Xisnin:You're missing the point here. No reasonable human being will justify the barbaric behaviors of the Fulani herdsmen. But there seems to be a lot of politicizing going on on the issue. Some dumbass fellows are even equating it to Islamization. People are dying. It's our collective interest to task the government to wake up and stop the meaningless killings, not score cheap political goals. 1 Like |

There was a story on frontpage couple of days ago about Benue youths forming a militia to confront the herdsmen and I said it was a lie that they are too cowardly to confront the herdsmen. 2013 to 2018 is 5 long years of this animals murdering you senselessly and you are still begging the federal government to come and save you, Benue men are a disgrace to manhood. God bless Fayose the governor of my mother's state. |

NaoSlay:It did not start under GEJ's tenure. It had been ongoing even before the fourth republic (1999). However, read this excerpt: According to the Global Terrorism Index, Fulani militants were the fourth deadliest terrorist group in 2014, using machine guns and attacks on villages to assault and intimidate farmers. After killing around 80 people in total from 2010 to 2013, they killed 1,229 in 2014. Most deaths occurred in the Nigerian Middle Belt, in particular in the states of Benue, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Plateau and Taraba, which recorded 847 deaths.The question is, why did a ragtag militia that killed 80 people in four years (2010-2013) kill 1,229 in a year that Buhari made his "dogs and baboons" statement. What exactly necessitated that over 1200% increase in casualties in 2014, just when Boko Haram was being curtailed? Facts will be freely available, but you id*ots wouldn't use it. -Lord 3 Likes 2 Shares |

HungerBAD:Bros, don't go there. Fulani attacks had also increased outside Benue since 2015. So while it looks like the number of Benue attacks decreased from 2015, other areas saw an increase in attacks from same period. Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Taraba, Edo, Adamawa and even up to Enugu. So it is not just about Benue after all they were declared as terrorist group by US and EU before 2015. However, since everything is about politics and tribalism in Nigeria and Buhari should no not be held accountable since it did not start from 2015, they can continue their killing spree. Maybe the next president will also say it did not start from his regime and the cycle continues. |

Feb 21-24 2016, just 3 days 500 person's killed. 33 attacks during PDP that is why we voted the out believing that Buhari will correct PDP mistakes as he promised us, but instead we are seeing worse. |

Misterdhee1:Any statement made for or against a government is political. If you complain of armed robbers terrorising your street or poor electricity supply, you are being political because it could be interpreted as saying that the government is incompetent. If you don't want to be political, never complain of any injustice, just remain silent. |

EternalTruths:Let us put our emotions aside and examine raw facts. One-Nigerianism did not really start with Northerners but with Azikiwe the political leader of Igbos. Originally Northerners never believed in the Nigeria project because they could not comprehend how they would favorably compete with the far more educated, enlightened, liberal and dynamic South in a level playing field environment. In fact they never let any opportunity to demonstrate it slip by. However, they were forced into believing in Nigeria by no one other than Azikiwe who offered to have the atmosphere tilted in their favor provided such would make them stay. Please read below the speech Zik made against the idea of disintegration of Nigeria the very first time it was formally proposed by Northerners. In 1953 when Northern Nigerians were beginning to consider secession from the Nigerian colony that would soon be a nation, Nnamdi Azikiwe gave a speech before the caucus of his political party, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) in Yaba, Nigeria on May 12, 1953. That speech, while not disallowing secession, suggested that there would be grave consequences if the Northern region became an independent nation. I have invited you to attend this caucus because I would like you to make clear our stand on the issue of secession. As a party, we would have preferred Nigeria to remain intact, but lest there be doubt as to our willingness to concede to any shade of political opinion the right to determine its policy, I am obliged to issue a solemn warning to those who are goading the North towards secession. If you agree with my views, then I hope that in course of our deliberations tonight, you will endorse them, to enable me to publicize them in the Press. In my opinion, the Northerners are perfectly entitled to consider whether or not they should secede from the indissoluble union which nature has formed between it and the South, but it would be calamitous to the corporate existence of the North should the clamour for secession prevail. I, therefore, counsel Northern leaders to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of secession before embarking upon this dangerous course. As one who was born in the North, I have a deep spiritual attachment to that part of the country, but it would be a capital political blunder if the North should break away from the South. The latter is in a better position to make rapid constitutional advance, so that if the North should become truncated from the South, it would benefit both Southerners and Northerners who are domiciled in the South more than their kith and kin who are domiciled in the North. There are seven reasons for my holding to this view. Secession by the North may lead to internal political convulsion there when it is realized that militant nationalists and their organizations, like the NLPU, the Askianist Movement, and the Middle Zone League, have aspirations for self-government in 1956 identical with those of their Southern compatriots. It may lead to justifiable demands for the right of self-determination by non-Muslims, who form the majority of the population in the so-called ‘Pagan’ provinces, like Benue, Ilorin, Kabba, Niger and Plateau, not to mention the claims of non-Muslims who are domiciled in Adamawa and Bauchi Provinces. It may lead to economic nationalism in the Eastern Region, which can pursue a policy of blockade of the North, by refusing it access to the sea, over and under the River Niger, except upon payment of tolls. It may lead to economic warfare between the North on the one hand, and the Eastern or Western regions on the other, should they decide to fix protective tariffs which will make the use of the ports of the Last and West uneconomic for the North. The North may be rich in mineral resources and certain cash crops, but that is no guarantee that it would be capable of growing sufficient food crops to enable it to feed its teeming millions, unlike the East and the West. Secession may create hardship for Easterners and Westerners who are domiciled in the North, since the price of food crops to be imported into the North from the South is bound to be very high and to cause an increase in the cost of living. Lastly, it will endanger the relations with their neighbours of millions of Northerners who are domiciled in the East and West and Easterners and Westerners who reside in the North. You may ask me whether there would be a prospect of civil war, if the North decided to secede? My answer would be that it is a hypothetical question which only time can answer. In any case, the plausible cause of a civil war might be a dispute as to the right of passage on the River Niger, or the right of flight over the territory of the Eastern or Western Region; but such disputes can be settled diplomatically, instead of by force. Nevertheless, if civil war should become inevitable at this stage of our progress as a nation, then security considerations must be borne in mind by those who are charged with the responsibility of government of the North and the South. Military forces and installations are fairly distributed in all the three regions; if that is not the case, any of the regions can obtain military aid from certain interested Powers. It means that we cannot preclude the possibility of alliance with certain countries. You may ask me to agree that if the British left Nigeria to its fate, the Northerners would continue their uninterrupted march to the sea, as was prophesied six years ago? My reply is that such an empty threat is devoid of historical substance and that so far as I know, the Eastern Region has never been subjugated by any indigenous African invader. At the price of being accused of overconfidence, I will risk a prophecy and say that, other things being equal, the Easterners will defend themselves gallantly, if and when they are invaded. Let me take this opportunity to warn those who are making a mountain out of the molehill of the constitutional crisis to be more restrained and constructive. The dissemination of lies abroad; the publishing of flamboyant headlines about secessionist plans, and the goading of empty-headed careerists with gaseous ideas about their own importance in tile scheme of things in the North is being overdone in certain quarters. I feel that these quarters must be held responsible for any breach between the North and South, which nature had indissolubly united in a political, social and economic marriage of convenience. In my personal opinion, there is no sense in the North breaking away or the East or the West breaking away; it would be better if all the regions would address themselves to the task of crystallizing common nationality, irrespective of the extraneous influences at work. What history has joined together let no man put asunder. But history is a strange mistress which can cause strange things to happen!

EternalTruths:The North was initially wary of being in the same country with Southerners post independence but got rather arm twisted into it by the South Eastern political elite with the passive assistance of British might. Please find below a confession by the main Southern figure responsible for forcing the North and West to remain in Nigeria against the absence of any basis for such: ZIKS INTERVIEW WITH NEW NIGERIAN NEWSPAPER IN 1975. ………..Excerpt……….. Again, however, when the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual. That was when we began to use that expression – ‘The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation’ – and that to secede would amount to treason. And so, a debate ensued. The Secretary of State then was Oliver Lyttleton, later Lord Chandos and he was very much interested and that was his first time in saying that the people of African descent were people actually debating at a high level. So a full day was given to Chief Awolowo to make his points. He spoke brilliantly as a lawyer. He made his points why secession should be incorporated in the constitution. He cited the case of the Soviet Union which is a federation, and that secession is written there so that any state in the Soviet Union can secede at will. He also cited the case of Western Australia and eventually he finished his case and was applauded. We adjourned. The next day, I had to reply. I availed myself of the opportunity to, well, demolish the arguments of my friend and I cited the case of United States which based its constitution on that of the Swiss Confederation. That is Switzerland. I pointed out a case, I think, that of Texas versus White, where Mr. Salmon Chase, the Chief Justice laid down the principle – he was really an arbiter – that the union was intended to be perpetual and indivisible and that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable. The North (NPC) supported Action Group. The question was then: Should we have secession? The Colonial Office came to our rescue. You know, the usual principle of Britain – ‘divide and rule’ (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us. Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason and that was what led to this war, because Col. Ojukwu seceded and so violated the constitution. https://oblongmedia.net/2017/06/26/zik-interview-with-new-nigeria-in-1975/ |
