On US sanctions against Nigeria, herdsmen’s violence

THE United States president, Donald Trump’s threat of a sanction against Nigeria and 127 other countries over their opposition to his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is a topical issue.

The US has promised sanctions against Nigeria, Somalia, and Yemen, but not South Sudan, which did not oppose the US decision on Jerusalem.

Nigeria should be careful in its international diplomacy so as not to lose the $639 million aid that the US gives to assist Nigerians that are facing famine. Why ask why?

In another development, the recent recorded deaths of 73 people in Benue State  as a result of the violent activities of the Miyetti Allah herdsmen is unpalatable. Thus, Governor Samuel Ortom ordered that henceforth, nobody should graze cattle in the state.

This was to checkmate future gory events. The National Assembly should not legalise illegality by creating grazing colonies for Fulani herdsmen across the country, because they are a security risk.

Many cases of death have been caused by them.
