The story of Jos is part of the wider story of Nigeria. That there is violence more often in Jos is not because the Jos people are any different. The real causes of violence in Jos are evident in some other parts of Nigeria, it just turns out that in other parts of Nigeria there is a dominant majority and a minority willing to accept their fate of intimidation and injustice. But in the case of Jos the fact that Jos almost lies at the confluence between the Muslims and Christains breeds temptation to confuse who should be the dominant culture. I also think the Jihadist attitude of Muslims is not helping either because since the days of Uthman Dan Fodio they still think the decendants will one day conquer Jos.

Forget about those who will like to talk about the issues as if they began with Jonah Jang or as if they began with the PDP and this democratic dispensation. That is factually inaccurate because the story of Jos predates Nigeria's independence. Although the aggressors and targets may have changed over time I think what fuels this violence and why after 50years of Nationhood we still face these challenges is because the foundations of our Nation has always been weak.

So long as we continue to sustain this indigene and settlers dichotomy in Nigeria and have a situation where Nigerians are migrants and second class citizens in certain sections of the country because their fathers were not born there, we will continue to have problems 50years from now.
The Hausa Fulani goat herders in an ideal world should have every right as everyone else in Jos, but you will expect the same treatment and respect to be accorded to Non-Hausas in Bauchi, Kano, Zamfara etc. But this is not the case and it smacks of hypocrisy that the Hausa are unable to subject themselves to the kind of life they subject others within their teretory.

As we speak, more than 10 states are illegally practicing Sharia against the provisions of the 1999 constitution. No one has thought it necessary to challenege these States at the Supreme Coourt and get them to repeal the State Legislations on Sharia which runs contrary to the Federal Constitution and as such becomes null and void as provided in our constitution. The Attorney General of federation is not doing it, neither are Human right lawyers because everyone claims to be scared of heating up the polity. Well the polity is already heated up as there are clear cases of killings, intimidations, injustices around the country. If this does not amount to a clear heated polity I don't know what is?

The case of Jos is what you hear. But there are worse going on secretely around the country. Instead of dealing with the problem head on, everybody pretend these problems don't exists. We need to make it clear that we are all Nigerians and deserve to live wherever we like. ONE Nigeria should mean something to us all for once and stop being a propaganda tool. We need to demand of our brothers in the North some standards because no country should tolerate insecurity of lives and genocide within its boarders.

We can either deal with these problems head on or continue the stop gap measures of putting Army on red alert eafter 1000 people die or continue to declare state of Emergency as some of our muslim brothers continue to suggest. We can pretend these problems don't exist until we drown in them. But our problems will continue and we will never make progress.

The Daily Nation had an article which captures succintly where Nigeria is  albeit in their quest to write on a different issue (Yar'adua debacle. ). . .   . . .  The caption of the article was ""Nigeria lives in an age long gone".

Why dont we scrap that useless and senseless programme. Must we wait until most of the corpers die in accidents, rapes and senseless killings b/4 taking the right decision?. With corper rejections by coys and government institutions and banks i dont see the need for the continution of this crap.

I agree with you. There are several reasons to scrap the programme but the most important is the preservation of life. Youth corpers are not soldiers that we can accept the collateral damage of a loss of a single life. Successive governments have consistently proven that they can not offer safety and protection to ordinary citizens; why should parents send their children to death zones?

This singular act displayed by NYSC is more than enough to tell any rational and sensible human being that NYSC should be scrapped. It is totally worthless and useless. The sole purpose of NYSC has been defeated if fresh graduates cannot be posted to any state in Nigeria without fear of lives to occur.

A lot of things are wrong in Nigeria.

All these events make one wonder, hmmmm

Nigeria is finished. The sensible should pack and leave now.

The last person left should switch off the lights.

Soon,other volatile states will be blacklisted and the crappy NYSC will have to be scraped.
Funny enough,Gowon started this. . .now his beautiful state is on fire.Thanks,Mr I-wanna-foster-unity

@ Poster, Thats not true,

As i speak i know of at least 2 people that were posted to Pleateau and infact one of them is my friend's bro who should have left for camp since yesterday but due to the present Jos crisis, he's still at home. He's now trying to touch base with the NYSC directorate on the way forward,

No wahala. Just needed to clarify since it seemed like everyone else else was already 'buying into the no corper was posted to pleateau story'.

Anyway, enjoy camp.

When things fall apart,they do gradually.

Now NYSC has officially recognised that Nigeria is not one compact unit.
We expect other parastatals and govt agencies to follow.
The dream is alive.
