#benue

The Catholic Church organises #CatholicProtestAgainstHerdsmen today in ALL parts of Nigeria. Will this impunity in #Benue and other parts of Nigeria continue if other Christian denominations, other non-Christian religious groups & non-faith-based NGOs do the same? I doubt!

If Nigerian government with all its powers and ample resources cannot trace, arrest and bring to justice the killers of #Plateau #Benue #Zamfara & others who can do it?

We are calling on #Nigerian authorities to address security lapses that make it easier for the killers to carry out attacks and disappear. #Plateau #Benue #Zamfara

It is gradually becoming a norm in Nigeria, scores of people dying every day. Slowly we're accepting the abnormality because it doesn't involve our friends and families.... Sick society. Stupid leaders. #Benue

One of the immediate impacts of violence of the #PastoralConflict is the drop in number of children who are able to go to school. The #Benue govt has said that of those who have been displaced by this crisis, 102,000 are children who are now out of school in the state.

WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON? WHY IS IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE POLICE TO ARREST/STOP THESE KILLER HERDSMEN? WHY IS THERE NO (BELIEVABLE) OUTRAGE ON THE PART OF @MBuhari? A GOVT THAT'S INCAPABLE OF STOPPING THE KILLINGS HAPPENING IN #PLATEAU, #BENUE, ETC. HAS NO MORAL RIGHT TO LEADERSHIP

The killings won’t stop until suspected perpetrators are brought to justice. The government must commit to step up and give Nigerians justice for the dead. #PlateauKillings #Benue #Zamfara #Nigeria #EnoughIsEnough

With all that is happening in Benue, I hope our consciousness will not fail us in 2019, don't sell your vote for money, no amount of money is worth lives we have lost.. #Benue

#Myetti Allah says that it would resist #Benue anti-open grazing law bc it is against their culture ... (@Nigeriantribue). Outlawing the killing of twins affected some cultures, the same with outlawing certain practises against widows. Culture is subservient to good conscience.

To children in IDP camps around #Benue, all 80,400 of them; I hear you, I feel your pain; I see the limitations to your dreams but don't give up;One more year and we are coming for you. Happy children's day.

'[Cardinal] Onaiyekan said the Pope is saddened and that he specifically asked who the Bishop of Makurdi is, and, upon meeting him, held the Bishop, who, in turn, wept profusely' - @DailyPostNGR . #Benue

Under #Buhari , everything is becoming risky in #Benue state: Going to Church to Worship God Going to Farm to cultivate Going to School to learn (*2 students siting for NECO allegedly murdered by #herdsmen) And yet Gov Ortom of Benue sees reason for #PMB in #2019.

Some think it's the Nigerians media doing the reporting about the killings across the country, happening in #Benue, #Plateau, Taraba and Nasarawa & why Adamawa & Zamfara ain't getting the same media reporting. First, what d media does is amplifying what's already in public space.

If the attacks on #Benue (food basket) continues at this rate, we are heading for an imminent & unavoidable food crisis in Nigeria. Except this is an economic sabotage to pave way for the emergence of a capitalist. Both ways, nothing good is built at the expense of human life.
