Yul Edochie Condemns Southeast Killings Says True Leaders Protect Their Own
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has expressed deep concern over the rising violence in Nigeria’s southeast, questioning the actions of those who claim to be fighting for Biafra but end up killing their own people.
In a passionate post on his Facebook page, Edochie made it clear that there is no justification for harming fellow Igbos, regardless of ideological differences. He argued that true strength lies in protecting one’s people, not destroying them.
“An Igbo man says he’s fighting for Biafra, yet he turns around and kills his own people. So who exactly is he fighting for?” Edochie questioned.
He went further to emphasize that only cowards resort to such violence, while true leaders and warriors shield their people from harm.
“Only a coward kills his own to prove a point. A true man stands firm and protects his people at all costs,” he wrote, adding a strong Igbo saying, “Onye gbuo nwanne ya abụrọ odogwu”—which translates to One who kills his brother is not a great man.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
