Point of correction esteemed Nobel Laureate, Buhari did not declare IPOB a terrorist organization because he lacks the power to do so. It was a legitimate court of law with legal jurisdiction who did so. IPOB are terrorists.

The guy above me first me comment. i have given up on bn the first....


Anyway sha! This is what happens when the people ruling you did not go to school. Ipod dont have guns or bombs but are terrorists infact they are deemed national threat to this country.

Whereas the people carrying new Ak47 are your friends and people making this country one.

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for allegedly treating killer herdsmen with kid gloves.

Soyinka, while speaking at the Ripples Nigeria Dialogue in Lagos, on Thursday, charged the president to declare herdsmen terrorists.

“We expect the president to have the courage to declare such monsters as terrorists and enemies of humanity with the same dispatch in which he declared the far less violent, albeit, disruptive IPOB terrorists. We expect a culture of even-handedness”, he said.

“I have always refrained from labelling the herdsmen as Fulani but since they have publicly come out to admit they are responsible for the killings, we can say they are Fulani herdsmen.

“An organisation has been rampaging the nation armed to the teeth and descending on innocent people. Their spokesman appeared on TV, unrepentant, distorting history, calling on a state government to rescind their laws and proceeding to defy such laws.

“They went ahead and threatened continuation of the same acts of degradation. The nation has been placed on the defensive simply because of the failing of governance.

“Have you ever encountered a more cynical rendition of the sequence of events when spokesmen of this same organisation came out to say the killings were taking place because of the laws which was made to stop the killings in the first place?

“I have not heard that the leaders of that group have been summoned the way those who do far less things would have been summoned. Nigeria is not the first country to experience natural disasters but this is not an excuse to take guns to destabilise other peace-loving people in their communities.

“While addressing the victims of the rampage of Fulani herdsmen, the minister of defence asked the victims what they wanted the herdsmen to do when the grazing routes for their cattle were being blocked and that minister is still in Buhari’s cabinet.

“I get impatient when I hear people say that Buhari failed to sympathise with victims in Benue and Taraba. Who needs presidential sympathy? Is it sympathy that will re-order their broken lives? We are talking about security of lives and property and bringing perpetrators to book.

“We expect the government to respond with massive punitive action when the fundamental security of a people is violated. We expect the president to immediately show up at the scene of these disasters and order his troops into action against these arrogant and blood thirsty people.

“When stung by the criticism that the president rather chose to attend a wedding in Kano instead of being present in Dapchi, presidential apologists said the wedding was a needed therapy for the trauma caused by the abduction of the schoolgirls in Dapchi. That statement is blasphemous.

“There were so many formula that would have been adopted to ensure that the couple had their wedding without the accompanying exhibition of lavishness so soon after a national tragedy. The nation was in mourning and Buhari would have told the couple that he was not obliged to be there,” Soyinka said.

Armed Fulani herdsmen slaughtering people are just common criminals. The real terrorists are unarmed IPOB who have never killed anyone ~ Federal Government

DoTheNeedful:
Which one is good morning? You think it's everyone that has this clannish and myopic "permanent friends and permanent enemies" mentality like some of you have? Soyinka has been a voice of activism in this country for more than 60 years; perhaps before your parents were born. He even believed in the Biafran cause when it was not popular to do so in Nigeria.

That he felt Jonathan didn't perform optimally and he moved against him in the last elections takes nothing from him. He, like many other millions of Nigerians felt Buhari could do better and they supported Buhari. What is the sin in that? Although Buhari is not doing any better.

You have to get it in your head that there was never a time where there was a permanent friend or foe in politics. It's always about interest to the politicians or about who the masses felt at a time that would do the job better. In making such decisions, mistakes are made but life continues .

stupidity is innate in your generation

Alariiwo:
In as much as I respect Soyinka as a person, he should realize there is a difference.between Ipob and the so called herdsmen.

2019 is around the corner and all of a sudden, herdsmen turned killers.
The Fulanis might no be as vocal as others but it is very unfair to brand them killers. It's just like branding all Igbos or Yorubas killers.

Ipob and Kanu on the other hand, formed a group threatening to burn down the "zoo", running hate speeches on radio biafra amongst others.
Ipobs are more deadly if you ask any sane human whereas the "herdsmen" might be political thugs or even Bokoharam members who knows.

Ipob could have called itself a youth setup and go about their agitations in a civilized manner but No, they threatened our sovereignty as a nation so we can't keep mute while they continue disturbing our peace.
Moreover, their SE governors proscribed them first and also agreed that they are terrorists. So why the noise?

GoroTango:
So we should allow IPOB kill people before we proscribe their activities abi? We will not make the same mistaken like we did with boko Haram

Omeokachie:
Buhari is fighting insecurity

manny4life:
Yes, talk is cheap as usual. The media is the most powerful weapon to propagate hate and destruction, yet Nigeria isn't on fire like Somalia and Syria... Dude get the hell outta here man. Again, has Biafran agitators which according to you, used media to propagate hate been violent in their protest? Since they used media to incide their followers to kill.... HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THEY KILLED? Terrorism is not what you use media to propagate, it's the action that constitute terror. Propagating hate speech is not terror, it's illegal and can be considered crime in certain places; I can tell people to go an kill, that's not terror, but the moment I start blowing up buildings, murdering and maiming people for financial, political, religious or ideological aim, then you can call it domestic terror. Until you can prove to me how hate speech in itself is terror, dude you need to stop that Osogbo weed that you're on. Besides, didn't your precious Buhari utter hate speech prior to becoming president? IPOB are only terrorists in Nigeria, yet they're recognized by some international governing entities as a freedom fighting group... The truth will consume all of you.

There is something devilish about you yorubas. Really there is a lot of demonic thing doing you people

The only "devilish" people I see here are the likes of you, who rush to insult millions of people you never met because one individual says something you didn't like, even as you're commenting on a thread about Wole Soyinka - a Yoruba man - sticking his neck out to defend IPOB in a manner not one Igbo public figure has dared to! Only a blockheaded, irredeemably tribalistic brute could miss the absurdity of such a situation.

To be honest, the real blame here lies with Soyinka, for going out on a limb for people so hopeless that they can only ever repay his gestures with tribal insults. It doesn't matter to them that he went to jail for the cause of Biafran independence, or that he has consistently advocated for them when no others would (not even their own leaders), all that matters to these idi.ots is that he once thought Buhari might be better than an incompetent thief like GEJ, who in their eyes is a saintly figure despite delivering zero development to their region while allowing his wife to stuff her bank accounts with millions of Dollars in "donations". If Soyinka had merely kept his thoughts to himself, we wouldn't have this infuriating situation in which tribalistic ingrates pour insults at "Yorubas" on the occasion of one of the most famous Yoruba men in the world pleading their case!
