Hypocrisy and tribalism will send some of you to your early grave if it’s not checked on time! Do you want to tell me that it’s not for political desperation obi is always scanning for where there’s situation then bring as many cameras as he can get hold of to start donating his stolen money?

People like you cannot be helped. Because the people you treat you like animals doesn't mean Peter Obi would do the same

Useless Governor

his job is to count dead bodies


You already know the president is incompetent, why not call a state security meeting

direct the police commissioner to station his men in the troubled spots

Inaugurate forest guards, They should shoot every living thing roaming around the bushes

outlaw open grazing

declare a curfew from 6pm ... 7am in all troubled spots

Be proactive Mr useless Governor..
Don't be like your president

I have to conclude the federal government is behind all this given the protection they have been giving the herdsmen.
If culprits are being arrested, jailed and executed they will be afraid and will dare not commit this crimes

After the killing of so many people in Plateau by herdsmen, security agencies are only interested in investigating who poisoned and killed cattle. Now Benue and Plateau keep bleeding in the hands of Fulani herdsmen but our leaders and security agencies don't care.
Cow Republic of Nigeria we hail thee.

What else is expected of the government to do after its proposal was shut own because of tribalism.

When the government propose containment of herdsmen in designated areas across Nigeria, people we’re talking about land grabbing and Islamization WITHOUT better and more diplomatic suggestions.

Same measures don’t yield different result. The killing will continue until drastic measures are taking.

The situation in Nigeria is similar to that of the US. They keep complaining about mass shooting and gun violence but never ready to address issues.

Not ONE Governor in the entire Nigeria has given a better proposal than RUGA, but majority of them oppose it.

This is becoming too much. Are these Fulani herdsmen ghost or what...

Nnamdi Kanu spoke about this years back. He said they are coming for you, and to take your lands. But as usual, he is Igbo, so no one listened

They know that state police is the solution but instead of them to implement it, they continue to fool around and innocent citizens continue to die.

Honestly, I'm sick and tired of all these senseless killings by the herders and the deafening silence of government! What's happening in Nigeria sef? Can someone tell me why the Fulani invaders seem to enjoy special treatments in this country Is there anything government is not telling us

The other day in Uromi, some of these marauders were killed and the whole nation was agog with our political leaders finding their voices to condem the killings, but now many lives have been lost in Plateau and Benue yet everybody is silent! Our security agencies keep eating up taxpayers money without providing security! Quite unfortunate!

Why are they targeting the middle belt people

..and up till now no single fulani herdsmen has not been arrested by the police and federal government keeping quiet...but if the Fulani herdsmen cows are attacked and killed you will see the police coming out to arrest the attackers and government prescuting them..it's a pity

So where is this 90% reduction in violence and deaths Ribadu was talking balablu about

Racoon:
National Security adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has said that Nigeria has recorded over 90 percent improvement in insecurity under President Bola Tinubu istration.

Mr Ribadu stated this in Jos, Plateau State while briefing the press shortly after a meeting with the Commander of Operation Safe Haven, Major General Folusho Oyinlola at his office, following a gunmen attack on Bokkos community that left hundreds of residents killed.

According to him, President Tinubu istration will not relent in its efforts at ensuring peace and security in the country.

“In the last 1-year-ten-months, violent deaths have been reduced probably by over 90 percent in our country. We have the statistics, in 2022 and 2023 those who lost their lives as a result of extreme violence in the country has reduced,” Mr Ribadu disclosed.

The NSA stressed that a lot of bad people have been arrested and are undergoing investigations. “I can assure you that justice will be done, those who are found responsible will be prosecuted, we are doing it across the country.

“This Government has prosecuted close to 2,000 terrorists and we have got many convictions; we will not relent, we are serious, we are honest about what we are doing, we will do it to the best of our ability,” he said.

Why can’t the RUGA be in the northern states, the only drastic measures is people start fighting back and before you it , we are in civil war. They say in the history of the world, no country has survived a second civil war, well let’s see how it goes

why is Benue the best place to experiment RUGA?

why has RUGA not implemented in all the northern states?

or is that not where all the cattle and their herdsmen are from?
