Jihadis kill, jihadis get rewarded. Somehow the whole world has decided that appeasement is the soundest policy to follow regarding jihadis. And so Hamas murders 1,200 Israelis and the West responds by renewing efforts to create a “Palestinian” state. The Fulani murder 40 people and get a cattle ranch.
“Enugu Community Protests Government’s Plan To Establish Cattle Ranch For Herders, Nearly 8 Years After Massacre By Militia,” Sahara Reporters, February 9, 2024:
Hundreds of Nimbo community residents in the Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State have staged a peaceful protest against the state government’s plan to establish a cattle ranch for herdsmen in their community.
Among the protesters were people widowed or orphaned by the killing of 40 residents of the community by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on April 26, 2016, during the government of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
SaharaReporters gathered that the community held the protest on Tuesday along the Nsukka – Uzo-Uwani – Anambra Federal Highway….
A resident of the community told SaharaReporters on Friday that protests in Nimbo followed an alleged plan by the state government to establish a ranch where the town shares a border with Kogi State.
“The plan followed a government inspection team to the area, nearly eight years after the April 25, 2016 Nimbo Massacre, during which armed Fulani herders murdered 40 indigenes of our town.
“The incident followed farmer-herder clashes in the general area where the RUGA (Rural Grazing Areas) settlement is allegedly being planned to be sited.”
RUGA is an initiative of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to address the herders-farmers’ clashes in the country but it was rejected in most of the southern states….
Meanwhile, the state government has confirmed that it is establishing a ranch in the community. It said it would manage ranching as a measure to solve permanently the farmers-herders clashes in the state.
A senior government official told SaharaReporters that the ranching is going to be fully controlled by the government.

These ‘government’ people are so very dishonest. “farmers-herders clashes” makes the report seem to be saying that the “farmers” have been offensively “clashing” with the “herders.”
To take the land and give it over to the murderous mozlums is the height of dishonesty. Theft of the land by a “government” which is controlled by mozlums so it can be given to the murderers, is evil. And to imply that this is being done because the Christians who were murdered were “clashing” with the “herders”… Evil.
“The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy,” Jesus said about His enemy, satan the devil. Jesus also said to satan’s “children” they would be doing “the desires of your father.”
Sons of demons, acting out the “desires of (their) father.” As the devil goes, so do his human children. And their end will be the same.

The Nigerian Government is headed by a Muslim who regularly does little to nothing to protect Christians from murderous Muslims descending upon them from the North. The Government even denies Christians the right to have sophisticated automatic weapons and demands they only use traditional herdsmen weapons like spears for their own protection. How this Muslim wins an ‘election” beats me. He should not get one Christian vote.
Vic Ry says
I am a Nigerian, I can categorically say that the election was rigged against Peter Obi whom the people clearly voted for.

Rick, your question is an excellent one. I asked numerous people at the church that I attended in Abuja as well as the local workers within the Embassy. When one looks at the population of Muslim vs. non-Muslim, the others are in the majority. Almost all answers to my question from the Christian/Non-Muslim people was that the Southern part of Nigeria people were too busy to vote whereas the Muslim majority population of the northern states, most people do not work as those in the southern states. Sooner or later, mark my words, a civil war will occur and I think that the southern states will win, especially since they have the money to finance a war.

Perhaps the country should break up into two separate countries, like Sudan. It might make sense.
James Lincoln says
It would certainly be better than the situation now, Mike.
Ray Jarman says
In 1967 this was attempted. It was the Biafran War and many people were killed and I am afraid that this will happen again but hopefully with a different result. I would let the Hausa states drown in their own tears of lies and savagery against others they hate.
