| Gowon WAKE UP! There Is a GENOCIDE going on in the Middle Belt |
We have a particular bad habit back home, which is ignoring things until they get out of hand.@sbmintelligence has put together a report on the violence in North Central Nigeria. The time for onlooking is over.
John Anule was killed by people who accused him of cattle rustling. On what planet, and in what century is a human being less important than a cow? This is 21st century Nigeria!
Many, in Lagos and Abuja are ‘blissfully’ unaware of what is happening in the Middle Belt. Maybe #BokoHaram fatigue. But we need to wake up and smell the coffee. It affects us. The prices of food in Lagos for example, have gone up by as much as 300% over the last two years. 300%!
This has coincided with the escalation of the Middle Belt violence. There are people in the Middle Belt that have not harvested their crops since 2006! Think of the effect if this is a farmer’s only means of sustenance. Now, expand it over a very large area and group of people.
The Middle Belt violence has different parts but the most important part of the story is that government is onlooking. The full report via @sbmintelligence is HERE , the summary is HERE.
If you are close to Buhari’s government, please pick up the report and share it. More importantly, get Buhari to ACT. Solutions are in there.
Nigeria is fond of burying its head in the sand when violence starts like this, until it boils over.

But this Middle Belt crisis can be a much bigger existential threat to Nigeria than any of those. It’s at the heart of the nation.
The annual BH average annual death toll is 2,500. North Central Killings death toll in 2015 is already almost 2,000!
Buhari needs to ACT NOW.
Or are we going to wait until BBC or CNN talks about the Middle Belt killings before something is done?

The ethnic minorities of Plateau State, Nigeria are crying out to President Muhammadu Buhari to save them from a systematic ethnic cleansing by Fulani militia in the state.
Minority Report has published photos of two Berom men who were murdered at a checkpoint set up by Fulani gunmen in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State.
Below is the report and after the photos, which are graphic, but we are constrained to publish them to give a voice to the voiceless.
On Friday August 21, two Berom men were gunned down at a checkpoint in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State.

| Pwat and Nyam were sprayed with bullets. |
Jimmy Pam Pwat and Ibrahim Nyam were on their way to Barkin Ladi, Plateau State.
Pwat was passing to Mangu LGA in Plateau State and Mr Nyam’s trip was to end in Barkin Ladi.
On getting to Heipang in Barkin Ladi, the men diverted to follow the road behind the airport, just before the check point in Barkin Ladi.
They passed a check point and the vehicle was flagged. Jimmy reversed his vehicle thinking they were being flagged by a security team and spoke in Berom to their killers.
Pwat and Nyam were sprayed with bullets.
Barkin Ladi is under curfew and the area around the airport is expected to have heavy security presence as the interior parts of the Local Government have been abandoned to attacks from armed Herdsmen with no government intervention.
A false checkpoint in an LGA with a government ordered curfew indicates that the Nigerian Army does little to protect Barkin Ladi from what has become an endless reign of terror.
Until their gruesome deaths, Mr. Jimmy Pam Pwat was a staff with Plateau State Ministry of Finance and Mr. Ibrahim Nyam was a staff with the Education Department, Barkin Ladi.
These frequent attacks do not receive mainstream media attention.
KNOW THEIR FACES!
REMEMBER THEIR NAMES!
