BUHARI — THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO NIGERIA?
Yes! He might as well be.
It took the second coming of Muhammadu Buhari to reveal the true state of Nigeria - a country too divided, too polarised & too different that it will never become a nation

Hitherto, the Fulani elites had hidden under a veneer of unity & cooperation, constantly deploying soft power, veiled threats & violent outbursts against other Nigerians in order to maintain their perch on power and skewed advantage over the resources of Nigeria.
It took a Buhari to bring to clarity the fact that the Fulani elites believe that they own Nigeria and the rest of us ought to be servants or slaves.
This clarity of the true nature of Nigeria will force Nigeria to confront herself.

LEAVE ATIKU ALONE, GO AND BEG NIGERIANS
All these people, including several high-powered delegations, "begging" Atiku Abubakar to accept this brazen subversion of the wishes of Nigerians seem not to understand that the issue has gone beyond @atiku.

As it stands now, @atiku is a mere representation of the collective aspiration of the people for a #BetterNigeria.
These people/delegations should channel their "beggings" to the appropriate quarters. They should go and beg the millions of Nigerians @MBuhari screwed up. The dozens that were tragically killed in the mad quest to retain power.
The systematic #Fulaniherdsmen killings in Benue State can be attributed to several reasons;climate change, pacification of the Tivs & forceful occupation of the Benue Trough by the Fulanis etc.But the one cause that's often overlooked is the complicity of the ruling elite.THREAD
HOW SUCCESSIVE BENUE STATE GOVERNMENTS/GOVERNORS
MADE BENUE FARMERS SOFT TARGETS FOR FULANI HERDSMEN.
This is a thread of pain.
Pain of opportunities lost.
Pain of a harvest of blood.

I am Tiv, from Benue State. This clarification needs to be made right at the start so as to put my opinion into a proper perspective. It is not a popular opinion because it indicts the ruling class and its hangers-on
