Musa Idris Ubandoma, a Fulani man notorious for inflammatory social media activity, has triggered fresh outrage after posting conditions he claims are necessary to restore peace in Plateau State.
In a series of Facebook updates, Ubandoma listed demands that many Nigerians have described as dangerous and provocative. His statements, widely circulated online, have raised alarms over rising ethnic and religious tensions in the state.
Ubandoma’s Demands for Peace
In one of his posts, he wrote:
“Plateau state can only get peace on these conditions:
Deputy governor who is Fulani and Muslim
Appointment of one Muslim SSG
Ruga land
State to support the Islamic pilgrimage
We are one. We must live in peace, if not RIP.”
The post, perceived as a veiled threat, immediately drew backlash. Social media users accused Ubandoma of incitement and questioned why security agencies have yet to take action against him.
Escalating Rhetoric
Shortly after, Ubandoma doubled down with an even more alarming statement:
“Plateau belongs to the Fulani. We will keep destroying those who want to stop us. Useless Arnes (a derogatory term for non-Muslims). We must become deputy, then the governor of Plateau. Implement Shari’a, Allahu Akbar.”

In another post, he insisted on unrestricted grazing rights for herders nationwide, writing:
“Fulani cows must be allowed to eat crops anywhere in Nigeria. We are citizens too. Government must allow free movement, no stealing of cows.”
Public Outcry and Call for Action
These posts have drawn widespread condemnation, with many Nigerians demanding urgent intervention by law enforcement agencies. Critics argue that Ubandoma’s statements constitute hate speech and openly threaten peace in Plateau, a state long plagued by ethnic and religious violence.
Analysts warn that unchecked rhetoric of this nature on social media could further inflame divisions in an already fragile region. Citizens are calling for stricter monitoring and swift prosecution of individuals who use online platforms to incite violence.
The big question remains: How long will authorities allow such provocative rhetoric to go unchecked—and what could this mean for Plateau’s fragile peace?
