Violence between Muslims and Christians in the northeastern Nigerian town of Wukari in Taraba state left 39 people dead, according to the police.

More than 30 people were injured and more than 30 homes were burned yesterday in clashes between Hausa Muslims and Jukun Christians, Joseph Kwaji, a police spokesman, said today by phone from the Taraba state capital, Jalingo. The military and police were deployed to quell the unrest, he said.

“Right now in front of my house I can see three bodies of people shot probably by the soldiers,” Ali Shehu, a resident, said by phone yesterday.

Nigeria, Africa’s top oil producer and most populous nation of more than 160 million people, is almost evenly split between a largely Muslim north and a predominantly Christian south.

A 24-hour curfew was imposed on the town following the violence, Kefas Sule, a spokesman for the Taraba state government, said by phone from Jaling

Nigeria has faced increased sectarian turmoil in the north. The government has been battling Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which wants Islamic rule over the West African nation and has been blamed by authorities for a surge in bomb and gun attacks across the north and Abuja, the capital, since 2009. The attacks have killed hundreds of people.

As a people, we are homicidal in nature. Discuss?

Goodness, Gracious me.

I threw up this post a couple of days ago and just returned back to see unemployment dey attack my African brothers and sisters.

Can't we just all get along?

Don't mind them - the kind of crimes that go on there are too much - yet they get mouth for Zimbabweans, Nigerians, Angolans that have the hustle to rise in one generation.

Robbers opened fire on Nigeria's deputy high commissioner in South Africa after following him home to Pretoria from OR Tambo International Airport.

Kayode Oguntuase's driver Dan Mohlala was wounded in his left hand in the shooting on Wednesday, Beeld reported.

According to the newspaper, Mohlala took Kayode Oguntuase to the airport to fetch his wife Hailey.

As they got back home to Waterkloof Ridge, Mohlala told them they were being followed.

Hailey Oguntuase reportedly asked Mohlala to stop the car so she could get out, but he advised her against it, and they locked their doors.

According to the newspaper, the men following them tried to open the car doors, and when they could not, fired several shots at the vehicle, one of which went through a neighbour's window.

Neighbours summoned help. The gunmen fled. Beeld reported that Oguntuase drove Mohlala to hospital.

"We're investigating charges of attempted murder and attempted armed robbery," Brigadier Phuti Setati told the newspaper.

Naija women through rampant capitalistic demands (hair-BB-cinema-trips-travel-pocket-mama-papa-village-business-rent...add money to the end)...have now forced naija men to look at self-sufficiency as a means of enjoyment.

Mr Sheik haram,you mentioned pastor-mania but intentionaly forgot to mention bloody imams that preach to rioters and boko boys to bring blood to Allah. Is it not the worst mental situation- serial and mass killing for a god.

This shows that you are the biggest April fooooool !! - OGA - go find ur papa wey inside mental institution headbutting wall repeatedly.

lucenzo: Thank God there was no chinedu or emeka involved....

exactly what I'm about to say Tribalists should take note ogwuna ka o ham n'onu

No dis is Yo-robo-tik tins only - OPC business

So to paraphrase the article....

Rob in Lagos, Build in Ibadan. Understood.

Wait till Mr. Moon (Moonies) hears about this, he will arrive by Lear jet to Kano and marry 10,000 couples in the same manner that you drink a glass of water.

From the photos, I think at least 3 couples were engaged in frenzied horizontal and vertical, pre-consummation rituals.

Mba and Dudu Eko ile - Are you listening re: Lagos is a safe city...

“I stay in Mushin and at least three people have been killed in the area in the past one week. I decided to leave the area because it is not safe and my tenancy had already expired"

We have already developed a very strong standard operational procedure that is commencing this week and we are going to lock up the entry and exit point in this city”.

Lie, Lie. He should lock up his brain at entry and exit point too, to save us his banal niggerology. He must have worked as the Asst. Media Disinformation Minister to Saddam Hussein.

If Lagos is safe, then Maiduguri is positively serene.

Amen 4 Russia. US want provoke and fly drone/jet everywhere. Then when the other country reacts, they will roll on the ground like Nani and say they are innocent like Oscar Notorius. Lie-lie.

You need to know that Pakistan and Nigerians are DNA twins separated by Okija Juju when they began squabbling over a bowl of garri. I once met one guy running a Forex in Athens, who said he was was half Pakistani-half Nigerian - at that point, I dropped my money and scampered from that place. Dat mixture be the handiwork of a banished angel.

Just phoned that line - one guy called Mustafa asked me to call back after he finishes watching Scarface - very unprofessional people.

Satire Pt 2 - reality is stranger than fiction - President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday said that members of the Boko Haram sect were not Muslims because no true adherents of Islam would subject the country to killings, bombings and other gory attacks the way they had done -

Satire is the opium of the masses. When 'tins' pain so much, humour is our only recourse.

Same reason why Nigerians were declared the happiest 'pesins' in the world!

The United Nations has declared that following intense surveillance of the national polity for the past three years, Nigeria has been declared an open-air mental asylum open to Nigerians and foreigners alike who suffer from all forms of mental health conditions. Due to embedded Corruption, Kidnapping, NEPA wahala, Boko-Haram, Pastor-mania,Northern Elders pronouncements, Fuel subsidy, Ritual killings, Blakberry-itis, Naija cheap pop music, Polio medical worker killings, Dana Flying Coffins Air, Nollywood and Baby farms - 'there can be no doubt that citizens of this country suffer from marked bi-polar psychosis and as such deserve intensive medical treatment'.

A 1200-member team of medical experts have flown to Abuja bringing branded medicine as the local variety cannot be verified as there are cabals who have flooded the market with counterfeit merchandise. 50 Psychiatrists will work intensively with former political appointees who have been suffering from delusions of grandeur and psychotic behaviour as they believed they assisted the Nigerian masses in their fight against grinding poverty. The most powerful drugs have been earmarked for IBB, who on meeting the medical experts for the first time, stressed that 'One Nigeria is his baby and he is ready to hold RPG to protect national unity'.

Banco Noroeste S.A. was a Brazilian bank at the centre of the 419 scam, which was described as the "single biggest advanced fee fraud case in the whole world" by the former chairman of Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Alhaji Nuhu Ribadu. Between May 1995 and February 1998, a total of US$242 million was reportedly stolen from the Banco Noroeste S. A. through offshore banks in the Cayman islands. 1 The money was remitted by swift transfers through various banks to accounts controlled by Nigerian nationals, Ikechukwu Christian Anajemba, Emmanuel Odinigwe Nwude, Nzeribe Okoli and Amaka Anajemba (wife of Ikechukwu Christian Anajemba). The authorisation for all the transfers was done by Nelson Tetsuo Sakaguchi, a senior official at the bank. The Nigerians, in a 419 plan, came up with a fake contract to build an airport in Abuja. They promised Nelson Tetsuo Sakaguchi a big commission in exchange for funding the contract.

The fraud was detected in February 1998 while Sakaguchi was on vacation, in the process of auditing carried out in readiness for the intended sale of the Bank Noroeste to Spanish banking group Banco Santander. Inquiry revealed discrepancies in the bank's books, with at least US$242 million missing. Of this sum, US$190 million had been transferred directly to accounts controlled by the Nigerians or through unlawful money changing operations conducted by Naresh Asnani (a British subject of Indian descent resident in Nigeria) and Ezugo Dan Nwandu (a Nigerian businessman resident in Enugu). 2

Following the discoveries, civil actions aiming to recover the money were commenced in Brazil, Switzerland, Hong Kong, the United States of America and in Nigeria. In addition to the civil actions, criminal complaints were laid in Brazil, Switzerland, USA, Hong Kong and Nigeria. 3

The accused persons and companies were charged with obtaining by false pretence $190 million from one of the directors of Banco Noroeste Bank. 4

In prosecution, Nwude and Okoli plead guilty to numerous crimes and forfeited $121.5 million dollars in assets. Anajemba too pleaded guilty and she received a two and half year sentence after agreeing to give back $48.5 million. 5

In July 2002, investigators acting for the bank's shareholders (with the assistance of Dr. Hakim Ukeh - also suspected of participating in the fraud) persuaded Sakaguchi to visit New York, ostensibly for a meeting with the shareholders, where he was arrested on an international warrant issued by the Swiss government and extradited to Switzerland to answer money laundering charges. He admitted involvement in the fraud. 6 In December 2002, Naresh Asnani was arrested in Miami, while en route to a meeting with lawyers acting for the shareholders, on an international warrant issued by the Swiss Government. He was extradited to Switzerland to answer similar charges of money-laundering. On October 31 2003, he too admitted involvement in the fraud
