Thankio FALANA, you are human right lawyer innately.

[@TeePee-gt8bz]

Kasim Afegbua shouldn't be taken seriously. Dude speaks from both sides of his mouth. He keeps contradicting himself and I'm glad Maupe made mention of it.

[@scribemanjustice2028]

He is political and a deliberate liar.

[@nwekeasaadolphus6597]

Falana and Abayomi made fantastic contributions.The only odd person there is Kassim Afegbua.He sounded so hypocritical.

[@jonahigbokwe394]

No news media has been able to tell Nigerians what actually happened. The military tried to mediate between the two communities then angers flayed. What did they say that made the youths to turn against the military ?

[@OpOp-uh3hn]

In that peaceful meeting the military killed almost 30 people

[@princewillemmanuel1715]

Thank you so much no body is talking about that

[@eliasimokhai]

Falana is advocating that all lives should matter in Nigeria and that collective punishment should not be meted. And I think he is correct. If you have a contrary opinion, please let us know in the comment rather than insulting someone who has been at the forefront of one Nigeria and justice for the poor

[@okeyekeh936]

Pls forget fulani. He's part of the worst state of Nigeria today. Yoruba has destroyed Nigeria. The tribalism against Jonathan is what the country is enjoying today. The military we have today are fully of bokoharam and oil thieves in the military, and they are also busy killing innocent people

[@okeyekeh936]

Nigeria has no security, and the little around are used by politicians for rigging elections

[@sundayobiano7517]

Oga, we are not one. Only corrupt looters are saying we are one in Nigeria.

[@taiwoolaniyi6343]

Afegbua has to defend someone, always. It used to be a Babangida, now it is a Tinubu. So, I don't pay heed to people like him. It is wrong for Tinubu to have implicitly ordered for a reprisal attack. He didn't order direct attack on the said community, but he didn't try to prevent it before it happened. The killing of the patriotic soldiers must be condemned, in strongest terms, but so is the erasing of a whole community.

[@deicyprain8039]

Nobody is above the law and when some people are seen to be above the law people become law themselves.

[@tonysabastine]

Oga, we can never be one until there is equity and justice in Nigeria.

[@Ikeperiod]

Afegbua is the architect of all he is blaming others for. He speaks and listen to himself and the opposite at same time.

[@alfalfred8722]

People who reason like the guy called Kasim should not be given the platform when important national issues are being discussed. He’s immature, narrow minded and always talks divisively. He’s poorly political over everything.

[@apostlekofipaul3258]

You’re wrong my brother! Afegbua is an intellectual and has always spoken well to national issues. Pls stop your hate for the present government, Nigeria cannot move forward with all this negativity about the government❤

[@annmaxwell6728]

When i listened to Tinubu ordering soldiers to fish out the killers of the soldiers instead of police. I sensed that he is indirectly telling the soldiers to go after the community.

[@abdulahsubair3286]

I disagree. Realistically and practically, would you let the police go after criminals who mutilated army leaders and soldiers(16 of them) including reinforcements that came. No one was spared. I think it’s another suicide mission to let the police we all know are incapable to handle this. Boko haram fighters are not military but armed civilians like these, you don’t disagree with the president’s many orders to go after them including the recents in Kaduna, Borno etc. The caution for the army is to avoid collateral damage.

[@okerethaddaeus3730]

...so you wanted us to explain it to you in your mother's tongue 😝

[@urhobotv3010]

He is pandering to them so that they don't overthrow his Government

[@HonisaacIlukhor-zk2sz]

Mr Falana and Dr Abayomi really are very human rights activists that both objectively spoke on National coherence on Communal issues. To Chief Afegbua, most unfortunate he spoke totally out of point as far as communual conflicts are concerned. Nigeria can rise unconditionally if rights are done at the right time.

[@sigolwidearemo8575]

There is no love and justice in nation. 😢😢😢

Abayomi, where has this erudite barrister been? It has been long I saw him on television. I enjoy his rational analysis of public affairs. Kudos, sir!

[@Agbasi4748]

My heart goes out to the soldiers who lost their lives but I just want to know what transpired between the soldiers and the attackers. I mean,shouldn’t there be an investigation and perpetrators brought to book rather than erasing the whole village.

[@jamesado8224]

Thank you Falana for bringing sanity into the debate. The debate on Arise futuring Dumebi Kachikwu was devoid of commonsense.

[@ndubuezeamaku8401]

Afegbua is looking for positions in this government. He is always economical with the truth.

[@OziomaObi-tc8ng]

What exactly was the intercommunal dispute about? How far have they gone gone in local dispute resolution before the soldiers? Who even invited the military to the dispute? What did the soldiers do that infuriated the youth?

[@josephedose2342]

Where was the second party in the dispute if the army were going to be the mediator/peace maker

[@osmondanyanwu8306]

Yes; the second Community. If it is actualy a peace mission, the army should have united the two communities executives to their base in the presense of the police which is the normal practice. Remember that if you sow a wind, you Will reap a whirlwind. Why Will innoscent members of the Community be purnished for the sins of a few by raising the entire village? Sambissa and Birnin Gwari are still there n the north.

Something triggered this excessive reaction of the Okoama youths. What is it? We all have rights to self defense. So were the military men shooting civilians before the yourths responded? Were the soldiers compromised? Were youths from opponents in military uniforms and among the military? Who are the big men buying and funding?

[@agamahwilfred934]

It was quite unfortunate, to hear about such dastardly incidents perpetrated against very civil military men, who went there primarily, for peace making purposes. But, if the press can hear me, the actual name of the village where this incident occurred, is OKUBO-AMA; not "Okuama", please. "Okuama " is an adulterated version of the village's name.

[@oladeleajiroba2651]

I sympathise with relatives of all those that hv lost their lives. I Falana knows what is best for this country, he should stop all this criticism but join politics which enables him to prove his worth. He is not being sincere with the people of this country. He can never be compared with Dele Giwa or that famous human rights lawyer Gani Fawehinmi of blessed memory.

[@michaelbranson9351]

He's only asking for a measured and lawful response/ investigation. Don't be a purveyor of genocide son.

[@anuamagwai]

Everything Afegbua said is just nonsense. It’s hard to understand what theory or principles he is operating from. We are a democracy which has rule of law as our cornerstone. Where is the police, where is the judiciary? Why must Tinubu ignore the the police but prefer to use the military as against civil law. I overheard him talking about constitutional restructuring last time . But I am convinced Tinubu knows nothing about that subject!

[@rotimidavididowu37]

When we don’t have a system yet must we fold our hands then we use what we know for now to handle such things.

Oh! We could not even heard what the President said. Too much pressure on him but he has refused to give up. However Nigerians are going through uncountable pain from all spheres of life. Is it a curse to be a Nigerian, we are full of fears in all areas you look at it. May the Souls of Our Gallant Soldiers and innocent Nigerians Rest in Perfect Peace. Too bad and very unfortunate.

[@user-hi8ip9xg3l]

People are asking why army was sent and not police. If they were living during ODI time where 12 police OFFICERS were sent to Odi and the twelve of them modered. If that had once happened, would you expected another Government of the same country still send policemen on such Peace Mission? People were blaming Obasanjo. I think he should be praised for his method. When it freshly happened, Obasanjo did not say, get the criminals for me. He waited for a long time for the criminals to think Government had forgotten about the incident. It was then he told his soldiers to get the CRIMINALS for him dead of alive. He did not say go and destroy Odi. But even with his method, this criminals still got a wave of it and they all ran away leaving their own people to the problems. I did not read the judgement on the issue, and know who and who were indicted. Obásanjó shouldn't have been blame. For I want to ask, if Government was made to pay compensation to the Village, what happened to the criminals? I see the judgement to be one sided. 99b naira was paid to Odi, were all the criminals fished out and KILLED? Oh, what if these soldiers happens to be our relations? This is my question!

[@brezzyhub7951]

In all this no one is talking about the innocent people of the community who have eventually lost their livelihood as a result of the burning down of the community and how do you punishment those involved in the burning.

[@ancientwonders6854]

This Kazeem Afegbua Is síck.

[@dandreedwin4553]

Nigerian security agents, especially the Nigerian Army shouldn’t be sent to any community for any peace mission. Secondly, it’s also very wrong to be sending Hausa or Fulani led soldiers or police to head any missions to South East or South South! That’s not a peace mission but an invasion of the community. Even in the western world, law enforcement agencies try to use officers that can relate easily with a people when peace is intended! Nigeria is not one! We are ethnically diverse as there’s no such thing as Nigeria! At least not yet. If the army has a mission in south east, they should send majority Igbo officers led by an Igbo commander. Same as south south and the rest. Sending a Northern soldier to the former Biafran region is rather provocative than peaceful. Know this today and know peace!

[@anthonyenwere715]

What really prompted these non actors to attack these soldiers? Did the soldiers crossed red lines against these crim*nals as they may think? These guests and journalists are avoiding more informations on what really happened. These non actors should be fished out.

[@user-rh3nf8do6n]

Apc government and Nigeria military want a community in nija delta to treating other fighting freedom, the first was Obasanjo now tinubu, i blame leaders of our region for not standing up for their people

[@jimmykay9645]

This is what happened when your argument is driven by misinformation. Falana talked about reprisal, and his point was driven by the fake video circulating on reprisal. There was no reprisal, the video posted was old from Bayelsa state. Falana talks crap sometimes

[@raufuoseni2159]

If a community where this happened don’t support the act, their leaders should have gathered them, fish out the criminals and immediately hand them over to the authorities without prompting. Anything short of that is aiding and abetting for which Nigeria will declare a war against that section of the people. If the people have respect for the Nigerian people, they should have stood up to protect the soldiers from harm in the community. They should have some of their people sacrificed their lives to protect the soldiers in their community. A case study is how Adekunle Fajuyi paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect the Yoruba people when the Head of State was to be killed in our land.

[@jonahigbokwe394]

It's very difficult to hand pick these guys out as it is in cases of disruption of peace and order. Besides, the main culprit must have fled

[@ancientwonders6854]

So what are the soldiers still doing ìn the north all these years'? The Northern elders forum should have handled the Boko-haram members to the Nigerian Army?

[@segineseju464]

Are you even sensible? Why are the Northern Elders not fishing out the bandits and kidnappers in the North?

[@raufuoseni2159]

Your narrative is a false equivalency. The Bandits don’t live in any community, don’t fight for any community and are not being protected by any community. They live in the bushes/ forests and attack the communities. That is why there are no community leaders are responsible for them.

[@hazastonetalkshow]

No blood is less or more important Please let us know what happened that the soldiers went for a peace talk. A land that has been peaceful before now There is something fishing. The killings of the soldiers need to be investigated by the police by the provision of the law and the Governor of the state should give us reports on a day to day. This matter weak me shall😢

[@AbdulsalamOwolabi-oc2sp]

Mr Falana we disagree with you on this matter, even if police got the killers of our dear soldiers should got apprehended and arraigned will there not be some corrupt lawyers coming to defend them which in similar & such cases wil end in a way that those culprits will end up serving a limited period of jail terms & set free in the end.🥺😢

[@maryconnor7257]

Mr Afegbua’s manner of speaking is disappointing. Very unfortunate that this is the thinking of a lawmaker.. we have a long way to go as a nation

[@josephedose2342]

I pray the Lord comfort the families of the deceased & grant rest to the departed. When peace meetings are taking place both representatives of the waring factoons are supposed to be present & the meeting should preferably take place in a neutral ground like the meeting btw USA and Afgan Taliban brokered by Qatar. Alot of things don't seems to add up.

[@emekaalozie6292]

It’s unfortunate that Nigeria is lost. NO CHAIN OF COMMAND IN ALL FACETS OR BREECHES OF COMMAND IN THE COUNTRY. All over the world, military forces are last option. Where are police reports, MOPOL reports,community’s reports before involving the military. Where in a sane country that they have been without bloodshed? In Nigeria the military is the first line responders and last line offenders. Every life line in Nigeria is military forces by land, sea, air ,AI and Herders. How can we know the uncompromising truth in situations like this. What were the military doing there and who sent them, other than the enemies of the opposing side(s). Did you know or find the perpetrators? Never. Therefore collateral damage as a result. Operation No Mercy, after all who will intervene other than what we present and the so-called press gagged.

[@cryptofxalgorithms]

I don't really believe it is true that military intervention is required in certain cases involving civil matters. Civil matters can be handled by the Police and DSS alone even if it means going back to the drawing board, go back and get more intel or get more equipped and backed up and work objectively and intelligently with the community leaders. We should stop involving the Military in purely civil matters as there is always the tendency it degenerates or escalates to even more violence. They are not trained for civil negotiations , dialogue etc they are trained to fight.
