buhari is no longer your president?

Guestlander:
How dumb can some of you be? If the subject matter is Lagos people like you will be hyperventilating on one Nigeria and why every resident should be regarded as an indigen.
There's a serious problem with the Nigerian federation, people who pretend there's no problem with the structure are merely fooling themselves.

Mr. Lagos, what exactly is this incoherent fatuous comment about?

You don't abuse Tramadol, do you?

This is what Buhari meant when he asked others to 'internalize' Yoruba culture. Many didn't realize it was the most patronising statement.

Mr. Oshinbajo, STOP THE KILLINGS and prosecute the killers!

HtwoOw:
Letting themselves get used

I understand 6.Something Billion paris club fund is a lot of money , but Industrial action won't force Aregbe to pay

What these people need is a lot of education, not cheap propaganda from PDP ( Yes, PDP) i have been to their meetings and i have heard the disgusting things they tell old and young and the seed of hate they planting around is germinating really fast

Aregbe should find a means to resolve this amicably , but being realistic 27 months arrears is very impossible to collect at once

Deuteronomy 24:14-15

"You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your countrymen or one of your aliens who is in your land in your towns.

"You shall give him his wages on his day before the sun sets, for he is poor and sets his heart on it; so that he will not cry against you to the LORD and it become sin in you.


Leviticus 19:13

'You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired man are not to remain with you all night until morning.

Malachi 3:5

"Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the alien and do not fear Me," says the LORD of hosts.

James 5:4

Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabbath.


Jeremiah 22:13

"Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness. And his upper rooms without justice, Who uses his neighbor's services without pay And does not give him his wages.

Buhari has destroyed Nigeria's institutions almost beyond repairs.

Anyone taking over will certainly have to begin afresh.

Ovamboland:
As if we don't know where most of the overhead money ends up. Many never learnt how to live within their normal income. Someone earning 100k monthly salary buys a 7 million naira car and pays tuition for two children in a private university. Where's the fund coming from?

This is the kind of comment that prevents people from making any meaningful personal achievement in life.

When you are personally dissatisfied with life, other people's progress become repulsive to you.

You begin to exhibit extreme resentful character erroneously portrayed as virtuous.

Reports like this, about shutting down of government because of Buhari's gross inefficiency, will suddenly become a weapon to attack innocent civil servants' children schooling in private schools even though it clearly states that the monies are for electricity bill and security personnel's emoluments.

Nigeria does not need any parliamentary system of government.

What Nigeria needs is a good electoral system.

Parliamentary system works well where people cherish the principles of consensus building and give and take.

Nigeria is too disorderly for such a system.

Nigerians are cannot trust each other.

There is no region that can survive this system.

Imagine for a second if Nigeria were Germany where the Chancellor is still struggling to form her government after several months of election. (Note - this is not the same as Buhari taking eternity to appoint ordinary ministers.)

Italy and Japan were practically changing prime ministers every 1 or 2 years in the recent past.

Imagine the chaos and the level of instability that would have caused the Nigeria's economy.

And it is not that Nigeria has not practiced it before.

Parliamentary system was what our founding fathers started with in the 1960s shortly after Independence.

It failed woefully.

The military simply took advantage of lack of cohesion to stage their coup d'etat which led to us where we are now.

Nigerian politicians are even more unruly now than they were in those days.

The country itself is just too fragmented now, more than at any time in our history.

How would the APC have functioned in a parliamentary system with their disjointed structure where everyone is the lord?

You can argue for eternity about the cost of running a presidential system, it won't change anything. It is not that the parliamentary system too would be entirely free of costs.

Moreover, it is doubtful if there are verifiable scientific evidence (published researches/studies) supporting the assertion.

Much of the argument on cost reductions have been purely conjectures at best and wishful thinking at worst.

Nigeria needs strong electoral system and this presidential system would just be fine.

This is the 18th straight year we have been on it.

One of the main problems right now is that the traditional watchdogs - the civil society and the media - are not effective with holding Buhari to account on many fronts.

They seem to be struggling with playing their role in the age of new media or they have been bought or cowed into submission.

The Nigeria's media and the intelligentsia were most feared and indeed respected across the world.

Until they fell into Buhari and his government's spell by helping to dish out lies and demonic propaganda - becoming accomplices in disparaging people's characters.

how come they bear Muslim names?

How is Yakubu a Muslim name?

Kinni gbogbo kantan kantan bayi tori Olorun?

Why is this man deliberately destroying his own public service career?

psucc:
Nobody cares because those who used to ferment trouble are now in power.

They were successful at packaging mediocrity and A-list failures to brainwash their hapless followers.

Yupng:
It will remain business as usual, not until the people standup and say NO. They recycle themselves and portion the government among themselves and no wonder someone like Atiku thinks he is fit to lead.

The only way a viable change can emerge is if the system is disrupted. A sudden change hitting the statuesque. The people are still sleeping, when we awake, the glory of our nation will light up.

Another disruption?

What other form of sudden change are you advocating than the total, evil, backward change already experienced?

ashjay001:
Into d federation acct, as earnings from oil. Creating a special acct for it, needs a bill passed by d nass.



Thats why gej was taken to court by amaechi n co then. It should be shared with other govt revenue, not designated as special.

And the Sovereign Wealth Fund that was established by an act of parliament?

Is that not one of the issues the Sovereign Wealth Fund is meant to address?

Nigerians just use their own hands to waste four years of their lives.

Plague

SouthEastFacts:
Buhari just handed a strong propaganda tool to IPOB. If they play their games well, which we all know they are good at, then we are in trouble.

As the biggest black nation and leader of a coalition of 16 countries (ECOWAS), Nigeria is a country US can't just ignore, by going against US, Nigeria just placed herself under US radar.

The aid is not even a problem, there are about 8 cases at the ICC against our FG bothering on genocides and human right violations.

Buhari pledged his total support for the Palestinian State with Jerusalem as the capital more than one year ago.

Nigeria’s President Buhari declares total support for Palestinian State

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/199232-nigerias-president-buhari-declares-total-support-palestinian-state.html

“I want to assure you that we will stand side by side with you, until our brothers and sisters in Palestine achieve their desired objectives,” he said.

“Our support for various Security Council resolutions restoring and respecting 1967 boundaries with Jerusalem as capital of Palestine is firm and unshaken.”

Efewestern:
Used Gods people because that's what most of you call Jews...

You that's is more educated on the subject matter should have known that east Jerusalem belongs to Palestine and it is unfair for someone else to occupy another mans territory ... but no.. you just want to argue and argue.. it changes nada , Nobody recognizes Jerusalem as isreal's capital, ouch I know it really hurts seeing your mighty isreal being rejected by Every nation of the world.

People are wise now.. and am happy for Nigeria and Other African Nations, we know what it means to be oppressed in your own land.

All through our discussion you couldn't even provide any reasonable prove to show that isreal own the entire Jerusalem.. lol.. you actually have nothing to prove. lol

Enjoy your night bro and happy Christmas in advance. . .

Modified : you keep stressing on the capital, am talking about someone land this was taken forcefully.

Are we in the same world?

President Donald Trump just recognized the same Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and is moving the US embassy there.

Isn't that what led to the whole discussion?

You are confusing yourself.

Who took whose "land forcefully"?

You earlier claimed that Jews were defeated and fled only to come back and reclaim the land they fled from.

What other proof do you seek than what you claimed in your own posts?

Are you now recanting? Make up your mind.

Or is that your own proof that the Arabs "own" the East Jerusalem?

East Jerusalem was under the British Mandate left in 1947 which the Jews declared their nation afterwards. (Jordan temporarily seized it after the British left while Israel took it back in the 1967 war)

African countries' UN votes or opinions count for nothing.

The same UN voted for homosexuality which was completely ignored by many African countries.

Or what is do you think the effect of the vote would be, other than for political mastubatory purposes?

Many Arabs countries rely on Israel for many things, including security and agriculture. Nigeria itself relies on Israel in many ways.

Efewestern:
Am glad you finally acknowledged the fact that Isreal are claiming someone else property..

yea I accepted the reality on ground, and I just discovered people will defend evil provided they are "Gods people" , .

I just hope one day some Arab niggas won't evacuate you and your people from your village citing some religious text as prove...

cheers.

What you should do is to get properly educated on the subject matter and quit being emotional.

Your retorts ("defend evil" "God's people" "Arab niggas" ) may appeal to emotionally unstable minds, but they don't change the fact. Things are discussed based on their individual merit subject to available facts.

Israel and the Palestinian Arabs must live side by side.

Arabs must accept that Jewish people have the right to live in Israel, their homeland.

Jordan, Syria and Egypt that suffered terrible defeat in their attempt to destroy Israel are wiser to negotiate the peaceful return of their territories captured during the ill-fated battles with Israel.

The UN should face reality and stop deceiving the Palestinian Arabs. East Jerusalem will not be their capital. It is currently under the control of Israel.

It does not make sense for a single CITY to serve as the capital of two separate/different countries.

There is no country in the world that is under the UN dictate concerning their capital city.
