The FG has been inept in handling this crisis but hearing Ortom say he wrote letters is just annoying. So in 6 months he could not see either the VP personally or the president that he kept on writing letters?

Go and re-read the article. He said that, in addition to writing the President, he also went to meet him in person and informed him of the threat.
I only blame him for being naive and not realizing that Buhari, a tribalist, will actually support his Fulani terrorists to attack. He should not have disarmed his people. I hope he is wiser now.

desreek9:
I expected unity in everything south south but no they must fight each other, why cant they emulate south west such that even if there is any disagreement, they will settle it amicably without blowing it out of proportion.

Which one is protest again

Like the amicable settlement between Ile-Ife and Modakeke, right?
Human relationship is not easy. Let them vent as long as they don't get violent.

olylove:
Dats a normal thing up North... When there's a religious crises, na your friends go lead them come ur house

Yep. Very normal up there. People need to go read Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda. Usually it would be the person's best friend that would lead killers to come wipe out the family.

ODVanguard:
I don't know why we are still deceiving ourselves in this country when the solution is staring us all right in the face: SPLIT THE DAMN THING make everybody go bear their papa name! This herdmen atrocities and reprisal attacks didn't just start today but has been ongoing for decades -- dem even carry am enter Ghana. With the likes of Sanusi, Sultan, Buhari, and hell-Rufai as herdsmen patrons, it is now obvious why they continue getting away with their criminal acts.

With restructuring, most of our problems, including security issues, would be taken care of. Splitting is not the best option. We should push for restructuring. The 2019 election should be decided on a candidate's willingness to restructure.

AsiwajuNdigbo:
To my brothers lets learn lesson her. Listen to how elites in North brag about their support for a terrorist group. We have always wondered where and how fulani get Ak47. Now that source has identified itself. We wonder why police and army give them tactical support. Now we know who is behind it.

God will punish those in SE that sold Kanu and brought shame and demolition on Ipob. We have no sense at all in Igboland. Lets learn from hereon. Shield our militants and speak in their favor

You are wrong on Kanu and IPOB. The SE Governors did the right thing. We don't want to end up like the NE. The Northern elites thought they were being smart by supporting Boko Haram. You can now see they were smart by half.

AFONJAPIG:
hmmmmm but why did they vote for him in the first place... the Zone-B they think nah only them wicked

It was because of ignorance and naivety, of course. The bigot Buhari is adept at deceit. He deceived a lot of people.

AFONJAPIG:
this is the change they wanted so much in 2015, so let them gave it in full... meanwhile I will vote for Buhari I'm 2019 , it will be a pay back time, they think nah only them wicked the useless old dullard will continue to nonsense he started

Please don't. Buhari is not fit for the position. Nigeria will not survive another 4years of him.

okosodo:
Benue has been captured

Not yet. They still have a fighting chance.

So the visitors are the overlords in Benue? The indigenes now have to dress to the approval of the visitors to be safe in their own towns? I hope the morons that are spreading the welcome mats for the Fulanis are watching.
Buhari can go to hell with his cattle grazing routes.

sarrki:
Seriously Baba faiws on security issues

Seriously

I can't support him on this

Children are orphans now

You can't support him on this? So which ones are you supporting him on? It looks like you have not completely seen the light. No patriotic Nigerian should be supporting a bigot and incompetent like Buhari. Unless you wish Nigeria ill.

HungerBAD:
Exactly.

This is the kind of "ORDER" our Weak President should have given to the Military and Police a long time ago.

I do not support violence in anyway.

No one. I repeat, no one has the monopoly of violence and I advice the people of Benue or elsewhere to not just sit and wait for the next Fulani attack.

You take the fight to them.

Why are the Fulani's not trying this rubbish in the core Niger Delta? Just look at the pictures of dead babies and women I keep seeing from Benue and Taraba.

Buhari you are a weak leader and a very big disappointment at that.

Freaking Moro.n

Modified: Nobody hacked my acct. The pictures of dead children and women eventually got to me. You do not go around killing innocent people for nothing.

I blame the people of Benue,Taraba and Adamawa for this.

If Nigeria wan divide make it divide sef wetin?which kind rubbish be this?why Fulani Herdsmen go dey slaughter people like this?I just dey pissed off.

Welcome to the rational and patriotic side. Buhari does not have the interest of Nigeria at heart. He is a tribalist and is not fit to be President of a diverse country like Nigeria. He should be voted out in 2019.

Myketuale:
Yes u are right!
But make them no cum arrest am d way they arrested apostle Suleiman..

They can't do anything. If they invite him, he will go and lecture them on the right to self defense.

LBanks:
One idiot called Omenkalives from Benue state in instead opening a thread to spite on Igbo's who have been living peacefully in Benue state with them, as if he doesn't know who their real enemies are

Don't mind the cowardly fool.

Thank you Pastor for the clarification of our right to self defense with bible verses. Individual Nigerians and the State governments should assert that right. This clears any doubts.

longlong:
We need to wake up ,this politicians don't care about us,only their political ambitions.if you stay in Benue you will understand.this killing have been going on for so long .the media neglected it ,now opposition are using it as a tool to fight for the coning election.we have been crying hear in Benue,from agatue to tiv .why is the media just carrying it.even that jar head drone ortom ,has his house destroyed by them some months or years back.he is now crying on tv. I just pray we start thinking in this country
What we need right now is a military rule.democracy has not favoured us at all

It is military rule that got us to the mess we are in. No more military for us. If this was military government, Buhari and the Fulani herdsmen will just go ahead and establish the cattle grazing routes without any challenge. Democracy is the way to go. But we have to use our votes to get the government we want. In 2019, vote wisely.

What the Fulani herdsmen are doing should be a reason to hasten up with the restructuring of the country. This would enable the States to better organize an effective security outfit.
The Middlebelt should wake up and join with the SE, SS, and SW and move for restructuring. If we are serious, we should have the number to override Buhari veto.

Oxalic:
Middle Belt politicians are failing us. They are nothing but a complete bunch of selfish cowards.

You can only bring about the change you want through the appropriate use of your voter's card. It's the voters I blame for how politicians are running things (not the politicians themselves). The politicians do not vote themselves into power; the people do.
You always have a choice. Take responsibility for your action.

Julivas:
I become a little bit scared reading through the qualities of the Fulanis in the copied message below.Now l am worried:

From the Diary of Sir Lord Luggard.

The Fulani people are ascetic, kind and generous BUT Never fight a war (hot or cold) with the Fulani. Because they have :

1. No rules of engagement
(they just hit again and again)

2. No POW's (they don't take prisoners)

3. No mercy (once they pick you out as the enemy)

4. No fighting fatigue (they are forever fit and prepared, due to their lifestyle)

5. No need for adequate provisions &permanent abode (they live on very little and sleep in the wilderness)

6. No end to hostilities (they fight to finish)

7. No ignorance of terrain and location ( their lifestyle makes everyone of them a human GPS )

8. No deterrence due to casualties (they are strategically distributed all over West and Central Africa, and highly mobile)

9. No need for tranquility (they have no permanent settlements which need peace to thrive)

10. No fear of consequences.

If it is true as above, you don't need a prophet or a Nostradamus to tell you that any Southern territory that harbours the grazing field will sooner or later be conquered as spoils of war for the Fulanis like the Ilorin people. Sooner or later our Kabiyesi will change title to Emir.Haaaaa! Koju ma ri'bi gbogbo Ara logun e.
It is better for our leaders in the Yoruba race to look beyond now. The society is a cooperative venture in which every one is self-interested(Not selfish), equality , fairness,Justice, equality in distribution of resources and social services.
What the Fulanis could not achieve in 19th century,they are now working around the corridors of power to achieve.These Killing around the country by the Fulanis herdsmen must stop! Anybody can fall victim of these rampaging herdsmen any time. I think Ekiti has done well in this regard.We must be watchful and prayerful.

You are on point.

godofuck231:
. Wait o, whose leading this northern forum of blind people?

Their (ceremonial) leaders are usually from the Middlebelt or Christian minority part of the North. You can see the name of the spokesman, Tony. Paul Unongo leading the Northern Elders Forum.
I give it to the Fulani and their native intelligence. They may not parade academic degrees, but they have superior intelligence as compared to the noise making Southerners. That is why they run things in this country.
They put up these fools with Christian or Southern names with no real power. Meanwhile, the real power brokers are in the background quietly pressing the buttons.

Inioluwa01:
Fayose may be loud-mouthed but I have to agree with him on this one. This endorsement is coming at a time when there are killings here and there in several parts of the Country, with her citizens still battling the gruelling effects of fuel scarcity and price hike and several other ills bedevilling the Country. It is only but inhumane to at that particular time, endorse someone who ideally, should be at the forefront of the war against these ills but sadly, isn't, at least for now. I DON'T weep for this Country, rather I weep for the common man in the Country.
N.B: I am pro-Buhari but the truth has to be said. Peace out!

You are pro-Buhari and yet railing against him. When it is the turn of your community to experience what the Benue community suffered, I hope you will come to proudly tell us that you are pro-Buhari. Move over please.

This is obviously, an extrajudicial killing by the Army and should not be allowed. When Amnesty International accuse them, they will deny.
Nigeria is really a 'shit hole' according to Donald Trump.

slurity1:
People calls us names when we voted for radical fayose some years back. Now Nigerians want him as President.

I guess you guys had the foresight that the rest of us didn't have. We learn everyday.

PrecisionFx:
I still don't understand why the Yoruba youth hate n insult this man.

Only the misguided ones, especially the Muslims who are doing eye service so that the Fulani will like them.

lekzyn:
This is a good development but along NTA road at Ado, you will always found cows grazing there during the day and at Ikole, especially Ilumoba, Ijesa-Isu, Isaba axis you will definately found cows. All these cows are own by people like Afe and Alabi of ijesa-isu. It is the rich here at Ekiti that owns these cows. even around to federal poly. here at Ado you will found cows belonging to Afe. Fayose knows those who own these cows at Ekiti here. We Are having Ilorin fulani's all over Ekiti. Am not sentimental but the fact.

Well, call those numbers and inform the authorities to put them on the spot.

Sunmolar:
There are free vacants lands in sambisa forest, they should drive the herdsmen there.

The Fulani herdsmen dare not go there. They are running from the Boko Haram. They also have fear in them.

DeKen:
This guys is so proactive. I won't mind voting him for President.
Imagine we had him as our President, Fulani Herders would have returned to Libya where they came from.

Yep. Fayose is gaining credibility as a potential President of Nigeria. I would not mind voting for a Fayose ticket as President or Vice President.

ola12:
Oda governors shd learn 4rm dis, it shoudnt b so hard to handle dese herdsmen..if not 4 negligence

Not only negligence. Timidity too.

Able and responsible Governor who understands Nigeria and how to roll within it. The naive and clueless ones will be waiting for the Nigeria Police and Fulani Army.
The vulnerable States need to train and arm a vigilante that can handle these Fulani secret Army.

Meajor:
APC failure just dey visible like pregnant woman... Well I don't blame them shebi na dem get the vote of the people.... Just five people with five vote na dem want keep buhari till 2023 ko..... For Buhari case I don repent of my ignorance... I was blind but now I see.... To anyone wey I been push to vote for Buhari, biko forgive me... Na nw I understand wetin dey mean by "The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know"
I'm a repentant sinner. #2019ChangeDChange
God purnish Miyetti Allah

Kudos to you buddy. Buhari should not smell that Presidency in 2019. If Buhari wins second term, then Nigeria is finished; a civil war would probably break out.

loveth361:
Mazi nnamdi kanu ON 12 Oct 2014: The
Fulani will take over the entire
South as a continuation of
their age old agenda to
Islamize Eastern Nigeria. They
will brazenly seize our land in
a pretence of creating grazing
fields for the Fulani. Then the
conquest will be complete; we
will become their slaves
forever.” On 6th Nov 2014:
Between Jonathan and Buhari,
none is good for us. Freedom
remains our only option;
Jonathan is weak and
confused, Buhari is a
bloodthirsty tyrant, who will
destroy the land with his
sectional views. His kinsmen
will take over the military and
the security architecture of
the land. Christians and
Easterners will become
endangered species; He will
use the security apparatus to
advance the agenda of his
ethnic group. My people will
suffer.” On 2nd Dec. 2014:
Then a group deadlier than
Boko Haram will emerge, they
will seize our farmland, rape
our women, kill our people
and their master will protect,
defend and even arm them
because their sole agenda is
to enslave us forever. Those
who cannot see it now will
soon see it. The hatred in their
souls for my people is
legendary. They do not see us
as humans. They kill,
slaughter, burn and destroy.
Mindless bloodletting is in
their DNA. My people are in
trouble.

Did Nnamdi Kanu really say these? He must be a visionary if he did. But he lacked tact in his approach.
