Do we still have IDP camps? I thought the government have done wonder and there’s no longer insecurity
No naw, it is corruption that Tinubu have ended, and the economy is now better than ever

Omo,what amazes me most is how the Benue people particularly the tiv who are most affected and rule the state are dead silent.

They are complicit in destroying their people.

Have spoken personally to several tiv people and they always cover up what's happening to their people.

Evil thrives in darkness,the first remedy against evil is to expose it

Did they get permission from Alia before entering the state as the gateman

We don't want them to return as bodybags oo

Oh. The man even shamelessly accompanied them to where his people are holed up like rats in their own state

Ask him when last he's been there or even asked about their welfare

Useless leaders
Country representatives and international bodies don't just storm into places, they strictly follow diplomatic protocols and cooperate with security agencies before visiting.

A popular politician once tried to visit unannounced and was turned back, not out of disrespect but because his safety couldn't be guaranteed.

Q: If something had happened, who would they blame?

A: The Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the state.

Thats the population of many state capitals. The genocide going on in Nigeria can only happen in Nigeria. One group through dominance of the army, eliminates and takes land from every other group aa they please. No contest. The zombies from the victims group/community in the army and police obey all orders against their own people. Isnt that wonderfully great?

They allowed century grievances which some of them might not be part of to cause all this

That's the population of a small town shocked

Start typing with sense na

You mean Benue people abandoned their homes to go and stay in IDP camps just like that?

I worry for your mental state o
His mental state is fine. He just wants to redirect all the criticisms against the government, to mere bickerings between you and himself. That's what he does on nairaland.

And they will laugh at us and push their agenda of superiority. You think they give a damn about you and those people? Naah! Why don’t they go to Gazahuh

Educate yourself properly
There's no law that says governors are chief security officers of their state
The constitution guarantees free movement of citizens
If something happens, the security agencies will be questioned not the gov except he is suspected of being complicit
There have been multiple murders of politicians in Nigeria and no one blamed the state gov except in a situation they are suspected of being complicit. Bola Ige easily comes to mind. No one questioned or blame former gov Lam Adesina

Even Gaza that is at war don’t have this number of people in IDP camp.

What a shame. What a shattered country.

All the so called president knows is to go from one country to another begging for money to steal, and lying through his teeth that there’s no corruption in the country.

Pathetic!!!
You idiiiiots just like to lambast your country without facts. Do you realise these evil white saviours are respond for the plight of Africa and Africans? There economic policies are created to make us permanently poor so they can feel they are better and superior.

Listen to yourself, so you are blaming victims of bad governance and terrorism , so what do we have a government for? if the people are the ones to solve this problem, what then do they need a government for ?

Imagine a country having more IDP's and IDP camps than countries fighting full blown external wars with another country, then someone will want to convince me that Nigeria is being governed by a sane person...
I’m seriously concerned by those numbers. If this isn’t enough to declare a state of emergency in that state then something isn’t right

Very Wrong.

"Chief Security Officer (CSO)" is political when regarded to Governors (not constitutional), and a title commonly referred to Governors in Nigeria (It is very customary), please don't feign ignorance.

But when anything happens, the Governor carries the blame before agencies. That's the reality. Abi no be so?

What they were hiding from Peter Obi while refusing him to pay a visit to they IDPs,is now glaring and open to the whole world....Nigeria image abroad is at its lowest ebb. The question is how did we get to this shameful level as a nation?

Benue State is part of the Arewa and Northern hegemony.

Who is the head of ADC today? David Mark, who was born in Otukpo, Benue State. The middle belt is the architect of their problem, they support the Fulani northern agenda that kills and displaces their people.

Continue blaming White people for the actions of black people.

The British left a country with three major regions: North, West, and East. The West decided to split into the Southwest and the Midwest. The North and SE refused to separate into manageable regions; instead, the country had a coup, and the same middle-belt leaders under Gowon decided to promote a unified Nigeria into a single state.

And who is supposed to fix it?

The issue with young and ignorant Nigerians is they think our country lives in a vacuum. People like you go around saying Nigeria is a very rich country and your politicians have looted all your wealth. What is the annual revenue of the country? I doubt it that you know. What is the minimum of federal government expenditure? Most Nigerians don’t know.
Go ahead and keep pointing fingers at past and present leaders without changing your own behaviour and your personal contribution to the nation.
And if you are bitter enough, go and ask your parents why they decided to born you knowing that Nigeria has deep corruption problems and is a failed state (according to your likes).

I already gave you an example of no one blaming the governor for the murder of a sitting AG. Also, no one blamed Shettima when Chibok girls were kidnapped. It was all on Jonathan

In Benue Stste alone, over half a million people are in IDP camps, displaced by insecurity. APC is a disgrace

If Nigeria were a civilised country, and half a million people were displaced due to insecurity, the party in power wouldn't be voted back

Some countries are not up to half a million people
Very true. The situation in Benue is like rendering a major chunk of some of these countries homeless.
Here are countries with small populations across the globe

1. Vatican City (approx. 500-800): An independent city-state within Rome, it is the smallest and least populated sovereign nation.

2. Niue
(approx. 1,800-1,935): A self-governing island in free association with New Zealand.

3. Tokelau
(approx. 1,915-2,500): A remote island territory of New Zealand in the South Pacific.
4. Falkland Islands
(approx. 3,400-3,800): An overseas territory of the United Kingdom.

5. Montserrat
(approx. 4,300-4,372): A British overseas territory in the Caribbean.

6. Tuvalu
(approx. 9,500-11,478): A small island nation in Polynesia.

7. Nauru
(approx. 10,800-12,884): A small island country in Micronesia.

8. Palau
(approx. 17,800-18,174): A small island nation in the Pacific.

9. San Marino
(approx. 33,265): An independent microstate surrounded by Italy.

10. Monaco
(approx. 37,550): A small city-state on the French Riviera.

So shameful. For a country not at war.
But how do you explain this if a country is not at war. We are at war. Just that the enemies are those we bow to.

Just let the convoy of the people who put them there arrive and watch how the people gather and hail instead of scattering in horror.

Such wars can never be won, such conflicts can never end.

Your assumption that I am young is your first mistake.

Your second assumption that I think Nigeria is rich is your second mistake.

Your 3rd and final mistake is blaming the White man for Nigeria's problems. You have removed any responsibility for Nigeria's failure from Nigerians, thereby reducing Nigeria's ability to fix its problems.

Own the problem to lead the solution.

Any country that has the 7th largest source of gas, the 13th largest reserves of oil, a young population, and the 7th largest arable land in the world has no business being poor.
