I am watching this with so much disgust and anger. As someone who lived in plateau for 5years before I relocated. I can tell you first hand that these are attacks against Christians by Fulani herdsmen(who are Islamist) and it has been happening year in year out. No accountability whatsoever, government comes as usuals, “condemns” the attack, and after some days , they go about their normal business. A country were lives of its citizen is not valued is as good as gone. See the way innocent people were slaughtered and buried like chickens. I detest sometimes that I am a Nigerian because of the government. It’s really unfortunate and even the speakers here are romanticising this incident without calling out the failed government for failing to protect its citizens. It is very unfortunate and Until the world and the international community intervene, this would not stop!! Rest in peace to the dead
The Fulanis are behind ALL major massacres across agrarian communities in the country, especially Northern Nigeria. The Global Terrorism Index of 2018 ranked the Fulani Miyetti Allah is the world’s 4th deadliest terrorist organization. Unfortunately, the Nigerian security establishment is largely controlled by the Fulanis. Back when Buhari was president, a farmer that dared resist Fulanis from grazing on their farms may get arrested. There was a Fulani warlord called Wakili who terrorized the Ibarapa areas of Oyo State. He couldn’t be defeated by both the soldiers and the police. The OPC went in and caught him; brought him to town and handed him over to the police. Guess what? The 3 OPC boys that captured him were arrested and imprisoned by the Buhari’ government. There was a recent statement by Dele Alake that powerful Nigerians are behind insecurity and kidnapping. But, the government has refused to reveal the identities of those people or attempted to make arrests. If you look at the entire African continent today, you will see that the Fulanis remain the sole ethnic group that is vicious and are swift to shed blood. They have caused problems in Sudan, Mali, Chad, Central African Republic, Burkina Faso etc. They infiltrated Ghana and Benin Republic but were hotly resisted due to the fact that they lack powerful influences within the corridors of power in those two countries. Any community that gives the Fulanis a space shall live to regret it. They are not a group that lives in peace and harmony with other groups. It is really annoying though the western media like to describe the problem as climate related or resource control. NO! Fulanis have been killing people in what is now Nigeria since the colonial times. Go and read a 1911 book by Mockler-Ferryman titled “ British Nigeria: A geographical and historical description of the British possessions adjacent to the Niger River, West Africa.”.
Yes I support your comment, even the guy that was interviewed on the sick bed in hospital clearly proved they're after the Christian. His name is Christian Emmanuel. In the interview Al Jazeera did it was recorded that the attacks started on Saturday, Sunday, Monday n Tuesday. From weekend to Christmas Day n boxing day. On weekends about 48 hours, they attack the same hours, same minutes, n same second n you're telling me soldiers or security can't stay in the town with armed to protect the lives of the people. Look at people who are healthy just died suddenly even on Christmas day. How would this country be free from God anger when blood is been shed n lives that belongs to God is been killed every time n we think God is happy with such land or to such country. God show this country Nigeria Mercy.
THE SO CALLED PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE VISISTED THEM INSTEAD OF HOSTING THE GOVERNORS.THE PEOPLE HAS NEVER MATTERED TO THESE LEADERS BUT THEIR AMBITIONS AND WHAT THEY CAN STEAL.IF IT IS REALLY THE FULANIS CAUSING THESE MAYHEMS, IT SHOULDNT BE EXCUSED FOR BUHARI BUT MY PAIN IS THAT IT IS HAPPENING UNDER TINUBU, LET THIS MAN DEAL WITH THIS THING HEAD ON SO THESE AGGRESSORS WILL KNOW THAT IT CANT BE BUSINESS AS USUAL BUT I GUESS HE WONT CAUSE HE NEEDS THEM IN 2023.I AM ASHAMED TO BE CALLED NIGERIAN
Once the villagers start arming themselves to defend themselves, you will see the soldiers and the police swing into swift action to disarm them. It has happened several times in the past. Sometimes, the army was informed days before the attacks, but they stayed away. Immediately after the attack, they will come to prevent the villagers from avenging the attack by arresting all the surviving young men and locking them up. All the villages that were displaced in the past have been re-settled with Fulani people and the government is preventing the people from returning to their ancestral land.
Civilization is made up of authoritarians. Layer upon layer. Authoritarians believe that it is okay for them to force others to do things... but not for others to force authorities to do things. Never really been able to find any reasonable justification for this belief by authorities... Boils down to authoritarians being ruthless and lacking in character. Lot of times indigenous people don't see any reason that outside authorities should have any say at all. Doesn't matter to the authorities, of course.
Outsiders don't know that these attacks on Benue Plateau states are orchestrated and supported by the powers that be. The Fulanis want the lands for their castles and settlers but do not want to live with the owners of the Land People are talking about Gaza but forget that Nigerians suffer more
Yes, it is evident that these faceless armed groups want to take over the ancestral lands from these communities. Government's failure to end this saga is highly condemnable.
@@african-history-fountainlol. How many have died in gaza? How many have died in Nigeria? A lot of unreported deaths. These Islamist terrorist keeps keeping in the middle belt and the mother part.
Every sane and sincere person in Nigeria knows exactly does responsible for these attacks over the years.. The Fulani herders!! But it beats me hollow how even does who are directly affected for no reason have also decided to beat round the bush..I don't know why most Nigerians seem scared of saying the truth or naming does involved.
@Aljazeera, what your host said at the beginning of the programme is FALSE. "Climate change" or "land and water" isn't the reason for the crisis. Those who barbarically murdered 160 Christians days ago are fulani killer herdsmen (most of whom are Islamists with links to Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram) and they carried out those killings in the name of their religion. We understand you need to put up a balance narrative but the reality on the ground is entirely different from your "farmer-herder" nonsense.
Not surprised with their trying to rewrite the narrative to fit their pay master. Like all big news outlet. CNN and BBC, promoting the woke agenda, Aljazeera, promoting the jihad agenda.
Thank you bro @Aljazeera speak the truth, the entire premise of this news is false, it was a religious attack, the Islamic fulani's are trying to take the land from the indigenous Christian natives of Bokkos, they attacked on the eve of Christmas (A christian holiday) this is not the first or second time, when such attack has been done on a Christian Holiday, call it what it is
Thank you Mr Isa Sanusi, you have spoken very well! A great analysis sir. Prof Kwaja is blowing grammer up and down without nailing the real issues, while Mr Ashom is speaking politically even in the midst of this devastating loss. It's another day of talk and no action to remain in political office. Can there be peace without justice? No sign of commitment to resolve this with the way politicians are talking
@@onmonya152 the Islamic jihad request some fund from the federal and state government which they failed to pay....so they carry out this attack to show them how extreme they are...but this people help them into office so they dare not mention whom they are ::

I hate to say that I'm not proud to say that I am a Nigerian. What bothers me the most is the impunity that exists in that country. No one is held accountable for any crime. 99% of the politicians thieves, corrupt. The judiciary that's supposed to hold people accountable is even worse. Nigeria, the way it is, is not working as a country. If they cannot decentralize the system, they should let any group that wants to leave go. Nothing actually works in that country and yet their citizens are doing great things around the world. Go figure 🤔
If you are not proud, other are proud to be a Nigeria. No matter our challenges, I will always be proud of my country. How many people massacred in America. Those that make an American not to be proud of their nation.
This is a pure ethnic clinching Nigeria is a terrorist country and dis Islamic jihad is being carried out by the Fulanis sponsored by the Nigeria terrorist government
Only the guy from Amnesty International hit the nail on the head. Others were being politically correct. Imagine the commissioner saying they want peace. How can you have peace if you don't address the root cause of the problem? Mtchew

The same issue that makes Israel go to war with Hamas in the Middle East. But in Nigeria 🇳🇬 it has become a standard. The government only sympathized with the relatives of the victims and the killing continued. My question is who are these people killing Nigerians in their motherland?
You are right bro same thing happening in Israel. The difference is Israel is stronger and they can’t harm them. I people if they Muslim don’t change border with you praise God.
Ignorance is a disease. How can this be likened to what is happening in Israel today. Average Nigerians spend their time watching movies, skits/comedy,music and other entertainment instead of listening to news and getting educated. Unfortunately getting educated is not limited to going to school alone. The issue in plateau is not about religion likewise the issue in Gaza is not about religion as well. Thousands of Christians have died in Gaza and churches has been bombed. No Christmas was celebrated in Bethlehem this year because of what is happening in Gaza. And Incase you don’t know , Christmas started in Bethlehem yet , they couldn’t celebrate it this year because of humanity and the amount of Christian’s that has been killed as well. Not everything is about religion but unfortunately for some Nigerian Christians even ethnic, politic etc are tuned to Muslim vs Christians. Sad
Other parts of Nigeria are watching the they think it will not get to them. The government knows the perpetrators of this crime, but they are not willing to stop them. Why can't the government allow the villages to carry arms and defend themselves since government security can't protect them. After Plateau is conquered, the killers will move to conquer another state until the country becomes a fulani jihadist empire. A stich in time saves night
We are well aware of all that is going on, atleast I am. I grew up in Plateau state even though I'm from another part of the country so I'm very interested in what is going on there as well as in other parts of Nigeria. Individuals carrying illegal arms and ammunition has largely contributed to this continuous carnage! What government should be concerned about is fishing out these unscrupulous elements but that is obviously not the case. The government lacks the political will to eradicate this problem.
This will NOT happen. More proactive states have long ago established their state vigilante security outfits which successfully stopped the herders' attacks. It is more than high time that Plateau state and Benue state did likewise to protect their people.
the Fulani's in the northern part of Nigeria know what is going on against the indigenous Hausas, including the security agencies, secondly the uniformed men in Nigeria are parts of these perpetrators, yes because so many of these criminals are recruited in the army by their fellow Fulani's in the so-called people in authority
U are 110% very correct..., While the military collude & give easy access to them .., The only answer to Nigeria's problem now is division into 6 or 7 minimum separate new nations..! Gowon will be weeping 😢now in shame bcos the Hausa Fulanis used &. Dumped him ... including Theophilus Danjuma 😢...!! Until we divide & separate...dis Nigeria will never function or work ...bcos it's programmed to fail in an anticlockwise format by the British ( Divide & rule policy/ Formula)
Nigeria need to break up into not less than 7 countries or regions. We are not one and can never be. These guests speakers are economical with the truth. Everyday I pray my mum is not attacked on her farm. Sometimes the herdsmen wait a distance for her to leave her farm then they go in and eat her crops. There are grasses everywhere but they intentionally take their cows into the farm to eat the crops. Last week half of her grown beans (ready for harvest) were eaten. They are very brutal and kidnap people for ransom too. This is sad and heartbreaking. Buhari’s tenure was even worse as they openly brandished AK47 while disarming the villagers and warning them not to arm themselves. How is that fair? Children now carry sticks on their way to school to protect themselves! Most of the attacked villages are renamed and these Fulani herdsmen settle there. Most of the areas they have ransacked and renamed are today called “ungoverned areas” by the Nigerian government. This is intentional in my opinion 😞
Why would you leave your mum there if you know it’s not safe, and you are commenting here for us to do what? Better take that innocent woman out of that place
The sacked villages are occupied by the marauders, and government is always saying they will seek out and bring the perpetrators to book. Arrant nonsense.
Increased temperatures mean less area for grazing/farming. People lose their livelihood and their food and they get desperate. I dunno if that’s what’s happening actually but that’s the connection to climate change
Not Nomadic herders. Islamic Fulani herders. This act was done on Christmas day. This is what fundamentalism has done to Islam and they tried to make it a Tribal thing but it is not working. On a Christmas day and the Country woke up to cry. The reason it is a Religious War and not a Tribal one is simply because this is the way the Fulani used to conquered Northern Nigeria through Islamic Jihad, displacing people and replacing them in their villages. This is why I always tell people the Arabian presence in North Africa even in Sudan and Niger speaks volume of their conquest of Africa. now they call us Sub Saharan. Nonsense
You say that while you speak English. You would much prefer the Anglo Saxon presence right? In the north of africa and below. They are more modern and represent truth equality and justice right? Question your own colonised mindset.

This people are called to talk bad about the nigeria government incapability when aljazeera itself was a sponsor of this crime using media to cover it up... this jihad on Christian cardied out on Christmas day whats so big to understand. ??? The state government is also seeking a way to earn money from this while the military leader will start using this as a way of calling the government incapability and go for coup which is aljazeera expectation to protect niger
Thank you for this report, this is one of the handful of new organisations that discusses issues in Africa and tries to find a solution. You’ll always have my support. Bravo amazing journalism

Aljazeera is part of those who sponsor this act using media to protect those who commit this crime as nigeria is not in support of niger coup which was a slap on aljazeera who also support Palestine over isreal...
They are waiting for someone to say ' we are the one that carried out the attack ' they all know who is doing this evil, we know them as well. The sponsors are the fulani northern elite of Nigeria.
Ajazeera are Islamic established News channel so you don't expect them to criticize Islam... See their reporting about the Palestinian issues you'll know they're bias in their reporting
I'm Nigerian thank you. Herders and farmers are not "locked in a clash" rather it's a systematic ethnic cleansing and land grabbing by the Fulani people. That's what's going on. Check out the Plateau Town Called "Wase". 40.years ago it was not a Fulani town. Now it has an Emir and completely dominated by the Fulani people
One of the solutions to curbing and terminating most of Nigerias problems including insecurity, corruption, unemployment, total absence of social welfare,lack of electricity and infrastructures etc is to change the system of government from Federal to a Confederate state, Where every State will be responsible for its on internal affairs and economy. Allow States to take charge of their own security,economy and self sustainability. For a country as populated, with numerous ethnic groups and diversified in many areas of life including in culture and religion ought to operate on an uncentralised government, this without been told is the logical system that will work for us Nigerians. We need an absolute level of State autonomy for the people and its government to make their system function efficiently. These are modern times and we are still using the colonial stucture, policy , strategy and interest in administration. The Youths have to rise up and fight for RESTRUCTURING of this Country. We would have rather fought for a Restructuring rather than for ENDSARS. A restructuring and a Fresh constitution must be the whole thing on our mind and nothing else.
Peter obi is the right man for the job but he was not allowed to be president, apc government both past and present are evil nothing good can come out of them
Your comment is sensible but would only work if Nigeria had good leaders; unfortunately most state governors do not care about their people, only about lining their pockets. Until there are leaders who are transparent, honest and accountable, Nigeria will continue to suffer insecurity, corruption, unemployment, poor governance
The Fulani aren’t native to Nigeria and largely migrated there when their warriors defeated the Habe Kings of Hausa land. They occupied that territory and have been moving southwards using neighboring tribes to form regional alliances to suppress people in the south and using their British granted political control of Nigeria, they act with impunity. It is not only in Nigeria. They are playing a long game to create an Empire or better still connect all their captured states in one federation. The Arab world backs this same with the imperialists as the Fulani are not Pan African and have a war machine that can secure resources for extraction. The only major foreign power opposing them is Russia who has been helping different tribes in the region to fight these forces. No western power seems to oppose them, they have a special status for an African tribe within the Muslim community especially with the Saudis. Don’t fall for the lies and propaganda. Nigeria can only save itself from its enemies.
@@emekaosisi1288 Yes thanks for your contribution bro and l truly appreciate your contribution of this analysis. What do you feel is the way forward generally from this problems?
I agree with your analysis that the government must be completely restructured, however, I defer on what type of restructuring is needed. In my opinion, a Confederate system of government will not address any problems, and might well foster more separatist movements. The major problem facing our nation is corruption. This level of corruption seems to be endemic in most African societies because it finds fertile breeding ground: High levels of Uneducation. The facts show this to be the case, the countries with the lowest levels of corruption are also the ones with the highest levels of education. This is why I do not believe that any form of seperation(the different tribes going their own way) or decentralization will solve our problems. It will not solve the uneducation problem; and if it will not solve the uneducation problem, it will not solve the corruption problem; because it will not solve the corruption problem, we are not really going to make any real progress in terms of attaining a more responsible government. My suggestion might be considered a radical one, but I think it is worth discussing. We have to understand that the primary goal of most politicians is political survival. That is, the primary goal of most politicians is to gain power and then retain power. For any government that will work, it has to find a way to align these tendencies of politicians towards the right goal(which is nation building). The incentives have to be gotten right. The democracies of most western countries do a good job of this. The democracies in Africa and parts of Asia and South America do a terrible job of this. Politicians in this part of the world realize that there are many other ways to attain and retain power including, but not limited to, election rigging, bribery, coercion, appealing to religious or ethnic sentiments e.t.c. These practices are of course fostered by the uneducation problem. To prevent this from being such a long write-up, I will conclude. My proposal is a cross between a federal system and a centralized system. Each local government, for instance, must have a great deal of autonomy. Each local government must be, in effect, it's own state. The Local government chairman should be appointed by a centralized organization. This organization will be responsible for the appointment and assessment of each official put in a leadership post. Essentially, every politician should be assessed by certain metrics such as education improvement under their administration, infrastructure development, unemployment rate, GDP, standard of living, public opinion e.t.c. Based on these assessments, only those who have routinely done very well should be allowed to progress any further up the pyramid. I also advocate the 5/75/20 formula. After every term, the least performant 20% of leadership post holders are completely terminated. If your record at the local government level is poor, you have no chance of progressing to become a state governor or indeed become the president. With this system, only those who have passed through the local government level and performed very well, passed through the state government level and done very well, are qualified to run for presidency. I would also do away with the whole political party system and the campaigning system. Individuals, competent individuals, running for office, not groups. In short, make it very difficult for anyone or any group to bribe their way to the top. The idea is that whichever president gets elected into office, it must be someone that we are confident deserves to be there because his records speak for him/her. This system is not perfect, it's not full-proof, but then again, there's no system that is. I hate it when it's election year, and I take a look at the candidates I have to choose from, and I cannot see a single individual that is worth my vote. It's very painful and frustrating. The governmental system I advocate is a more meritocratic one.
All’ the boko Haram terrorist that Buhari granted amnesty, and recruited into the Nigerian army should be fish out and be interviewed concerning this plateau disaster. This is what Mailafia said before his death. It is now happening before our eyes.
Why is Aljazeera inviting dishonest guests to speak on such as very serious issue. When someone takes a gun to the bank, his motivation is undoubtedly money. In the case of Plataux State, the motivation of the unknown gunmen is grazing land (fertility/water). Policing can only work when the root causes are fearlessly discussed. Identify the problem and the solution could be found without using police or army. Land grab, land grab, land grab, guest are afraid to speak out. How can people be killed and people who claim to be working in peace institute and Armnesty international can not discussed the root cause of the persistent killings. Government can not investigate the matter because of legitimacy crisis. Rigging causes instability.
I think that the issue is that both farmers and herders are loosing land due to climate issues. Lack of water and persistent heat created the "fertile soil" for these kind of conflicts. The over usage of oil and other pollutants are again the cause of misery in the world. This is exactly why capitalism is so bad for us, especially uninhabited capitalism.

This is not related to farming,it is 100% an ethno-religious conflict, yes the natives tend to be sedentary Christian farmers while the attackers are Muslim Fulani herdsmen who are nomadic hence they scout this communities,identify the vulnerable spots and then launch attacks. The natives are basically sitting ducks because the attackers get to decide when and where to attack, the attacks are plainly targeted at wiping out every living person in those communities and taking over. The attackers mobilize from the surrounding states, and then retreat back to those places after the attacks while using the herdsmen as scouts to report back about the aftermath of their attacks and to identify the next vulnerable communities.
It's quite unfortunate that we have such people as government! If the attackers don't have the support of the government and or security operatives, why wouldn't they follow in the bush and make arrest but only arrest victims who are trying to provide help for themselves and of course the security forces for failure to do their job!! If they are not ready to provide us with the security they are paid to do, we don't need them. let the citizens protect themselves. Though the security forces are against but they are not ready to do their work despite being paid for. Nigeria should not lose money paying security forces and also losing lives in the hands of planned terrorists attacks, enough is enough!!!!!
Aljazeera gathered idiots to come and discuss this matter, they all want to sound politically correct. If tinubu knows he wants to stand tall, they should ban cattle herding in plateau and Benue. Nobody will die if they are not eating meat. There should ask all herders to leave those two states, anyone who will feel hurt should relocate to the north west and east to do cattle rearing business
Aljazeera is pro jihadist, so they invite pro jihadist and or persons fearful of jihadists. Let Gowon be praying sorry playing this is what he imported in 1967.
When one is not ready to say the truth, a question that need straight answer yes or no, take a long explanation. The simple truth is that, the Nigerian elite have the key to solving the problem. State policing is highly needed, citizen should be empowered to protect themselves.
Listen to them all dancing around the question 😢. Who is responsible for the attacks? That’s the question. How do you implement any solutions when you do not know or cannot name who is responsible? Rubbish
The Nigerian present security architecture is corruptly eschewed, it cannot solve the strategic security challengesfacing Nigeria, other than intimidate and exploiting of her citizens. Restructuring and establishing a state police will go a long way in solving the local security menace.
Every human should protect themselves now those govt officials who took away the peoples means of protecting themselves and looked the other way while they were being slaughtered needs to held accountable.
We should be allow to carry arms like the fullany herders too ,we the plateau are treated fair for years we can not tolerate this anymore ,we will defend yourself by the grace of God
It’s an ethnic issue. You have the Fulani Muslim herdsmen on one hand and you have the pacifist christian people on the receiving end. The Fulani militia like their savage janjaweed brethren in Sudan have a genocidial desire to ethnically cleanse the indigenous tribal peoples who are mostly Christians. The Fulani herdsmen want their land. They have been trying for decades to occupy and take over their lands. This is simply a continuation of the same process.
"fulani muslim herders"? Are you telling us that there are no fulani christian herders or that muslim communities too do not experience attacks from herders? Do your research before giving a general overview of what you think you know about this issue. Most of the blame should go towards all leaders, especially the elected ones. The moment we start voting the right people from the councillorship through to the presidency is when we will really reap the benefits of a peaceful society. Imagine a majority of people voting for an incompetent man/woman just because of a subjective reason and expecting him/her to perform objectively. What do our governors do with their security votes? If a leader cannot secure his/her territory or at least try to do so, he/she should resign. That is why you have councillors, chairmen, assembly and reps members, senators and a president in that order. When you want to blame someone, pick one of these guys. They are not there to make excuses. They are even paid ostensibly to work. They were elected to among other things, to serve and protect everyone living within their boundaries. All governors are chief security officers of their respective states, so any state experiencing security challenges majorly has its governor to blame, especially the clueless ones. Have you ever heard a Nigerian governor or president resigning due to incompetence? Only death can resign them. Not even losing half of the people they claim to represent will push them to resign. Next time, when you want to blame someone, start with the delegates who voted subjectively, then those who during elections also vote subjectively, then blame the leaders who also act subjectively once they get elected.
There is no commitment in the side of the Nigerian government , they will say it but no action taken , let meddle belts join Biafra government because Nigerian government cannot protect them.
💔 Buhari, the former president, took away gun licenses from real owners of the Nigerian land, disarmed them to defend themselves, and gave guns to his Islamic Fulani invasion tribes. These tribe still believe in Islamic Danfodio war of the 1805, the era these Islamic groups invaded Nigeria from the north. They believe that the land of the entire country belongs to them. They are controlling the politics, the army and the administration of Nigeria through the help of the British who signed a deal with them in 1914. They are also in control of the oil fields in the south, surprisingly, separating communities to rule the country easily. These guys on screen are not speaking the truth not to be killed by the government like others. These Christians are killed and will be killed until the British government becomes serious to keep their Islamic ruling allies in check to stop the land grab. Tinubu can't do anything. He's just a puppet in power. Plateau people are good Christian loving people and their hospitality is now used against them. ❌💔. This is the main reason people are asking for their own country away from Nigeria.
That professor was just speaking without making sense. Two issues raised are accountability and community policing. Both issues can reduce or stop these kinds of attack in future.
Unfortunately everyone seem to be afraid of commenting on the real issues and when government officials complain, who do we run to. The truth is the Nigerian government and security architecture is infiltrated and is sympathetic to terrorism with massive corruption that embezzles anything that looks like solutions, financially, security and otherwise. If terror persists, there's some level of government participation. Anything investigation in Nigeria is perfected on media. It becomes another opportunity for corrupt political class to enrich themselves otherwise 2 decades is enough to create solution for a reoccurring dilemma. If the world cares, they should allow Nigeria elect credible leaders and not influence the emergence of recycled criminals in the name of interest and power play.
Professor is an agent of the government. Very obvious he's trying to be diplomatic. He had nothing to offer on this show. From this interview, it's safe to conclude that the attackers are ghosts. The interviewer asked the question twice but none of them could say who exactly the perpetrators of this evil are.
These program is a waste of time. Even when pushed, these guests are ecinomical with the truth. These Fulanis have a strong propeganda mechanism. Even the victims' spokesmen is te) ing only half truths. Shame!
Trace the money. For one, the military budget has increased more than 20 times since all the insecurity, therefore, it is an open secret that the insecurity can be stopped in less than 2 months if you know, you know...
The most important factor in all this that is missing is the Facts. What are the facts of this situation? Who are the perpetrators? Where are they located? Why doesn’t the Plateau govt have some form of security apparatus? Why is Nigeria so slow to embrace drone technology to get on top of recurring security threats? Govts at Federal and State level run huge motorcades for their own safety. Yet invest nothing to secure its citizens.
Why been politically correct, these attacks are by a Fulani Militia whose aim is to ethnically cleanse and then take possession of ancestral lands of the natives and they have gone ahead to rename some of these displaced settlements but analysts still find it hard to say it as it is! Also the Nigerian security architecture is no longer fit for purpose, policing should now be decentralised with state and even local government police that are well trained and armed at least a minimum of about 10k additional personel per the six geopolitical regions for starters anything short of these measures will fall short...and for goodness sake Plateau/ Middle belt citizens should also know that self preservation is one of the first laws of nature...there is the JTF in the North East, SW responded with Amotekun at some point, equally the South East toyed with Ebube agu in response to these marauding merchants of death. The Middle belt/ North central need to smell the cofee and take proactive steps to face these cowards attacking women, children, elderly etc in the middle of the night while their representatives at the NASS sponsor bills for state police ASAP, there is a general consensus this is needed but the urgency is now...a word is enough for the wise!
What happened once, twice and many times is no more a mistake. Those people live in that area. Until Nigeria grow above politicising everyone they won’t change
The problem is the islamic teaching ideology, when you read some chapters in the quran and Hadith they are filled with hatred statement against other faith. Islam isn't a peaceful religion it creates Superiority above others faith , and forceful convertion through violence. In my father's state in kwara state in Nigeria. It has separated us I don't ever visiting or investing in my own father state due to the separation Arab Islam creating division among same people that speak the same language, same families, same ethics groups same bloodline.
The only problem of Nigeria is leadership, despite huge amount of money are spending on security but has no impact on Nigerians shame on the government. Politics is nothing but catastrophic for Nigerians we the common people aren't benefit from such kind of system
Unfortunately, the government's initiatives will yield little or no fruit with the level of sabotage in the military and institutions of government. This sabotage is borne out of sentimental bias and lack of patriotism. Instead of Nigeria first, it is my family, my village, my tribe, my religion; while Nigeria is at the end of the queue.
I think Nigeria should be relegated from the name of being the giant of Africa since they cannot deal with their own internal security issues. It's very shameful to see innocent people dying senselessly like this by this barbaric idiots.
Tragedy Unfolds: The Ongoing Cycle of Violence in Bokkus, Plateau State, Nigeria, and the Urgent Call for Accountability My heart is heavy for the people who lost their lives in the Bokkus region of Plateau State Nigeria on December 25, 2023. The brutality of the attacks, particularly the heartbreaking scenes of mothers and children being mercilessly killed in their own homes, is truly devastating. Infants left behind beside the lifeless bodies of their mothers, crying and traumatized, is a grim image that reflects the horrifying reality faced by innocent citizens. These atrocities have been occurring since 2001, and the lack of accountability is deeply troubling. The promises of the government to bring the perpetrators to justice seem empty and ineffective. The cycle of violence continues unabated, with no one being held responsible. The senseless killings and the impunity enjoyed by the culprits paint a grim picture of a nation where evil prevails, and the vulnerable pay the highest price. The recent incident on Christmas Day, a time when families should be celebrating, highlights the failure of the government to protect its citizens. It is disheartening that the impoverished, those striving to raise their families peacefully, are targeted without mercy. Nigeria, once a promising land, has become a breeding ground for violence and lawlessness. The recurring mass burials and the inability of those left behind to even grieve properly underscore the dire situation. The government, the military, and the police, all entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the people, should be held accountable for their failure. It is not a crime to be poor, to be at home with your family, or to be a Nigerian. The leadership's inability to address and curb this violence condemns innocent citizens to a life of fear, displacement, and death. The lack of justice allows the perpetrators to revel in their wickedness, reinforcing their belief that they can act with impunity. The cries of the victims and the spilled blood on the streets demand accountability, not just from the direct culprits but from every individual in a position of leadership and authority who has failed in their duty to protect the lives of the citizens they serve.
The interviewer's questions are artfully dodged by the people being questioned by all types of deflection.....all trying to be politically correct and not tell the truth...they all are aware of. Pathetic!
I am watching this with so much disgust and anger. As someone who lived in plateau for 5years before I relocated. I can tell you first hand that these are attacks against Christians by Fulani herdsmen(who are Islamist) and it has been happening year in year out. No accountability whatsoever, government comes as usuals, “condemns” the attack, and after some days , they go about their normal business. A country were lives of its citizen is not valued is as good as gone. See the way innocent people were slaughtered and buried like chickens. I detest sometimes that I am a Nigerian because of the government. It’s really unfortunate and even the speakers here are romanticising this incident without calling out the failed government for failing to protect its citizens. It is very unfortunate and Until the world and the international community intervene, this would not stop!! Rest in peace to the dead
Don't expect this Qatar-funded platform to admit that ISLAM is the cause of this.
The Fulanis are behind ALL major massacres across agrarian communities in the country, especially Northern Nigeria. The Global Terrorism Index of 2018 ranked the Fulani Miyetti Allah is the world’s 4th deadliest terrorist organization.
Unfortunately, the Nigerian security establishment is largely controlled by the Fulanis. Back when Buhari was president, a farmer that dared resist Fulanis from grazing on their farms may get arrested. There was a Fulani warlord called Wakili who terrorized the Ibarapa areas of Oyo State. He couldn’t be defeated by both the soldiers and the police. The OPC went in and caught him; brought him to town and handed him over to the police. Guess what? The 3 OPC boys that captured him were arrested and imprisoned by the Buhari’ government.
There was a recent statement by Dele Alake that powerful Nigerians are behind insecurity and kidnapping. But, the government has refused to reveal the identities of those people or attempted to make arrests.
If you look at the entire African continent today, you will see that the Fulanis remain the sole ethnic group that is vicious and are swift to shed blood. They have caused problems in Sudan, Mali, Chad, Central African Republic, Burkina Faso etc. They infiltrated Ghana and Benin Republic but were hotly resisted due to the fact that they lack powerful influences within the corridors of power in those two countries.
Any community that gives the Fulanis a space shall live to regret it. They are not a group that lives in peace and harmony with other groups.
It is really annoying though the western media like to describe the problem as climate related or resource control. NO!
Fulanis have been killing people in what is now Nigeria since the colonial times. Go and read a 1911 book by Mockler-Ferryman titled “ British Nigeria: A geographical and historical description of the British possessions adjacent to the Niger River, West Africa.”.
Yes I support your comment, even the guy that was interviewed on the sick bed in hospital clearly proved they're after the Christian. His name is Christian Emmanuel.
In the interview Al Jazeera did it was recorded that the attacks started on Saturday, Sunday, Monday n Tuesday.
From weekend to Christmas Day n boxing day. On weekends about 48 hours, they attack the same hours, same minutes, n same second n you're telling me soldiers or security can't stay in the town with armed to protect the lives of the people. Look at people who are healthy just died suddenly even on Christmas day. How would this country be free from God anger when blood is been shed n lives that belongs to God is been killed every time n we think God is happy with such land or to such country. God show this country Nigeria Mercy.
THE SO CALLED PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE VISISTED THEM INSTEAD OF HOSTING THE GOVERNORS.THE PEOPLE HAS NEVER MATTERED TO THESE LEADERS BUT THEIR AMBITIONS AND WHAT THEY CAN STEAL.IF IT IS REALLY THE FULANIS CAUSING THESE MAYHEMS, IT SHOULDNT BE EXCUSED FOR BUHARI BUT MY PAIN IS THAT IT IS HAPPENING UNDER TINUBU, LET THIS MAN DEAL WITH THIS THING HEAD ON SO THESE AGGRESSORS WILL KNOW THAT IT CANT BE BUSINESS AS USUAL BUT I GUESS HE WONT CAUSE HE NEEDS THEM IN 2023.I AM ASHAMED TO BE CALLED NIGERIAN
It has nothing to do with religion. Its just a cover, it's all about the resources
Once the villagers start arming themselves to defend themselves, you will see the soldiers and the police swing into swift action to disarm them. It has happened several times in the past.
Sometimes, the army was informed days before the attacks, but they stayed away. Immediately after the attack, they will come to prevent the villagers from avenging the attack by arresting all the surviving young men and locking them up.
All the villages that were displaced in the past have been re-settled with Fulani people and the government is preventing the people from returning to their ancestral land.
True talk
Civilization is made up of authoritarians. Layer upon layer. Authoritarians believe that it is okay for them to force others to do things... but not for others to force authorities to do things.
Never really been able to find any reasonable justification for this belief by authorities... Boils down to authoritarians being ruthless and lacking in character.
Lot of times indigenous people don't see any reason that outside authorities should have any say at all. Doesn't matter to the authorities, of course.

@Aljazeera, what your host said at the beginning of the programme is FALSE. "Climate change" or "land and water" isn't the reason for the crisis.
Those who barbarically murdered 160 Christians days ago are fulani killer herdsmen (most of whom are Islamists with links to Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram) and they carried out those killings in the name of their religion.
We understand you need to put up a balance narrative but the reality on the ground is entirely different from your "farmer-herder" nonsense.
Not surprised with their trying to rewrite the narrative to fit their pay master.

Thank you bro @Aljazeera speak the truth, the entire premise of this news is false, it was a religious attack, the Islamic fulani's are trying to take the land from the indigenous Christian natives of Bokkos, they attacked on the eve of Christmas (A christian holiday) this is not the first or second time, when such attack has been done on a Christian Holiday, call it what it is

It is genocide, not war, yet.
I hate to say that I'm not proud to say that I am a Nigerian. What bothers me the most is the impunity that exists in that country. No one is held accountable for any crime. 99% of the politicians thieves, corrupt. The judiciary that's supposed to hold people accountable is even worse. Nigeria, the way it is, is not working as a country. If they cannot decentralize the system, they should let any group that wants to leave go. Nothing actually works in that country and yet their citizens are doing great things around the world. Go figure 🤔

The same issue that makes Israel go to war with Hamas in the Middle East. But in Nigeria 🇳🇬 it has become a standard. The government only sympathized with the relatives of the victims and the killing continued. My question is who are these people killing Nigerians in their motherland?
These speakers are not serious
You are right bro same thing happening in Israel. The difference is Israel is stronger and they can’t harm them. I people if they Muslim don’t change border with you praise God.
Ignorance is a disease. How can this be likened to what is happening in Israel today. Average Nigerians spend their time watching movies, skits/comedy,music and other entertainment instead of listening to news and getting educated. Unfortunately getting educated is not limited to going to school alone. The issue in plateau is not about religion likewise the issue in Gaza is not about religion as well. Thousands of Christians have died in Gaza and churches has been bombed. No Christmas was celebrated in Bethlehem this year because of what is happening in Gaza. And Incase you don’t know , Christmas started in Bethlehem yet , they couldn’t celebrate it this year because of humanity and the amount of Christian’s that has been killed as well. Not everything is about religion but unfortunately for some Nigerian Christians even ethnic, politic etc are tuned to Muslim vs Christians. Sad
@@kifaayatibraheem6083it is, stop saying rubbish.
@kifaayatibraheem6083 why did it happen on the Christmas eve?
Other parts of Nigeria are watching the they think it will not get to them. The government knows the perpetrators of this crime, but they are not willing to stop them. Why can't the government allow the villages to carry arms and defend themselves since government security can't protect them. After Plateau is conquered, the killers will move to conquer another state until the country becomes a fulani jihadist empire. A stich in time saves night
Spot on 💯
We are well aware of all that is going on, atleast I am. I grew up in Plateau state even though I'm from another part of the country so I'm very interested in what is going on there as well as in other parts of Nigeria. Individuals carrying illegal arms and ammunition has largely contributed to this continuous carnage! What government should be concerned about is fishing out these unscrupulous elements but that is obviously not the case. The government lacks the political will to eradicate this problem.
Exactly what I've saying. Especially southern Nigeria. Busy fighting tribes while their real enemy keeps advancing in their land occupation agenda
This will NOT happen. More proactive states have long ago established their state vigilante security outfits which successfully stopped the herders' attacks. It is more than high time that Plateau state and Benue state did likewise to protect their people.
the Fulani's in the northern part of Nigeria know what is going on against the indigenous Hausas, including the security agencies, secondly the uniformed men in Nigeria are parts of these perpetrators, yes because so many of these criminals are recruited in the army by their fellow Fulani's in the so-called people in authority
Makes sense there armed forces isn't uniform on the same path

Until we divide & separate...dis Nigeria will never function or work ...bcos it's programmed to fail in an anticlockwise format by the British ( Divide & rule policy/ Formula)
Exactly!!
Nigeria need to break up into not less than 7 countries or regions. We are not one and can never be. These guests speakers are economical with the truth. Everyday I pray my mum is not attacked on her farm. Sometimes the herdsmen wait a distance for her to leave her farm then they go in and eat her crops. There are grasses everywhere but they intentionally take their cows into the farm to eat the crops. Last week half of her grown beans (ready for harvest) were eaten. They are very brutal and kidnap people for ransom too. This is sad and heartbreaking. Buhari’s tenure was even worse as they openly brandished AK47 while disarming the villagers and warning them not to arm themselves. How is that fair? Children now carry sticks on their way to school to protect themselves! Most of the attacked villages are renamed and these Fulani herdsmen settle there. Most of the areas they have ransacked and renamed are today called “ungoverned areas” by the Nigerian government. This is intentional in my opinion 😞
Why would you leave your mum there if you know it’s not safe, and you are commenting here for us to do what? Better take that innocent woman out of that place
That's right
The sacked villages are occupied by the marauders, and government is always saying they will seek out and bring the perpetrators to book. Arrant nonsense.

One of the solutions to curbing and terminating most of Nigerias problems including insecurity, corruption, unemployment, total absence of social welfare,lack of electricity and infrastructures etc is to change the system of government from Federal to a Confederate state, Where every State will be responsible for its on internal affairs and economy. Allow States to take charge of their own security,economy and self sustainability. For a country as populated, with numerous ethnic groups and diversified in many areas of life including in culture and religion ought to operate on an uncentralised government, this without been told is the logical system that will work for us Nigerians. We need an absolute level of State autonomy for the people and its government to make their system function efficiently. These are modern times and we are still using the colonial stucture, policy , strategy and interest in administration. The Youths have to rise up and fight for RESTRUCTURING of this Country. We would have rather fought for a Restructuring rather than for ENDSARS. A restructuring and a Fresh constitution
must be the whole thing on our mind and nothing else.
Peter obi is the right man for the job but he was not allowed to be president, apc government both past and present are evil nothing good can come out of them
Your comment is sensible but would only work if Nigeria had good leaders; unfortunately most state governors do not care about their people, only about lining their pockets. Until there are leaders who are transparent, honest and accountable, Nigeria will continue to suffer insecurity, corruption, unemployment, poor governance
The Fulani aren’t native to Nigeria and largely migrated there when their warriors defeated the Habe Kings of Hausa land. They occupied that territory and have been moving southwards using neighboring tribes to form regional alliances to suppress people in the south and using their British granted political control of Nigeria, they act with impunity. It is not only in Nigeria. They are playing a long game to create an Empire or better still connect all their captured states in one federation. The Arab world backs this same with the imperialists as the Fulani are not Pan African and have a war machine that can secure resources for extraction. The only major foreign power opposing them is Russia who has been helping different tribes in the region to fight these forces. No western power seems to oppose them, they have a special status for an African tribe within the Muslim community especially with the Saudis. Don’t fall for the lies and propaganda. Nigeria can only save itself from its enemies.
@@emekaosisi1288 Yes thanks for your contribution bro and l truly appreciate your contribution of this analysis. What do you feel is the way forward generally from this problems?
I agree with your analysis that the government must be completely restructured, however, I defer on what type of restructuring is needed. In my opinion, a Confederate system of government will not address any problems, and might well foster more separatist movements.
The major problem facing our nation is corruption. This level of corruption seems to be endemic in most African societies because it finds fertile breeding ground: High levels of Uneducation. The facts show this to be the case, the countries with the lowest levels of corruption are also the ones with the highest levels of education. This is why I do not believe that any form of seperation(the different tribes going their own way) or decentralization will solve our problems. It will not solve the uneducation problem; and if it will not solve the uneducation problem, it will not solve the corruption problem; because it will not solve the corruption problem, we are not really going to make any real progress in terms of attaining a more responsible government.
My suggestion might be considered a radical one, but I think it is worth discussing. We have to understand that the primary goal of most politicians is political survival. That is, the primary goal of most politicians is to gain power and then retain power. For any government that will work, it has to find a way to align these tendencies of politicians towards the right goal(which is nation building). The incentives have to be gotten right. The democracies of most western countries do a good job of this. The democracies in Africa and parts of Asia and South America do a terrible job of this. Politicians in this part of the world realize that there are many other ways to attain and retain power including, but not limited to, election rigging, bribery, coercion, appealing to religious or ethnic sentiments e.t.c. These practices are of course fostered by the uneducation problem.
To prevent this from being such a long write-up, I will conclude. My proposal is a cross between a federal system and a centralized system. Each local government, for instance, must have a great deal of autonomy. Each local government must be, in effect, it's own state. The Local government chairman should be appointed by a centralized organization. This organization will be responsible for the appointment and assessment of each official put in a leadership post. Essentially, every politician should be assessed by certain metrics such as education improvement under their administration, infrastructure development, unemployment rate, GDP, standard of living, public opinion e.t.c. Based on these assessments, only those who have routinely done very well should be allowed to progress any further up the pyramid. I also advocate the 5/75/20 formula. After every term, the least performant 20% of leadership post holders are completely terminated. If your record at the local government level is poor, you have no chance of progressing to become a state governor or indeed become the president. With this system, only those who have passed through the local government level and performed very well, passed through the state government level and done very well, are qualified to run for presidency. I would also do away with the whole political party system and the campaigning system. Individuals, competent individuals, running for office, not groups. In short, make it very difficult for anyone or any group to bribe their way to the top. The idea is that whichever president gets elected into office, it must be someone that we are confident deserves to be there because his records speak for him/her.
This system is not perfect, it's not full-proof, but then again, there's no system that is. I hate it when it's election year, and I take a look at the candidates I have to choose from, and I cannot see a single individual that is worth my vote. It's very painful and frustrating. The governmental system I advocate is a more meritocratic one.
Somebody knows something. I got a gut feeling about it 🤔
You are absolutely right
this is too much in Nigeria 😭
I'm from Nigeria and they're Islamic jihad not unknown.
I'm not Nigeria but they are criminal terrorism. Not Islam
🤣🤣🤣
All’ the boko Haram terrorist that Buhari granted amnesty, and recruited into the Nigerian army should be fish out and be interviewed concerning this plateau disaster. This is what Mailafia said before his death. It is now happening before our eyes.
I like the way isa sanusi speaks
Why is Aljazeera inviting dishonest guests to speak on such as very serious issue. When someone takes a gun to the bank, his motivation is undoubtedly money. In the case of Plataux State, the motivation of the unknown gunmen is grazing land (fertility/water). Policing can only work when the root causes are fearlessly discussed. Identify the problem and the solution could be found without using police or army. Land grab, land grab, land grab, guest are afraid to speak out. How can people be killed and people who claim to be working in peace institute and Armnesty international can not discussed the root cause of the persistent killings. Government can not investigate the matter because of legitimacy crisis. Rigging causes instability.
The truth is that some elements in the military and government are in sympathy with some of this terrorist.
This happened 10 years ago,the same thing almost the same amount of casualties as well,
Also in 2005
Trend
Justice and Fairness is the only Solution to the insecurity problem in Nigeria.
Farming is not a crime...
Islam ☪️ the king of violence
I think that the issue is that both farmers and herders are loosing land due to climate issues. Lack of water and persistent heat created the "fertile soil" for these kind of conflicts. The over usage of oil and other pollutants are again the cause of misery in the world. This is exactly why capitalism is so bad for us, especially uninhabited capitalism.
@@KL-zt6jxyou're a terrorist...most terrorist sympathizers will blame Jupiter but not the actual terrorist. Why didn't Israel blame blame the climate when Hamas attacked? this has been happening since 1865. The tribes of Nigeria are ethnicity cleans. They boast about it because they have their people at the top of the military. Ghana is a Christian majority state and has tackle the issue....massive attack on slecect christian community started in 2001 and excalated immediate arms was pump to fight gadaffi. Those region resistance ismalisation during the 1865 caliphates conquest.
This people are called to talk bad about the nigeria government incapability when aljazeera itself was a sponsor of this crime using media to cover it up... this jihad on Christian cardied out on Christmas day whats so big to understand. ??? The state government is also seeking a way to earn money from this while the military leader will start using this as a way of calling the government incapability and go for coup which is aljazeera expectation to protect niger
This is not related to farming,it is 100% an ethno-religious conflict, yes the natives tend to be sedentary Christian farmers while the attackers are Muslim Fulani herdsmen who are nomadic hence they scout this communities,identify the vulnerable spots and then launch attacks. The natives are basically sitting ducks because the attackers get to decide when and where to attack, the attacks are plainly targeted at wiping out every living person in those communities and taking over.
The attackers mobilize from the surrounding states, and then retreat back to those places after the attacks while using the herdsmen as scouts to report back about the aftermath of their attacks and to identify the next vulnerable communities.
It's quite unfortunate that we have such people as government! If the attackers don't have the support of the government and or security operatives, why wouldn't they follow in the bush and make arrest but only arrest victims who are trying to provide help for themselves and of course the security forces for failure to do their job!! If they are not ready to provide us with the security they are paid to do, we don't need them. let the citizens protect themselves. Though the security forces are against but they are not ready to do their work despite being paid for. Nigeria should not lose money paying security forces and also losing lives in the hands of planned terrorists attacks, enough is enough!!!!!
Nnamdi kanu was right 💯
This is a good example
Isa you are is speaking well
The man is speaking the mind of the people
There is no sign of accountability, no sign to bring the perpetrators to book.
Aljazeera gathered idiots to come and discuss this matter, they all want to sound politically correct. If tinubu knows he wants to stand tall, they should ban cattle herding in plateau and Benue. Nobody will die if they are not eating meat. There should ask all herders to leave those two states, anyone who will feel hurt should relocate to the north west and east to do cattle rearing business
Aljazeera is pro jihadist, so they invite pro jihadist and or persons fearful of jihadists. Let Gowon be praying sorry playing this is what he imported in 1967.
Great Analysis by Isa Sanusi . Chris is a political scientist, cooking and dishing out political response to a sadden situation.
Serious….he was dodging questions unnecessarily
Whats going on in Plateau is islamization by ethinic cleansing.
The salient questions the presenter asked were skirted around and avoided.
Those leaders don't do anything they just talk what people will love to hear not action in their words crying 😢😢😢
When one is not ready to say the truth, a question that need straight answer yes or no, take a long explanation. The simple truth is that, the Nigerian elite have the key to solving the problem. State policing is highly needed, citizen should be empowered to protect themselves.
Thank you Aljezeera for bringing these issues to light, someone is gaining from these atrocities. Your panels are not saying the truth.
State policing is very important in this country… that is the only way to stop this Fulani killings.
Listen to them all dancing around the question 😢. Who is responsible for the attacks? That’s the question. How do you implement any solutions when you do not know or cannot name who is responsible? Rubbish
Hypocrite Al Jazeera. You do not mention the perpetrators because they are your islamic missionaries.
Idiot! There is professional ethics to follow.
Don't forget what's is happening to the fulani every day where r u from guess the fulani r not human ha ?
How dumb can you be?
They know
Not Islam they're criminal terrorism organisation fulani.
Why was the militsry not protecting their citizens? Good guestion!
The military is infiltrated by the same herders who killed.
Nigeria is dead no one Nigeria. Yoruba nation. Biafra nation. Arewa nation
Religion of peace strikes again
TRUE TALK
My heart sinks
The so called soldiers and police are in South East😅. Nigeria has fallen and all must hail Biafra ❤.
Direct questions but never direct answers. They are fearful especially the man in the middle from USIP
The Nigerian present security architecture is corruptly eschewed, it cannot solve the strategic security challengesfacing Nigeria, other than intimidate and exploiting of her citizens. Restructuring and establishing a state police will go a long way in solving the local security menace.
Dey speak grammar
Every human should protect themselves now those govt officials who took away the peoples means of protecting themselves and looked the other way while they were being slaughtered needs to held accountable.
This cycle of violence has to be broken. Vengeance and Counter Vengeance will never lead anywhere.
Because you are not involved, have u ever witnessed a mass killing?
Brainless talk
And when did vengeance happen? Where did you read about that. Seems like you are a kid. Stop typing and go and meet your mom.
Vengeance has not even been tried by the right side yet. Fulani are clearly evil
The killings is only one way, not two ways.
We should be allow to carry arms like the fullany herders too ,we the plateau are treated fair for years we can not tolerate this anymore ,we will defend yourself by the grace of God
It’s an ethnic issue. You have the Fulani Muslim herdsmen on one hand and you have the pacifist christian people on the receiving end.
The Fulani militia like their savage janjaweed brethren in Sudan have a genocidial desire to ethnically cleanse the indigenous tribal peoples who are mostly Christians.
The Fulani herdsmen want their land. They have been trying for decades to occupy and take over their lands. This is simply a continuation of the same process.
"fulani muslim herders"? Are you telling us that there are no fulani christian herders or that muslim communities too do not experience attacks from herders? Do your research before giving a general overview of what you think you know about this issue. Most of the blame should go towards all leaders, especially the elected ones. The moment we start voting the right people from the councillorship through to the presidency is when we will really reap the benefits of a peaceful society. Imagine a majority of people voting for an incompetent man/woman just because of a subjective reason and expecting him/her to perform objectively. What do our governors do with their security votes? If a leader cannot secure his/her territory or at least try to do so, he/she should resign. That is why you have councillors, chairmen, assembly and reps members, senators and a president in that order. When you want to blame someone, pick one of these guys. They are not there to make excuses. They are even paid ostensibly to work. They were elected to among other things, to serve and protect everyone living within their boundaries. All governors are chief security officers of their respective states, so any state experiencing security challenges majorly has its governor to blame, especially the clueless ones. Have you ever heard a Nigerian governor or president resigning due to incompetence? Only death can resign them. Not even losing half of the people they claim to represent will push them to resign. Next time, when you want to blame someone, start with the delegates who voted subjectively, then those who during elections also vote subjectively, then blame the leaders who also act subjectively once they get elected.
Well said.
Yep
Tomorrow someone will tell me it’s a religion of peace 😢😢😢😢😢
There is no commitment in the side of the Nigerian government , they will say it but no action taken , let meddle belts join Biafra government because Nigerian government cannot protect them.
Isa Sanusi said it’s all, seems chris and musa don’t understand the insecurity nature of Nigeria and the Nigerian government unwillingness to stop it
Al jazeera failure to speak about biafra independence is the same as Nigeria not tackling violence.
💔 Buhari, the former president, took away gun licenses from real owners of the Nigerian land, disarmed them to defend themselves, and gave guns to his Islamic Fulani invasion tribes. These tribe still believe in Islamic Danfodio war of the 1805, the era these Islamic groups invaded Nigeria from the north. They believe that the land of the entire country belongs to them. They are controlling the politics, the army and the administration of Nigeria through the help of the British who signed a deal with them in 1914. They are also in control of the oil fields in the south, surprisingly, separating communities to rule the country easily. These guys on screen are not speaking the truth not to be killed by the government like others. These Christians are killed and will be killed until the British government becomes serious to keep their Islamic ruling allies in check to stop the land grab. Tinubu can't do anything. He's just a puppet in power. Plateau people are good Christian loving people and their hospitality is now used against them. ❌💔. This is the main reason people are asking for their own country away from Nigeria.
That professor was just speaking without making sense. Two issues raised are accountability and community policing. Both issues can reduce or stop these kinds of attack in future.
omo, i thought i was tripping.. That guy was just speaking too many gramma that were not coherent. i Pity him students 😆
Unfortunately everyone seem to be afraid of commenting on the real issues and when government officials complain, who do we run to. The truth is the Nigerian government and security architecture is infiltrated and is sympathetic to terrorism with massive corruption that embezzles anything that looks like solutions, financially, security and otherwise.
If terror persists, there's some level of government participation.
Anything investigation in Nigeria is perfected on media. It becomes another opportunity for corrupt political class to enrich themselves otherwise 2 decades is enough to create solution for a reoccurring dilemma.
If the world cares, they should allow Nigeria elect credible leaders and not influence the emergence of recycled criminals in the name of interest and power play.
Professor is an agent of the government. Very obvious he's trying to be diplomatic. He had nothing to offer on this show.
From this interview, it's safe to conclude that the attackers are ghosts. The interviewer asked the question twice but none of them could say who exactly the perpetrators of this evil are.
And this is not a criminal act, it is a terror act that has been going on for two decades now in Nigeria and no one wants to call it what it is
These program is a waste of time. Even when pushed, these guests are ecinomical with the truth.
These Fulanis have a strong propeganda mechanism. Even the victims' spokesmen is te) ing only half truths. Shame!
What you need is justice Mr...that's the foundation for peace
Trace the money. For one, the military budget has increased more than 20 times since all the insecurity, therefore, it is an open secret that the insecurity can be stopped in less than 2 months if you know, you know...
True 💯
This is jihad on Christian...sponsored from niger 🇳🇪 Republic!!! Expecting nigeria coup soon
The most important factor in all this that is missing is the Facts. What are the facts of this situation? Who are the perpetrators? Where are they located? Why doesn’t the Plateau govt have some form of security apparatus? Why is Nigeria so slow to embrace drone technology to get on top of recurring security threats? Govts at Federal and State level run huge motorcades for their own safety. Yet invest nothing to secure its citizens.
Why been politically correct, these attacks are by a Fulani Militia whose aim is to ethnically cleanse and then take possession of ancestral lands of the natives and they have gone ahead to rename some of these displaced settlements but analysts still find it hard to say it as it is! Also the Nigerian security architecture is no longer fit for purpose, policing should now be decentralised with state and even local government police that are well trained and armed at least a minimum of about 10k additional personel per the six geopolitical regions for starters anything short of these measures will fall short...and for goodness sake Plateau/ Middle belt citizens should also know that self preservation is one of the first laws of nature...there is the JTF in the North East, SW responded with Amotekun at some point, equally the South East toyed with Ebube agu in response to these marauding merchants of death. The Middle belt/ North central need to smell the cofee and take proactive steps to face these cowards attacking women, children, elderly etc in the middle of the night while their representatives at the NASS sponsor bills for state police ASAP, there is a general consensus this is needed but the urgency is now...a word is enough for the wise!
Who will save Plateau people?
That's how Africa operate.
One brain cell.
17:30 Fighting over land??
What happened once, twice and many times is no more a mistake. Those people live in that area. Until Nigeria grow above politicising everyone they won’t change
You people are still playing when you get serious you will fish out their sponsors but for now you all are playing street football!
All the young Africa leaders will united all Africa so these problems will be solved
The problem is the islamic teaching ideology, when you read some chapters in the quran and Hadith they are filled with hatred statement against other faith.
Islam isn't a peaceful religion it creates Superiority above others faith , and forceful convertion through violence.
In my father's state in kwara state in Nigeria. It has separated us I don't ever visiting or investing in my own father state due to the separation Arab Islam creating division among same people that speak the same language, same families, same ethics groups same bloodline.
You're are a wasted sperm
Honestly
🤡
Same Story. This Annual xams day gift in Nigeria
The only problem of Nigeria is leadership, despite huge amount of money are spending on security but has no impact on Nigerians shame on the government.
Politics is nothing but catastrophic for Nigerians we the common people aren't benefit from such kind of system
Unfortunately, the government's initiatives will yield little or no fruit with the level of sabotage in the military and institutions of government. This sabotage is borne out of sentimental bias and lack of patriotism. Instead of Nigeria first, it is my family, my village, my tribe, my religion; while Nigeria is at the end of the queue.
Tinubu has placed a Fulani man to run nsa, fualni runs dss, nothing good will come up from their policies
Chris you be mugu 😂😂😂
Yes
Confirm mugu
I think Nigeria should be relegated from the name of being the giant of Africa since they cannot deal with their own internal security issues. It's very shameful to see innocent people dying senselessly like this by this barbaric idiots.
Tragedy Unfolds: The Ongoing Cycle of Violence in Bokkus, Plateau State, Nigeria, and the Urgent Call for Accountability
My heart is heavy for the people who lost their lives in the Bokkus region of Plateau State Nigeria on December 25, 2023. The brutality of the attacks, particularly the heartbreaking scenes of mothers and children being mercilessly killed in their own homes, is truly devastating. Infants left behind beside the lifeless bodies of their mothers, crying and traumatized, is a grim image that reflects the horrifying reality faced by innocent citizens.
These atrocities have been occurring since 2001, and the lack of accountability is deeply troubling. The promises of the government to bring the perpetrators to justice seem empty and ineffective. The cycle of violence continues unabated, with no one being held responsible. The senseless killings and the impunity enjoyed by the culprits paint a grim picture of a nation where evil prevails, and the vulnerable pay the highest price.
The recent incident on Christmas Day, a time when families should be celebrating, highlights the failure of the government to protect its citizens. It is disheartening that the impoverished, those striving to raise their families peacefully, are targeted without mercy. Nigeria, once a promising land, has become a breeding ground for violence and lawlessness.
The recurring mass burials and the inability of those left behind to even grieve properly underscore the dire situation. The government, the military, and the police, all entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the people, should be held accountable for their failure. It is not a crime to be poor, to be at home with your family, or to be a Nigerian. The leadership's inability to address and curb this violence condemns innocent citizens to a life of fear, displacement, and death.
The lack of justice allows the perpetrators to revel in their wickedness, reinforcing their belief that they can act with impunity. The cries of the victims and the spilled blood on the streets demand accountability, not just from the direct culprits but from every individual in a position of leadership and authority who has failed in their duty to protect the lives of the citizens they serve.
God bless the 3rd speaker....
Arm group or Islamic jihadist?
Tyrant Buhari said he was going to end it in a short time. It got worse under his regime.
The interviewer's questions are artfully dodged by the people being questioned by all types of deflection.....all trying to be politically correct and not tell the truth...they all are aware of. Pathetic!
