Nigerians React As FG Offers Herdsmen N100 Billion To ‘Stop Kidnapping’ In 2019

There is an uproar on the social media at the moment after a video of the federal government offering Fulani herdsmen a lop sum was shared.

The video was  shared by popular media entrepreneur, Dele Momodu and in it,  the federal government held a meeting with the leaders of the herders and offered them the sum of N100 Billion to ‘stop kidnapping’ in the country.

A digger investigation however revealed that the video was recorded in 2019, and after the video went viral then, Miyetti Allah debunked ever receiving such money for the purpose of curbing kidnapping but for ranches.

Meanwhile, Nigerians are not having any of this, as some accused the federal government of giving N100 Billion to herders but always neglecting the demands of ASUU.

This is not a recent video sir. My anger is that after this money was paid to them, the kidnapping, killing and encroachment increased. A lot of official madness occur in our nation. I'm just tired sir, really tired.

Omooooo, what’s all these? Does the country belong to these people?? Did FG give money to victims of the EndSars protest or victims of several mishaps happening in the country. Las las, only God and Abija can intervene in this matter. Awon Oloshi.
