Jos crisis : Constant killings could lead to disintegration
National News Jan 19, 2010 By Taye Obateru

Jos — President-General of the Yoruba Community in Plateau State, Chief Toye Ogunshuyi, has warned that the constant killing of Nigerians from other parts of the country in the Northern part could lead to Nigeria’s disintegration.

He stated this shortly after paying a visit to the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Greg Anyating, disclosing that no fewer that 10 Yoruba people have been reported killed in the latest violence.

He said situations like this could lead to reprisal in other parts of the country which could threaten the country’s unity, adding: “My people are dying; they are burning their houses. We just woke up and found ourselves in this mess. Some of us have to take refuge in the church.


“We want to know if this is Nigeria. If as Nigerians we cannot come here to live peacefully, then we will now tell our people in the South to fight back. We are not going to allow this to go the way it went the last time and some of us are still left homeless.

“The Oba Yoruba (of Jos) is waiting for me now for us to go and assess the situation and once it is beyond our control, we will phone Lagos, Ibadan and other states,” he told journalists.

Ogunshuyi recalled that the Yoruba down-played the killing during the 2008 crisis of three youth corps members who were all of Yoruba extraction to avoid reprisal, adding: “Enough is enough. If Nigeria must be one, then they must demonstrate it now or else we shall hit back.”

Why does everyone keep shaking their fists and threatening to leave, if you want to go, go! (funny that its groups that fought against secession in the 60's, or maybe 'funny' is not the right word. . . . . .

Yea its not funny actually but One Nigeria is fine with me, I dont plan on leaving lagos anytiime soon (maybe some other states)

Its best everyone go back home to their state of origin. No one forced people to return or move up north, its common sense, the day hausas and fulanis try this trash in the south it will be a different story.
I Dont really have any sympathy towards people who choose to live in the north.

I dont live in the hood because i dont want toget shot, so why are people moving/remaining in a place where they know they dont have peace of mind?

So you are afraid of being shot in the nigeria you love so much?
But, do you sympathise with the youth corpers posted to the north?
and civil servants?

History is repeating itself, WAR IS INEVITABLE!

Whoever is not prepared for this eventuality is likely to pay with their lives.

One Nigeria has failed, Its time for us to wake up and smell the coffee.

You ran way from the other thread when I put several intelligent questions to you; in the same manner in which you usually run from intellectual discourse. All you are able to do is insult Yoruba people. Imagine the cheek; you have the temerity to call someone else an iliterate.

Cant we just rub mind without insults?

They will continue to kill because they always get away with it. It kill an eye for an eye principle may be an option to consider. Two can play at it

I just think it is time for the Christian to start carrying guns and shoot those goats

Is it ok for him to always insult Yoruba people? If we let him, then he will keep repeating his hate. I will not stop until his type leave this section for other less sensitive sections such as the romance and jokes section.

No matter how u try to stop him, he wont change . . . . .
BTW, when u exchange words with him, you are just bringing yourself down to his level.

All these igbo, yoruba and south-south states that accomodate hausa almajiris allowing them build mosques on your land in the name of unity, i hope this will serve as a vivid lesson to your state govts

Please read my post again; I did not trade insults with him. How can I be on his level when I did not insult him or his tribe? Lets be objective here please.

You are not even ashamed to type the above highlighted words. Which intelligent questions?Do imbeciles ask intelligent questions? Don't tell me that you are referring to those cheap lies Awo the Devil transferred to you retards.

More over, why should I even respond to your dumb questions when you failed to answer a simple question thrown to you by EZIACH.

I wonder how the people of aba will react to the information that some of the victims initially attacked were young ibo students resident in jos, trouble dey sleep.

Imagine. They killed only a few hundreds and you guys are threatening dis integration. What will happen if they kill up to 10 thousand or millions. So you guys are beginning to get the feel abi. Jokes.we lost more than 40 thousand people in the north and majority of your parents supported it. Lets go on with one nigeria.
