The killings in Nigeria's Middle belt.

First of all there was Boko Haram. An islamist sallafist group bringing jihad to his Borno of Christians and western education etc. Their speciality has been to use young women as suicide bombers. They have murdered many people, Muslim and Christian. They even tried to kill the second most important Muslim in the country, the Emir of Kano. As with all these modern jihadists, anyone not of their particular brand of Islam is a target.
 Next the Fulani herdsmen. Before 1900 when Britain colonised their lands they were free to migrate and enslave people in the north. In 1900 perhaps 25% of the northern population were enslaved. Those not submitting to the Hausa-Fulani by conversion had to flee to the hills like the Jos Plateau or around Gwoza. Large tracts of the north remain depopulated. but with Pax Brittanica the slave raiding and slave markets were stopped. The slaves were not officially liberated for over another two decades. Fulani herders were free to seasonally migrate. Muslim emirs ruled under the British. Indirect rule prohibited Christian missions from their lands but enabled the peaceful spread of Islam by trade and other means to areas where previously the intruding Muslims would have been killed. British rule was the biggest help Islam ever had. Herdsmen peacefully migrated for a whole century. Why the did peaceful migration turn into a herdsmen - farmer conflict between Muslims and Christians. Contra to the folly told at Westminster it is not climate change. It is not shortage of grazing land. It is simply jihad.
   It has been said that there are unidentified political sponsors being Boko Haram. It seems obvious that some people are now arming the Fulani to wage jihad in the Middle Belt. No-one speaks about jihad.
   Why is the media in Nigeria silent on these killings? Is it Muslim owned or controlled by southerners who as yet are not threatened by these killings?
  Why is the army and the police so pathetically ineffective in maintaining the security of Middle Belt states? The prime duty of government is the rule of equitable law to protect the peace of the land. Shari'a has been introduced. It is not equitable for women and non-Muslims. The peace is not being maintained.
   People will want to arm themselves to protect themselves. State not national police would be a help in Middle Belt states.
   2019 sees elections. Will there be peace when Nigerian elections have usually been disputed? I fear for the future. There has been one civil war. Another may be brewing unless the world faces up to JIHAD. Islam is no religion of peace. It must rule the kuffars. When will the southerners wake up? When will the world wake up to JIHAD?
   I recently marched with Middle Belt people in London. I was the only Englishman joining their protest outside the Nigerian High Commission. Similar protests followed in USA, Canada and South Africa. Nothing has been done in the way of government response. The media have been silent. How much more blood will now be shed?
   Pray for Nigeria. God alone is out strength. Vain is the help of man - government or media.
