| Uromi Killings: I Apologize To Atiku And The South Easterners For My Outburst by Trinitycian(op): 10:15am On Apr 03, 2025 |
On March 31, I wrote an open letter to Atiku, threatening to withdraw my support if he chose a South Easterner as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election. My outburst was fueled by social media posts from some South Eastern users who justified and even celebrated the horrific burning of innocent Hausa travelers. What hurt me the most was seeing respected individuals partake in this wickedness. It broke me so deeply that I cried. For years, Hausas and Northern minority groups have suffered retaliatory attacks, especially in the South East, all in the name of "fighting the Fulani." Yet, ironically, Northern Christians and Hausas have endured even worse atrocities at the hands of these same Fulani herdsmen and bandits. Our people are being killed, displaced, and humiliated in the North. And when these criminals attack the South, it is we, the Hausas and Northern Christians, who bear the brunt of retaliatory violence, not the actual bandits. Seeing people justify the gruesome murder of those innocent Hausa souls, despite pointing out that they were not Fulani herdsmen, only deepened my pain. That frustration led me to make my post. However, in hindsight, I realize that I acted too harshly, even to the extent of praising Tinubu, when, in fact, he should be held responsible as the Commander-in-Chief. I now understand that none of this would have happened if Tinubu had effectively tackled insecurity. For God’s sake, he is a Southerner, why has he allowed Fulani bandits to overrun the country, including his own region? While I acknowledge his and Governor Uba Sani’s efforts in Southern Kaduna, the reality is that insecurity has worsened nationwide. People are frustrated, and when the government fails to act, they resort to jungle justice, which often claims innocent lives. In times of crisis, emotions take precedence over rationality. Every hour, there is news of killings, by ISWAP, Boko Haram, bandits, kidnappers, or communal clashes. Tinubu has failed. He and his vice, Shettima, must take responsibility. If they cannot fix the problem, they should honorably resign. The killings have become unbearable, and if left unchecked, they could lead to a civil war. Fulani herdsmen are not invincible. Tinubu must act urgently. That said, I want to sincerely apologize to my leader, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the good people of the South East. I acknowledge my mistake and overreaction. I directed my frustration at the wrong people. Please forgive me. To those affected by insecurity, I pray that God comforts you. May He grant us leaders like Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala - leaders with the vision to lead us out of this crisis. To my fellow Nigerians: do not fall for the government's distractions. Let’s hold them accountable. State governors have limited power. Tinubu controls the DSS, the police, and the military, he is the one we should be holding responsible. My deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones. May God grant the departed eternal rest and comfort their families in this difficult time. Amen. |

Hausa hunters shouldn't be travelling to southern Nigeria with guns and think natives will welcome them, they should have been arrested and handed over to the police anyway but it is what it is. |

What normally should have elicited wide spread condemnation suddenly took a twist when obidient rats started justifying the lynching . It was their comments on social media that escalated tensions that required the Edo state governor to personally reach out to the relatives of the victims. These people goaded Fubara and ijaw people to burn down Rivers. They are now supporting that Jezebel as she carries on with her slanderous campaign all in a bid to discredit the leadership of the Senate. |

Nobody gives a fvck about how you feel. The last time I checked, Hausa and Fulani are one in committing crime. Browse the Timeline of Riots in the North and tell me people that were always fast in massacring Igbos. The Pig Yakubu Gowon is not a Fulani man Hausas are the informants that gives Fulani terrorists guide and protection |

Tinubu has failed on security, the improved military budget is not showing results. The lives of every citizen must matter, otherwise government have failed. Nigeria is the only country in the world where people are kidnapped randomly, the number of kidnapped victims in Nigeria, that go through harrowing torture in the hands of kidnappers is the highest in the world. The president must do something. |

lol Igbo dare Fulanis in 1967 we all know how it ended A fool on this thread is still daring them claiming they are the only one that can handle them based on what ? Historical records Igbos are barely prepared , but drunk on foolishness and bravado and very very unaware of the impending disaster facing Fulani will bring him |

Trinitycian:First of all, how do you know it's only the Igbos that supported the uromi killings? All I have to tell you is that, you should tell your people to avoid anything Fulani and also tell Nigerians, that you people no longer identify/bear "Hausa Fulani". That you are Hausa/kanuri or any other name. You can't continue bearing "hausa Fulani" when you lots are witnessing, the atrocious acts of fulanis everyday and still expect people to love you. |

AntiMarxist:why is it that anytime anybody speak out against this your ineffective clueless T-pain government , you tag such person obedients or Igbos, as if you people abhors good governance ? These fulani-herdsmen have been decimating Nigerians for ages, and they are not spirits , what stops your government from apprehending and prosecuting these murderers , so as to stop these needless killings of innocent Nigerians . People will never stop speaking against an irresponsible governments / leaders, until they become responsible government / leaders. Propaganda and excuses don't solve serious problems in any nation. |
