Why is it that you guys always defend the atrocities of this fulani herdmen that is capable of doing any thing for their caw? This guy’s are desperate, wicked and devilish . Imagine lasttime one of them enter my garden and when I asked him to leave, he was asking saying : I dey crazy?
Theno I responded yes and he started going towards the caw before they left. Self defence is not bad. When this happens again, the villagers should mobilise to fight them back. That which I think it will put an end to it.
That is the reason why i hate this country called “One Nigeria”
this story is very real it happened in my community. ekpoma Edo staye
So what is more important is protection of the fulani by the police? When people are pushed to become more savage against the fulani and security agents, the outcry will become louder than what is happening now.

the youths of that area are useless ….. they should slaughter any herdsmen they see… blood for blood…… useless set of creature
This is why we need Biafra
Correct talk bro
imagine nonsense in this country…… why should police go and protect them….. wicked set of people
Wait i dont understand why are the police protecting them. Infact that community most replace that womans head with 20 heads from the fulani men that is what i call reply.
I don’t know much about Esan pple, but Benin where I come from will kill those Fulani with code base on underground matter, we Bam
Police are protecting herdsmen’s order from higher authorities. kill agriculture first before killing individual.
Nor be lie based on logistic Benin bam heads for head blood everywhere.protect them my foot God punish all fulani
All the fulanis should quit edo territory Before next week run down. I’m seeing rain coming. This rain will come from God. God is about to fight for edo people.
I”m not happy with the way the onojie of Ekpoma react on this matter of herdmen killing in esan west. Let him clare state of emergency for the herdmen, go for blood for blood, don”t allow those slaves to destroyed your own people, and let the elders stop collecting bribed from fulani herdmen, and don”t sale your people like cow to slaughters?
May her soul rest in peace
