*The 2014 study "The 1964 Tiv Riot; Inter-Partisan Perspectives" by Haa-Orpin Tersoo delves into the 1964 Tiv Riot in Nigeria, exploring the perspectives of Tiv indigenes, the Northern People's Congress (NPC), and United Middle Belt Congress (UMBC) members. It uncovers deep-rooted political and ethnic tensions that fueled the conflict, with effects still lingering today. The recent tragic killing of 200 people in Benue (June 2025) painfully echoes this history, signaling a troubling repetition of past unrest. It’s time to break this cycle! Solutions include fostering open dialogue between communities and government, promoting inclusive governance to address marginalization, strengthening security measures to prevent violence, and educating the youth about historical conflicts to build a culture of peace. Let’s unite for a safer, harmonious Nigeria!*
