Oxalic:
I'm OK. Just overwhelmed by the sad happenings. We have to do something to stop the madness of the killers invading the Middle Belt.

It's quite disheartening, bro.

Things are spiralling our of control indeed.

Pity we do not have the kind of leaders that will back a pro middle belt move at this point.

I lost hope in this current crop of leathers the day Lalong vehemently opposed the anti-grazing bill proposed by Plateau youths. The idiot cited that his reason for doing so was because the proposed bill had elements of criminality.

Very useless man.

Guess we need to change those APC goons, if we must make any progress. They are all scared of their oga at the top.

Oxalic:
Long time. Thought you are no longer active on this forum. How about your handle? Are you still using it?

It's been a while, bro.

I do check in sometimes but not very often. I haven't been using it either o, my brother.

Bet life's been good at your own end?

With this man at the helm of affairs, I reckon the golden age of the Nigerian presidency is about to come.

He's everything Nigerians desire in a president.

gragraboy:
if you were the nnpc director, whom would you invest in that would be of more valuable to NNPC? Engineer or Psychologist?

God bless your wisdom.

ANOWEDGREAT:
I think he is trying to preserve his office by way of pleasing the fulani presidency this is exactly what the south east govnors are currently doing.

If this were the case, then I can't help but feel even more sorry for him. No government machinery can keep him against the will of the people, regardless of how much they try.

The man messed up big time.

shallysgirl:
At least you didn't deny the truth and the errors of the past. Mark my words, if all plateau indigenes will acknowledge truth and error like you just did, God will deliver your land.
May God give us leaders with principles, love of God and their people not just politicians.

I hope everything turns out for good. Nigerians, regardless of tribal or ethnic divide have all suffered.

Thanks, ma.

CioAngels:
For stupidity, money, and position.

As in, that's well put. The situation is quite embarrassing, tbh.

laudate:
Na true word you talk!

Thank you, my oga.

That man matter just tire pesin.

Ai quite agree wit u based on d bastard level
Rumors ve it dat he aint an indigene of P state..asin he b bako......dat aside!!
GNS wuld ve taken diz state 2 d next level,if dey hadn't snuffed life outta d gentle man
Lalong so far,have neglected his fellow xtians,all he prides his self on is paying salaries which is very laughable
Nxt year he is gonna organize LGC and councillorship election,going by his body lang he intends 2 give jos north chairmanship 2 a muslim,nao tell mi diz man is sane upstairs
LGC election was d main reason we had crisis 2008 whc unfortunately was vert bloody....cnt fiz dumbass gov jes use his num6 and kwantinue wit d current arrangement of appointments? ??
Its quite appaling dat my darling state is being overrun by blood thirsty satanic herdsmen, while awa supposedly chief security officer in d state is aiding and abeting em.....

Bros eh, you know the koko. I learnt he even built a mansion in Taraba.

He, just like that useless Dalung, feel the need to identify with muslims more than their fellow indigenes and Christians. While I have no problem with that, I don't like they do it at the expense of their own people.

About the Jos north LGC ish, I feel the same way. I have learnt to have no expectations, whatsoever, of Lalong. That's how low he has set the bar. Na to watch am. Shey e go soon comot? E go red for am very soon.

Nice write up bruv,ao ai wish evry Northerner wee ve diz ur mentality,personally am more plateau than Igbo,na diz state mama born me na hia ai grow and na hia ai feel comfortable 2 call home....lalong don destroy diz state jes unda 2yrx....ai remember all d crisis we wey join hand beef diz nighurs...buh lalong forgot evrytin and he is nao wining and dining wit em enemies
Buh issokay sha ai pray plateau arise and vote d bako bck 2 Taraba wia he originated from.....

Thanks, bro. You're welcome to call it home, anytime. The Igbos have brought peace and progress to our land. And I would rather have someone make them feel more important than these known killers and rapists. I'm sure our people will realize in due time, that those people up north mean them no good at all.

Lalong is a disgrace so much that I cringe at the mention of his name. He's a mistake that might end up costing us so much. As in, looks like the man from Taraba is on a mission to destroy Plateau. Fortunately, Taraba people won't condone his nonsense either.

TheKingIsHere:
@malton is this true?

See my reply to him below:

malton:
What's this one saying?!

I hope you know that the emir of Wase is originally from Bauchi? Were it not for colonial manipulations, you won't be saying this rubbish!

Wase is an emirate and the biggest LGA in Plateau State, yes, but the rest of what he said is gibberish! I'm from Kanam LGA, which is the other emirate in Plateau State (there are just those two).

To help you understand, here's a little intro:

The highest number of indigenous Plateau Muslims are concentrated in these two LGAs (My local government is about 50% Muslims, 30% Christians, and 20 percent pagans/traditionalists. Wase should be about 60/40, ignoring pagans). My LGA shares boundaries with Bauchi and Wase.

Heart of the matter:

During the the colonial times, the Colonialists coopted some parts of the middlebelt into the Bauchi emirate, most of whom later resisted the tag. Those two local governments, however, did not. This was because they had a significant number of indigenous people who were voluntarily converting to Islam. The Jukun people in Wase, then predominantly Muslims, didn't see anything wrong with the tag, while the Bogghom people had got into contact with the Bauchi people, and so felt the need to remain as an emirate.

While the emir of Kanam is traditionally a Bogghom person, the emir of Wase was appointed by the Bauchi emirate, and hence, a Bauchi man. They considered the locals not religious enough, as there were still many pagans amongst them at the time. Plus, they had a liberal mindset.

More than 2/3rd of Wase was a wasteland at the time, so the Bauchi emirate moved some of their people and settled them there with the help of the colonial masters. That was how Bauchi people got to Wase.

Its vast land area and proximity to Wukari, Taraba State, makes Wase a magnet of the nomadic Fulanis. Today, there are many fulanis herding their cattle there. But to suggest that the emir is Fulani or there are indigenous Fulanis in Wase is too much of a stretch. Besides, the emir rules over the imported muslims only, while the other tribes have their own rulers. In spite of its almost 2,000 square km of land, Wase does not have up to 50,000 people. Don't believe the almost 200k figures you see online. Of this population, the imported muslims and nomadic Fulanis won't make up to 30%. It's all politics and religion.

Meanwhile, the Bogghom people are already negotiating the sack of the emir and want to replace him with Pangkwal Bogghom. Meaning only Wase will be left as an emirate. However, this useless Lalong isn't cooperating. Funny enough, the people at the forefront of the campaign are Muslims. . Guess the almost equal mix of Christians/Muslims in most families has been helpful in shaping up their psyche.

Sorry for the long 'tory; felt I needed to burst his lies with facts.

African salad (aka abacha)

monex:
It is trivial I agree. However, it is wrong for a state government site to list a migrant tribe as indigenous. This is how revisionism starts. A fulani can be from Plateau and can even contest as governor but he cannot be said to be indigenous. My friend who spent his life in Plateau explained that there is no indigenous fulani tribe or village in Plateau.

Just imagine how we will feel if Ambode lists the Igbo tribe as an indigenous tribe in Lagos? Migrant tribe is different from Indigenous.

Thank you, bros. You got the picture.

maj007:
There is nothing wrong in the listing.

Fulani is one of the major languages / ethnic groups in Plateau State.

The largest local govt (in terms of land mass) has a Fulani ruling dynasty. In fact, the King is one of the First Class Kings in the State and Nigeria at large. The people of the local govt are predominantly Fulani and Jukun.

So Nairalanders should always get their facts straight before making condemnation.

What's this one saying?!

I hope you know that the emir of Wase is originally from Bauchi? Were it not for colonial manipulations, you won't be saying this rubbish!

Bros, this governor is a bastard!

I am ashamed to even refer to him as that. Very useless man! He's a mistake of a person.

nwaanambra1:
is that a serious note of regret in your voice? is the indigenous people of plateau state now regretting joining the jihadist hausa-fulanis to kill the Igbos?

Anyways sha! if una dey include fulani as a major tribe in plateau, you guys should not forget to include the Igbos too - after all, its on record the Igbos make up 27% population of plateau state.

Bros, I feel no regrets at all. I didn't do or fail to do anything personally. However, I admit that I wish our forefathers never allowed that nonsense to happen in the first place. Who in their right senses would side the actual enemy against a perceived one? They were all made to believe that the Igbo man was the enemy, ironically, by the enemy. It's a shame.

At the emboldened, I'd rather that 100 times over. I've always considered the Igbo people on the Plateau family. They contribute to its growth and development. They are nothing like those blood sucker, Lalong brothers.

Shey he will soon do and be going. Na to delist dem sharp sharp. Thank God say na just typing.

Jiang:
says who, them dey plenty for bauchi state, besides the ones in plateau are almost half the number of the ones located in Bauchi. or have you forgotten how your Christian brothers slaughtered their whole village full of pregnant women & children. which is the main reason the fulanis can't forgive ur murderous assess. well, what ever, keep deceiving urself, ur eye go soon clear

Is there anywhere in Nigeria where you won't find a fulani settlement? Does that make them indigenous tribes in those states as well? Truth is, Fulani are indigenous to places like Adamawa and Gombe only. Even there, they are immigrants.

HAH:
If this people say Hausa- Fulani cannot claim plateau why are the oldest parts of jos their capital all belonging to Hausa's

Okay, here's why:

When the white men made to enter Plateau during the pre-colonial times, the locals resisted them. Then came the colonial days, and the beginning of tin mining activities. In an effort to get back at the locals, the oyibo men "imported" workers from Bauchi and provided them lands to build, sidelining the locals.

People from different parts of the country began to take notice of this and trooped into Jos in droves. Of these people, the Hausas and Igbos were the majority. The locals were mainly settled in villages at the time. Jos north was the commercial nerve center of the town then. So it attracted the most population of people. Unfortunately, with the mass emigration of Igbos before and during the civil war, the Hausas bought houses from departing Igbos at giveaway prices. They capitalised on that to build the population that you speak of.

Also, it is for this same reason that they did everything necessary to get Hausa into the church. When the missionaries came, they wanted to use Ngas, one of the major Plateau indigenous languages, but the colonial masters resisted their attempts, forcing them to adopt Hausa instead.

Unfortunately, we have people like Lalong who is too dumb to help reverse all these. Asides Jang, all other Plateau leaders have been too lilly livered to tackle the issues head-on.

gerald09:
it's sad, the kinda things our youth see as a problem, really blows my mind!!

You think some idiot listing a renowned terrorist group whose roots you do not even know as one of your own isn't a problem?

FrancisDiote:
If truly they are a major ethnic tribe in Plateau state, why then do they kill their own people.

Why would you let your cattle feed on your brother farmland knowing what it takes to cultivate.

This fulani people are not humans, they are the real terrorists

Bros, there's not even a single Fulani tribe on the Plateau. Not even in neighbouring states up north let alone Plateau. They are mostly covetous marauders, and nothing more!

The governor is just a serving traitor and collaborator who has betrayed his own people for only God knows what!

aolawale025:
This is a cruel joke on the plateau people

One that deserves to be punished, bro.

bonechamberlain:
smh for lalung, I thought Ortom was senseless until he signed the anti grazing law. now its lalung listing the killing land grabbing Fulani terrorist as majority tribe.

As in eh. Lalong is the most useless, senseless governor that Plateau State has ever had.

The idiot just handed the opposition the one single campaigning point to defeat him with come 2019.

I hope he can survive the onslaught that is to come.

It's obvious that Lalong underwent a rapprochement with the Hausa-Fulani community. And that required him to put the Plateau people down.

The man has been nothing but a sellout since he assumed leadership. A good-for-nothing nonentity that is a personification of the 'bad and nocent." First he appointed a Hausa-Fulani as commissioner, and now this.

He's been subtly aiding the Fulani attacks on Plateau indigenes with his foot-dragging. I can deal with his corruption, including building a multimillion naira home in Taraba. But this is taking it too far.

He'd go down as one of the most infamous betrayers in my dear state. Can't believe my people overlooked the smart, educated, eloquent, and highly dynamic GNS Pwajok for this pestiferous gobshite that doesn't little as inspire hate. I feel sorry for the clueless thing! It's no wonder he's the most reviled "thing" on the plateau today!

Seun, Lalasticlala, Mynd44. Abeg morning don do.

Jang, we miss you.

In the midst of petition on banning of open grazing and incessant attacks by Fulani herdsmen across Plateau state, concerned youth across the state have registered their anger and disappointment once again after screenshots of a publication of the latest Plateau State tourism booklet surfaces and is making rounds on social media listing Fulani as a major ethnic group in both Mikang and Qua’an Pan LGAs of the state.

The concerned youths cutting across the 17 LGAs of the state belonging to various youth and cultural groups are planning on a joint protest demanding answers on why Fulani was listed as a major ethnic group on profile pages of Mikang and Qua’an Pan LGAs.

Speaking on the phone with our reporter, member of the group, Nuhu Dadoet said, “We want answers, the government should show us the ancestral homes of the Fulani in Mikang and Qua’an Pan that’s all”.

Another member also refer us to the government’s official website listing Kanuri as a tribe in Plateau state.

With Benue and Taraba states banning open grazing to curb Farmer/Herdsmen clashes and Alago in Awe LGA of Nasarawa State raising alarm and resisting Gov Almakura’s plan of accommodating 10 million cows in their locality, Plateau youths are alarmed at the silence of its government over the issue of resolving Herdsmen/Fulani clashes through making a stand on the issue of open grazing

Lalasticlala, Seun, Mynd44.

With 21 appointments, Ogun took the lead in the list of all the persons President Muhammadu Buhari appointed since he assumed office on May 29, 2015.

Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, released the list of 159 appointees on Saturday night.

Guyman02:
IBB is a major stakeholder in the company.
I prefer people like IBB, Atiku, Tinubu, Peter Obi etc in leadership positions who have shown their boardroom prowess and invested in businesses that has created employment for thousands of Nigerians despite the fact that we see them as 'corrupt' than a Buhari who only had very few miserable looking cows, no added academic qualification, no foundation setup, no book written when he came into power and is now watching over massive looting in many govt agencies like NNPC etc while claiming to be fighting against corruption.

My man. God bless you for this!

Buhari is the kind of man that leaves humanity worse off than he met it.

QuotaSystem:
I remember stating two years ago that Ibos would be at the forefront of the campaign for the next Hausa Fulani President in 2019

Think I did see the comment you're alluding to.

MegaBEntz:
Watch out for Mega Blast Entertainment newly signed artist Song Smith

This one that can't little as be creative with his nickname, what more creativity could he possibly have in him?! Could be another noisemaker in the making.

I wish him well, though.

doctokwus:
Didnt see where it was so mentioned,if so however,why can't he show any little pretence to being a president of a country and not of the North?

It doesn't have to be mentioned. I know the man on a personal level. No be dem say.

This is about the first appointment in a very long while that I applauded PMB for.

ChykeBivins:
An excellent giver, A content man and so many other attributes..I have been very critical of Buharis government, but with this appointment, I can say for certainty that this is the 1st non thief that has been appointed in this government..Congratulations Uncle Boss Mustapha

Thank you, bros. You should have seen how I jumped upon seeing this news. This for me, is one of the best appointment Buhari has made since his assumption of office. Man is what you said he is.

doctokwus:
Now its not only a Northern presidency,but a Muslim,Northern presidency.
