The state will protect the herdsmen, we are in a mess with injustice and impunity in Nigeria. The zoo will fall
ReplyDeleteWhere is mr mbaka? Has God not spoken to him again? He should perform his miracles by binding his people the blood thirsty herdsmen so that they stop the killings and maiming. Or is mbaka waiting until they sack his village? Ewu.
ReplyDeleteHow many have you arrested and prosecuted so far. Story story story. But APC Govt will GI down as the worst in the history of Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThese are no 'these are no 'herdsmen', a proper investigation will reveal who these people are, so let's not heat up the matter. The Ijaw Youths Council, put forward a more constructive and true side of all these 'herdsmen' attack. These are terrorists (it could be BH infiltrate), disguising as 'Fulani herdsmen', going around committing these atrocities. The typical Fulani herdsmen are just a group of three to four skinny lads going around with their cattle, how could these three or so skinny lads organize themselves, riding on motorbikes, armed with AK47 to go and ransack whole villages?
ReplyDeleteThe federal government comprises of Presidency, dss & IG just commenting on the issues that has happened many day ago? This is premeditated sin, Fulani strategy is working with the help of their brothers Buhari and the northern emir to reduce the population of south west, South -south and south-west. People should begin to protect themselves. Despite no gazing clearly wrote caption with picture at redemption camp, the Fulani with their animals nearly jam my car on my way to the new auditorium. Please let the council of Obas rise to challenge Buhari and his Fulani brother to stop this evil, how can animal Fulani man going after animal be carrying Ak47,49 I beg don't reduce our population.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that our security outfits, the IGP inclusive are always in the habit of reacting to issues instead of being sensitive to the indices that culminate to this kind of mayhem. It clearly betray the trust of the citizens on these bodies of being impartial. Above all the expectation from the Buhari regime that we massively voted for is fast dwindling because of his laconic posture and insensitivity disposition to national issues mostly bordering on ethnicity
