ESN can serve as mercenaries now because they've proven to be effective against Fulani herders. Jos people, contact NK and get the job done.

Igbo Man without sense.

You want them to pin it on igbos.

A nation which it's tribes trying to outdo each other with human killings,needs reorientation.we need peaceful coexistence.

Budaatum, do we wait until this starts happening in Yoruba land before we take action and defend ourselves? These people were deceiving themselves saying the same thing you are saying now that it's just baseless fears that we have about fulani taking over people's lands, look at them today. Do you know what it means to lose 55 villages to strangers forcefully? And these fulani have no intention of stopping there, they are doing the same thing in Benue state as we speak. If you like continue deceiving yourself and defending the enemies of the Yoruba nation, wise Yoruba sons and daughters have to be be vigilant, this rubbish must not happen in Yoruba land. The foolish Wakili already wanted to start this rubbish in Oyo state but thank God for the OPC, he has been put in check for now. You better wake up from your delusions and face the reality of what is happening in this country.

their son Gowon is still alive he should deal with fulani the same way he dealt with biafrans

Is Gowon a Berom by tribe? I'm just curious.

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT GOWON IS BEROM.

LET YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS PROTEST TO NASS

LET YOUR STATE ASSEMBLY LEGISLATORS PROTEST TO NASS, COPY THE GOVERNOR

LET YOUR GOVERNOR PETITION NASS AND THE PRESIDENT.

SORRY. MACBAN IS DESPERATE

I hate it when men cannot take back or protect what rightly belongs to them but rather cry like children... Are Fulani herdsmen not humans like you?.

Is Gowon a Berom by tribe? I'm just curious.

Gowon actually is from a small minority tribe in pankshin in plateau state called sho sho, most of these minority tribes are dying and merging with majority tribes like berom or angas etc

REMEMBER SOME YEARS AGO BEROM ATTACK AND KILL MUSLIM EVEN SALLAH DAY BEROM ATTACK MUSLIM IN THEIR WORSHIP PLACE

They started what they cannot finish,i remember like it's yesterday. Fulani are naturally mad but Berom are trouble makers also.Buhari is ineffective ad a leader.

You talk as if I am asking you to not defend your land Mintum, or as if you need my permission to defend your land.

Please know that me and my people are busy defending our land from our very own neighbours who happen not to be Fulanis but Yorubas like us who are threatening to occupy our land this very moment. And if Fulani come we will defend our land from them too.

Two people were reported killed, yesterday, as the communal clash between Erin-Osun and Ilobu communities in Osun State that started Saturday over land dispute escalated.

It was also gathered that about five persons sustained gunshot injuries in the violence between the two neighbours situated in Irepodun Local Government Area of the state.

Houses were vandalised around Ire-Akari area before the Ilobu mercenaries repelled the attack from Erin-Osun warlords.

Bloody fulani terrorist slave.

That is why nobody remember him as a state man.

He is feeling the heat from all side thats why remain silent.
People will continue hating him to the eternity.

onuman:
But Berom will not like to have total freedom from Fulani herdsmen.

Population of Berom is greater than the population of many sovereign countries in the world.

Cheap cash from crude oil in the Niger Delta glues all Nigeria’s politicians, including Berom politicians, and Nigeria’s ethnic groups to one Nigeria indivisible.

Some politicians are like they are willing to sacrifice the lives of people of their ethnic groups for one Nigeria.

Fulani learnt politics from Songhai empire. It is using the knowledge to coerce and convince all the politicians in Nigeria to one Nigeria indivisible.

You're wrong. The Berom people are not that big. They only occupy 4 lgas and have been in the forefront of defending Plateau from the fulanis. The immediate past governor of the state, Jonah Jang is a Berom. Berom don't really have a person in a federal level that can stand for them like the Jukuns, Tiv or Idoma. The traditional ruler of Jos is also Berom. Of the 4 indigenous ethnic groups that by and large make up Jos metropolis, only one haven't been attacked by the fulanis. They are the Afizere people in the end part of Jos. The Anaguta people that occupy the north and north West of Jos have had their lands taken from them by the Hausa-fulanis. The Irigwe that occupy the Western and SW of Jos are currently battling the fulanis. The Berom that occupy the South West and south of Jos including neighbouring LGAs are the worst hit because they're the largest and the backbone of Jos' resistance. The current governor is from the southern senatorial zone of the state and is foolishly playing to the role Adaka Boro played against Igbos during the Biafran war. Fulanis will soon kill him. They made him the Chairman of northern governors yet the people of his state are being killed without him saying anything. Don't blame the Berom people.
As for Gowon, he will rot in hell because his silence shows his complicit in the killings of his people.

Ibrahimmrfish:

Berom people never started anything. If you don't condemn the evil the fulanis are doing today, tomorrow your own Ebira people will become their victims too. Always remember, fulanis have no friends.

Your state has signed up for RUGA so learn to live with it. Moreover your governor is the chairman of northern governors forum.

jimyjames:
their son Gowon is still alive he should deal with fulani the same way he dealt with biafrans

Point of correction, Gowon did nothing. Britain and Russia fought that war.

Beroms should just wake up economically. They once had customs in their kitty.you sell your lands even when fulani are not advancing.how many lands has berom had left in yiingi ,fwabei etc.

Your girls will rather go along with a fulaninor hausa man even when married to a berom man .how can a tribe be drunk early in the morning and not been driven away from their Land.

all hail ESN, saving the east from the zoo animals in uniform since biafran lives matter.

All I can do is laugh at all this rubbish. The Berom are known drunks who targeted Fulani farmsteads and kept their women and children in cages raping them and hacking them.

They forgot that Fulani always revenge. Most Fulanis are law abiding and in commerce, farming and yes cattle rearing. Then some politicians decide to target them and forgets they will come for you for killing their families.


Those with ears will hear.

christ!!!!...................you pathetic flatin0 bastards should really fvck off, biafra was a foolish endeavor born out as a result of the self interest and plan of igbo leaders to dominate nigeria.........it only backfired in the faces of you lot. Gowon is an honorable christian man who fought to keep nigeria stable, far more honorable than the egotistical ojukuwu who couldn't serve under the leadership of someone he saw as an inferior. pride, envy, hate and vindictiveness wishing other tribes evil have only made the igbos a irrelevant. God has a way of humbling the proud and punishing the wicked....igbos pride and arrogance brought them from virtually running the country in the 50/60s to being an irrelevant minority that begs for presidency, fulanis acts of wickedness, nepotism, and use of religious sentiments to stoke the polity has turned them from a self reliant agricultural power house in the 50/60s to a terrorist ridden hellhole. omo Igbo fvck off.

The land mass of the 4 Local Government areas of Berom and the population of Berom alone are more than the land mass and the population of many sovereign countries at the UN. That’s the point I made which you termed wrong. So what stops the Berom from going for a sovereign country for the Berom in order to save the Berom territory and its people from attacks and land seizure by foreign Fulani?

V. ATTACKS ON MUSLIMS



Destruction of Dilimi
The village of Dilimi, on the outskirts of Jos, was one of the areas that suffered the most intense destruction. Inhabited in majority by Muslims, virtually the entire village was razed to the ground. Human Rights Watch researchers visited Dilimi on October 6 in the company of displaced residents who were returning there for the first time since they fled. There was almost nothing there but rubble. Only a few buildings belonging to Christians had been left standing. The rest-about four thousand houses, eleven mosques, and two schools-had been systematically destroyed. The confirmed death toll of nine was surprisingly low, thanks to the concerted decision by Muslim residents to flee as quickly as possible once the violence started. Once they had fled, Christian groups returned to the empty village and proceeded to destroy or loot everything that was left behind.

The violence in Dilimi did not start until Sunday, September 9. It was initially forestalled by Birom and Hausa leaders who worked together to prevent youths from both communities from taking revenge after hearing of attacks against their own people in other parts of Jos. A Hausa businessman and community leader explained: "On Saturday morning, indigenes from the town came to Dilimi saying their parents had been killed in Jos. They told indigenes in the village to take revenge on Muslims. We said: `No, we've been living together for the past eight years peacefully, therefore forget what has happened in Jos and protect our village from any crisis.' We got together with them and carried out joint patrols, Hausas and Biroms together, throughout Saturday."

They patrolled together successfully until the Sunday morning, when some Birom youths started challenging their elders. "They wanted to know why their elders were stopping them from fighting. They were asking them: `Why should these Hausas, these strangers, come to our area and become richer than us?' They asked their elders to let them take revenge for what had been done to their people in Jos." Several Hausa and Birom community leaders went to appeal to the police to send more policemen to the village, but were told that the police did not have enough men because they had been posted to the crisis in other locations. By the time they returned to the village at around 11.30 a.m., houses, vehicles and tires were already on fire. By about 2 p.m., large groups of Birom youths were rampaging through the village, shooting with guns, bows and arrows, and throwing stones. The Muslims residents were completely overpowered and had no choice but to abandon their houses and run for safety. The women and children left first; the divisional police officer eventually came and escorted some of the residents to a displaced persons' camp.25

Human Rights Watch spoke to residents of Dilimi who were living in a displaced persons' camp in Gangare primary school in Jos. The entire Muslim population of the village had had to be relocated there. An elderly village chief described how he survived the attack:26

The attack started on Sunday at about 10 a.m. I was in my house. I noticed Biroms-local residents-surrounding the place. When I came out, I saw about three cars on fire. I asked the Biroms: "Why is this happening after we agreed not to fight?" One man came with a spear and threatened to attack me. An elderly man intervened to stop him. The Biroms were saying: "We're ready to fight the Hausas, the Hausas should vacate the village."

As I made my way to meet the community leaders, a Birom woman stopped me on the way and sent me back, warning me that I would be killed. I managed to pass through but another group surrounded me. There were about ten of them, young men. They had bows and arrows, a dagger, a sword, and locally-made weapons. They said to me: "Say your last prayers, we are going to kill you." When I knelt down, two Birom women intervened. They implored the attackers not to kill me and said otherwise they should kill them too. One of the Birom women saved me; she took me to a Birom man's house. They locked me in a room and I hid there for twelve hours. At about 11 p.m. I left. I was afraid that if I went out after daybreak, I was more likely to be killed.

I went into the bush in the night. I came to a house near the airforce base. The house was empty. I stayed there until daybreak. In the morning, I found my people gathered at the airforce base; they thought I had been killed.

The nine people who were killed in Dilimi included six men, two women, and a three-month-old baby. Three of the men, Baba Jenja, Mallam Abdu, and Mallam Musa, were killed as they were trying to escape; Tsoho Mohammed died in hospital. The exact circumstances of the death of Yakubu Abubakar are not known. The death of Mohammed Abdullahi, a cow-rearer in his thirties, was not discovered until his body was found two weeks later; a pile of sand in front of a house in Dilimi marks his grave. The two women who died were Hajia Lemoji Abbas, aged about fifty, and Mrs. Mohammed, aged about thirty. Both women were attacked as they were trying to flee from Dilimi with a large group of other women and children. They were intercepted by a group of Biroms who asked them to surrender their male children. When the women refused, they killed Mrs. Mohammed and seriously injured Hajia Lemoji Abbas on the head and arm; she died about ten days later. A third woman, Hajia Al Majira, aged about fifty, was still in hospital several weeks later with machete wounds on her head and hand. The three-month-old boy was on his mother's back; he was beaten with sticks and died about six hours later.27

A forty-year-old woman who was with the group of fleeing women explained how they were intercepted:28

We managed to run into the bush but we were stopped on the way. They told us to go back to the village. I said: `No, let the women pass.' They said that we should leave the children behind and they would kill any male child. I have a baby boy. I disguised him as a girl by putting a cloth over his head. Then I knelt down to say my last prayer. I told the others that they should go, that I would sacrifice myself. I was holding my son. A man hit me on the shoulder with a piece of wood. I didn't feel the pain at the time but later I realized I was bleeding. One man who had a gun said he wanted to shoot me. Another man said no and they started arguing amongst themselves. I took advantage of this and ran away with my child.

In addition to the nine people killed, many were injured. Human Rights Watch researchers spoke to a forty-three-year-old man who had serious gunshot wounds on the side of his head. He was shot outside his house in Dilimi on September 9, at about 4 p.m. He said: "Three people attacked me. They had local guns; I still have the bullets. There were other people around but I was the only one they caught there. They didn't say anything. They just shot me. I spent thirteen days in hospital."29

Attacks on Muslims in Other Areas
Human Rights Watch researchers also spoke to Muslims from other parts of Jos who had suffered or witnessed acts of violence.

A forty-year-old Muslim man from Watam, in Riyom local government area, survived with serious injuries after watching several of his neighbors being killed:30

Christians were rounding up Muslims in my area. It happened on Monday, September 10, at about 2.30 p.m. They killed eight people there. They asked us all to lie down outside a shop and poured petrol over us. I started running, but eight other men were killed. They were hit with machetes first, then burnt. I managed to drag one of them with me but he died later in hospital.

As I was running away, they came after me and hit me with their machetes on the back of my neck, on my elbow and back. There were about 200 of them, some young, some old, including a retired army officer. I recognized some of them. They are my Birom neighbors. We knew each other before. They attacked us just like that. I don't know what they were saying as I don't understand their language.

I stayed in the bush for four days before coming to hospital. I was hiding in the bush with my friend Adama Mohammed, the one who died in hospital. They had chopped off his hands and cut his face. I was trying to help him while we were hiding in the bush. I think he bled to death.

The others who were killed all died on the spot. They included Ya'u Zakary, Alhaji Adamu Isa, Mohammed Ammani, Iliya Abdu, and Mohammed Sani, a police officer. They were all my neighbors.

Alhaji Zakaria Haruna, a former civil servant from Dadinkowa, was killed on September 8; his body was burnt and dumped in the boot of his car. He was stopped and surrounded by Christian youths as he was driving into town. The youths were arguing among themselves, some saying they should kill him, others saying they should let him go. As he tried to start up his car again, a cassette of Islamic preaching was inadvertently switched on in his car. Hearing this, the youths began attacking him with machetes and setting fire to him. They left him in the boot of his car. Initially, relatives had difficulty finding his vehicle as the number plate had been removed. Eventually, a relative located it and found the burnt and shriveled body in the boot.31

Some of the victims were not even residents of Jos or Plateau State. For example, five Hausa men who were just passing through Jos on their way to Bauchi and Gombe states were attacked on September 8 at the bridge opposite the permanent site of the university. Only one survived by hiding under the bridge. He saw his brother fall off the bridge after being attacked with machetes. The attackers said: "He's alive! Let's follow him!" He tried to help his brother who had fallen but had to abandon him when the attackers caught up. They killed his brother with cutlasses.32

The Hausa-fulanis started the Jos crisis. Hausas have been killing Berom people before the first Jos crisis on 7th September, 2001. They were claiming Jos as theirs and even called themselves 'Jasawa'. Do you know the number of Berom people that were killed inside Jos city during that period? Don't jump into supporting the evil fulanis are doing because your turn may come tomorrow. Why are they killing Southern Kaduna people today? Why are the same fulani people killing Tivs and other indigenes of other states? Better stand for the truth today.

FULANI THIS FULANI THAT, HABA!
