It's obvious that what is happening in Southern Kaduna is a sad, dangerous but deliberate orchestration by evil minded men who are frightened and threatened of the Christian faith.
I ask what has been the response of the governor of Kaduna state? What efforts has he put in to stem the tide apart from paying the herdsmen for a job weldone?
Would the governor be this silent, nonchalant and ambivalent if sunni fulanis were been put to death?
Why is the presidency silent? Why is the famed Gen. Buhari suddenly lost?
How come he suddenly realises that they have a governor who is on top of the situation?
Did Zamfara not have a governor when he went to set up a military task force for cattle safety? I recall he was dressed in his military gear! And for cattle! But he finds it difficult to put on same military gear and go set up a military task force to save the life of people kept in his custody?
Sad! Shameful!! Disgraceful!!!
Where are the local media? Why have they not reported this carnage with the same intensity that they reported the Boko Haram menace? I am not to be satiated by the perfunctionary reports I have seen in the media. No depth. No meat. Just chaff reportage. And to think that most media outfit are owned by supposed Christians. And it's Christians that are being killed In South Kaduna!
And pray what has the international media led by the ubiquitous CNN and garrulous Al Jazera said? The criminal conspiracy is appalling and annoying. Why have they purposely kept their reports at ambivalent levels? Why are they not running commentaries, inviting renowned security experts, inviting government officials to a panel or for an interview on the matter? Why? Oh why?
Where Is CAN/PFN? Hey don't tell me about some tepid, impotent and ineffective press releases or conferences? This is the time for these Christian bodies to organise the people of southern kaduna to defend themselves. This is time to show leadership! Why are they not in all the media houses showing videos and pictures of the carnage been perpetrated against a people because of their faith? I expect them to be in the UN, ECOWAS, AU, EU, ICC and all other such organisations showing the world what the people of southern kaduna are suffering.
Our northern brethren are in need of our help, it will be a tragedy to fail them!
We must stop the shedding shedding of blood!
We must collective stop the genocide happening in southern kaduna.
The worst purveyors of evil are not those who commit the act but those who say and do nothing!
Southern Kaduna must be free!
Southern Kaduna genocide must stop!
We must do something or stop lamenting on social media! They don't care about what we say here!
