Certainly, @Verydakman will come under attack for having the courage to say what many have refused to acknowledge about the crisis in North Central Nigeria, particularly in Plateau and Benue states. The activist is right to point out that much of the violence revolves around the long-running farmers-herders conflict.... Attacks on farmlands often trigger retaliatory attacks, just as the killing or rustling of livestock frequently leads to another cycle of reprisals. This pattern of revenge has fueled the violence for years. The narrative that the conflict is solely driven by a grand agenda to establish an Islamic caliphate or seize land for Fulani people is also FALSE. This claims have sometimes overshadowed the complex realities on the ground, including competition over land and resources, criminality, weak governance, and cycles of retaliation, while distracting citizens from demanding effective security and governance from their leaders. There are hundreds of documented reports, investigations, and case records that examine the multiple drivers of the conflict. Any lasting solution must be based on evidence, accountability, justice for victims, and an honest assessment of the facts rather than narratives that deepen division.show more
