You must be a terrorist.
Who gives you right to hold a gun and fight terrorists when you aren't a military personnel, a vigilantee or a licensed gun holder.
If you even do such, when you hear about this news, then you put away your weapons because the government has taken control.
Just keep quiet, I know this Buhari has badluck in his DNA but this order isn't wrong or biased.

The Statement should be kill those who perpetuated the crime. In such a volatile region with armed militia murdering their people with little or no security. The only way to stay alive is to protect yourself with illegal weapons, since the government will not license weapons for the masses to protect themselves.

This looks like an order for the military to finish the job. From the look of it, there were resistance.

If Buhari does not know that he is to go after those who committed the crime, then he is part of the problem.

You supporting his words is also a part of the problem.

well, in as much as i am an igbo person and desire to see the good of my people, i am human too and others need to stay alive. one good thing i can assure you is that ever man that spils blood will not go scot free. and aal the bloods beign spilled are crying for vengance. when God wants to fast tract the destruction of a place their are certain things that begins to happen, first those praying for that land stops for one reason or the other. secondly they increase in their wickedness most especially killing of the innocent . the land is full of blood and that is a righteous reason to judge nigeria. This country will surely divide no matter what any body does.
Do you know what benue foot soldier did to igbos in Biafra war ?
What if they're receiving the vengance of Igbos bloods spilled in 1967.

Igbos now carrying and killing them self's for them ... So benue people don't have mouth to carry to there former partners.

ESN should accept responsibility of insecurity in SE and also the killing of innocent people in SE.

I respect your opinion but you have to understand that the perpetuators are also illegal weapon holders.

There's a reason why the community or local government elected a chairman, he has the complete right to inform the military or police about the situation on ground and the commanding officers would send troops to ensure peace in that vicinity.

They didn't join the police force or military to sit at the barracks or stations.

I understand that a man needs to protect his family from any impending danger but if the civilians come out to protect themselves and fight the terrorists, what if they are overpowered, think about it, you will still come out to blame the government for not send soldiers or policemen who are trained to counter terrorism.

Who did you inform about the massacre that's happening. If the local government and community chairmen cannot do their jobs, then they should be impeached and removed from seats.

Buhari knows about the massacre. That is why his statement should be against those who committed the crime. But he said illegal weapon holders. Which means even those who must protect themselves or die.

You said what if they are overpowered? The answer is, it is better they are overpowered that pose little to no resistance in any way.

Buhari is very wrong here.

You can go on blaming Buhari.
I actually care less about him because he's not any better.

But you should understand here that the immediate problem escalators are the local government and community chairmen who couldn't inform the right authorities on time.

I do not know about that vicinity but in the town where I live, two communities were fighting over who own the main market, there was bloodshed and about 11 persons were killed in daylight and the King, Elders and local government chairman kept mute because they had shares from the proceeds of the taxes collected from sellers at the market.

The news actually went online before the state government knew about it and troops were sent to safeguard citizens.

You are delusional. Eventually, these Fulani Herdsmen will begin to come to your house knocking on your door and kidnapping you from your homes. Some of you have no idea of what is coming your way.

An empty order from Mr Humpty Dumpty


The interpretation of this message by all security formations is "kill whoever is trying to retaliate or stop this onslaught been perpetuated by my kinsmen".

What baffles me is that, has the number of other tribesmen so decimated at the upper echelons the Nigerian armed forces and Police, that everyone of them stands akimbo and watch this carnage happen in their states? Or is it that the Fulani soldiers and police dominates these flashpoint States? Because I have it on good authority that they tactically withdraws or watch it happen, as if providing cover for these terrorists.
I think that Plateau had a large number of Generals in the army. Can they fold their arms and see their people killed like chickens?

No, ESN cannot accept the responsibility for the insecurities in the SE, are you going to blame them for the activities of people like Abba Kyari and James nwafor? or all the kidnappings of our youth by the army and other security agents? unknown gunmen, are they not security agents?

South East was peaceful till ESN came in..
Ipob propaganda that Fulani headsman hiding in our Forest waiting for order to start killing people.

After the creation of ESN where did they have gun battle with the so call fulani in the forest?

Have they catch any criminal?

They end up killing security personnel stating they don't want many chack point anywhere in SE.

They also did prison break.. some of those criminal are now taking advantage of insecurity in the SE.

In all this ...who do you we blame?
