In other words, you have no concrete solution.

Joskid I don't condone the fulani's actions and I definitely believe in self-defence BUT
The Berom are not exactly saints either...We've all seen the videos of the Berom killing and the roasting to EAT some unfortunate fulani.

The problem is...
WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE?

At what point can both parties be satisfied that Ti.t was exactly sufficient for Tat and no more?

If both parties continue to tow the line of violence, then the number casualties would be enormous on both sides.
So much so perhaps, that any possible victories would be seen as Pyrrhic in nature.

If you are one of those that subscribe to splitting the country, be reminded that while the security forces in Jos have been rightly lambasted for their gross inefficiencies, It is these same forces that have prevented the fracas from degenerating into an all out war.

What then is the solution?

A tiny country like Britain at one point ruled more than half the world's population partially through military might AND
mainly through DIPLOMACY and NEGOTIATION

If there is to be lasting peace in the region, eventually both parties must sit down to hammer out a deal.




Ok let me explain why I was vague. No true Berom person would want to give away control of his rightful ancestral land...nor share it with any other Nigerian ethnic group as their ancestral lands as well. Every ethnic group has their own origins. Since I have grown up in Jos I have heard a lot of nonsense. For a long time, there was this image of the Berom person as being too simple and accommodating to the point of foolishness. And this view even from other Christian ethnic groups as well. Unlike MOST other ethnic groups who have ruled Plateau, the Beroms are the least corrupt, and even with Jang as Governor he has the solid infra structures to show for all the money he gets. Now, I have personally seen how many think that because the Beroms have been so accommodating, they should simply vacate their lands and allow others take it. And this mistake came even from the colonial days when the British took over lands for mining based on a 99 year lease...and settler mining towns like Jos and the others that slowly spread were as a result of that...no true compensation were given by the British and it is assumed after the 99 year lease, the land revolves back to its true owners.

Plateau State as en entity belongs to the indigenous people who have lived there even before the British arrived. If other ethnic groups want to peacefully settle...sure, they are welcome to. But there are rules to be heeded to. However, if in some foolish bravado some ethnic groups think that they have the backing of powerful ex-generals and even the apparatus of the Federal Government to insult indigenous and trample on state laws....then such are not welcomed in Plateau State. It is that simple.

With regards to the videos of people eating human flesh...are you really sure about their ethnic identities being Berom? Do you also realize that the place the unfortunate incident happened was in an area where there were many other ethnic groups--both indigenous and settler as well?

I'm talkng about the principle here! How did our society grow to be very corrupt, very myopic, and very I'm-happy-it's-not-happening-to-me?
If you're not jaundiced in your view, your question would have gone something like: what can we do sto stop the marauding Fulanis to stop? Instead, the question has been what the Berom victims could do?
Vacate their land by force, disappear, jump into the ocean?

And so evicting them from the lands they've lived in for years is the solution?

or the Beroms should buy Rambo guns and start hunting fulani?

1st have you thought of what a dangerous precedent the government is/would be setting by evicting the Fulanis?
This would mean that any indigenous community could eject resident Nigerians from different tribes simply because THEY DON'T GET ALONG.
Now you are an Ibo man. Many Ibos have significant business intrests in Lagos. Your Logic will allow indigenous Lagosians to kick all ibo out because they steal all the business/speak a different language/are just not yoruba.

This is the pervading mentality in most Nigerians we need to change.
We may not all like each other, but we are stuck with each other, so we have to start thinking as a Nation not a group of tribes.
Only then can we progress.

youngies: There is a fresh tension in some recently attacked villages in Plateau State after the Special Task Force (STF), charged with maintaining peace in Plateau, gave inhabitants of some crisis-prone villages 48 hours to vacate their communities.

In a statement, STF spokesman, Salisu Mustapha, said that a "military operation" is going on in the affected areas located in Barkin-Ladi and Riyom Local Governments.

"The inhabitants of the affected areas are to vacate immediately with their property," the statement stated.

The affected villages include - Mahanga, Kakuruk, Maseh and Shong 2.

The statement did not say where the inhabitants of the villages should head to, and whether they would be resettled.

A resident of one of the villages said it was unfair and uncharitable for the STF to order them out of their ancestral villages without providing alternatives.

"We know no other home," he said. "Where do they want us to go? Why must they treat us as if we are foreigners in our own country."

The villager indicated that he and his kinsmen might disregard the STF's order "since we have no were to go".

The STF however, advised residents of neighbouring settlements such as KuraFalls, Kuzuk, Sharuk, Rim of Gashish Districts not to panic.

"Residents of such areas should just be very careful of their movement within the area and avoid places of military operation until further notice," the STF said.

The task force also advised people to report any suspicious movement or activities in their areas.

The military operation may have resulted from the incessant attacks by gunmen on some communities in the areas.

My brother, look I am not here to advocate violence, but the fact and my personal conviction remains that if I must die at the hands of an unjust enemy, i would rather do so standing, rather than kneeling, begging, or even in a prison, only to be executed later.

Now, it's IGBO not Ibo, unless you simply meant to mispronounce it as many people do with disrespect.
The example with Igbos in Lagos is not a good one, because i have never heard of Igbos leaving in Kano or Lagos for the past 200 years claiming "ancestral" rights and privilages as these Fulanis do in Jos.
You well know that both Zik and Ojukwu were born in northern Nigeria, just like many other Igbos whose great-great grand father travelled and settled peacefully in whatever sabon gari they could find without claiming ownership.

The above situation didn't apply to Fulanis, because they have a superiority complex. They have ancestral homes in Jos? Soon they will show you their ancestral homes in Markurdi, Enugu, PG, and Calabar!
Spare us the talk about where they will go, this is Nigeria, we're all corrupt, tribalistic, lazy, ineffective, and everybody has a "hometown" where your great--great grand father comes from. We're not like the US yet where birth in a particular state, or one habitation entitles one to "ancestral" privilages.

The displaced Fulanis, though angry, and naturally disappointed will always find their way home, their home. Just like the Igbos.
As the northerners massacred their Igbo neighbours, some of whom have lived amonsgt them for 2-3 generations, many of these Igbos returned east to nothing, no house, no job, and no realization of what's going on.

So, please don't asked me where the Fulanis will go.

Here is an OPEN secret: Most so-called Nigerians are more patriotic to their city or state of origins than to this increasingly senseless
entity called Nigeria. And there is NOTHING wrong with that! I grew up all my life in Jos and has always been proud of it. And even within Plateau
we see people also PROUD of the villages they came from. Even if they have a house in Jos, they are always in contact with their ancestral homes. And this
is why there isn't much inter-ethnic problems within the ethnic groups in Plateau. Why? Because everyone respected the other person's "SPACE".

However, this is not so with the Hausa Fulanis. If you claim you have a proud heritage why don't you also proudly develop your own states or wherever you come from? Why use the name Nigeria as a code word for justifying senseless aggression against minorities and other groups not aligned with your thinking? I am beginning to suspect that the reason why some ethnic groups use the Nigerian card to justify certain lawless actions is because they have much more to lose if the entity Nigeria ceases to exist. (think all the "oil" goodies). The beauty of Christianity is that it allows the natives in Plateau to maintain a sensible natural population that can be self-sustaining with or without oil--simply reflecting economic realities. I know many in their mid 30s who are not married but thinking about a better future for any kids they would have. But show me a Hausa Fulani man in his mid 30s I would show you a man who is almost now a grandfather of many children because his teenage daughter is now pregnant. How do you expect people with vastlu different mindsets as far as the sun is from Pluto to share the same State or even share the same country?

Now, did the BBC ask these people eating human flesh to actually SPEAK Berom? Did the youths actually say they were Berom?

Wrong, not as you think, unless you're thinking with a mentality of superiority.
The christians in the north are not treated equally, some people are not allowed into certain places because of their tribe or even religion. Plateau first of all belongs to the indigenes, natives, or original owners. Berom people like any group that owns major Nigerian cities have always been deridded and made fun of, but it's their land. In Enugu, they make fun of the Nike/Ngwo people people for being so foolish as to seel all their lands, in PH, the Ikwerre people bear the brunt of the jokes, Ibadan, Calabar, and even Lagos the same.
I don't see myself getting out of Sabon gari Kano, and crossing Kofar mata into the main Kano city to claim that "Kano belongs to all Nigerians" If you can't do it in Kano, why should Fulanis like you hold that opinion in Jos

The ancestral right claiming and violent natures of the fulani are only the REASONS the Berom do not get on with the Fulani.

It does not change the fact that a precedent is being/has been set where an Indigenous Nigerians community can eject non-indigenous Nigerians from the community because they do not get along. Anybody can supply a REASON for enmity.

Spare us the talk about where they will go, this is Nigeria, we're all corrupt, tribalistic, lazy, ineffective, and everybody has a "hometown" where your great--great grand father comes from.

Where are you from? The day you allow ten thousand Fulanis settle in your village and continually tolerate it when they kill your families and blame you
at the same time using Federal soldiers to coax their egos...that is when I can begin to listen to you.


Further to that...there is also a reason why Gowon created BENUE-PLATEAU STATE to strengthen Middle Belt solidarity...and the Beroms have always seen themselves in the context of a larger Christian Middle Belt Republic and not an Arewa Muslim state where non-Muslims are second class or even fourth class citizens!

Even on this N/L, you'll notice some extreme measures and ideas from both sides of this issue, because it takes two to tango.

We keep hearing of this mythical "cow stealing" excuse all the time to justify murder and land-theft. I am sure they will say the Senator who died along with the other state House of Reps member stole Fulani cows as well...and that is why they died. Lame excuse as ever.

And so that you know...there are Berom people who also keep cows to which Fulanis have raided, killed and stolen their cows as well. There is a Federal School of Animal Husbandry (I think) in Vom and the same Fulanis raided the place, killed the guard and one Igbo family there and carted away with the school's cows. They attacked with the same hallmarks they have used elsewhere speaking the same Fula language with themselves.

We know your tricks. And the best you can do is to kill more Beroms for sending you away? This is not the 12th century with no radios, tvs and internet...this is the year of OUR LORD 2012 AD and we have the world open 24/7 to see what is happening anywhere.

I believe the STF must have reviewed intelligence information the had collated over time and decided that the most tactical action to take is to create a position from which to they can actually assume control of the crisis. Probably, insurgents have often diappeared when pursued into these areas suggesting that they may have a cover around the area.
These soldiers are human beigns too and therefore will die if shot at. No information is ever often given of dead soldier in this crisis areas yet they suffer loses too. If in their best judgement these communities need to move then so be it. Let us not forget that moving in a hurry under the watchful eyes of the soldiers will mean arms and ammunitions will be difficult to carry.
Let the soldiers be supported to do their job.

What relationship connects the Igbos to Lagos state and other states in Nigeria in the first place? what would you say if soldiers say Igbos should vacate Lagos and other states within 48hrs? especially the igbos that were born and grew up there?
Dont u ever compare light and darknes. Igbos are for peace and development wiaever they go and not voilence. Beside if a tin like shuld come up, they all ve home in igbo land. Lol
Can you show me any documents stating that Fulanis were never living in Plateau in the first place?
