deadkamalu:
these places you are naming is nowhere near sankera axis of the state where the militas hold sway and the military is out there flushing them out so that the humans living there can live in peace but here you are twisting the story or should the military allow the militia gangs continue in armed robbery,kidnappng and killings because fulanis are displacing people in naka road?

dadavivo:
We complained about buhari choosing only Fulanis in Nigeria military chiefs, afonjas with fake educational certificate said we're wailing, now see what Christians are pass through in the middle belt. God will judge you people

9jaArea:


That is the salient question begging for an answer, how are we even sure they are not involved in some of the killings attributed to the herders? If this issue is not logically looked at there's no end in sight anytime soon.

ImperialYoruba:


Im going to tell you like this, Audu Ogbeh, a Benue man, spoke and said there are millions of hectares of land gazzetted as grazing routes and cover every region of Nigeria.

Fulani pressure group under direction of Sultan, Emir of Kano and some other military generals acting as patrons, are insisting that to change culture of the nomad fulani and make him accept ranching will be a political defeat, they insist their opponents must yield and be forced by any means necessary to abandon their land to nomad culture and give victory to fulani.

They tried to concile the gazzettes and make it a constitutional act. If that happens it becomes criminal not to give your land if fulani says he wants it. They met stiff opposition there. They tried a backdoor arrangement to give Local Governments autonomy. They met stiff opposition.

They have threatened media and journalists about their style of reporting on farmers mass murder by fulani herdsmen. Fulani are still killing a lot of people around the country but you will notice the reporting has almost died off.

This aerial bombardment is a desperate solution. They are afraid Buhari may not return to power. While he is there they are bringing all measures to the table to forcibly eradicate people from their farms and land and repopulate it with fulani. You notice this report came from Punch. Has any other news media reported it?

There is already a war in Nigeria but its a cleansing. Certain ethnics are being cleaned out to acquire land for Fulani and change the demography and voting pattern for complete patronage of fulani.

Imagine fulani succeed in Benue, Taraba, Nassarawa, Plateau. Thats the end of anything called middlebelt. That's an integral North. How do you suppose the South will have any majority vote against the interest of North in National Assembly? With their majority they can then establish grazing routes anywhere they want, which is difficult to do now because middlebelt votes with South to kill the bills.

A defeat of middlebelt now is a defeat of South in a future rebalance in NASS. South must quickly bring about restructuring or provide militia to aid middlebelt and defeat fulani encroachment.

Mandeyy:
I believe u and the other guy. I believe that some of these killings are not carried out by Fulani herders, rather political thugs who turned into thieves do them, and the govt is aware. Instead of doing something, they turn their eyes their other way. I'm Igbo, but i know the truth when i see one. Your evidence proves to me you're telling the truth. However, no matter how well intentioned this action of airforce may be, it's not proper, cos a lot of innocent souls may die in the process.

Enice:
you are the one with a fake educational certificate. As usual, rushing to comment nonsense on an issue you know nothing about. Now it is a christian/muslim thing abi?
Arepo is a community in Ogun state. When it was being liberated by government forces from cultist, militants and bunkerers, the headlines was "Arepo under attack by government forces" but was it the community that was under attack or the militants therein? Stop these rubbish. Do you know if these attacks are on the killer herdsmen, armed robbers or militants? You don't. It is a shame really that people now make comments without being backed by facts.

9jaArea:
That area is notorious for armed militia, in 2016 about six soldiers were ambushed and killed in that axis.

The sensational style of reportage adopted by the Nigerian media is doing a lot more harm than good to the society, considering that a good number of Nigerians are lazy when it is a question of reading as it is evident here.

one day all these things go happen to Una family too

Viruscod3d:
na wa o .. all these places you guys are mentioning brings sweet memory of my nysc days of 2013/2014 .. where did all these militias suddenly spring out from .. kastina ala, zaki biam and sankera were my zones and things were so sweet then, what went wrong

SarkinYarki:
When we said the govt has been using Nigerian airforce assets to provide air support for Fulani militia many thought it was an over exaggeration but now y'all can see ... The truth must be told the Benue issue has all the tell signs of a govt backed pogrom

Midastorch:


Don't you have the fear of Godyour hatred for the president is your right,but don't lie brov....this propaganda will not take you anywhere,noone is persecuting Christians........all these wailings of christian persecution should stop,this is dirty politicking showing off in Benue state...... Don't be gullible to believe what politicians want you to believe......thank you

9jaArea:


I soul filled with hatred cannot reason properly, most of them saying there's an Agenda to wipe out an entire tribe have never been 100km close to Benue talk more of stepping a foot in the state but they sit behind a phone and talk nonsense.

Nbote:
Conducting Airstikes on communities with civilians? Anyway let's wait till we get d full picture before I comment.. Dis is all shades of wrong.. I don't pity benue ppl anymore

loomer:


no matter how notorious the place be, that's not enough reason to bombard a community.

when bokoharam dey do their own, na so them bombard villages?

deadkamalu:
the opinion those folks hold matters not,the crux is that the residents of those local government are happy with the military action,at last they can live in peace.

anyone remember the zaki biam yam market massacre that killed up 50 people sometime last year,it was carried out by these gangs.

9jaArea:


Stop paying too much attention to sensational headlines. If an entire community was bombarded, do you think there will be no noise coming out of Benue?

SalamRushdie:


There Is clearly a conspiracy to wipe out the Benue people from the Benue Valley

richeeyo:
why are you people just ignorant, think before you talk, opinion like this make a good example of a lazy Nigerian youths brain

ruggedboy01:
They should take the bombing sphere to sambisa, hope omenka's village Hut was not bombed before he run to abia state again

SarkinYarki:


Hello My Fulani brother

The source said, “Gbise, Ayaka and other nearby villages in Katsina-Ala were on Saturday bombarded by the air force. These are reprisal attacks by the military to clear the hoodlums who attacked Maj Gen Malu when he was home last week.

“There were mortars, artillery pieces, assault rifles and aerial bombardments.”

sparkle6:
This niaja is a big joke.
how can you conduct airstrike in your own country, what will happen if we then go at war with iran.
are they just showing off their newly acquired jets on the same land they govern because of ordinary hoodlums. not even an advancing battalion of syrian army, just robbers a squad of military men can take out.
if they tell them now to fight north korea with their so called jets na, they will refuse. ndi ara.!

buhariguy:
you have explain your own, clap for yourself,
Nonsense.

And people like you need to be arrested for hate speech
