Noted but if U quote what a person says and you are not disputing it, amount to you being in agreement with such statement. Don't you think so?

These people really think nigeria belongs to them. so all kidnappings are in the east and all kidnappers are easterners, the recent report of the state with the highest kidnap rate is kaduna and most of the kidnappers and kidnapped are northerners including a former minister of the federal republic of nigeria. Note we have herdsmen in all tribes in nieria but the hersdmen that kill and destroy communities of their hosts are fulanis. Go and kill yourself if you dont like the truth.

Again, the Fulanis (Muslims) were painted as killers while Benue militias (Christians) who rustle Fulani cattles and slaughter their wives and children were not featured. This is grossly unfair. Falz should find a way of balancing his video. The kidnappers of the South East (also Christians) were spared while the oil saboteurs of the Niger Delta (Christians too) were ignored. Falz video is loaded with Islamophobia. That video should be titled ‘This is not Nigeria’. It is Islam-bashing. Nigeria’s video regulatory agency should therefore ban the video or ask the artist to edit it properly.

With this latest development and even before the seven-day ultimatum expires, MURIC is no longer contemplating court action against Falz, neither are we demanding any apology from him or his management. The likely pecuniary gain in the event of a court validation of our claims does not interest us. We are no longer looking at Falz but at a larger picture.

The courts will only be interested in legalities, judiciability and technicalities but the video board will look beyond all that. Is it professional? Is it balanced? Is it truly representative of our country? Is it morally justifiable? These are what will interest the board and they are in tandem with our thinking. We appreciate artists and our aim is not to punish Falz. He is not a lazy Nigerian youth.

The matter will now go to those government agencies who are supposed to do their jobs in the first place. Instead of creating media tension and granting cheap popularity, this matter will now be handled by professionals who know what to do.

Our emphasis is going to be mainly on the portrayal of Fulanis as killers in the video with the concomitant ugly perception it is likely to create among Nigerians as well as its bandwagon effect on the image of Muslims in general. This is one area Falz has not been able to explain away, yet he refused to apologise. That aspect of the video would have been edited had the censorship agencies done what was expected of them or if Falz had followed due process.

In the interest of peace, law and order, we are calling on the National Film And Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to take up the matter from this moment. Although MURIC will still do a followup with an official petition, we expect the board to have begun its independent investigations on the matter particularly with the furore generated by the issue.

In a nutshell, we insist that Falz video “This is Nigeria” is offensive and provocative. It portrays Fulanis (and Nigerian Muslims) as killers. It is capable of igniting crisis and precipitating a general breakdown of law and order. The video board must therefore do the needful.

Like seriously? This guy is far more insane than I imagined
Stop convulsing ignorantly. The ND guys had a good cause to fight for. The SE kidnappers are being dealt with serious (don wanny, godogodo, the Delta missionary killers are examples). The Fulani's are being defended and ignored by same people dealing with those I mentioned.

With ranches it will be easier to monitor the herdsmen against rustlers and for tax or even record keeping purpose.

Falz couldn't have highlighted every crime but the most telling ones. He left Imams alone and attacked pastors twice in the video but you guys didn't see those.

booqee:
as in that part shocked me. How can he boldly and shamelessly say the benue people are terrorising fulanis and their cattles? When instead and indeed, they're the ones going on a killing rampage. Jeezzz

Sometime you just wonder if their senses left them at birth. This is so bad. Can you even imagine they try to turn the whole thing around to claim the victims.

Tonto Dikeh has been celebrating her 33rd birthday for about 4 days now and with her admittance is finding the entire experience overwhelming already! (Who would have thought that?), Oh well, she shared some photos from her party dinner along with some epistle as usual, see the messages below:

Thank You Everyone:
I always had the conviction that one day I would understand the concept of genuine love. I would watch swarms of people gather in celebration of one person and I would be in awe. My thoughts couldn’t understand how one person could attract so much love and care from a vast amount of people from all walks of life. Well now I do! Words cannot describe the emotions I felt at my birthday. I finally realised that in order To receive that genuine love I had to first draw it from within me and give it out.Thank you to my special friends for making my day by dancing, laughing and appreciating me. May your happiness never run dry in Jesus name!! I just want to take this moment to say God bless you all. The love each and everyone of you showed me on my big day will forever be cherished and stored in my heart. I love you guys. Thank you so much to all my Social@media family,Team mates,Folks..
I’m overwhelmed by your genius Love..
As you celebrated me may my God celebrate you too..
