"The mishap was said to have been caused by a stampede as a result of a surging crowd which led to the death of 11 persons and causing injuries to about 29 others," a police statement said of the incident in Port Harcourt.

sylve11:

Buhari has had a first hand experience in Bayelsa

eku_bear:
It seems plausible that they'd find it. After all, the Chad side has oil, doesn't it?

I suspect that Africa in general hasn't been thoroughly explored enough for natural resources. . . there is probably a lot still undiscovered.

And if they strike oil, perhaps we can then partition the country!

oil or no oil no partition Nigeria is not Sudan

more than a million spirits were also registered in anambra

A militant is always a Militant

The Beroms have started again 3 dead yesday in K Vom check the Guardian Newspaper

thanks bros for that info. I kept saying you only need to be a resident of jos for you to really appreciate the crisis. The current crop of men in the stf consist of abot 45'percent non muslim and majority of d sector commanders are also xtian. if you to the police and mopol the disperity is starggery.

hmm

Kx:
Here is the difference btw Tunishia, Egypt, etc and Nigeria.

In those countries, demonstrators protest and asks their failed govt to leave office.

In Jos/Nigeria, demonstrates protests and asks their failed govt to address issues they have consistently shown their inabilities to address.

imagine

Akainzo:
I get quite bemused that most people in their haste to crucify him, never get to know beyond the beer-parlour rumours that is circulated.

For help in setting things in the right perspective, the timelines for Nigeria's particiaption in OIC would be shown below:
1976, Nigeria made a request as to the membership of OIC (and subsequently put Sharia in our constitution under OBJ).
1980, Nigeria became a member of OIC as an observer nation.
1986, Nigeria became a FULL member of OIC
2001, Nigeria confirmed its FULL membership by President Obasanjo attending its D8 summit.


It is interesting that the only Nigerian HOS/President to actually attend an OIC meeting, is the christian Obasanjo! Buhari could have made us a FULL member but he did not, but IBB surreptitiously did! And OBJ though claiming to be a born again, never took us out but even attended the meeting.

SO tell me, what do you have against Buhari?  And has your GEJ mooted the idea of taking us out? Or does he even have the balls to address the Jos crisis?

Some people ae just too delusional to see the truth

dummy

GEJ should do same to the POLICE & MOPOL based in Jos, they also have contributed to killings by the beroms in jos. And no body should brag about MOPOL been professional in their conduct we also know how happy triggry these MOPOL are one just shot a pregnant woman in Abuja today

At least, two people have again been killed in Jos with two petrol stations, many houses and shops set ablaze yesterday morning following the stabbing of a student at the students’ hostel of the University of Jos.
The student was stabbed on Friday evening by some unknown persons.

The mayhem, which engulfed Farin Gada area close to the permanent site of the University of Jos, started as a protest by students over the shooting of 14 of their colleagues by security men on Friday evening when trying to avert riot over the stabbing of one of them.
Thick smoke enveloped the sky at Farin Gada area as the two filling stations and other business premises, including a hotel were set ablaze as students were joined by hoodlums.

According to Sunday Sun sources, news filtered in that some of the students shot by the soldiers the previous day had passed on. Vice Chancellor of the university, however, said in a telephone interview that no information had got to him that any student died, but confirmed that 14 of them were in the Jos University Teaching Hospital and Birmingham University Teaching Hospital receiving treatment.

But Sunday Sun learnt that in the mayhem launched at residents and passersby, two persons were confirmed killed and their corpses were seen lying face down, while many others were wounded. As at the time of filing in this report, calm had been restored to the area by members of the Special Task Force and the Police, even though there was still tension. When contacted, the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Gregory Nyelong, described the shooting of the students as unfortunate, saying the state government was monitoring the situation and called on all law-abiding residents of Jos city to remain calm.

He said, “In view of the security breach which occurred yesterday and today at the permanent site of the University of Jos and Farin Gada-Bauchi road axis on citizens by hoodlums and miscreants and hereby direct the special task force on security to fish out the perpetrators and bring them to justice.’’

Meanwhile, Sunday Sun confirmed that 14 others were wounded while the university’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Sunny Tyoden, disclosed that by Monday the university authority would decide whether to close the institution for now or allow the session to continue.

This is by far a tru reflection of what happened

PhysicsMHD:
If he campaigns in the middle belt hard enough, plus in the south, yeah it would give him the necessary states/numbers.


It's all on him.


a) Sit back and wait until after the election while people die and then do something.


b) Or be bold, do something costly now and make up for it later with double effort.


I don't see GEJ as the hero type, so I'm not getting my hopes up, though.

just hope he does the right thing

Am a muslim resident in Jos, i as much as i see the perpetrators of these acts as people repossessed by the inconsistency demon what we should know as far as JOS is concern Muslims commit crime against humanity & Christian commit crimes against humanity.

@ Frosbel The pix you posted is misleading. The two dead bodies were from Doruwa in Barikin Ladi and not related to today's incident

These berom people are ready sank into depression and repossessed by the inconsistency demon see people decades of sweat go up in flames

Oladiran:
The smoke has cleared, things are calm now! I think we just wait for newspaper reports tomorow. I will actualy recomend you check-up sunday tribune, they seem to have a hard working correspondence here in Jos.

Yah everything is now clear as we wait for 2morows paper the berom people are ready celebrating another success of destruction see people decades of sweat go up in flames. Yet check it out 2morows paper especially the same tribune that would not be specific as who the aggressors are.

edoyad:
What does gej have to do with this ? People went for Xmas eve service and were attacked, that's what we should look at. Many of the J boys i'm with (here in lagos) confidently say their people will end it this time around. I'm sure you don't need an interpreter to tell you what they mean by "end it".

jos crisis is not programmed from lagos
