This is getting worse daily. What is the way out? Even the traditionalist dont cause this much trouble. Why must it be always xtians vs muslims? Are these the only religion in Nigeria that they keep killing each other. I just hope that the casualty is not much.

Ajpharm: What is the way out?

revert back to Traditional Religions.

benifits:

- All tribes will be united on religious grounds.

-yet each tribe/ethnic group will maintain its own independence of identity.

- it will wipe out our scars.

-religious tolerance.

- 0 extremism and religious terrorism.

- 0 tithing and other such religious extortion.

- saves our cultures and idenitities.

-maintainance of strong National identity and tribal pride.

- saving of environment and resources.

-progress and development.

-reduction of crimes: some religions such as Ifa Orisha, etc., do not permit liars to be initiated. doing so can have deadly consequences to the liar, due to the large number of oaths,etc., involved before the Spiritual Forces/ Gods.
-etc . .

When did all this violence start? Nigeria is 53yrs and both religions have been living together for that long. Why did all these start recently?

Even if we go back to our roots. There will still be violence. Violence is a personal thing, a thing of the mind. Whether you are a xtian or muslim, you act the way you do on a personal basis.

so are you saying r.ape, murder, robbery, etc. of non-religious type doesnt exist

atleast we will be able to do away with religion-based crimes. there is nothing to lose. only gain.

i was just waiting to hear what led to the crisis,knowing fully well that its traditional with northern muslims to fight,they can hardly stay a quarter of a year in a place,without causing havoc!it is a quarterly rituals performed by Hausa Fulani northern muslims!whenever they are armed-up,they try to cause one problem or the other,either they say the Koran was desecrated,their mosque was defiled,or one suya man sold pig meat to them or that USA is about to attack the islamic rep.of Iran or that a pamphlet was seen with a christain that insults Mohammed!infact islam in the North is a time-bomb always waiting to explode!!!what a people.

THE NEWS
Taraba: 8 Die, 40 Injured in Wukari
Religious Riot
At least eight persons have been confirmed
dead and over 40 others lying critically ill in
various hospitals in Wukari, Taraba State,
following a religious riot which broke out in
the early hours of yesterday.
The riot led to the disruption of traffic along
the busy Jalingo-Katsina Ala road linking the
South-eastern part of the country with the
North-east.
The crisis was said to have been ignited as
a result of the siting of a mosque at the
divisional police headquarters located in the
local government council area headquarters
complex.
Piqued by the development, some Christian
youths , according to the police
commissioner, Aliyu Musa, who confirmed
the story to journalists, embarked on the
demolition of the mosque and this led to a
reprisal action by other moslems, leading to
massive destruction of lives and properties.
Eye witness stated that the entire streets of
Wukari have been deserted as a result of
the violence and the people have began to
seek refuge in the neighbouring towns and
villages. "As I am talking to you now, the
town is on fire. All schools and shops have
been closed and most of our people have
begun to move out of the town for safety"
About five mosques and three churches,
were said to have been set ablaze by the
youths, believed to be armed to the teeth,
chanting war songs. Fears are being
expressed over the safety of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members
presently camping in Wukari Local
Government Council of the state for the
three weeks orientation .
Meanwhile, the Taraba State Police
Command, has mobilised about three trucks
of mobile policemen fully armed to the
trouble zone which is about 220 kilometers
from the state capital
Confirming the development, the State
Police Commissioner said “as you have just
seen, about a unit of mobile and general
duty policemen are now on their way to
Wukari.
“I am sending these mobile men there to
increase the strength of the ones on ground
so as to bring the situation under control.”

Re: Religious Crisis In Wukari, Taraba State!!! by Parishpriest1: 7:23pm On Feb 23, 2013
@Op, you guys (corp members) should leave those barbarians and fled for your dear lives tomorrow. To hell with NYSC. The truth is that, this isn't yet over, because there will be counter attacks from both parties and who bears the brunts? Your guess is as good as mine. Those mammals up north are the scum of this earth. Someone should tell them that this is 2013.
