        These are not clashes, I repeat, they are not clashes! These are systemic tribal cleansing backed up by powers that be. Under Buhari, more Nigerians have been slaughtered in their homes than Boko Haram did in their peak period. This is genocide. @realDonaldTrump

        Your consistency in your ignorance on what is happening in Nigeria as regards to these attacks by terrorist is appalling and a shame. You continue to loose respect and validity and is best described as “fake news”

        Why do you always give bias report and misinformation to the world? You have now assigned yourself as the mouthpiece and propaganda machine of Buhari the Fulani President. Over 200 innocent villagers were massacred by Fulani Terrorists and you called it “communal clashes?”

        Is an ethic cleansing, endorsed by @MBuhari. No single arrest has been made since it started, but yet people who defended their selves against this Fulani terrorist were sentenced to death. @MBuhari is more interested in his re-election than the life of Nigerians

        The Buhari led government has failed the masses. We are witnessing the same state of insecurity as witnessed under Jonathan led government. So painful the aged and exhausted president does not want to go home to rest. That's Africans for us.

        Further express the incompetence and non challant attitude of the president in taking side with his killer "brothers" and cow businessmen

        Please state clearly, no tangible arrest and conviction has been made on the larger side of Christian casualties in years. Gross injustice

        Pls add, no security chief has resigned, or better still been relieved in these years of barbaric killings, not clashes. It's frustrating

        Seems @cnn and @bbc love terrorists a lot it's getting too obvious. How dare you call this a clash? Who's clashing with who? Something is seriously going on. Is Buhari paying @bbc to support a Jihad?

        There is a genocide taking place here and not a communal clash.
