Nigerians have continued to react to recent address by President Mohammadu Buhari’s remarks at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja, March 24, 2016 in which he listed some of the challenges facing his government but failed to mention the menace of fulani herdsmen named by the global terrorism index to have killed about 1,229 in the last two years
For Niger Delta, President Buhari said, “the militants are sending some conflicting messages. Some have said they are ready to drop their arms and join the rest of the nation to build it. But part of them are still sabotaging installations which is making investments in that lucrative area of Nigeria difficult because nobody will submit his riches to financial institutions, get money only to suffer huge loss. So, the environment for investment is being sabotaged by our own selves, Nigerians.”
Below is a cross section of reaction by Nigerians who were surprised that the President did not say anything about the menace of the fulani herdsmen. This discussion was initiated by social media activists, Ena Ofugara
At the recent meet of APC, Buhari gave a long speech one of which referred to what he says as vomit. Okay, that is not the point. He mentioned all the evils in the land, as usual blamed GEJ for not saving money for him (despite about 37 billion saved in total for him). He mentioned the east, Boko Haram, and dwelt on Niger Delta.
Pls, who saw where he mentioned Fulani herdsmen and the sacking of communities in the Middle Belt? Who read it pls?
Fulani herdsmen are responsible for the foot shortage with the killing of farmers in “the food basket” state of Benue. Yet Buhari did not once mention them. To even pretend and criticize Nigeria’s number two menace and world number 4 menace, Fulani herdsmen, Buhari will not. A people who in one month have killed all the people that Niger Delta militants, Biafra agitators, OPC, etc etc have killed in 30 years, yet it does not make it into Buhari’s pre- one year anniversary speech.
We told you the Fulani killers are following a script and are well backed, did we not?
Reactions
Ebono Christian Bros Ena you are a prophet.
Daniel Chase Mr. President, act of prejudice against persons not conformity to his person is so legendary.
Kizito Williams Mcgeorge Bros u nailed it. he neva said anything about those.bloodsuckers
Ibeh Chikeziem Kasiemobi Buhari first visit after his inauguration was to his cows, this shows the level of value he placed on cows. To him human lives don’t matter, it is cows
Paul Oge Just imagine that!
Eec Ossy Launch Could it be that APC is devil
Liliane OpuAda The man is so biased!
Afatakpa Omos Yet one Niger Delta misroad that Fulani herdsmen slaughtered his uncle and aunty in Uwerhu clan will jump in here and defend him. Pity.
Obukohwo Ubiawhe We go see how much he go leave when he comot
He has boldly stated his desire to spread Sharia by all means, as well defended Boko Haram to be his blood brother…what again do anyone …See More
Iyke Onyeabor I will not say anything, make I just share this one like that
Emeka Mohpheth Ogoabia Enalysis my bros. Are you new? dont you know that buhari is The King of the fulanis? he is their protector,defender and is here for their interest
Henri Omodjota He’s no longer the BH head? I think you are missing something here or you must be one of the confirmed Morally Displaced Persons that escaped from the camp in the SE region some few days ago? Just stay hold while I confirm via Google.lol
Teeto Omooba Speechless
cc-Eboigbe Samuel Eboigbe
Chuks Enyi How do you expect him to condemn his foot soldiers? If the Fulani herdsmen don’t have his backing, he would’ve done something about it or at least condemn their attacks.
If you know it, then you already know what Ena is saying.
Stanley Amaogo Apc is Islamic party, is not hidden, look at all the appointments they have made so far, the party is associated with evil human blood, the party born out of blood of innocent Nigerian, killed by bokoharam there foot soldiers, don’t be surprised if they don’t care about the loose life in agatu and aba, he speaks about Rivers and Niger is because of their selfish interest, oil oil and oil, that is why Apc and buhari is instigating killing in Niger delta, just to control the oil, that is just there only interest.
Obukohwo Ubiawhe The only thing when dey sweet this man na the fruit from south south not the people
Philip Kalusi Anybody wey read am make e put him hands up for this class.
Chukwurah Ifeanyi Ena na wah for you o! How do u expect a man that supported BH publicly when the whole world is against the sect to mention ‘ordinary’ fulani herdsmen? when if we torchlight things well well we fit see the herdsmen has the blessings of the presidency
Let’s take note of that.
Philip Kalusi @ Adb Festus Yinka, for Mayetti Allah to openly acknowledge the reason why Agatu was torched and these people are still free is unbelievable. God help us in the Niger Delta.
Maxwell Godwin Have been reliably informed that Buhari was one time the president general of fulani herdsmen in the whole of Africa.
Chidi Ndukwu Any person with half a brain will not find it difficult to figure out that any new rerun election in Rivers will claim more innocent and not so innocent lives. But our dear President did not deem it fit to order the inconclusive national electoral commission to release concluded results.
Kenney Goldmann Sit down look na dog name
Mafemi Joseph Blame the Yorubas who likes the agbero in the motor park knew that the vehicle’s engine was bad yet started loading the vehicle. If the vehicle brakes down as it is with Nigeria blame the Yorubas.
Prince Ime I thought I was the odd man out when i didn’t read a single word from him on the same matter…. Which is even gradually spreading to other hinterlands
Calista Omoregie May boko haram /fulani herdsmen locate all those who support PMB nd APC. Wicked heartless devilish confused people, mtchewwwww
Immaculate Iheanacho Onyeukwu Is a pity and that is why those people who are casting aspersions on the emerging nation like biafra are oblivious of the evil in Nigeria. I stand for IPOB: that is the only way my future and that of my children can be sure.
Takure Uruemuesiri Olyvia Even the atrocities by Dakuku and ame judas is not important to him. Lies lies lies
Okongwu Promise The people that are change extremists, the people whose Messiah has come, those that will accept even nepa bill…
How market?
Henri Omodjota I never knew the Niger Delta militant killed and are still killing….you just inform me on that. Pls hold, while I put a call to Asari and OlopmoT to confirm this allegation of killing done by them.lol
Tonye Oriakhi The death of any human is not a thing to LOL about. If you think what he’s doing is good, then i really feel for you.
Isy Ukaegbu That man is a total bigot and unrepentant wicked man, when his Governors forced Jonathan to share the monies, what does he expect to see, Goodluck even tried to leave some money for him, they should release the Rivers election results fools!
Chuks Mgborie When you mention 37 billion, you have to be specific, was it 37 billion Naira, 37 billion dollars, 37 billion pounds, or 37 billion Euros?
Iyke Onyeabor $37,000,000,000.00 yeah dazzit!!!
Ena Ofugara dollars. 30 in foreign reserve, 6 in NLNG, and i believe 3 in sovereign wealth fund but I am not over sure of the amount, so I just said one.
Charles-Destine Mogbo Honestly, it’s either his handlers and speech writers are so dumb or the man at the top is so heartless, wicked, sectional, sentimental and insensitive to insist that such is never added or when added, should be removed, because he is the patron, provider, protector, projector and preacher of fulanization of Nigeria
Enamuhor Kurtis That’s the king of Boko Haram
Domo Igbodo-Krukrubo We are in real trouble
Ogunka Ojimah why would he betray his own people. PMB is a Fulani. one thing I know for sure, they dare not try that rubish in the Nija Delta region, especially in Rivers or Bayelsa.
Daniel IG Obasi It’s funny how people are talking about a group of animals without any code or remorse will not dare to do what they do in other places as if villagers in Rivers or Bayelsa are better self armed more than people of Benue. These animals can sneak into any village and open fire. The best we can do now is put pressure on this Dullard to keep them in their area, since they can’t coexist with others
Beni Tindell Thank you, you are one of the very few that have gotten it right
Daniel IG Obasi They have been emboldened by the man in ASO rock, The police see them with UNLICENSED ARMS AND LOOK THE OTHER WAY, WHAT WILL STOP THEM FROM ENTERING ANY SMALL VILLAGE IN RIVERS, ABIA, BAYELSA AND OPENING FIRE. THIS IS HOW SERIOUS THIS IS NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY WILL DARE OR NOT WILL STOP THEM. THE PRESIDENCY SHOULD BE FORCED TO SEE THEM AS A THREAT EVEN IF THEY ARE HIS RELATIONS
Emeka Mohpheth Ogoabia Henri Omodjota.How right is PMB to see wrong in the belgium bombing and is quiet over fulani herdsmen? As for you calling me names its unfortunate because you cant do otherwise.thats typical of buhari supporters.
Ndukwe Alex In d zoo republic cows ar valuable dan human beigns, attack on any cow is attack on d north. evil kwantri.
Essien A. Essien Obviously in his sanctified mind, the heinous acts of d fulani herdsmen are not evil. They are acts of saints.
Obidike Ifunanya Is better for those Benue pple. They are the ones shouting sai baba during election
Samuel Okpako A day of reckoning is coming
Ebitebekuma Inengite-McEteli From the crises rocking this nation I pray he will NOT be the LAST president of ONE Nigeria . Meaning- presiding over the disintegration of Nigeria according to the US prediction !!!
Jeremiah Ukachukwu This is disturbing and thought provoking.
Austin Oruese Enekabor Buhari will resign!!!
Anthony Magnus My first comment Ena post,i like most of your post but with all due respect,it’s irresponsible of you to associates Biafra with any irresponsible group in nigga area that’s known for killing of any kind ok.
Akin Ayilara Never expect better !!
Chioma Onuoha Please where and when did BIAFRAN agitators killed any one? Don’t drag us down with bokoharam and Fulani madness biko.
Udoye Emmanuel Uchenna He is there life patron, as a patron he is to protect their interest irrespective of what the outcome will be
Hansome Hanson These are exactly what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been saying since last year. Every step of this administration is simply to annihilate the south. Niger Delta oil resources belong to the north they are saying
Philip Aikhuomobhogbe Buhari is a cattle rearer and his boys and colleagues are killing and maiming all over the country, so do you expect him to codemn them when they are working according to their plan?
Felix Sweet My mother-in-law from abia, just reported this morning that they’ve resorted to burning their farmland and stay without cultivating anything this year than watch fulanis with their cows graze over the farmland, rendering the Labour and time imputed useless..
Chidi Ugwu Chai!
George Onaho I thought I was d only one dat is bordered by such deliberate oversight by d ‘President of Fulani herdsmen’ o…?!
Oshiokpekhai Orbih I have known long ago that Buhari is very complicit in the terror that has enveloped Nigeria. Thank you for your very unique observation. He was quick to mention Rivers and turned a blind eye to the carnage and bloodletting by the Fulani Terrorist. This is the simple reason I call him a fundamentalist and Jihadist with all conviction and with no apology
Jefferson Aitanke PMB is the Grand-Kandi Fulani! Meaning Leader of the Fulani. PMB is a religion Bigotry.
Okechukwu Peter For men the killings from Fulani herdsmen is BUHARI’s agenda for Nigeria otherwise let him prove himself.
Frank Ejike Singing….am in trouble,am in real big trouble…someone please call 911
Uzuegbu Ifeanyi Life patron of Fulani heardsmen… What do u expect
Oinu Ezekiel We need God’s intervention. These Fulani guys are so confident that I believe they already think they are above the law. I do not know of any prosecution against any Fulani case in all the villages sacked in Agatu and other places , police men killed etc. This is the height of Impunity and illegality on display.
Why the press does not take him up on all his lopsided reasoning appointments and assertion, I can’t comprehend.
Vicky Andrew When mama peace called him a dead brain people thought she was being abusive. Shabi una want change ,
Oshiokpekhai Orbih Nigeria is definitely under siege and it’s no joke.
.The conspiracy against our people is for real.
