They are not ready yet. When they are actually fed up, they won't wear uniforms and carry placards..

In simple terms you are saying Tinubu has failed to do his Job
The minorities in Benue need to wake up and defend themselves.. the larger tribes like Idomas won't be spared by those killers once they take out the smaller tribes there.

The neglect and 'I don't care' attitude from Benue people in Government today is heartbreaking.. those killers have less to no training whatsoever, just arms and ammunitions, how can they be left to roam like that?

The government doesn't care about any lives loss in benue. You guys should just phantom out means of protecting yourself that's all. Because you will wake up one day to hear that nobody is remaining in benue state.

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!
Oga shut up!
Is Alia the one killing his people?

Shey your madness no gree you call out the people saddled with security?

And what have you done individually to contribute in curbing the menace?

My comment is too deep for your shallow mind to understand and comprehend. You need to think deeply to understand what i said and the perspective i am driving at. I am not here to please your shallow mind. People are dying and politics is been played with it. That is what i am saying. I hope you understand now.

Tinubu is not the cause of the problem. My concern is that Tinubu is not doing anything about the problem. The last governor was a PDP governor under a Fulani President we witnessed the massacre in Benue, we thought it was because of a Fulani President.

Now the question is where is David Mark and Onoja? is it because they are not Tiv? Does it mean Idoma and Igede are exempted from this massacre?

That's the thing about the north. When they are angry first step is to block major road.
Did you all miss geography classes ? There is Middlebelt and North.

Enough is Enough ke 🙄

So Tinubu can't declare a state of emergency in Benue despite the genocide because it's APC yet can declare same in peaceful Rivers state over a pipeline?

That means the APC led government don't value the lives of people in Benue. They prefer focusing on Israel, Peter Obi and 2027 elections.

The People of Benue state have suffered a lot in the hands of these killers. Why their native leaders just keep mute? Abi? FG can't do anything on this matter, their faith is in their hands... Nothing FG can do about it .... Nothing..
