Fulani herdmen again? And after the IG was relocated to Benue state is he going to relocate to Taraba too to control security menace there too?
the two states share the same boundary, so it will be easy for him to catapult himself to Taraba
at times, I imagine do Nigeria have a president with these series of attacks perpetrated by this terrorist Fulani herdsmen. deploying policemen to these two states in a serious situation is an insult to the citizens of those states. the government do not value the life of the populace. I don't blame them the military that would have been deploy to those states are in peaceful ipob killing them

[quote author=gare post=64036550]can you read thru what you have just written again, so why did you shout GEJ when Chibok girls where kidnapped was there no Governor in the state? what all the warnings and signals he got he did nothing instead you guys transferred the whole thing to GEJ and till date you still blame GEJ for chibok issues, but now that your messiah is being called out you are here making references. Guy sit up pls. PMB is our CIC.

i knew someone will bring GEJ into this, thank God,, in the case of GEJ we had boko haram a terror force with agitation n missions,,taking responsibilities after attacks .... for Godsake do i need to remind you boko haram operated with bombs + other amunitions even foreign countries had to register them as a terror group ,,terrorist are primarily handled by FG. in the case of chibok gurls did GEJ even believe the girls were kidnap.
the killings by some evil fulanis is totally condemnable n inhuman .. but these crisis is such that enforcement agencies n government of a state shuld be able to handle ... FG shuld support as well.
fulani killing squad is yet to have a face,,agitation,,course ...boko haram has face,,ipob on secession course as a face,,FG only went after kanu n ipob was history
we are nigerians with a failed govt since inception,,criticism nd blaming as become our full time jobs,,but what is criticism without objectivity
lagos is over populated but yet safe because our government is taking full responsibilities leaving little or nothing for FG.. benue killings n baddo killings in lag are both civil crisis ..we saw how the govt sprang into action be it other state,,we appeal to FG to pls come,,go be the case
you rent a house anything spoil you wait on the landlord to come fix it ...its only a matter of time before your house looks like nigeria.

Security Force Operation In Nigeria

Catch A Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri or Benue man with Knife or Cutlass - He is a criminal and a thief

Catch A Hausa Fulani man with a knife or cutlass - It is foe self defense and also their dress code

Catch A Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri or Benue man with AK47, Pump Action Guns - He is an armed robber, a terrorist, a kidnapper, a ritualist and a militant

Catch A Hausa Fulani man with - AK47, Pump Action Guns killing Nigerians - He is protecting his cows from wild animals and Nigerians from stealing their cows

First they brought "Grazing Bills" to invade our communities it didn't work, because we votes against it, now they are coming with "Cattle Colonies" we will still resist it.

Any avenue to create caliphate in the southern part of Nigeria by the Fulani Sokoto caliphate so they can install Emirs in our communities will be resisted

After killing Benue people the Buhari led Islamic government says they have not done enough for herdsmen, yes they have not done enough for them yet, Fulani herdsmen need more guns and amonitions to rock more havoc on who ever tries to stop their northern Islamic invasion plan.

DEFEND YOURSELVES NIGERIANS OR ELSE FULANI WILL INVADE YOUR LAND AND KILL YOU ALL. BUHARI IS AIDING THEM WITH SUPPORT

Afterall all Northern governors supports Fulani herdsmen publicly

In 2019 there will be not election if Nigeria is not restructured

We must all have our own state police and regional army and resource control

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!!

INTERVIEW: Benue Attacks: Gov. Ortom rejects creation of cattle 'colonies'

"But like I keep saying, for us, the way forward is ranching and up til this time, I am talking to you, the way forward is ranching because is global best practice." -- Ortom

Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday to meet President Muhammadu Buhari as tension continued to rise in his state over the New Year Day attacks by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

The attack left scores of villagers dead in two local government areas of the state.

Mr. Ortom spoke with State House correspondents after the meeting. Excerpts from the interview.

On his mission to the State House

I had earlier briefed Mr. President when this incident took place on the first of January. After staying back on the ground to do the needful to ensure that we restore normalcy, I said it was important for me to come personally and brief him and that has been done.

Already, because of the communications we have been having when these incidents started, actions have been taken as directed by him (President Buhari). The movement of the DIG, the movement of the IG now to relocate to Benue State to ensure that this challenge is surmounted, was at the instance of Mr. President. Of course additional personnel of DSS and Police have been deployed and even the Army. We have additional personnel on ground now. We have adequately and fully given them the logistics support to ensure that our people are protected.

I had to brief him, he is also doing further investigation to know the next line of action. I believe that my request that the leadership of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, who has earlier threatened… and I accused them directly, since June last year I have been writing to the leadership of security agencies, that these people are a threat to our collective interest and they must be dealt with. They must be arrested and prosecuted because we cannot allow impunity to continue to thrive. And, of course, threat and no action has resulted in this killing and I think that Mr. President will also do the needful to ensure something is done.

On allegations that he hired mercenaries from Republic of Ghana to fight herdsmen

I am not aware of this and I don’t even know about that one, I am hearing it for the first time. If someone has done that, it must be this Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, that have done it.

On the allegations that he was blocked from seeing the President

I have never accused anyone of blocking me from seeing Mr. President. I’m seeing Mr. President. I told him when this incident occurred, I spoke to Mr. President on phone and followed it up. I know what it entails being a president. Even as governor most times I am not with my phone, people cannot access me the way it used to be, talk less of a president. I didn’t say that and I have not said it. The truth is that I have access to Mr. President anytime I want, I speak to him on phone and I see him personally. I requested to speak to him on phone that day because I couldn’t come to Abuja and he gave me the opportunity and today I’m here and I have seen him.

On suggestion that full blown military operations be set up in Benue like other places

Anything that can stop the killings of my people, I will go for it, I support it. Any policy or any directive, anything that will help stop the killing of these innocent people who are not armed, because this cannot continue. We know that the continuity of this will create greater challenges. I don’t want it to continue. We are struggling with economic issues, we are struggling with political issues and we are struggling with several other issues in this country, security issues and all that, Benue State should not be part of this; there is no need for it.

On allegation that the anti-open grazing law in the state is at the roots of the crisis

The law on prohibition of Open Grazing and Establishment of Ranching was made out of the necessity to ensure that we have peace for herdsmen and farmers and that is what we have done. The law seeks to protect all and as I talk to you, except this Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore who are instigating people to fight and to kill us, there are Fulani men in Benue State as I talk to you doing their business.

On allegation by the Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN Chairman, Benue State chapter, Garos Gololo, that the killings were in retaliation for the theft of 1,000 cows by some people in the state

You know that man is a liar. Gololo is a liar, he is a wanted man in Benue State, we don’t even know where he is. He stays somewhere and makes allegations. The other time, he said 1,000 cattle drowned and the herdsman decided to commit suicide by jumping into the river. He has not come out to justify what he said.

On FG’s idea of setting up colonies to solve the problem

I am waiting to be briefed about what colonies means, I don’t understand it and until I understand it…But like I keep saying, for us, the way forward is ranching and up til this time, I am talking to you, the way forward is ranching because is global best practice. And it is not just practised in other parts of the world, on African soil in Swaziland, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, almost all African countries that rear cattle, they ranch. So why can’t we do the same thing here? For the colony thing I don’t know what colony is.

On how many ranches his administration has created

It is not for me to create ranches. I know that as a farmer, I have one in my farm. And there are several other people who have. The permits are available for people who want to ranch their cattle to access land and begin to ranch. So it is free for everybody and that is the right way to go.
And since we started the implementation (of the anti-open grazing law), there has been relative peace amongst farmers and herdsmen. They were doing well until this militia coming from this Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore came and attacked us. And they are known, we know where they are. As I talk to you, they are in Tongua in Awe local government, that is where these people are camped and coming to attack people.

And it is taking a different dimension. Just yesterday (Monday) in Logo local government, mobile policemen that were deployed to Logo to keep vigil to protect the people and the land, these militia came, exchanged fire with them, caught two of them and slaughtered them like goats. Mobile policemen! They shot another one, macheted him and left him in the pool of his blood, but luckily, he did not die. We have taken him to the hospital, we are treating him. The other one that was declared missing was found today (Tuesday).

So when it gets to the level of militia killing security men who are armed and are trained to protect lives and property, is it not taking a dangerous dimension? Who is now safe?

It is a pity that all this is happening, what i do expect from them is for all (APC, PDP and Others) to put hands together to solve this security issues, rather than blame the other side .

Yoruba will resist 'Grazing Colonies', says ONAC

Ibadan, January 9, 2018

No inch of Yoruba territory must be ceded for ‘Cattle Colony’ by the State or Federal Governments, the Oodua Nationalist Coalition, (ONAC) warned on Tuesday in a statement issued at Ibadan.

The group accused President Mohammadu Buhari of promoting ethnic supremacy through his indifference to Fulani genocide and savage manslaughter.

“It is the first time in Nigerian history that the Federal Government will boldly and without shame support armed insurgents and murderers. This is the worst scene in recent human history that no one can ever forget in a hurry.” ONAC berated the Governor of Ondo State, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu for his support for the Fulani herdsmen. ONAC quoted Akeredolu as saying that he would not ban grazing at a time that 200 Ondo farmers have been sacked and some of them killed by Fulani herdsmen. This is the same state that Fulani herdsmen kidnapped a Yoruba former Presidential aspirant, Chief Olu Falae. This is the same state that Fulani rape and kidnapp innocent Ondo people without end. The Ondo Governor is dancing to the tune of Fulani dealers who funded his dubious election with billions of naira at the cost of the dignity and heritage of Yoruba people.

“It is clear from Akeredolu’s statement that after selling his own conscience, he does not care about selling the entire future of the people of Ondo state for pittance. But this era will pass and treacherous leaders will soon account for their ignominy.”

The Pan Yoruba group said any attempt to cede any Yoruba territory in the traditional Yoruba homes of Ogun, Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Akoko Edo, Itsekiri, Kwara and Kogi States is an invitation to anarchy. ONAC said any governor that harbours “Cattle Colonies” in Yoruba territory is inviting mayhem and bloodletting.

We caution that land in Yorubaland is not a free enterprise. Land is owned by families and traditional communities. It is not conceivable that these lands will be hijacked by the Federal Government to benefit a few armed groups parading themselves as pastoral Fulani. The question we should ask is this: Can the Fulani land in Sokoto and Zamfara be taken over by the Federal Government and handed over to Yoruba cocoa farmers?

“We warn South West States never to allow grazing routes or Cattle colonies in any Yoruba territory. This will amount to using the Nigerian state machinery to commit atrocious crime against the indigenous Yoruba people. It is a conscious attempt to impose Fulani tyranny and conquest by other means on the Yoruba people”, ONAC said in a statement signed by its Deputy Chairman, Mr Olalekan Akinduro. ONAC is a coalition of several Pan Yoruba groups.

The group said rearing of cattle is a private business and that it is curious about the over protectionist posture of the Federal Government when Nigeria is a capitalist state that encourages individual initiatives provided such does not undermine the freedom and survival of others. ONAC said the acrimonious nature of Fulani herdsmen make them a dangerous specie to any society. " They destroy biodiversity, burn down trees, forests, natural stream and estuaries apart from encouraging migration of fellow Fulanis in large numbers from other countries other than Nigeria. The colonies will create permanent settlements for them on tje long run. This will affect the demography of Nigeria, the cultural homogeneity of Yoruba homestead and impact on electoral politics of Yoruba territories. The danger is that having turned these territories to colonies, they will, on the long term become political communions and occupied terrirories legitimized under the Nigerian legal system. It is a clear plot to increase Fulani population in Nigerian indigenous homeland for long term political conquest. The violence is orchestrated to cow and intimidate Nigerians into cowardly submission.

ONAC said the Fulani herdsmen and the associated menace is not just a problem of trade, but also “a phenomenon of Islamic extremism, cultural imperialism and expansionist plot” clothed in the images of commerce.

“We are not deceived. We have seen this over and over since the 1804 Jihad. The plot of the Fulani is to conquer by force the indigenous territories. What has happened is that the advent of democracy has jeopardized the primitive agenda of the Fulani, the way out to achieve their agelong agenda is to hide under the guise of pastoralism.

Signed

Olalekan Akinduro.

It is a pity that in this game of the throne, The masses are the one suffering. You specifically listed there names in other to justify Fulani herdsmen killings. You sent out gun men to kill your brothers so as it will look as if Fulani heardmen are the ones that are attacked first. You kill just to encourage more killing by Fulani. I mean you Vampire Buhari . Biafrans never go weary of the struggle These northerners are Animals we can't just be with

U need to know that u and ur people almost resemble monkeys and apes than Hausa fulani, 78 percent of u are extra ordinarily super ugly just a face like anus,to be fair some of ur women are indeed beautiful but they are the unlucky ones because they better go marry Hausa fulani thatn u educated animal.

Whenever a debate abt some insane matter is raised u come foreward with excuses that u are educated,i dont believe a man that eats flies and human to be educated at all,and mind u the wise men never say they are wise its other people. We also dnt want to live with u people bkos we really hate the spermy smell ur body carries,u can not smell it bkos its ur body but even if am asleep and u come passing by some meters i can identify u by ur unique smell of alcohol and bush meats lastly u dnt need to reply bkos am not use to reading replies at all since 2011 on nairaland,so its a waste of time if u do
