politics aside, Nigeria has witnessed so many killings especially in the north. I remember when igbos used to be slaughtered in Kano, kaduna etc, at the slightest provocation. In the eighties it used to be between the tivs of venue state and Jukuns of present taraba state. Many were killed in that conflict. Southern Kaduna conflict had been from time immemorial. During Babangida regime there was serious massacre of people in Kaduna that one Gen Lekwot of southern Kaduna was sentenced to death, alleged as the mastermind of the killings. God being kind to him ,Abacha pardoned him. Sometime in 2014 over 500 people were massacred in plateau state, even a serving senator was killed too. I lived in benue state for over ten years and I can tell you for free that what they call villages there are just inhabited by 10 - 20 families in the midst of vast grass land. It takes over 1 - 2hrs to go from these villages to the nearest police station. This makes it difficult for security personnel to respond to emergencies. some of these places that have telephone network to communicate easily. In my opinion I will say that the country is under policed especially in the north. Though their population density is far less that places in the south, but they are widely spaced and prone to attack. Let us collectively proffer solutions instead passing blames. |

Misterdhee1: I thought so too, but on a second thought it became clear to me that a man who is more concerned about his party's image than people's lives have nothing upstairs. |

In life, there is something called Karma. During the 1966 pogrom that paved way to the civil war, a train that conveyed over 800 Igbo men, women and children coming from the North was ambushed in Benue. The occupants were marched down and murdered in cold blood. None escaped. The act was carried out by indigenes of Benue themselves. Now it's their turn. Whatever a man sows, he will definitely reap. |

GoodGovernance: C'mon take this trash out of here. Who does not know that one can walk into any business centre and produce something like this in under an hour? GEJ is grand patron and yet buhari can't do anything about the killings! Continue blaming GEJ who is enjoying his retirement for even your failed erection. Nonsense! |
