A divided house cannot stand, instead of them unit at this point and face there common enemy and oppressor this is sickening
Talismann:
my friend, it will interest you to know that even the tivs are not united. They even have factions.

For instance, in their town, Gboko, some tivs can't even go to other parts of the town else they may be killed by other tivs.

Funny people

D reverend governor is still clueless

Benue state is blessed with clueless governors
U guys keep blaming governors. Cant u all see that they arent the reason these things happen? The governors due to our constitution dont have much power over security. The security posting, arrangement and execution, intelligence and everything comes from Abuja. And from the look of things, seems these armed men are backed by powerful people in Abuja. There is no solution on sight except the constition is amended to allow for state or regional police. For now, u can have state security but they cant carry certain weapons and they must report and be under police. It makes it useless.
How can small and minority group be killing Nigerians for the past 60 years and everyone is calm? The only way is for the masses to protest o. No other way. The protest should be for demand for state control of police. When states take control of their security fully and borders, they can discharge their duties accordingly. As at now, they cant ban anyone from their state.
I feel so terrible that as a country, Ghana is way better than Nigeria. Pls, make una stop to dey argue about Ghana VS Nigeria. In Ghana, strangers dont go about slaughtering Ghannians each year. It is a capital shame and we claim to be giant of Africa? Like how? U cant even kill Egyptians like this and the government would remain calm. These guys raped women and inserted sticks inside their private parts in Enugu. They slaughtered people in Ebonyi. They have turned Benue to their customer dada. U cant fight back becus u arent allowed to carry gun. If someone should raise the topic in national assembly, u will see northern politicians come for his head. I dont understand. We are talking about human lives here. What is all these?

What is the crime of Benue people against Nigeria?

These people are being wiped out,.and it seems Nigerians are happy about it or perhaps they don't care.

Is Nigerian Army giving tactical support to these Jihardists.

They won't do anything now, but if the people of Benue decided to defend themselves, then the Army start one "Operation Nonsense"..

I am.ashamed.thr be called a Nigerian.

This a nonsensical statement.
Cow rearing, just like motor parts trading, is a private business.
Government shouldn't pamper any particular people, just because they're from a particular tribe.
The Fulanis should source for funds and establish ranches for their personal businesses, just as people from other ttibes are doing.
This kind of entitlement may even be the factor driving these unnecessary massacre of innocent farmers and villagers, and that shouldn't be acceptable.
.the Fulani herdsmen says they do not have money..that it will costs them a lot of money to establish ranches

You are on point.....But Nigerians keep calling Herdsmen.....Do they go about with cows , when attacking people? How do they know that , they are herdsmen?

Stop typing rubbish if you don't know what's up! The herdsmen are the militia group used by the Fulanis to continue Othman Danfodio's vision of expanding Islam through jihads to the remotest part of Nigeria!

I have witnessed their carnage firsthand so I'm very much aware of what's going on

Nigeria is the biggest embarrassment to Africa, the self-acclaimed "giants of Africa" that glorifies a primitive system where a minority ethnic group that contribute absolutely nothing useful to the commonwealth of the country and still terrorizing, dominating and getting away with acts of terror against the indigenous people.
Nigeria is no longer giants of Africa....over 40 decades ago.

Herdsmen with cattles abi? How do you know that , they were herdsmen? Herdsmen this and that .....majority of these attack were carried out by some criminal elements.
I am not saying herdsmen don't attack. But majority of those attacks are not herdsmen.....

Benue people wake up from your slumber look for your attackers, seek for external help and do same to them no one has monopoly of violence. I hate this bad news of Benue people always being killed and FG is doing nothing to help the poor villagers, there was once a country called Nigeria cos I know Nigeria is long dead. Stop folding your hands Benue people this is terribly bad seek help such news saddens my day how long will this continue God will not come down to fight for you defend yourselves and help will come tit-for-tat is the solution , how can this continue to happen in this modern days and FG is mute about it Mr Reverend governor you're too weak tuweeh 🤮🤮
They don't seem to care.

Nnamdi Kanu once talked about helping each tribe/state to setup a security outfit similar to ESN to help them curb this fulani menace but everyone vilified him.

I no too like that Kanu guy but every single thing he ever said has been coming to pass

Why are you making these excuses for them?

Did other Nigerians who opened businesses for themselves do so for free or at a cheaper rate?

Again, which money are they using to acquire those AK47s and other sophisticated weapons they've been using on Nigerians?
How about the millions, if not billions, they're raking in monthly from kidnappings across the length and breadth of the country huh

Nawaoo!

People are not fed up bro.

The government has refused to do anything meaningful about it. What is the FG thay is incharge of all security apparati of the country doing about it?
Let them keep waiting for government intervention till they are all wiped out of their ancestral land.

Did those herdsmen waited for government before striking?

yeah I have met a few idoma persons and they are miles ahead in character and conduct from the tivs.

I always advise my goons, never marry a Bini girl, never marry an Esan girl and never marry a Tiv girl.
You go cry tire. Them be ashana

I feel for them, there is no justification to these incessant killings but the benue people particularly tivs are a bunch of sad clowns.

They need to be serious first before others can take them serious
Absolutely.
Those human-animals will continue to attack them as long as they continue to recycle their old politicians. The tivs are fighting the idomas from the federal and state level.

I had a friend who schooled in their polytechnic. I visited him in 2012. Their people are good. They don't deserve this shit. Trust me.
If I have my way, I'd like to marry from there

But why should the people wait for the Federal government before they could defend themselves....

How come a whole community doesn't have there own security and area thugs.. palace boys,.. to defend themselves...

There is nowhere in the news talking about repellent attack on the herders...

Who else noticed that no fulani herders men killing in the core Northern part of Nigeria..

They should wake up before they are wiped out.
President Tinubu should do something for this people,

At this point, the Benue people should take up arms and defend themselves. If the government can't protect them against these marauding herders, they should protect themselves
How would they pick up arms to defend themselves, isn't it illegal? Nnamdi Kanu and his ESN come to mind. We remember how he was vilified by fellow Nigerians for establishing an illegal security outfit? Anyway Nigerians are hypocrites. Benue people should wait until the government permits them to defend themselves

Benue men must be the weakest in nigeria how can they be watching helplessly for years while these fulani jihadists wipe out the entire benue people out of extinction? Even their prominent and popular sons like 2face that has a voice don't even the courage to use their various social media platforms to condemn these daily unprovoked massacres.

Government build ranches so that this cows can stay in the ranch and the herdsmen feed and take care of their cows in the ranch..this will avoid open gazing and herdsmen carrying cows around people farms, villages and communities which will reduce and stop all this clashes, violence and killing
Why should government build a Ranch for a private business 🤔 did government pay shop rents for business men in ladipo market,alaba international market,sura market etc?

..then why can't the police and government arrest and prosecute them?..I have not seen any Fulani herdsmen arrested for all this kidnapping, killing they have committed on innocent farmers and nigerians ..or are the police and government afraid of them

This was exactly what brought about the emergence of Nnamdi Kanu after he found out that the IGBOS in Politics could not speak out for the IGBOS, although he escalated the issue as Government could not handle it well, but today he is DSS custody since 2017...

Today, Igbos in Enugu stat OHAMUFU area are being slaughtered by the same Jihadists.....the other day was in Ebinyi State...

Politics has taken over the Security of Nigeria and Nigerians...

Tomorrow if one person from Benue State will rise up to tell the Government and all theses jihadists and their supporters that enough is enough, you will see how they will use propaganda and all forms of media negative energy to send him or her to DSS custody...

I believe there has never been a time when Benue people have ever raised their voice against inhuman actions against other tribes in Nigeria, so they should face what is coming to them...

Let the side that is the highest bidder win.... that's the slogan of Nigerians...

Good question,it's just unfortunate that we've allowed low grade mind people,vagabonds,slowpoke,agberoism etc occupied the corridor of government for too long.

It is now crystal clear that our government people are accomplice in this matter on ground because why would any sane government allow kidnapping,banditry,terrorist,agberoism etc have a free hand to operate & go scot free.

It only happens in Nigeria.

The moment they arm themselves to repel the terrorists, Nigerian military will swoop in to offer protection to the murderers.
We've seen it in action time and time again ..in Benue and South Kaduna
People are tired but can't defend themselves..
It's bad enough for fulani terrorists to kill you..
But your own country's soldiers to murder you in your own land?
That'd the conundrum they face in Benue .

Can you see that even the little voices pouring out in your defence are from the SE and SS, the same people you were deceived into believing they're your real enemies?

Bloody dumbheads who can't use their brains.

And you believe that thing is from Benue?
