One of the stars of Mo Abudu's Naija Diamonds Season 2 which held in 2012, Joshua Adah, was hacked to death in Taraba State on January 23rd by Fulani Herdsmen. According to reports, Joshua, who is a father of two and had a ministry in Taraba where he provided medicine and clothing for hundreds of poor people in his community, was returning to his mission station in Bantaje, a
village near Jalingo, from an evangelistic outreach to some villagers
when his vehicle broke down along the
Wukari-Jalingo road. He was then attacked by ethnic Fulani cattlemen., who had invaded Christian communities a week before. Continue...
Pastor Adah, a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, decided to live in Taraba after he was posted there in 2002 upon finishing his university. He met his wife there and also saw what children of the poor were going through in the community and decided to stay behind and help improve their lives. He left city life and moved to a remote village with his family, where he built a school in a round hut that provided free
education to a student population that grew to more than 400 pupils. He also provided shelter, food and money to impoverished families and this is how they take his life.
He's survived by a wife and two young children. May his soul rest in peace, amen.

Na wa o. That's why people are discouraged from helping all these alamajiris' and homeless kids here in the north. The day any crisis starts, they will start stoning u, calling u an infidel. Anyway, its their loss, and heaven's gain. May his soul find ever lasting peace, Amen.
And after you want a Muslim fulani man that has got lots of F9 in his result to come and rule Nigeria! Mbanu! Let him go and rule his fulani brothers with the "caliphate" carved out by his BH foot soldiers! Even if GEJ is horrible, which is obviously a western media controlled propaganda, let him continue!
Eyaaa .. May his soul rest in peace....
Haba!! But why evil? This is so sad. This is how they pay him for his humanitarian works. May his soul rest in peace.
Linda he is my Hubby's friend, he was killed by Book boys not Fulani herdsmen. RIP sir.
Hmmm. God be the judge
A very sad tail...
Africa, my Africa
Africa of proud warriors in ancestral savannahs
Africa of whom my grandmother sings
On the banks of the distant river
I have never known you
But your blood flows in my veins
Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields
The blood of your sweat
The sweat of your work
The work of your slavery
Africa, tell me Africa
Is this you, this back that is bent
This back that breaks
Under the weight of humiliation
This back trembling with red scars
And saying yes to the whip under the midday sun
But a grave voice answers me
Impetuous child that tree, young and strong
That tree over there
Splendidly alone amidst white and faded flowers
That is your Africa springing up anew
Springing up patiently, obstinately
Whose fruit bit by bit acquires
The bitter taste of liberty.
God avenge his death .....R.I.P to him my sympathies to the family and loved ones

There are things which are unwritten taboo in our national life. We know it is there, and actually embodies our number one problem, but nobody mentions it or raises it as an issue: The Fulani in whatever guise; herdsmen or soldiers are gradually dragging our basic humanity down the sewage! Tell me, what will we tell two innocent kids when they grow up, about how their father died. May this man's kind soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.

Imagine wot d fulanis ar doing to our ppl nd some idiots still want to vote them into office Tufiakwa. Gej till aboki start to speak good english
Later somebody will tell me that Aboki wants development. I pity for any christian that will vote Buhari
Linda you have made my day by posting this story, I knew Joshua, I went to ABU and also served in Taraba..he really was a great guy with a heart of gold. His death came as a shock and i have been grieving ever since especially for his wife and lovely daughters. My heart still skips a beat each time i remember it.
I feel all of us that knew him failed him, why would he have a car that breaks down, despite knowing he was a missionary I never sent his ministry money after leaving Taraba. Infact all my service mates i have contacted are all sad, grieving and posting on FB yet even they don't have his number!!
Please if someone on your team can send a number I can use in contacting his wife, I will truly appreciate it. clarascornerng@gmail.com
I'm suddenly your fan, God bless you Linda!!
May the Lord deal with these evil perpetrators however so severely
may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

To be honest,we the south have no business with uncivilized northerners...those barbarians have refused to understand that we are no more in the stone age...I believe in the Unity of my country but,things like this and the hundreds of lives that get wasted by these fools,make me believe that,separation is better for Nigeria as a country...dat might be the only solution 4peace....

Wow am short of words kind of people that deserved national award may his soul RIP Amen
THIS IS WHY WE CAN,T LET BUHARI BACK INTO THE ASO ROCK FELLOW NIGERIANS. THIS BLOODY FULANI HERDSMEN MUST BE BANNED FROM THIS COW GRAZING ALL OVER. A LAW MUST BE PROMULGATED IN OUR CONSTITUTION TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO BE REARING ANIMALS BY ROAMING ALL OVER NIGERIA. THEY MUST BE STOPPED. THIS IS 2015 AND THERE ARE BETTER WAYS OF REARING COWS(GRAZING). THEY MUST BE FORCED TO GO TO SCHOOL LIKE WHAT GEJ IS DOING BY ESTABLISHING ALMAJIRI SCHOOLS. THIS IS IGNORANCE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. THIS IS WHAT BUHARI AND HIS LIKES ARE PROMOTING. I AM SINCERELY SHEDDING TEARS FOR THE YOUNG MAN AND ESPECIALLY FOR HIS YOUNG FAMILY. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WE CANNOT BE STUCK IN THIS BARBARIC WORLD FOREVER. I SAY WE MUST MOVE ON WITH THE DIGITAL AGE. IS NOT ABOUT APC MY PEOPLE. THEY MADE THE WRONG CHOICE WITH BUHARI. IS ABOUT US NIGERIANS. FOR HOW LONG SHALL WE BE HELD DOWN AND SOMETIMES BACK LIKE THE BAGA EXPERIENCE EVEN IF GEJ IS NOT PRUDENT ENOUGH. WHAT WARRANTS THIS. WHAT IS THE CRIME FOR BEING, BELIEVING OR THINKING DIFFERENTLY. MAY GOD HELP US.
but seriously!!! Fulani heardsmen are they above the law? does the law still exists?
I celebrate him. He fought the good fight. He completed his mission as instructed by God. To God be the glory.
It's so sad how d good die young n d wicked just continue to live,dere r far richer n more influential men in taraba who hv done nothing 4 dia ppl,see TY Danjuma 4 instance,yet ds poor man milks himself 4 d good of his ppl n see how he got paid back...hmm dere r some things we'll neva get to understand till dat day wen we'll see our Saviour face to face

Your killers must never go unpunished.
O Jesus!
Wot a world after all his done for the community for his life to be taken dis way.hmmmmm. There is God oooooo.
This is hearbreaking. What did this missionary do to deserve such a painful end by these fulani herdsmen? So painful because nobody will be prosecuted for this murder.The fulani herdsmen have been terrorizing innocent nigerians for a long time.They have metamorphosed into the bokoharam of today.God help nigeria
May his soul rest in peace
Kai Linda, this is so sad! may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace and i trust he is in the Lords bosom right now.
