Ovaiegbe: I believe the STF must have reviewed intelligence information the had collated over time and decided that the most tactical action to take is to create a position from which to they can actually assume control of the crisis. Probably, insurgents have often diappeared when pursued into these areas suggesting that they may have a cover around the area.
These soldiers are human beigns too and therefore will die if shot at. No information is ever often given of dead soldier in this crisis areas yet they suffer loses too. If in their best judgement these communities need to move then so be it. Let us not forget that moving in a hurry under the watchful eyes of the soldiers will mean arms and ammunitions will be difficult to carry.
Let the soldiers be supported to do their job.

kaeto: Truth be told,other than drive the fulanis out there are other ways to make them irrelevant and hence dispensible. By this we can make them migrate northward voluntarily, 'cos i'm personally set at the edge at the sight of the troublesome fulanis pressing southwards as desertification sets siege in the northern parts of the country. If they(fulanis) are so keen on conquering the plateau, do this successfully, they will stop at nothing pressing down further to the East and ss as the west is a well captured territory by the fulanis,and they are ambivalently reluctant in this captivity.we must be a bit sentimental and selfish here,had we leaders who lead with pride and vision,to set up 'cattle ranches' in every LGA, produce tons of beef,milk and leather industrially, creating jobs and peace in the process. We could also selflessly develope modern graze fields in the far north,all it requires is dams, irrigation,bore holes and the spray hosts, and simultaneously bring desertification to a halt. But how can this come to mind, when the blind leadership of the pdp and acn have their hands tied to unproductive local tantrums,corruption and perpetual blindness. WOE to all blind politicians and thieves who prey on the lives of the defenceless and innocent and for a show make useless speeches and well wishes. Away with them, the killings are only a distraction from evil and daft reasoning by our leaders. I just got myself convinced that our leaders have disgraceful imbecillic traits. OUT!

Now if the Fulanis up North retaliated, Nlers would be calling Fulanis all sorts of names.

No one should be treated like foreigners in his own country. This is a very ediotic move.

I sympathize with Fulanis, esp the ones with pre-adolescence children.


Where is your president?

haisam: u ar an idiot did u tink chasing them out of their home can provide peace in platue? Bros dis embarasment can only make it worse, ar u not aware of the person that couse civil war and blodshed in nigeria after his death is recognised as nigeria's HERO chai it's disgusting my deepest sympathy to innocent fulani's

honeric01:

What relationship connects the Igbos to Lagos state and other states in Nigeria in the first place? what would you say if soldiers say Igbos should vacate Lagos and other states within 48hrs? especially the igbos that were born and grew up there?

Can you show me any documents stating that Fulanis were never living in Plateau in the first place?

emmykk: you are very dumb.
1st igbo dont occupy and make trouble remember sabo gari in kano.

And are fulanis killing people in Lagos? BTW, fulanis are also in other parts of other countries, why are they not killing overthere?

The issue is "why should they be sacked from their villages"? if that village is occupied by the fulani, why then do they want them vacate that area and to where?

nagoma: A whimsical jumbled up situation with no intelligence , investigation and prosecution will never solve any problems . A government that has abandoned th basic tenants of justice can never unite and rule a country. Fulani must stay put and go nowhere . This is another Rwanda and the two Jonas ( GEJ and Jang ) will pay for the ethnic cleansing. It is time for individual Soldiers to decide what is right.

honeric01:

You are a goat, read through my comparison to understand why i used igbo as a case study in this issue.

I can't keep repeating myself

Igbos migrate to where the money is and they are everywhere in Nigeria which is a good thing.

Fulani migrate to where good and green grasses is and they are everywhere in Nigeria and beyond which is also good.

The Fulanis are not claiming Plateau, that is A LIE but I said they can't be chased out from plateau because THEY ARE NIGERIANS and have the right to live in Plateau JUST LIKE the IGBOS, YORUBA, EDO, Hausa have the right to live anywhere in NIGERIA.

Geddit now mr dumbass?

joskid:

We keep hearing of this mythical "cow stealing" excuse all the time to justify murder and land-theft. I am sure they will say the Senator who died along with the other state House of Reps member stole Fulani cows as well...and that is why they died. Lame excuse as ever.

And so that you know...there are Berom people who also keep cows to which Fulanis have raided, killed and stolen their cows as well. There is a Federal School of Animal Husbandry (I think) in Vom and the same Fulanis raided the place, killed the guard and one Igbo family there and carted away with the school's cows. They attacked with the same hallmarks they have used elsewhere speaking the same Fula language with themselves.

We know your tricks. And the best you can do is to kill more Beroms for sending you away? This is not the 12th century with no radios, tvs and internet...this is the year of OUR LORD 2012 AD and we have the world open 24/7 to see what is happening anywhere. If you think raiding Berom villages at night will not be discussed even in the White House...you are joking!

honeric01:

Your head dey leak, 90% of my friends are IGBOS, but sensible ones, what you don't know, don't say.. i made comparison based on the "migrating" similarities, nothing else..

Igbos migrate to places they can make better money and with better opportunities
Fulani (the animal rearer) migrate to places they can get green and nourishing grass for their cows.

NOW CAN YOU SEE THE COMPARISON MR BLIND SENTIMENTAL BIGOT?

youngies: There is a fresh tension in some recently attacked villages in Plateau State after the Special Task Force (STF), charged with maintaining peace in Plateau, gave inhabitants of some crisis-prone villages 48 hours to vacate their communities.

In a statement, STF spokesman, Salisu Mustapha, said that a "military operation" is going on in the affected areas located in Barkin-Ladi and Riyom Local Governments.

"The inhabitants of the affected areas are to vacate immediately with their property," the statement stated.

The affected villages include - Mahanga, Kakuruk, Maseh and Shong 2.

The statement did not say where the inhabitants of the villages should head to, and whether they would be resettled.

A resident of one of the villages said it was unfair and uncharitable for the STF to order them out of their ancestral villages without providing alternatives.

"We know no other home," he said. "Where do they want us to go? Why must they treat us as if we are foreigners in our own country."

The villager indicated that he and his kinsmen might disregard the STF's order "since we have no were to go".

The STF however, advised residents of neighbouring settlements such as KuraFalls, Kuzuk, Sharuk, Rim of Gashish Districts not to panic.

"Residents of such areas should just be very careful of their movement within the area and avoid places of military operation until further notice," the STF said.

The task force also advised people to report any suspicious movement or activities in their areas.

The military operation may have resulted from the incessant attacks by gunmen on some communities in the areas.

Some of them are in my state already.

Which is also now their state. Unless you've forgotten, this is "Our" Nigeria. So is your state doing what it can to accommodate them?

emmke: what exactly is wrong with the vast lands in kano, katsina etc? Can't you see the fulani and berom can't live in peace? Why are you insisting that the fulani should stay put? You all are just a bunch of trouble makers.

ZUBY77:


Do you know the meaning of Ancestral ?

BRUNO17: Hey Retard!!!! the thing is do igbos go around killing there host?

buragidi: it's so stupid, buffonic and tombfoolery of you to respond in this manner. Are you not aware that Fulanis are involved in systematic and serial killing I other parts of the country, including Ogun State? Mr slowpoke, teLl me the difference between Fulani and Boko Haram.mtcheeee

Ileke-IdI:


shut up.

The comparison is valid because Fulanis and Igbos are the groups most found outside of their ancestral villages.

phildon: LWKMD! Discussing in deed. I dont blame you because you probably live elsewhere. The tru beroms are confessing already and they are begging for 'suluhu'. Take this ugly warning! Fulanis know no other trade than cattle rearing. You folks tamper wuth their livestock, ther'r ever ready to sacrifice their last drop of blood to avench!
