First of all I will like to say am a northerner from Taraba and am proud of where i come from. And I stand to be corrected. But with a heavy heart this morning, I begin this small piece, hope you understand & get the intent behind this write-up. Come along.
Most of the crisis in Northern Nigeria are 85% religious crisis or religious related, because we have been blinded, brainwashed and separated along religious line by our parents, leaders and even spiritual leaders. “If you want to see how religious a man is, just come to the North” Blood brothers kill themselves just because of religion, something you weren't born with we all came & met it here on earth. Don't forget that you been a Christian, had it been you were born into a Muslim family you would have still be a Muslim & vice versa. Check the Yoruba’s out, they are known by their tribe and not by their religion but a northerner is identified only by his religion, for example: A Muslim Yoruba man can marry a Christian lady & allow his children go to church comfortably without having a second thought and the family will go smoothly, and even vice versa but such things can happen in the north. Why? We value our religion even more than our blood & culture We are unnecessarily been too religious to an extend we think we are fighting for God not knowing we are foolishly doing our will. We fear been dominated and ruled by the other religion Our orientation from the basis is faulty, because some parent from a very early stage have already sown a evil seed into their kids by making them see anyone who isn’t from the same faith with them as an enemy. This evil quest of religion dominance and supremacy has ignited a calamitous beginning and if not properly handled, it will lead to a very catastrophic end, there are places you go in the north and you can’t be proud of your religion just because you are scared of been killed or even butchered all because of religion fanaticism. Our spiritual leaders know the truth but are blinded by the quest for dominance and supremacy and fear of been inferior to the other religion. Peace is a paramount thing and it’s a bed rock in which any meaningful development is built upon; It’s not a thing of surprise that we have the highest number of undeveloped states and towns compared to other region, our peace is often been tempered with by our quest for religion dominance and supremacy. Even the few development may end up been destroyed if this evil quest continues. My fellow northerners for how long shall we continue to Vote people who aren’t active and capable just because we are from the same faith? See people from other religion as our enemy? Seek dominance over other people’s religion? Plant evil against other religion? Propagate false rumor with no basis just to make our religion looks better and unique with the aim of luring others? Kill ourselves all in the name of religion? So what is the way out of this bondage in the disguise of religion? What good has religion fanaticism done to us? WATCH OUT FOR PART TWO: ‘RELIGION AND THE QUEST FOR POWER IN THE NORTH’
NOTE: Religion is different from God/ALLAH, because you can be very religious or be a religious fanatic and yet you are not even serving God/Allah, so who is deceiving who?

I came across a post yesterday which was all over
the major sites & blogs nationwide & other news
paper claiming about the 'Eruption of a certain
crisis in Kurmi LG of Taraba State' because of Bar.
Paul Galumje appointment & confirmation
recently. I was indeed surprise seeing such,
which is indeed a blunder.
Firstly I will like to debunk the fact that, there was
no account of any crisis in kurmi LGA beause of
the appointment as claimed by media reports, or
even any form of crisis at all within the said Local
Government & the state atlarge. I will however on
a sad note suggest to the appropriate authorities
of the media especially the social media to go
extra mile by confirming & validating such News
& reports before posting it to the general public
for consumption. As it is worthy of spoiling the
reputation of good & well known people in the
society, and can cause
choas to the existing peace
That Taraba is in.
There were some issues raised by individuals or
groups as stated by media websites that I will like
to clear and draw our attention to;
Firstly am not speaking on this issue as a
stranger, No! Am a bonnified indigiene Of kurmi
LG (Area where the judge comes from). And am
not a politician but because this is diretly to my
home town, there's a need to talk, educate,
inform and tell the truth!
Based on Galumje's records from every reliable
source & indications, it shows that Justice. Paul
Galumje has served faithfully in the judiciary of
Taraba State and has done a job well done, and
has been appauded for his interegrity, well
behaviors, good moral conduct and ethics, not as
it was earlier speculated in reports yesterday
nationwide. The peace of Kurmi LG has come to
stay and can be tempered with, beause of the
selfish interest of some few individuals who
sponsored fake reports just to jupadise &
sabotage the effort of Bar. Galumje & the state
atlarge.
A CLARION CALL TO THE PEOPLE OF KURMI
It will be shame and of great reproach, that the
decision of few selfish individuals and groups
almost gained ground in splitting us along
political & tribal lines.
Its surprising that a son of the soil is been
reognised
nationally by the President, & some few
individuals who actually did nothing worth talking
about for Kurmi, calling it off?.
While others are looking for what we have,
individualism wants to make us loose ourselves
let's be wise & wisen up the more.
The kinship power tussle in kurmi is not in
anyway influenced by Galumje, hence John Tobi
(Former Chairman) and his co, has selfish
interest. People of such caliber aren't supose to
be in a better position to talk. If there quest
against Paul Galumje is just, fair & not out of
hatred & selfish interest. Then notable & trust
worthy stake holders in Kurmi like Illiya
Wanapiya, Mrs Lydia Wanapia, Hon. Simon
Dogari will have join such quest.

The northern chapter of the Christian Association of
Nigeria, CAN, has asked Christians to defend
themselves whenever they came under attack,
following the killing of eight Christians in Talata-
Mafara in Zamfara State and pastor of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, Luka Ubangari, by
suspected Fulani herdsmen in Unguwan Anjo in
Kaduna State.
Secretary to Northern CAN, Rev. Danladi Yerima,
confirmed yesterday that his group had scheduled an
emergency meeting for tomorrow (today) to look at
the state of the nation, especially as it affects the
Church in Nigeria, with a view to finding solutions to
them.
Appealing to the youth wing of the association, who
are unhappy with the current developments across
the nation, Rev. Yerima told the Federal Government
and stakeholders in the Nigerian project to expedite
action to arrest the growing trend of militancy in the
North to avoid more devastating consequences.
Yerima said: “Nobody has monopoly of violence. We
have been holding our youths from retaliating some
of these unwarranted killing of Christians in different
parts of the country. We are not happy and I think
this should be the last of such incidents because let
them not take for granted the peaceful manner that
Christians had approached some of these
developments.”
“I cannot allow myself to be killed or allow some
other person to be killed because some hooligans
see themselves to be more Nigerians than others.
“What happened in Zamfara is most unfortunate. I do
not know when our brothers in the North would
realize that life is created by God and it is sacrosanct
to the effect that nobody is allowed to take the life of
another person unless in accordance with a judicial
pronouncement on account of an offence
committed.”

As they made their way through deep forest in the
Sambisa, a group of gallant soldiers, led by their
commander suddenly became apprehensive as a
result of a familiar sound of a ‘crying baby’.
Their commander beckoned on them to remain
silent in order to ascertain the direction of the
sound. After a lengthy pause, it was discovered that
the ‘crying baby’ was a stone throw from where they
are.
As they pushed through thick forest in order to reach
where the sound is emanating from, a naked,
crawling baby was seen heading towards an
underground opening (Pit). Silently, the gallant
troops, stalked the baby until the kid reached the pit
and dived inside.
Once again, the commander beckoned on his
soldiers to remain calm and still. The baby suddenly
stopped crying and was out of sight. The entire
forest became quite, not even the familiar sounds of
birds on tree tops.
When it dawned on the soldiers that the ‘crawling
baby’ may not come out of the hole, they
maneuvered professionally to the pit and peeped
inside.
The entire team of soldiers could not control the
tears rolling down their cheeks after discovering
what was concealed in the pit. Seated in the pit,
was a body of a decomposing woman. From her
waist down was totally decomposed. From her
her waist to her neck was still fresh. The head is
already rotten. The baby was seen sucking from
the dead woman’s breast.
To God be the glory! A portion of her body was
reserved and still fresh to feed the baby. A miracle
indeed! Our omnipotent and omnipresent God
displayed His presence in Sambisa.
To our gallant troops, who risked their lives to make
us live, who go without adequate food nor sleep for
days, we say a big thank you. Your rewards, most
certainly, is in heaven. May you come out victorious
against the devils, who are nothing but contractors
serving their more despicable masters.
To the atheist who do not believe in God, this will
surely make you think twice.

One of the leaders of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Taraba state, Abdulmumini Vaki,
has praised the government of Darius Dickson
Ishaku for maintaining peace in the state,
considering the volatile security situation of the
state before the coming of the administration.
In an
exclusive
interview
held in his
home in
Jalingo, Vaki
stated that, “
there were
issues of
insecurity
especially in Wukari and Takum, but since the
government took over, there has been peace, not
as before”.
The one time Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic
Party, ( PDP) in the state, however advised the
government to focus on physical and human
development in order to improve the socio-
economic condition of Tarabans, as maintaining
peace alone was not enough.
“Democracy is government for the people and so if
government comes in, it is suppose to reach out to
the people at the grassroots… When you look at
the state, there is frustration, there is poverty. I
would so much wish this government look at that
and reach out to the people. When you look
around in the state capital, there is nothing the
government has done that would attract people
from the grassroots to the capital”, he stated.
The veteran politician also commended the
President’s fight against insecurity and corruption,
saying he is optimistic that since the budget has
been passed, Nigerians, especially Tarabans would
feel the impact of the administration.
“The budget has been passed, and especially in
Taraba state, we are hoping he is going to look into
the Mambilla Dam issue. Personally,I visited him
and he promised it is going to be done. He is
preparing the ground now because you can’t build
a house without preparing”.
He also advised Governor Darius to endeavour to
conduct elections at the Local Governments to
consolidate democracy at the grassroots, saying it
was unconstitutional to operate the Local
Governments with caretaker Committees.
On the recent altercation between the Minister of
Women Affairs, Senator Aisha Alhassan and
Governor Darius , Vaki said, “Darius is our
governor,give support to him because it is God
that put him there. Now is not time for politics,it is
time for governance. If the governor constructs
road today,everybody would pass through the
road,it doesn’t matter your party… there were
elections that my boys contested that I know they
would lose,but I still let them to go and contest.
There is no enmity in politics. Politics is a game of
interest”.
He however, blamed the Federal Government for
the crises over relief materials between the Taraba
government and Senator Aisha, saying the FG
should have informed the governor directly. “If the
federal government wants the things to get to the
people, it should have called the governor himself.
I don’t know why it did that through another
person and it has brought controversy”.
The politician however, added that the state
government should have gone ahead and allowed
the materials to be given out.
“ If the Federal Government has anything for the
IDPs, it should give it out directly in order to avoid
controversy. When you look at it,the things are in
the store now,it has not reached the common
man. The controversy is due to miscommunication
or the lack of it”

Three suspected kidnappers were killed in an
exchange of fire with a vigilante group at lallami
village in Bali local government area of Taraba state
Sunday night.
The suspected kidnappers, according to people from
the area, invaded the village in an attempt to abduct
a businessman, Alhaji Yahaya Lallami.
Daily Trust gathered that an alarm raised from the
house of the businessman attracted the vigilante
members who were on patrol in the village.
A witness, Mallam Musa Lallami told Daily Trust on
telephone that the abductors numbering about 10
came to the village midnight and went straight to the
house of the businessman.
He further revealed that the abductors, while trying
to force their way into the house, attracted the
attention of neighbours who raised alarm.
The witness said immediately the abductors who
were well armed saw the members of the vigilante
approaching the house, they opened fire.
Mallam Musa said it was during the exchange of fire
between the kidnappers and the vigilante that three
of the abductors were killed while the others fled.

No man is too big enough to finance your vision,
don't beg people to finance your vision, it is abuse of
Vision.
All you need to do, is to communicate vision, just
keep communicating it, those who are destiny
helpers would recognize your vision when they see
you.
Never be a slave to any body because you want him
to finance your vision, if it is truly a vision, then the
Vision Giver is bound to provide for his vision. The
vision is His and not yours.
As a man with vision, destiny helpers come in
phases. As you work and walk in vision, you
encounter them on the road.
You may have a vision of going to America to fulfill
destiny, and the burden is genuine and real, but you
don't have money.
God would not drop 10 Million Naira for you at a go,
most times the money come in phase.
He may tell you to go to Ibadan, even money from
Lagos to Ibadan you don't have. But somehow, you
enter Ibadan you encounter a fellow who can help
you to get US Visa. At this point the money to go to
Embassy you do not have.
To cut the long story short, you would just find
yourself in US fulfilling destiny.
True vision can never be financed by any man if he is
not empowered or motivated to do so.
True vision is financed as you embark on it.
Most people who marry today or win elections would
tell you that when they embarked on it initially, there
was no money.
Make conscious efforts to be moving towards your
vision no matter what... Your provision is on the
route of vision.
But learn this, no man is bound to help you forever
except God. All destiny helpers are for a specific
assignment and time.
Learn to let a man go when his time is up. Don't
struggle to look for helpers, just live out the vision,
helpers are bound to come.
Never fall for the trap of keeping helpers by all
means, it is frustrating to keep a helper whose phase
has passed.
Why keeping a man that gave you lift to airport, when
your next phase is to enter the plane and move on.
Never struggle to keep a man because of his help. Be
appreciative of their help, but never be a slave to it.
Rise up and run, your helpers are waiting for you.

hibee4uall:
OP I pity your sense of reasoning. You want trafic in your blog yet you can't balance your information. Who will follow you to a perishable path. You better do your research well next time before ranting like fool

Stop been childish and foolish and dnt need ppl like. You in my blog self

Reports this morning indicated that all is not well
with Wukari town in Taraba State. Whatever would be
the remote causes, I am not interested but my
passion is the lives of innocent people who will be
affected by this crisis.
It's time we speak out against these senseless
manipulation of politics to destroy lives and
properties of people we are supposed to protect.
There is no justification for all these and we must in
one voice rise against it.
Therefore, I am calling on the Taraba State
government to take immediate steps to protect lives
of Nigerians living in the area. Also, all prominent
sons and daughters of the state, Federal legislators,
Traditional rulers and religious leaders should lean
their voices to end this ugly human carnage.
Let's us together stand against all these artificial
conflict situations created to promote division
amongst common people. What is happening is
condemnable by all standards as there is nothing
precious like human lives. I must state that one of the
reasons for poverty in Plateau, Taraba, Nasarawa
and Benue States has been the spate of blood letting.
God is not happy with us and we must turn a new
leaf.
Details coming shortly

The sordid judgments of most governorship election
petitions against the pdp is akin to judiciary
terrorism.A jihad cannot be discounted from this
sordid judgements of the election petitions in Taraba
and Benue state.The Karatu judgement in Benue
against Tarzor on same grounds with the celebrated
Taraba APC backed tribunal lacks credibility by all
electoral indices.
There is an incredible nexus between both petitions
and prayers of the petitioners; non conducts of party
primaries ,non qualifications of candidates and
voiding of the elections.But Justice Karatu gave a
lawn tennis court judgement against Tarzar in Benue
while the Taraba panel gave a jihadist judgement.
There is no dispute that APC never conducted party
primaries in Benue as there were admissible
empirical evidences but rather Karatu became
emotive in her judgment because of alleged
extraneous influences.Evidences tendered by Tarzor
suggests his opponents has no business in
participating in the election in the first place .
Another curious twist in the Benue case is the cross
appeal by the respondents because the weight of
evidence prevented Karatu from giving a wholesale
judgement in favour of ApC. We hope the appellate
court will be responsive and redeem the credibility of
the judiciary.
The Benue judgement cut no ice in informed
judiciary circles.It was a tactical judgement......

..................*ELECTORAL ACT*....................
Section140 Sub Section 2 (140:2) Where an election
tribunal or court nullifies an election on the ground
that the person who obtained the highest votes at the
election was not qualified to contest the election or
that the election was marred by substantial
irregularities or non-compliance with the provisions
of this Act the election tribunal or court SHALL NOT
DECLARE THE PERSON WITH THE SECOND HIGHEST
VOTES or any other person as elected but shall order

The question is, the verdict made at the "tribunal" is
it an edict or constitutional verdict?
Am not bargaining, nor asking for favor but
demanding constitutionalism not jungle justice. If
things will continue this way, the future will be
black ball. The majority have made their choice which
is Gov. Darius Dickson Ishaku, our rights, our votes,
our choice is all we need.
The Governor however expresses disappointment on
the tribunal say "the tribunal shifted from the main
case to something internal"
However the've Headed for appeal....

The Peoples Democratic Party , PDP, has said
Saturday’s judgment of the Taraba State
gubernatorial election tribunal in favour of the All
Progressives Congress , APC, candidate, Aisha
Alhassan, was another evidence of executive
interference in the judiciary.
The party said the reason given by the tribunal for
arriving at the “bizarre” decision is intriguing and
further exposes the contradictions and double
standards inherent in most tribunal rulings against
PDP interests recently.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said in
a statement on Saturday that the “Taraba state
tribunal ruling again brings to the fore the organized
plan by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC
Federal Government to deploy all unorthodox means
to decimate the opposition”.
“It is rather curious and a great conflict of irony that
the Taraba tribunal sitting in Abuja on security
grounds faulted the conduct of PDP primaries shifted
to the same Abuja on security reasons”, the party
stressed.
The PDP said if the tribunal was faulting the party’s
primaries as basis for its decision, it then means that
no APC gubernatorial candidate can stand the test, as
their party never had acceptable primaries in any of
their states.
The PDP said it had earlier alerted the nation and the
international community of the grand design by the
APC to use the judiciary to wrestle some PDP states,
particularly Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Taraba states.
“Evidence that Taraba ruling was a product of
presidency manipulation can be deduced from the
fact that few hours before the judgment was
delivered, the APC had arrogantly announced their
victory on the new media”, it said.
PDP said it was totally confounded by the “brazen
show of power by the executive and warned that the
development clearly portends grave danger to our
democracy and indeed national cohesion and
development”.
The party called on its members across the country,
especially in Taraba state, to remain undaunted as
the appellate courts will restore its well-deserved
victory.

Popular Hausa musician, Dan
Maraya Jos died on Saturday in
Jos, Plateau State.
Born in 1946, the Jos based
international musician died at
the age of 70.
Members of his family reported
that the veteran traditional
musician passed on at a private
hospital in Jos. He was said to
have been sick before the 2015
general elections.
Though the famous musician
had no biological child of his
own, he was said to have
brought up some adopted
children.
His Zololo residence on Bauchi
road,Jos witnessed an upsurge
of sympathizers who called to
condole with the relations.
His original name is Adamu
Wayya but he was known
worldwide as ‘Dan Maraya Jos’
One of his closest friend in Jos,
Alhaji Musa Satti said, Dan Maraya
is a Nigerian Hausa Griot best
known for playing the kontigi.
The late musician was named
Dan Maraya Jos, meaning “The
Little Orphan of Jos”, because he
lost his father shortly after his
birth and his mother died while
he was still an infant.
“He inherited singing from his
father who was a court musician
for the Emir of Bukur, who took
Dan Maraya under his care when
his parents died. Dan Maraya
showed an early interest in
music and came under the
influence of local professional
musicians. During a trip to
Maiduguri while he was still a
pre-teen, he was impressed by
musicians there and made a
kuntigi, with which he has
accompanied his music ever
since.
“Dan Maraya has used his song
to promote peace and unity in
Plateau, Nigeria and the world
over. He was a peace maker”,
Satti said.

There is time for everything, and
before that, you must not
overwhelm her by saying ‘I Love
You’. Here are 8 reasons why
should never say those three
words too soon.

1. It Kills The Excitement:
The best parts of a relationship
are the early beginnings where
there is a certain amount of
uncertainty in the minds of both
partners. Going weak on your
knees just looking at her, getting
goose pimples every time she
touches you, spending nights
talking to each other over the
phone – all this, once lost may
never come back. By saying ‘I
Love You’, you put a full stop to
this
excitement.
2. Your Obsession Is On Display:
It makes you look like a
possessive, obsessive, desperate
fool who wants nothing but a
girlfriend in life. If you plan to
spend your future with her, she
has to be impressed by your
personality! Don’t make yourself
look like an insecure guy greedy
for love.
3. You Fail To See The Reality:
There’s a difference between
infatuation and love – and it is
only time that can make it clear.
By confessing your so-called love
for her, you force your mind to
believe that you actually love her.
Your feelings may die down with
a few more dates, but you would
be forcing yourself too hard to
believe that she is really the one.
Not just that, it puts immense
pressure on the girl too!.

ibrams:
eyaah i dey feel for the gal shaa...because the tin wey she go carry e too heavy.....*sobing*

For Hip-hop(Music) in the North to
reach it climax, there are certain
things we should let go of and
quite a number of things we
should enroll ourselves into.
Though we have numerous list
of artist,producer s,directors,blo
ggers operating both
professionally and for passion
sake yet our voice isn't heard in
the northern region talk more of
9ja at large
Below is a list of things we ought
to get rid of and those we should
adapt
(1) #Pride: even from biblical
point of view," pride comes
before a downfall". The fact that
you are been celebrated or liked
by your fans(Hood guys) ,friends
and loved ones within your
metropolis doesn't make u a
super star, there is still a lot to
do.
Am not speaking to a specified
person but if we need to develop
musically we must do away with
pride. Imagine some artist don't
even relate with their fellow
artist simply because your name
is in every show. ur songs are
been played?? Too bad
#Remember: there's a different
between setting standard and
pride
(2) #WAITING TO BE SIGNED: for
real no one is signing for just
singing sake, we all are looking
forward to be heard or signed by
a renowned label, above all
earning from your singing
carrier is every artist's priority.
One thing is you have to keep
hustling and doing things your
way before u get signed, don't
be lazy or relaxed waiting to be
signed! Beside how do u get
signed when non of your music
speaks for you?? Keep on
hustling, surely your hustle
gonna pay someday
(3) #NOT PERFORMING IN SHOWS:
a lot of artist in jalingo don't like
going and performing in shows
which is not too good for an
upcoming act. Some claim they've
not been invited, I appreciate the
fact that you weren't invited but
sometimes you ought to invite
yourself. Definitely there must be
challenges in hustling
(4) #ONLINE PROMOTION: we've
tend to notice that we have good
producers within taraba but its
very rare to hear our songs been
played in other states why
Because we don't upload them
online! Haba there're free site
you can upload your songs like
Tindeck
Soundcloud
Datafilehost etc
Or why not play 5k to get your
songs on renowned blogs like
Jaguda
360nobs
Wapdam
Moreover we have blogs within
Taraba operated by tarabians
just 2k and get your songs on
blogs like
Rhapsodi affos blog
Naijalingo mp3 etc
Who knows were you promoter
is gonna find you
There more factors we need to
get rid of, but this is the few we
are gonna take for today. Hope
we've learn a little
Feel free to add yours
