nagoma: Fulani Herdsmen never claim any territorial rights, they don't even believe in owning land , they just graze thir cattle and move on. But when their settlemens were wiped out and all men , children and animals killed last week, there was a conspiracy of silence.the Christian press kept mute , the near absence of government in the country allows crimes to beget crimes and the killing and destruction multiples. The killings in the plateau have been going on unabated for the last decade while the so called government looks on. No body was arrested , no prosecution , no punishment. Are you sincerely expecting the tit for tat to stop In the absence of well defined legal intervention and punitive measures?

I'll try my best to educate you: The Jos war is for territorial right, that's why Babangida gave them (the hausas) a local government; so as to facililate their entire takeover. Now, they're trying to finish the takeover by terrorism.As regards reprisals against them, don't forget that they are the aggressors ,this is the planting season, and they want to starve the christians out through intimidation (since no economic activity like planting would take place). May you see the light.

kaeto: i think this has got nothing to do with boko haram, its rather a pdp vs labour party political war IMO. The state legislator has also been confirmed dead. May they r.i.p.

another ignoramus. So many on nairaland.

yyb14: guy you talk sense

*smiling* You're busy smirking from a foreign country, enjoying freedom procured for you by others. Well done for your (ignorant) analysis.

You still all don't get it, the north is trying to SILENCE all opposition, as they are losing their fantasy monopoly power due to various states now looking on exiting the Fulani domination. They are trying to send a message to the governor;'YOU ARE NEXT IF YOU DON'T SUBMIT TO US'.

christ4mi: Aren't the Fulanis too the indigene of The area. Well, if Revenge circle continue both of u guys will feel the pain. To the Fulanis, they can strike at anytime. When u guys go on rampage killing Hausa in a Revenge, it only create sympathy Hausa toward the Killer Herdmen. And Next they will still strike. I Just hope u guys will find a solution to your problem.

You're an islamist sympathiser, i can tell. Probably working for 'them'.

THAT YOU MAY ALL UNDERSTAND[b]THAT YOU MAY ALL UNDERSTAND[/b]THAT YOU MAY ALL UNDERSTAND: The plans for destruction of Christians in Plateau state is divided into the following: 1. The villages will be attacked and the inhabitants will either be decimated or flee to Jos.2. Jos will be bombed into submission, until a certain terms and conditions drafted by the fulani terrorists are agreed to by the Christian majority ;like the ongoin deal between America and Taliban in Quatar . 3. The north ; by default islam wins.

christ4mi: ;DGood news, abeg. Who ask the Berom to start a fight with fulani. Ask everybody in the North, nobody dares the fulani herdmen. They are deadly and have nothing to loose.

let me answer you, because I can see fear in you: they attacked because the fulanis have ALWAYS been attacking them in the past. And they have maintained that they will destroy them. They have no where else to go but Plateau state, so they have to stay and fight. Don't worry, you people in South West will understand PRACTICALLY, not theoretically anymore very soon.

sayusuf: when birom attack fulani, i already say it here, dat fulani wil revenge in bloody way..i know fulani.if u want to live your life, dont fight fulani.if birom continue to fight fulani, i think fulani wil raze them to extinction.

Boko Haram people on nairaland. Learnt that you're monitoring the internet now, acting as trolls. Don't worry, God will raise up judges for us. I know you cannot understand.

berem: Rest in piss senator! Na una turn to dey die one by one!!

Some of you are still immature, little children who don't understand what is going on. Let me say: what you are witnessing is the silencing of the Jos elites who want to fight the Hausa/ Fulani genocide, so as to leave open their people without leadership, and thereby become fair game for the killers. What they want is for the people of Jos to feel dominated, thus caving in to their domination. It is what the quran teaches- as a war strategy.

Now, the whole world views Nigeria as on par with failed states like Iraq and avoid us like plagues... So all the globe trotting in order to attract foreign investors is a waste. *pity...*

Does anybody in the house know how we can get free satellite tv in Nigeria?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLS CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE HAVE ALL BECOME IMMATURE,SHALLOW AND INFANTILE IN OUR APPROACH TO ANSWERING QUESTIONS ON NAIRALAND. DO WE HAVE TO ABUSE AND USE DIRTY WORDS TO DRIVE HOME OUR POINTS? CAN'T WE PUT OUR WORDS IN "FULL" INSTEAD OF ABBREVIATING THEM? Pls let's put a stop to all these juvenile mentality.

;DYES I DID! YES I DID! YES I DID!

Awalla: I have lived in Ghana for 5 years.Let me correct the impression here.Nigerians are not doing anything wrong here but that they are taking over every business available.Ghana is a law abiding country ,where it is very hard to commit crimes.Nigerians living here are law abiding.Most private schools here are filled with Nigerians.I live here ,it is just a simple case of jealousy,Nigerians here are taking over,businesses,schools,houses and even there women.Every Ghanaian girls dream is to have a Nigerian husband or boyfriend.The business men being talked about,are traders in Makola market in Accra.They have taken over the place ,that you will think they are in oke arin market and trade fair market in Lagos.So the Ghana government wants them to pay $200,000 to register and retain there shops,and we call ourselves ECOWAS brothers.And if you dont want to pay,you leave Ghana,is it fair? Meanwhile,nobody is asking Nigerian students in Ghana to leave,because they pay in dollars,and for sometimes now,the Ghana cedi is valueless.

Ask yourself;which type of Nigerians are being deported? They MAY LIKELY be the hausa beggars who may be Nigerian alqaeda in disguise. This may be done to prevent terrorists from invading their country.

canadaik: Seriously ?? can you see air ? but does that means it does not exist, you better stay within your boundaries! friend, there are powers!

Speaking of NURTW, when they had their last fight in 2011, i saw mopol round them up on tv (tokyo boys). One had a gunshot wound on his leg, one had his ifunpa(juju for the waist) with him; it was very big. YET NONE DISAPPEARED when the mopol rounded them up. JUJU IS REAL!

defemz: One thing is sure. There is a deep complicity within the northern muslim elite concerning this Boko Haram issue. They created this problem, they are the one nurturing it. Ironically, it is only the northerners that are benefiting from the present Nigerian arrangement and they are the only one that do not want nigeria to break up,but the good news is they are the ones that will eventually break it up.

YOUR STATEMENT SUMS UP THE WHOLE STORY. He that has ears to ear, let him ear.

2good: If happiness works well for these self help guru's then its fine for them. We are all unique and should learn now not to make what have been set before us to be our absolute standard in life.

Word. Love our intellectual discourse devoid of the usual infantile ramblings of some 'landers *too much gammar*. Hope you have a nice day.

2good: I can say when I'm happy and not another man because that will result to stereotyping. Basic law of economics states that human want is insatiable. I remember when I was doing my BSc, I saw earning 100k naira salary as a mega salary. But after earning a reasonable multiple of that figure over time, I ask myself what I really need to be satisfy. Everybody have different problem, goals and aspiration depending on their current status. Most EU citizens are not so bothered about saving for retirement because they have good social security, good pension program and on a worst case scenario you'll stay in a government house when you're old. But in Africa and most Asian countries, you are on your own and that sole reason makes people not to work for just today but also the future when their body starts to fail them and they have no where to go for help.
Your current state determines your reasoning and expectations from life.

In other words, you are saying that the physical condition of a man may IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS determine his level of happiness? Love that. Hope you talk to the hyper-ventilated self help gurus who believe that they can't be unhappy regardless of what happens to them, which sometimes i'm tempted to believe myself. Only that if one experiences what Nigerian religious and economic refugees experience, one may go totally insane from despair and depression.

2good: You are so on pint except that people think happiness have a universal definition and refuse to accept the fact that what makes them happy might not make others happy, hence they use their authority to impose their believes and ideology on others.

But happiness must have some minimum foundation; Dale Carnegie talked about : having the basics of existence (food, clothing, shelter), good relationship with the outside world, sex, laughter and a reasonable religion. Let me throw a challenge to you: when can you say a man is happy?

I suspect that the universal goal of mindkind all these centuries has been happiness. When nations go to war; to invade other countries, the end goal is to increase their own happiness; regardless of who gets trodden down, sex is all about happiness, even a terrorist believes that ULTIMATELY he or she would have happiness IN A HEAVENLY BROTHEL after killing or being killed. Everything about humans is to achieve that ultimate goal:HAPPINESS.

[color=#990000][/color] Very true my friend. But don't forget that nairaland is about first and foremost about Nigeria. All other things follow.

2good: Almost Every deformity, disease can be managed.

except when you don't have the right information, inspiration and environment(never mind the selfhelp gurus). John Nash was lucky because he came from a society almost devoid of they mythical. Imagine if it were to be Africa: the numbers of Pastors that would prophesy that you had a demon, the traditional healers who would see a curse on you, the rejection by your family since you're 'weird' and poverty plus it's cousin, starvation, since the mentally stable are still jobless themselves(don't forget :John Nash still had a job after the crisis and a loving wife), if that happened to you ,HAPPINESS MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE.

tchaik: "When I was a little child
Happiness was there for a while
Then from me it slipped away
Happiness come back I say
Cos if YOU DON'T COME, I'M GONNA GO LOOKING, FOR HAPPINESS"
BOB MARLEY!!!!!
Omo, no body holds ur happiness, if u no fit make urself happy, then u are totaly PHUCKED!!!!!

Have you ever heard of a disease called' schizophrenia', whose line of attack is the mind; rendering it useless by means of delusions, and voices which limit a man's happiness and joy. If u watched the film 'A Beautiful Mind 'concerning a man called John Nash, you will understand; that happiness has physical, environmental and genetic dimensions which can be difficult; if not outrightly impossible for some people to achieve at a point in time.

Superg_win: Nxt in line ll be foreign investors.. I percieve doom... *god ll help us*

WHERE ARE THE FOREIGN INVESTORS?

1. Peugeot Nig (gone)
2. Dunlop tires (gone)
3. Mercedes (gone)
4.Nasco (don't know)
5.Pirelli (gone before 2003)
6. Textile industries (relocated to Ghana)

So forget foreign, just pray the local ones don't run away.

azpekuliar: I disagree with your assertion that NO northern state is safe for prospective youth corp members. I served in Kebbi state in 2010 when the insurgency was making a rebound in the North-East after the brutal suppression of the sect in 2009 by the NPF, and my service year was peaceful. Its been 2 years since and the situation hasn't changed one bit. It is not enough to make a blanket generalization. Kebbi and a few other states in the North-West are close to the seat of the Caliphate in Sokoto and that accounts for their being Islamic moderates and hence a staunch resistance for this brand of violent extremism with roots in the North-East. Furthermore, the country as a whole has grave security challenges that are not just limited to any particular geographically location. The NYSC scheme also has its challenges chief among which is its integrity. I would rather engage in a debate on how to restructure the scheme and the Nigerian police in light of the new challenges they now face. Placing a blanket ban on the posting of corp members to any Northern state is an ultra-simplistic approach to the twin problem of national security and the integrity of the NYSC scheme.

[color=#990000][/color] I served very close to Yauri in Niger state. The situation of 2010 is COMPLETELY different from 2012. The people there were just sleeping hyenas; waiting to kill at the proper time. 0.05% of a word is CONVENIENTLY GOOD for the foolish!

talk true: All these tablets are the same
They should change to capsule

Bros, i GBAdun U!

Men, this is awesome... to imagine nothing to KILL or die for, no heaven or hell.
