These are clear signs that there's no love in this country. Why would you want to kill your neighbour if you genuinely love them?

Is it just now you’re realising this fact!? Ndigbo knew this right from 1966!

I'm not a fan of Tinubu and his crude shenanigans but this is why Atiku might never become nigeria president. Nobody trusts the Fulani.

This here is the real genocide!
This is how terrorists act when they aim to erase and replace a people. They carry out mass killings of a specific group. Later, when the original people resist, like Israel fighting invaders and illegal occupiers, those who ignore history wrongly call self-defense "genocide."

The terrorists keep attacking until they bring in their own people, take over the land, and rename it. They then claim it as theirs, leaving the true owners as a powerless minority. By changing the population, they erase the natives until the world forgets them. This has been the pattern of Islamist groups throughout history, used against Christians, Jews, and others. If not resisted, they use their growing numbers to seize land.

This, is not the same issue with that of Israel.
Israel is a Terrorist State and Their President, Netanyahu is wanted for Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide, according to the United Nations.
The People on the Plateau are like the Palestinians, being slaughtered and bombed on a daily basis, by a Genocidal Regime that seeks to exterminate them (just like these Terrorist-Fulani Herdsmen are doing) and take over their Land.

Dont twist History and Logic on their face..

The sad part is that Plateau state is one of the states with strong military presence in the military history of Nigeria. The likes of Gen Yakubu Gowon/Jeremiah Useni, late Gen Domkat Bali/ John Shagaya,

Surprisingly, the 3rd Amour Division base - Maxewell Khobe Cantonment is @ a radius from this community in Rukuba area of Bassa LGA. Why is the governor thinking of a mobile police barracks? How come atrocious and treasonable elements are on this dastard annihilation drive?


If the community does not resort to self help and promptly defend their ancestral land and themselves, I dont think any istration is truly willing to assist.

Lol. The very definition of terrorism lies on targeting civilians to coerce political change . Israel’s actions are directed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure (Hamas tunnels, rocket launchers) and eliminating terrorists who embed themselves in civilian areas. Hamas, on the other hand, intentionally uses so called Palestinian "civilians" as human shields while firing rockets at Israeli territory . If you equate a democracy defending its citizens to terrorists who glorify death cults (see Hamas’s charter calling for Israel’s destruction), then you need to grab a book, boy.

The tribes suffering at the hands of Fulani terrorists involves folks committing mass murder for ethnic domination, now that's a genocide . Israel, is a UN-recognized state with legal borders, fighting a designated terrorist groups(Hamas, Islamic Jihad) that reject its right to exist. Unlike the Fulani herdsmen/terrorists, Israel doesn’t target civilians en masse, its casualty figures include terrorists Hamas hides in schools and hospitals.

Don't know where you get your trash from but the UN’s own documents define genocide as acts intended to “destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group” . Hamas’s charter explicitly vows to “exterminate” Jews , while Israel’s policies aim to neutralize threats, not annihilate Palestinians. If Netanyahu were guilty of genocide, Gaza’s population wouldn’t have doubled since 2005. The real genocide is Hamas’s systematic murder of rival Arabs, wonder why you ignored that.

The so called fake palestinians have repeatedly rejected statehood offers (2000 Camp David, 2008 Olmert Plan) in favor of violence. Their leaders choose rockets over basic amenities. How's that Israel's fault?

Jews aren’t “seizing land”, it's called reclaiming your ancestral homeland, with legal claims predating Islam by millennia. The “growing numbers” you decry are Israel’s demographic resilience against an evil region. Compare that to, Islamist expansionism (Fulani terrorists, ISIS) erases indigenous communities without historical ties to the land they invade.

Also, Jerusalem has been Judaism’s capital for 3,000 years, long before Islam existed. Palestinian trash was invented in the 1960s as a tool to delegitimize Israel. If you care about “history,” explain why Palestinian textbooks omit Jewish ties to the land or why Hamas leaders vow to “liberate” Tel Aviv, Haifa, and all of Israel. That isn’t a “resistance", it’s a slow-motion genocide attempt, and you’re cheering it on.
Keep crying, boy!

This Nigeria, if you defend yourself when someone is stabbing you on the stomach, its a crime. You are supposed to call police or run to police station with your entrails dangling
very pathetic situation, though foolishly funny to say the least, especially when we claim to have a government whose least and basic duty should be the protection of lives and properties of the citizens.
just imagine, after witnessing the needless brutal killings of innocent Nigerian farmers, without apprehending and prosecuting these heartless murderers, the same useless government will be blaming Nigerians for food insecurity, calling us lazy citizens.
Indigenous people of Nigeria, better unite and defend yourselves, because you no longer have a government to defend you.

Go check the news and stop mentioning Yorubas in your comments when it's not needed . Go and protect the villagers in Ebonyi ,Enugu and other SE states from Fulani herdsmen attacks.

The plan of these fulani hersers onvaders is to gradually decimate the nimbers of local indigenes and ultimately replace them with their own from across the sahel. They're manipulating the nigerian security architecture to carry out these acts. They've tried auch in taraba and it didn't help all thanks to rtd general danjuma

We all know the plans of the Fulani and their thirst for acquiring settlements and forage lands not belonging to them and reclaiming it.


That's why the owners of those communities and lands have to resort to intensive and intentionally self defense otherwise it will be stories.
If they even know where this particular fulanis who are actually doing it, they should take the fight to them to prevent further intrusion.

And in the midst of all these, former Governor, Solomon Lalong has continously championed the Fulani/Hausa cause against the South, yet the South has continued to show solidarity with Plateau State. I think that man should examine his head

Interesting how there small but ruthless tribes in the Middle belt that the fulani bandits won't dare mess with. Anyone who has heard about the Bachama, Eggons, Gwongs and Gbagyi will know that those ones don't joke with their lands, if fulani kills 5 of their people, 20 fulanis will repay the debt with their lives. These are the tribes that are small in population but have learned how to survive ethnic cleansing attempts by being ruthless.

It seems the Fulanis have picked on the more disunited tribes like Tiv, Aromas, Irigwes etc for selective annihilation and conquest of land. Ultimately, the so called big "3s" Hausas, Yorubas and Igbos have failed to curb the fulani menace due to lack of unity among themselves...the Hausas are even the worse, a very dominant people and language that got easily conquered and immersed into a smaller fulani tribe.

You get the drill.

The idea is to eventually turn Nigeria to an Islamic Sultanate.

What business does a secular nation like Nigeria have with being a member of the OIC?

What business does Nigeria have with Muslim/Muslim ticket?

Why would Nigeria be operating the Shari'a constitution alongside a secular constitution?

Na blindness dey kill us.



These killings are sponsored by Arab Nations - This is beyond herdsmen - The Arab militia disguised as Fulani herdsmen is here to take Nigeria
grandstar(m): 1:33am On Apr 17
The only solution is to stop Fulani nomadic herding.

It is time where a solution needs to be found concerning this slaughter by the herdsmen.

Any state that rejects Fulani herdsmen must pay a sum N3bn to Miyetti Allah for baning them from their state. The money should be paid by the FG.

Miyeti Allah should determine how best to use that money to assist the herders.

Cattle herding is extremely profitable as their feedstock is free. That's why they refuse to discontinue it despite the dangers involved

Islamist like pillager love to scream 'genocide' when the owners of the land finally fight back. They want you to sit quietly like a lamb while they butcher your people and steal your land, until you’re nothing but a helpless minority in your own country.

Israel fought and is crushing these invaders, just like every nation should. Ukraine isn’t backing down either. Don’t fall for their fake tears when they whine about 'genocide' the second you start kicking them out of your homeland. Fight or disappear, it’s that simple.

Perhaps dominique, who s Hamas terrorists, also backs their efforts to remove the indigenous people. After all, she claims Hamas and the so-called Palestinians are native to a land that was never theirs. So I ask Dominique: If, in the future, these people fight back and push out the terrorists, just as Israel is doing now, would you call their self-defense 'genocide' too? Madridguy, we could use your usual noise here as well.

So if the black Americans start coming back to African claiming they are persecuted in America and began displacing you and your family claiming they originally own the land and it was slavery that took them away for the past 400 years and they are back to reclaim their lands which you have inhabited for the past 300 years, you will not fight back and just hand it over?
Are the whites , including Donald Trump the original owners of America?
Should indians start laying claim to USA do you think Americans won't fight back, even though we all know they didn't own the land originally.

What Israel is doing in Gaza is not going to help either Israel or USA but put them in a more difficult situation as their arrogance will lead to bad ends for the world,maybe a world war will reset things like it did some 90 years ago is left to be seen

Poor logic, boy! 🤷🏼
Jewish people maintained strong ties to Israel for millennia, which by the way is documented in ancient texts, archaeology, and international law (see the Balfour Declaration, UN Partition Plan). This isn’t “stealing land”, it’s reclaiming sovereignty in a homeland recognized as theirs by the global community in 1948. So called Palestinians, meanwhile, are part of the Arab world, a group that conquered the region in the 7th century. Demanding Israel’s destruction after losing multiple wars they started isn’t “indigenous resistance”, it’s refusing peace.

How does that even relate to Black Americans “reclaiming” Africa?lol. African nations exist today as sovereign states, there’s no global mandate to dissolve them for historical grievances. Likewise, Native American tribes pursue legal sovereignty within the U.S. system,they don’t fire rockets at New York while crying “genocide” when the U.S. responds. Hamas does exactly that, yet Israel is blamed for defending itself.

Israel’s rebirth was a stateless people rebuilding on ancestral land, with Arab states refusing to absorb so called Palestinian refugees to prolong the conflict. If Native Americans peacefully negotiated a sovereign state tomorrow, would you call it “genocide” if they arrested armed gangs attacking their cities? Of course not. But when Israel does it, suddenly “genocide” trends.

The “world war” fearmongering? Please. Israel’s campaign against Hamas is self-defense, nothing else. When the Allies crushed Nazis, nobody called it “genocide”, they called it justice. Hamas butchers civilians, uses schools as missile depots, and steals aid, yet Israel’s critics still spread their propaganda. The real “reset” needed is honesty: No nation would tolerate terrorists on its border. Cry “colonialism” all you want, history and law side with Israel.

President Tinubu and their governor should be held responsible. You don't have business in governance if you cannot defend people's life. I Tinubu but he needs to do something about this barbaric act.

A Governor is impotent, when it comes to commanding Security Forces, who are the ones that will physically go out and put an end to these Genocides by Terrorists, disguising themselves as Fulani Herdsmen.

President Bola is not interested in ending it because it will bring him into headlong confrontation with his Fulani benefactors, his only concern is winning the 2027 Elections and he has cast his lot, with these Herdsmen.

The Victims in Benue and other parts of Nigeria needs to rise up and survive, even as the Nigerian system seeks to disarm them (the way a Fulani-Buhari did for 8years!), while not lifting a finger to help them.

ARISHEM:
One Nigeria given as an excuse to cause extinction of minorities. We are in a country where state police is forbidden and self defense is seen as criminal and an act of jungle justice.
Laaaaaaaaa
A community is at the edge of extinction. The reasonable thing to do is tmmmombmcmmbcbbm ban cattle and herdsmen activities in that place to prevent it from happening. But government will say NO with the excuse that since Nigeria is one, freedom of movement of every one including cattle and herdsmen should not be restricted.
Evil is where places that have been sacked and at the edge of extinction have been renamed by their invaders with the government given them full recognition by allowing elections to happen in those places and not doing the needful.
Evil is when none of this villains has ever been arrested, prosecuted and jailed for their crimes.
