Who are you protesting to instead of declaring Tiv Republic?


Do you not understand that there shall be no END to the attacks against you so long as Tiv remains in one Nigeria with Fulani?
Don't you know that there are many sovereign countries with population less than 200,000 people?


Don't you know that what matters in one's country is one's satisfaction and happiness over one's country, not how rich or how big one's country is?

It’s because the federal government is preventing them from doing what they want to do
I am not sure General Victor Malu is alive. We have not heard anything from the retired Generals from Benue and Plateau States on this crisis.

Celebration of mentorship and long years of friendship in the face of serious problems that require honest solution cannot work. Blood is crying .

You don't even know Benjamin Nethanyahu sponsored Hamas to take over Gaza government from fattah and In typical Israeli fashion turned on them after using them to achieve his aim.
And then?
Is that all?
How will this save Iran currently?

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.

this problem started towards the end tenure of Obj. Ortom was the one who criminally as alleged fueled this issue that has become what you are seeing. It started with our traditional rulers and that is where it started. So even if state of emergency is declared, untill the root cause is addressed, it will continue.

If Benue state doesn't get rid of Fulani herdsmen, they will keep hunting them.

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 truth is a lot of their prominent leaders failed them, some of them have held very strong positions in this country and some are still holding, they just act like there is nothing happening, however that is where I expect the federal government that is tasked to protect lives and properties using the military to do something, if a child is not responsible, the parent shouldn't justify being irresponsible because of the child's irresponsibility.

The priest of a governor should act as fast as possible to quell the killings in the state.

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

A state of emergency will reduce the killings then they can have time to solve the root problem.
Is it not the same Ortom that's freely walking about with Wike?
So He and others involved can't be dealt with? FG is proactive tackling whosoever opposes them so can't touch the sacred cows.

The blood of people shed so far can't be silent and go unpunished. Severe Judgement is coming! It's just a matter of time.

No it started during buhari time and administration in which those herdsmen were claiming that they owe the lands in Nigeria because their fellow brother buhari is on the presidential sit is the president of nigeria.so any land belongs to them and have the right to invade and take over the land ..this is where
herdsmen and farmers issues now started..herdsmen invading farmers farm and land , feeding their cows on the farm and destroying it and occupying the farm and land

ObaOfYorubaLand:
They should continue to vote for APC even with all the evidences of failure.
You should stop saying this as it is misleading. No one voted APC. Their votes are manipulated. Are you not surprised that just few day ago Benue rallies for tinubu and Alia and just few days after the same Benue people are protesting. Those who rig election hired people to rally and the real Benue people whose vote a re manipulates are protesting now.

What are all the so called cultist doing in Benue ? If it’s to kill their fellow man because of colour , their dick would rise hard, but now the enemies of Benue state are wiping all colours , genders , and everything that has to do with Benue and these weak men can’t do shit. Imagine they all join forces with the tools they have, and help their people fight back, wouldn’t their parents be proud ? It’s just so sad

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



You have spoken well. Our government is just so stupid.

They were not hired from Jupiter. If they can sell their dignity for pittance from politicians, they have no right to cry foul.
