@EeevaJames Big wash, he should State how of that sum is spent to service executives, foot their families and personal needs. How much the waste on irrelevant programs
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.
Nigeria is a reflection of the people in it.
Someone shot his shot at Victor Osimhen for a jersey and even tagged a vendor.
Osimhen saw it and said he’d personally send one.
Then told the vendor to add 15 more jerseys for others.
-That’s where it got interesting.-
Immediately money entered, the story changed.
The vendor suddenly said Osimhen told him to share it himself.
He claimed he had already picked 15 people.
—Then it got worse— He called the same person who brought him the business a scam.
From there, he tried to “negotiate”: 7 for the guy, 8 for himself.
Greed, plain and simple.
The guy refused and asked for all 15 jerseys as instructed.
—Next thing—
The vendor switched again. Said the post was “stolen” and brought another person to justify it.
—Now here’s the real problem—
Instead of people calling out the wrong, they started defending it.
“Make una settle.” “Na just jersey.” “Let it go.”
- Someone even offered to pay extra, rewarding bad behavior.
And that’s when it becomes clear:
We are not different from the people we complain about in power.
—This is how it starts—
small compromise, small dishonesty, small defense of wrong.
Nigeria didn’t just become this way overnight.
We built it, little by little, with everyday actions like this.
Truth is, many people are only “good” because they’ve not had the opportunity to do worse.
One day, we will have an honest conversation about the double standards on this TL.
One day.
Nigerians have a unique, yet dysfunctional way of bringing God into the mix and hiding behind him in moments of responsibility and accountability. I DETEST it deeply.
The day I became certain that Nigerians are fools was when ‘band levels’ for electricity were introduced.
Instead of protesting, they came here to compare bands & brag about who has more light. The govt knows you pple are classist fools, & they’re using it to their advantage. 💀
When Dangote came & petrol prices reduced, transport fares & foodstuffs in the market didn't reduce an inch, but now that there's slight to minimal hike in prices of fuel, they want to increase prices of everything. We're the ones doung ourselves in this Nigeria.
“Nigerians joke with everything, it is our defense mechanism”
Actually, Im starting to think it’s very much rooted in cowardice and the inability to work towards change.
Because what exactly is fucking funny?
This part of the Epstein Files on Bill Gates' plans for the highly fertile Nigerian women, is not being discussed anywhere, because it's not about Trump.
Listen and hear for yourself, with evidence what Bill had coming for Nigerian women, simply because their bodies are well structured for reproduction.

Dear Nigerians,
Peter Obi won't save you. Atiku won't save you. The USA won't save you. China won't save you. Russia won't save you. Elections won't save you.
I know many of us believe in Peter Obi, but he is not our savior. He is just one man. He cannot reclaim the country alone. We must take our country back from the APC and everything it represents.
Under Tinubu's regime, we have endured three straight years of terrorism, kidnappings, abject poverty, neglect, inaccessible medical care, hiked and unaffordable tuition fees, a failed judiciary, unemployment, and mass emigration. This administration was able to snatch and rig the elections even before it was in power, and you think you can wrest control from it now that it is ruling?
You can't outrig this administration. You cannot win in court if you've been outrigged. You must reclaim your country without relying on any elections. You've been registering and getting your PVCs, but to what end? You have to take back your country.
Reclaiming this country will involve bloodshed. If you do nothing, there will still be bloodshed, and even more. But if we unite in this march and come out in millions, there will be less bloodshed.
Look around you and examine your life. Were you born to die poor, unemployed, and fearful? Were you born to die without living? How long are we going to continue doing fundraising for people's medical care? Were you born to serve the children of your politicians? Our parents served these politicians. We are already serving their children. We cannot afford to let our children serve the grandchildren of these politicians. We can't keep cycling around this vicious circle. We have to do something. A generation has to break the circle.
This is not about Hausa, Yoruba, or Igbo. We are all suffering, yet we tribalize that suffering. These terrorists are carefully penetrating our regions one by one. Don't say they are just in the North or Southwest. Slowly but surely, they will reach the Southeast and South-South. We are not special. We are even the main target.
We need to demand accountability. We can't keep living like this while banking on Peter Obi to save us. He won't save us. Keeping everything constant and looking at the current situation of this country, these unscrupulous government will continue ruling us in 2027 if we do nothing.
