Mile 12 Is Still Burning! by Orikinla(m): 8:47am On Mar 05, 2016
According to the latest reports by the Vanguard newspapers killings have continued at Mile 12 in Ketu since bloody riots between Yorubas and Hausas claimed over 15 lives on Thursday. The Lagos State government must hold the Nigerian police accountable to stop the violence now. How can the Nigerian police watch as rioters burn vehicles and houses and kill innocent school children? How can a Nigerian soldier watch as angry Hausas seize a small child from the father and take him away to kill him? This is happening before our very eyes in Lagos that should be safer than the violent states of Borno, Benue and Plateau. The Hausas attacked both Igbos and Yorubas. A prominent Igbo trader at Mile 12 was hacked to death by Hausa rioters. What has this innocent Igbo merchant done to be brutally attacked and murdered in cold blood in broad daylight? If the Nigerian government does not stop the bloody mayhem, Igbos and Yorubas may start attacking Hausas in the south west and south east. The government is failing to guaranty the national security of Nigerians. This is not what they voted for. Why should the Hausa rioters behead two school children on their way home from school? Why attack and kill innocent school children, the future builders and leaders of our nation?

Hausa traders said the police should escort them to bury their dead according to Islamic rites, because their corpses cannot be left for days. Some were thrown into the nearby canal. The Nigerian police must send more patrol teams to Ikorudu and also police Agege, Oshodi, Mushin, Idi Araba, Ijora, Badiya, Orile and Obalende where there are large communities of Hausas, Yorubas and Igbos to prevent the spread of these riots. Because, from past experiences, retaliations by those who lost members of their families often occur. The parents whose children were killed need to be consoled and monitored, because the tragic loss of their children can provoke them to attack other Hausas. And Hausas need to be educated not to attack churches and Christians when provoked by individuals. The Yoruba hoodlums who attacked them at Mile 12 were not the owners of the churches and Igbo traders they attacked. The school children they murdered were not children of the Yoruba hoodlums. The greatest cause of ignorance and intolerance causing violence perpetrated by Hausas is lack of education. Hausa leaders in government must educate them on human relations and human rights. Hausas must stop being lawless, especially whenever they relocate to other states in Nigeria. They must stop trespassing private properties with impunity. Hausas in Lagos trespass private properties. They occupy uncompleted buildings and mess up the environment. When the owners tell them to leave, they get angry and attack them. I blame lack of education and the bad leadership of their political and religious leaders for the lawlessness of Hausas and Fulanis trespassing the lands of other Nigerians. There is nothing wrong in President Muhammadu Buhari making a national broadcast or State of the Nation broadcast to address and advise them to stop their lawlessness in Nigeria and disarm them!

For some reason not a lot of people are commenting on this very important issue, but go to the celebrity topics and see hundreds of comments on boobs and bottoms,
Are nigerians this ignorant? I suppose because it hasn't happened in there back yard or to any of their familes.

God help this nation, lawlessness is the norm in Nigeria

Hausa/Fulani fighting in almost every state of Nigeria. Does this not support the call for re-defining Nigeria?
2014 national conference report should come to our rescue here.
