By Engr. Charles David Lapmoen Convener, Quaanpan Development Initiative Quaanpan, a local government area situated in the beautiful Plateau State of Nigeria, is known for its rich cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations.

It’s funny how I’ve never been to Jos but still I love the city so much, Maybe its cause some other citizens haven’t taken to liking the city so much Every time I pick my pen to write, I want to write about how I believe Nigeria would be better, But every time I check the news, there seems to have been some new disaster in Jos city. The thing that makes these killings hurt even more, is that it is brought upon by fellow Nigerians Like the saying goes “Nothing is as dangerous as the enemy within” ….. But writing has never seemed to help anybody, but when you are across the ocean (like me), Writing is all you can do! In all honesty, all I can offer to the people of Jos is a good heart and remorse for their loss. Looking back at the once so peaceful city that brought us Tuface, Psquare, M.I and Jesse Jags, Mikel Obi, Steve Gukas, Ice Prince, and whole lot of stars and celebrities You’d have had to be a prophet to have foreseen what was going to become of Jos city. But still li...

Following the disastrous mass murder in Mangu LGA which saw properties and lives destroyed, Hon. Cornelius Dongnaan Doeyok, Member-Elect Quaan-Pan South Constituency expressed deep sadness over the inhuman act meted on peace-loving and law abiding citizens of the LGA.  Speaking on behalf of the entire people of Quaan-Pan South Constituency, Cornelius sympathize with the entire people of Mangu LGA, communities involved and families of the victims assuring them that Quaan-Pan South Constituency stands with them in this trying moment. He tasked indigenes of Mangu LGA and the state at large to be always vigilant and cooperate with security agencies by providing timely security intelligence to avert future danger. He lastly restates the commitment of the soon-to-be sworn in administration to finding lasting solution to the recurring security challenge in the state. Signed: CDD MEDIA Thursday, 18th May, 2023.

 Plateau State is paying dearly for its hospitality in one of the most cruel manner which remains unchecked all this while just because we are Plateau. Those barbarians have a filled day inflicting pains and trauma on indigenes whose only crime is their identity.  One would wonder if slaughtering his neighbor's chicken is not more difficult than Plateau people and still get away without tension.   Politics aside, no government official can protect life of any person anywhere but laws can if implemented, no security can equally prevent all sorts of attacks on armless civilians but prompt response and onslaught on perpetrators can stop reoccurrence and escalation. But what we have here on the Plateau is just a mere stage managed eye service responses by both the government and its complicit security outfits. It started with the Taroh in (Wase) and (Langtang South) then Berom  (Jos South and Barkin Ladi)  all Plateau was silent.  It then took a u-t...
