#Benue

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?

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

'[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

Amnesty International is also very concerned about the impact of these killings on farming, especially with the affected villages and farmlands deserted because people fear going back to their homes. #Plateau #Benue #Zamfara #Nigeria

You said 97% versus the 5%. But all you’ve given the 97% is death day in day out. My stomach turns knowing that they unknowingly signed away their lives and cheaply for that matter in other that you may become C-in-C. #Zamfara #Plateau #Benue #Taraba #Adamawa ... and it continues

...herdsmen. They've called for abolition of laws put in place to check their excesses. Till date, not a single one has been arrested & prosecuted, whereas #Benue has conducted more than 3 mass burials this year; about 5 people have bn sentenced to death for allegedly killing...
