Herdsmen Have Declared War Against The Nation, Says Soyinka by Crocky23: 3:38pm On Jan 10, 2018
Wole Soyinka, Africa’s first Noble laureate, says herdsmen have declared a war against Nigeria.

In a statement on Wednesday, the professor warned President Muhammadu Buhari against treating the situation in a way former President Goodluck Jonathan did at the early stage of the Boko Haram crisis.

He wondered why the federal government had not considered some of the suggestions which stakeholders recommended as solution.

He recalled that after “a hideous massacre” perpetrated by the herdsmen in 2016, a security meeting was called and the cattle rearers “attended the meeting — according to reports — with AK47s and other weapons of mass intimidation visible under their garments”.

“They were neither disarmed nor turned back. They freely admitted the killings but justified them by claims that they had lost their cattle to the host community,” he said.

“Such are the monstrous beginnings of the culture of impunity. We are reaping, yet again, the consequences of such tolerance of the intolerable. Yes, there indeed the government is culpable, definitely guilty of ‘looking the other way’. Indeed, it must be held complicit.”

“I am not aware that IPOB came anywhere close to this homicidal propensity and will to dominance before it was declared a terrorist organization.

“The international community rightly refused to go along with such an absurdity. The conduct of that movement, even at its most extreme, could by no means be reckoned as terrorism. By contrast, how do we categorize Myeti?”

Reacting to the comments credited to the herdsmen that the killings were in defence of their stolen cows, the nobel laureate, wondered: “How do we assess a mental state that cannot distinguish between a stolen cow – which is always recoverable – and human life, which is not.

“Villages have been depopulated far wider than those outside their operational zones can conceive. They swoop on sleeping settlements, kill and strut. They glory in their seeming supremacy.”

So the Fulanis attended the meeting with AK47 and no one challenged them? Which other tribe would go to a meeting called by security officials armed with AK47?

Which Nation?
Is it the Nation that Buhari has handed over to his Fulani Herdsmen?
I strongly feel Boko Haram are disguising as Herdsmen to carry out their killings. it even makes it more dangerous as herdsmen can free move to other parts of the country unhindered, which means Boko Haram can easily spread if herdsmen are not checked by putting a stop to Grazing..
Buhari should call his people to order.

The Fulani herdsmen killings is one issue I strongly feel the Nigerian people can thru the social media arm twist the FG to take a decisive step to curb, just like Nigerians made social media impact on SARS killings. But ironically, the media is awashed with uncoordinated rants and views about herdsmen killings.
Nigerians should start a #StopKillerHerdsmen"
