Reading the previous statement and this one makes me ask what's the difference between six and half a dozen

O mase o ....SMH

The man who brings home ant infested firewood should not complaint when lizards start to visit

Kogites...

But I hope this decision will be upturned by the good people of Kogi state.

His words: “The Federal Government has consistently told us that these Fulani herdsmen attackers are foreigners. They said the attackers are members of the Islamic State of West Africa, ISWA, who are on a jihad mission. If that is true, it then means that the government of Nigeria has failed us. But we are saying that enough of this bloodshed in our land.”

Why has the government not give a shoot at side order of these herdsmen terrorists to the military like was done in Ghana if truly they are foreigners

These jihadists are working in cahoot with their brothers in high places who keeps giving silly excuses to protect them.

madridguy:
Nigeria Army should be on standby because this guys can never be trusted for anything. Before you know it they start using the cutlass on street fighting and mere issues.

OPC is a responsible group committed to security of the people not a terrorist group like Fulani militia herdsmen.

The NA will be of urgent use to fight BH and Fulani marauders terrorising the middle belt.

Thanks to the bishops for saying it as it is.

It's still amazing some zombies believed a man who can't respect federal character as enshrined in the constitution can be of any good to this country.

There's no doubt Buhari is a bad leader and if not voted out he'll push the country into another civil war with his misgovernance.

This army is in a better position to handle these Fulani terrorists cos it's is beyond the police but if they must be involved then provision of armored tanks is necessary like the officer requested.

The headline got me laughing though

sarrki:
Its been coming clear that our political leaders are using this terrorist as a tool..

ipobs were fought hands down coz there was no political undertone ..

Fulani herdsmen ?

Boko haram ?

Its a tool and ploy

Alariiwo:
From a critical point of view.. I think some aggrieved, disgruntled elements who wants nothing but PMB's downfall are behind this unrest in the country..

Or how do we explain killings in Benue, Taraba and co. after those ones rejected Kanu and his biafra dream some months back.

I don't know what such people stand to gain, but our government shall never be truncated again. Any group so desperate for presidency should go to the polls.

When will you guys stop fooling yourselves

You think Buhari wouldn't have pounced on the opposition if they are behind these killings in order to bring down his government? The issue is when some thinks they are smart they'll end up scoring an own goal.

So think and learn to apply reason in your assertions.

“The first fundamental right of a Nigerian is the right to life. It is when you are alive that you can enjoy other rights. Once this right is taken away from you through killings and murder, you cannot enjoy any other right. Nigerians demand Right to Life. More than a thousand Nigerians have been killed in the last one year. Is Nigeria at war? There is more to all these killings.”

The crux of the matter.

Either we believe it or not Nigeria is at war but the question we've not properly addressed/agreed is who are the people waging war against the country and for what purpose?

We need to keenly study the pattern of killings i.e splitting heads open, cutting of heads and legs all in a bid to drive terror into the people and why are these killers elusive to being caught/prosecuted by security agencies who keeps playing to the gallery.

The truth is right before us but politicians like a game of chess keeps playing with the lives of Nigerians.

Amanzi Obi should watch his back cos such mention of his name may be considered to be a fatwa by those horde of bloodthirsty overzealous Buboo zombie followers.

Garba Shehu should know that leadership comes with responsibility and when a leader failed he will be called names. So it is the duty of every responsible leader to ensure they aren't continually in the bad books of the people by doing the right thing to earn respect and not forcefully demanding for it.

charliboy654:
Did u read the post at all?
He said in the Early stage of Boko Haram, they were giving the green light to operate. Now tell me who was the president then.

I did read the post. But you are the one who doesn't understand his message which is encoded in "Indeed, “my enemy is also my sword, I shall use him to kill with and then break the sword”."

Ask yourself who are the people that gave green light to Bokoharam at the early stages?
Definitely not Jonathan but those in power presently who then kicked against labeling BH terrorists organization and some termed it a fight against the north also accused GEJ of killing their children.

Aren't they claiming now they've "broken the sword"?

Kamanuozuzu:
Check his profile. He already has all the attention one could ever need in 10 lifetimes. He only stated the obvious.

LORDOFAFONJAS:
You need follow him on Twitter and see his posts , he's a reformed muslim

Good for him then.

However in the world of today the undiscerning will fail to see the deception that's taking the world by storm and when reality dawns it maybe too late.

velai:
This Imam of peace sef!
The other time he was showing us how Nigerian fraudsters wanted to scam him. Now he has gone to the main business of attacking Nigeria...
But there are some elements of truth in his posts.

Nevertheless it seems the guy is seeking attention and had to apply deception in achieving his aim.

After reading this the FG, BMC and zombie reaction must be like... Chai another wahala

Seriously can this Imam convince us he's not a closet terrorist using Taqiyya in order to be seen as a moderate muslim?

bettercreature:
We should appreciate all these South African companies for once! They always brings latest technologies to Nigeria and Africa as a whole.They have been showing us the world since around 1997 we shouldn’t forget that because of one TSTV
There is nothing like shutting down they just have to renew their license
You guys should remember we are nothing without all these South African companies

Really? You are nothing without south africa? Pls count me out of that nothingness.

And so because they've been showing the world we should allow them continue to milk us unfairly and subvert our economy? And which technology did they bring that other operators can't provide?

For any economy to grow there must be healthy competition and not some behemoth that'll keep monopolizing the system to stifle competitors for their selfish interests.

It would have been great a opportunity if TSTV and other indigenous companies can seize the moment.

So many expectations from TSTV but...time will tell?

Aare OnaKakanfo, Agbekoya, OPC and southwesterners should be at alert and do the needful when necessary.

Vigilance should be the watchword and southwest governors needs to make available special phone lines for updates/monitoring on any influx of strangers within their states as was recently reported of 4 truckloads of fulanis in akoko area of ondo state.

creatorsverse:
Buhari has failed if he likes he should do fasting for forty days and forty night he is still going back to daura

a message to the ppl of daura please start killing cows and preparing for a homecoming becos come 2019 ur son is coming home

And singing Baba oyoyo...

Failure is even an understatement.

His performance is an insult to all failures.

Billyonaire:
Hitopadesa had no idea of what is called Nuclear Weapon, he definitely had no knowledge that there will ever be Rapid Auto and recoil mechanisms in Machine Guns. No one needs bravery to kill in this generation. The most lazy coward can bring down a truckload of soldiers with the right combination of drugs in his system.

So, do you now assume Hitopadesa's assertion was not for this generation and hence, holds untrue or you will defiantly debate this issue just to maintain your educated ego, that sees no imperfection in written words ? Yet most lies are typed over the internet in a brazen attack called 419, yet we believe every damn quote written on pieces of papers simply because they are packaged expensively ?

May we realize that we are the future of the men of old, their dreams, now our present and their future which they hoped for, we are and their words and records are ours to break. Yet we give credence to the past and pretend to be wise in upholding a static past over a future of possibilities.

Hitopadesa was wise, but that statement is no longer valid.

It's obvious your response shows you didn't grasp the essence of that quote vis-à-vis the topic and the situation at hand in Benue particularly the person of Governor Ortom.

The nairalander I quoted said Ortom has braced up.
So like others who noted he's becoming brave/defiant.
The question then is how come this sudden bravery cos many have accused him of being Hausa Fulani lackey?

It's because of the killings of which he seems helpless despite efforts by him in reaching out to authorities both the presidency and security agencies as we've read in the media most especially on this forum. Likewise other events and responses from some northern leaders who heaped most of the blame on him cos of the anti grazing law.
Thereby he realized the abilities of 'his enemies' in using state power to their own advantage which we are all aware of by non arrests of these militia terrorists herdsmen and their Miyetti Allah leaders.

Such realization can only emboldened him for the political battle ahead which may leave him and Benue leaders no option than to realign forces with the south and possibly join the PDP cos there seems to be a rift between him and the Fulani presidency considering the kind of politics prevalent in this country.

I'll advice you read in context of the situation before jumping to conclusions on certain issues.
But as much as I won't dispute our abilities in this generation to break records in all sectors be it weaponry, medicine e.t.c I'm still convinced Hitopadesa quote is very much valid in the context of the topic at hand.

newyorks:
cheers ortom has braced up.

Because he has experienced the abilities of his people's enemies.


No man should ever display his bravery unless he is prepared for battle, nor bear the marks of defiance, until he has experienced the abilities of his enemy.
-Hitopadesa

A very good reason.

Your loyalty lies with your people and not to some callous bloodthirsty jihadists.

doctokwus:
I am gradually getting convinced that we are either dealing with a mentally challenged man in Aso Rock or that Buhari has a singular mission to destroy Nigeria.
I am tempted towards believing its the first because many of his actions,statements and decisions defy all known logic and are more typical of a mentally challenged,aka,Yaba left candidate.

He's the only Nigerian president who destroyed his own government twice as a military head of state and a civilian president due to incompetency, bigotry and nepotism.

A record breaker.

Oh lawd. Buboo has done it again

I'll just resign if I were to be the health minister cos that's pure humiliation.

femidejulius:
I have always wonder at e-diots who call governor Chief Security of States.

Governor do not control the police,army,navy,air force,DSS,efcc,nia,civil defence corps,nothing. The constitution did not mention anywhere that they are chief security officer of their states.

Having established that, Nigeria need to be restructured so that there can be at least local government police, state government police and federal government police.

How do people defend themselves from Fulani militias whom we are told are well armed? How do we defend ourselves from the Fulani President who is obviously protecting his kinsmen by not doing enough?

Pending the time Nigeria is restructured coupled with present failure of security provision for these people should they throw up their arms in helplessness and awaits their murderers to continue taking their lives?

I am with the governor's call for his people to defend themselves cos there seems to be no hope in the security operatives whose leaders pronouncements have shown they'll rather support Fulani militia terrorist herdsmen.

Now you are talking as the chief security officer of your state.

Waiting on Fulani presidency protection is akin to squeezing water from a stone.

Life is God's gift and must be protected. Allowing oneself to be killed without defending it / fighting back is a sin against the giver of life.

An attempt to keep him busy and forestall any second thoughts he maybe having on working against APC/Buhari candidacy.

Well wetin concern me sef it's his cup of tea if he allowed himself to be played again.

Good decision. All about Nigeria 1st.

Due diligence must be adhered to by MDAs.

AreaFada2:
Just wait until Buhari has left office. That is why APC will use all means to stay in power. Even if they have to promote Buhari's niece who is INEC commissioner in charge of NW to become INEC chairman/woman. In order to cover their nyansh.

If opposition wins you will be shocked at the corruption that will be revealed. Not all the allegations against GEJ regime that almost 3 years on, no major conviction is recorded.

It's becoming scary now sef not only do we have heartless desperados in power but also "awon ogbologbo senior bad boys"

2019 elections is a civic duty for Nigerians to chase these guys out of power. It's a task that must be accomplished lest we end up with anarchy or civil war on our hands.

Saraki knows some people are squeezing Umar balls in a bid to ensure he lose his own case.

It's all a countdown game of 2019 chess

Who gets checkmated 1st is what we await to see.

sarrki:
PDP are fuelling this crisis

They invented Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen

We have defeated Boko haram

We will surely defeat Fulani herdsmen too

Will you ever get sense

buhariguy:
Hmm

You must be thinking like other BMC crew who avoided this thread like...

BeardedMeat:
Can you see the progression of Abba Kyaris thieving streak? His name will always feature on every scam that hits the presidency!
No wonder the Grass cutter asked " who was the presidency " in a retorting manner because he knows they are all in it together!

The audacity of these guys around Buhari is something else. Planning a heist of $44m belonging to NIA.

Chai...when you thought you've seen it all another madness surfaces.

I carry yansh for those guys o.
