@patrickanum Until we understand how British strategy and structure of citizens versus subject, and the construction of the native as a governing model, we will continue to gloss over the issues. Thanks for such an elaborate review.

The British built Jos from Anaguta, Afizere and Berom land I keep saying we are lucky in the Middle Belt that these land grabbers are illiterates or we would have suffered! British split Jos into two: Jos Township and Jos Native town but left a section of the bulk of native lands Township was for Europeans & other skilled migrants, while Jos native town was for migrants like Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa etc The third part remained reserved for the indigenes who were majority What is strange in this dynamic is that despite Igbos, Yorubas, the Hausa and Fulani coming around the same time and staying in those residential areas created by the British, only the Hausa and Fulani want to use it as a medium to claim ownership of the lands of the indigenes None of the others are attempting to do such What the British did was to ask the Emir of Bauchi to appoint a Chief Laborer for the Hausa and Fulani labor camp However those settlers eventually tried to elevate a Chief Laborer to have authority beyond the mining camps and to include the indigenes - the British rejected this This is evidenced in 1921, these settlers asked to be placed to rule over the natives in the 1921 Provincial Report and even the British rejected it It shows that they have always been land grabbers. Their descendants are only doing what their ancestors had always tried but failed to do What they won’t tell you is that, the Bulk of the Hausa and Fulani settlers came in the 80s - in a second wave, after the establishment of the University of Jos and settled on University of Jos land illegally, (which is why their primarily settlements are littered around the University of Jos environment Despite them clearly knowing this, many of them claim to be part of the original 2000 initial laborers who came from Bauchi, Kano etc to work as laborers to the British (everyone is now a laborer - because they want to grab lands) The Plateau people have been peaceful and have always handled their expansionism peacefully In 1987, the tensions grew sharper in 1987, when Alhaji Saleh Hassan, a well-known Hausa politician, openly called on Hausa and Fulani youth (who call themselves Jasawa) to “recover” the Jos chieftaincy as their rightful inheritance. That debate of wanting to rule the natives was reignited In 1991, the settlers wrote Ibrahim Babangida (a self professed Hausa man whose father migrated from Sokoto in his recent biography) to create a local government specifically for them Ibrahim Babangida created Jos North Local Government Area, drawing boundaries that favored Hausa settlements. For the indigenous groups, this looked like a deliberate attempt to hand the political heart of Jos to the settlers. Matters escalated in April 1994, when the military administrator of Plateau State Col Muhammed Mana imposed Alhaji Aminu Mato a Hausa, as caretaker chairman of Jos North. Indigenous groups protested, and the appointment was suspended, but soon after, Jasawa youths launched riots The Jasawa were hurt and decided to take the law into their own hands a few days later as they went on a rampage, killing, maiming, burning, looting, and causing unquantified havoc. From that moment, Jos North became the flashpoint of recurring violence. The cycle of conflict did not stop. In 1996, violence flared again near Jos Central Mosque after the killing of Azi Chai, a young Afizere man, during an election dispute by Hausa settlers. The next big riot followed in 1998 when Mukhtar Muhammad, another politician, identified as Hausa but admitted to be Kanuri at the commission of inquiry, was imposed again as chairman of Jos North but forced to step down after allegations of falsified credentials. Yet in August 2001, he resurfaced again as Poverty Eradication Coordinator, a highly sensitive and lucrative post. To indigenes, this was a provocative imposition; but to the Hausa community, it was a triumph.

@Aje_Dynamicz RentStay @ app.myrentstay.com has solved this. This is a big problem and we've provided a one stop marketplace. Landlords and tenants get verified and we are remodeling the agent and legal services as well.

Every fintech doesn't have to revolve or be about Finance 🤧 We desperately need an app that can connect Landlords to Tenants directly 🙂

@patrickanum It's the hypocrisy for me...

El Rufai - I’m afraid of tyranny, I’m afraid of people who don’t understand democratic practices - Says a tyrant who disobeyed court orders, went heavily against critics and journalists and forcefully balkanized chiefdoms in Southern Kaduna

@patrickanum @farooqkperogi I guess it's a new dawn for a lot of those driving that farmer/herder narrative

A lot of people like @farooqkperogi used to call the killings in Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa, Plateau, Southern Kaduna etc “farmers/herders clash” Now that it has affected his people, does he agree that it is still “farmers/herders clash” Nigerians are insensitive till it touches them

Something big is coming to the heart of Jos 🚻 Jos Green Centre, in collaboration with @pepsaplgov and JMDB, is set to pilot the SANE CITY Project with a smart public toilet. Cleaner spaces. Restored dignity. A better city. #SANECITYProject #CleanJos

@JosGreenCentre @CalebMutfwang @edencci @RenewOurWorld_ @loyceabba I know the local government used to be responsible for waste management in the metropolis in partnership with pepsa, that hasn't yielded much result in the past. I'm not sure if that is still the case?

JGC was well represented at the recent review of Plateau State’s OGP State Action Plan! Our OGP Toolkit was recognized as a key achievement, and we successfully advocated for the inclusion of a new thematic area: Environment and Climate Change #JGC #OGP #OpenGovpartnaenship

Not sure why @flyethiopian subcontract their flights to some other airlines without due diligence of Q/S. I had and a nasty experience when checking at Abuja with @AirCote. It is not nice to be treated badly when you are about to go air bound. Not sure if I want to fly that route

@fileta Big celebration 🎉 thanks for all you do!
