"MAFO LEADERS NOW DEEP ASLEEP AS FULANI HERDSMEN THREATEN BENUE" - Bat Hilary (SSA)
The issue rising from Benue State government is quite appalling. The title of this article was called from the Facebook wall of Mr Bat Hilary, a special adviser to the governor on Social and Entertainment.
Recall that the FULANI HERDSMEN menace was getting to an uncontrollable peak before a vibrant movement started to kick against the destructive intrusion of the Fulanis herdsmen. Amazingly a bill was passed and subsequently passed into law by his excellency, the executive governor of Benue State.
Barely two weeks of signing the law, the Fulanis have threatened to invade Benue as they are considering the law to be against their economic activities in the state which originally does not belong to them.
One would primarily think that, the government should do all it takes to ensure that all lives in the state are protected against foreign attacks especially the Fulanis who are determined to wreck havoc after the much they have done already.
This singular update("MAFO LEADERS NOW DEEP ASLEEP AS FULANI HERDSMEN THREATEN BENUE" - Bat Hilary (SSA) ) by the Senior Special Assistant to the governor has generated a lot of concerns from the public as comments flood his post all pointing to the fact... Read the comments below.
1. Hilary Bat Hills Nyikwagh, how do yo want them to react?
Government have total control of security and its her primary responsibility.
2. Hilary Bat Hills Nyikwagh, I earlier emphasized this morning on similar position that our motives for peacefully coexistence with the nomads at our expense doesn't in anyway transcends weakness and shouldn't be taken for a ride. We all must push for a proactive stance to wholistically ensuring that the jihadists occupation to further incarcerate our people is brought to size. Any efforts from any group and individuals to this wise is appreciated.
3. Go ahead and do something. I mean you. Does Benue belong to only MAFO?
4. This post shows your level of understanding of the issues concerning this subject matter, you think it's about MAFO, the movement is not saddled with the responsibility to protect lives and property, but as a call of consciousness and concern for her people, MAFO did the needful as a pressure group. grow out of pettiness.
5. Do you want MAFO to arrest the cows? Are they police? Tell that the Chief Executive not MAFO, pls. Thank you amigo Nyikwagh Bat Hills Hilary.
6. Kai, ye Ka some appointees mba Gavment. Msugh Nyikwagh Bat Hills Hilary. MAFO was a child of necessity, what have you done in your capacity to respond to the Fulani attacks? Has it turn into a MAFO affair now? Just look at the comments above, you have succeeded in bringing insults to the government. It is better to say mute than attract misgiving comments to the government you are serving. Teryila Ibn Apine, we should better advice some people to concentrate on their given assignments. There is much work to be done.
Meanwhile, as the arguments trail in, the SSA said something that generates more heat. See below.
Abyah Joseph, one would expect that the fire with which they mounted pressure for intervention and launched awareness campaign for the bill prohibiting open grazing law should be intensified now, especially as the bill is signed and the Fulani interest groups are rising against the state in protest.
Why would MAFO go to bed at this auspicious time when their campaign would have been even more effective?
Are they not happy that the bill has taken effect?
Why are they silent in the face of all these threats?
Why would they abandon a fight they started, half way?
Any motives?
More reactions are coming up. I have observed that the SSA should have left this issue to lie as it is creating a loophole in the government. No one seems to understand his point. Let's read further:

8. With due respect sir, I see this article as rather been sarcastic.
Primarily, it is the responsibility of government to create a conducive environment for her citizens. The government has all the machineries at her disposal to care for her people. Why leaving the machines to lie waste?
The fight MAFO was quite commendable and we appreciate it. MAFO can only tell government about our needs, nothing they can really do to curb any intrusion into our sovereign state. The government has.
Sir, MAFO had told the government what exactly to do, thank God we have the law now. Let government push further to enforce the law.
If MAFO has to be the one to enforce the law, then let MAFO become a government agency saddled with the responsibility of enforcing the law to its full potential. Thank you.
9. You do not know that MAFO was formed because of the failure of government. It's totally unfortunate. But you are SSA. Why would anyone want to blame you? I say this very respectfully.
So far it has not been easy as many people see the post to be a sarcasm mocking the futility of all the struggles MAFO put in to ensure the government do needful in protecting lives and property in the state.
