What is currently happening to Benue people should not be a surprise to anyone who experienced or have read about the Nigeria- Biafran war- 1967-1970. Benue people played an important role in the killing of millions of Biafran people, not only living in their land but in all villages in Biafra land.
In fact, what is happening in Benue today is called "Reap Seed Sown ". They are reaping what they sowed.
There is an adage that “ what goes up must come down”. If not because of the life of innocent people living in Benue, after reading the history of Onoja from Benue State during Nigeria- Biafra war, one may want the killings to continue. It was reported that Onoja personally led 25 thousand soldiers to Biafra land to commit genocide.
The fight between Fulani herdsmen and the Benue indigenes does not seem to be a child’s play. It appears to be predetermined by those in the helm of affairs in Nigeria. This is more evidenced as Muhammad Buhari believe that the Fulani people should have right in the land they conquered years back. This is time for Paul Unongo to show his belief in one Nigeria. This man Paul Unongo publicly described IPOB as a terrorist group. Today, one wonders what he will describe the herdsmen as?
It is on record that Fulani herdsmen have killed more than 170 Benue indigenes and nothing has been done about it but immediately after the retaliation by Benue people, Muhammadu Buhari sent the military to molest the people of Benue, instead of fight against the herdsmen. This is just good morning to all the Benue indigenes because the tears of innocent Biafrans are still flowingly seeking justice, and justice must be done.
The Benue people should get ready because the Fulanis are still coming. It is just One hundred and seventy people that have died and they have started agitating for separation, which means that IPOB is hundred percent right.
yes indeed..... I strongly believe in that. or is it the Biafrans that were intercepted while coming back home during the civil war and thrown into River Benue? Benue people should realise that what is currently happening to them isn't ordinary.
