Your land or your death statement credited to the Special Adviser to the President on Media, Femi Adeshina, in which he was quoted to have said that all communities opposed to ranches should choose between their lands or lives is a further pointer to the fact that the Presidency has greater alliance to the herdsmen than to the country. Don't be deceived by the prepared speech he delivered to the representatives of CAN from the 19 Northern States yesterday. We know where his priority lies.
The killings in Maiduguri during Goodluck Jonathan's administration was the reason one renowned activist said Nigeria doesn't look like a nation anymore. Today, the unimaginable is happening and everyone is terrified. There's virtually no part of Nigeria that is safe. There's virtually no individual that is not living in fear in Nigeria except the Fulanis.
The murderous herdsmen first unleashed hell in Enugu and nothing happened because the victims are Biafrans who didn't support the government. Then they executed a massacre in Benue and nothing happened as well. Admittedly, they have succeeded in fishing out non-Fulani suspects as the perpetrators of the recent killings in Plateau State but over 300 people, comprising of women and children, were killed in 11 different communities.
In fact, according to US Council on Foreign Relations, a total of about 19,890 documented deaths have been recorded in Nigeria since June 2015.
Just this morning, about 8 persons were killed in separate fresh attacks in Adamawa and Benue again.
As it stands today, Fulani herdsmen can kill уσυ at the slightest excitement and get away with it (because almost all the Heads of national security are from same tribe) and when уσυ gear up to defend уσυrself because security will not help, then уσυ are caught by the same security who will lecture уσυ on how to be peaceful and law abiding. And if уσυ dare stage a peaceful protest, security will shoot уσυ for disturbing the peace of the area and inciting violence.
Regrettably, those who openly hounded and derided Goodluck Jonathan whenever any killings happened, calling him clueless in those days are today silent when we're witnessing the worst under PMB and despite their inability to openly condemn the killings, they still have strongest irritation for the slightest dissenting voice. That's why when уσυ complain today, уσυ are either called a wailer, thieve or supporter of thieves.
There's nothing wrong in loving or supporting a leader but where is уσυr conscience when уσυr fellow citizens are being slaughtered daily and уσυ don't seem to be bothered because you're benefitting from the government or the President is from your party?
Like a friend will always say, when the plague in Aso Rock is gone, we shall count and celebrate with real hearts. Not the hypocritical demons!
But come to think of it, as the killings continue and уσυ're forbidden to criticize PMB's inaction, soon, it would also be a crime to be free!
