It's becoming scaring on the issue of security in Nigeria.The rate of killing is too much , our government are not doing anything rather their focus is on re-election and its a shame.
ReplyDeleteA country that eats its own people. Shame!!!
ReplyDeleteMay the souls departed rest in peace.
What is really going on in this country? Look at Benue state, is this something people should get used to? Are these herdsman so invisible they cannot be apprehended? Who are those sponsoring them? Hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteEvery week, we hear of how people are butchered in the most wicked manner.
DeleteYet no arrests, no prosecution. And it's not as if these herdsmen are even hiding.
After a while, the government will bring up something to distract the citizens...until the herdsmen strike yet again.
Its a vicious cycle of depravity.
May God rest their souls. Which way Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad!
ReplyDeleteWhy?
This is so sad, why isn't the govt taking tougher measures to stop this wickedness now. 😔
ReplyDeleteThis is too much, every day killings
ReplyDeleteThis is sad and scary.
ReplyDeleteIt will never be well with the paedophile god mohammed and his dumb followers. As a concerned Benue indigene, I have noticed that the middle belt states with muslim government appear not to have this problem. Eg Kogi, kwara, Nasarawa etc. So Benue, Plateau and Taraba that have a significant Christian population and Christian government, they have vowed to frustrate by all means.
ReplyDeleteYour god is so blood thirsty that you have to use grazing from place to place for land grabbing purposes and violence. If islam is such a sweet religion, let people discover for themselves and decide. Your own kind of evangelism to spread this cult is always through conquest, battles and jihad like you call it.
Where is Sen Barnabas Gemade, where is the Secretary to the Government of the Federation Senator George Akume? Where is Senator David Mark? Why are they all quiet?
May the God of Israel provide arms to the people at the grassroots in Benue to defend themselves .
If not for self defense Isrealites would have been wiped off by now.
Islam does not know peace ! Match violence with violence .
The ppl have to fight back and it requires a community effort. From sentries on the watch day and night, to having a strategic survival plan. No stranger is going to know your home better than you, on top of that, attacks under the cover of night gives a community that has planned for their survival an advantage. These marauders are using the element of surprise to disorient the villagers and gain an upper hand. A community that has planned for retaliation is not going to be surprised. Setting booby traps, even having moles to provide information. Too many communities are completely unprepared despite knowing that these ppl are going around. Whether they are coming by bikes, horses, or cars they should not be leaving alive.
ReplyDeleteThis is really not funny. Dealing with economic hardship is sad enough, but this insecurity and everyday killing everywhere is just too heartbreaking. Will this ever end? No matter how you try to stay happy, the things you see, hear and read about won't allow you. O su mi o
ReplyDeleteIs this how we are going to continue, like we should accept this as a norm?
ReplyDeleteDon't we have a President in this country?
