By now every southern state is meant to have its own state sponsored and trained militia (even if surreptitiously so). These Fulanis are not to be dealt with with laws when there is no apparatus to bring them before the law! They must be met with force, on the basis of two eyes for an eye!

Wherever fulanis cross into southern territory in the possession of arms this must be considered a declaration of war should be treated as such.

Southern governors are sleeping.

In ekiti state measures has been taken to curve herders and farmers crisis and it was successful, why not benue? why ortom is always crying and blaming others for his failures in his capacity as c.s.o of benue state ? Nobody will help u till when rise up to help yourself or simply you are a drowning man as IG says.
My brother sorry to say this but I don't agree with you. Same thing is happening in Ekiti and Ondo state. it's more in Benue due to its proximity to the middle belt region where these fulanis migrate from. The man is doing what he knows best but the FG is not helping out.

. Benue and Ekiti are two different places . Benue happens to be their area of focus. The Gov has tried his best and it seams no solution from FG .Crying to UN is well in other. Being CSO of a state doesn't guarantee that you will fully control the police who are under the control of FG. I love his action. At least this would prove to the world the Fg can't curb the herdsmen menace

Reading through people's comments you will understand how bias we all are on this country. No one can see the fact and state it as it is. We always take sides. We are just a country so divided.

Governor cries to the U.N. for help!

Government in Nigeria seems to be on vacation.
Re: Benue Killings: Ortom Cries To UN For Help by NonsoWow: 1:26pm On Feb 15, 2018
Why crying to UN that is so far away and won't hear? The coward in benue should come down to Anambra state and cry to Obiano to teach him how to maintain peace in his state.

Reading comment on here makes me weep for my country, even as we all jointly condemn the Fulani menace, what is ortom doing/has done to curb/ future occurance being the chief security officer of the state? personally i think Ortom/ Buhari should resign, we need leaders that can think, as crazy as fayose is he had series of meetings with concerned parties i.e security personnel, local hunters, elders of communities and herdsmen. i watched festus Keyamo address this issue on channels tv and from what i can see Gov. Ortom is not/has not done much to help his people, i dont want to believe he trully armed militias, rather he should have organized civilian JTF.

Lagos ordinarily should be the most difficult/complex state to govern due to the convergence of virtually all ethnic groups in Nigeria and people of diffrent race, culture and religion, yet everything in lagos seems to be working fine. my point is, Ortom been the CSO has all he needed around him and still could not protect his people.

My opinion is Gov. Ortom is whipping sentiment to get sympathy for his re-election bid, he is seeking attention and indirectly heating the already heated polity, we need leaders that can think, technocrat dont give excuses for failure. but as usual we tend to look for who too blame for our very own mistakes.

Nigeria is a soverign state, i get infuriated when we seek help for everything we can do for ourselves, UN is aiding with Boko haram, HIV/AID, Sickel cell, diffrent grant and here we are asking for help again like we cannot think as a people, maybe the British needs to recolonise Africa again, we have no leaders.

When evil is supported, good deeds will flee the land

I do not pity Ortom, I pity the suffering Benue people.

Too bad sad

I will continue to shout. Governor Ortom, you have to go into a strategic alliance with the whole South - SE. SS and SW. Do that NOW.

Wawa's Ugwuanyi has taught Ortom how to cry because of cows! Shame! Obiano of Anambra would have taught him how to be a man and take charge of his state if only he had humbled himself and paid Awka a visit.

The level of carnage being perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen in Benue state can't be compared to the minor skirmishes taking place in Ekiti State
Re: Benue Killings: Ortom Cries To UN For Help by Nobody: 2:41pm On Feb 15, 2018
Him and his people will understand that UN works in favor of Muslims


Same man that laughed at IPOB for seeking the help of UN in the killing of Biafra protesters


Nnamdi Kanu said it: a time will come when they will be armed to kill you.... The international media will not carry it... That's why we established radio Baifra and Biafra tv

Nnamdi Kanu : a time will come when they will massacre you and the international organizations will do nothing to protect you... Our only chance is now, we have to leave this contraption called Nigeria

Nnamdi Kanu: Nigeria is a zoo and in a no distance time my people will understand what I mean....they will equip their people to kill you and they will be protected they did it before they will do it again because we are not the same ONE NIGERIA IS A SCAM

I just thank God that Ortom stood by his people.
I pray he survives this cause his life is at stake.
This is the first time in the history of Nigeria that a governor will be on the side of the people even in the face of present danger and political relegation.
Otorm is just playing to the gallery to make the world believe he is a good man who love his people when he has not paid his workers for over one year and no single meaningful development on ground to show since he was elected. In case you don't know, the backlog of salaries owed workers have killed more people than fulani herdsmen attacks.

[quote author=Troublemaker007 post=65087044][b]This Ortom of a Woman-man is just too weak for my likings, he should vacate that seat immediately and give it to someone more ruthless and brutal, someone who has guts to wipe out those herdsmen from Benue Soil before it is too late.
with which security and arms?
Fulani controlled police or fulani controlled army?

@iambijo.
Permit me to mention you. I appreciate your sense of maturity and self-control. Many people quickly give in to outbursts of anger when the feel they have been harshly attack. But you have shown patience in the face of a harsh comment earlier in the post. Please, continue that way. People like you will make some of us change our perception of your people.

I have gone through your posts here, and I wish to comment on some of the points you have raised.

The Ekiti State situation is different from what we have here in Benue State. In Ekiti State, the herdsmen neither rejected nor resisted compliance with the Law. To a large extent, they have obeyed. Here in Benue State, the herdsmen did not only reject the Law, they openly vowed to resist its implementation, and also threatened attacks should the Law be implemented.

The question then is: Why choose to obey the same Law in Community A but reject it in Community B? Well. the herdsmen openly laid claims to ownership of Benue State. This news is in the public domain. It is not a figment of my imagination. You can check the following links: http://
www.nairaland.com/3832893/fulani-herdsmen-lay-claim-ownership#57067891
and
https://dailytimes.ng/fulani-herdsmen-lay-claim-ownership-benue-valley-vow-mobilise-herdsmen/

This can also be understood from the recent interview granted by Professor Umar Labdo. See the link: dailypost.ng/2018/01/18/benue-belongs-fulani-herdsmen-right-conquest-prof-muhammad/

So you see, the whole scenario in Benue State is different. It goes deeper than what one would ordinarily think. It's not just about Open Grazing Law.

And let me point it here clearly: the Security Agencies have not hidden their biasness in this Benue issue. You can Google comments by Defence Minister and IGP on the situation in Benue. It's very unfortunate.

Thanks once again for your sense of maturity and understanding. You are totally different from many of your people on this forum.
