Igbos: Spare parts, timber shed, motor market, shops burnt*

Hausa: N2bn worth of cars *

Yoruba: 113 lives,house, businesses lost


All Nigerians, not just natives of Jos, capital of Plateau state, were victims of the last  November 27 described by the people as the worst ever in the city investigations have revealed.

Yet, another crisis may erupt in the city as the victims count their losses. To nip this in the bud, the victims are asking the federal and the state governments to come to their aid.

A survey of the city last Thursday by Saturday Vanguard indicates that the fear now is that the level of loss suffered by people may  lead to another crisis at the slightest excuse. They are therefore crying out for assistance.

Some of those asking for help are the Igbo, Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba and Benue citizens. Regrettably, most of the victims who were killed knew nothing about what went amiss.

A young man who lived around Rikkos area lost his life when the Hausa community burnt his house.

When asked to leave his house as a crowd was gathering because of the local government elections, the young man asked why he should run when he was not a politician and had nothing to do with the election. The house was burnt by the assailants. His young wife  and kids are now without a bread winner.

Many more examples abound of how people died innocently in the mayhem while those who managed to escape with their lives lost life investments and other property. For a number of others, it was multiple tragedies as they lost children, homes and business places all to the crisis.

Homes, shops, cars and other economic property were burnt, or destroyed on both sides in retaliatory moves designed to inflict as much pain as possible. Stories were told of when groups saw the destruction done to their own property or economic interests also mobilized and descended on those belonging to those believed to be responsible for their own loss.

The riot began along political party lines but took  ethno-religious dimension later, resulting in the death of over 500 people, with properties worth billions of naira burnt,  looted and destroyed.

And it is not only natives of the city that are counting their losses but all Nigerian of all ethnic groups.

That all Nigerian were victims of the loss could be gleaned from Laranto Market, hitherto a perfect setting of Nigerians from various parts, who together pursued their economic interests without let or hindrance.

This largest timber market, mostly run by the Igbo, also had the second hand clothing and large scale foodstuff business run by the Hausa-Fulani, the building materials shops,  run by the Igbo as well as the palm oil, small-scale foodstuff business, etc, which was a mix of Nigerians made the  place popularly known as ‘Katako’ bubble.

The Igbo also suffered serious losses in the crisis because many of their shops and businesses were targeted by the hoodlums during the riot. Apart from the timber shed in Katako which was completely razed, the second hand vehicle parts market at Farin Gada where they sold vehicle engines, spare parts and other things was attacked, torched and looted. Many of their shops in other places were also not spared.

Today, Laranto Market is now reduced to rubbles, more like an open field, as it was razed down and levelled in what could be described as mutually assured destruction or what in Nigerian parlance is called ‘do me, I do you’. It was learnt that victims of initial attacks fought back to ensure that they all suffered the pain.

Saturday Vanguard also gathered that the recent Jos  mayhem was worse than the September 7, 2001 version in terms of human and economic loss.

“The one that occurred in 2001 is nowhere near this. Many more lives were lost in this one and more property and businesses were destroyed”, Jude Sylvester, a businessman told Saturday Vanguard.

His view was supported by Mrs. Roseline Okonkwo, a petty trader at the destroyed Laranto market who said many businesses might have been permanently ruined unless assistance comes from government or from other quarters.

“Where do we begin from? Even the little money we had was left in the store and all were either burnt or looted. We have not even paid for some of the goods we collected that were destroyed. I don’t want to think about it”; she said amidst sobs.

Calls for compensation have been coming from various quarters to assist the victims to start life again.

Chairman of the second hand vehicle dealers association, Alhaji Yahaya Kega who said his members lost vehicles worth almost N2b in the mayhem urged both the Federal and State governments to come to their aid in view of the incalculable loss they suffered. The timber dealers in Laranto have also made a similar appeal.

Perhaps most pathetic is the situation of the Yoruba who got caught on all fronts of the divide and suffered heavy human and business losses in the crisis. Since the crisis took a religious dimension, the Yoruba who are almost equally divided along both religious lines were attacked from both sides.

Christian and Moslem Yoruba alike were attacked, killed and had their houses and property burnt.

According to President-General of the Yoruba Community Council in the state, Chief Toye Ogushuyi, the losses suffered by his people were heavy.   About 113 Yorubas, he said, lost their lives in the recent crisis.

He stated this at a meeting between Governor Jonah Jang and community and religious leaders on Wednesday saying most of their corpses have been taken to their states for burial.

With tears in their eyes, including the state Deputy Governor, Mrs. Pauline Tallen, Ogunshuyi narrated how his people were hacked down or burnt over a crisis they knew nothing about.

He said many of the victims were caught unawares because their assailants wore military uniforms. He said Yorubas were peace loving adding,“We have been carrying out legitimate businesses in Jos since 1891 and we built the first church in Jos but we have been living peacefully without fighting to rule Jos”.

The Yoruba leader said those who unleashed the violence should be identified and punished to restore the confidence of people in government’s ability to protect lives and property.

“We, the Yorubas, have suffered a great loss. Like I said at the meeting with the governor, over a 100 and something of our people have died, and they are both Moslems and Christians.

Houses and businesses were destroyed and right now we are collating the losses of our people to be sent to the governors of the Yoruba states for possible assistance. An elderly man of 72 years Alhaji Hassan had his house and business places burnt.

Another elderly Yoruba, Alhaji Alasinrin also lost four shops where he sold grains completely razed. This is not to talk of those who were killed indiscriminately whether they were Christians or Moslems,” he told Saturday Vanguard in an interview.

Ogunsuyi expressed disappointment with some members of the National Assembly whom he said had been making emotional outbursts based on ignorance and bias as if only a particular ethnic group or religion was affected.

“They should come here and see what our people suffered before making provocative statements that will only cause more problems,” he said.

As the crisis lasted in Jos, the nation was also seized by tension. Last Thursday, newly elected president of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Ralph Uwechue, in a telephone interview with Saturday Vanguard said the group is trying to get inventory of the Igbo affected by the crisis as it does not know the extent Igbo were affected in the mayhem.

Uwechue who served as both ex President Olusegun  Obasanjo’s Special Envoy on Conflict Resolution in Africa and as Head of the Economic Community of West African States Mission in Cote d’Ivoire (ECOMICI) said the group has therefore despatched some people to Jos, through various Igbo groups to take inventory of Igbo involvement in the crisis.

He added that Ohanaeze will decide on what action to take on the matter once the inventory is made, adding that the Igbo should project a common cause, and not to act on individual basis in the new dispensation.

How come it was the yoruba that lost most lives even more than the Jos indigenes?

what are the asterisks for, funmi

That Jos North must have many Yoruba too. Or maybe they were possibly targeted by the Hausa assailants
I have friend who lives by the Nassarawa area of JNorth. He told my how must of the victims were infact Hausa.

381 Muslims Massacred in Jos, Nigeria, With Complete Black Out of CNN-Fox

By Hassan El-Najjar

ccun.org, November 30, 2008


While US main corporate media units, particularly CNN and Fox TV stations, were 24-7 covering the Momnbai attacks, Muslims were massacred in the city of Jos, in Nigeria. In terms of the number of the victims, Nigerian Muslim victims were double of the number of the Indian victims.

In Iraq, dozens were also killed, and scores were injured, in addition to protests against the US-Iraqi security pact, which allows US forces to stay in Iraq three more years, meaning that the Iraq war may continue for the same period.

In Afghanistan, 61 Afghanis were massacred in just two days by US-led NATO and Afghani forces.

The Israeli brutal siege of Gaza Strip continues, punishing about 1.8 million Palestinians, who began to starve and who are living in darkness after the severe shortages of food and fuel supplies as a result of the Israeli occupation government siege.

The CNN-Fox continuous coverage of the Mombai attacks for the last five days was a golden opportunity to run away from the news they do not want the American people to know.

It has been a perfect example of how certain news are focused upon and others are ignored completely even if they are more important.

It is also an attempt to impose the defunct 'war on terror' on the Obama administration.

America is in need of a publicly-funded and independent TV network, which tells the American people the truth as it is, not as the special interest groups want it to be.

Hundreds die in fighting after Nigeria election

Agence France-Presse
Published: Saturday November 29, 2008
LAGOS (AFP) –

Hundreds of people were killed in the central Nigerian city of Jos when Christians and Muslims clashed over the result of a local election, witnesses said Saturday.

"I was at the central mosque this afternoon and I counted 378 dead bodies but just as I was about to leave, 3 more bodies were brought, a correspondent for Radio France Internationale in Jos, Aminu Manu, told AFP.

"Hundreds of people have been killed in the last two days since the riots started. Remains of burnt bodies litter some parts of the town; it is so terrible," Christian clergyman Yakumu Pam said.

Local Radio Plateau said the governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, had placed four districts of the city placed under a curfew and ordered police to fire on anyone who broke it following the clashes on Friday.

Aminu Manu said incidents of violence were still being reported in the city Saturday.

"So far over 10,000 people have been displaced from their homes and are now seeking refuge in churches, mosques and army and police barracks," a Nigerian Red Cross official in Jos said.

"I can't give any figures but there are dead bodies on the streets that are yet to be evacuated. We are afraid of an outbreak of an epidemic if they are allowed to decompose," he told AFP.

"In these places where people are taking refuge, there is no water and no food. We call on the Nigerian emergency management agencies to come to their aid," he added.

A brief government statement late Friday said that President Umaru Yar'Adua had sent in army troops to contain the situation.

Local residents said several churches and mosques were razed in the violence, which started with a rumour that the All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) had lost the election to the federal ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP).

The ANPP is perceived locally to be a predominantly Muslim party, and the PDP to be mainly Christian.

Jos is the administrative capital of Plateau state. It was the scene of a week of violence between Christians and Muslims in September 2001 that also left hundreds dead.

At Least 300 Dead in Post-Election Fighting in Nigeria, AP Says

By Ladka Bauerova

Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) --

At least 300 people have been killed in two days of post-election violence in Nigeria as mobs burned homes, churches and mosques, the Associated Press reported.

Authorities in the central Nigerian city of Jos imposed a round-the-clock curfew and sent troops to curb fighting between Hausa Muslims and Christians, AP said. The bodies of 300 victims were taken to the main mosque in Jos for prayers before burial, AP said, citing Sheikh Khalid Abubakar.

Violence flared yesterday after electoral workers failed to publicly post results of the first local election in Jos in more than a decade, AP said.

Nigeria: Dozens Killed in Jos LG Election Riot

All Africa.com (Lagos)

29 November 2008 Posted to the web 29 November 2008

Seriki Adinoyi Jos And Chinwe Ochu in Abuja

Dozens of people were feared dead yesterday owing to skirmishes in the Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State over the result of the council polls widely believed to have been won by the candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Barrister Timothy Gyang Buba.

Unconfirmed reports said the clashes between rival political gangs started late on Thursday leading to the death of several people in the city.

To stem violence and rising death toll, the state government imposed a dusk to dawn curfew starting at 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in the city, with the federal government expressing concern and condemning the incident in totality.

Two serving generals in the Nigerian Army, Major General Nick Agbogun and Brigadier General U.J. Uwurgbe, who arrived the city from the Chief of Army Staff conference in Bauchi State were shot at in a cross fire between political thugs who took over the streets of the city.

Eight students of the University of Jos, a policeman and a government house driver from Bauchi State were also feared killed in the riot.

Eyewitnesses said supporters of the All Nigerian People's Party (ANPP) allegedly became violent following speculations that their candidate, whom they said was leading the PDP candidate, was about to be "declared the loser."

The ANPP protesters said they were not fighting people but fighting government "because of their action." The results of the elections were still being collated when the crisis broke out.

Agency reports said youths with machetes hacked to death a policeman and burned tyres in one part of the city. Several mosques and churches were also reported to have been set ablaze.

Plumes of thick black smoke rose up over the Akpata neighbourhood. Some residents said several homes and shops were also set ablaze.

Declaring a dusk to dawn curfew, the state governor, Mr. Jonah David Jang, in a state wide broadcast said the problem was restricted to Jos city only

He said, "A few hours after the close of the election, a group of thugs took the law into their hands by attacking residents and destroying houses and property in some parts of Jos.

"The state's Security Council met to the early hours of this morning (yesterday) and directed the police to respond accordingly. I wish to warn that any further disruption of the peace will be met with drastic sanctions. The security details are under instruction to return fire-for-fire from any person or group disrupting the peace".

As at the time of this report, police patrol vehicles were seen evacuating some dead bodies from the streets, raising fears that many more bodies were yet to be recovered.

The Plateau State Police public relations officer, Mr. Bala Kassim confirmed that one police officer was killed in the violence.

Bodies of people killed during the violence were deposited at the Jos University Teaching Hospital, JUTH. About 50 injured people were also seen at JUTH.

Hundreds of residents of Jos North Local Government Area were said to have taken refuge at the MaxWell Khobe Cantonment, Rukuba Barracks in Bassa Local Government Area.

Reacting to the incident, the federal government assured residents of Jos North of "prompt intervention."

Minister of Information and Communication, Mr. John Odey, while receiving members of the House of Representatives Committee on Information in his office, said the government regarded the Jos violence as a ploy to undermine its reform programmes.

He said: "The federal government is sad and concerned about the violence in Jos Plateau State which has led to the loss of lives and property over the conduct of the on-going local government elections.

"The government views the violence trailing the election as unfortunate and a ploy to undermine the reform programme of the administration. The president is sad; the federal government is concerned about lives and property in the state as well as in other states of the federation.

"It is necessary for politicians as well as the electorate to appreciate the importance of working together and ensuring absolute peace, without which there can be no development. We urge security agencies in the state to bring the situation under control as quickly as possible."

Also, the president's Special Adviser on Communications, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi gave assurances that "The president is on top of the situation having been fully briefed on the phone by the governor."

He added that the president has met with relevant security chiefs after which he directed that the military be deployed to the affected areas to curb the crisis.

"The president feels very sad about the violence and all the relevant government agencies have been placed on alert to take care of the injured and displaced people."

Meanwhile, the Arewa Consultative Forum has appealled to the warring parties to sheathe their swords and allow peace to rein in the interest of peaceful coexistence and core values of humanity that are sine qua non for the pursuit of liberty, justice, worship and prosperity.

The ACF through an e-mail forwarded by it national publicity secretary, Mr. Anthony N. Z. Sani said Nigeria has in place enough judicial mechanisms for peaceful resolutions of perceived injustices, to which all aggrieved citizens are expected to address their grievances, rather than resort to taking the law into their hands.

"Differences in ethnicity, of faiths and in party platforms or ideology are facts of this nation's reality. What is required of every law-abiding citizen is for him/her to accept the reality of one united Nigeria in diversity: love it and make the most of the diversity's possible good," the forum stated.

ACF sent out it condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones and properties, or got wounded, in the course of the skirmishes.

It appealed to the people of Jos to allow the spirit of forgiveness to prevail, as enjoined by God/Allah "who has the capacity to replace the losses many fold."

The hausa jihadist have learnt their lessons from what happened to them in the last genocide. They can burn down Igbo owned shops but are afraid to tamper with any Igbo life. . . lol.
I knew that the noise about why the Igbos must pay higher taxes, educate the almajiri jihadists that doesnt want to go to school and not revenge when slaughtered for nothing wouldnt be the talk of the day if Igbos were killed and shipped back to onitsha as they usually did it in the past. The talk of the day would have been; how did the Igbos manage to fish out and slaughter the jihadist hiding in barracks and government houses.

Words to my Iweka and Aba boys; cool temper for now, burnt material things are not worth wasting anybody's life. Leave it until next time.

You are such a Tool, a Tool you got that.
You talk with such subjectivity that you fail to grasp the real underlying issues.

Yes yes yes.

I was in the North during the fight.  Igbos lost their lives too but Hausas were worst hit followed by Yorubas, then Jos Indigenes and Igbos etc,  The Igbos were able to mobilize themselves against the muslems.  The muslims made an attempt to burn down the Seminary School and if they had succeeded hundreds of those students (mostly Igbo children) would have been slaughtered,  but they had to retreat when they saw how Igbo boys mobilised themselves to defend the Seminary School.  Though, Igbos suffered huge loss because their properties were burnt but it seems the Hausas suffered more loss because Jos indigenes and some Igbo traders Joined forces together to burn down their properties in different locations as a retaliatory measure.

All the same both sides suffered a lot but Hausas suffered most. But as for properties, Igbos and Hausas were worst hit.

My subjectivity arose from the fact that my objectivity for years have cost the heads of my innocent brothers for years.
However, im very much aware that my subjectivity which is the only solution for these genocide is a short term remedy. The long term remedy, would be fair justice, efficient law and order and of course mass literacy for the nigerian masses.
But until then, do me i do you; "god' no go vex.

Wallahi HIM go "vex",
But I hear exactly what you are saying, but continual slaughtering will not be the answer.
See as your long term remedy is really not a remedy, but a cure for this disease that has crippled Naija

They're plenty Hausa in Ghana, but they would not have the balls to try such a thing there.
We need to put more stringent laws in place to catch these purpotrators.

But more importantly we need educate our Nigerian brothers in the northen tip
Say no to Sharia Law, and yes to western-styled education. Freedom to the people, censorship is wrong and should be outright banned.

I was watching a youtube video about the Kano censorship board. They claim that they will only allow books that children can read to be sold in Northern Nigeria. This is outright control and manipulation!

They're plenty Hausa in Ghana, but they would not have the balls to try such a thing there.
We need to put more stringent laws in place to catch these purpotrators.

Because they are minorities in Ghana. If they try it there, they will be wiped off the surface of that nation.

Nuzo, lol I concur. Our boiz should just cool down. Let em try display their stupidity again. I commend the Beroms for mobilizing with Igbos in defending themselves. That's what we should expect whenever these almajiris go on their killing spree of non-hausas in any part of middlebelt or north.

Stupid immigrant tribe attacking people in their own land. Until we see a non Hausa run and win election in Kano, Zamfara without any wahala the Hausas should shut up an do like the Igbos, Yorubas are doing. STAY OUT OF LOCAL POLITICS OF PLATEAU.

Seeu,

I hear na so I heard. They no sabi say Igbos don learn lesson well on how to deal with Fulani murderers.

Another ugly legacy of the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970). Then the Hausa/Fulani gangs of marauding murderers targeted Igbo sons and daughters. The inept government of the day, like the one we have today, refused to protect Igbos in their own country, Nigeria. The pogrom against Igbos continued and not a single person was held responsible. The useless government of Yakubu Gowon was so weak that blood-thirsty Hausa/Fulani hoodlums and soldiers used government materiel to continue the failed genocide against the Igbos.

Today, the Hausa/Fulani killing squad is still intact and no government has ever punished this trans-generational cabal of killers. They have over the decades expanded their killing appetite to the Yorubas. After 40 years of targeting Igbos, it seems Igbos have learned to protect themselves from this old foe. If the Nigerian government cannot protect Igbos and Yorubas against this 40-year old evil in Northern Nigeria, I recommend and support Igbos and Yorubas to take up arms (machine guns, assault rifles, grenades, bombs, biological/chemical agents, WMD, etc.) in self-protection. They must fight back and kill off this most dastardly legacy of a civil war that only emboldened the blood-thirsty cabal of murderers made up of Muslims of Hausa/Fulani extraction!

Illiteracy with stupidity combine with "I DONT CARE" government will distroy Nigeria, which its doing already,

What are you? Al Qaeda?

lol @ are u alqaida

Abeg where are the Igbo scientists? I think its bout time to get the Ogbunigwe bombs ready for them. lol

earTHMama:

What are you? Al Qaeda?

What do you mean? You have a government that is not interested in protecting Igbos (and other southerners) from blood-thirsty marauding murderers in Northern Nigeria and you question my call for self-defense? What are the options left for Igbos and other southern ethnic groups and non-Muslim northern ethnic groups? Avoid doing in business in the North? Aren't we in One Nigeria? Allow Hausa/Fulani gangs of murderers to slaughter Igbos?

I will support the development of modern ammunition factories in Aba, Onitsha and Awka. These factories would be headed by battle-tested engineers of Igbo extraction from the United States and Russia. The factories should be funded by the governments of the South-Eastern states. Volunteers would be trained in the art of confronting Hausa/Fulani killers and effectively neutralizing them. The self-defense training schools and the factories would work in tandem to learn effective ways of decimating Hausa/Fulani killers who utilize any excuse to kill Igbos and Yorubas in the North. After five years of producing modern defense equipment and training civilian rapid response squads, future confrontations with Hausa/Fulani killers would prove costly for the old foe.

When you have an inept government that refuses to protect her citizens and quick to come and offer prayers after innocent civilians, including women and children, have been massacred, then it is incumbent on the citizens to protect themselves from the Hausa/Fulani killers.

You are mourning more than the bereaved. More Yorubas were killed in Jos compared to a few igbos that are too little to count.

See your head! If I was there with you I would have spanked that your big ikebe.

The point is that those hoodlums always resort to murderous violence when they are aggrieved. I'm not keeping tabs of who lost more people, all I'm interested in is punishing those hoodlums so bad, that they'll think twice before resorting to murderous violence next time. This has gone on for over 40 years and it's high time it is stopped!

Solve the problem of the stifling Poverty In the North & Ethnic Strife will be at an end.

Those Hausa/Fulani youths need to question their elite who are stupendously rich.

If the their economic class improves across the board, u'll see a situation where Hausa/Fulani middles class will spread across the country to earn a livelihood.
As opposed to the candy/cigarette selling mai-guards, cattle herdsmen, shoemakers, Okada riders and those irritating Chadian motor park beggars.

If i were an unemployed H/F youth and i know that by fueling ethnic strife in the north, a relative in the south that feeds me is gonna get offed in retaliation, i'll think twice before i act.

Hoodlums don't think at all, how do you expect them to think twice?

the climax of dis case is that those who instigated this crisis shod be prosecuted even d law-makers who has a hand in this act. i strongly suggest that their (lawmakers in jos constituency) duty-post be taken from them because they didnt exercise their level of education to handle and resolve such a matter as this. This indicate dat they didnt value their God-gifted talents in resolving d matter instead it was throw in d bin (meaning worthless to them). Its very dangerous to refresh wat happen in d past to d present

So their lack of unity is a viable reason to massacre them at any slightest opportunity?

So now you guys agree with me when i say the typical northerner is dumb. Does this titan, wateva realise he just spoke blasphemy against other nigerians. Lets break it down dude. You guys are the poorest most diseased conservative oppressed slave minded people. You think if not for nigeria you'd be here talking with us. I can't even post any serious reply cause you won't comprehend. (if you know what that means sef). The south (middle belt inclusive) are simply higher grades of human species compared to you obsolete prototypes. See him talking of western education being a form of tyranny how have your brothers kept power this long i guess through popular demand. Well i got news for you we'll soon be breaking up watch as you guys will become another chad republic. Your brothers in the sixties were even better than you oil hungry guys now. Nl please could somebody ban this cow

The cheap drugs you are taking is affecting you negatively, you better stop it and try a better one.

I don't blame the hausa/fulani people, i really blame the middle belt indigenes who initiated and fought a war for the hausas. i hope Yakubu Gowon is seeing his one nigeria now? God is giving him what he gave to the igbos in 1966 - 1970. The same hausa people that he ganged up with and fought a war against the igbos are now fighting and killing his (Gowon) people.
