While our government keep mum and turn blind eyes to the plight of Benue people, Pope Leo XIV today called out the killings in Benue and prayed for the souls of the massacred.

Our politicians and so called leaders are more interested in 2027 elections.

I just don't understand PBAT's kind of politics.
I thought he'll fight these vermins to atleast win the support and votes of the middle belt. It's no secret that these vermins were created to undermine his government but PBAT will rather cowardly play his Dumb and Deaf kind of politics. Shiiooorr!

The coming of Alia a Reverend father, makes the security situation in benue worst than it was initially

Our pastors only care about tithes and offerings

If the parties involved are not ready to stop the killings, the message might be inconsequential

Keeping quiet when the country they claim to rule has been taking siege by foreign religious radicals.
With the number of lives lost so far what is stopping tinubu from declaring State of emergency in Venue.

No wonder the government at the center had to come up with a press release to condemn the attacks after a prolonged silence and advising the governor to push for reconciliation

President Tinubu,

It is irrelevant whether peace and reconciliation are the goals. It is completely unacceptable that terrorists would enter a community and wipe out innocent lives and there is no emergency security meeting and strong steps to curtail the crisis.

No arrests have been made.

When pipelines were bombed in Rivers State, you acted decisively. Until today, not a single individual has gone near any pipeline to admire it or kiss it.

President Tinubu, many of us who supported you did so because you demonstrated capacity while you led Lagos. As governor, the first thing you did within six months was launching the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) that changed the face of security in Lagos State until today.

What exactly are you doing now?

Are you overwhelmed?

Those of us who support you are fully in support of you taking decisive action against those who kill our countrymen for any reason. They have done it in Kaduna, they have done it in Plateau, they have tried it in Enugu, they are doing it on a weekly basis in Benue. By the time they conquer Benue, they'd want to expand. Now is the time to push back. And the pushback must be decisive.

Do you remember how IBB ended the terror reign of Lawrence Anini?

Do you remember what Abacha did when some fanatics murdered someone and paraded his head in the streets of Kano?

Do you remember how Buhari chased some Chadian rebels 50 km beyond international borders? Infact, when Chadian rebels occupied some islands in Lake Chad, President Shagari ordered GOC General Buhari of Jos Division to chase them away. Did they come back?

The country is at war! Not against PDP or bad economy. The country is at war against those who do not wish to take responsibility and give orders for those killing our people to be levelled.

You are commander-in-chief. Your security echelon knows these people and their sponsors. They know their lines of communication. There is also no way they'd come in their motorcycles in their numbers and security agencies are not aware. Fish them out and give them summary justice. Until those who kill are made to face the music, ignoring them motivates them to kill some more.

We also hear that the security agencies prevent the locals from defending themselves by raiding them and collecting their weapons. Since the government has failed them, they resorted to self-help. We are charging the security agencies to descend on the terrorists with the same speed they descend on locals when the locals defend themselves.

President Tinubu, if you fail to fully tackle insecurity and let Nigerians feel safe, if you like, build a bridge from Nigeria to heaven, you'd have failed!

Anyone who takes the life of another has signed a contract with death. Please do the needful and send them to where they belong: hell.

Enough is enough!

As for the governor, please augment the forest guards with your own local vigilante. Arm them to defend the communities. We'd be ready to contribute to paying them if necessary even if we are not from Benue. David Mark, SGF George Akume, are you going to keep silent while your people are being murdered? What would be your legacy to your descendants? Are you not bothered?

As for the crew in the southeast murdering their own people, Benue and Kogi states form the northern fence of the southeast. If Benue falls, they'd come for you because they are fighting to control land and resources, especially water. Mobilize and support Benue. Prominent Igbo businessmen, be ready to pool funds to support Benue's efforts. Let us unite and fight a common enemy.

PS: Some people who have turned themselves to apostles of mediocrity who assume I am paid to support Tinubu must be reminded yet again that I am not like them. We staked everything to support Tinubu and that means we have failed if he fails. We criticize him where he falters and do not support him blindly. And no, it is only those who are mentally limited and poverty-stricken with ideas and want to be paid who assume I am paid.

Maybe to an extent, the crisis is serving his purpose.

Christians supporting this m m government are the one to be blamed


Nigeria is not like this when Obasanjo and Jonathan were head of state

Maxymilliano:

Exactly!

Tinubu only issued that press statement after being made aware of the Pope’s callout.

This is killings that has been going on for months now.

If the Pope hadn’t talked, the President wouldn’t have said pim.

And even the press seem to have gone to bed with them. None of them is reporting the killings. This is contrary to what happened under Jonathan when Channels Television used to carry these things on its head.
