The Truth About the Jukun–Tiv Crisis: A Call for Justice and Unity

To the Taraba State Government,
To the State House of Assembly,
To the Wukari Traditional Council,
And to my Jukun and Tiv brothers and sisters,

I write not with hatred, but with pain — and with truth. And the truth must be spoken, because silence has only led us deeper into bloodshed.

For decades, the Jukun–Tiv crisis has continued. Villages burned, families displaced, young people turned into weapons of war. Yet the crisis never ends. Why? Because some of our so-called leaders have chosen to profit from our pain.

Let me be clear:

General T.Y. Danjuma has been accused time and again of financing division and arming youths instead of building peace.

Past Governors of Taraba State allowed discrimination against Tiv people in politics and land ownership.

The Wukari Traditional Council, led by the late Aku-Uka and his circle, shut Tiv people out of representation — denying us seats, denying us voice, denying us dignity.

And so today, we ask directly:
Why is there no Tiv voice in the State Assembly?
Why is there no Tiv representation in the Traditional Council?
Why are Tiv farmers still treated as strangers on the land of their ancestors?

When I once asked a Jukun chief, “What are you looking for in my land?” he answered: “You Tiv have no land here in Wukari; I bought this land with my money.”

Is this how brothers speak to brothers? Is this what the Kwararafa Kingdom stood for? If Wukari truly represents the legacy of Kwararafa, then it should be a kingdom of unity — not exclusion.

My Jukun brothers: what exactly do you want from the Tiv?
Is it our land? Is it political power? Or is it simply domination?

The truth is simple: Taraba cannot move forward if Tiv and Jukun remain enemies. No matter how much land one side grabs, no matter how many positions are denied, there will be no development where blood keeps flowing.

We therefore demand:

That the Taraba State House of Assembly guarantees

Kwararafa Was Not a Kingdom — It Was a Military Alliance for Survival

For centuries, the peoples of Central Nigeria — Tiv, Jukun, Idoma, Igala, Etulo, Angas, Mumuye, Birom, Basa, Nupe, Udam, and many others — have been told a single story: that they were once bitter enemies, locked in endless wars, until a mysterious “Kwararafa Kingdom” arose around 1500.

But does this narrative truly make sense?

If these tribes were sworn enemies, why do we find their settlements interwoven, their languages influencing one another, and their histories intertwined? Why would Jukun communities exist right in the heart of Tiv villages if hostility defined their relationship? How could generations of intermarriage have taken place in the midst of supposed constant warfare?

The truth is simpler — and far more powerful:
Our ancestors were not natural enemies. They were allies.

The Forgotten Truth of Kwararafa

The so-called “Kwararafa Kingdom” was not a kingdom at all. It was a military alliance — a coalition of free peoples who came together to defend their lands during one of the darkest chapters in African history: the first European invasions between 1452 and 1455.

According to research recorded in The Battle of Karagbe: The Forbidden History, it was during this period that the Tiv and other tribes of the region united to repel foreign incursions. Oral traditions across the Middle Belt speak of these battles — stories of shared resistance, not endless tribal hatred.

When the capital later moved to Ibenda/Binda Hills around 1500, the Tiv opened their borders to smaller, more vulnerable tribes. These groups were organized into a single, coordinated military unit called Kwararafa — a protective shield, not a centralized kingdom.

Debunking the “Latecomer” Myth

Some still claim that the Tiv “arrived late” in the region or were outsiders to the Kwararafa alliance. But ask yourself this:

If the Tiv were truly latecomers, how did they become the largest and most influen

The Fall of Gaddafi and Africa’s Silence

When Libya’s leader Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in October 2011, many African leaders were shocked. Some presidents even proposed to fly into Libya to negotiate a peaceful resolution, but they were warned by NATO and Western powers that their planes would not be guaranteed safe passage in Libyan airspace.

This message sent fear across the African Union, and the continent witnessed the killing of one of Africa’s most outspoken leaders without lifting a hand.

African Leaders Who Tried to Resist or Spoke Out

1. Jacob Zuma (South Africa) – As AU mediator, he tried to push for a peace plan, but NATO ignored it.

2. Yoweri Museveni (Uganda) – Warned against Western interference and said Africa should solve African problems.

3. Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe) – Spoke against NATO’s intervention, calling it recolonization of Africa.

4. Idriss Déby (Chad) – Expressed concern but was cautious due to his ties with France.

5. Teodoro Obiang Nguema (Equatorial Guinea, then AU Chair) – Called for African solutions, but his voice was ignored.
Revolutionary African Leaders Assassinated or Removed

Many African leaders who stood for independence, Pan-Africanism, and anti-colonial unity were either killed, overthrown, or discredited by foreign-backed operations:

Patrice Lumumba (Congo, 1961) – Killed with CIA and Belgian involvement for resisting Western control of Congo’s resources.

Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso, 1987) – Assassinated in a coup backed by France because he challenged neo-colonial systems.
Samora Machel (Mozambique, 1986) – Died in a suspicious plane crash near South Africa; many suspect apartheid forces and foreign intelligence.

Muammar Gaddafi (Libya, 2011) – Killed after NATO bombing campaign because he pushed for African unity, one currency, and independence from the West

Why They Were Targeted

These leaders had a common vision:
Pan-African unity (one Africa, one voice).
Economic independ
