GIVE MIDDLE BELT AUTONOMY NOW.*
*BY EMMA ZOPMAL, PRESIDENT, MIDDLE BELT YOUTH COUNCIL.*

Nigeria is a prison housing Middle Belters. For a long time, now we've been under the shadow of death. From Tafawa Balewa crisis in the 90's till date. From Kaduna crisis in the 90's till date. From former Gongola state till date. From Jos crisis till date. Benue on fire till date. Nassarawa state has been engulfed too. Are we really citizens of Nigeria and do we deserve all these? In 2010 when Gen. Abdulrahaman Danbazau was Chief of Army Staff during the late President Musa Yar'Adua, Dogo Nahawa pogrom in Plateau state took place where more than 200 lives were killed and homes and properties destroyed by Fulani herdsmen under his nose, he didn't step his leg there nor made an arrest, no inquiry was made by the military, no compensation or relief material or rehabilitation by Nigerian government. . A para[b]The rampaging Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen have devastated Middle Belt people and their communities in Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi, Southern Borno, Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, Nassarawa, Plateau, Niger, Kwara, Kogi and even Abuja, yet, we've not seen any action by Nigerian government to put an end to it either by arming our communities to defend or providing adequate security measuresmount ruler was gruesomely murdered in Bokkos Local Govt in Plateau state, President Buhari did not even send condolence message. Killings in Benue, Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Taraba and other Middle Belt communities have become a normal thing to government that it does not even care. I was not surprised when I saw the Minister of Interior, Gen Danbazau descending to Taraba with a heavy fact-finding team orchestrated by the Federal Government on the reprisal clash in Mambila Plateau, Sardauna Local Government. It calls to question why this special interest of the present Federal Government in that clash? The answer is just that Fulanis were affected. This has proven to the world that Nigerian government takes Fulani lives and their cattle to be more precious to it than human lives or the lives and properties of Middle Belters destroyed by these same Fulanis[/b]. It's obvious that Middle Belters are hated in Nigeria. Niger Delta are agitating because of resources marginalization, Biafra is agitating because of political marginalization, likewise the Yorubas. But we the Middle Belters are agitating because we're killed daily and we're facing extermination by Fulani herdsmen and our future survival is bleak. To this end, we've lost any sense of nationhood in Nigeria. It's now imperative that Middle Belters should move for autonomous state of Middle Belt in Nigeria. After all, Palestine is autonomous in Israel, the state o Kashmir in India is autonomous with its constitution because of their peculiar nature just like the Middle Belt region. The autonomy in Nigeria will help the Middle Belt people to plan their lives and defend themselves but yet remain in Nigeria; but in an event any part of Nigeria will secede, we will declare our Republic. For the sake of peace, unity of Nigeria and safety of our people, Middle Belt deserves an autonomy. I want to advise Middle Belt politicians to dissociate themselves from those who do not have us at heart. And our people should vote out any Middle Belt politician who romance with our enemies. This is the only way to go in this country. For Nigeria to grow and unite, every region must have a mutually independent status.
