Seconded, although we don't have a proof

there are proofs,but the northern generals are holding nigeria ransom

the power given to boko haram came from the generals especially babangida,
thats why i can never vote buhari though we dont have a good guy(gej) holding the affairs of nigeria

buhari can never be an option...

you will notice that since the pronouncement of buhari as the president elect,
there have been little riots here and there in the north

the norther psyche is,if we have our man up there ,we can do as we please

thank God for prayers

Why are you linking attacks that happened since 2002 to Jonathan? Is this the level of your hate for him?
Chiefpriest1:
Never again! The human and material loss of the deadly attacks by boko haram have been simply incalculable.

May we never be led by a leader who blames every other person except himself for his own failings and failures. NEVER.

this is the problem of this century, IGNORANCE!.
Jos Terminus Market was destroyed by crises between the ethnics groups in plateau state not terrorism or boko haram. pls, OP get ur facts right and less I forget ur mind too.

The Onitsha Main Market is the biggest market in West Africa. You need to visit that city - so many markets. A different Market for every single thing you want to buy. Nigeria is great - I AM THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA

It was a terrible experience,i happen to be in Jos the very night it happened,that faithful day,i think on the 11th of Feb 2002 at about 11.30PM dark cloud hovered over Jos,it marked the end of an era,the end of beauty,the end of a master piece.
Prior to this, the tension in Jos was so palpable,the struggle for the ownership of Jos North between the indigenes(Berom) and the Hausas(settlers) got to its crescendo and the once spoken about most modern market in Africa became the victim of this inordinate ambition of the Hausa-Fulanis.
Though rumour also has it that the indigenes may equally have a hand in the disaster,whatever,the face of Jos will never be the same again.
You know the story very well. It was in February 2002 when the tension was still very high on all sides and IBB just visited the Tin city. Between it and Onitsha main market, I can't tell which is the biggest but one thing is certain, Jos Main market is the most organize market I've seen in Nigeria.

point of correction it was the biggest indoor market in West Africa. It was blown in 2002 after the riots started in 2001 and hundreds of people didn't die as it was blown in the middle of the night.
i know the place so well as i grew up in Jos, there's nothing like it in this country.

Bigger than Main market in Onitsha the only Nigerian market captured in/by Wikipedia?

At least to my knowledge (the bold)

shocked
Who told you people died? A small part of the market was blown by dynamite which sadly affected the foundation of the entire market. Please and please, if you don't know the truth, don't post lies for people okay?

Is like you quote someone before reading.

Who said someone died? Don't make caricature of yourself.

Be matured and apologise.

when the powers that be lost control of the mind of christians,they created islam which turned out to become an efficient tool of mind-control.islam builds a better and stable pyramid of social order than the rest of the religions.
