The repeated killings and impunity with which the perpetrators parade themselves has really raised a lot of eyebrows as to whether there is government complicity in the whole episode.

The Fulani born President has been handling the issue with kids gloves, and even his recent assertion that the killings are perpetrated by Lybians trained by late Gaddafi makes one wonder if he is actually worthy of being a leader.

The same herds men he was saying every state in the country should donate land free of charge to in order for them to rear their cows are now Lybians?

I wonder when herds men carry Ak-47 riffles around in broad daylight and they are not arrested. People are brought out from their homes at night and slaughtered, blockaded in their churches and massacred, their wives and daughters are raped and then butchered yet no arrests have been made.

Benue state keeps burying people every week in mass graves, and whole villages are sacked and burnt, yet the government is doing nothing to protect these innocent lives, one sometimes wonders if this is not a government sponsored jihad.

Indeed the situation has raised a lot of eyebrows, but what can we do other than to pray for my beloved country Nigeria.
