This is heartbreaking, such gory pictures

Why this bloodshed every now and then in Benue? Benue state used to be one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria

The federal government of Nigeria has failed the people of Benue state woefully in the area of security.

There's food crisis in Nigeria today because the food basket of the nation is bleeding.

From one crisis to another, oh my Benue

No civilized society will allow such unspeakable atrocities to continue, this is heart-rending.

Trademarks of the BAT era.

BAT -- Buhari And Tinubu
BAT -- Blood And Tears.

CRUDE DEATH, Blood And Tears is a major IDENTITY of the Buhari And Tinubu era in Nigeria's history.

I am working on getting a nice gun for myself and have it licensed no matter what the cost is.

In our local parlance, we say; Sit down look, na dog name.
