President of Middle Belt Forum, Prof Jerry Gana, has said youths in the Middle Belt region will have no alternative than to defend themselves against constant attacks by Fulani herdsmen if the Federal Government cannot guarantee their safety.

Gana said this when a delegation of MBF paid a condolence visit to Governor Jonah Jang in Jos on Sunday, over the July 7 massacre in nine villages of Barakin Ladi and Riyom local governments of the state.

He said the youths in the region were considering mobilising for a reprisal but are waiting for Federal Government’s response to the recent incident where over 100 people were killed including two lawmakers from Plateau State.

He however told the youths not to take the law into their hands.

The MBF president led a delegation, among whom were retired generals Zamani Lekwot(Correct Man) and Joshua Dogonyaro, Vice President MBF, Dr. Bala Takaya; former Deputy Governors of Nasarawa and Kogi states, Michael Abdul and Phillip Salau respectively; and former member, House of Representatives, Mr. Jonathan Asake, amongst others.

Gana said, “Enough is Enough.”

He said though the Middle Belt believed in the corporate existence of Nigeria and had lost many leaders in their quest to keep Nigeria one, they could no longer fold their arms while leaders from the region die very cheaply.

Gana said, “It is also important for me to convey that we as the leaders have been asking our youths to be patient and to be law abiding and not to disturb by having in mind that authorities everywhere will do what is necessary to bring to book all those who are in the habit of taking lives.

“Life is no longer sacred and therefore we want to assure you that our youths right from Adamawa, Taraba, where ever they are, are moblilised and we want to say that if we cannot be defended, because the security of lives and property of the people is the primary purpose of government, and if people cannot be defended by the forces of the Federal Government, I want to say that we are ready to defend ourselves.

freegaza: Wrong timing expecially now that grenades are flyin ova the core northerners in bukuru.Dnt start what you can't finish

Interesting . . . .

freegaza: The whole population of berom is not upto 500k and there are upto 50million fulanis in africa

Yeske!:
The MB realized who the real enemy is very late, I pity them though.

emmke: I strongly believe that the middle belt states like Plateau, Benue, Taraba etc should quit that arewa consultative forum. We don't belong there and clearly they (the core northern states) do not have our interest at heart. Imagine the mofos keeping mute while the fulanis went on their killing spree only to spew craps when the StF decided to evacuate the fulanis for the sake of peace. Kudos to Gana and fcukx Oseni, he's a persona non grata in Plateau anyway.

BS !! Go and face your hausa masters

Awake9ja: As a Benue man that i am, i must say "enough is enough" to all the killings by core-north.

The biafran/nigeria war is what i regret when ever i remembered it.
my father who fought in that war told me that they also see it as a mistake even during the war and after that war.
he one's told me that they fought while the few hausa and fulani's in the war keep taking the glory.

We know our friends and our when the time comes.
we can never make another mistake.

It's not so easy for us to stand up and say "we are sorry to the biafran's" but
they must know by now that we are deeply sorry. not for them to assist us but that we have found out the mistake in the war.

gst101: i am benue and i dont believe we should leave the north and join south even though i am geting fed up by the north. i think we should be on our own. we should be an independent state by the name FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF KWARARAFA. we can exist on our own. give islam the chance, it would take over the world. islam by it nature is dominating! look at the hausas, they accepted islam and all of their original identity is gone. they traded their identity for the arab identity. and the sorry thing is, the arabs will always see them as nigge.r.s. islam is a tool for spreading arabism and these mind colonised hausa/fulanis are not realising it yet!

Blyss:

50Million my azz, try 33 to 35 Mill tops.
