Acjohn: Dont call them that name, call them Muslim boys out for revenge.
All deaths in Plateau state was by unknown gun men till Fulanis heading to Kwara state through an obviously wrong road(a road that led to Irigwe land) with guns in their cars were killed and we suddenly heard Irigwe people revenge.
The media is one sided, Nigeria government is one sided, because the Governor permitted it and he has not seen the peace that he sacrificed his people for till today.
Pls share pictures of the weapons.
If they'd guns and the attackers only had knives, how come 33 of them were murdered with knives and stones yet none of the attackers were killed?
If there truly were guns you'd bet your life it'll be all over social media and the mass media, if only for the attackers to justify their crime.
Who brings a knife to a gun fight and still comes out victorious?
You people have been programmed by your pastors and community leaders to think like mindless buffoons completely devoid of rational thought.
sbenjy: Dumb advice on what u absolutely knw nothing about. Was swapped with another hdd and everything worked
You're the dumb idiot for not trying a new hdd instead of coming here making a fool of yourself. It's probably stolen anyway if you don't know the apple id.
samonak: Guy have you settled down to ask yourself, Why only the Fulanis are being attacked and vilified almost everywhere in this country? From Plateau, Kaduna, Benue, Abia, Ebonyi,Edo, Delta, Enugu, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti even as far as Rivers and Bayelsa, same story? Why are other tribes not antagonized like the Fulanis? Something must be fundamentally wrong with your kinsmen that warrants the hostile treatment they've been receiving. Buhari is the only force holding the entire country from declaring "open season" for your people, and he won't stay on the throne forever. Karma is coming for u all.
I don't know where and how buhari stopped you people from facing the fulanis responsible for any carnage in your domains.
You're free to enter the bush and engage them especially given your claims that there are no security forces in place.
It's open season, have at it. Just don't ambush defenseless travelers, limit your retaliatory action to the same people who attacked you, you all know their settlements.
Let me know how your face to face revenge is going
Gadafii: special adviser to POTUS, tell us one of the many things they could have done to stop the Taliban advance and the eventual capitulation of Kabul
For forrk sake, why are you not blaming over 300k Afghan soldiers that could even put up a fight against 70k talibans, and flee like a dog with flees, America said they ant continue to be involved in another countrys civil war, Afghanistan wants America to keep spoon feeding them, even with all the high tech gadgets and weaponry they got from America, all of these now had fallen into talibans hands and should America be blamed for that too
They don't have 300k soldiers, they barely have 50,000 according to recent intelligence. That's less than the estimated 60k to 100k the Taliban has.
27Pushing30: Biden was asked during the presidential debate and he resoundingly stated he supported withdrawal from Afghanistan so I don’t understand your point .
Trump has no engineering degree by the way lol
Every president after Bush supported the withdrawal, but only Trump agreed to it and committed the US to a timeline.
Trump would have you know he has degrees in everything. He claims to know it all.
bongap1: do u know Jos very well? u can't be coming from Bauchi and still ply that road, FYI those fools were armed and were there to increase casualties, tell yourself the truth sometimes. Fulani and their Hausa slaves are the real barbarians.
I'm staying in Jos.
They were coming from Bauchi to Ondo passing through Jos, and in looking for a quick route they ended up in rukuba road.
If they were armed why wasn't it all over social media and the news since the carnage and aftermath were well documented?
Like i said, you people have been once again exposed for the murderers and savages you are. You think the world has forgotten Kuru Karama where fulanis were killed and dumped into wells as shown on BBC and Al Jazeera?
Or the pit where you people killed the general and dumped his car?
Why did CAN condemn your shame if the murdered people were armed?
The world has seen the true color of the irigwes, and never will anyone spare a tear or sympathy next time fulanis deal with them.
teepain: I have always condemned violence and the murder of innocent people and I will continue to do so regardless of the tribes or religion of the victims because we all first human before belonging to a tribe or religion.
Read calmly over my posts again and you will see that I deliberately did not mention the Fulani as a people because I believe that not all the Fulanis are criminals. I deliberately condemn the actions of those Fulanis that exhibit criminal tendencies and not all Fulani as you have wrongly accused me of. I classified you as one of those because of the way you attacked the Irigiwes collectively. If the law enforcement officers arrest any Irigiwe or Fulani man or woman found to have committed a crime, I will applaud it.
And no, I don't expect you to sit back and lap it up when people attack and disparage you without basis. Please, you are free to give as much as you take. Personally, I don't care about this distinction between Christians, Muslims or any other religious affiliation. There should not be compulsion in religion and people should remember that the elites that are destroying this country have representation from Christianity, Islam, Atheism and what have you?
That is alright. I can take and I even endorse verbal exchanges as long as people do not go about taking lives that they cannot make.
There you go again, lumping all the Irigiwes together. Are you saying that all Irigiwes held a meeting in a place and decided to attack the travelers. Why don't you just direct your diatribes at the ones who carried out the unwarranted killings.
Pathetic.
Cannibalism is a crime according to Nigerian laws. Kindly report such crimes committed by any one either Irigiwe or Berom or any other member of any other ethnic group and allow the law to take its full course but don't encourage the mass killings or murders of any group of people.
I don't encourage murder because I'm not a barbarian like some people.
I however deplore hypocrisy and moral pontificators who project a false aura of righteousness when deep down they are as bigoted as the next person.
As long as certain people think they've earned the right to deny other people the right to exist simply because of some imagined and fanciful settler/indigene nonsense, killing others because they're xenophobic and hate their tribe and religion, then I'll have no sympathy for those folks.
And anyone who comes here with their one-sided opinions about us will be equally matched in senseless vitriol.
We can have a discourse as gentlemen, or roll in the mud like pigs. I'm open to either option.
Southernigbo: after killing innocent travelers who know nothing abt plateau state, and realising that they are under d spotlight, they now organise this phantom claim of fulani attack to cover up their evils.
Exactly.
They always play the victim when they're always the aggressor.
No day passes without them looking for fulani trouble.
They silently murder Herdsmen almost weekly, and when the herdsmen take revenge they block roads to murder travelers and start wailing all over the place.
Those useless irigwes are the ones now painting the whole Plateau black.
teepain: Your assumptions only underscore your lack of emotional intelligence. I have never subscribed to the cold-blooded murder of people and I empathize with the families and friends of the Fulani travellers that were killed by suspected Irigiwes.
However, your hypocrisy stinks to high heavens. No where and at no point did you condemn the earlier murders of the Irigiwes only for you to come out from nowhere and be condemning the Irigiwes for their actions without condemning the Fulani actions that led to the reprisal attack.
You have called the Irigiwes all manners of unprintable names, isn't that sufficient for you. Do you now kill them because their culture and way of life does not agree with your's?! Who then is the caveman, if not you?
And for your information, the Irigiwes aren't the only group of people who see blood-sucking vampires like you irritable. Actually, you guys are making yourselves enemies all over the country and beyond.
You also conveniently ignored the 6 fulanis murdered by the irigwes that led to the reprisals that led to your opportunistic and cowardly attacks on those hapless travelers.
You talk about me generalizing that bunch of canine-chomping paleolithic cavemen yet you pass the same generalization against the Fulanis by painting them with the same brush. You actually think your inane verbosity masks your hypocrisy and bigotry?
All over this forum we've had to watch almost all christians constantly attacking all Muslim northerners as terrorists and all fulani as killers, and you idiots expect us to sit back and watch quietly?
Fukk you.
As long as the irigwes have distinguished themselves as troublemakers then i have no sympathy for whatever befalls their foolhardiness.
You can mope and wail from your pathetic moral high horse but we can see through the thin veil of your myopia and sentiments.
You may now write another empty monologue all you want, won't change the fact that everyone knows the irigwes and beroms are nothing but cannibalistic, bloodthirsty dog-eating drunkard cavemen who've refused to evolve from their neanderthal ways.
teepain: This is a very stupid and asinine remark. Whether all these people know is alcohol and dog or not should not be your business. Let them eat their 'dog meat' in peace. How can you hate a group of people and tag them all as being lazy because of their religion; surely you silently applaud the killing of these people.
By the way, your people look like the cowards here. I said it advisedly, because you go about striking in the middle of the night killing aged women, children and weak old men. If you people are not cowards, go to any place during the day after duly informing the people of your intentions to come and fight them and see what would become of you. Despicable human beings.
You're likely one of the dog eaters too, and I'm sure you've tasted human flesh too.
If the fulanis attack your lazy drunkards by night, why don't the idiots go by day to exact revenge since the Fulani settlements are close to them? Why can't they too use the night as cover?
Are they too drunk to retaliate or is it the coward streak in them preventing them?
You're all a bunch of insignificant, drunken, useless, barbaric, illiterate, myopic, backward natives who the world has since left behind wallowing senselessly and ignorantly in your caveman society.
YoungLionken: The Taliban takeover, the effects on the helpless citizens, especially women and underaged girls.. Serial killings, corruption and bribery in highest order and the world welfare at large..
But, like seriously, is this what we should be bothered about right now ?..
Also per your quote that the US does not negotiate with terrorists” please Google Bowe Bergdahl. And Thank me later.
By "he did" i meant Biden screwed up.
I'm perfectly aware of the case of Bowe Bergdahl since he went AWOL and the subsequent mission by DEVGRU to rescue him as told in No Easy Day by Matt Bissonnette.
His case was one man, this is wholesale capitulation to the Taliban that Trump engineered and Biden saw through.
So yes Biden goofed but Trump also shares the blame.
samsard: There's nothing that can justify the killing of those travelers. But if the government had not been absolutely useless and the army callous, it would probably not have gotten to it. I'm sure those slaughtered Irigwe were also defenseless. One thing I know is that both Christians and Muslims in Plateau and Kaduna are the closest thing to savages. That's why I'll never be impressed by anyone's religion in Nigeria.
I quite agree that both federal and state governments are mishandling the Fulani crises, whether farmer-herder or banditry.
What some people fail to understand here is that the fulanis, especially bandits, don't discriminate their victims. Everyday we hear about 40 or 50 people killed and kidnapped in Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Niger. These victims are majority muslims. So we're all victims of this unfortunate turn of events.
I don't support either side killing the other, but where government fails the people should be sensible. Only they can stop this nonsensical cycle of madness.
BinamRex: Tension is still palpable in Jos, Plateau state, after 33 Muslims we're allegedly massacred by Irigwe youths.
The government imposed a curfew from 5pm to 6am, so that the crisis doesn't spiral out of country.
I went around during the day to assess the situation and I can categorically tell you that the situation is still very tense. The air of uncertainty surrounding the city is terrifying.
I pray normalcy is restored as soon as possible. The city of Jos can't afford to descend into chaos again as it is yet to recover from past sectarian violence.
Bornsinner7: The question is why did the US deployed it's troops to Afghanistan??
Get your facts right before commenting on matters that may cause uproar..
It was because of the 9/11 attack.. the US invaded Afghanistan because of Al Qaeda who were operating from the country and a threat to US citizens and the world peace at large..
Nobody came to impose western civilization on anybody..
Wrong.
Part of their mission was to ensure the Taliban never returns to power to protect from Afghanistan being the center of islamist extremism.
Well. Here we are. Al qaeda is still thriving, as is ISIS. And the Taliban are back stronger than ever.
The US introduced democracy with a puppet regime, introduced western media and entertainment, and their ideas of freedom and civilization.
