	Nigeria: TARABA STATE - Taraba State (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Taraba State, with its numerous small ethnic groups and remote location, was a particularly neglected and grossly underdeveloped part of the former Gongola State.
		Because of its rugged topography, lack of access roads from other parts of the country, and indeed, the neglect it suffered from past administrations, the state still remains largely peripheral to the nation's economic and political life.
		The need to diffuse centres of economic growth and draw the peripheral population into the mainstream of the nation's economy, which are among the important reasons adduced to justify state creation exercises in the country, are therefore most relevant to Taraba State.

		Governor Jolly Nyame, governor of Taraba State has transformed the state from a place nobody wanted to be into a model state full of modern day amenities.

		When Nyame was first elected governor of the state in 1991, Taraba State was a place which provided no form of attraction to visitors and even indigenes of the state resident outside.

		Taraba is environed with palm-groves and gardens, watered by numerous rivulets; near it are some inconsiderable hills, at the foot of which the Arabs cultivate durra and barley: the inhabitants are of the Begoum tribe, and their Sheikh is Ibn Korshán.
		The Begoums had enclosed Taraba with a wall, and constructed some towers: at present a Turkish garrison is stationed here, this being a principal position and the grand thoroughfare between Nedjed and Yemen.
		It is a journey of at least four days from Beishe to the district of Zohran: all the Arabs from Taraba to Beishe, and from thence westward, are cultivators or agriculturists; those due south and east, are Bedouins, or wandering Nomades.

	Genocide and Nigerian Arrny massacre of Tiv civilians in central Nigeria.
		The claim has been that Tiv people who reside in Nasarawa and Taraba states are there as settlers or immigrants or non-indigenous and must therefore relocate to present day Benue State where a large number of Tiv people live, losing all their ancestral farmlands.
		The Tiv further alleged that elements of 4 motorised battalions of the Nigerian army based in Takum, Taraba State are backing their Jukun militia with the approval of Nigeria's Minister of Defence, retired Lt. General Yakubu Danjuma, who is a Jukun.
		Since this settlement is 100% Tiv population, Taraba State rejected them and since then they have been subjected to constant attacks and ethnic cleansing by Jukun militia backed by the army.

		Jolly Nyame has not only impoverished and destroyed the state but proved to be a failure for his inability to transformed and developed Taraba given the enormous resources allocated to the state.
		As we speak, all that Nyame's government can be associated with today in Taraba are tales of corruption, improper conduct, collapse of government institutions and abandoned projects like the Taraba State Hospital in Jalingo, Taraba State Housing estate, Taraba State Presidential Lodge, Taraba State Sport complex, Taraba Airport among many others.
