Very silly deliberate misinterpretation of a statement accredited to Myetti Allah; what is even more annoying and irresponsible was the fact that many of the Newspapers were carrying the same untrue narrative in their headlines that the MACABN had taken responsibility for the killings - since when did giving an explanation for the cause of an incident amount to taking responsibility for it?

GMBuhari:
Hello coolscott , Good morning , you wrote very nice things but as expected of LiePob, you added a twist

Following that Logic, then The reprisal killings MAYNOT have happened, it could have been propaganda right ??

It's not may have , It happened, there is video and virtually all news papers in Nigeria wrote about it , so it happened,

When it happened i knew there would be reprisal attack , Fulani values their cow lot more than anything else ... Jos youths killed 38 cows on june 6th, Fulani were responsible enough to call Police to help them rescue 15 COWS that means Jos youths attempted to kill 53 cows

Now i am not saying the reprisal on Jos is deserved and no cow should be worth human lives, but in reality we all know this was going to happen, i had expected leaders in Barkin Ladi community to go to Miyetti Allah , call for dialogue and resolve it , but silence as they say is consent , at least from Fulani/ Miyetti Point of view .



I haven't read of Miyetti Allah taking responsibility but if they did , I do not think Police, DSS will want to arrest anyone because Miyetti Allah group have some very powerful members and patrons including Jonathan, i do not see anybody getting arrested , this issue will have to be settled amicably , You may quote me to insult me but this is not presidential pardon, Unless the individuals who carried out the attack can be found , Government won't clamp down on Miyetti Allah, there would be consequences, especially since some people's interest is to bring Buhari's government down by all means


Finally , you all need to change your mentality , if you believe Buhari is sponsoring / allowing herdsmen free hand they have , how do you explain the sponsorship of the incidents since 1999 it got worse under Jonathan


Buhari has nothing to do with herdsmen, He is not a member of Miyeti Allah the only fault Buhari has is that he is a Fulani man , which does not justify your claim

EVIDENCE OF HERDSMEN ATTACKS , JUST READ AND THEN TELL ME WHO SPONSORED THEM

Williamso:
I normally try not to get involved in internet name calling. But did you actually read this before posting? The fact that you can even remotely justify the killing of humans due to the death of cattle makes you no better than the criminals carrying out these crimes.

I don't care what tribe you are: There is no justification whatsoever for taking an innocent life like this

coolscott:
My dear, I only added that part because I was not furnished with much info on the alleged killing or stealing of the cows. But...

... If when you steal 2 of my goats I just walk over to your house and kill 2 or 3 of your children, I must be joking if I think I can absolve myself of murder by announcing to everyone "He killed my goats first!"..

CaptJeffry:
I condemn in strong terms the killing of their cows, their means of livelihood but revenging the deaths of cows by killing humans is barbaric. They have their goons in the security circle and I believe that if they had reported the killing of their cows to the police, those killers of the cows would've been fished out and justice served on them.

Rolings:
But when similar situation you painted happened in adamawa and the killers of Fulani were sentenced to death didn't y'all say it's islamization because Christians were sent to death? Didn't CAN and other Christians say it's part of islamization agenda?
The genesis of all these killings is INJUSTICE.
A farmer whose crops was destroyed doesn't get justice so also is a herdsman whose cattle is slaughtered or rustled gets no justice so everyone has resorted to self help.
Let justice prevail without bias and all the killings will stop

coolscott:
But is is sad that you do not know that if people cried foul, it is because Fulanis had been killing Benue people and Adamawa people for months on end, and none of the killers where caught (the execution of the law became dead). But when the Fulanis was killed (by people taking the law in their own hands because the govt has grossly failed to enforce its own laws and prescribed justice) the law became fully alive.

abdulaliyu25:
you kill people’s cow they report no action was taking you kill them when they are trying to rescue their cows again nothing happens. so now they attack, peoples are shouting. y will they touch their cows in the first place if they want peace. please we should be using our sense when saying things i didn’t support any killings in nigeria and for what happens i really feel bad stop touching their cows and peace will regain.

Rolings:
It is sad that you chose which cases you will react to and chose not to react when Fulanis were involved only to wake up from your slumber only when Christians are affected. That is the religious and ethnic bias you should shy away from. For years Fulani have not gotten justice from Nigeria when they are being killed and their cows rustled. Many a times Fulani traces the rustlers to communities who shield those thieves the results is reprisal attacks. Also for a long time farmers have had their crops destroyed by cattle and they don't get justice and then resort to self help against the herders. I insist until there is justice for all parties involved no amount of intimidation from religious bigots and propaganda from tribal bigots will stop the killings

coolscott:
It is not important who reacts when.
It is important that ALL KILLERS be brought to book whether from Adamawa or Benue or Fulanis (even these fresh killers whose acts you feel okay lending your self to).

Anyway, we are not surprised with these your comments here, when we look at the kinds of threads you have on your profile here on NL

Rolings:
It's because I dare to be different and won't be carried away by the massive propaganda coming especially after Gej lost election. I lived in the areas these clashes are occurring and know a lot about the issues.

The root cause remain injustice to all sides

coolscott:
Now you're sounding like a clown. All Nigerians have moved beyond 2015 but you are still resting there.

They only remember it when they think that that was how they got themselves into this regrettable era.

Keep living in 2015 and see if anyone will have your time.
