The youths in plateau state came out today 13th June, to protest grazing reserves on the plateau. They came out as early as 7am to peacefully protest at the Old Plateau State Government House.

matthewteghaBlog correspondent Speaking to one of the protesters, Morgan Tok said grazing reserves are good but not for Plateau State as the state is better known for farming. So it will not favour the 'Plateau Man' rather it is a ploy for the herdsmen to benefit, stating that the government should consult and know that the plateau people are not in support of any ploy for land grabbing called grazing reserve.

The gathering was later addressed by Dr Giwa Gwomson as he brought before the press and general public the 3 basic talking points that makes the grazing reserve bill totally unacceptable. He further described grazing as a personal business and as such the government should not empower a particular group by forcefully taking another mans land and handing it over to another in the name of grazing reserve.
The protesters will do a 3day long stand, from 7am to 7pm until they are heard with the possibility of an extension if the plateau state government does not come up with a resolution. The protesters held various placards and banners with write ups to express their grievances and played emancipation songs. There was also heavy presence of security personel to ensure law and order at the protest ground.

biroms and their tribal bigotry, its better to use one brain and not emotions. the Fulani's and biroms have mingled for hundreds of years and even intermarried to a lesser degree, it will be foolhardy not to seek a peaceful solution
