 Jaws, a city that defines non-antiquity, modern mining and cosmopolitanism. In the depths of a giant nation that Nigeria is, among the rolling hills and landscapes lies the city of Jaws. A place whose history is as rich as the deposits of cositerites that is the mineral from which tin, which at the dawn of the 1900s due the exploitative attention of the British colonialists who leered in laborers from all the major tribes of Nigeria is derived. As the song rises over the picturesque plateau, it illuminates a land that has been shaped by the footprints of ancient civilizations and the imprint of colonial rule, forcing a unique natural tapestry that weighs together the stories of the not people and the legacy of British influence. Long before the arrival of the colonialists, the land that would come to be known as Nigeria was home to the enigmatic not people, skilled artisans whose exquisite terracotta sculptures still captivate the imagination of modern-day archaeologists. The not people thought to have thrived around 1000 before Christ in the vicinity of today's city of Jaws and the sprawling not valley which reaches far out to parts of Kaduna, indeed Quara, left behind a trail of mystery and mystery with the asserting disappearance in the late first millennium shrouded in the midst of time. The echoes of the not people lingered in the fertile soil of Jaws as indigenous ethnic groups predominantly farmers cultivated the land and forced their own traditions and ways of life. As the wheels of history turned, the British colonialists cast their gaze upon the beautiful land enticed by the discovery of vast deposit of cositerite, the primary awe for the production of tin, their layer of mineral wealth led to the establishment of Jaws as an important centre for tin mining, for ever altering the course of its history. The British, under the governance of direct rule, remember that the Fulani never conquered the aboriginals of the Benwe Plateau territory, made their presence felt in Jaws plateau, a marked divergence from the indirect rule they employed in the Fulani Emirates. As the colonialists set food on the soil of Jaws, a coalition of cultures unfolded with the indigenous ethnic groups navigating the complexities of a changing world while preserving the essence of their heritage. The ravings of everyday life intertwined with the cadence of colonial influence, shaping the trajectory of the metropolis which Jaws became and its people, and missed the backdrop of tin mines and trading hubs, just emerged as a testament to resilience, inclusivity and adaptation, a melting pot of tradition and transformation. The spirit of the not-people-found new expression in the midst of modernity, their legacy interwoven with the narrative of progress and perseverance, against the erupturing backdrop of rolling hills, the cities toured as a testament to the enduring spirit of its inhabitants who wove the fabric of their lives with threats of history and awe. In the art of Jaws, the history of resistance of tribal domination and millennia of anthropological artisanal must reconverge, creating a tapestry that captures the essence of a city-shaped by the forces of change and the echoes of the past.
