AN INVADER STRIKES PEACE DEAL WITH HIS VICTIMS. . WHAT KIND OF PEACE IS THAT?

A peace deal, or truce implies that a major disagreement, with a potential for degenerating into a breakdown of law and order is on. We know for a fact that peace has long fled these shores, and we are not talking about the Boko-Haram infestation. For a government that refuses to intervene on behalf of the abused, traumatized and displaced farmers, to now choose to broker peace is a clear indication that it is on the side of the invading cattle herdsmen. The FG Police looks the other way regarding the invasion of farming communities, burning and pillaging and finally murder. By ignoring the epicentre of the armed herdsmen attack, while choosing to pretend to play the honest broker role in other parts of the South, the Buhari administration is striving diabolically to normalize criminal behaviour by its protected and chosen ones. It has already achieved the first part, when the press rolled over to NOW describe what is going on as the Farmer - Herdsmen clash. From day one, this has been a lie from the pit of hell. Whatever happened to the words invasion, pillage, arson, rape, murder, ethnic cleansing, genocide, etc that better describe what we are up against. In that much abused headline, note that the word Farmer comes first. What an affront? In addition the words "armed, AK47" never appear in the headlines. Can we also blame the Fulani press for this? No! It is the fault of the sheepish Southern and Lagos press bending over backwards to self-censor and appear politically correct while the nation burns. These are things for which we cannot blame President Buhari. # Meanwhile it is really amazing that membership and leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders, who are technically on the Police Most Wanted List in Benue, Nasarrawa and Taraba States, should be holding peace meeting in Enugu and addressing the press. The same Inspector General of Police who is averse to obeying a direct order by the president, answering a summon by the Senate, will in all likelihood come running when the head of Miyetti Allah becons. That's the abysmally low point Nigeria has now sunk.
