THE IMPLICATIONS OF GENERAL TY DANJUMAS COMMMENTS: THE DESTRUCTION OF NIGERIA BY CHRISTOPHER HARUNA HAMMAN

Over the weekend I did not have the time to take a look at the news as I always do due to the fact that I made new friends and was getting to understand them and their personalities (again as I always do). Only for this morning for me to wake up to check my e-mails and social media accounts to find out that one of our great legends and a national icon all by himself had addressed a group of young people at their convocation and within the address called on people to take up arms in the interest of self defense.

General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma is a legend all by himself. Agreed. However, he seems to want to destroy the very fabric of the country that made him so. The middle belt of this great country is the great uniting factor that bridges the divide between the conservatism of the north and the liberalism of the south. It is the very region that ultimately decides who wins or loses the presidential elections. It is the very place upon which the cradle of our national unity is birthed. Then you have one of the greats from that region call for the taking up of arms. One would then realize that we still have a long way to go in uniting Nigeria.

One obvious truth about the herdsman killings which cannot be ignored is that they employ guerrilla tactics in order to maintain an upper hand in the fluidity of conflict. As such, the balance of power when it comes to victory always lies in the hands of the so called herdsmen. As it is always with the rest of state when it comes to putting together an appropriate response to the newly formed menace, the government will take some time before results from all they are trying to do start to show.

One may fault the current administration on many things (which I do from time to time, just check my facebook wall), but not on security. The one thing that I have found to be quite impressive is President Buhari's commitment to the ensuring of the safety of lives and property of every Nigerian.

General Danjuma has just shot himself in the foot. This is because this is not 1980 or even 1998 that people will forget his statements in a hurry. This brings to the fore the issue of the Generals'minders and communications advisers. Were they asleep when he made those comments? He has just influenced a whole generation of young people to fight anyone that does not resemble them either in tribe, interest or religion and has forgotten that the great state of Nigeria owes its very existence to the unity in diversity concept that makes us the powerhouse that we are.

We cannot ignore the Nigeria becoming Somalia comment. We should not forget that it is words like these from people like him that cause the very scenarios that made such places to become known for the carnage and destruction that occurred. Nigeria is too big for anyone who has become like a living demigod to some to wake up one day and call for civil violence on a massive scale. Imagine if every person in Nigeria who can bear arms to have a gun, imagine what kind of destruction and waste to human life can occur on such a scale? The military is right on this one and the restriction of arms is not a bad thing in itself. It is for our security nationally.

Probably it is time for the General at 80 to take some time off to relax and enjoy his family. Such comments that fan the flames and embers of national disunity with the hints of insurrection and are not needed especially considering the fact that next year is an election year or is General TY trying to tell us something that we need to know politically? Is this what the General wants to be known for? A conflict creator?

Nigerias' future depends on the ability of Nigerians to believe in Nigeria.It appears that even the General has stopped believing in the Nigeria that made him what he is today. And many Nigerians were hailing his comments and supporting the bearing of arms by the general civilian populace. Only if they understood the very implications of those comments. That is when and where you hear things like mass genocide, civil war and so on and so forth. Anybody who understands the results of warfare would be careful to speak when talking about such things.

We as Nigerians should believe in the politics of ideas. Not one of tribe, religion or separatist sentiments. Imagine if the Northern Muslims and Southern Christian Generals and National Icons also call for the bearing of arms. What kind of scenario would that create?

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. United we stand. Divided we fall!

Nigeria was never great, is not great and can never be great. I stand with General T.Y.Danjuma and urge all Christians to be at alert as the Muslims have an inordinate plan to kill and dominate.

You can’t tell people who have been let down by their army not to get arms to defend themselves.

We shall see who shall prevail at the end.

To you, those who were killed by Fulani herdsmen of which Miyetti Allah have claimed responsibility several times are fóols, those who lost loved ones are also fóolish ? You advice people to wait and die like Christmas goats just to be politically correct abi ? Op, pray you do not lose anybody to these killer herdsmen even though such an event will reset your flawed thinking process. I am guaranteed the right to defend myself, property and loved ones by Nigerias constitution and even if you and your pay masters don't like it, I'll still defend myself. I also urge other other wise Nigerians to follow the same path since the FG is also biased in It's dealings on this matter, favouring the Fulani terrorists instead. A word is enough for the wise

moderators please move this to the garbage section.

Destruction indeed. Under the law self defense is allowed, the real individual who wants to destroy Nigeria is President Buhari who is turning a blind eye to the atrocities of the Fulani herdsmen. What a shame.

It is very clear that this OP and the author of this article are supporters of terrorism.

I gave up on our country's security since the day Buhari and Buratai hoisted Boko Haram Flag/Banner in Aso villa.

I mean which president does that??

I'm sure you've not lived in fear of been attacked by enemies before. So... You're saying the people shouldn't defend themselves after losing 78 souls, but wait on Nigerian Army that couldn't stop Boko Haram from kidnapping school girls to save them. I wish your family to be exposed to such situation.

May your fada and moda die like victims of Fulani herdsmen attack.

May your fada and moda die like victims of Fulani herdsmen attack.

I think that some people here are thinking with their behinds! Community policing is the answer to these problems. State police will curb a whole lot of these excesses. I have a right to my opinion considering the fact of where I come from and who I am....if you don't like the article leave me in peace abeg!

I did not make mention of the fact that I AM jukwun by tribe from takum lga... and to the conehead who called for my father and mother to be killed in attacks wetin?U dey use ur head like dustbin abi? @ kernel05, @barrydee u ever see jukwun man support terrorism?Maybe in your dreams sha,,, @conehead2018 u r a bastard of a bastard...

Another useful idiot on the loose

OP.
You can hide under a Christian name at the same time wearing fake robe of a 'patriot'. I have seen right through your post and I can tell, you are a Fulani man trying to help advance the agenda to annihilate people and occupy their ancestral lands.

However, this 'hidden' agenda was bursted in 2014 by NK. Then, people thought he was just 'kidding', but right now, every body eye don clear.

This 'agenda' will NEVER succeed. You people can continue to preach unity and 'one Nigeria'. But what majority are saying now is: Divide this sh*thole.

lets put sentiments aside. If your brother is in danger of being killed by a known enemy,what advice are you going to give your brother? The Fg swung into action killed many defenceless ipob members and went ahead to tag them terrorists and today ipob is almost becoming a history but when the issue of Fulani herdsmen killing are being discussed, the fg is showing a non challant attitude towards the killings that are going on in almost every part if the country save the north west.
Again the army has been involved in situations that led to the suspicion. One of those victims of herdsmen attack in plateau state recounted on how they were led by the army to a so called safe place only to be attacked by the Fulani militia. We have had situation whereby the military bombed villages while claiming ignorance. General danjumas statement is born out of frustration. I situation whereby people are killed and those who are meant to protect them are no where to be found. In this case self defence is the only solution.
I wish the government can just allow us have guns in our houses. The worst situation a man can find himself is a situation whereby he is helpless in the face of is enemy.

People talk shit....simply because of lack of knowledge and information.

Boko haram and herdsmen are all a product of the North, it is a northern Religious agenda.

A Northern political and Religious tool and a secret army by the North with the sole purpose of ethnic cleasening, systematically orchestrated to intimidate, kill, islamize, and colonize none Muslims and the South, they have the support of the Nigerian army.

So If your a soldier from the South and your killed by boko haram your a fool, you died for nothing, you are a waste to your generation.

If your loved ones have been murdered by herdsmen and all you can do is cry and run to Buhari for protection with out fighting back your are a fool.

If you allow Fulani herdsmen invade your land rape your women and kill you like a goat, your a waste.

If your from plateau state, Benue state and taraba state, and up till now you still don't have a gun or a means to defend yourself against the Fulani herdsmen, you are a fool and will die like a goat very soon.

Getting Guns is no longer a big deal in Nigeria, from locally made to foreign made is really affordable, you need it if your a none Muslim and a southern.

Have you ever heard of the 25th amendment in the U.S
Its about self defense.

Arm yourselves!
Arm yourselves!!
Arm yourselves!!!

Defend yourselves!
Defend yourselves!!
Defend yourselves!!!

It is your God given right.
It is better to die defending yourselves than to be slaughtered like goats without any effort to defend yourselves.

I love you!

You're not supporting Boko Haram, but you're asking people not to defend themselves against terrorist.

You lack objective, if your government fails to protect your family, what do you do?

Yet the idiot of a writer has seen nothing wrong with Buhari clearly approving the illegal arming of terrorist Fulani herdsmen to keep killing innocent Nigerians while the Armybis clearly ordered to take sides with the terrorist Herdmen....

General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma is a legend all by himself.

Yes. A legend that killed a Head Of State.
Danjuma and his clique destroyed Nigeria starting 1966. Now the middle belt that fought with hausa/fulani againt the Igbo are in the grip of the beast. They should enjoy the fruits of their labour.

And no, I am not Igbo.

shhhhh

Meaningless article ....not like i am a fan of T.Y Danjuma in any way.

Thief danjuma said everyone should become an army to fight the army

You said The Herdsmen used guerrilla styles which is the Speciality of Buhari. Danjuma knows Buhari so well that he must use alternative reporting to call him to order. The Buhari I know seems like a man with a Mind-set who will never turn back from The Script he is acting, till you treathen him with chaos. Danjuma is therefore indirectly advising Mr. President to restructure the Country as the people want before he fires us all. Danjuma, IBB, OBJ and Gowon are aware of the Cabal around him.

@ fairaideed. I am a greatgrandson of the Yeriman Tikari in Takum LGA! Same place as TY. Youre a bastard of a bastard of a bastard to seven generations! I cannot be fulani. Idiot of no recompense value.... The Igbo that said shhhh...wetin concern you.... fimisile joor... The spelling of Jukun or Jukwun depends on the translation of the tribal name..... Go and check....

@ngookafor It is your life that is meaningless. That is why you cant criticize constructively. Go and open that thing between your legs for some Old fart, maybe that is when your life will get meaning...

I can't find one area to agree with the PO. His post made no sense and atimes I wondered if he actually lives in Nigeria orvreside on mars. I live here and the picture you painted bears no resemblance to the Nigeria of today. TY Danjuma is on spot and my only problem with what he said is that it is coming a little late. For over 3 years now all honest and well meaning Nigerian have been saying what has been happening to no avail. I guess it had to him close to home to really feel it and speak up

no, you are not a Christian

no, you are not a Christian

So because I am a Christian, I should lie down and let Muslims kill me? lol, you think you can use your taqqiyyya to deceive all Christians?

It will be fire for fire from now on. Christians won’t roll over for muslims to kill us again

Go and tell Buhari and the north that we are now wise.

This OP was what oxford dictionary described as 'FOOLISH'
