[size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt]CAN conspiracy,the person was a Christian terrorist, he is a bh Christian terrorist he must be among the suicide bomber, why did they remove his clothes? We are tired of all these nonsense we know about the CAN soldiers killing our Muslim brothers in Maiduguri, GEJ and CAN are the real boko haram simply killing the north and trying to cripple the northern economy. We all know these, come to think of this why would boko haram kill Muslims?If truly they want to kill Christians why cant they go to Christian populated states rather they stay and kill Muslims,please these are stories, the useless and senseless American that predicted Nigeria would split by the year 2015 would have his as.s split.[/size][/size][/size]

Ayowumie:

I am trying desperately not to call you a fool.

Expending with great urgency not to conclude you are a jug head, please do not act like an olodo if you cannot derive what I meant from the question please shut da fuuuuccckk up!

Gayigaskia:

Why ibos quickly tag people as ;poorly educated, illiterate and so on. just because you can say "i dey laugh or how u dey sir" doesn't mean you are educated. Sure the level of illiterate is high in the hausa community but the level of immorality is ostensibly higher in the ibo communities.
This Jos problem only demonstrate the lack of leadership this country is enduring. How much long these killings can continue until someone decide to end this nonsense of who is or not indigenous. I mean how silly it is to said even if i was born in jos i wouldn't qualify for scholarship because my parents are Hausa or Fulani. Let me say this i know Ibo christian kids who were born in Niger Republic and went to school in Niger and went to University in Niamey on the expenses of the tax payers of Niger. In fact one of them is now living in Port Harcourt even though his parents are still in Dosso Niger. For those who don't know Niger republic is 99% Muslim.

I still dey laugh


Indigene should be scrapped, was Obama an American? Y cant this bunch of stu.pid back railed bastard.s leave the Muslims alone, its not about being a Hausa-Fulani, the useless Beroms kills even their Muslim natives, lots of hate for Islam, they cover saying Hausa-Fulani

Scrap the bullshi.t called indigene and lets see. Muga tsiyan yan matsiyata masu cin kare da alade!

The prophet said that, "the woman can be married for religion, her fortune, or her beauty. So marry one for the religion" (Abu Issa al-Tarmidi, Sunan al- Tarmidi, Medina n.d., p.275, B: 4, H:1092)

I can never insult Isa (Jesus) (Peace Be Upon Him) because he is a Prophet and as a Muslim I respect and believe in him, without believing I cannot be a true Muslim. But as for you a stinking dripping pig with sagged balls if you got any I can say go and mess yourself.
Agreed Islam rules that’s for sure no doubt and like I earlier said I do not have time to stay in the midst of ignorant pathetic bastards and be chatty. Come on man, I aint got that time boy go suck your dog tits that will be more rewarding to you.

There is an addage in hausa that goes like this "Komai akayi da jaki sai ya ci kara" no matter what you give to a jacka.ss he must eat the straw now what I mean here is derailed two legged bastard will always be a bastard I am refering to any as.shole here that is against Islam and insulting the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), Isamsrules is the captain that steers this ship of shi.t. I am even surprised that my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters are even having time to explain to you. Please brothers and sisters desist from arguing with a fool because nobody will know the difference between you and them, the few you have outlined is okay for the comprehending mind to assess. You all know they are deaf and dumb and can never understand except if Allah gives them the chance, so why waste your precious time debating with an ignorant?

You complain of occupying the road how many minutes do they take? Tops 30 minutes,the xtians blocks the road in Nigeria for hours. I could remember when I was in Nigeria for vacation we spent hours waiting for xtians to close from service.

Each time Islam is being mentioned you see a lot of troubles, why wont the Israelite ban Muslims from praying in Jerusalem. Bunch @s.s niggas are busy saying shit. Isamrules is your name and not Isam rules stu.pid muthafuka!

I know which you know and they know that certainly Islam rules! So who gives a fuc.k?

Tabari IX:69

"[b]Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah's helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah.He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us."

Tabari VI:138

"Those present at the oath of Aqabah had sworn an allegiance to Muhammad. It was a pledge of war against all men. Allah had permitted fighting."

Muslims believe that the Quran is different from all other books in ways that are impossible for any other book to be, such that similar texts cannot be written by humans. These include both mundane and miraculous claims. The Quran itself challenges any who disagree with its divine origin to produce a text of a miraculous nature.

hey gotta go now, got some business to do, see y'all later

joskid:

^^^^ Good luck in whatever hardworking career you find in Somalia, or is it Afghanistan. I heard they need volunteers. LOL!

thank you, I rather die being a humanitarian, it is far better than drinking burkutu and goskolo, Somalia needs a helping hand besides as black as a buffalo a.s.s like your people are, they are still far better than your entire generations, so what?

cold:

Ustaz,imam,Izallatul,wahabi,ankle length trouser wearing i diot,East bowing slowpoke or whatever you call yourself,I have you in my cross-hairs.Your days of reckoning are coming

Look have me in your inter twined hairs not crossed there is nothing you can do, even though I see your signature saying you swallowed your blood that's sound fairy to me, I don't give a mess, the good thing is before we bow to the east we wash and purify ourselves what about you? Stinking smelly i. diot

bodejohn:

As powerful as we nigerians are we have also succeeded in destroying ourselves with our potent weapons. While we fight and trade blames our common enemy finds a route to escape. But my own point is this, if we unite and demand accountability from the people who are paid to provide us security with just half of the energy we decipate here on an ordinary faceless portal, i am sure we will move faster in the direction to solve our common problems.      

very good sensible and reasonable talk, interesting

joskid:

What have I got to do with you? **shrugs**  

God created me Birom and I have no complaints. Proud of it in fact!!

I am sure the Boko Haramist in the article might be a relation. The whole world is watching, God is watching, Christ is watching, even the rocks in Jos are watching. In fact, kill as much as you can. Try to repeat Rwanda if you like. Every blood spilled is a witness against you.  

**GEJ might be Nigeria's last president and you are worried about what your overpopulated mess of  a terrorist youth are going to do when the oil revenue stops flowing.


who fu.c.king cares of oil? Do you think we are as lazy as the birom men? Nahhh comon man, we aint that lazy dude.

even the rocks in Jos are watching. In fact, kill as much as you can. Try to repeat Rwanda if you like. Every blood spilled is a witness against you.  

ayeye, A re, that is what you should tell jona devil jang your brother with a.s.s hole mouth, he caused all the wars in jos trying to appease his fuc.kking idio.ts

cold:

Is this all you could glean from my comment?Why i'm i not surprised,after wasting all those years in a madrassa like school I shouldn't be expecting anything different.In fact I'd have been surprised if you acted any differently.Your extremist views do not fit into today's world.we're moving on to higher grounds whilst you bunch of religious nincompoops still think we're in the 17th century.You & your ilk are pathetic,idiotic,mentally unstable,bereft of ideal,intellectually bankrupt & totally undeserving of the air you breath!

hmm is this guy a ghetto rapper or what? I guess you should be signed with a record label of psychos, is that all you got? I do not blame you its what you have been cramming instead of reading to pass your exams, ohh I forgot you were among the list of successful exams misconduct anyways keep displaying your staunch ignorance.

undeserving of the air you breath! huh? go and tell gej a breath of fresh hell

Beaf:

^
Dude, you don't realise how troubled you sound.

Meat is that your assertion?


which of the beef or beaf or pork meat are you? Be careful or you would be grilled and fed to the dogs, I thought you were the nima iboro former gej a.s.s licker, what could you be doing here? Ahh I remember you have been expunged.

joskid:

Recently it was in the news that one of the Boko Haram linked bombers was caught on his way to attack people near Jos as found here:

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/09/jos-bomber-in-sss-net/

My prayers are being answered as their wicked schemes will continue to fail. That they are increasing their acts of killing, maiming and bombing is a sure sign of desperation on their part.

I think these hopeless looking people have serious backing from some higher ups somewhere to be able to afford to buy these arms and bomb making materials. Go after the big fish I say. Proactive intelligence gathering and a ruthless no-nonsense response should be done the way the US has done sine 9/11.

This is why I still like President Bush. I wish GEJ will grow some balls and give the terrorist some hell!

Look at this i diot, birom man like you with no future ambition calling others hopeless, what can you call your people if those you claim are hopeless? Wa.wa

nasoeb:

Its Okay @COLD, Mallam TrenchGoat and Murtalaa

Lets think of way forward and stop this fighting

Only fools fight someone you dont know but imaginary.

worst than boko haram

na.a.s.s eb abi na a.s.s you be how do you expect  a sane person to think like an a.s.shole like you? Go think like a hole with cold, I don't have your time.

cold:

^^You're so st upid you had to keep repeating yourself,& please don't give the spambot excuse,it's so tiring.Let me reiterate just in any event there are equivocations in any quarters.Y'all need to be gassed,you (in the pural sense)you don't deserve to live with sane,right thinking individuals.How do you justify your actions?How do you live with yourself?How do you sleep at night?Y'all all dead corpses walking!Dead i diots trying to take us down with them.Never!

You call yourself sane or is it insane? Which quarters of equivocations are you referring too? Why do you have to say "any"? Are you contradicting yourself or you don't even know what you are saying? Go get some education p.unk pig

@ cold bast.ard
Maybe its an acceptance that you have agreed to be troubled as a kid, secondly growing in the midst of shows how slow you are. nin.com.poop traditional  i diot 

Maybe its an acceptance that you have agreed to be troubled as a kid, secondly growing in the midst of shows how slow you are. nin.com.poop traditional i diot

@ Cold: Another typo again,

You have again proven yourself, you should have filled in the blank spaces i diot rather than ranting, if you were educated enough you should have known it was a typographical error which I missed while furiously trying to reply you. What a dumb a.s.s. Cold indeed.

cold:

Before i even get started on you,it's misery and not miser.Another i diot on the prowl.You Neanderthals set my house ablaze just 6 months after it set me back by close to 4 mill.But that is inconsequential,the crux of the issue is why do you want to take the rest of us down with you.We're not interested in some 72 virgin crap.One is enough for me.Why don't you just slit your wrists & bleed to death rather than making other people's lives miserable?You consummate retards do not deserve anyone's respect for real.

You have again proven yourself, you should have filled in the blank spaces i diot rather than ranting, if you were educated enough you should have known it was a typographical error which I missed while furiously try to reply you. What a dumb a.s.s. Cold indeed.

murtalaa:

i totall agree with u. however, sometimes you have to hold up the mirror for a fool to realise just how foolish he really is. Save your breath pay no attention this dim.wit

cold:

Troubled, maybe.But I guess it's because I grew in your midst & saw the level of degradation & decadent lifestyle of the average Islamic fundamentalist.I saw how some i diots flogged little kids all in the name of learning a foreign language & knew from then on nothing good could come out of this devilish act.You'd agree with me that your st upidity stems from the merciless flogging you received as a child

Maybe is an acceptance that you have agreed to be troubled as a kid, secondly growing in the midst of shows how retarded you are. nin.com.poop traditional i diot

murtalaa:

responding to your vituperation would mean descending to your level, so i wont. i did not cause all the misery in your life so why should i be your scapegoat?

Murtalaa responding to this cold blooded bastard is a waste of time,he has clearly show he is still depressed with poverty and miser and would want to descend on you. You are by far above his level.

Onyocha:

it is the same attitude of fighting and confusion that is causing us problems.

you people instead of finding solutions that would benefit everyone,you are busy spreading hate and talking nonsense.at least show some respect to the fallen victims.

these bomb blasts are killing both muslims and christians and northerners and southerners.infact,i'm certain that more northerners and muslims have suffered from it.southerners are only talking out of fear that it could spread to the south.

the people behind the crime only want to spread chaos.they are not discriminating between muslims and christians.they are killing everyone.so everyone must unite against them.

Correct. If we could have some people like you with sense of reasoning we achieve better things rather than inciting hate and lack of consideration.

franktolk:

I am a christian, and am really ashamed at the attitudes of Northerners both christians and Muslims. Why cant we live together in peace. A northern xtian would not want to tolerate a muslim, a northern muslim will not want to tolerate a xtian. Nobody brought religion to this world u only acquire it , so why kill yourselves. This killing and cannibalism in the north goes beyond religion, I am a yoruba and I have muslim relatives and never have we had quarrels amongst ourselves. We celebrate our festivals together,wine and dine together,work together, we even marry each other cos we know our respective faiths ARE  sources of unity and medium of communal growth for the benefits of we all and not a source of confusion and divisions as demonstrated in the north over the years.
I am really ashamed to be associated with you guys and that is why there has not been any remarkable growth up north, but rather poverty, illiteracy,corruption of the highest order,hypocrisy and what have you and no wonder the north has been dragging the country back in her quest for growth.

Seriously that was why I asked if they were truly xtians because it is not in the Holy Bible or the Holy Qur'an.

there has not been any remarkable growth up north, but rather poverty, illiteracy,corruption of the highest order,hypocrisy and what have you This is very true.

chillaz:

Inna-lillah-wahinna-illaehi-rajiu @Trenchcoat,take it easy with him. Dnt argue with the Kafi'run's, Allah subuanna watahalla will judge us all, PEACE.

Thank u my sister, I will not argue with him because he is deaf and dumb and cannot really understand, Allah will keep on guiding us.The more you kill the more we yield we will start marrying 4 wives at the age of 18 and lets see how they can wipe us. Kafiren banza, matsiyata mayunwata.

gotochina:

It shall not be well with you nd evry1 related to u. Can u count hw many xtians av been killed by those vampires? Who even says they we're killed by xtians. May u be d nxt victim so u will stop sayn poo

It shall never be with u and all related to u as well, do u have any prove of any xtians killed? By the way u sound clearly shows how heartless and stupi.d u r, I can also see u that ur going to china as ur name implies shows how derailed ur sense of reading and reasoning is, I asked are these xtians at all? Xtianity does not preach violence so also Islam y cant u simply understand wat I wrote b4 commenting, u have shown nothing but hatred and let me tell u I am not afraid to die so when my time comes I will be happy to die as a Muslim, so go Bleep yourself die as a coward. U should be sympathising with these people but u r busy talking trash. Who knows u r even among those in the footage, useless a.ssh.ole

Below is a footage of Muslims killed while praying on Eid Day in Jos, are these Christians at all or cannibals? Viewers discretion is strongly advised.

Jang and GEJ are mute on the issue.


May Allah forgive our brothers and sisters killed and bless them with the best of places Aljannah Firdaus and when we die we pray Allah to die as Muslims, Amin.

Well the above information is just a summary,

THE FOUNDATION OF JOS
Introduction
The world over, it is never a friction for policies and principles to be dynamic. In fact dynamism has for many years been adopted as the philosophy of the various times. Needless to emphasise, therefore, that the various dynamic strides in Nigeria are nothing but the much desirable for.
However, for the purpose of this book, emphasis will be placed on the dynamism of the Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State Nigeria. The book intends to discuss in depth the historical evolution of Hausa/Fulani (Jasawa) in Jos, also the emergence of the Jos North local government area right from native authority to date. The period of 1909 to date and many others. But for the purpose of emphasis, it must be pointed out at the on set that the focus of the book will be searchlight on the Ownership of "Jos" by Hausa/Fulani (Jasawa). A Myth, or A reality? A question in deed. The ownership of Jos by Hausa’s matters of the above question. It can be seen from the point of view a reality owing to the fact that some forms of ownership actually exist.
However, despite the above, the fact still remains that the analysis must be a two-way approach and for proper analysis, the discussant must ascend up to the mountain in order to view the valley.
Original Inhabitants
The issue of the original dwellers in Jos as a matter of great controversy in its history. The controversy is better understood by taking a look at the evolution of this early 20th century city.
Mention must however be made of the seriousness with which any categorical statement on this issue would draw. First of all, if it could be proved who the indigenes of Jos are, the problem (which is the subject of conflict) of the chieftaincy institution would surely be solved.
Secondly, there is a ranging conflict about weather or not certain tribe is indigenous, in Jos. At this juncture, it is worthy to note that conferring the indignity of Jos on any of the tribes would mean ownership of Jos hence the right to the traditional stool of the tin city.
In discussing the indigenes of Jos it is first of all significant if not necessary to examine some important facts, because it is on their remises that any conclusion on this issue would be made.
According to C.G. Ames,1 the people of this Plateau:-
"are not aboriginal inhabitants of the province, though they
have all been living in their present lands for a very long time"
It is on record (Ames) that the history of the people of the Plateau began at several distinct sources all of which are outside the Plateau and many of which are very distant indeed.
Their history is characterized by what (Ames) farther describes at
"Lines of migration of people starting from different sources independently and finally arriving at those parts… in which the present decedents of these early immigrants are now living".
Given that the inhabitants of the Plateau as a whole are not aboriginal, but have migrated from distant places, it would not be wrong to say that the first people to settle in an area or who would be said to have founded a settlement would be the area’s indigenes.
It should be bone in mind that since the dawn of military era, and other forms of administration that predated-independent Nigeria. Several panels and commissions have been set up to find how best to settle the perpetual conflict of the indignity (Ownership of Jos) without prejudices in the conflict. These in the conflict are, Anaguta, Biroms, Hausas and Jarawa.
In discussing the indigenes of Jos, it is first of all significant if not necessary to examine some important factors because it is on their premises that any logical conclusion on this issue would be made.
It is on record that the history of the people of the Plateau began at several distinct sources all of which are outside the Plateau and many of which are very distant in need.
The history can be further describe as "lines of migration for people starting from different sources independently and finally arriving at these parts in which the present descendants for these early immigrants are now living"
Given that the inhabitants of the Plateau as a whole are not original, but have migrated from distant places, it would be the area indigenes. (The statement indeed).
These in the conflict are, Hausas, Anaguta, Jarawa and Biroms. It would be appropriate to look at the origin of the tribes struggling for the indignity of Jos vis-à-vis their connection with Jos.
BIROMS:
The claim for the total ownership (indigeneship) of Jos by Biroms is a child of recent birth. The claim began to surface (For what ever reason) often about 50 years of Hausa rulership of Jos.
Before taking a look at the origin of the Biroms it should be noted that prior to the (excising of Jos from Bauchi in 1926), no single settlement of Biroms could be traced within the vicinity of Jos Town.
As to their origin, Wukari is mentioned in the notes on the tribes of northern Nigeria3 as their place of origin. Reason for their exodus was probably due to the rise of the Jukun Empire or perhaps at a later date to free themselves from the Jukun Yoke. Their migration to Plateau landed them first at Ashono. From Ashono according to Biroms tradition, they moved to Riyom from where the expansion of the tribe took them to Machi, Afang, Assob, Rim, Jal Kuru, Ron Gyel, Zawan, Heipwang and Foron. Which made up the then southern part of Jos Division.
It is therefore, incomprehensible that from the foregoing, that the Biroms people should lay claim to the ownership of Jos. This book will not concern itself (at least for the moment) with the reasons for Biroms action.
ANAGUTA:
Even though, the Anagutas are in the northeast of Jos settled largely on the Naraguta hills where they joined others (Probably Jarawas) and became the Anagutas, an authority on Anaguta history states in his book titled CONTEMPORARY CHANGES IN TRADITIONAL SOCIETIES- THE ANAGUTA OF NIGERIA4 that, the ancestors of the Anagutas had always lived in Gwong (Present Nasarawa Gwom) and that their elders believed their fore fathers emerged from holes in the ground in the vicinity of their present settlement. The Anagutas have no definite tales of migration or any elaborate tales of origin.
Looking at these points, the issue of any people emerging from any holes is simply not tenable. Before analyzing the tradition, it is first of all important to note that the Anagutas rejected the Biroms affiliations to their origin on the ground that they did not recognize any genetic connection between them and the Birom people.
On the issue of emerging from a hole by the Anagutas was only an attempt by them to cling to their present lands in cases of contemporary changes. 5
What is significant about the Anagutas claim is that the boarders of the district of Gwong include a substantial portion of the city of Jos "even though" the Anagutas have no Administrative connection with the municipality.6
It is interesting to note the existence of the Jos along side Hausa native town as "Jos (Pagan) along side about three miles to the east"7 was Anagutas settlements that seem to give credence to the claim by the Anagutas.
Whenever the case, just as the town now grows to meet villages of Gwong district in Anabor or Jigwong, Zangan (or andoho), Rigiza and Andigwong will not make it mandatory for the Anagutas to claim ownership of Jos native town.
JARAWA:
As for them, their main part is in the Bauchi emirate, the Jos section coming originally Lamingo to avoid conquest by the Emirs of Bauchi. The Jarawa, to this day hold allegiance to the main body which was later excised from Bauchi State in 1979, and returned to Lamingo in Jos for circumcision and other "TSAFI" ritual ceremonies.
The Jarawa are found widespread in numerous settlement, probably due to their adventure and travelling. That is probably why they are found in places as widely separated as Kanan, Inshar, Foran, Char and Kwaki: those now in Plateau are found in Federe, Fabur, Fursun, Maigemu and Shere were brought from Bauchi as a result of the 1976 boundary adjustments of the Irikefe panel. Those nearest to Jos are the ones that immigrated into Gwong District, among the Anagutas to whom they are subordinate in the area to this day.
The claim, therefore, by the Jarawa seems to have no weight because even among the Anagutas in Gwong District they acknowledge the primacy of the Anagutas in Gwong and properly regard themselves as recent immigrants from Bauchi States.
HAUSA (JASAWA)
As for Hausas they are widely acclaimed as the founders of the city of its present location. They are whom that have been described by Ames as having: "been there since the beginning of the "century". In fact it has also been admitted by Ames that some of their fore fathers were here even before the beginning of the Colonial Administration.10
The fact that the Hausas, who later moved to Jos from their first settlement at Naraguta which is a "Typical Hausa Village" 11 and their influence on the tribes of the Plateau12(i.e. in Language and Culture) seems to point that the Hausa People have been living in the Plateau for a very long time, probably for centuries before the coming of the Europeans.
It should be noted that before the end of 1910, Jos was an unoccupied farm land and attributed the beginning of Jos to the conduction of a regular market in October, 1910 when the district officer in-charge of the then Naraguta Division appointed a Hausa Market Headman and a Head Butcher and arranged for even to start a regular market.
The fact that even as close as 1950, there were only 207 people of other tribes in Jos town as opposed 10,000 Hausa (Jasawa)seemed to vindicate their indignity to Jos.
It should also be noted that another area of interest is that the Jos native town is separated more by river Dilimi with the Anagutas of Gwom Districts than by administrative purposes of the colonist. The Hausas who are well known as Jasawa and who every authority recognize as founding the "Settlement of Jos" could not be considered as aliens to the Plateau just as the other "tribes". The Jasawa have no other homes but Jos as we wonder why they being scared as indigenes of Jos native town which they have founded and developed.
The conflicts that existed in Jos were those over its political control on the one hand between Hausa (Jasawa) who see themselves as the founding fathers of the settlement and hence its legitimates rulers, and Biroms on the other hand who deemed it appropriate to rule over Jos. Talking of the problem Plotmicor quotes the Jos Division Resident Officer in a letter to the District Officers as saying that "Had the British not arrived these people would have evolved some… administration for themselves… 13 This conflict over the political control of Jos was probably due to the heterogeneous nature of the settlement which according to the colonial Resident Officer "presented problems which needed thinking out" *(Plateau Provincial Annual Report 1921)14 .
The struggle by the Biroms continued with the sympathy of the colonial administration which considered the Hausa rule as a threat to their mining activities connived with missionaries and said Hausa’s had not any sort of authority over the pagans. Gradually, the status of the Hausa Sarkin Jos was reduced to Magajin Gari by 1948 and subsequently the area came to be known as Birom N.A. after repeated protest and resentment by the Hausa it was immediately changed to Jos N.A. in 1955.
The other area of conflict emanated from the efforts of the colonial administration to maintain as distinct, the separate ethnic identities of the communities which "extended to the law court".15 This was because of the fact that by 1920 or earlier there was an Alkali courts in the Jos Hausa Native Town and all subsequent native courts in Jos were Alkali courts based on Sharia.
The conflict arose when non-muslims who resented what they saw as preferential treatment given to the Hausa Moslems, by the colonial administration began to agitate seriously for mixed courts in the 1950s. A conflict that was, however, continued till today is that over the ownership of Jos and its traditional institutions. Principal actors in these conflicts have been mentioned in the early part of this chapter. The history of the Jos traditional Stool is also embroidered in controversy and conflict. It can be traced to two periods - period of Hausa rule, 1902 - 1948, and the era of Birom ascendancy 1948 to date. (16)
THE PERIOD OF HAUSA RULES
From available record kept by colonial administration and oral testimonies, it was certain that during the more than 50 years of Hausa rule, thirteen rulers features with the title of Sarkin Jos. Oral testimonies speak of BUNU and BARDE as the first and second among the Hausa rulers who were turbaned and sent to Naraguta by the emir of Bauchi before 1902. Others were:
1. Sarkin Jos Salihu - 1902 - 1904
2. Sarkin Jos Ahmadfu Dan’inna - 1904 - 1907
3. Sarkin Jos Hasimu - 1907 - 1909
4. Sarkin Jos Buraimah - 1909 - 1914
5. Sarkin Jos Audu Sarkin Ningi - 1914 - 1915
6. Sarkin Jos Garba Dantafida - 1915 - 1920
7. Sarkin Jos Usuman Kura - 1920 - 1922
8. Sarkin Jos Samnaja Dogo - 1922 - 1925
9. Sarkin Jos Garba Waziri - 1925 - 1927
10. Sarkin Jos Saidu - 1927 - 1935
11. Sarkin Jos Isiaku - 1935 - 1948
From the above, it is clear that any counter claims by Biroms may not be taken seriously. In this case, it is necessary to state in the strongest term that we are not in any way referring to the present chieftaincy institution of GBOWG GWOM Jos, but rather we see it as absolutely necessary and our right to have a traditional title of hakimi in Jos native town.
After the status of the Hausa Sarkin Jos was reduced to Magajin Gari which was the first style introduced by colonial administration to knock Hausa’s out of the of administrations, five successive people were appointed with such title as follows:
1. Magajin Gari Mammadi
2. Wakilin Gari Dan Karfalla
3. Wakilin Gari Usman Na Garba
4. Wakilin Gari Dankarfalla
5. Wakilin Gari Alhaji Ali Kazaure
NOTES:
Bunu, the tradition relates was appointed or delegated to Jos as chief from Bauchi; following a request by both the colonial administrators and mining companies to rule the people in Jos Native Town. This was said to have happened during the reign of then Emir of Bauchi, Mallam Yakubu Mai Gari.
Due to limitations of available research materials, no official record has been found about any such request to the Emir of Bauchi, the reason (and possibility too) of such request may not be far-fetched. Administration’s (as well as the miners) indirect rule policy in which the medium of exploiting the masses was usually through their own ruling institutions which advised and respected.
Moreover, the fact that Jos was before 1926 under Bauchi province and Bauchi Emirate provided a royal avenue for the venture which would be acceptable to the Jasawa, strongly substantiated such a request.
Sarki Bunu, who was said to be the younger brother of the Emir of Bauchi first settled at Naraguta. Bunu, according to oral testimonies was a powerful ruler who got the treatment and acted in much the same aristocratic manner as the Emir of Bauchi would himself done. Perhaps it was Bunu that E.D. Morel said in his book.18 "I observed … riding into Naraguta from a distant mining camp… a gorgeously attired Mohammed Dan Sarki in his many coloured robes on a richly prisoned horse". He maintained an elaborated palace, the ruins of which exist today at Naraguta.
Once tradition relates how Bunu intercepted and released the chief of mandara, who had been arrested by the colonial government and was being taken to kaduna enroute Naraguta. By this Bunu was acclaimed as having done what even the emir of Bauchi did not attempt with the colonial government. Bunu died in Kaduna due to illness. The tradition does not specify the time of his death but said that it was after his death that the settlement moved to Jos. However, since the divisional headquarters was transferred from Naraguta to Jos in 1920 - 21, it was certain that he died before 1920.
Sources came across during this research have shown that the Hausa rulers performed important functions. For instance, it is on record19 that in 1930 Sarkin Jos Saidu and the Wazirin Zaria were appointed to a Grade ‘A’ native court to inquire into an affray between the villages of miango of the then Jos Division and pitti in Zaria Emirate which resulted in 26 death. Their investigation was up-held as a credit by the colonial authorities.
Alhaji Ali Kazaure who was the last person to hold such post of Wakilin Gari was relieved off his post in 1970 without any reason given to Hausa’s and the stool remained vacant to date the restoration of which Hausa’s hope any moment from now "ALLAH", will give his immediate consideration.
From the above explanation and clarification, one can understand that, basically and fundamentally, really and realistically Jos North Local Government area belongs to Hausa /Fulani (JASAWA).
For clarity and better understanding let us look at the ERA of Birom ascendancy.
THE ERA OF BIROM ASCENDANCY:
Moves to terminate Hausa rulership of Jos began during the time of Sarkin Jos Isiaku. In 1947 a Birom named Mallam Rwang Pam, then a headmaster at Riyom was appointed Sarkin Birom (Chief of Birom) and not Sarkin Jos (certificate attached). This was apparent because among the then ten districts that were sharing the same native authority Treasury, Birom came next to Jasawa in term of population, and there was the need, therefore, for them to have a representative at the native treasury authority. This appointment made Mallam RwangPam a member of the Birom Tribal Council, which later served as his stepping stone and opened the way for him to become the Sarkin Jos.
As faith will have it, Sarkin Jos Isiaku died in 1948. His death marked the end of Hausa rulership of Jos. The circumstances that led to the shift of the chieftaincy from the Hausas (Jasawa) to the Birom who have no locus stand over it, were highly controversial and a matter conjecture.
It is important to note that a strong probability existed that the institution a Birom chief (instead of Hausa) who was hand picked rules away from Riyom to rule over Jos, was a ground design by the colonial administration in connivance with the Tin Mining Companies to enable them tap the mineral wealth of the area unchallenged.
Another reason which now have more substance than the former, blames revolution on a trinity of colonialists Tin miners and missionaries, which sought to unite all the minorities of the Savannah region under a Christian umbrella in order to curtail the influences of the Hausas as well as to provide a suitable European settlement due to the favourable climate of the area and pave way for easy evangelisation.
It should be noted that since the formation of the settlement, no steadfast system of appointment or succession to the thrown of Sarkin Jos was followed. Consequently, by 1957 Mallam Rwang Pam20 had already begun to answer Sarkin Jos instead of Sarkin Birom. This brought great resentment by the Hausa whose post was relegated to the subordinate post of Magajin Garin Jos. This development was and is still being presented not only by the fore-founders of Jos native town, but also by other tribe who are neighbours to Hausa’s because They both feel cheated.
Mallam Rwang Pam was appointed as Sarkin Birom by "Mr. Cecil Rex Niwen" in 1957 (Copy of certificate of appointment already attached). He died on 14th July, 1969 and he was succeeded by the present Chief of Jos Dr. Fombot on 19th August, 1969. The Chief makers were Chief of Pangana, Miango and Rukuba.
As near as 1925 Jos was part and parcel of the then Bauchi province which was exercised by the then authorities who have come to meet Hausa’s living here long before advent of our colonial masters. It is an irony of fate and history that other portion of the state that were exercised along with us, namely Wase and Kanem L.G.A.’s who are also of the same Hausa/Fulani descent as Hasa’s, are fully accepted as indigenes of the state; while Hausa’s are being doubted simply because of some propaganda that was based on advantage take over the educational background of Hausa’s ancestors. Other portions that were simultaneously exercised with Hausa’s from the then Benue province and who also received full indigenous recognition of the state were Lafia, keffi, Awe and Nasarawa who are also Kanuri/Hausa/Fulani descendants.
CHAPTER THREE
Historically Jos belong to the Hausa/Fulani and they are the real indigenes. What is happening today in terms of rejection is just distortion of history which will bring more difficulties and complex questions than solutions.
The Biroms claimed the ownership of Jos because Gbong Jos is a Birom, neglecting the history of how the stool turned to Gbong Gwong Jos from Bwong Gwong Birom. Also the Jarawas and Anagutas claim to Jos is because of the proximity of their villages. But their historical areas though in Jos geographical division, is not in Jos native town. They are only neighbours to Jos town where as Hausa/Fulani claim, the book entitled: "This is Jos" State:
"… the twon was by 1912 referred to as" Hausa settlement of Jos"(1)
Mr. Ames (a colonial administrator) noted that:
"… the Hausa/Fulani inhabited what is presently known as Jos before the coming of the colonialists and before the Hausas Jos was an unoccupied virgin land. The Hausas have been there since the beginning of the century. No Birom had a house in the heartland of Jos. ‘He continued: "… as close as 1950, there were only 10,207 people in Jos town of which 10,000 where Hausas" (2)

Also refer to the names of heads of prisons, police, administrators, judges etc of those days. You will realize that they are all Hausas. This is Jos stated:
"… The town continued to be treated like any Hausa… city where Muslims rules applied and was completed with an alkali court
Also from the names of the wards such as Abba Na Shehu, Garba Daho, Ibrahim, Tafawa Balewa, Sarkin Arab, Gangare, Ali Kazaure and also the names of street such as Dan Karfalla, Tsoho Salihu, Masallacin Jumma’a etc, One can conclude who owns the towns. This brief history is just a tip of the lceberg considering what is on record .
Jos was an integral part of Bauchi Emirate. To support this assertion the book entitled "This is Jos state:
"……in the turn of the century, Sir William Wallace commanded an armed force to subdue the Emir of Bauchi and a political officer of this expeditionary force named Sir Richard and Temple used this opportunity to tour and map the area. It was….in march 1902, G.R Nicholas a mining engineer, undertook a successful expedition to the Jos Plateau…, The following year he returned with Colonel H.W. Laws also a mining engineer escorted by a full company of the west African Frontiers force…(6)
Agreed historically, each of the tribes claiming ownership of Jos must have migrated from one place or the other. For example Jarawas, Mwaghavuls. Ngas and part of Anaguta migrated from Bornu to Bauchi and later migrated from Bauchi to present places in Jos division or Plateau. Historically, Gbong Gwom Jos, Dr. Fom Bot claimed that the Biroms migrated from the old Gobir Empire in the present Kebbi/Sokoto State (that is Madawa, a border between Niger Republic and Sokoto)(17) while other sources said the Biroms originated from Wukari, though culturally this is not tenable, because the Biroms share no cultural hegemony with the Jukuns unlike many other tribes who share hegemony with Kwararafa. Part of the Anagutas also are said to have came from Gobir of Kebbi State.
From this historical fact it could be seen that we the Hausa/Fulani are not the only tribe that have migrated to Plateau. Even at the time of migration the Biroms, Jarawa and Anaguta should not have arrived on the same day, but still each recognised their individual territory, then why are each of them denying Hausa’s territory as well as claiming it?
THE METAMORPHOSES OF HISTORICAL DISTORTION
According to a colonial officer Mr. Plotmicer in his book entitled: Strangers to the city: the urban man in Jos, he said:
"…This unholy marriage of convenience as the collaboration of the colonists and Biroms was motivated by the desire to control the mining filed in the area (i.e. divide and rule)…(9)
This was initiated by first creating the stool of non existing central Birom chiefdom (which we had no any reason to suspect or criticise) and we are not against it. In that regard the Gbong Gwong Birom was installed in the person of Mallam Rwang Pam in 1947, not to rule over Jos but his Birom kith and kin. As at the time he was to be promoted to second class chief from third class in his letter, the deputy lieutenant Governor of Northern Nigeria, Sir Cevil Rex Niven addressed Dogwom Rwamg Pam as "Sarkin Birom" not "Sarkin Jos".
The second insidious gimmick against our people was the creation of Jos division which covered about 1,431 sq miles then, the population of the division by the 1963 census was 457,759 people. The division was then divided into nineteen independent districts. The districts does not belong to Biroms and Anagutas alone as Mr Sen Luka Gwom stated on 1st November 1997 before this honourable committee at Plateau State House of Assembly. Other tribes that were in Jos division local administration, who were later skimmed out of Jos traditional council, include Jere, Rukuba, Irigwe, Jal or Ntem, Amo etc. The nineteen independent district heads as at 1969 include:

Before the establishment of the British System of administration each district was virtually independent of the rest except for family ties which in some cases ran across district boundaries (11). This shows that before 1902 Jos was also independently a Hausa enclave as we had Sarkin Garin Jos not Wakilin Garin Jos then. We must therefore differentiate between Jos Native Town and Jos Division consisting of other tribes.
The chairmanship of Jos division local administration council prior to 1947 was held in rotation by these district heads. e.g. in 1946. The district head of Amo (Mallam Sambo) was the chairman of the council. It was later that permanent chairmanship was proposed (by the colonists for their own interest) and Mallam Rwang Pam was chosen in 1947 as the first chief of Birom with a title Gbong Gwom at a status of a third class chief.
In 1955 the entire division was united under one local administration as a result the paramount chief of Birom at that time made the head of the administration and a second class chief with the new title of Chief of Jos in that same 1955 (this is Jos said "it was in 1954)…"(12) while narrating how the Hausa/Fulani were robbed of their stool. The book "This is Jos" stated:
"… it was not until 1951 after innumerable agitations (instigated and decided by the colonial masters) that the status of Chief of Jos was reduced to Magajin Garin Jos and the area (was manoeuvred to) become known as Birom N.A. and later changed to Jos N.A. in 1954 (because many districts out of Jos division were not Birom speaking areas). That was when Chief of Biroms became the Chief of Jos…"(13)
This is how the Hausa/Fulani were robbed of their stool with no reason was given for that and a new designation was given to it called Magalin Garin or Wakilin Gari. As the term connotes, even these can only be given to indigenes as such five Hausa successfully ruled in that capacity namely:
i. Magajin Gari Mammadi - 1948 - 1949
ii. Wakilin Gari Muhammad Dan Karfalla -1949 - 1951
iii. Wakilin Gari Usman Na Garba - 1951 - 1956
iv. Wakilin Gari Muhammad Dan Karfalla -1956 - 1959
v. Wakilin Gari Ali Kazaure -1st April 1959 - 1973
Another attempt to strip the Hausa of Jos traditional titles was made by removing Alhaji Ali Kazaure as the Wakilin Garin Jos in 1973 which is still unoccupied.
Despite all these Hausa/Fulani were considered as indigenes in all records. Hausa/Fulani were considered as indigenes of Plateau State in the Plateau State official diary of 1990 at the page two it states:
"…The multiplicity of ethnic groups in Jos… is made up of… Biroms, Jarawa (Afizere), Anagutas and Hausa as the dominant groups…"(14).
Mallam Rwang Pam died on the 14th Jult 1969 (after twenty two years of reign) and Dr. Fom Bot was enthroned Chief of Jos (not by Birom because the stool belong to Jos division) by the Chiefs of Pengana, Nyango, Irigwe and district head of Jos division on 19/8/1969 and by ceremony was done on 20/3/70 (15)
It was then held by every tribe that Hausa/Fulani were indigenes of Jos for one cannot be part of the king makers of any society if one is an indigene. Though, the stool was unjustifiably rubbed from Hausa/Fulani but in order to make peace our people take it in good faith, as such among the king makers that selected Dr. Fom Bot were Mallam Suleh Muhammad, Mallam Sani Dankaka and Alhaji Ali Kazaure. They were among the king makers of Jos. Ali Kazaure (Wakilin Garin Jos) also assisted His Excellency the Governor of Benue-Plateau State (Mr. J.D. Gomwalk) in the installation of Dr. Fom Bot as Chief of Jos (16). This is to show the position of the Hausa/Fulanis even among the king makers of Jos and it also portray us as peace loving citizen.
HOW THE LGA CAME TO BE:
The local government came to be in 1991 when additional LGA were created in that same year. Every peace loving citizen applauded that development including Anaguta Afizere (please refer to The Sunday Standard of 20/10/1991), except some tribes out of their selfish sentiments, who were the architects of 12th April, 1994 crises which resulted in the killing of many of our people as well as setting ablaze our places of business and places of worship. After the local government settled despite their previous threats to peace the same people are now benefiting from it and we that advocated for that were fought and rejected as non citizen.
The present Jos-North LGA represents the following wards:
i. Abba Na Shehu Ward
ii. Ali Kazaure ward
iii. Dalhatu Ward
iv. Garba Daho Ward
v. Ibrahim Katsina ward
vi. Sarkin Arab Ward

ECONOMIC SPREAD
The local government area with our contributions in the past and present is the pivot of the states commercial, social and other economic activities in the state. The local government contributes over 70% of the states government internally, generated revenue which is largely collected from the indigenous Jasawa.

1998 TOTAL COMMUNITY TAX, EDUCATION LEVY AS 31/3/88
Despite our clear history and massive contribution to the development of the area politically, socially and economically, we are segregated upon. As at now there is only one district in the whole local government area. Also another example was at the stewardship of Sir Fidelis Tapgun when he intended to increase the number of districts in the state, our areas mentioned above were excised, belonging to no districts but just floating wards.
For the source of these facts please refer to "The Nigerian Standard" of 19/10/93. Instead out of selfish interests Hwolshe and Girgiring of Jos South were merged to Jos North. This decision to single out these wads was informed by the desire to deny natural justice to our people who constitute the majority of the total populace. As at today Jos North with only one district (Gwong) has a rejected population of 493,685 people (based on 1991 census). This is against the call by the Government White Paper on Chieftaincy Affairs in Plateau State in September, 1976. The panel state:
"…In order to achieve ethnic harmony and for the purpose of peace and stability in general, a district should be created in Jos town comprising the following wards".
The wards includes:
i. Abba Na Shehu Ward
ii. Ali Kazaure Ward
iii. Dalhatu Ward

COLONIAL ADMINISTRATION
By 105, and within 2 few years thereafter, the whole of the Plateau word been occupied and pacified by the British.
The British incursion into the Plateau was spurred by the mining department of the Royal Nigeria Company in accordance with the aims of the colonial administration in Nigeria; to pacify and administered in the interest of trade.
In 1906, Jos was administered as part of Bauchi with headquarters at Naraguta (Narrkuta) which was later transferred to Jos around 1920-22.
In 1926, after the creation of the Plateau province which came into being as one of the measures of the reorganisation of Northern provinces in which 5 divisions were part of (Jos Pankshin, Jama’a, Shendam, and Southern). Jos was made the provincial headquarters and seat of govt.
The administrative machinery that evolved was made up of a central treasury, police prison and courts in each division under the direct control of the district officer.
According to Plotmicor, at the onset, the colonial administration tried to keep culturally dissimilar ethnic groups separate. Thus the urban centre of Jos was divided into (2) two separate administrative units.
Native town (which was founded by the Hausa) subordinate to the Divisional native administration which was before 1921 located at Naraguta.
The township (which was where the settler population lived) was a separate entity of its own within Jos where Asians and Europeans eventually settled but in a special reservation a part from other Africans- ‘Anguwan Turawa’ (G.R.A.).
Both the township and the native Town invited powers of local govt. and civic administration.
The township was under the jurisdiction of the ministry for local government. of the then Northern Region with communication and command generally handed through the Resident of Plateau province.
The native town on the other hand was what Plotmicor described as a subordinate native authority under the partial control of the Jos native Administration which was co-extensive with Jos Division.23
When Jos was declared a second class township in 1920, its council was determined by the colonial administration. The geographical and jurisdictional boundaries of the township were defined by the govern (of the then Norther Region) who also authorized a local authority, a civil service and ordinances in accordance of 1917. It should be noted that the advisory board of 1921 was made of entirely Europeans who represented government. department and Europeans commercial interests.

joskid am wit u bro. Jos is for the plateau people and we gonna fight with our last blood to preserve what belongs to us. @ nagoma u keep trying to imply that jos/plateau is all about berom. Wrong. There are many other ethnic groups on the Plateau, all fighting for the same cause. This cause has united and made us stronger than ever.

People are trying to find a lasting solution to the crisis but people like you keep fueling it. The worst part of is is you kill innocent people along the road and steal their hard earned money, if truly you want to fight go directly to the Muslim places and fight, but due to cowardice you rather stay in remote places and kill people coming from Adamawa, Borno, Yobe, Gombe Bauchi etc. If you guys feel you really want to fight ask the FG to withdraw all securities and see what will happen.[b] joskid am wit u bro. Jos is for the plateau people and we gonna fight with our last blood to preserve what belongs to us. [/b]Talk is cheap!


Nagoma. May Allah bless you, let them go to the library in London and get more facts there they will know that Jos was not and will never be for Berom,if we were to really setup a fight to kill you people you would have been in hell squeaking like a pig, very soon the ba.stard Jang will be behind bars yelling for mercy, his st.upid mouth will be sealed very soon its just a matter of time, finish all the rituals in India we will be waiting while Pauline Tallen will bring peace to Jos. Berom fuc.king agenda is coming to an end!

May Allah forgive all the Muslims that were brutally killed amin.

The more Muslims you kill the more appear! Bi.cth a.ss niggas!

Berom people reserve the right to enforce any law at their land different from that of Nigeria law, remember Dirty Stinking Hausa/Fulani has been enforcing Sharia that is different from Nigeria Law in Core Northern State and other Nigerians are living with it.

I heard that Berom people inflict maximum pain to a Hausa/Fulani when killing him, sey na true

I can see you are a skunk bas.tard and all you do is fuel more problem rather than suggesting a peaceful resolution. Ewu like you.

Muslims were killed and an international media reuters reported but due to hate of Muslims and Islam people hate it,hmmm what a pity to all the haters, jospig is a liar all wat he said was crap, Berom originated from Niger Republic but were driven away from Niger because they rejected Islam, they later settled on the rocks of Bauchi and Plateau State, our fore fathers gave them cloths to wear and educated them, due to the simplicity of the Huasa Fulani we allowed them to mingle in our midst, but behold now that they have been free with us, they want to claim and create fake identity by coming up with settlers and indigene s.hit, if a Berom man meets you in abroad he calls you his brother even if he meets u in Lagos that the same but if the same Berom meets you in Plateau he calls you your enemy. Check out this stu.pidity and foooolishness.

Presently, when the Igbos went to stay in Gyel what happened to them? The Beroms were busy stealing their properties and fighting them yet you say you are living peacefully with them, is Jos North part of Jos South? Why would Jang impose a Chairman brother to the dead Berom king gyang buba from jos south to jos north? Is that not enough evidence for people to know it was intentional just to provoke the Muslims or to ferment crisis.  The sucking black bat vampire jang is in India doing his rituals while people here are dying we pray that Pauline Tallen rules and then we will see changes deviating from the Berom fcukin.g agenda!

Look at what this idiooot of a s.hit saying you call yourself joskid or is it billy the kid or jos pig?Whatever, you claim to tell you you are in Canada, well first of all I am in the largest city of the world New York and we live peacefully with our Christian friends here and do alot, you claim to be in Canada where did you get the money to travel there of cos everyone knows you stole the Fulani cattle and ran away there thinking you have escaped which I know you are still in the caves of Du or Kuru. The Fulani will hunt you and get back their cattle.
You made mention of asking aliens to go out of Jos, were you not driven from Niger? Go and ask your monkey looking ancestors to tell you what history was before you come in here and start talking trash. I like the suggestion of what adanny01 made just withdraw all the security operatives since you want it the hard way and see who will be the last men standing. The total population of Berom is approximately 15,000 how can you compare that with the Muslims in Nigeria you are just a portion of nothing but busy creating chaos simply because the drunk vampire jang government is supporting you. Well the good thing is wait for the dreaded group in the north to come for some preview and we shall see who will pack and run away. I dont drink I dont smoke huh? Typical Berom life and you still call yourself a Berom. Bit.ch a.ss p.unk!


WilWily or wee wee you are the stinking mut.ha fcuka who will be killed by the Beroms, they are enemies of progress and will never want to see any body progressing yet they will not go and work to get money, if it were the women that have the zeal it would have been good.

Col Dungs once said if you Riyom to progress bring the Hausa's but the selfish Beroms rather sit and drink gwate and drink burkutu!

joskid the way u sound shows u have never been to Jerusalem before, ask those that have been there, Muslims and Mosque exist and nothing like religious wars happen there, secondly, the way you sounded shows you were among the killers and looters that have looted the Muslims their hard earned cash and I guess by now you have either squandered the money in burkutu, goskolo or pami joints waiting to create more chaos. You are busy killing innocent people and other passers by along the road if you really want to kill the Muslims go to Jos and show us you are bold enough rather than being a three legged dog with rotten teeth to run or bite. Instead of you to go and get yourselves jobs you are there drinking to drain your brain and ferment trouble. Well the good thing is there has been a shoot at sight order get your rusted matchet and guns and we will kiss you goodbye. Thugs with no future!
