 Today is Strobak, origin of the Burom people. In the backdrop of the sadistic and terroristic carnage that was recently perpetrated or committed on the plateau, where almost 200 human lives were brutally cut down, it is imperative to shine a synoptic historical touch on the plateau. The Burom are mainly found in the present day plateau state, where they are the majority tribe and part of southern Cardinal, they speak the Burom language and are part of the Niger-Kungo linguistic family. The Burom have been linked to the Nox civilization, a civilization that dates back between 200 BC to 1000 AD. They are believed to have migrated from as far away as Ethiopia, moving to Sudan, Chad, then to Niger, where they settled for a while before moving down to just plateau. They were recorded to be the first to settle on the just plateau. The majority of Buroms are Christians and most of them are farmers and hunters. The Burom have been a major activity and names in Burom reflect their origin heritage, names such as bot, meaning fog, top, meaning fish, suck, meaning toad. The Buroms were historically ruled in their villages by the Council of Elders, who were led by a chief priest called Gomkwit. The Council of Elders settled marital issues, the greatest concerning land and inheritance amongst other disputes. Around 1916, this tool of bong-gong jaws was established by the colonial office in conformity with the cost-saving, divide-and-rule British colonial administrative method, often used to monitor and control the activities of colonized people.
