Those people who burnt your house were not Boko Haram, they were Fulani militias Not every militia group is Boko Haram Most of the groups attacking the Middle Belt are of Fulani origin, Boko Haram consists of mostly Kanuris I lived in Plateau during this period and witnessed this first hand and can attest to the truth in this Militias mostly of Fulani origin came into the city on September 7, 2001 and went house to house burning and pillaging. What initially begun as disagreements over political appointment, saw an influx of Fulani fighters into streets of Jos North I saw these militias with my eyes as they wore partial military regalia Some would wear the military trouser and just an ordinary shirt, while others would wear the military top but just a normal trouser That was my first time seeing non state actors on the rampage They targeted native houses in Jos North which had a considerable settler population in a bid to drive the natives out of the local government Lots of University of Jos staff who used to live in a predominant settlement of Angwan Rogo (along Bauchi Road) were murdered while a few others were lucky to have fled Those people went on a rampage for almost 2weeks without adequate security intervention. Dead bodies littered the streets. A state of emergency was declared in Plateau for 6 months while the Governor was sacked replaced with a military administrator (Chris Ali) by the Obasanjo administration. The Obasanjo government also desolved the Plateau state legislature at the time due to those events It was an unforgettable experience because September 11 happened a few days after which is a historic event Why we knew it was tactical to displace the natives was that, there were no attacks on governmental residential areas that housed Southerners and other natives The target was displacement of natives who owned private houses and lands It was so bad that what initially begun in Jos North soon spread to other local governments where there were settlers The worst happened in Wase, Shendam and Lantang I have posted numerous times about the proliferation of arms in the lower plateau during the period by these Fulani militias What was initially ethnic between the natives of Plateau and the Hausa and Fulani settlers turned religious as these settlers demanded that the native Muslims choose a side and used religion to blackmail native Muslims (by asking them to prove that their new faith is more important than their old tribal loyalties)

That these attacks are targeted and perpetrated by Fulani Islamists is in no contention. As I’ve maintained always, the Nigerian government must allow the victims to exercise the natural and right of self-preservation.
Despite ongoing terror attacks, Nigerian Christians in Plateau State continue to worship in public. Each of them widowed — having lost everything to radical Islamist terrorists — these persecuted believers declared during a solemn Sunday service, held under the threat of further attacks: "I will give thanks to God even when I have nothing left. I have life and health, and that is enough." A profound declaration of faith and courage in the midst of grief and loss.

Many of the people insulting @ZariyiYusufu were in their beds, sleeping peacefully after the 2023 elections He was the one who led the march outside for LP. Infact two Middle Belt persons Dr Mo and Zariyi Yusuf. Today he’s being denigrated inhumanely. Most of those using burner accounts to insult him could not even come outside to fight for what they believed in after the 2023 elections Today you stay on your phones in your houses insulting the person who did that. Sometimes, when someone works hard for you and you part ways with them, appreciate them for the time they served with you and move on. You don’t have to agree with their choices. You can disagree and give your reasons and move on. What do insults online achieve? Also, majority of those insulting him moved to the ADC with Pantami, Malami, Elrufai and Atiku. They defended those criminals on this very platform yet they seem to be acting like saints There is no way that you can denigrate someone in this manner when your hands aren’t clean yourselves If anyone should castigate Zariyi Yusuf, it should be those of us who have never partnered with Elrufai, Pantami, Malami temporarily in the ADC There were people who fought against the alliance with Elrufai in the Obidient camp. Even they don’t have this vitriol against him as I’ve noticed It’s those whose hands aren’t clean who are getting the most upset We who were always on the side of truth and desperation did not allow us tow the side of ex APC members advice that there be caution here.

Zariyi moving to APC is something we all didn’t see coming and also don’t support, but this thing you just posted is your lies and propaganda. Zariyi was in NDC before the others moved from ADC to the party, I can remember it was during the El-Rufai vs PO coalition he announced his intentions to run for Kaduna state governorship under the NDC… I cannot see lies and keep quiet sha, stop it!
Looks like APC sent Zariyi to infiltrate NDC but their plans failed.

I had a detailed conversation with a native of Barkin Ladi yesterday about these attacks in the area The natives need to mobilize in coalition with the other Berom groups in Kuru, Gyel, Vom and Du These guys are not invincible, we can flush them out
Breaking: At least five Christians reported dead in another attack by Fulani terrorists, Saturday in Lajam, part of Marit village cluster, located in the Barkin Ladi LGA, Plateau State, hours after TruthNigeria issued an alert for the region 30-40miles southeast of Jos the state capital

Name calling because a person doesn't support your candidate is low, in a democracy you can't force your candidate down a persons throat, i remember in 2019 Apc won the gubernatorial seat in plateau but lost at the presidential election, i personally vote for a candidate i believe in, not a political party or that top to bottom thing even if we're in the same party, at the end of the day, politics is all about interest and how it's directly beneficial to your constituency.

The allegations against Senator Shehu Buba are too serious to ignore. @nassnigeria and @SenGodswill must order a transparent Senate inquiry. @PoliceNG must investigate the senator and all named associates, and act on the evidence, not on politics. Nigerians deserve facts, not silence. “Our National security is not a social-media debate.” - Gaza Kure

I've yet to see the same people who dragged Ndi weeks ago now dragging Alex Otti over his comments on supporting Tinubu or Obi. The double standards on this platform are ridiculous. Ndi never even mentioned supporting Tinubu, yet you people attacked, insulted her and invented agendas. Now that it’s your favourite, all I’m seeing is “it’s his choice.” Weldon o😂

This game of trying to paint both sides the victims will not work, and is dead on arrival. Many facts finding organisations have done their investigations and found out that most of the religious crisis in plateau state was started by Muslims settlers. Dead this narrative.
Growing up in Jos Plateau, I always experienced this. Because I stayed in a Muslim area, I always heard about attacks against the Muslim community with very little mention of the attacks on the Christian community, and the few times I did hear about it, it was always in context of 'the Christians attacked first.' But when I go to school, because most of my friends are Christians, I will hear them talking only about attacks on Christian communities, with very little mention of attacks on Muslims. It always confuses but I would hold that their side was lying and my side was telling the truth. But growing up, I realized that both sides are actually victims in their own story, and tracing back to who started it is almost impossible. And Because the Christian communities are more organized, with funding and international NGOs, we hear of 'Christians killed,' 'Christian genocide,' etc., as if the other side doesn't exist at all. Everyone is living in echo chambers, but the Christian plight is amplified while the Muslim plight goes under the carpet. So two things: Muslims need better mobilization and documentation so that their lives and suffering are properly counted and represented. second, people should understand this is not a Christian vs. Muslim issue but a carefully orchestrated plan by bad actors to incite perpetual crisis between them.

If we are even to discuss regions that have been shortchanged and ridden on the most in Nigeria, it is the Middle Belt and the Niger Delta 🤷

The person you are responding to, if u know the rooms he used to host around 2021/2022 and denigrate Middle Belt people He will say Fulani will keep killing us like flies lol He will say Ijaw keep shitting inside their dirty waters I wish I used to record those rooms. I know some people that may still have those recordings Like I said, if u check majority of the people criticizing Zariyi, they have one heavy fault or the other Sometimes you will want to see the point that the person criticizing Zariyi has, then you open the post and recognize that the person is a hateful bigot This one used to say how “he checked very well and there is a reason why Middle Belt people keep dying” He said he just knew it’s because of our attitude and behavior that’s why we keep dying That’s why I don’t add to those posts because they are just looking for outlets for their hate which predates these events
That the “us” is your comment “mock” the Middle Belt through her travails predates my resignation from the @NigeriaNDCHQ or decision to support any @OfficialAPCNg candidates. I can assure only few Middle Beltans on this app don’t know that.

Having many political parties in State elections in the MB is not a good thing in States like Adamawa and Nasarawa The indigenes need to collapse everything into one big opposition and challenge the settlers in the APC in 2027.

Farmer-herder crisis but na only farmers dey die. Clap for yourself
No part of Nigeria is experiencing ethnic cleansing. Most crises are driven by actors within the same regions: Boko Haram (Kanuri), banditry (Fulani, North West), IPOB/ESN in the East. Farmer-herder clashes involve tribes with a shared history in the same areas.

All the boys who worked with Lalong are now big boys in Jos, barking and insulting the current government because the money to loot is no longer flowing like before. 😂 You won’t see most of them under posts like this or in the comments section.
The Former Governor of Plateau State wanted us to supply vehicles and we delivered vehicles, but they wanted me to inflate invoices of vehicles of 40,000,000 Million to 80,000,000 Million. Have you heard that any Senator or House of Assembly came to buy vehicles from us? —Dr Cosmas Maduka
