Its actually sad on what is happenings here in the North but what do you expect when some governors are negotiating and giving the criminals money tp stop their inhuman killing while the victims are left lamenting with nothing. God will surely expose their collaborators in power.
The insecurity, instability and killings keep getting worse because Nigeria is ruled by a President who feels that he must protect and prevent his people from going to jail.
The more this President keep releasing captured Boko Haram terrorists from prison under the spurious claim they have repented, the more they keep killing and butchering Nigerians.
He thinks he is doing the fulani ethnic group a favour but he is inherently turning them to die-hard killers. Hopefully one day Nigeria will be under the leadership of a no nonsense president who would go hard on terrorists and finish off all the killer elements.
What a situation. I take a stroll. Nonsense.
Forty-seven people massacred and Police said it is restoring normalcy to the place! But why are we like this in this country? Are these victims goats? COVID-19 just killed about eleven people,and government has raised about #22bn from rich Nigerians to fight it. Is it because our politicians knew security guards can’t protect them from COVID-19 that made serious about it or what? What about this gruesome massacre?
It’s sad my bro! I doubt u a northerner, that’s why u care , cus they don’t care about themselves I bet things would have been a lot today if they do and this lack of care has affected everyone in the country and everything they do
