Instead of them to theme up against herd men they are there fighting each other. There's a need for serious prayers on that land bcos of the innocent blood shed by the herds men things might be going wrongly. Yes it's not herdsmen attack but the blood shed on ground could cry for vengeance. Awon Spiritual things
ReplyDeleteOh no my Tiv brethren why not keep a united front especially at a time like this when the devil has determined to exterminate your tribe. Remember a house divided against itself cannot stand.
