I acknowledge the President’s recent directive supporting the establishment of ranches for herders as a means to reduce conflict and senseless killings across the country. This is a sensible step, one that should have been implemented long ago, We have actively clamoured and

We must use every avenue to remind those in power that every Nigerian life matters and the government's recklesness in securing lives and property is unacceptable.
Here’s what I’m suggesting- every citizen contacts their reps & senators with coordinated emails, phone calls and WhatsApp messages with the following - *Dear Hon/Sen, as your constituent, i am urging you to call for a PUBLIC hearing to address the strategy to defeat terrorism,
