All Benue leaders past and present have failed. All Northern leaders (Kastina,Borno Zamfara) have failed. A government that sacrifices the life of it's people is not a government, it is an occult

That's the thing about the north. When they are angry first step is to block major road.

The higher the insecurity, the more the security vote for the state...

Stop security votes

Stop the use of government security as body guards for elected political office holders (except president, governors and thier vices/deputies), thier cronies, and celebrities

For other government officials who require security, limit to a maximum of 2 agents.

And watch insecurity reduce drastically.

They should continue to vote for APC even with all the evidences of failure.

What are they protesting for if I may ask?

I thought yakubu Gowon already said that the activities of the herdsmen in Benue and plateau states are nothing but show of love.

Form Vigilante Group to defend self. The strength of any milita is in the numbers and alergence

The Governor Alia should do more on forming defence group

Military men of Benue Origin should be deployed while Civilian JTF should be on action.

This is long overdue but we Nigerians like to busy ourselves with matters that don't really matters. Many don't know that the casualty figure from Benue State for last week was more than that casualties of Iran and Isreal put together since the war started days ago

Re: Protest Breaks Out In Benue As Angry Youths Block Abuja-Makurdi Highway by benuejosh:
I am here reading comments and critiques, when i am done, i will say something
I am done reading some comments and of a truth, Alia has failed and not just Tinubu for those of you who are sentimental and want to be political about the issues in Benue. Those speaking against Tinubu are mostly those whose party came third in the presidential election, they have accused Tinubu but failed to condemn the act of the State governor who is alleged to have sent police to tear gas peaceful protesters and thugs to beat up people as alleged.

Alia got to government only to wrestle power with heavy weight politicians in the state than focus on government and administration. We feel he is better off a priest and handle the administration of a parish than a state.

Since this issue started only this year, he has all along being playing politics with it and accusing those politicians in Abuja for fueling killings in the State. He has been told by everyone (both LP, PDP, APC, youths, women and party loyalist) to mention those people and up till this moment no name has been mentioned.

Could it be another strategy for an increase in security votes in the state?

Alia as a governor needs to come out clean on this issue and address the Benue people concerning this killing.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Daft President more focused on Rivers State while Benue burns

This is long overdue. If they can make it to Abuja, they should. They should also organize protests to the Governor's house, state house of assembly, their various LGA secretariats because they are representatives of the people that they chose. I might forgive the judiciary small because they are not elected, but it's 'small' I said o. The killings in that Benue is just too much abeg.
