Why are they targeting the middle belt people
That's where new precious mineral deposits are found. The surrounding communities needs to be deserted or extincted so that illegal exploration and exploitation can commence in earnest.

What else is expected of the government to do after its proposal was shut own because of tribalism.

When the government propose containment of herdsmen in designated areas across Nigeria, people we’re talking about land grabbing and Islamization WITHOUT better and more diplomatic suggestions.

Same measures don’t yield different result. The killing will continue until drastic measures are taking.

The situation in Nigeria is similar to that of the US. They keep complaining about mass shooting and gun violence but never ready to address issues.

Not ONE Governor in the entire Nigeria has given a better proposal than RUGA, but majority of them oppose it.
Stop telling lies
Samuel Ortom as gov proposed that herdsmen take to ranching as he owns a ranch himself

Instead of the APC at the centre to support him, they turned it to all to propaganda and even accused the governor of flaming herdsmen attacks by rustling cattle and banning open grazing.

But that's not all, even Gandollar while gov of Kano proposed settling the herdsmen disturbing NC in fagge forest in Kano.

Miyetti Allah rejected it because of course their main focus is the fertile lands of the North central inhabited by Christians

So stop telling lies here

Simply tell your herdsmen brothers to respect the sanctity of human lives and stop killing humans all because of cows!!

If you are killing because you want free land, that will never happen.
Keep killing, soon the people will wake up and rise against anything Fulani and we will see who will be outnumbered.
That is why I like how an area managed this issue, till today everybody has peace. It is not by cowardice or crying to government that cares only about their pockets.

Everybody should rise and demand their right to security of lives and properties. Make it a matter of ''Give us state police and local council policing legislations or we quit the federation'. We are not a conquered nation but a federating unit.
If Sowore is serious about a positive change that will gain the support of good people, this is something for him. Those who are being used to stage political protests should reason with this in their own interest and save themselves. Fulani terrorists will not stop if you don't stop them.

Tinubu is bad but if his political opponents from the south think they will replace him, I cant see how that can happen. What we all need to halt now is fulani herdsmen terrorism being coordinated by Buhari, Elrufai and genocidal others. Another fulani mustn't be your president soon: know that and know peace.

Tinubu and Shettima dribbled Nigerians by failing to go to the national assembly straight to get state police legislation natter sorted. Seyi Makinde said that time that they were not sincere but nobody listened to him.
Nigeria will never be ripe for State Police as long as we still have high level of rigging in our elections.
Judging by the way the State governors operate , State Police will turn as willing tolls against political opponents. There will be an increase in abuse of law, maiming, kidnapping, killing, assassination, etc, etc.
Let the State Governors do with creation of State vigilante units that will be empowered by the State laws to handle each States' insecurity accordingly.
The constitution of the FRN recognizes vigilante association already. Let them be upgraded according to each States' insecurity challenges.

na them give rooms for all these, let the governor supply them with AK47, I think he recognizes they're at war, let them flank all Fulanis in the state, Kill them all at sight, and make sure anyway they see something looks like Fulani, they should kill. Simple. Cry all the time and bury deads is a very stupid actions and all the idiots still residing in the North should return immediately if they are not blind

It is not the government's position to provide land for such private business.

How many business has the government be it State or FG provided free lands for ?

Let those who have such out up funds and acquire land to use as ranches


If not that many of the State governors are sympathetic to this cause of the herdsmen, I see no reason why a cattie herder will be in any Southern State?

There are more than enough lands in the North unoccupied , let the respective State governors from where this fellows come from provide irrigation systems on these lands and remediate same to give them what they want....

There is no other country apart from Nigeria even in the entire African continent that still wants the government to provide lands for such private business owners....

What is the profit of the government in this?

Ya Allah

This is so heartbreaking
Wives with no husbands
Husbands with no wives
Children with no parents
Parents with no children

Ya Allah

because middle beltans are plane stupid, they're yet to recognize war situation and what we call defense strategies, when the federal government are useless, find all means to fight back

Is it only happening in Benue? Is it not a general issue across all states. It happened in Benue today and will happen in another state next week. It’s a constant K
That is not what I asked you.

why is Benue the best place to experiment RUGA?

why has RUGA not implemented in all the northern states?

or is that not where all the cattle and their herdsmen are from?

You just buttressed my earlier point. How can you confine herders to a particular region? Does it sound fair and diplomatic to you? Can you discuss such where enlightened people are gathered? Where is it done that a man in London cannot decide to ranch in Liverpool.

Your mentality is part of what is causing the bloodshed. You don’t see beyond ethnicity.
So it’s okay to allow herders That are killing
People all over the country to be everywhere

Some folks will moan about state of emergency that they are fighting against in Rivers. Confused souls. They forgot to ask for state of emergency in almost all south east states that lamidi kanu and his boy boy turned to abattoir and Sapa hqtrs until recently.
Thanks to the governor, Pit lambarino go don dress up to go snap pics for Benue, forget him backyard.

The invading foreign Fulanis invited to resettle on Nigeria as their Homeland needs fertile lands and water for their animals and the area that has such conducive land is Middle Belt region and some parts of the south.

This is about human lives.

As a person who claimed to be a follower of Jesus Christ, is this the best you can do?
Where's the best you can do, maybe i can emulate you. Do you expect me to wail and mourn over human lives on the thread? This is politics section of the forum, not a cemetery or burial ceremony.

I think that is the Plateau state governor that set up panel for cows that were poisoned. Not exempting this governor as also being useless though...
PlasmaTV:
He's a useless Governor. He set up a panel to probe the murder of cows, whereas his citizens are being slaughtered like chickens.

Where did I specifically talk about about Benue? Can you point that out? I was generally speaking. Was Ruga proposed only for Benue?

This assertion is plausible and unlikely please. It is just a political talk that anybody invited any Fulani herdsmen or jihadist to come and settle anywhere. Nobody is stupid and the north is not about Fulani tribe alone the way southerners perceived it.

This people are killing everyone mostly Hausas and Fulanis in the rural villages of zamfara, Katsina and sokoto more than Benue and plateau. This places is not about land and water for animals. It is about illegal exploration of mineral resources.

It is western imperialistic and neo-colonialistic agents especially France that's behind the menace across West Africa.

So forget about Nigeria media/political school of thought.

Governor Bala Mohammed said they invited Fulanis persecuted in their foreign countries where they are a minority to come and settle in Nigeria
