        For your information it's not farmers and herders clash. With the look of things it seems Fulani herdsmen have been appointed to cleanse some ethnic groups

        Sounds more like ethnic cleansing and genocide to me.

        Please these are not herdsmen-farmer clashes. There is no clash. This is a premeditated attack on one people by another

        You media are contradicting the news, not farmers and herdsmen crashed. Ethnic cleansing is going on in British contraption called Nigeria and is hard to report

        BBC is adamant and will continue calling these murderous incidents a clash.... They know the truth but opted to be politically correct instead..shameful and disrespectful to the dead, the maimed and the injured....
