  • Plateau State and Cocin Church

    Plateau State and Cocin Church

    EIGHT PLATEAU STATE AND COCIN CHURCH Can you imagine that when Dr. Karl Kumm and his con- temporaries came to the North of Nigeria in 1904, they were explicitly instructed by Lord Lugard not to evangelize the Muslims but to go to the Pagan tribes down the hills. These same Pagan tribes received the Gospel and brought education, hospitals, rural development and total civilization to the North. Today, they are [considered] enemies enough to be wiped out. How can we accept this? Alexander Lar, 20041 The [Muslim] North appears to have a messiah complex in the nation’s political life, always thinking: we alone can sal- vage Nigeria. Indeed, the Muslim North sees ruling Nigeria as their birth right. Yiljap Abraham, 20062 Plateau State is not only geographically central in Nigeria, but also in the ongoing struggle between Christians and Muslims. It is one of the two northern states in which Christians are in undis- 336 Studies in Christian–Muslim Relations puted majority,3 the other being Benue State. This has become more clearly the case since Nasarawa State was carved out of Plateau to establish a new state that was to be dominated by Muslims, even if their majority has not been established.4 In Plateau, that move greatly changed the proportion of Muslims to Christians in favour of the latter. As important as it is, Benue State has for a number of reasons not been involved in the Christian- Muslim struggle as has Plateau, though it undoubtedly is also a tar- get for Islamization. Though Plateau is no sharia state, there has been much turmoil there that most Christians and, certainly, COCIN, insist on closely associating with the struggle for sharia.
