An Early Nigerian Civil Disturbance: The 1945 Hausa-ibo Riot In Jos.... by tsdarkside(m): 8:18pm On Aug 10, 2022
The Kano riots of May 1953 are generally regarded as having been the first major outburst of violence between Northern Nigerians and those who later assumed the name of Biafrans. Here a neglected episode in the history of conflict between these peoples is placed on record: In October 1945, the Hausa and the Ibo in the city of Jos fought one another for two days, during which at least two people were killed, many others injured, considerable property was destroyed or damaged, and Nigerian police and army units had to be brought in from Kaduna to restore order. Later, one man was tried for homicide. Yet there is no report by the Nigerian Government on the rioting, nor any mention of it in the annual administrative reports. The Jos disturbance preceded that of Kano by 8 years and carries the infamous distinction of probably being the first occurrence of extensive intertribal rioting in modern Nigerian history. This account derives almost entirely from informants who were in Jos in 1945....

1945?
And more like a hearsay.
How would the colonial masters not record such unrest that required bringing army from Kaduna to quell?

Fool, why don't you call a spade, a spade? Why do you zoogerians always like to lie? It was "hausa/fulani violence against Igbos" and never was it "between" both groups. You fools sold the crap you called "farmers/herders clash", instead of herders' violence and killing of farmers, to some gullible and foolish ones who ran with that naive line "farmers/herders clash" and also come out with the term "bandit" to describe the fulani terrorists, and fools are still running with the same dubious line. When are you fools going to stop with your lies and say things the way they are?
And most importantly, stop lying about the number. The death count after the 1945 violence against Igbos was way above 100 and not 2 as you stupidly lied above.

1) The first incident in which the murder of Igbo ethnic people took place in Nigeria was in Jos on 22 June
1945. Hundreds of Igbos were murdered by the Hausa-Fulani during the pogrom and tens of thousands of
pounds sterling worth of their property either looted or destroyed. No single person was apprehended or
charged by the British regime nor an enquiry set to determine the "official" cause of this gruesome act. The
second mass killing of Igbos and other Biafrans happened in Kano in 1953. In both cases, thousands of Igbo
people with their families were brutally murdered and their property looted.

The 1945 Jos killings and the 1953 Kano massacre were early indications that Nigeria would not work as a nation. But Britain ignored the warning signs

Stop displaying your ignorance. No serious webmaster uses such domain extension.
I could get free domain extensions like .ga and write nonsense.

Provide another one, if there is
