Nigerians Demand Referendum Amid Rising Herdsmen Violence

Nigerians Demand Referendum Amid Rising Herdsmen Violence

A growing chorus of Nigerians is calling for a national referendum after repeated attacks by herdsmen. They argue that continued violence and security failures have left communities vulnerable and distrustful of the federal system. Proponents say secession or regional autonomy offers a path to greater safety and freedom. The debate highlights deep frustration and raises questions about Nigeria’s unity and future governance.
