When will cnn carry the APC govt sponsored genocide going on in benue state?

Why a highway, don’t they have a government house? Take your grievances to whoever is in power. Ignorance will not be the death of the common Nigerian.

I hope they remain there till they get answers to their request?

The solution to this madness lies inside Benue. They know it themselves.

Noted.
Either way, every struggle will always come to an end.

foolish youths

na only highway dem sabi block. na highway kill people inside benue state?

make una retaliate the killings una no fit

How long will they continue to protest and block the highway? Instead of them to organise themselves and defend their land they are stopping innocent motorists from using the road.

VDM is in the building.. very dark man joined the protest this afternoon in Makurdi, the Benue State capital..... The protest is already gaining weight nationwide

Celestialsword:
Those ones were hired by politicians to deceive the masses

Hired you say? Were they blind? How much was given to each of them and for what purpose?

No wonder, President Buhari called them lazy youth.
.

My own is can't they put aside their differences, even though we know Benue is made up of several minority ethnic groups from Idomas to Tivs and the rest.
They should form vigilantes and CJTF armed to the teeth like the ones in Borno did to circle the borders of Benue State and comb all the forests in the State to fish out the killers.

Where are the Benue sons and daughters in all these?.. is this how you people will keep queit and be acting du.mb till they wipe out your kinsmen?
This is so annoying mehn.. human beings not spirits going on killing spree as they like and getting away with it. So appalling to say the least.

Why you politicians playing Dirty Polictice with the people's life?

I.wish it was the time we were in bsu,we for take the protest to government house, make sure no movement in the whole state.Block wurukum roundabout so that no movement Fr om north to east.My people are suffering in benue state just because of the failure of government.

Are they not the same people that did rally last week to support Tinubu and their Governor?

They have not seen anything yet.
The Fulanis are bent to send the Benue people on extinction.

It is not time we joined this guys in giving this protest more volume. Be like say the deafness of our Leaders is beyond redemption.
Youth from other states need to lend a voice to these guys protest.

The north is one. This wahala no concern us down south.

Federal government should hold SGF responsible for this rubbish that are happening in venue state..

Your government are only interested in ur tax payers money, crude oil money and international loans they embezzle,
They don't care about u

Ewedegubbler:

Lies.. the North is not one.
Why hasn't the core North done anything to assist the Middle Belt in this on-going ethnic cleansing of indigenous Middle Belt ethnic groups by killers of Fulani stock?. If truly North is one, why are the Northern elders forun or Arewa consultative forum not agitated in this senseless killings of Benue people.

This protest if not properly managed might spread all over the country just like EndSars.. it's then all these politicians will know that they are not better than those who vote them into office.

No, they should continue to match in support for 2027, while their families dies in the hands of Fulani Terrorists and Bandits as they are called.

The Time to MATCH is NOW!

Why are they protesting again I thought last week they did rally for the governor / Tinubu and is this how the highway look like

In simple terms you are saying Tinubu has failed to do his Job

Without a credible threat of loss of power at the polls no politician will act in the interest of the people he swears to serve.

That was why this government has been moving quickly to consolidate various executives and legislators to it's side.

It wants to drive a wedge between them and the people they lead knowing it is grossly unpopular and will ordinarily lose the next elections strictly based on performance.

If these people protesting are able to articulate their wishes, grow their actions into a movement and bring that weight to politically standoff against the present government, they will frighten them to the point of action.

Anything short of that will be like water off a ducks back. You have heard from their 'brilliant and best' calling the people, 'noise makers' and 'busy bodies'.

benuejosh:
I am here reading comments and critiques, when i am done, i will say something.

You have been reading comments and critiques for 1 full hour now

Has time not yet reached for you to speak out on behalf of your own village pipo? or you're waiting for the next wave of attacks where your cousins from your mother's side could be massacred?

benuejosh, diaries God ooooo

I ain't got no pity for them. Very anyhow homo sapiens.
They had a rally for their mundane governor last week
They know that Akume and Ortom are behind the sh1t going on in Benue, yet they'd prefer to die than mention their names
The governor like Tinubu is only interested in 2027, yet he can never take any drastic action.
Let the benue people go to katsina and Sokoto states and do same at least.
The army commander and Dss are in charge of benue state are complicit. Let them let the world knows because telling Tinubu is a waste of time. Nothing matters to tinubu except his 2027 ambition.
If I were from Benue,.....

muyico:
Obedient and bitter Obi behind this protest, why bitter Obi like playing politics all around, u can't rule Nigeria,u will surely labours in vains

English Language na your mate? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Celestialsword:
Their leaders and the government knows what to do but. wouldn't.

They are just playing politics with people's lives

Playing politics with our wellbeing is the only thing A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC knows. They are cluelessly incompetent in the provision of common services, public facilities and amenities as well as utilities.

Imagine what Fayemi said about the 2012 Ojota fuel deregulation protest that was led by Buhari's 2011 running mate.

Omooba77:
A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, said the protest that trailed the fuel subsidy removal during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 was due to political interests.

Fayemi said this in his keynote address delivered at a national dialogue organised to celebrate the 60th birthday celebration of the founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy and Fellow, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Professor Udenta Udenta in Abuja.

The programme was attended by Jonathan, former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili; former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, among others.

The PUNCH reports that on January 1, 2012, President Goodluck announced the removal of fuel subsidy and adjusted the pump price of petrol from N65 per litre to N141.

The decision sparked mass protests, tagged ‘Occupy Nigeria’ across major cities of the country.

The price was later re-adjusted to N97, after more than a week of protests.

Petrol price was later reduced to N87 in 2015.

Jonathan faced serious backlash for the fuel price adjustment, especially from leaders of the All Progressives Congress, who were then in different opposition parties, including the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressives Congress, All Nigeria Peoples Party, and All Progressive Grand Alliance.

Finally waking up to the reality.
A community was totally destroyed despite the heavy presence of security men in benue state showed that something is tactically wrong with our security structures and architecture.
