Some Nigerian Twitter users are alleging that farmers are being forced to negotiate with bandits before they can harvest their crops in the North - Zamfara, Katsina.

@AM_Saleeem had tweeted:

Bandits are collecting sum of N800,000 as tax from local farmers in Ɗan Kurmi under Maru LG of Zamfara, but social media bill and EndSars protest is more important to Northern Governors than insecurity.�

Then, @aminuyaro_ replied, sharing his own story.

Same with Yankara community under Faskari LG of Katsina state. Before they allow you harvest your crops, you’ve to negotiate with them and pay a minimum of 300k. The bigger the farm, the higher the price. If you refuse to pay the ransom, they’ll burn the crops.

Another Twitter user, Ibrahim Umar Rufa’i @khaliifa_Umar corroborated what the other two earlier said:

Exactly that’s what happened to us in Damari village under sabuwa LG, katsina state. We have to negotiate with d bandits before they allow us to harvest our crops.

Imagine the kind of country I am.

God! How did I get here?

In my opinion, I believe the Northerners deserve what they have. Majority of them were all over the media condemning the #endsars protest and calling reasonable southerners all sort of names.

Their leaders are more concerned with silencing the massing through the evil social media regulation bill than face the problems bedeviling the region.

Again I ask, how did I get to share a country with these kind of people?

There Problems are Southern Nigeria and Endsar....
Confused qworo people.....

Can U Imagine?

FG can't declare operation snake fist or lion hoof on these bandits. if na lekki now....

How to use thugs against EndSARS protesters and regulating social media is more important for our leaders here in North

Nigeria is being run to favour the north. Imagine freezing the accounts of #EndSars protesters yet not a single sponsor of these bandits or Boko Haram has had their accounts blocked.

Any Southerner still supporting this government needs to have his head examined.

Fake news.
Cc arrewa, itsmeaboki, nameaboki, friendng

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Bandits nd miscreants too one cash out!!

That's crazy.

Nawa oo this is serious
the government there, isn't doing anything about it

Which kind wahala be this?

That's crazy. Things fall apart.

Damnnn niggarrrr
Isoright...
The north don't know what they have put their hand into

Criminals are treated like kings only in Nigeria Anything is possible if Governor's can negotiate with them, anybody can do the same

Buhari is just starting with us.

I hope we don't wake up one day to see Northerners on our streets, lining us up into real life slavery.

The clowns will come out to say ENDSARS protesters are behind insecurity in the North and high cost of food items in the South.

The south needs to start fending for its own food else, we will be the ones to cover for this food robbery that has already begun.

The handwriting never clear reach??

Pls endure and pay those guys. Sai baba till 2044

Team herdsmen

Northern Nigeria in the news for all the wrong reasons lately

Evil

E no concern us, They created the monsters after them.....

Hmmmm

From all of us at vulturebbqgrills we thank you our darling daddy for this great news, we know that it is PDP's fault that you and the midget can't handle the security challenges in the country.

It is a pity

hmm

Na family problem wetin concern me ..wahala for people way get bandit's

Na buhari children... Wat do u expect?

Lol. Somehow funny

Grovernor Zulum said this before the army ....the army denied and attacks on his convoy intensified
Banditry and compromise from our security forces is now a business

Frankly speaking we have a very useless set of Northern Governors....instead of them to gather and plan on how to stop the MONSTROUS INSECURITY in the NORTH some days ago they were more concerned about discussing and proposing a Social Media Regulation Bill.....
Anyways what do I know about what their
priorities are!?

All I'll say is every Young Nigerian Citizen must be ready to become active in making sure we create a paradigm shift in our Electioneering henceforth!!!

Proactivity Leads To Productivity!

The same way Fulani herdsmen are destroying farms and lives in the south south and south east region. It's good to have a taste of your own medicine.
