When they were killing our people and they were struggling to defend themselves, this thing turned a blind eye.

The news was suppressed. Hardly got to mainstream media. Hundreds of lives lost.

Now this one is here travelling up and down, like they are his colonial masters. Looking into the matter wasn't sufficient?

Beginning to believe this dude was adopted, cos this is the exact opposite of Edo people.

Anything to please his principals and secure second tenure I guess

Shameless

While I, as a human Being, sympathize with the families of the victims, I am also disappointed in the response of northern elites towards the killings up there of both Christians and Muslims

Sometimes just because we have cameras with people holding mics in our front doesn't give us the permission to be foolish and talk stupidly without thinking first.

Mr governor well done when you are done wit your address, please channel that energy in ensuring Edo is free from floodings across it major roads in Benin city

All this noise just bcus northerners were killed?

What about the innocent farmers and villagers murdered by Fulani herdsmen??

What about the killers of Deborah??

What happens to Fulani herdsmen wrecking havoc in south right now??

Are the northerners bigger than Nigerian law??

It's time we summon the courage and stand up to question the basis of one Nigeria.

We can't continue and make progress the way are going.

When will Jigawa state governor or Katsina state governor come to Ondo, Enugu, Ogun to sympathize with victims of Herders killings?

My brother, no be small thing oh! The same northerners who kill southerners almost on daily basis and their leaders will turn the other way as if nothing happened. Honestly, as much as I hate to it it, we southerners have been conquered!

Take a look at a whole State governor running upandan onto the matter. Just imagine! How many of their governor has ever reacted to southern killings that way?

Why did the government keep quiet all the while Uromi villagers have been crying of Fulani kidnappers and rapists terrorizing their communities?

So the so called armed Northern Hunters' lives is more valuable than the lives of vulnerable Uromi villagers that have suffered several deaths in the hands of Hausa-Fulani kidnappers for over a year now?


What has the Edo State and Federal government done to stop Fulanis from sacking villages, raping, kidnapping and killing people in Uromi, Enugu, Ondo, Benue, etc?

This nonsense these politicians are doing might lead to civil unrest and a possible ethnic war......you cannot be quiet about the kidnapping and deaths of other Nigerians and now start showing so much concern about villagers fighting back insecurity in their own crude way?




Edo State people have elected a certified ode.....another Hopeless Uzodinma of Imo state have been installed in Edo State to destroy and hand over Edo to Northern caliphate in the name of political correctness angry angry angry

I am still bemused by the hunters angle of the story

Why leave all the forests in the North, to go hunting all the way down to the South?

Does it make any sense?

Allow him do the politics to avert escalation in other regions of the country. But, how do hunters travel long distance with guns? Where do they hunt? Are hunters employed outside their regions now? How do they understand a different terrain?

Exactly the northern governors should do the same. I understand the Edo state governor is trying to avoid reprisal killings that could affect every southerner in the North but he should also make strong demands on the northern kidnappers in our forests.
