As a journalist, I come across various stories in the papers, but all I see is Pain, 70 killed 20 wounded, and trust PR na, that actually means 100 Killed.
It pains me so much to see dead bodies strewn across fields in the papers, houses demolished and debris raining from the skies, people running for their lives, children traumatized etc.
What are we? A couple of barbarians in the dark ages, who kill at a whim?
Who gave you the right to take a life you cannot create.
Come sef, what measures have been put in place by the government in whose hands our security are in?
They have the topmost responsibility of protecting the lives of the persons who put them there.
Noooo, they don't do that, after all is it their village that was attacked?, their homes are heavily protected.
Let me give an instance of Yahaya Bello's residence on Benghazi street, every time he visits, a whole battalion of police men escort him, please how precious is his life to the rest of us that he has to have almost half the police under his employ when there are volatile places where they are needed.
Sometimes I ask, what do our leaders take us for, the idiots who will vote for us when we share rice and money?
Do they see us as people worth protecting at all.
It is Plateau today, tomorrow who knows where they would hit.
I understand that cattle is precious to the breeders, but for God's sake it is not worth human blood, infact hundreds of cows is not up to one human.
I wonder if these cattle are going to eat themselves when they butcher everyone like they did in Jos.
Me I am just talking my own ooo, since they have justified their attacks as reprisal and our President is still there doing we will punish them.
With the way things are going and his laxity towards punishing these guys, one day he might just assign 200 soldiers to guard them.
It is in God's hands that we place our lives. Please to the good people of Plateau state, accept my heartfelt sympathy.
God help Nigeria.
