@hillcrestfo @BashirAhmaad Organize and act or direct it, why are you waiting on others
English

@BashirAhmaad We have seen 'Gangs of Lagos' and 'The Herd'. We would like to see 'The Ipobs' and 'The Bandits'.
English

The reason why some Arewa people are angry about The Herd movie is not because we are denying the reality of banditry, far from it. It is about the dangerous consequences of profiling an entire ethnic group and region that has already suffered immensely from years of insecurity. I watched the teaser on @NetflixNaija, and even though I haven’t watched the full movie yet, the one clear problem that stands out is stereotyping.
In the teaser, Fulani herders are shown crossing the road with their cattle, while a newlywed couple inside a car and other travellers drive by, then suddenly the herdsmen pull out guns, start shooting indiscriminately and kidnap everyone. This single scene paints a picture that is actually facile as it is dangerously inaccurate.
The truth is this, it is true and verifiable that some of the bandits terrorizing innocent people and our communities are Fulani. We have consistently and openly acknowledged that, called them out, condemned their atrocities and demanded that authorities deal with them mercilessly. Yet the overwhelming majority of Fulani herders are innocent and also among the very victims that have suffered the most from these terrorists. Many have lost their cattle, their livelihoods and their families. So producing a movie to profile them all as armed kidnappers only reinforces a harmful stereotype that fuels suspicion, resentment and even violence against innocent people.
Film and media carry immense influence, they shape global perceptions and frame narratives, especially about communities that are poorly understood outside their regions. Instead of the producers of The Herd helping the world understand the complexity of Nigeria’s insecurity, the movie falls into the trap of blanket judgment. When such an international movie, portrays a one-dimensional story, millions of viewers around the world walk away believing that every Fulani herder is a terrorist and that is how stigma is created. That is how innocent people become targets of discrimination and harassment.
Before producing a film that touches on such a sensitive and complex national issue, the producers should have done intensive field work by engaging stakeholders, security experts, victims, researchers and even representatives of pastoralist groups to help them capture the full picture of the situation.
I believe @AliNuhu’s Nigerian Film Corporation should have given proper guidance to prevent such damaging portrayals.
In the end, all we are saying is simple, tell the story. Condemn the criminals. Call out the terrorists. But do not cast a shadow of suspicion over millions of innocent herders who have nothing to do with these atrocities.
Our country is dealing with a complex security challenge and the last thing we need is media content that deepens stereotypes and fuels more division.
The producers should have known better.

@abdullahayofel So you in question, how much did you pay as tax in 2024
English

Dangote companies paid over N450billion tax in 2024.
Otedola firms paid over N40billion ( verifiable one )
Abdulsamad companies paid over N50billion.
Emeka Offor.... Tony Elumelu,.... Moniepoint, OPay, Wale Adenuga among others pay taxes in tens of billions of Naira annually...
Without them Nigeria economy will collapse.
Everyday they give President Tinubu thumbs up for the adequate utilization of their tax....
But those who don't have more than N500 in all their bank accounts combined And stay online all day from celebrity giveaways Are the ones complaining of being overtax....
Those who are liability to Nigeria are the empty barrels online on tax reforms.
FG of Nigeria survives on the tax of Nigeria billionaires not peasants...
The reason the new tax law seeks to remove all the peasants in Nigeria from paying shishi as tax, So that the billionaires evading tax don't use them as anti tax crusaders....
Mr President should set up an agency to display the account statement of anyone complaining of being overtax to expose the liabilities Nigeria should Dis-Nationalize...
Those Empty barrels that deserved dis-nationization are the reason

@TheoAbuAgada Is this not a foolish statement, as if we don’t have eyes to see for ourselves
English

There’s nothing like pounded yam— it is called “Iyán”. You can’t give it an English name. Pizza is pizza everywhere. Taco is Taco everywhere.
If we go by “pounded yam”— this wasn’t pounded, can you still call it “pounded yam”?
NaijaFarmer@Nig_Farmer
So this is how they make pounded yam at Owanbes I usually wonder how they pound that plenty yam Necessity is the mother of invention Great stuff 😊

@Chizytelu Just leave them, I have concluded that Nigerians are generally not very good people always quick to side the oppressor.
If you check now the person is part of a union also in some form

Let's continue with this dangerous trend of siding with Billionaires against unions, it will come back to bite all of us soon. A strong union is what stands between us and slavery in the labour market.

@osazenoo Once i see “brand strategist “ these days, it’s beginning to have a particular meaning.
Because “ah my gov is doing well o see his projects” would have been enough …… but let me compare let us compare. If you want to compare, compare him with Benue state gov a fellow APC gov.
English

@osazenoo @EmereniniFrank1 @drezeeric_eze But you where the one that said you wanted to compare them, Abi the meaning of comparison has changed.
English

@EmereniniFrank1 @drezeeric_eze I cant post what I dont see na.
You people praising and hailing Otti should post it.
Thats the essence of the thread.

@abdullahayofel Don’t let anyone fool you, education is very important.

@HighChiefOkoro When you find yourself in a society where people happily cast aspersions on a person like Peter Obi, not because of something factual but because someone like this says so tells you the kind of society we have now, God help us.
English

@HighChiefOkoro It’s the people taking him serious that need to be checked, he himself knows he is not ok but you see these people here that take his statements seriously.

@Wizarab10 She was definitely the revelation of the tournament for Nigeria but Ajibade is the engine house of our entire team, so if the award went to either of them it would have still been great
