Let me educate you, since you're so ignorant.

How to identify a moderator 101
1. Go to the poster's profile page.
2. Look at the item tagged "Position" (usually the third item)
3. Does it say "Moderator"?
4. If yes, then the poster is a moderator. Example kosovo, our Politics moderator:5. If no, then the poster is not a moderator. Example RichyBlack, our former Politics moderator:
So, the whole world now knows that you're just another attention LovePeddler with no knowledge of how to identify a moderator. You're truly sick to think that a poster with position "Active Poster" and one with "Moderators" are both moderators. If you do not know how to identify a moderator why not ask, instead of displaying your insolent stupidity on a public forum!



On the contrary sir. . . I present a very simple evidence that support my claims. smiley

@ElRazur,

You're a poor student. Your foolish pride has blinded you to learning simple things. I just finished giving your dumb a.s.s a crash course on "How to identify a moderator", yet you're still displaying this kind of ota akara mindset. Na you sabi.

Why not just bring down that your foolish pride and ask the simple question: So, if you're not a moderator then why is your name still on the Foreign Affairs section as a moderator?

But, I know that the insolent pride in your small head will not allow you just ask and be educated. Na to dey do gragra like elephant way piss dey catch you dey do. Otemu!

Student? I don't mind been called one, but who am I learning from.   .    .    . You?  shocked Don't make me laugh in pidgin. For the record, I am going by what is up on the screen. Please using your almighty knowledge, can you tell me how many people here go around clicking on a poster to check if they are a moderator - when their name is already up on the screen that they are one?

Why not just bring down that your foolish pride and ask the simple question: So, if you're not a moderator then why is your name still on the Foreign Affairs section as a moderator?

Your prerogative, not mine. There was never a need for me to ask since your name was up on the screen. Get it?

Well, you've been on NL for some time, so I'll suggest that for the sake of knowledge (if that means anything to you - though I doubt it), go and ask any of the other moderators, including our dear kosovo, the super moderator or the site owner if RichyBlack is still a moderator. I challenge you.

There is something really sad about stuffing one's brain with wrong information. Just try to get the facts, you know, it may just help salvage what's left of your credibility.

The rioting began Sunday, when angry Muslim youths attacked and set fire to a church, said Gregory Yenlong, a state government spokesman. Yenlong said he did not know why the young men set the blaze. “That’s what’s being investigated,” he said.

Why is it that many of these Muslims in the north, enjoy burning churches? Do they think burning down buildings was invented by "angry Muslim youths"?
Re: 5,000 Displaced After Violence In Nigeria by edoyad(m): 10:31am On Jan 19, 2010
@richyblack, that's what they've been instructed to do by their preachers. Characteristically they burn down these buildings thinking the owners would vacate the territory after such hostilities. Their ancestors did same when raiding villages and stealing lands from the original occupants.
Re: 5,000 Displaced After Violence In Nigeria by londoner: 10:33am On Jan 19, 2010
If a muslim man was prevented from building his house, thats bad. However if from that muslims burned churches, then they took the aggression to the higher level. They escalated it, and probably on purpose.

When someone is being stopped from building you go to court, you dont try and provoke wider spread problems/violence by burning a church.

Were the people trying to stop the muslim members of that church? Were they comnected in any way? Sorry, but too many Muslims in Nigeria  will jump on any chance to instigate  wider spread mayhem.

Sorry, some people are just bloodthirsty and too quick to anger.

It is a psychological thing i.e burning down what they perceive as representation of something they disagree with. This in turn gives the other party a damage mentally etc. If you look up on history as well Romans burns quite a few books when they invaded a place, when nations go to war, they literally flatten each other down.

to hell with you northerners! to hell with cows in human flesh! GOD will for ever punish you for the problems you inflict on the rest of peaceful loving nigeria! you created enermity withing other tribes in nigeria and where by carrying out your killings and lootings in such a helious way. do you think you hausas/ fulanis are wise, the queen of the white devils land that has been cursed on the face of the earth handed over power to you fools just because they wanted to continue looting nigeria, its not that you maruders/ al-majiris are the rightful people to rule  and take nigeria to the promise land or to have its place in the commitee of the world.

well they succeded in their plan because you hausa/fulani has taken nigeria to hell with you. upon all the lootings you idiots can not develop ur area. what do we see! just the millions of useless hausa/fulanis given births to millions of almajiris which the northern elites use to carry out their helious crime against other tribes in the name of islam.

is this what islam is all about? is this what ur mohammed thought you killing other people because they did not convert into islam, a religion which the sinful arabs brought to the world!. enough is enough even at this point in time that one of your international almajiris in the name of mutallab drags the world attention to the crime of which is natural to you hausa/fulani( killing, looting and terrorism to humanity.) in nigeria.

come what may be! nigeria will never divide but you hausa/fulani will withness a progressive nigeria and shame will for ever be unto you killers angry angry angry angry angry

Islam irritates me. If not for some of my friends in the south west who are muslims i would have hated every muslim with a passion. You can imagine what would have happened if it was a christian that attempted blowing up a plane on an Islamic celebration. They kill,molest and destroy at the slightest provocation all in the name of God. Shame on their leaders.

Burnt building during the crisis in Jos

The crisis that engulfed the Plateau State capital of Jos on Sunday started at Dutse Uku on the city outskirts when Christian youth tried to stop a Muslim man from renovating his house that was destroyed in the November 2008 riot, according to Alhaji Kabir Muhammad, the man at the center of the storm.
Speaking to our reporter in Jos yesterday, Alhaji Kabiru said, “During the 2008 crisis [in Jos], my house was burnt and I had to relocate elsewhere while I started renovating it gradually. By weekend, I had reached the level where I was going to put on the decking. The residents in my area had earlier volunteered to help me when I come to put on the decking. Therefore yesterday (Sunday, January 17th) people came to the site to help in putting on the decking. We did a significant level of the work when the sand finished, so I rushed to Yan’ Tifa [area] and ordered two trucks of sand.”

He continued, “When the driver went for the second round to supply the sand, I saw from afar that some people were stoning the people in the tipper truck, while the people in the truck too were stoning them. I went down there to see what was happening, and they told me that they were insulting them. Many people gathered there and consoled the tipper men and everybody dispersed. Then the person that was stoning the people in the truck went and told his people that he was beaten by some Hausa youths and before you know it, a mob gathered at the site where I was renovating my house and demanded that we should stop the work. I then realized that the situation might become uncontrollable, so I rushed with my car to call soldiers who were posted at Yan Trailer [garage].

“Even before I got there, someone had informed them because they were already in their van heading towards the area. So I turned back and followed them. When we arrived at my house with the soldiers, the people popularly known as Yan Kasa [i.e. natives] demanded that the renovation work should be stopped. One particular Bajari man was the one that insisted that I must halt the work. I explained to the soldiers that I had already started this work when they proposed that the work should be stopped so that the matter can be resolved. One of the soldiers even collected my number and said that about five of us will go and sit down to resolve the matter. Then all of a sudden, we saw one Achaba boy [commercial motorcyclist] heading towards us with blood all over him. Someone was pushing his motorcycle, then another old man followed suit with similar injuries. I told my people to station the two victims so that they can serve as witnesses to us. So I asked the workers to stop the work, but the workers insisted that we must continue with work since we had already mixed the cement, sand and stone.

“I told them that they should stop the work since I was the one that bought the cement, but they refused. So the soldiers said that they should continue the work with the cement that was mixed and when they finish it, they should then stop. But before you know it, we saw a group of youths from afar and they started stoning us. We later heard that they had set up a road block around Baptist area and they were beating people. So we all dispersed. That is as far as I can remember.”

Asked if the Yan Kasa youth had told him why he must stop his renovation work, Alhaji Kabir said, “Yes, they said that they don’t want any Muslim to come back to that area again. That is what they said, that no Muslim should return to that area.” He was also asked if any Muslims live in the area, and he said, “There are some Muslims, but my house happens to be at the boundary which separates our area from their area.  Down inside the area there were Muslims. There are even some that renovated their houses and returned during the [Ramadan] fasting period, but my house happens to be at the boundary and there are no Muslims there.”

Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad also denied claims that the trouble started because he encroached upon someone else’s land while renovating his house. He said, “I have heard many versions of this incident, but this is the first time I am hearing this. I have been living in that area for over twenty years. It is not even a new house. It is an old house that was burnt during the 2008 crisis. I am just trying to renovate it. There is no truth in this allegation and like I said, this is the first time I am hearing this.”

Meanwhile, Minister of Police Affairs Dr Ibrahim Yakubu Lame said in Abuja yesterday that the police have been directed to fish out and bring to book those behind Sunday’s latest mayhem in Jos.  

He said at the police force headquarters Abuja while commissioning new trucks and motorcycles that those behind the violent crisis in Jos and other upheavals in all parts of the country and their sponsors will no longer have any place to hide, as the police have been given orders to fish them out by all means and prosecute them.

Lame said the police will go after those responsible for the violence, no matter how highly placed in the society, in order to put a permanent stop to wanton destruction of lives and property. He blamed such incidents on some highly placed individuals in the society and vowed that government will not allow them to destroy the economic and social fabric of the nation.

Re: 5,000 Displaced After Violence In Nigeria by londoner: 10:57am On Jan 19, 2010
@farouqb, Oh I see, so this time it was escalated by the natives/Christians?

I see now. Still, it should have been brought to court/police instead of taking it further. Its time for people in Nigferia to exhaust peaceful solutions rather than wanting to battle at every small thing.

Imagine, a whole crisis has started over people throwing stones at eachother. We really lack civilisation in Nigeria.

@londoner,
u ar living in dreams land.ideally yes,but in reality,that is not in place.an igbo man can never b governor in a  northern state no matter how many yrs he has lived there,and vice versa.d action of d xtian youths was borne out of d hausa moslems attitude towards them.he was not allowed to refurbish his house,for that they took laws into their hands just like they always do in defence of their nonsence religion
i suspect u ar a moslem,thats y u believe this crap by moslem reporters n newspaper.londoner is not a person's name so unmask urself.
let me tell u since u dont know wot is going on.plateau is d only northern state that is not under the control of the moslems/terrorists because of the population of xtians in the state,so they want to use every means possible including violence to gain control because as animals n evil minded they are they dont value human lives.d precious life of a xtian wasted by these idiots is worth over ten of d moslems.d bible says there is a time for everytin.d day is coming n very soon,their siege will b broken.

You know this why you muslims have no real credibility at all shocked. Go to Kano and other northern cities, Christians(full blooded Nigerians) are restricted in a small visitors area called sabon gari. The sabon gari was the only place a church could be built in the whole of Kano city after a rigorous vetting and bribing of the local islamic authorities.

Christians never rioted because Kano always rejected their applications for buildings, and yet you seem to be justifying this lame excuse, because an individual was prevented from re-developing his property.
Once again, why can't christians build anywhere they like in NIgeria
Re: 5,000 Displaced After Violence In Nigeria by kpofkpof: 3:28pm On Jan 19, 2010
i have read thru this thread and the truth is the media is being economical with the truth.

the gist about a moslem not allowed to renovate his house is baldadash being fabricated by daily trust.

i am in jos so i can give u guys the news to the best of my knowledge.

the whole mayhem was planned. there were rumours that they(moslems) wanted to disrupt peace here in jos on the 18th of december so that the christians wouldnt enjoy their xmas celebration. but security was beefed up and they relaxed. So on sunday a group of moslems miscreants were playing football in front of St micheal's Catholic church at Nassarawa while a mass was going on. Their ball entered the church, and the cathecist siezed the ball after several warning that they were disturbing the mass. So beacuse of that they became violent and the whole drama ensued from there.

A lot of them were caught with fake military uniforms, so for God sake, if it werent preplanned, will pple just decide to wear military uniforms to play ball?

As at last night, at about 2am, the few moslems around my neighbourhood were going from gate to gate alerting their own people in Hausa (which i dont understand) and we noticed that as soon as they passed information, the man of the house goes in starts his vehicle and leaves with the entire family. we were wondering what this was all about until the fresh mayhem broke out this morning. this is even more deadlier that what the media are reporting and left to me alone, these volatile areas should just be declared green zone by Gov Jonah jang.

Truth be told, these moslems are bad, wicked and blood thirsty. As at 10am despite the shots by the military, the bell to the cathedral went off signifying problems and that wass when the indigenes and other christians got angry and started burning anything belonging to a moslems.

On Zaria road, where we have a lot of car stands belonging to the moslems, as at Saturday, a lot of them were seeing moving thier cars but nobody suspected anything. Today along my area, one car stand belonging to a moslem had ONLY the cars of one poor christian chap who just came back from a trip. The man was called upon to bring the keys to the office so that they could remove those cars, but he said he left for abuja that same saturday and his boys are not available for that purpose. What the igbo chap did was to write on the cars "these cars belong to Jesus- the one and only true God". it was funny at first to me and kind of pathetic.

Anyway i cant continue as i have indoors since and cant gather information, but if they said 20 are feared dead please multiply that number by 15.

It is well. I rest my case
Re: 5,000 Displaced After Violence In Nigeria by kpofkpof: 3:42pm On Jan 19, 2010
why are they always trying to give lame excuses for these crisis

In September 2001- it was a lady that allegedly passed infront of them when they were praying

November 2008- That the person that won jos north LGA chairman was not their candidate

Jan 2010- one alhaji was not allowed to renovate this house.

Haba, very soon it will sonn be that because AIT or silverbird showed one naked woman when he was just about going out for ablution and as succh, his mind have been polluted.

To the moslems in the house, im sorry to say this, but your people have let you down.

i will come back later
