*_Timely Warning To Nigerians!_*

FWD : �

*"OMAR BANGURA from Sierra Leone has this to tell Nigerians;"*

"I don't think you guys know what you are playing with. You can call each other names and laugh about it now but when you end up inciting hate here as I read through your posts here and a real civil war starts in your country you will regret what you are doing now. Your religious and political leaders are trying to divide you between religious lines and you are helping them do that rather than standing up and say we are all Nigerians never mind our tribe, region or religion. That's the only stand that will save your blessed nation. The foreign powers pushing the government to take certain decisions will abandon you when you start killing one another and reject you from running to their countries so be careful. Our 11 year war in Sierra Leone was not even based on religious or tribal difference and see what we did to our country. The worst conflicts are those based on tribal and religious differences. See Central Africa, Bosnia, South Sudan and Rwanda. To have a better knowledge of this, please watch the documentary/movie called _"Hotel Rwanda"_ or _"Sometime in April"._ My heart bleeds when I read what you guys are saying because I know what this will lead to. _*You will be the losers all of you whether Christian, Muslim, igbo, yoruba or hausa.*_ Stand as one and save your nation together because you have only one Nigeria that has the potential to lead Africa."

_PLEASE HELP SAVE NIGERIA AND SHARE THIS WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE._

Kindly forward to your contacts until it gets to every Nigerian. God bless you!!! �[color=#770077][/color]

Maket:
I would have been shocked if i didn't see Ahmedu Bello Way
His street is always in the heart of the town and one of the longest street that is usually named after him.
Some state like plateau had renamed the street after their indigenous person.
The north always getting good point in the south yet you can go to the north and see a good street name after someone from another religion.
The same thing goes to building of churches and mosques. In the north churches are confirmed to specific location and not supported by governors
Go to the south you see mosques every corners, some built by the governors.
Streets are not named by who is South or who is North, but as a recognition of the contribution an individual made to the country to the locality and to the world. Why do you want to regionalize and tribalize everything?

ChangeIsCostant:
A teacher along with some women went diabolical after a group of boys broke into a school in Delta state just to defecate. It was gathered that the boys defecated severally in a pupil's desk and even locked the desk after that. The students were welcomed with ordour of faeces when the school resumed thereby prompting the head teacher to swing into action.

The teacher took the dump outside and used oil to rub on it as she swore that whomever is responsible for that, will face the consequences of having his bum burnt and constant running stomach.

Other women in the area joined as they lit the faeces up with matches in the middle of the road in order to show their annoyance with such action.

HISTORY RHYMES

“History”, they say, “repeats itself.” It, in fact, rhymes. I shall be waiting to see the day Nigerian politicians will stop shifting blame, take responsibility and do that which they are constitutionally and statutorily mandated to do.

That the killings in Plateau is the work of desperate politicians does not sound logical to me. President Jonathan made the same mistake in the initial stages of Boko Haram and the rest is history today.

To my mind, the massacre is a product of years of unaddressed killings and impunity. For example, just last year, over 700 Fulanis were reportedly massacred in Mambila. Their properties worth hundreds of millions were destroyed.

The FG set up a committee. The committee presented hard evidence of the particulars of persons killed and properties destroyed. It also gave names, particulars and evidence of the perpetrators. It recommended that the killers be brought to justice, but the FG sat on the report. Till today, no one was punished for that.

In the last three years alone, thousands of Nigerians have been killed in Zaria, Zamfara, Birnin Gwari, Benue, Mambila and other places. Nobody has been taken to court and punished. This doesn’t include victims of Boko Haram. No perpetrators have been brought to book. So, Nigerians have already got used to the sad reality that their killers are never held to account.

It is only natural that people who have lost hope in our justice system and who feel unprotected by authorities would resort to jungle justice and that’s is what going on in Plateau. The presidency had issued a statement saying it would bring perpetrators to justice. But it has broken several such promises in the past. And nobody will take it serious this time around.

The earlier Abuja starts taking responsibility and delivering on its promises, the better for Nigeria. It is only when perpetrators are transparently investigated and punished for their crimes that victims feel relieved and this prevents retaliation, and serve as a deterrent to other members of the society.

The is nothing fundamentally wrong with grouping people or behaviours, if there share common characteristics and that is basically what science does, it groups common stuffs together and invent a hypothesis that explains the behaviour and the tests it. And based on my observations and analysis "Northern Muslims are the worst people in Nigeria", and it says a lot about your people and culture.

It is you people at as a group that need to broaden your minds and accept that we as Nigerians can worship different gods and come from different tribes but work towards the common good of everyone within the construct of Nigeria.
btw this is my final response to you on this topic.
This is also my last response to your narrow minded concept shaped by bigoted media hype with no evidence based independent thesis. A hypothesis based on extreme hostility and malevolence cannot be accepted as scientific. One can propose dozens of similar hypothetical norms on southern behavioral characteristics as well.

Politics › Re: Plateau Killing: Governor Lalong Laughs As Osinbajo Visits Him. See Reactions by AnanseK(m): 9:39am On Jun 26, 2018
IStandWithPeace #EnoughOfTheBloodShedsOnThePlateauState
Just when we thought everything is over, the enemies of peace and Nigeria are at it again. But to set the records straight, let me breakdown some details of how things unfold that led to the recent breakdown of Law and Order in Barkin Ladi LGA and environs. These unfortunate incidents led to a full blown tribal/religious crisis in Plateau North Senatorial District. In the past decade a lot of crisis erupted in Plateau State, people have moved on in some of the areas, but why are we still having crisis that is leading to loss of lives and property in Berom Land? Governor Lalong should deal with these issues decisively, some people are out there to cause trouble just to discredit the Government at State and Federal level.If you think I am joking drive a pickup van with cows in the trunk and pass via Kassa, Heipang, Mararraban Foron, Marraban Jama’a, Anguldi or alternatively through Nafang, Fan, Bisichi, Foron and Du villages and see whether you will come out alive, the hatred is too much and incomprehensible. Some people stay on the highways and give their allies details of vehicles conveying Fulani Men or anybody that looks like them taking their COWs to the popular Kara (COW Market) in Bukuru (Jos South LGA), once they pass through any of the two routes coming from Mangu, Pankshin, Bokkos and other LGAs through berom they block them, lynch them and rustle their COWS. The below unfortunate events took place all within the month of June 2018.

1. On the 8th of June Four young Fulani men coming back from Kara Cattle market in Bukuru were shot immediately after Kassa Hill Military check point, less than 2Km from the check point.
2. Over 300 COWS were rustled between Fan, Dorowa and Jong Villages of Barkin Ladi LGA and Kadunu/Langai villages of Mangu LGA, when Military were sent to rescue and recover the COWS they received strong resistance from the armed Berom COW rustlers with even reports of some security men losing their lives. Up to date they’ve not been recovered.
3. On 12th of June at around 8pm some Fulani people of Quanpan LGA of plateau State coming back from Bukuru Kara market were shot at Kassa hill before Barikin Ladi LGA secretariat unfortunately one of them lost his life.
4. On June 13th a minor Jaafar Salihu herding his parents COWs, was killed at Nding Village also around Kassa hill and they removed his head till date the head wasn't recovered, he was buried like that
5. Then the last aggression took place on Jun 21st at about 6pm Some Fulani men Bala, Lawal and Ibrahim Kuwait on their way coming back from Kara market in Bukuru were shot, killed and their vehicle was set ablaze at Heipang village to be precise inside the railway round about, pictures attached.
6. A day after Sallah Jun 16th 2018 at about 14:00 hours some Hausa Boys of Barikin Ladi town driving a Vectra Opel vehicle with reg number JJN 54 CF heading to Mangu LGA narrowly escaped death with minor and major injuries and the car wrecked, as Berom youths launched an attacked on them in front of the Military Check point, what’s their offence? Ans: They are Muslims and the berom youths want to avenge an attack on some villages made by Fulani herders.
7. On Saturday 23rd Jun 2018 the people of Mangu blocked the highway and said nobody is going to pass until justice is done to one of their men that was killed in a Berom community between Dorowa village and Mangu Hale, until his demise he was a butcher and he went to collect his money from one of his customers he gives meat, he was simply killed because he is Muslim, is he a herdsman?
I blame the Men and Officers of Operation Safe Heaven for their poor handling of the following issues that took place in Barikin Ladi and environs, had it been they acted promptly this avoidable incidents would’ve been averted. I call on the security to be up and doing, they should deploy modern techniques in managing attacks and counter attacks if not the carnage will probably continue until the realities on ground are rewritten to reflect the reality of modern war. Instead of reflecting on why the current strategies are not working, FFK, CAN, TY Danjuma, Jerry Gana and their associates have an opportunity to pour out the anti-Islamic venom on an issue that is purely criminal. Facebook online commentators will follow along the same path. If they are not abusing the ‘clueless’, ‘certificateless’, ‘Boko haram sponsor’ etc. at the top they are attacking Islam for being a jihadist, blood-spilling religion.

Our problem as a people we now don’t have respect to our divergent identities, we don’t even tolerate one another, we have come to adopt the destruction of the lives and properties of people on the other side as the greatest way to establish the superiority of and defend our identity. Do not forget that when we meet in public places, schools and markets, we pretend to be friends and brothers, but when we return to our homes and places of worship, the identity changes, and is let loose at the slightest provocation. This is the situation of the nomadic Fulani and indigenous communities of North-Central Nigeria. In more recent times in North-Central Nigeria, the difference between herdsmen and crop farmers has become more dreadfully amplified than at any other time. And since the onset of the past decade, Plateau State has become quite symbolic and representative of ethno-religious conflict. When elder statesman like General TY Danjuma calls on his people to protect themselves, it is merely a reminder to the fact that the state is losing its ability to protect the common man against armed aggression. While Danjuma's call may sound obscene and insane to an outsider, it might be the only alternative left for a helpless villager. However, with the proliferation of arms that threaten to saturate the Northern part of Plateau State, preventing and resolving ethno-religious conflict would demand for an extreme political will. However, this much needed political will cannot come from a state that has always seen and heard a single side of the conflict. Where the state [media] focuses its camera on only one side, the inevitable danger of a single story is more destructive than that expressed by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The nomadic Fulani does not have the qualification or interest to participate in politics or democratic governance. The Fulani does not have a voice in the state owned media [Plateau be it TV, Print or Radio], therefore the state does not get to hear his own side of the story. I might sound to be on the side of the Fulani here, and I have no apology for that because people like me get caught in the crossfire for the simple fact that we share religious identity with the majority of the Fulani. Where indigenous people of North-Central states would stop travellers on federal highways simply because they wear kaftan, look Muslims or have beard, there is a serious need for government to be active and proactive instead of been reactive. Now, for us to have a permanent solution to this conflict, the state must at least ensure balance in media reportage of the conflict. When communities are attacked, we must sympathize with them irrespective of our differences of identity. Those hiding in the bushes and shooting innocent people going about their legitimate business must be stopped. Also people should stop putting poison on cattle route and rivers for cattles to eat/drink and die. Herders should/must allow farmers go to their farms and do their legitimate business of farming.
For this unending crisis to end the people and the government at all levels must take the bull by the horns and address this crisis no matter whose ox is gored.
• Religious leaders should preach the word of peace.
• Securities must be seen doing their jobs fairly without bias or discrimination.
• Individuals must cooperate with securities by furnishing them with all the necessary and relevant information that relate to breakdown of law and order.
We must take note that the communities in Barkin Ladi and Riyom LGAs have lost confidence in the Sector Commanders of the two LGAs, most especially the Sector 7 Commander of Barikin Ladi, he seems to be either complicit or not capable enough to handle the situation on ground, Barikin Ladi is missing Sector Commanders like Col O.C Okoro, Col Poppola, Col Quadri to mention a few, these no nonsense men don’t give room for terrorists to flourish.
Finally, may God restore our sense of sanity so that we can appreciate the need for peaceful coexistence. No place on earth will develop without having others around you, even America that we see as a great nation accommodate others, God Almighty has created us and he has destined for us to live together, then why not live in peace and harmony? If God wants we can all be the same tribe and religion but He has chosen for us to be grouped and sub grouped into different nations and entities as He so wishes, then why undo what God has ordained?[color=#770077][/color]

I call on the security to be up and doing, they should deploy modern techniques in managing attacks and counter attacks if not the carnage will probably continue until the realities on ground are rewritten to reflect the reality of modern war. Instead of reflecting on why the current strategies are not working, FFK, CAN, TY Danjuma, Jerry Gana and their associates have an opportunity to pour out the anti-Islamic venom on an issue that is purely criminal. Facebook online commentators will follow along the same path. If they are not abusing the ‘clueless’, ‘certificateless’, ‘Boko haram sponsor’ etc. at the top they are attacking Islam for being a jihadist, blood-spilling religion.

Our problem as a people we now don’t have respect to our divergent identities, we don’t even tolerate one another, we have come to adopt the destruction of the lives and properties of people on the other side as the greatest way to establish the superiority of and defend our identity. Do not forget that when we meet in public places, schools and markets, we pretend to be friends and brothers, but when we return to our homes and places of worship, the identity changes, and is let loose at the slightest provocation. This is the situation of the nomadic Fulani and indigenous communities of North-Central Nigeria. In more recent times in North-Central Nigeria, the difference between herdsmen and crop farmers has become more dreadfully amplified than at any other time. And since the onset of the past decade, Plateau State has become quite symbolic and representative of ethno-religious conflict. When elder statesman like General TY Danjuma calls on his people to protect themselves, it is merely a reminder to the fact that the state is losing its ability to protect the common man against armed aggression. While Danjuma's call may sound obscene and insane to an outsider, it might be the only alternative left for a helpless villager. However, with the proliferation of arms that threaten to saturate the Northern part of Plateau State, preventing and resolving ethno-religious conflict would demand for an extreme political will. However, this much needed political will cannot come from a state that has always seen and heard a single side of the conflict. Where the state [media] focuses its camera on only one side, the inevitable danger of a single story is more destructive than that expressed by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The nomadic Fulani does not have the qualification or interest to participate in politics or democratic governance. The Fulani does not have a voice in the state owned media [Plateau be it TV, Print or Radio], therefore the state does not get to hear his own side of the story. I might sound to be on the side of the Fulani here, and I have no apology for that because people like me get caught in the crossfire for the simple fact that we share religious identity with the majority of the Fulani. Where indigenous people of North-Central states would stop travellers on federal highways simply because they wear kaftan, look Muslims or have beard, there is a serious need for government to be active and proactive instead of been reactive. Now, for us to have a permanent solution to this conflict, the state must at least ensure balance in media reportage of the conflict. When communities are attacked, we must sympathize with them irrespective of our differences of identity. Those hiding in the bushes and shooting innocent people going about their legitimate business must be stopped. Also people should stop putting poison on cattle route and rivers for cattles to eat/drink and die. Herders should/must allow farmers go to their farms and do their legitimate business of farming.
For this unending crisis to end the people and the government at all levels must take the bull by the horns and address this crisis no matter whose ox is gored.
• Religious leaders should preach the word of peace.
• Securities must be seen doing their jobs fairly without bias or discrimination.
• Individuals must cooperate with securities by furnishing them with all the necessary and relevant information that relate to breakdown of law and order.
We must take note that the communities in Barkin Ladi and Riyom LGAs have lost confidence in the Sector Commanders of the two LGAs, most especially the Sector 7 Commander of Barikin Ladi, he seems to be either complicit or not capable enough to handle the situation on ground, Barikin Ladi is missing Sector Commanders like Col O.C Okoro, Col Poppola, Col Quadri to mention a few, these no nonsense men don’t give room for terrorists to flourish.
Finally, may God restore our sense of sanity so that we can appreciate the need for peaceful coexistence. No place on earth will develop without having others around you, even America that we see as a great nation accommodate others, God Almighty has created us and he has destined for us to live together, then why not live in peace and harmony? If God wants we can all be the same tribe and religion but He has chosen for us to be grouped and sub grouped into different nations and entities as He so wishes, then why undo what God has ordained?[color=#770077][/color]
