I will understand TY Danjuma's outrage if he was referring to the killings in Benue where the herdsmen are more of culprits than victims. But talking about Taraba where Danjuma's people massacred about 700 fulanis including women and children is absurd to say the least.

The Taraba anti-Fulani pogrom was so barbaric that the military commander GOC Ben Ahanotu, who is Igbo and Christian, confessed to have never seen such 'gruesome devastation' in his entire military career. Children were hacked to death and even pregnant wombs were not spared.

Fulani leaders, through the emir of Kano have since submitted a report with evidence detailing the extent of the destruction on Fulani lives and properties, with video evidence of how officials at the state level (who are Danjuma's people and political boys), aided and abetted the genocide. Danjuma's failure to leverage on his relationship with Buhari to stop the investigations precipitated his outburst.

Danjuma claimed he is not a politician, but Taraba politics have turned this once brilliant soldier and elder statesman into a bigoted politician of the worse kind. We have seen the role he played during the tragedy that befell Danbaba Suntai in his bid to stop Danbaba's Muslim deputy from succeeding his dying and incapacitated boss.

In their desperate efforts to stop Buhari from re-contesting, leaders like Danjuma, Obasanjo and Babangida are eager to destroy a country that has given them everything. Their patriotism only goes as far as their individual self-interests. Given the right political temperature and pressure, those guys have tolerated the worst assault on Nigeria's sovereignty.

What Danjuma and company should understand is, Buhari may go either before, during or after his second term, but Nigeria will always remain. It is the country that gives them everything that will be there to deal with the consequences of their bigoted politicization of national security problems.

The Nigerian military is the sole remaining symbol of Nigeria's unity and neutrality, with its officers and men fighting together, winning, losing, dying and surviving together. By seeking to undermine that institution, Danjuma is directly biting the finger that fed him. At least, the army today is more neutral and less political than the one he commanded after the civil war.

Calling for communities to rise against the state in defense of themselves is an invitation to anarchy and insurrection. No community will be able to do so in a country where chaos and disorder (as Danjuma is preaching) are the order of the day. Ethnic militias will only lead to a vicious cycle of violence that will leave our people more divided, our societies more destroyed and our country more backward.

Nigeria's problems anywhere are Nigeria's problem everywhere. An attack against one single community should be regarded as an attack against all Nigerian communities. No single Nigerian community can enjoy peace in isolation. It is either we survive together or perish together.

Sirjamo:
Buhari is doing his best, and I pray he's able to stop these killings as soon as possible. However, whoever thinks that pmb is on any ethnic cleansing mission is more foolish than Nnamdi KANU and Ojukwu combine. History has it that the Fulani killed more people when Jonathan held sway, was he also on ethnic cleansing mission against his Christian fellows and other Nigerians? it's obvious those useless and corrupt retired old cargoes have all decided to gang up against pmb in order to remove him, but they can never succeed as long as pmb does not commit any atrocity against the good people of this country, they are just wasting there time.

hatchy:
You people should stop wasting your time advising the Federal government on this issue.

Moreover,Buhari,the terrorist-in-chief will never hear since he has infectious ears.
He will never stop executing the evil agenda of exterminating and ethnic cleansing of other tribes by his foot soldiers till he leaves office.

May Ogun and Amadioha strike down all those including the Fulani President who thrive on the blood of their fellow country men.

Meanwhile the idiot that banned me in this forum because i criticised the idiotic and blood sucking Buhari will grow 92 set of teeth before this month end.
May you pick,live and feed from the dust bin before end of the year.

Babacele:
which history? During PDP second incarnate as NPN under Shagari, a terror group called Maitasenne (like Book Haram) unleashed mayhem on some part of the country. It was a bold officer who confronted ,defeated and drove maittasene out of Nigeria. His name is Gen Muhammadu Buhari. So what history are you talking about? History of how worst killings happened under PDP? or how PDP allowed Chibok kidnappers to escape? or history of how Dasuki and co stole defence budgeting thereby sabotaging our national security and frustrating the fight against terrorism ? So which history sir?

TrumpedL:
A lot of people are yet to understand that the meaning of good governance is relative across ideological divides of Nigeria. To a typical Yoruba/Igbo/Hausa/Idoma/Ijaw etc, good governance might be provision of good policies, infrastructure development, etc whereas a typical fanatical yoruba/hausa/fulani/ebira/igbo might see good governance as government that promotes fulani domination of other tribes/beliefs/way of life, etc

Stop using your own personal standard/expectations to judge Buhari and his supporters. The definition of good governance differs

Sirjamo:
One can only hope and pray that one way or another, the security situations improve. All our security agencies as currently constituted can not realistically protect 180 million people. Unless we want to continue deceiving ourselves, we don't have the capacity to deal with Boko haram, Fulani herds men, kidnapping and armed robbery etc simultaneously with an annual defence budget of less than a trillion naira whoever is the President. That is why I believe it will be easier to get those killers and their cows out of circulation by way of providing ranches for them.

achiever12:
His name was Idiagbon. Stop deceiving yourself. Buhari is liverless. If not for idiagbon, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

BlowBack:
Buhari can't hear you or Danjuma as he is currently listening to glorious Jihadist inspired Islamic tunes downloaded straight from ISIS official website

saaron:
By the way, there are numerous cases were Real ID cards of soldiers in military service were recovered from scenes of fulani terrorist herders attack! Nothing so far was done to the soldiers and they are still in service.

Babacele:
how can you be arrogantly ignorant! Buhari wasn't the head of state when he crushed Maitasane ,so how did Idiagbon come in? So how? just ask around before you reply to cure your misinformation.

lilytender:
This one is another unfortunate child. Why were you cursing your generations in the last paragraph??

biggy26:
Don't you know that impoverishing the people is an atrocity. Killing businesses is an atrocity. Allowing killers go unpunished is an atrocity.....what more atrocity do u want to see before you know your god is a failure?
Mind you, pmb is one those old cargoes you referred to. And it is Nigerians that have ganged up against him not just the generals.

achiever12:
So, you don't know about idiagbon? Then you must be an incurable ignoramus. No wonder you comment like you've lost touch with your brain. Go back to the books of history and cure yourself of this stupid ignorance before it ruins you

Babacele:
who was the commanding officer, 3rd armoured division, Jos, under Shagari, who defeated Chadian forces,kala kato before becoming C-In-C? Idiagbon? go ahead and tell your children that.
....

achiever12:
And how come Babangida couldn't depose Buhari until Idiagbon went for hajj? Boy, try to use your head once in a while

And what impact had his make-believe war records have on Nigeria since he became president, other than globally proclaimed and acclaimed vissionless leadership?

Boy, you need to start using your brain lest you lose it completely

Babacele:
what is the relationship between Babangida and idiagbon to defeating insurgency under Shagari? I'm wasting my time with you. Go ahead and tell those lies to your children and they can tell theirs too.

achiever12:
And that same presumed power you allot to Buhari suddenly disappeared these days, abi?

Babacele:
it is better than those who sabotaged our military, assassinated Azazi ,and submitted our defence budgets to Dasuki and co.... as simple as that.

achiever12:
So the modus operandi of Buhari, like cluelesssness, visionlessness, lack of focus, bribing national assembly, protecting corrupt officials, clannish inclination, murder and bloodshed, disconnection from masses and so on are different from the ones you listed up there?

Tell that to your children and they will place a curse on you.

Babacele:
out of two evils saner minds would always choose the lesser one...

achiever12:
First of all, it is good you agreed that Buhari is an evil man. At least, it looks like your case is not totally hopeless.

Secondly, will you call sectionalism, clannish-inclination and ethnic bigotry by the president of a country, a better evil?!

Believe me, your children will curse you for being a useless and blind father if you ever respond in the affirmative.
