cold:
Do you honestly think the indigenes of jos wld let this go in the "God dey" kind of manner?If you lost your brothers,sisters,uncles,aunties & grannies in such a gruesome manner wld you be talkin of forgiveness?Think

That is not the issue.Nigeria needs peace so the jos indegenes should think of the country since justice to the perpetrators might never be served(there is no history of that in nigera).They should just forget it after all they are not the first people it has happened to

As i have always said the natives of jos should put this incident behind them and let peace reign so that the country can move forward

I hope it is not the same Udenwa's daughter that i know?
Dude, you should not be patronizing such tales.you are wiser than that.
Udenwa was and is a crook.
I have a clue to his worth before he became a governor and a measure of his worth afterwards.
I know a few fronts that bought properties abroad for him.
the question is not who is a bigger thief.
Tell Udenwa's daughter (s) that the coming inferno will not spare the likes of her father.
Back to Nzeribe,

I wonder if it is the one that went to FUTO?

The jos indegines should take heart and move forward for peace to reign in nigeria as what has happened has happened.

March 10, 2010 at 7:51 pmfools why destroy the refinery when their ideas can be can be improve on, like Asher (France) says below, why not legalize their

business and use that as a foundation to start addressing the oil problem in the country, Our govt will not stop amusing me, they are so blind to see

opportunities when they present themselves, in developed world, criminals are rehabilitated and reintegrated back into the society if govt discovered that

they can create wealth or address a problem but in Nigeria, we destroy them and their ideas. What this simple act should tell the govt is that Nigerians are

very enterprise and just wanted a conducive environment to develop their God giving abilities, it is a shame that they will allow this opportunity to slip.


I kind of agree with the comment above from the comments following the story .

JTF destroys 500 illegal refineries… arrests 6 suspected oil thieves
Headlines Mar 10, 2010 By Emma Amaize and Akpokona Omafuaire
THE Joint Task Force (JTF) on the Niger-Delta have destroyed fresh 500 illegal crude oil refineries and arrested six suspected oil thieves at Egbekebor and Gbelekumor communities in Delta State.

Also, several pumping machines used by the bunkerers, drums of suspected crude and refined products were also seized.

Sector 1 Command of the JTF, under the leadership of Col. Jamil Sharham led journalists to the scenes of the oil bunkering Wednesday and paraded the suspects.

It was observed during the visit that aquatic life around the operational areas of the bunkerers has been destroyed beyond imaginable sense, while families engaged in the business have relocatred from the area because of arrest by the JTF.

It was also noticed that several local boats, referred to as “Contonou boats”, which could carry over 300, 000 litres of crude, the local factories were burnt by the task force while drums of various sizes with products littered the area, spanning over three kilometers.

It was gathered that the JTF embarked on destruction of the structures and equipment to forestall the return of the operators to the business.

According to Col. Sharham, “the JTF under Brig. Gen. Sarkin Bello has zero tolerance for bunkering and refining so we have no option but to combine all forces and fight it headlong”.

He said “I mobilized my men for the operation, we arrested six persons, the operation will continue till illegal bunkering is brought to zero, we will do everything to bring illegality down. We are taking the battle to where they get the crude because if they (refiners) do not have crude they cannot refine”.

Col. Sharham said crime does not pay and advised bunkerers to desist from the business and rather, gear their energies towards improving the national economies instead of destroying it.

Investigations were on as the time of filing this report Wednesday to unmask the fleeing operators and collaborators

he was a bloody thirsty autocrat, with a tribal agenda. he should burn in his grave! his irrational actions set 30 yrs back.

Do you even know that nzeogwu was more fluent in hausa than igbo

RichyBlacK:
See mumu for road! If you want to forget your head that is your business, but Biafrans cannot forget the injustice of Nigeria. It is this nonsensical attempt at forgetting that is keeping Nigeria anchored to the path to nothingness.

Until hypocritical Nigeria addresses the issues that led to the Biafran War and those discussed in Aburi, Nigeria's determined march to failure will proceed uninterrupted!

Guy i like this your quote

so the masses should be docile

Ronaldinho was more flambouyant but Zidane was more effective .

US wan put their nose for this one.

lipuka:
We are talking about the official language for Africa,

What is the official language of europe

Andre Uweh:
I think Kosovo and Dede1 has a slight edge over him.

nah i have been in nairaland for long and i think jakumo has actually toned down.dede I and kosovo have nothing on jakumo especially the way jakumo grammar rhymes

zebra:
@ashawo
or was your name sef, no ikwerre man in his right senses will ever call himself igbo.

keep arguing na u go tire and like i said tell that to francis ellah

Andre Uweh:
@Jakumo: It seems you are copying Kosovo or else , how come the same vocab that Kosovo has been using is being repeated by you?.

Jakumo is actually the grammar king here.

zebra:
Thank you, i have heard you. But ikwerre and ika are not igbos, sorry.

Go and tell Air raid Achuzia and Francis Ellah

bawomolo:
its silly to just forget without[b] reconciliation and charging the culprits.

[/b]

You and i know it is not going to happen since it has never happened in the history of nigeria so don't we just move forward.

olafolarin:
Na wahala dem dey find?
I hope the silly bleaching governor will call religion conference in the state and address the issues[b] before it escalates into another Jos mayhem,

[/b]

I doubt it will reach that extent.

Keegan:
Why is it that you Igbo always full of yourselves as if the whole world revolves around you? Other tribes have right to follow their instinct and if you’re still bitter about the defeat during the civil war days na you sabi, after all did Igbo put the interest of other southern tribes into consideration at that time.

You are just envious of the North and I am quite sure you will do worst if you were in their shoe.

if have nothing better to say you keeep quiet.

ElRazur:
Really? Yeah let us blame the government for EVERYTHING. Let no citizen take responsibility for their actions. People steal, people sh.it, people kidnap, people die everything nah the fault of the government. Keep that stance, I dey sure he go solve your problems well well my friend.

Fhemmmy:
Lol . . . . Till we Nigerian start taking responsibility for our actions, we are far away from the good days.

The problem is that the nigerian govt never gives a benefit of the doubt on an situation which is the fifference btw wetern governments and african cum nigerian governments.

bibiking1:
There is hardly any reason for carnage, be it in the past or present! The referall to the Ibo holocaust of the late sixties as a reason to ignore this present conflagration is pretty ironic! Asha, in failing to acknowledge the current violence in Jos simply because you are stuck in the time sand reverie of a perceived hatred for a sect. This also does not make the life of a child from the northern extract unimportant!

Guy u and i know that nobody is going to be charged so why bother?they should forgive and forget so that the country will move forward no be so.

that na true

All this earthquake everywhere

zebra:
why do igbos like claiming that other people are igbos. if they say they are not igbos why not leave them alone? i just heard them claiming that[b] Goodluck Jonathan is an igbo man. na wa o.[/b]

my freind keep quiet if u have nothing to say.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=409633.msg5647782#msg5647782 date=1268035310]Sultan
The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Saad
Abubakar has condemned calls for the sack
of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen.
Abdulrahaman Danbazau over the
deployment of troops along major roads in
Abuja when President Umaru Yar’Adua
returned from Saudi Arabia on February 23.
Speaking yesterday during the N100 million
fund raising for NAJOMO Mosque at the
Syrian Club, Ikoyi, Lagos, the Sultan described
the demand as uncalled for.
The Army, he said, is not a religious Army.
"Because he happens to be a Muslim, if he is
a Christian, would they have called for his
sack. Many things happen in this country but
no Muslim leader has called for the sack of
any Christian government official. For
instance, there are so many crimes in the
country, do we now say the Inspector
General of Police should be sacked?" he
queried.
It is high time, the Sultan said, Nigerians saw[/quote]And their goes one of nigeria's problem.If a revered leader like the emir in the north can be making this kind of statements and knowing how his people look up to him we wonder why this kind of crises that happened in jos occur.

There was a clear breach of order in the ordering of those soldiers and and people rightly called for his sack and all what this emir is interested is fanning religous discontent.

oyb:
no offence intended, but several of your kinsmen keep beefing about events 50 years ago

to all those who keep shouting about gun laws in nigeria - this is what happens.

reprisal upon reprisal.

i'm sure three or 4 months down the line, there will be another reprisal again

as usual, the sss who cannot be counted on to find their d-icks with a search light are unble to find the ringleaders.


that is all that needs to be done, imho.

its really sad - the nigeria dividends of democracy - where groups that feel shortchanged in the democratic process, rather than strategize for the future elections etal - resort to violence - which is what i consider to be the origin of the jos saga

That is exactly the reason why i am saying that the jos indigenes should forget this incident so that nigeria can move forward.Afterall when the easterners talk about what happened around fifty years ago people say that we are making noise and that we should forgive and forget so i do not the reason why that logic should not be applied here

Jakumo:
Easier said than done, Aisha. Blood fueds are known to last for generations.

Is that not what nigerians always say when this kind of things when they happen

I do not see what is the difference in this case because you and i know nothing will come out of the nonsense commities the govt is setting up as nobody as always will be tried for this mayhem so as i stated earlier let them forgive and forget so that nigeria can move forward

Please the jos indigines take heart and forget about this incident so that nigeria can move forward
