Fight back when their women mostly call the shots while the men drink away their lives with biyee

The Nigeria police/military should get to work asap and bring them back.

Get these student undergraduates rescued immediately. Leave legislation to stop medical healthcare workers from leaving Nigeria due to the widespread deteriorating insecurity as this ugly case.

COMRADES are speechless

This is sad and pathetic

Who are these terrorist or this kidnappers 🤔
Can't they think of how to become bill gate and mark Zuckerberg one day ? Always thinking of how to kidnap and kill their fellow human 🤔

I think the we live with some animals which they classified themselves as human or Nigerians , when last did u hear.kidnap in overseases 🤔
NOTE it's not Abt security issues but it's about how they think and reason to solve problems of humanities in of tech , medicine etc but here in Nigeria people will he thinking of how to kill, do blood money and the likes ..


Till Jesus come if we didn't change mentality the government cannot stop all this because u can't expect government to build police station in all the busses and all rural environs all in the name of security 😢😭😭

Medical doctors are leaving Nigeria in droves. The ones remaining in Nigeria are being kidnapped.

This is getting outta hands.
All terrorists (both boko and ipob) kidnappers, the evil ones among the herdsmen, criminals will never end well in this nation,
They all will never end well in life.

The day you decide to take someone's life is the day you give up yours.

😢

This govt chasing shadows

All this terrorists should leave hardworking people alone. Check well, it must be terrorists bandits or Fulani herdsmen

No muslims amongst them. Their ransom go hard oo

Nigeria is too lawless,why mentioning the names of the victims.Do you know the trauma you are putting the friends and families of the victims.Most we post everything on social media.We are not really really intelligent and smart.

DAMN!

fight back against terrorist herdsmen with AK47?

Igbo names on the list, probably from the Igbo speaking part of Benue and Igbo residents

Really sad.

It's really an unfortunate situation we are in. Up till now, presidency hasn't reacted to the situation. Of course, it's because it happened in the north. If it had happened in the Southwest, attempts to rescue them would have been in top gear.

Tinubu, why do you hate the north like this??

...And you wonder why Japa rate is so high!

Tell what should keep these young professionals from fleeing after graduating!

Fight back when their women mostly call the shorts while the men drink away their lives with biyee

Lord have mercy

You that your men are fighting back, why did Herdsmen sack over 500 communities in the your East?

Eternal legacy of Buhari..
They sworn never to make governance smooth for Jonathan.
He brought kidnapping to a commercial scale in Nigeria

Sad. This isn't a country.

It's a jungle.

God help them. Amen.
