MrSly:
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.
why must we allow ourselves to become willing tools in the hands of these politicians? Our mumu never do?how much them want pay to make dem stoop this low.will the money be enough to sort their bills for the next 4 years?if no,then it's not worth it.

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
I am from Benue and i can tell you better. So please calm down. Have you hears of the late Ghana from Benue? If you do then you won't write what you did here.

Are they not the same people who rallied for Tinubu and Allia for 2027 few days ago
The urgent 2k they collected has finished. This is just signal to remind their oppressors to start doing second round

The killing didn't start yesterday. Funny enough, they all came out in droves to welcome and celebrate Tinubu achievement last week. Ask helinues, no killing of any type in Benue. Benue is relatively peaceful. It's Peter obi that photoshoped the pictures online to discredit The presidency. Helinues and muyico can bear witness to it.

I don't believe you are from Benue. Benuejosh seems to be an account created for Benue and Jos (Plateau) crisis. Who is late Ghana from Benue? I asked a question about how Ortom and Traditional rulers started the crisis you did not reply.

There is no evidence that they are angry here, when I see one, I will recognise it.

If they were truly pained by happenings around them, they would have staged counter protests the same day their paid brothers were cheering Tinubu and alia up few days back.

The killers were happy that they praised Tinubu and decided to strike harder since they demonstrated their happiness with the unabated killings going on for long, shouldn't they continue the praise singing as they have succeeded in adding more deaths? When you play politics with your brothers and sisters lives, this is the result........shameful!

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.
I don’t kkkw who is Gona be joining Benue people in protests. These guys were butchered by Buharis gangs and yet they voted APC en masse.

Hard to be sympathetic to people who like to embrace their oppressors

This is necessary because both the federal government and the state refuse to wake up to their responsibility of protecting it's citizens
Re: Protest Breaks Out In Benue As Angry Youths Block Abuja-Makurdi Highway by Enaibe01(m): 4:30pm On Jun 15, 2025
Why are they protesting? But they just did rally to support Tinubu and Alia for 2027 reelection.
Re: Protest Breaks Out In Benue As Angry Youths Block Abuja-Makurdi Highway by Kam2021: 4:44pm On Jun 15, 2025
They should protest 1 week straight so that government will get the message.
I'm disappointed in the rev.fr.No difference, no will power.

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!
Enyiaa close mouth abeg.
Even your Tinubu blamed Jonathan for insecurity

Please tell me, just one GOOD single THING of Mr Tinubu. I will not close my eyes and I will appreciate it but first, stick with the 4years they rigged him into Aso Rock, we will talk about your 8 years delusion after 2027 election

I can see you know noting about politics, ask any political scientists they will tell you rigging is part of election. Best rigger always emerged any where in the world. Mind you vote buying, harassment or cohesion, all sort of manipulations either tribalism or religion influence are all rigging during election. Now tell me who among the three leading candidate can be exonerated in 2023 election. 2027 is very near. IRE O

That is the question but the reality is that those who are easily bought are those people whose spouses, parents or benefactors are into politics. They are in the minority. However, rigging thses days does not involve vote buying. It simple manipulation of figures and it is done by that same few people as I have mentioned above. A common man in nigeria has no say in nigerian election.

Majority of common Nigerians are not and can't be bought, all things being equal.

Thank you for clarifying the fact that Tinubu didn't enter Aso Rock with people's mandate but a stolen one and it's all I needed to hear. So, it's understandable why he's just as clueless as his supporters on what to do to move Nigeria forward.
No wonder you can't even say a single good thing he's been able to do since he stole Obi's mandate. Yet you still support him despite seeing Nigeria sinking under his watch, haaaa how unpatriotic can you! Is this the kind of country you want to leave for your children or you think it all ends in proving petty points on social media while people are escaping the country with no plans to return?

You are so naive, Peter Obi won 99% of Eastern vote yet he won in south West and North. Atiku won in south west and anybody that wanted to vote for other party in your dot com. Shall be threaten, let me tell you the bitter truth if Peter Obi contested 100 times he will not win same thing happened to Awolowo in his days because the 11 northern core Muslims States will never vote for Christian but they would rather vote for Muslim Muslim tickets.

You see, we don't tell ourselves the truth even when it takes nothing away from us. I remember reading about OBJ saying that even the best candidate will not win the 1979 election and he was clearly referring to Awo. Similar things happened in 1993 and 2007 when the politicians always try to give the people a different person from who they voted. But has it ever changed the fact that people are always conscious of what usually happen during the elections? No! Trying to justify the shady role of inec itself by switching off the server and claiming technical glitches for only the presidential election while at the same time, announcing someone as winner only leads to the 'illegitimate' president we have, who would never have the support of most people. It doesn't matter whether the court sealed the deal or not, people are not that dumb and stupid in this age.

A reverend father {an ordained clergy} left his flock to go astray and expect the one Holy One who called him to be happy with him. It cannot happen. He should go back to his calling. He took an oath that was binding.
