If muslims were this outraged when Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen started we won't have all this bloodshed and chaos
Fake outrage, all the bringbackourgirls campaign that ONLY christian countries participated in,
No outrage from Saudi, UAE or Qatar,
A lot of charities servicing IDP's in Northern Nigeria are from western countries
Useless hypocrites

Useless write up. Why can't muslims protest the killings?? why are they dying in silence? it's not normal in some region to have people butchered,
And you keep putting Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen in quotes like they are not real entities,
By the time this mushrooms out of proportion, you would be begging westerners to come help you

Pharaoh001:
AGAINST WHO ARE 'CAN' PROTESTING IN CHURCHES ON SUNDAY?

Almost all the newspapers, electronic media and online news portals today were awash with the news of the arrest of the kingpin or mastermind of (most) of the killings that have been happening in Benue State under the cover of "Fulani Herdsmen", and the man is reported as a confirmed "Boko Haram" escapee who got appointed as Special Adviser to Governor Samuel Ortom!

Whatever motivated Governor Samuel Ortom to appoint him as his Special Adviser cannot be divined by me here, but it is very easy for me to wager that the killings in Benue State have been very profitable for four groups of people:

1. Governor Samuel Ortom who has nothing to show for his 2019 reelection campaign except to provoke sympathy votes on the basis of killings in his state by "Fulani Herdsmen"!

2. Closely following Governor Samuel Ortom in the benefits list are the " Burial Business Contractors" (BBC) in Benue State! There are allegations that mass burials have become a very profitable business in Benue State, especially in the wake of the well staged mass burial of the "71 coffins" said to be victims of "Fulani Herdsmen" attacks in January this year. It's alleged that Governor Samuel Ortom spent about 250 million naira for that particular mass burial. When you do your simple maths by dividing 250 million by 71 coffins you will know how much it costed to bury just one coffin!

So you can easily see that these Burial Business Contractors (BBC) will want this "profitable" business to continue just like those who sell coffins on the roadsides always want people to die so that they can sell!

3. The third group on the benefits list are the chronic ethno-religious bigots who will always clutch at any straw or any sinking debris to let off steam temporarily by venting their bigotry and lies against President Muhammadu Buhari as the architect and head of the killings in their "Christian Middle Belt". To this group, the killings by "Fulani Herdsmen" in Benue State or the Middle Belt did not start 9 years ago but started immediately Buhari became President in May 2015! And to them also, if Fulanis are butchered in Taraba or Adamawa or burnt alive in the same Benue State it doesn't matter, and neither does it matter that people (Muslims) are also being killed by the same killer squad in Zamfara, Katsina and Jigawa states!

4. The fourth group on the benefits list is the marriage alliance of the PDP and CAN.... In this instance, CAN here represents the National Association of PDP Pastors (NAPDPP) whose footsoldiers are members of Group 3 above! Having been beaten mercilessly and disgraced out of power in the 2015 presidential election, anything such as these killings will be exploited by them as a payback to those who disgraced them and deprived them of the juicy flow of stolen public funds!

So, I ask CAN: with the facts coming to light regarding the killings in Benue State and possibly other so called Middle Belt areas, who are they protesting against? Hypocrisy or self-deceit or self-delusion or all of that?

By the way, when "Boko Haram" bombs were blowing off hundreds of thousands of Nigerians to death, and the insurgents were capturing city after city; town after town, and village after village in northern Nigeria between 2012 to 2015, was CAN not aware to organize any protest against those mass killings or was the soul of CAN dead at that time and only got resurrected now?


You bet, these were the kind of people John the Baptist looked in the eye and said "You brood of vipers...."

Cham Faliya Sharon

Do Nigerians even realize they are the poorest people in the world?

You seem really sure, can you enlighten me? it looks like we are still stuck on loans despite all the rosy news from the government
The economy isn't diversifying, we seem to be looking for more oil in the north
7% of the budget on education, roughly the same amount requested to buy jets and bombs
And while you are at it what is Buhari's manifesto for his 2nd term?

Butterflyleo:
Absolutely YES!

Omololu2121:
Bayelsa state has no business with poverty with the sort of revenue they earn and few population.
I don't think they are up to 2.5m,the ijaws in bayelsa would have been living like kings and queens if they start voting in the right people

Same goes for Nigeria as a whole

Was it his economic policies that won you over?

Butterflyleo:
I am a southwesterner and did not vote for him in the last elections but he has won over my vote so I don't know what you are saying.

Buhari is at least 83,

LMAO Already going on the defensive??

HigherEd:
I know some of the "build industry" crew would soon start landing here. Pls jejely face ur govt, much of the money building Nigerian churches aren't even exclusively provided by Nigerians by the way.

Churches build Hospitals, Schools and Orphanages not industry. Churches don't collect allocation from govt so don't presume you can tell them what to spend on.
Lalasticlala

And then in his 2nd term he would take Nigeria digital and unleash his brilliant economic policies right?
Lets celebrate our 76 years old president who we don't know his manifesto because it makes wailers mad
Coz once wailers are mad, things automatically get better for us
It's a good day to be a Nigerian youth

QuitNotice:
Buhari always ahead of their plan. This amiable man is the slayer of the wailers The more they hate, the more he shines. The results of the 2019 presidential polls will be the last nail to wailers' coffin

Hhehehe when northerners rule, intellectuals suffer

“In 2011, Buhari sent Tony Momoh to me that he was coming to meet the leaders of Lagos in my palace by 1pm, he came by 3pm and said he was delayed by bad roads and traffic. I told him he caused it because he cancelled the metro line of Lagos State in 1984. I told him I would not tell Lagos people to vote for him.

“But in 2015 when he came, it was on a Friday, he came with my son, Bola Tinubu, and I noticed that for 20 minutes it rained. It occurred to me that God is going to favour this man.

PLEASE YOUTHS GET YOUR PVC AND VOTE IN A YOUTH JUST READ WHAT THESE OLD MAN IS SPEWING IN 2018, FIRST HE ADMITS BUHARI CANCELLED THE METRO LINE (PROBABLY BECAUSE HE IS A BIGOT) SECONDLY, BECAUSE IT RAINED NOT BECAUSE BUHARI HE HAS ANY CAPACITY TO DO ANYTHING FOR NIGERIA HE KNEW GOD WILL FAVOUR HIM, CHAI, A MAN THAT CALLS THE BIGTHIEF TINUBU HIS SON IS TO BE DISREGARDED

No protest when a thousand shia's were massacred,
But when it comes to Arabic on N100 Hijab issues, Jerusalem embassy you would see them salivate,
These muslims of yoruba extraction would sell their people out AGAIN
Can't you be muslims and stand by the truth?
Fulani takes care of fulani
Hausa takes care of Hause
Yoruba muslims foolishly wants to take care of all muslims before he thinks about his own linage
Learn from history fooooools, only one part of Nigeria has been expanding since recorded history began

We need to redefine the meaning of wealth in Nigeria, most people are very poor in spirit
cash is a poor man's money

Y'all live in an alternate universe
Buhari is a well known religious bigot,
command ko commander Ebeneezer Obey ni
oshi

NOETHNICITY:
Let the truth be told, Buhari commands an unusual level of respect among world leaders.
Hate him all u want, Bubu has that image that attracts honour and dignity to our country

Mehnnnn under APC police and military just dey misbehave

Yoruba wey dey support Buhari una dey hear?
Awon weyrey

Abeg make the world know say naija na blood letting zone,

Are they saying Boko Haram would be with us till 2020?

2019 gonna be bloody, Blood of baboons would flow

Hahaha Boko Haram 'protecting' people from the chaos they created, LMAO, the biggest problem with Islam in EVERY country is that there are always some fools who believe people are not muslim enough and the rich are quick to use them as weapons of death

Lol, tell that to the Shiite before you jump 200 miles to another religion, muslims don't seem to care about human life, but when it comes to stupid issues like Arabic inscription on N100 notes, hijab, Trump moving an embassy or a cartoon of muhammed being drawn muslims suddenly get outraged and protest. Arab Muslims didn't denounce ISIS until they started being killed, same with Northerners and Boko Haram
You can read from the comments some muslims are asking why christians didn't protest for muslim killings?? show us you value human life first!

12kad:
What u are portraying about Islam isn't it. Why will u say a sect has declared war on another sect. It's uncalled for. Islam is a religion of peace and tranquility. Before u can say anything about Islam, plz do ur research very well and don't base ur comment about Islam on hear-say.

If Nigeria has 24hr electricity, Religion would go down 80%, living in darkness is not easy

LMAO N10B on rice mills and people were rejoicing the foreign reserves hehehehe
The youths are dumbed down

Oh shut up dude, lets call a spade a spade, the northern politicians are the most corrupt and heartless in a very corrupt and heartless Nigeria, this is a model of majority of the schools in the Northern LGA's, in fact they actively encourage their kids not to go to school, because most don't believe in it and this is pre Boko Haram, as an example, what happened to all the schools Johnathan's admin built for the North? some were converted to Town Halls and such foolishness.
If you want to give the Northern education system credit, it might be for the recitation of the koran, and handing over poor kids to Islamic teachers who send them out to beg, they are quite good at that.

A lot of Northern States are examples of failed states, of course that doesn't mean there are no ''suburbs'', but there is almost zero middle class

zicoraads:
This narrative is both myopic and shallow. And I am tired of seeing it on Nairaland. This problem is a general problem in the country. The problem is, some of you have never travelled down North, and will never do so in your entire lives. You rely on these negatives to paint the entire region as terrible.

That is why an ignorant educated female will see me in Lagos and would almost instantly have a prejudiced opinion of me. Not realizing I may be far more exposed, educated and traveled than she is.

Not realizing my siblings and family have traveled the world. To her myopic view, I am in need of pity.

I have been to several states in this country. Our educational system is a mess. Go down East, you'll find schools like these. The same thing down West and South. But no, it is only a Northern problem.

Illiterates!

When would the youth become wise??
Fighting for these same old foools that ruined Nigeria
The youth have lost self belief in themselves that they shoot down any youth trying to aspire
Out of all the old fooools mentioned, who is innovative enough to introduce solar/wind power to the grid? introduce robotics to schools? eradicate blackboards? digitize schools?
Same old analogue brains in a digital age.
USELESS ILLITERATE YOUTHS VOTING ILLITERATE LEADERS, UNA MUMU NEVER DO AWON OLOSHI

Like blk HL like Blu HL, useless peeps

Because he exposed Johnathan? lol

spartan117:
Take this ugly propaganda dude called sowore and shove him somewhere.

I can't trust someone that like him

Even if we break into a million pieces, the youth would sooner or later have to fight the cabal that re-forms itself, no running away from it

yeyerolling:
Dead on arrival. There is bo unity in nigeria. Can the SW North,SE,SS youth agree. SW is happy with one nigeria, north same thing and would support religion over competence, SE dont care or want biafra, SS wants resource control. Nigeria needs a revolution and everyone goes his own way. If after 104 years der is no unity den forget it

Mehn there is still love in some parts of Nigeria oo, people be risking their lives for a dude on a suicide mission, kudos to the helpers

You are poor in cash and in spirit, so you don't mind other's being like you, typical crab in a barrel
Reasonable Nigerians would continue to fight for an increment in the living wage of workers
Die if you want to die

That's how you exhibit stupid*ty!

What is the GDP per capita, you're giving me GDP? Anuofia!

Answer the questions:

* What is the GDP per capita of SA?

If you can't answer these questions, don't quote me again.

M*ron!

-Lord

If Benue people only knew it was already happening in Central African Republic, the christians took up arms years ago and drove out all the muslims in the villages then they had some peace, sadly it's happening in Nigeria again
