Jos: Muslim Stay At Home Paralyses Business Activities by yyb14: 7:06pm On Jul 17, 2012 |
The stay-at-home for special prayers as directed by the Plateau State Ulama Elders Council yesterday paralyzed several business activities, with many streets deserted in Jos. The action was initiated as a result of an order by the Special Task Force (STF) on Fulanis to vacate some villages in Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas of Plateau State within 48 hours. Our correspondent, who went round the city center as well as some markets and business premises reports that at the famous Terminus market, most of the shops were closed while Bauchi Road which is one of the busiest areas was deserted. On Ahmadu Bello Way, though some shops were opened for business, it was not as busy as usual and banks also opened only for some hours and closed down. At Yan Kwali, Yan Taya, New Market, Laranto and Farar Gada markets, all shops were closed with no business activities taking place. In an interview with some people whose shops were closed, they said they decided to comply with the directive not to open for business for the fact that the time was devoted for special prayers. “I have prayed as directed by our leaders for the peace and safety of our state and country, and most particularly against the decision by the STF, the quit notice calling on the Fulanis to vacate their settlements. I decided to close my shop and stand by it, and will not open it in compliance with the directive,” said one Hassan Sani. One Ndubisi Okeke of the Yan Taya market said he decided not to open his shop because all his business partners did not open and that he was also observing the special prayer for restoration of peace in the state and the country at large. It was also gathered that a similar closure of markets and other businesses were observed at Bukuru in Jos South, and Barkin Ladi local government area of the state. Apart from the markets, transport sectors also had its negative share of the action, as many commuters were seen waiting for nonexistent vehicles to convey them to their respective destinations. Our reporter observed that at the Central Motor Park along Jos – Bauchi road, and three other minor parks, no vehicle had loaded, just as the park was also closed down, leaving a lot of passengers abandoning their scheduled journey to various places across north west, north east and north central states. The same was true of those going for businesses to some hamlet markets who could not gain access due to non-availability of vehicles to convey them. Efforts to make the STF comment on the 48-hour ultimatum as it expired yesterday failed as the STF spokesman, Capt Mustapha Salisu, who promised to call back was yet to do so as at the time of filing in this report. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/index.php/news/171933-plateau-muslims-stay-at-home-paralyses-business-in-jos |

Only daily trust will say such. Travellers went to Plateau Riders and could travel everywhere. All banks were opened. I could transact all my usual numerous businesses. And of course, because I knew there was nothing said that fulanis should leave their residences as the stf press release said all Residents of specified 5 villages, and only one was.dominated by Fulanis. I'm sure you heard the fulanis left.their village today since they now understand the fact that it is purely military action,.and were just misled by their so called enlightened leaders |

Jeez,big fat lie.i live in jos and for the life of me didn't even know about moslems staying at home. Look, hausas in jos can stay indoors and we'll be happy. A real jos guy'll tell you that as far as economic activities are concerned,hausas are a minor variable in jos. |

Which business activity was paralysed? Dailytrust with all their lies. How many businesses is run by the hausas in jos? is it the fruit sellers, plantain hawkers or wrapper sellers? The only tribe that grounds jos business are the Ibos. Last time they closed shop during the burial of Ojukwu, Jos was grounded. |

Hausa /Fulani should leave jos , i dont understand this concept of the holy people struggling and killing them seles to live with infidels, it really beats my imagination .The opposite should be the situation Holy people in Pakistan refused to stay in one country with the infidel indians the same with middle east holy people in palestinian refused to stay in the same country with infidels like isreal , but Nigerina muslims are different they will fight , kill ,die to prevent even infidels to seccede from them . And will do all they can to cohabit with infidels |

hausa/fulani staying indoors in kano can't paralys business talk more of JOS they were few. taa go and sit down, you seekers of attention. stop deceiving yourself, many people don't even want them to come outdoors any more. Those who control the nations economy doesn't pride about it. hausa/fulani should understand that every tribe hates them with passion. we are trying how to avoid them but looks difficult cuz of disunity among us. but very soon we shall unite. then hausa/fulani shall know where they belong. |
