Mangu Crisis And The Dearth Of Truth by Saifullah01: 7:04am On Jan 25
I have scoured the Internet on this mangu crisis and have found four videos trending targeting different audiences.

1. The video alleging a church being burnt

2. A man standing claiming to be CAN local chairman dishing out divisive rhetoric saying it is a Muslim Christian war and security is aiding Muslims to destroy Christian lives and property

3. A video of a mob streaming down a hill and a hausa voice claiming they are Christian youths chasing Muslims

4. A video of burning houses and security vehicles and a voice asking for prayers for Muslims over there and claiming security is aiding the Christian youths in destroying Muslim lives and property

All these conveniently targeting different groups to incite them against each other and divert the conversation which just some weeks ago was on mining as a source of insecurity to discussion of religious crisis

If you guys don't sense something fishy here and how sentiments are being stired up, then we are in for a serious trouble.

The targets of these videos are the local gullible and credulous population of unemployed Muslim and Christian youths who would share these videos to each other and turn on each other

I hope this gets to front page

The problem is lack of leadership in Nigeria.

A country that is serious will call these people to order and if they persist,the terrorists will be flushed out.

The state and federal government are useless over here. All they do is share money.

These guys know that their leaders are weak and incompetent. They know nothing will happen to them at the end of the day.

Its a sad event. Not a religious war. I also dont think its due to mining activities in Mangu(resources there not in commercial values). Might be economic due to the cattle and grains markets in the neighbourhood

Racist bigot christs terrorists will always show their selves. One christain boy was commenting on Twitter that from his inception his dad thought him to hate anything muslim, that is how he was brought up. So tell me how this guy be reasonable in judging what is happening in places like plateau. He will never ever see that Christians always provoke kill, maim muslims but when they retaliate it they become the perpetrators.
Re: Mangu Crisis And The Dearth Of Truth by SeeWahala: 8:34am On Jan 25
Muslims are killing, murdering and massacring Christians in plateau cry

And on nairaland the Muslims are trying to claim victims and shift blame to the dead Christians undecided

Mangu case is not an issue of illegal miners. It is the effect of chosing sides. The Muslims chose side when murderous Fulani militia was intercepted in Mangu resulting to the death of some of them. They will always chose sides and make it a religious thing instead of exposing the culprit.
As for the military being behind the Muslim killers, I have something to say.

The military has always been a tool used by the then governor Simon Lalong.

I still remember what they did to me, PDP EXCOs, the governor and even police DPO when they were to conduct the congress in Mangu. THE PDP OWE ME FOR MY TRAVAILS IN THE ARMS OF THE SECTOR 8 SOLDIERS.

The Mangu saga was deliberate and created for the military to benefit from the crisis. Mangu has mixed religion like the Yoruba people. In a family, you would see Muslims and Christians and they would not contemplate fighting themselves.
So if you doubt military supervision of the killings, you are only being sentimental.

It might or might not be mining activities, but two things are certain. One, this crisis is more complicated than the way it is presented - simply muslm/Christian. Secondly someone or some group is benefitting from this crisis continuing. That's why the locals need to "get their heads out of their backsides" and see that this religious simplification of this conflict hasn't addressed it for over a decade now that it has been reoccurring, isn't it time to do a complex root cause analysis?

Your mentioning of Muslims siding with fulani attackers is exactly what am explaining above. These vilage cleansing attacks have been reported in Sokoto, Zamfara, Niger, Katsina etc most times on Muslim villages. In those areas above the narrative pushed is Hausa v Fulani. Cant you see that the sponsors of these attacks careless the religious leanings of their victims. Even though these areas might have complicated history of interactions between locals due to tribe or religion, this fact is being exploited rather than being the cause.

You guys need to think beyond social media and solve your problems

I pointed out above that the military was culprit IMO. But a vessel was used. The vessel has always been people engaging in religious wars and people who boldly claim they will repay one death of theirs with multiple killings and destructions. This doesn't mean Fulani people are involved. But they choose sides quickly if one of theirs fall during crime and are not willing to expose one of their own.

Jos should be boiling by now after the news of what transpired in Mangu but everyone is going about their business. No military, no curfew. So Mangu was a deliberate act. The governor exposed them to the president. They are not happy with that. They are trying to make sure it is a religious fight and they have succeeded. The only solution is for the two aggrieved religion to join hand and expose the sponsors. But this may never happen so the alternative is for government to provide work for people to keep them comfortable. You can not coerce a comfortable man into crime.

Are u speaking as a Plateau man or a PDP man? The same say your party was hell bent on illegally taking over the house,the crises happened,did the governor not get security report why are u still calling Lalong name.The PDP and its govt must find solution

.
I guess it is Lalong that drew your attention to my post. I tried not to mention Lalong in the crisis in Mangu for sanity sake but you are quick to try to exonerate him makes my suspicion more valid.

Lalong used the military to stop congresses of the PDP in plateau state claiming coronavirus The governor was a victim of the harassment. The governor being from the same PDP getting close to the president was a threat to him. He had to run from ministerial position because he has nothing to offer. I am not a member of a political party but was caught is their political game. Politics has remain a game to these murderous elements that justify killings. I have not forgotten Killings in Naraguta Village under his and military supervision. So not mentioning him is for sanity sake because the crisis is not mine to solve.

I am not claiming to be right but speaking according to my understanding. So feel free to offer your ideas instead.

The folks in Plateau have been bred for the last 25years or so ti despise and hate each other.


The economic angle is just an after thought. The incitement has existed alot longer and has snow balled into what it is.

There is no peace because hating, inciting and plotting against each other has become the new normal. Lies and conspiracy theory thrive. So called leaders that call for fairness or peace are often regraded as traitors of the group. They will pretend in the open and plot in secrecy.

As it pertains to Plateau Violence and carnage . Just hold political leaders, religious leaders , various militia/youth groups and tribal leaders in Plateau accountable for the lack of peace . Acting as if its loop sided or one is the victim is just being naive. They are all killers and destroyers willing to devour there opponents innocent or guilty o!

You can smell the hatred when you are around them without the pretence. Peace and love is far from them.

Economic empowerment (not necessarily directly from government, but with its support) is what is needed. Local enterprise, innovations and commerce. Unfortunately these things need peace to exist.

I wonder how such ugly hearted people from both sides came to inhabit one of the most beautiful landscapes in Nigeria?
Re: Mangu Crisis And The Dearth Of Truth by DMerciful(m): 2:34pm On Jan 25
Whether the root cause is mining or religion,
its clear that the group of people we all know are natural terrorists are being used to carryout whatever agenda they have.
