Hatred and conflict are often rooted in differences between people different races and religions. We all need to respect people of different races as people of different faiths and religions. We need to unite by recognizing our com desire and need for a harmonious society -- a society in which we and our child families and friends and communities can all live our lives in peace and harmony Regardless of our race or religion, we all want and need such social harmony.

Peace is the highest religion. Peace is the glory of humanity.

Converting to Islam isn't the problem. Buh people like this kemi with mental illness converting is the wahala. With her unpredictable and unstable behavior, she will use two weeks in Islam and come out to tell people that Islam is not the way,that there's No God which will now cause religious yab among the public ..
Well religion to me is choice be it islam, Christianity etc. I'm not a Religious Fanatic

Pictures of the soldiers and jet ? Though there's an attack but propaganda shouldn't be included in the scene.. North Central and North East needs emergency attention..

izombie:
sorry to say this but this is no longer time to tolerate or accomodate nonsense. Igbos have made it clear that they will retaliate if igbos are attacked anywhere in the country. Where do yorubas stand? Please don't say one nigeria because there is only fulani nigeria.

Really? Do you also read it anywhere that yoruba will sleep whenever yorubas are attacked anywhere in the country?

horsepower101:
No I don’t intend to divide any group but I speak from reality. There is a deep religious divide among Yorubas and it’s becoming very difficult to hide.

In the past before social media, it was easy to use Lagos Ibadan media to hide it.

Just like it was easy to hide the underperformance in education in the south west.

But today is becoming very obvious. Deny it all you want but the reality will not change regardless of your denial.

lol! You know yorubas more than yorubas themselves shea? Ohk .. Yorubas are divided, is that not what you wanna hear?

it's hard to believe online stories these days... So many fake and cooked up stories now online most especially this twitter

gidgiddy:
My point is that Ojukwu and Kanu have done far more than.sny Yoruba man can ever do to liberate their people. So If Ojukwu and Kanu took action and failed, it certainly won't be Yorubas ,who are only good at talking, that will succeed

My question to you is this, what is the essence of wasting lives without achieving your aim? You know how many lives ojukwu wasted .

horsepower101:
Nobody is dividing anyone. Yorubas are already divided.

Are you the one that divide Us?

gidgiddy:
Seceding or even separatist activity needs a lot of backbone.

Yorubas don't have an Ojukwu that can secede and neither do they have an Nnamdi Kanu's who can take up separatist activity.

All they have is their mouth to talk too much with no action.

Yorubas are not freedom fighters, so what is best for Yorubas is to stay in Nigeria and keep begging the caliphate for restructuring. Besides this, I don't see any other future for Yorubas.

Slavery

The igbos that have ojukwu and kanu with high spirit of freedom fighting are still in Nigeria today.. So what exactly is your point? Ojukwu and kanu didn't achieve anything buh killing of their people....

Cyynthialove:
Here they go.

It's funny when an igbo man is trying to divide yorubas along religious line ..

An enemy of the Yoruba Muslim retards.

Yorubas are Yorubas irrespective of their religious differences....

Cyynthialove:
We Christian/Progressive Yorubas have been agitating for ododuwa, but fanatical Yoruba mozlems have sworn with their lives to be sabotaging it just because of their allegiance to the caliphate.
And my question is,...Is the caliphate more important than the interest of yorubas ?. This will tell you that average Yoruba mozlem place religion ist before the interest of yorubas .The same people will jump to your mention and be shouting "Yoruba is Yoruba" even when its obvious that there is difference between light and darkness.
When Adeyinka Grandson was agitating for Oduduwa, 78 Yoruba mozlems went to report him to the caliphate for trying to separate them from their Fulani masters. I even stated it clear on my profile..." Show me a Yoruba Muslim supporting Oduduwa and I will show you a pregnant Virgin"

Yoruba mozlems hate when their activities are being exposed, but I Cyynthialove don't give a damn about their wailing no matter how they jump on my mention to stop me.
They are dragging yorubas and southerners backwards and they are disgrace to entire Yoruba race .
But we must continue no matter how they struggle to pull us down.

Many people here on Nairaland definitely knows that you are not yoruba... 90% of your comments here is all about dividing yorubas on religion line which yourself knew that your tactics doesn't sell...
We Yorubas are known to be the most tolerating, accommodating and harmonious
tribe or ethnic group in Nigeria, especially when it comes to religion.

playing up the differences between the groups won't work oga. We can fight ourselves when it comes to money,property, leadership, politics, or land matters,but religious crisis has never occurred in Yorubaland.Yorubas are Yorubas irrespective of their religious differences.

lastempero:
They better stop all this nonsense,when it's glaring that the government is not ready to solve the problem at hand and u are busy protesting.

U guys should just start attacking instead of defending

What! N u think this is the solution? Will it solve the problem or escalate it more?

Why can't there be peace in the world? Why are people so different, so violent and so insensitive to others?

See her forehead like lagos - ibadan express road.. If Nigerians catch your husband eh. Igalo no get goal sense i swr and dm gv am no 9. 2 clear chances o..

Not a single mum i guess.... He went out with 7kids and he wrote 6 kids instead of 7

I see Nigeria in the round of 16.... Nigeria 1 - 1 Argentina . Final score .

North the fact is that the poverty index in the North is rising and not in any way showing signs of decreasing. I'm very sure it's Northern Nigeria that lead Nigeria to overtook India to hit the rank of No.1 country with extreme poverty....

The North controls political power in Nigeria but has not been able to use that political power to help itself. Building longest overhead bridge and underground bypass with no human development doesn't sound well.

FriendNG:
Well done premium times for reporting the other side of the untold story.

So this so called untold story justified the killings in Plateau? Religion or tribe should never be allowed to block our sense of reasoning...

The reason why these herdsmen don't fear is just because of the fulani president . He is also into cattle rearing and don't joke with cow or fulani matter. All these rubbish is just a matter of time..

This is not the first,second and even the third time that this is happening, yet we have security agencies in this country. 11 communities was attacked without any intervention from one single security agency. 5000 policemen was deployed to one useless APC convention while almost 100 people were murdered in Plateau State.

 A responsible Government will not allow herdsmen to be killing human beings like chicken . Are these killers ghosts?

 The most annoying thing is that the police will come out to condemned this act, tell us that the victims of the attack are not more than 20 and impose useless curfew after the deed is done. Is like the main work of the police is to comfirm,condemn and recovery of dead bodies . What are the sins of these people? Is it because they are Nigerians? Unfortunately we have a president whose only concern and business is cows and Ranches..

Friday Olokor, Jos
Plateau State was on Sunday thrown into mourning with the killing of 86 persons in the attacks on about 11 communities in the Gashish District by suspected Fulani herdsmen .
The Police Command in Plateau State had earlier on Sunday confirmed the attacks , saying it had only recovered 11 corpses from some of the villages . But residents had insisted that about 200 people were killed by the marauding herdsmen .
However , the police later issued a statement that indicated that the death toll in the attack on the communities in the Barkin Ladi Local Government Area on Saturday night had risen to 86. It added that six people were injured , 50 houses burnt , 15 motorcycles razed while two motor vehicles were torched .
The spokesperson for the Plateau State Police Command , Matthias Tyopev , an Assistant Superintendent of Police, in an updated statement issued on Sunday night , said the earlier 11 death toll in the attacks was due to the information at its disposal as of then before the arrival of the search and rescue team from the Barkin Ladi LGA .
Tyopev had identified the 11 corpses as Dalyop Vanode , Dom Danladi, Bururu Wade , Joju Rala,Titus Danladi, Bitrus Malat , Alu Matir , Noron Monday, Cecilia Yohana , Dam Bulus and Ladi Danladi.
He said , “ Sequel to the attack in the Gashish District of Barkin Ladi LGA yesterday (Saturday ) June 23, 2018, the Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command , Jos, Undie Adie, after deploying more personnel in the district sent a search and rescue team from the Command headquarters today (Sunday ) for an on - the - spot assessment .
“ The team headed by ACP Edeh John of the Department of Operations had also the DPO of the Barkin Ladi Division and a Unit Commander from Mopol 38. After a careful search of the villages attacked in the District , the following were discovered : 86 persons altogether were killed , six people injured , 50 houses burnt , 15 motorcycles and two motor vehicles also burnt .
“ The team also carried out a detailed deployment . Corpses were released to the families for burial . The command earlier in the day confirmed only 11 people dead as the result of the attacks due to the information at its disposal before the arrival of the search and rescue team from the Barkin Ladi LGA . This is to update members of the public of the situation as regards the attacks in the Gashish District as promised earlier on .”
Also , there were fears that some soldiers were missing during the attack but the Commander of the Special Military Task Force codenamed Operation Safe Haven, Maj . Gen. Anthony Atolagbe , dismissed the report. He said , “ it ’s not true, no soldier died and no soldier is missing .”
While the Peoples Democratic Party and the Christian Association of Nigeria , called on the global community to rescue Plateau State from the attacks , the Plateau State Government imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in the Riyom , Barkin Ladi and Jos South LGAs .
The decision, according to the government , is to avert the breakdown of law and order.
A statement issued on Sunday by the Secretary to the State Government , Rufus Bature, said movement would be restricted from 6 pm to 6 am , except those on essential duties .
“ The soil of Plateau smells with rotten dead bodies as a result of silent killings and many people are missing ,” CAN stated.
The attack was said to have been launched at Xland. Gindin Akwati, Ruku , Nghar , Kura Falls and Kakuruk all in Gashish District were completely sacked by the assailants.
Other areas affected by the attacks included Rakok , Kok and Razat in the Ropp District .
The Chairman , Public Accounts and Petition Committee in the Plateau State House of Assembly representing the Barkin Ladi constituency , Peter Gyendeng , in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday said the attacks were a declaration of war on his constituency .
He claimed that mercenaries were hired to kill people in the Barkin Ladi LGA .
Gyendeng said , “ As a matter of fact , the casualty rate is in hundreds; it is more than 100 . In one place, it is above 51, in another , over 32 and yet in another area , it is same . For now , based on what we have on the ground and the corpses that we have been receiving , it is probably over 200 casualties.
“ Altogether , about 11 villages were attacked and our people are there now trying to ascertain the number of deaths . The casualty rate is above 200 and counting (of the corpses ) is still going on .
“ This is war; it is a declaration of war on my people . War has been declared on the Barkin Ladi LGA completely . There are mercenaries that have been hired to come and kill people in the Barkin Ladi LGA . The killing started around 11pm last (Saturday ) night till this (Sunday ) morning. And the killing still continues.”
Reacting to the killings , the PDP described Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State as an “ absentee governor , who had been out of the state for the past three weeks .
The party called on the international community to “ come to the aid of Plateau people as apart from the over 130 people killed , many are missing .”
The PDP in a statement by its Publicity Secretary in Plateau State , John Akans, described the attacks as genocide .
He said , “ We received with rude shock the level of genocide going on now in the Gashish District , Razat , Ruku Nyarr and Gana - Ropp , all in the Barkin Ladi LGA . We also note with great pains the dastardly attacks ongoing in many other LGAs in the state by the Fulani militias .
“ We condemn , in the strongest terms , the level of continuous genocidal attacks on Plateau people . At the moment, Barkin Ladi is under siege by the marauders with over 130 people feared to have been killed . As of the time of issuing this statement , CAPRO School of Missions - SOM in Gana - Ropp is under heavy attack by the militia.
“…We call on the international community to come to the aid of Plateau people as beside the over 130 people killed , many are missing . While we mourn our people , we are calling on this failed , incompetent and ineffective APC government at all levels to , for once , be sensitive by discharging its constitutional responsibility of protecting lives and properties of its citizens .
“ While killings are going on , the President (Muhammadu Buhari ) is busy telling members of the international community that Nigeria is safe for investment and tourism .
“ While the Federal Government is planning to pump hundreds of billions of naira into the construction of cattle ranches in states , killings are ongoing in states that have not put in place any ban on open grazing .”
But the Plateau State Government commiserated with citizens especially , Xland, Gindin Akwati communities of the Barkin Ladi LGA , saying it held every single life as sacred .
The government requested citizens to use the “ early warning system” mechanism recently launched by Operation Rainbow on 30812 for SMS and 09060100010 for voice calls .
A statement by the Plateau State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Yakubu Dati , said the government was deeply pained that despite concerted efforts which had led to the restoration of relative peace in the state, “ some unpatriotic elements are bent on disrupting the gains so far made .”
He said , “ The government condemns these attacks and has mobilised the full compliments of security forces and they are restoring normalcy in the affected areas and the environs . Furthermore , the government holds every single life as sacred hence has mobilised medical and relief agencies to ameliorate the suffering of those in distress .
“ As a government , we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment that will guarantee peaceful coexistence among the various groups in the state as we remain resolute to the well being of our people .”

The already compromised local forces?

Dude, you are a Muslim.

Compromised like how? To me there's nothing like compromise... The local forces aren't working hard as expected that's why it looks like they are compromised...

Where is your Abba kyari? How on earth did they want a Normal civilian with little or no knowledge about intelligence gathering to unmask her? Where is the police intelligence unit. Where is our Dss?

America? Na America born us? or are they the one that colonize Nigeria? Even if they send troops down here are they going to make it 1 soldier per xtain. We should stop deceiving ourselves. This is internal crisis and can only be won by the local forces...

As this game dey go e go Reach 10-0 o. Which kind game be this sef. Well in this group we go knw who be who When Belgium and England clash... Though they are both proceeding even if one of them lost...

Iranu Why is there no sense of morality these days? Some people are even celebrating olosho Definitely the moral standards of the world is dropping.....

Disgusting..

Try and see things from another perspective. Leaving the environment dirty or using this bus for waste disposal which one is better?

Ruddyman:
We have every reason to bother about this.. a responsible government/government agency shouldn't be reduce to it...

That's called class . Others are using large vehicles or trailers for waste disposal buh Na bus dm dey use. Beside we shouldn't bother much, they are using the state environmental protection agency bus. They are doing their job and even if they use SUV , the main thing and concern here is to keep the environment clean..
