we are not in support of violence. our groups should have presented it in the form of a challenge to prove their love for beerfraud and not threat but that does not mean that we are afraid of fighting when the need arises. you need to see what they are saying in other threads. that they will come to our land and kill us.

malton:
I am dismayed by the decision of the various youth interest groups in Northern Nigeria to order all Igbos out of the region.

Not only is the conclusion callous and uncalled for, but it could be a precursor to war. Moreover, the attempt to impose their silly ruling on all the 19 states comprising northern Nigeria is laughable. Some nonentities cannot seat in Kaduna and exert upon an entire zone the full impact of their negative influence for such purposes as they see fit and by such measures, as they deem fit, whatever it may have been induced by.

Having come from a state that is seven years out of one of Nigeria's most violent sectarian crises, I must admit that we have seen too much war to want some of that ever again.

Furthermore, we have shared too much in the Igbo man's quest for self-reliance, independence, equality of opportunity, justice, charity and co-operation on top of their vision of economic abundance inspired by their ever-imposing productivity, technical skills, and commitment, to stand by as some youths whose mental state of health we are not sure of, make an attempt on their lives or properties. We say no to bloodshed on our lands.

A lot of Igbo youths have represented Plateau State at various times in our storied history and have done this so well. We have lived peacefully for years and have no reason whatsoever to demand change. More so, we are smart enough to know not to punish Eze in Jos for the 'sins' of Ikechukwu in Aba. Their words and actions are unrelated and everyone should be treated as they deserve.

In Plateau, we believe in equality for all, regardless of tribal differences. Consequent upon this, the life of an Igbo man is no less than that of a Ngas, Taroh, Berom, Mwaghavwul, Mushere, Irigwe, Afizere, or Jarawa person. To this end, no blood-thirsty individual should even seek to visit carnage upon our lands. All we want is peace and security of all lives and properties.

We may be situated in the north, but we do not subscribe to your barbaric tendencies or share your hateful views, especially not towards those who have brought nothing but growth and progress to our dear state. The Igbo people are peace-loving citizens of Jos and its environs. Any attempt to cause harm to any of them will see the offenders leave first, one way or another. No Citizen of Plateau State origin will want harm done to any southerner resident in the state.

Our lands are not slaughterhouses.

I believe I speak the minds of most middle-beltan youths on this subject, especially those of our brothers and sisters in Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, Taraba, Southern Bauchi, Southern Kaduna, and Kwara.

To us all, the "Kaduna Declaration" catchphrase is nothing more than a myth, a fantasy, and a delusion. Keep that shiit out of our lands!

All we want is development.

Since when do paid northern bigot talk for the middle belt?
Their craze isnt our concern. No Dick or Harry ll even be referring to the middle belt. Its clear cut. North, middle belt- twoo different things. As at now, no extremist owns a piece of lland in jos. So, nothing concine us

Where is Lalasticlala sef

Shelloween:
Punishing Eze in Jos for the 'sins' of Ikechukwu in Aba, or punishing Wale in Bornu for the sins of Gbenga in Lagos, or punishing Adamu in Enugu for the sins of Musa in Sokoto, has always been the cause of the majority of ethnic conflicts in Nigeria.

What is or has ever been the sin of Ikechukwu in Aba ?

You have said it all Op. My Mum is from Benue and I am Igbo and I can categorically tell you that an average Idoma or Tiv man prefers to have an Igbo neighbour to an Hausa or Fulani neighbour. The both are also Christians. I was in Jos during the 2008 religious riots and I saw the way the indigenous people and some of my brothers joined to fight a common enemy. The threat can only work in core northern states made up of Muslims and not middle belt. In fact, It can not even work in Nassarawa and Taraba states.

malton:


It's better to name names than wield blades.

The labelling of Plateau people as "onye hausa" by some of them has not killed any Plateau man and can be excused as of ignorance.

The killing of Plateau people by your lands grabbing kinsmen, however, cannot be excused for any reason.

And for the record, you, Hausa/Fulani, will leave first before even a spoon owned by an Igbo person departs this state.

Nonsense!

please speak up for your people.. tell the world you have nothing in common with Hausa/Fulani, they used you guys onces, don't let them use you again.

Middle belt is not Hausa land.

they should leave igbo alone. any igbo shouldnt invest much in Hausa land, we get much land down south for them to invest.

I used to count all the Hausa people as the same even when my twin brother who had lived in Plateau State from eight years tried to convince me that Plateau people are different to attitudinal conducts of other Hausas, but today I surrender to believe and also to love any Plateau man as a brother. Thanks man. Peace and Love.

leave Middle belt alone, parasites.. They said they ain't part of you. which thing you don't understand there?

am glad they finally woke up.. between igbo and Hausa they know who the real enemy is.

Thanks for those kind words, bro. They mean a lot coming from you.

The Plateau man is friend to all. Our relationship with the Igbo man is long term and we'll not let anyone destroy all that.

Actually, our people are not Hausa. We have our own tribes. The Hausa they speak is just conversational.

We have nothing in common with Hausa people besides that a good number of our people understand and speak their language. From religious beliefs to mode of dressing, culture and everything between.

God bless you!

My point exactly, bro.

They have become pests to us all just as much as they are to the south.

Nobody sells them lands in Jos anymore because they have long been found out.

Our people are wiser now.

Their threats can only work in the core northern states like you pointed out. Even there, they won't achieve much success.

People are tired of the incessant fightings and want peace.

Those youths are just some nincompoops who know nothing about the north they claim to speak for. States like Gombe will never descend to chaos.

Taraba is safe o, 90% of them are Christians. It's the Hausa man's knack for living around market squares and popular places that makes people think they are much in such locations.

They share the Plateau man's dislike for those blood suckers.

APCsupporter:
op you are an Ibo man. I realized that immediately when you started praising the ibos that have been insulting all the other tribes in Nigeria

Do you really think the Middle Belt has any problems with the Igbos, when their main concern are with the Hausa who disturb their land or Fulani herdsman who destroy their crops and villages?

EzeUche:

how many tribes are in the middle belt and how many of them have told you that they prefer the igbos to Hausas? you people just make huge assumptions from just a little problem. the fight of a few North Central people against Fulani does not mean that we are enemies. how many middle belt states are dominated Christians self?

You think this is anything to do with religion?

It's about common sense.

The only commonality between the Hausa/Fulani Muslim and the middle belt one is religious. That alone is not enough to get the affinities you seek.

Our Muslim brothers do not consent to your killing and destructive perspectives of Islam. Indigenous middle beltan Muslims do not acquiesce with violence because dem go school and their papa dem raise them well.

Don't even talk about religion when you consider them inferior to you, authors of Islam. And why's that? Because they are tolerant and dress differently.

Come to think of it, why wud I let a hausa/fulani stay in my house and sent my brothers away the Ibos? I am with u my brother keep plateau state out of their demonic plans enof of all this nonsense from blood sucking animals. We better go with our Christian brothers the Ibos it's better to be marginalize by them that the hausas, we are not northerners we are the middle belt.

@Malton. Kudos. This is very apt. I rep MB and i agree with you 100%. The people of MB may have fought against Biafra during the civil war, but now, things have changed. The injustice we have experienced, and still experiencing, in the hands of 'foreign' terrorists known as herdsmen have changed the game completely. Our eyes don clear.

shut up man. who is even begging the middle belt? what I am saying is that the middle belt is full of different tribes that one person cannot speak for everyone. if the katafawas are happy with you it does not mean that gwaris share the same opinion with you. the fact that you said we see them as inferior shows that all that you are saying is based on hatred , the same character with that of ipob . please can you also tell me the version of Islam you are talking about? you attribute anything bad to Islam but when we start talking about cannibalism in your region you begin to talk about bad eggs. the middle belt is generally OK with the north east and north west and they are northerners. a few clashes doesn't mean that we are on bad terms. concentrate on building a good relationship with the ijaws first before coming to create disunity here

I get torn between ignoring and responding to people who speak with as much ignorance as you do. However, you sound reasonable, and I believe that you are a sensible person.

You brought the religious angle, and I responded to that.

Can you name one tribe from the middle belt on whose toes your people have not stepped?

Do the Fulani Murderers tell a Gwari person from a Tiv man whenever they go on rampage?

From Southern Kaduna through Plateau and Benue, have we not all shed the same tears? We have all fallen victims to your people one way or another.

When you are that person, everybody has to hate you, and justifiably so. What have you done to earn the love of any middle beltan?

I give it to you people for acting strategically for so long. But hey, even the best legs get weary; give it up - you've been found out.

We are peace loving people, sure, but you see, there's only so much that one can swallow and tolerate.

They seem to not know that things change so fast.

They should pray not to force our hands.

No sensible person will choose war over peace, North over the SE.

We may not always agree, but I'd rather engage in war of words than battle of swords.

At least the Igbos value human life because they know its worth.

when did you respond to the religious angle? as for the Fulanis, I asked you to tell me how many of them are fighting you. if we are to go by your logic, the entire north hates the people of borno because Boko Haram came from their state. and you claim to be reasonable? so far I have not experienced any form of hatred from southern Kaduna people. one of my girl friends is from there . maybe your tribe hates us but in general terms we are still friendly.

WTF!

You obviously don't know the drill.

I'm being economical with information for security reasons.

But man, give them a choice and see which they'd pick. And when it comes down to it, they'll force that choice. Pray a day never come that you find out the truth.

And to be honest, your analogy doesn't quite follow.
Killing people in your backyard will cause them to leave, but killing people in their backyard is an act of war. Get the difference.

To clear the air, I know better than to hate every fulani man over the wrongs of a few. I do not and will never rope them together like that.

But when the time comes to decide, I shan't tie my destiny to known killers.
