I can't inform people quickly enough. The time has come, NIGERIA WILL SOON BE OVER. It has begun.

I've taken down a few dates which i intend quoting around may. Feb 1st is definitely one of those dates.

^ When i posted a thread on how military officers of hausa origin were aiding in the killing of christians before the retaliations, one id¡ot was actually accusing me of fabrication.
If There's any thing i can vouch for in this life, It's that the hausa man is a retrogressive and unproductive entity. A man who can send his children to live on the streets without any feeling of compassion is worse than a dog.

You know why i like Chelsea FC ? Any time the chavs make too much noise the team brings them back to earth with a woeful performance.
They never fail.

When people are in a situation to coexist peacefully the rational thing is to break up. Is there anything Yugoslavia did not do to try to remain one ? That area was so volatile just a decade ago but see how all those people are enjoying peace today after splitting up.

When edoyad spoke, they called him a bigot.
Let me tell you newbies something, alqaeda is already in Nigeria and i'm not playing around this time. When you pass by stalls and shops and see posters of Osama in camouflage along with planes crashing into the WTC pasted to the walls, you know What's up.
Look at it this way, how is possible that Mutallab is the first and only person from Nigeria to train with the alqaeda ? He didn't hear about it from friends, family or neighbours ? Think about that.

I pray to anything that has the power to make this the eventual fate of Nigeria make it happen.
Let's all go home

The same way they kill people and then come and start yarning genocide when There's retaliation. You think men remain docile forever ? Everyday for the thief . . . .

From From Yusuf Alli, Jide Babalola and Dele Anofi,

Abuja

Christian elders in Plateau State alleged yesterday that soldiers took sides in the Jos riots.

Amidst mounting fears and suspicion in Jos, members of the Plateau State Christian Elders’ Forum (PSCEF) called on the Federal Government and the international community to investigate the role of "mischievous soldiers" in the orgy of violence.

Although the Army told our correspondents in Abuja yesterday that it is impossible for soldiers to be involved in the killing of innocent citizens, especially when the Chief of Army Staff is supervising the operations, the PSCEF insisted that such killings took place.

In a statement entitled: "Nigerian soldiers are perpetuating genocide in Jos city", PSCEF’s Secretary-General Dr. Musa Pam and its National Coordinator, Bishop Bok Andersen, insisted that investigations would prove that their allegations are not frivolous.

The elders said: "With the religious crisis in Plateau State entering its fourth day, we are sad to announce that the real culprits that have been killing our Christian brethrens are Nigerian soldiers. At the instance of the Federal Government, the military were deployed to calm tempers in the state but our findings have shown that some of these soldiers disguised themselves by wearing white canvass with military uniforms as a decoy so that they will be mistaken for fake soldiers.

"These soldiers have killed hundreds of innocent citizens in Chwelnyap, Jos North and Angwan Doki in Bukuru, both popular Christian communities in Jos city.

"We condemn this genocide against Christians by Nigerian soldiers in Jos and hereby call on the Federal Government and the international community to investigate these activities of those who have sworn to protect the integrity of the nation and our defenceless citizens.

"It is also amazing that these mischievous elements in the Nigerian Army who pretend to be ‘fake’ have entered these communities, breaking into homes of the helpless and defenceless citizens, evacuating them and shooting them sporadically. Our hearts weep for what is happening here, which we believe is being sponsored by some dubious elements in the name of religion.

"But should they use a government agency like the military? Is this another Odi or Zaki Biam? In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call on the Federal Government to intervene and stop this mischief by its agents called the Nigerian soldiers."

But Director of Army Public Relations Brig.-Gen. Chris Olukolade pleaded for understanding and reflection on the Army’s position, adding that it is extremely unfair for anyone in Plateau to try to drag soldiers into an "unnecessary controversy".

"It cannot be true; rather, the involvement of the Nigerian Army has helped in bringing the situation to a state of near normalcy. It will be unfair to accuse the army of involvement in such heinous acts. I am just coming back from Jos and the residents have been commending the Nigerian Army for doing an excellent job in the protection of lives and property.

"We have been doing our job in the most professional way and we believe that it is extremely unfair for anyone to consider dragging our name into any controversy; we are appealing that no one should drag us into any controversy. I am just returning from Jos this evening and the Chief of Army Staff was personally there today.

"Everybody in Plateau State and elsewhere, including the Plateau State government, has been commending the Nigerian Army for its efforts; so, we are surprised that anyone can make such allegations," Gen. Olukolade said.

Jos, the Plateau State capital seized by four days of violence, was struggling yesterday to recover from the hangover.

More than 3,000 displaced persons are taking refuge at the Bukuru Police Division and a mosque in the town.

NAN reports that the displaced persons were those whose homes were destroyed during the skirmishes.

A cleric in the area, Mallam Ahmed Mohammed, said that women and children were evacuated to the area for protection.

He said that food, drugs, mats and blankets were needed to protect the victims from hunger, cold and diseases.

The Plateau Specialist Hospital, which has been treating the injured since the outbreak of the crisis, is reportedly running out of drugs.

A pharmacist in the hospital, Mr Moses Ayuba, told NAN that the hospital was using the last batch of consignments.

He called on the Federal Ministry of Health to come to the aid of the state, even as the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Pam Danlong, welcomed assistance from individuals and organisations, for the victims.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Ogbonna Onovo, described the damage from the Jos crisis as "substantial".

He told newsmen after inspecting the ruins at the flashpoints, that it was unfortunate the crisis took place at all, but was consoled with the timely deployment of police and soldiers who contained it.

Onovo visited Congo-Russia, Dutse Uku, Bukuru, Rikkos, Nasarawa Gwong and Bisichi where fires were still smouldering.

The Inspector-General said he would direct investigation into the claim that some men appeared in army uniform to unleash terror on citizens during the crisis.

More soldiers are being deployed, with the arrival of two lorry-loads of soldiers from outside the city.

Some starving residents in Jos have defied the 24-hour government curfew imposed since Tuesday, as they say they can no longer tolerate the attendant hunger and thirst.

"These soldiers have killed hundreds of innocent citizens in Chwelnyap, Jos North and Angwan Doki in Bukuru, both popular Christian communities in Jos city.

"We condemn this genocide against Christians by Nigerian soldiers in Jos and hereby call on the Federal Government and the international community to investigate these activities of those who have sworn to protect the integrity of the nation and our defenceless citizens.

you cant use your hands hands ba ?

Monkeys don get mouth yoday, E no go go better for Wenger.

If those id¡ots in abuja like, let them not go and wake their god up from his sleep in Saudi. Right before our eyes everything go kata-kata and sadists like me will enjoy the whole thing.

Abeg let us hear word jare. He came into power by controversy, that James Umaru guy in ANPP was robbed of his governorship by your chief Servantness- so i was told while serving. Though the guy tried in some areas like providing IT training, Laptops and PCs for civil servants, can you for the love of god tell me why a state with such low federal allocation(which translates to low revenue base in Nigeria) bought Toyota Prado SUVs for all It's commissioners ?
That state exists to serve to one family in minna, the IBBs. The guy should just use his time to focus on Agric, cos i don't see why a state with a land mass bigger than the whole of the south-south is not feeding Africa.

Haha , Balaam and donkey trying to take credit for other people's prayers .
Your captain and keeper were nothing but squad players that filled the numbers in those teams nitwit. Even Hleb had the decency . . . .

Go and live where they are when there is a religious misunderstanding and you'll know.

Wily wily go sleep

Hausa man doesn't know there are people who don't believe in god. LOL . Be a good christian ? Or what did your Imam tell you ?
If you like keep resisting, as long as you're here i must educate you on how to use internet. No provision for almajiri here.

Balaam and donkey have sure got ammo today. But after all's said and done, is there any thing new you're saying ?

Yawn we were in right here in this spot on the 1st of december till january came and turned everything on It's head. Now we're here again with even less of a gap and a couple of interesting fixtures. Let's Come back after our next four matches and see if it'll still be like this.

I've been following this man for three years now, while i know It's "possible" for him to be involved in some unwholesome practices, He's light has never dimmed in my eyes
below is the group text message i sent to some friends in the newyear, since i'm browsing with phone i just copied and pasted:

Happy new year and more territory to be conquered in this new decade.

Fashola is man of the year and the ideal role model for a land with none to boast of.

True talk Nani reacted to our dissing . Isn't it Ibime and nateevs that caused that crap ? Coming to our thread to discuss a Scummie, wait till Arsenal catch those OAPs next week. . Meanwhile It's not too late, deadline is tomorrow evening, what do you say Mr Wenger ? We're still 5 points behind Chelsea which is a touching distance

Eastbay stop being a limp d¡ck and realise that Nani according to the law of averages will perform well in some matches and be Nani in most matches. Let's see you singing his name in two weeks

@HNIC, when i saw the line up i said same thing, funny thing is Arshavin kind of contributed to our woes with poor decisions. The whole team was whack though.

John Terry is a barsterd, any time a Chelsea player arrives before him for training he'll be wondering if He's somewhere doing something to their wife.

Gunners how we dey ? We knew this would be a difficult period so no biggie, Wenger could have helped us a great deal by bringing in that striker but he refused. So it's now half way through the dire straits and 5 points behind the pace setters and i'm cool with that.

Depilot are you friends with them too ? You speak like you have insiders info.

Hi Dexter

@Jalether na you carry me go Ipswish ?

Go gunners ! 45 mins to break backs.

I need goals , goals.

Why is Ferguson pis.sing in his pants ?

Wenger has already left an open message to the FA pertaining to he who likes to dive in the box. Now that we've revealed their secret, how do they expect to score at Emirates.
