The media id complicit in this matter, because just like this headline, they will not call these terrorists for who they are. What do you mean by killer gunmen? These are bloody funlani terrorists herdsmen.

The surprise is in all this, no single arrest has been done. That's to tell you our politicians and security men knows what they are doing. Its a thing of the more you look the less you understand.

The government has failed to protect Nigerians .

The best thing to do If the government failed to provide security for you is to provide security for yourself else you will become a victim .

So that the same government will come and fight the people with soldiers for trying to defend themsleves or sentence them to death for defending themselves on their lands?

Shebi you people have achieved what you've always wanted by ing idiots into power because of tribal supremacy, enjoy the madness while it lasts...

Anybody still ing this Government and not a part of them is very foolish and gullible…why is the President so comfortable with all the killings and why was he so quick in declaring state of emergency in Rivers where there was no single killing but said to avoid that and where there are so many killings everyday the state of emergency is not declared and he is having fun in another country ….May God help Nigeria…the urchins are the big problem of this country because they are really making this useless and callous government too comfortable

The bandits were duly engaged but why are there no casualties on their side but a total of 17 on the side of the villagers? The police should have done better with the intel information. In fact our security should no longer wait for them to attacked but should be going after bandits before they launch attacks.

Are you sure all these killings are done by herdsmen??
Some of them could be cult related or internal crisis(tiv vs jukun)

How can gunmen be killing you like this without any resistance??
You dont have men in benue??
See the Fulanis openly patrolling Ukum after the attacks yesterday. See the kind of weapons they are clutching none of them is holding a pump action rifle na AK47 and RPG.

Meanwhile the Governor is more focused on stopping some politicians visiting IDP Camps

Benue people should arm themselves.
Under Ortom,they setup a vigilante group in the affected LGAs and huge success was recorded...however,the then dismantled the vigilantes and the killings resumed days later!
This was one of the reasons why Ortom was attacking the then president Buhari!

State governors organise state police...the federal government has allowed states, but the states are saying they don't have money to pay.
Only the NA can do that!
Policing is currently under the control of the federal government!
State policing can only happen when the national assembly amend the constitution by removing the police from the exclusive to concurrent list which is the states!
For state policing to be effective,it must be properly funded and independent of any political influence!

National assembly is a constitution of states representatives, so it's still up to the states...I personally heard on the news some governors saying they can't fund it,.we can't blame the presidency on that. NA were voted in just as the president was. Nigerians should face the NA.

RIP.

But when will political leaders in Benue/Plateau realise that there are many sovereign countries in the UN with population many times less than Tiv population?
Don't these political leaders understand that the only solution to stop the killings is by having a sovereign Benue/Plateau country with borders policed against the killers?

Something is seriously wrong with this Benue, there is no single day without carnage, Tinubu should declare a state of emergency in that hell hole
Benue is a strategic entery point into eastern parts of Nigeria and very strategic to the Jihadists. Capturing Benue now will cement their ground for future invasion. The goal is to capture. Unfortunately, the southern Nigerians may actually fall. Like, many countries were captured by invaders and over a period of years, the place becomes theirs.
It happened in North Africa, Turkey, etc.
If southern Nigerian leaders and people arent proactive, there may not be indegenous people of southern Nigeria in the next 50 years.

These are poor villagers. In the words of the policeman on this thread linked below: "no helper".

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/8401700/video-police-officer-crying-begging

They are poor villagers in sometimes remote, small settlements. They are subsistence farmers just trying to navigate Nigeria's treacherous, wicked landscape to eke out a living.

It is hard for city dwellers who are insulated from this madness to understand. Have you tried to get a license for a firearm in this country? Very hard. Very very hard. And if you get one illegally (like some do) to protect yourself, the system will make you miserable if you are found out.

The government (federal and state) doesn't care about these people. The so called armed forces don't care about these people. Nobody cares about them because they are poor villagers.

Nigeria's wickedness will consume her and all her children. One way or another. None will escape it.
