I am not going to deny that we don't have herdmen that kill, they most times kill when their lives are threatened, i have seen firsthand when a farmland was cleared by cows but the issue was solved before it led to conflict, why are people not after the pathway for solution rather war and most times i blame the press for igniting that tension.

Many death would have been avoided if the press didn't first create the impression of so called killer herdmen

And I have never seen a cow herd in Kano slaughtered by yoruba beans sellers who come to the north to buy beans?

A broken Nigeria is better off

Let us divide by any means necessary.
This contraption ain't working

Stop listening to Nnamdi kano

The whole reports are fake news according to thebosstrevor1

When you defend, fear God!

You are the one that need to fear God anything you spread fake news about a particular group.

You are more interested in death to the fulani people rather how to solve this issue.

If all fulanis are killed today and even if grazing is stopped, do you think it will solve insecurities in Nigeria....No.

I know the damage herdsmen have done in Kwara. I love Nigeria more than you do.

Herdsmen and bandits should stop the menace.

I dont need to listen to Nnamdi Kanu to draw my conclusions . I am old enough to believe in the devolution of Nigeria.

Nigeria should dissolve by any means necessary

This is not about loving Nigeria but telling the truth and that is one of the principles of journalism, you report news without bias.

The job of a reporter or journalist is to report not put out properganda or incite violence on a particular group

Most of the times, most news are exaggerated to create tension

Pls ask them, what do they exactly want.

If we really want to breakup Nigeria must it be by inciting violence.

Government needs to regulate online media or else there will be no Nigeria.

Most of you people spreading disinformation online, when real war breaks up will you be able to withstand the brutal inter tribal conflict.

The type of war that will come if we continue to promote violence will be worst than the civil war, every ethnic group will face each other and massacre themselves, the owners of these online media will be in Ghana and various countries reporting on your death.

No civil war can be worse than the biafra civil war, in a situation where the North, middle belt, and South West United to eliminate Easterners that was the worst civil war in Africa 3 million innocent people died , that amount of deaths never happened anywhere on this continent the deaths in Rwanda never reached 3 million

Nigerian second civil war will be the easiest one to end, everyone will return to its own region and form a country of their own, nobody will fight for one Nigeria again

I understand, but no smoke without fire.

Online media are spreading lot of FAKENEWS and disinformation while inciting violence.

Most of the stories about herdmen are FAKENEWS.

Most crimes are done by indigenes but then they look for scapegoats to put the blame on .

Who told you that such crimes are perpetrated by indigenes ?. When there were complains, why wasn't our president proactive?

I should presume it's the media that's clamping Buhari's mouth shut?

Get out!!


Useless woman.

Where were you when your president was filling his cabinet with incompetency?

Useless woman.

thebosstrevor1:
Stop acting like it is only herdmen killing people..most crimes are done by indigenes, stop putting blames on herdmen

But how did the word "herdsmen"become a recurring decimal in the matter?

TooMuchStuff:
Very happy that you are kept where you belong.

Don't like hypocrites like Kadaria who was openly partial in her moderation of presidential debates in favour of Buhari who couldn't debate on his own with other contestants

Oil dey ya head ma nigger.

You are a bias northerner, just like your elite . When fulani strikes , you & ur kind pretend not to hear about thier atrocities or claim ignorance but when people try to defend themselves you come up with your stupid and useless epistle of how the media should not report happening about their evil activities .. you northerners are arrogant and very silly . Do you think these people that are being killed and maimed are not human beings or people without families? . Please direct your message to your killer kinsmen who are all over the nation, killing and maiming people so that thier cows can feed . Have you bothered to ask urself why The Whole country is lamenting about the Fulanis' atrocities ? Are they the only ethnic group in Nigeria ? Pls go preach to your killers kinsmen and tell them to behave themselves and respect thier host community .. No matter how you try to advocate for media not to report the evil activities of your killers kinsmen , it will not stop people from defending themselves, since the Federsl govt and the military are backing them up .Use this opportunity to think about these injustice and ask yourself if you can be at peace with Urself with this injustice happening all over the place cause by your own people.
You &Elite are always fond of digging ur head In the sand and never acknowledge the evil of the Fulani headmen but you are the first to preach on how every one has a right to live anywhere .. The arrogance of the North will end one day . Sey Buhari will not be there for ever ? You guys should continue killing innocent Nigerians and telling the media not to report it calling them fake news. Nonsence .

Tell me about this

Tumbulum:

Those in government keep on fanning the ember, with all the useless press statements.

My message to the Nigerian media

By Kadaria Ahmed

It is with a heavy heart, worry about Nigeria and a sense of impending doom that I am sending this message to my colleagues in the media .

Let me begin with a question, what exactly will we gain if Nigeria descends into war? How does it advance us, if our fellow citizens turn on each other and begin large scale ethnic killings, against each other? Let me even assume that a few of us don't believe in Nigeria anymore and want to see it broken into its constituent parts. How does enabling ethnic strife help achieve this objective in a way that guarantees the outcome you want?

For sometime now, many of us have thrown away the book on ethical reporting, propelled by emotion, we have betrayed every moral consideration that assigns our noble professsion a role so significant we are seen as the last hope of the common man, so much so our jobs are constitutionally protected.

Despite numerous examples that exist which have proved, including not too long ago in Rwanda, that the conduct of the media can help in, promoting, starting and perpetuating violence and ethnic strife, we have turned a deaf ear to pleas to not become a tool that enables hate.

But we have failed to heed these warnings.

We have given platforms to the worst among us, the extremists and the blood thirsty. We have turned militia leaders and criminals into champions. Instead of us to lead calm and rational discuss on the existential challenges we face with a view to promoting actionable solutions, we have succumbed to hysteria and the next exciting click bait headline.

And yet for many of us, especially media owners, this place called Nigeria has been relatively good .

This country has given many of us more opportunity than the majority of our fellow citizens. We have reaped a bountiful havest from this place. We have done so well that, if God forbid, this country is consumed, and chaos reigns, many of us will hop on a plane and bugger off to the many different countries abroad where our families live in peace, even though they are not native to those places.

We will run off and leave our foot soldiers, our reporters and headline writers, who we allowed maybe even ecouraged to go down this path to navigate a country at war, alone and perhaps without the ability to fully protect their families both immediate and extended from the horrors that will follow.

And there is no doubt it will be horrific. The play book is written and tested. We saw it in Sierra Leone, in Liberia, in Rwanda and more recently in South Sudan and the Central African Republic.

There will be killings in the thousands, limbs will be chopped off with machettes, women and girls will be raped, food will be scarce, fear will reign. The most brutal among us will take charge. And their word will be law. They will not tolerate journalists who try to hold them accountable.

And these horrors will not always come from the bogeyman we have been at great pains to create and project. It will come from the militia leaders fighting to take control of our neigbohoods and increasingly scarce resources. This is not a film script. This is the reality of war.

Our job is to hold power accountable and it is exactly what it should be.

The focus on those in charge, especially President Muhammadu Buhari, should be relentless and loud and insistent.

But when the killings happen and they seem to have already begun, it is not the President's family, nor that of his Ministers nor indeed anyone with any kind of serious influence that will mostly die.

It is regular folks, people already forced to travel and move in order to eke out a living , settlers, across all of Nigeria.

The ignoble role we are now playing in bringing this country to chaos is at odds with most of our history. We have always being the ones Nigerians could rely on to lift our voices, together for the betterment of this country.

Our proud history of fighting colonialist masters, carried on with the fight against military dictatorship, to standing up to civilian governments that tried to perpetuate themselves in office.

I don't know at which point we decided that a focus on ethnic profiling despite the repeated warnings about where this leads, would be a good idea.

So here we are today about to be consumed by the hate we have stoked.

They will write about us , just as they wrote about our colleagues in Rwanda. That we fanned the flames of ethnic hate, and enabled them consume our country.

They will write about us in the first person, because we live in a digital age and the internet never forgets and records last forever. They will identify us individually, and sooner or later a few of us will end up before an international court.

What we do today and what will count is whether we had the courage associated with our profession to buck the trend, jump off the bandwagon and do what is right instead of getting swept away by the moment, forgotting ourselves and the ethics that should guide us all .

In the end, we all die, but while we live, we write our legacy. It is not too late to make it one that saved our country from the brink.

I didn't know you had a solution, now advise Buhari to solve the problem bedevilling the peaceful North-western states where parents now donates their daughter to apease bandits.

Oh, you really didn't have any solution, you want a media blackout while your brothers kill unrestricted in the name of peace.

Many death would have been avoided if the press didn't first create the impression of so called killer herdmen

Many deaths would have been avoided if the criminals behave.
