nuzo:
My subjectivity arose from the fact that my objectivity for years have cost the heads of my innocent brothers for years.
However, I'm very much aware that my subjectivity which is the only solution for these genocide is a short term remedy. The long term remedy, would be fair justice, efficient law and order and of course mass literacy for the nigerian masses.
But until then, do me i do you; "god' no go vex.

Wallahi HIM go "vex",
But I hear exactly what you are saying, but continual slaughtering will not be the answer.
See as your long term remedy is really not a remedy, but a cure for this disease that has crippled Naija

They're plenty Hausa in Ghana, but they would not have the balls to try such a thing there.
We need to put more stringent laws in place to catch these purpotrators.

But more importantly we need educate our Nigerian brothers in the northen tip
Say no to Sharia Law, and yes to western-styled education. Freedom to the people, censorship is wrong and should be outright banned.

I was watching a youtube video about the Kano censorship board. They claim that they will only allow books that children can read to be sold in Northern Nigeria. This is outright control and manipulation!

Gas is currently 73 cents CAD here in Canada. We cant complain since it was over a dollar in the summer so
My question is when will OPEC collude and artificially inflate the price?

nuzo:
The hausa jihadist have learnt their lessons from what happened to them in the last genocide. They can burn down Igbo owned shops but are afraid to tamper with any Igbo life. . . lol.
I knew that the noise about why the Igbos must pay higher taxes, educate the almajiri jihadists that doesnt want to go to school and not revenge when slaughtered for nothing wouldnt be the talk of the day if Igbos were killed and shipped back to onitsha as they usually did it in the past. The talk of the day would have been; how did the Igbos manage to fish out and slaughter the jihadist hiding in barracks and government houses.

Words to my Iweka and Aba boys; cool temper for now, burnt material things are not worth wasting anybody's life. Leave it until next time.

You are such a Tool, a Tool you got that.
You talk with such subjectivity that you fail to grasp the real underlying issues.

Yes reports say that there were over 300 Muslims killed:

381 Muslims Massacred in Jos, Nigeria, With Complete Black Out of CNN-Fox

By Hassan El-Najjar

ccun.org, November 30, 2008


While US main corporate media units, particularly CNN and Fox TV stations, were 24-7 covering the Momnbai attacks, Muslims were massacred in the city of Jos, in Nigeria. In terms of the number of the victims, Nigerian Muslim victims were double of the number of the Indian victims.

In Iraq, dozens were also killed, and scores were injured, in addition to protests against the US-Iraqi security pact, which allows US forces to stay in Iraq three more years, meaning that the Iraq war may continue for the same period.

In Afghanistan, 61 Afghanis were massacred in just two days by US-led NATO and Afghani forces.

The Israeli brutal siege of Gaza Strip continues, punishing about 1.8 million Palestinians, who began to starve and who are living in darkness after the severe shortages of food and fuel supplies as a result of the Israeli occupation government siege.

The CNN-Fox continuous coverage of the Mombai attacks for the last five days was a golden opportunity to run away from the news they do not want the American people to know.

It has been a perfect example of how certain news are focused upon and others are ignored completely even if they are more important.

It is also an attempt to impose the defunct 'war on terror' on the Obama administration.

America is in need of a publicly-funded and independent TV network, which tells the American people the truth as it is, not as the special interest groups want it to be.

Hundreds die in fighting after Nigeria election

Agence France-Presse
Published: Saturday November 29, 2008
LAGOS (AFP) –

Hundreds of people were killed in the central Nigerian city of Jos when Christians and Muslims clashed over the result of a local election, witnesses said Saturday.

"I was at the central mosque this afternoon and I counted 378 dead bodies but just as I was about to leave, 3 more bodies were brought, a correspondent for Radio France Internationale in Jos, Aminu Manu, told AFP.

"Hundreds of people have been killed in the last two days since the riots started. Remains of burnt bodies litter some parts of the town; it is so terrible," Christian clergyman Yakumu Pam said.

Local Radio Plateau said the governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, had placed four districts of the city placed under a curfew and ordered police to fire on anyone who broke it following the clashes on Friday.

Aminu Manu said incidents of violence were still being reported in the city Saturday.

"So far over 10,000 people have been displaced from their homes and are now seeking refuge in churches, mosques and army and police barracks," a Nigerian Red Cross official in Jos said.

"I can't give any figures but there are dead bodies on the streets that are yet to be evacuated. We are afraid of an outbreak of an epidemic if they are allowed to decompose," he told AFP.

"In these places where people are taking refuge, there is no water and no food. We call on the Nigerian emergency management agencies to come to their aid," he added.

A brief government statement late Friday said that President Umaru Yar'Adua had sent in army troops to contain the situation.

Local residents said several churches and mosques were razed in the violence, which started with a rumour that the All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) had lost the election to the federal ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP).

The ANPP is perceived locally to be a predominantly Muslim party, and the PDP to be mainly Christian.

Jos is the administrative capital of Plateau state. It was the scene of a week of violence between Christians and Muslims in September 2001 that also left hundreds dead.

At Least 300 Dead in Post-Election Fighting in Nigeria, AP Says

By Ladka Bauerova

Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) --

At least 300 people have been killed in two days of post-election violence in Nigeria as mobs burned homes, churches and mosques, the Associated Press reported.

Authorities in the central Nigerian city of Jos imposed a round-the-clock curfew and sent troops to curb fighting between Hausa Muslims and Christians, AP said. The bodies of 300 victims were taken to the main mosque in Jos for prayers before burial, AP said, citing Sheikh Khalid Abubakar.

Violence flared yesterday after electoral workers failed to publicly post results of the first local election in Jos in more than a decade, AP said.

Nigeria: Dozens Killed in Jos LG Election Riot

Seriki Adinoyi Jos And Chinwe Ochu in Abuja

Dozens of people were feared dead yesterday owing to skirmishes in the Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State over the result of the council polls widely believed to have been won by the candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Barrister Timothy Gyang Buba.

Unconfirmed reports said the clashes between rival political gangs started late on Thursday leading to the death of several people in the city.

To stem violence and rising death toll, the state government imposed a dusk to dawn curfew starting at 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in the city, with the federal government expressing concern and condemning the incident in totality.

Two serving generals in the Nigerian Army, Major General Nick Agbogun and Brigadier General U.J. Uwurgbe, who arrived the city from the Chief of Army Staff conference in Bauchi State were shot at in a cross fire between political thugs who took over the streets of the city.

Eight students of the University of Jos, a policeman and a government house driver from Bauchi State were also feared killed in the riot.

Eyewitnesses said supporters of the All Nigerian People's Party (ANPP) allegedly became violent following speculations that their candidate, whom they said was leading the PDP candidate, was about to be "declared the loser."

The ANPP protesters said they were not fighting people but fighting government "because of their action." The results of the elections were still being collated when the crisis broke out.

Agency reports said youths with machetes hacked to death a policeman and burned tyres in one part of the city. Several mosques and churches were also reported to have been set ablaze.

Plumes of thick black smoke rose up over the Akpata neighbourhood. Some residents said several homes and shops were also set ablaze.

Declaring a dusk to dawn curfew, the state governor, Mr. Jonah David Jang, in a state wide broadcast said the problem was restricted to Jos city only

He said, "A few hours after the close of the election, a group of thugs took the law into their hands by attacking residents and destroying houses and property in some parts of Jos.

"The state's Security Council met to the early hours of this morning (yesterday) and directed the police to respond accordingly. I wish to warn that any further disruption of the peace will be met with drastic sanctions. The security details are under instruction to return fire-for-fire from any person or group disrupting the peace".

As at the time of this report, police patrol vehicles were seen evacuating some dead bodies from the streets, raising fears that many more bodies were yet to be recovered.

The Plateau State Police public relations officer, Mr. Bala Kassim confirmed that one police officer was killed in the violence.

Bodies of people killed during the violence were deposited at the Jos University Teaching Hospital, JUTH. About 50 injured people were also seen at JUTH.

Hundreds of residents of Jos North Local Government Area were said to have taken refuge at the MaxWell Khobe Cantonment, Rukuba Barracks in Bassa Local Government Area.

Reacting to the incident, the federal government assured residents of Jos North of "prompt intervention."

Minister of Information and Communication, Mr. John Odey, while receiving members of the House of Representatives Committee on Information in his office, said the government regarded the Jos violence as a ploy to undermine its reform programmes.

He said: "The federal government is sad and concerned about the violence in Jos Plateau State which has led to the loss of lives and property over the conduct of the on-going local government elections.

"The government views the violence trailing the election as unfortunate and a ploy to undermine the reform programme of the administration. The president is sad; the federal government is concerned about lives and property in the state as well as in other states of the federation.

"It is necessary for politicians as well as the electorate to appreciate the importance of working together and ensuring absolute peace, without which there can be no development. We urge security agencies in the state to bring the situation under control as quickly as possible."

Also, the president's Special Adviser on Communications, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi gave assurances that "The president is on top of the situation having been fully briefed on the phone by the governor."

He added that the president has met with relevant security chiefs after which he directed that the military be deployed to the affected areas to curb the crisis.

"The president feels very sad about the violence and all the relevant government agencies have been placed on alert to take care of the injured and displaced people."

Meanwhile, the Arewa Consultative Forum has appealled to the warring parties to sheathe their swords and allow peace to rein in the interest of peaceful coexistence and core values of humanity that are sine qua non for the pursuit of liberty, justice, worship and prosperity.

The ACF through an e-mail forwarded by it national publicity secretary, Mr. Anthony N. Z. Sani said Nigeria has in place enough judicial mechanisms for peaceful resolutions of perceived injustices, to which all aggrieved citizens are expected to address their grievances, rather than resort to taking the law into their hands.

"Differences in ethnicity, of faiths and in party platforms or ideology are facts of this nation's reality. What is required of every law-abiding citizen is for him/her to accept the reality of one united Nigeria in diversity: love it and make the most of the diversity's possible good," the forum stated.

ACF sent out it condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones and properties, or got wounded, in the course of the skirmishes.

It appealed to the people of Jos to allow the spirit of forgiveness to prevail, as enjoined by God/Allah "who has the capacity to replace the losses many fold."

That Jos North must have many Yoruba too. Or maybe they were possibly targeted by the Hausa assailants
I have friend who lives by the Nassarawa area of JNorth. He told my how must of the victims were infact Hausa.

What if you buy the car and then go to Ondo/Ogun state to do business?

arramyjay:
Ok,I don't much about Jos or its people but I have learnt somethings from this forum that they the northners, And i also learnt that they don't really go to school,but this same people killed,now it only shows one thing that they can't read nor understand,The Quran is there so that people can read and understand.I doubt if you ever see a well dressed and educated person killing.

These riots are perpetrated by highly educated Northen Muslims.
Do you think that Osama Bin Laden is a daft? But is he the one blowing himself up in the name of Allah? No it is the illiterate Muslims

Islamic followers are very easy prey for these educated northern muslims, because they can be easily manipulated.
Islam is a religion that virtually takes away ones free will, so if some powerful imam/poltician told you that it is the will of Allah to kill Christians it would not be difficult for one to succumb.

We need to educate the Northen Masses that is the only way we will fight this power struggle.

You people are crazy

What the hell is going on with the raptors they drop their last three straight. Today's loss against Portland was a heart breaker.
(Oden is such an unpolished player, but Portland looks good and I don't how?)
On a lighter note I see the Cav's giving a run against Boston in the east.

I think Detroit will fall off by mid-season. Allan Iverson is too individualistic for the Pistons system of play.
I am still a firm believer that OJ Mayo will be MVP because he takes 20 shots a night, and plays for a depleted roster.

But I am starting to be a Derrick Rose fan too. The man is lightning quick, up there with the likes of TJ Ford and Iverson.
I am surprised that New Jersey is above .500 . I thought they were on crack when they traded away Jefferson for Yi. Harris is killing it for them though.

Edo's High literacy rate could also be a factor. Education

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3191805#msg3191805 date=1228607480]Do you watch your basketball via Al-Jazeera so its Howard that has proven himself as a champion abi? i have heard! anyone that watched that Final in 06 would tell you that generous officiating and ill luck mixed with some poor calls remember Josh Howard's blunder in game 5? was what cost us the championship Howard has not done squat to be mentioned in the same breath as Dirk
Are you kidding me single handedly ko single leggedly ni!! i am sure you don't know they have solid players like Turkoglu and Rashad Lewis in their roster
Orlando ain't legit they still have the Celts,Cavs and the Pistons ahead of them in the East they ain't contending nothing they are too light-weight[/quote]And I bet Dallas is contending in the West for you? Fat Chance.
The Magic have a better chance at post-season play than Dallas.

You guys traded of Devin Harris for Kidd and it has no reaped any rewards.
High-powered offense will get you to the play-offs, but it wont do you squat once your there.

I hope at the end of the day she knows who is boss though

ugborikoko:
The population of black people on earth stands at 852million people, of the over 6billion people. Why then should a none white man be the president of the world i.e President of the USA?

OP you a Moronic nincompoop. You are probably the type to worship Oyinbo.
Obama is deserved of the presidency because of his hard work. Nothing more or else.

See bastard Liar, it was definitely more than a push.
Unemployed for more than two years. So you want to raise children in poverty.
Better you go back to the village and farm!

Arise o compatriots,

I bet you Mark Cuban and the rest Dallas would not mind giving up Dirk Dirk for Howard.
Dirk Dirk is not a champion he has not proven himself worthy of one in the past.

Howard has almost single handedly made the magic a eastern champion contender
(all though we all know that Boston will go all the way)

Hey who here thinks that Iverson is going to dismantle the Detroit chemistry?
I don't know what Detroit was thinking when they traded away a Champion like Billups?

grafikdon:
OP. . . you have a swell sense of humour. OBJ, yeah. . . the bloody thief/murderer/sadist. Wake up from your wonderful fantasy world and take a whiff of reality, because there is no such thing as "Good'' when you talk about Nigerian leaders, past and present, living and dead, sick and healthy. Forget about "Better" and don't even think about "Best".

Thank you. We cannot even relatively judge these crooks.

Frizy:
What Can We Nigerians Do To Make Nigeria Great ?

1. Shun corruption of all sorts.
2. Avoid tribal conflicts.
3. Promote quality goods not quantity goods.
4. Say no to a globalization that cripples local industries.
5. Encourage a fair completion and avoid monopoly.
6. Reject preferencial treatment but act justly.
7. Encourage scientific and technological research among citizens.
8. Say no to a centralized banking system.

I find this very interesting can you provide some rationale for such a thought process.

I don't want to die in the near future, so no

Roy Keane is a hooligan a tout.
I don't know who gave him the job in the first place.

The U.S. economy is not going to fall apart.
Listen the US currency right now should be in shambles due to the sub-prime mortgage crises which is the root cause of the US recession, not oil.


But it is not because the US being the US just creates inflation tax, by producing US treasury bills and keeping there currency high.
The moral of the story is that the US should be in shambles but the the world still just in them and the greenback. They will still remain the power.

Just think about the repercussions if their biggest trading partner China wanted to move into the number one spot?

The hoozey, come on.

You know its all lov bruh. Take it easy, by the way what are you drinking? Dark Sailor or Agogoro?

yemmyse:
Josboy u didnt get it. U were born with it. Simply natural

ROTL,

17 ol' boy you done try for this you na life.

But as per Indomie having carcinogenic ingredients I wouldn't be surprised.
You wonder why Oyinbo get so much Cancer, it's the food they eat. ALL containerized in cardboard.

There has been no good president in Nigeria.
If you people want to rank these politicians who have stolen and looted from us be my guest.
As for me I believe they should all be paying back the money they stole with interest!

The Warriors then were a very different team then now.

A picture speaks a thousand words. So if you want it to be about Northern leaders teaching Southern leaders corruption so be it.
But I would prefer to believe that all Nigerian Leaders are corrupt irrespective of their ethnicity.  
Our culture sto stop rewarding those who cheat, from market women to Yar Adua in Aso Rock.

Sleep is the cousin of death
