What are all our leaders from southern Nigeria doing about the constant killing of their brethren in the North ?

All the Senators, House of Rep members, governors etc from the south, why can't they speak with one
voice and say enough is enough ? That the culprits must be held accountable for once ?

If one of Iyabo Obasanjo or governor liyel imoke's relative was killed in Jos, do you think they would
just lay idle and not demand for justice

Who said they are not saying something against it?. Its up to the northern laders to speak out first because we are the bereaved party.

[b]So are you people in agreement with PDP rigging the elections in Jos North. [/b]This is the root of the problem, if you like or not. The fact that it permutated to something else is another issue that we can leave to the likes of Redhot, David to explain,

Electionss has been rigged everywhere in Nigeria. Jos is one of the paramount cities in Nigeria where peace and love reign but that kind of thing does not go down well with almajiris. say the truth, are you still happy with our union with hausa? Don't you want out? What do you need them for?

I wish you could say the same thing to Awolowo who snuggled up with Tafawa Balewa and showed Biafra pepper.

This is news to me.

No be one Nigeria una want
una no want again?

I no want AGAIN. I am quite sure thousands of Nigerians are tired of this marriage with the north. Any naysayer is either living outside the country or an hausa. The middle beltans got dumped by these hausas after they helped them fight the war. They are just like a social virus that does not discriminate on whom they will attack. Dont give me that muslim nonsense because i think they are natural terrorists.

Red hot is just upset. Holding reprisal thoughts for Biafra War is hazardous.
Get over it you lost the war.
(You forget that Nigeria at the time consisted of more than just Hausa and Igbo. There were many men in the army who were not even from Northern Nigeria)

No illegal mutiny for you EVER. You will die a NIGERIAN even if you deny it in Jesus in name. Get over it!

You are right I 'm upset because youths like me that have dreams in life were smothered in broad daylight over nonsense. The truth is that it will repeat itself again may be b/c one southerner or christian farted near a mosque and 1000 bodies will follow.

Since you are an ardent hausa supporter and their ways, why are you complaining on their recent actions in your village?. What if the guy that died in your village[I hope its only one] is related to you? will you still be playing around here?

Tpia

It is easy to seat in New zealand and type junk on a public fora. If u were currently in Jos, U would prolly be singing a different song.

haven't you noticed that she is retarded and frustrated? You wonder why I don't reply her?. Go and check how many times in this thread alone she has been looking for my attention but I still ignore her. Only a fool gives respite to some group of people that are massacre happy.

O! my beloved North. . .

You are rejoicing because people lost their loved ones?. Pray tell it wont happen to you or your relation tho.

It's not a matter of how but when will the next northern killings start.
That was a thread that told us the almajiris of northern Nigeria are sniffing gutters to get high.
[b]Until those useless parents who send their unwanted kids to a mallam to turn them into jihadists are arrested and dealt with and the mallams that teach them this muslim extremist views are locked up for life,these things would continue.[/b]Almajirism should be outlawed.That's a good place to start.

How many will you arrest? we are talking of a generation of hoodlums roaming the streets of Nigeria with daggers in their pockets. The problem is bigger than you think.

May I correct you here? the Indigenous were not selling their Lands for the sake of Money, they just happened to be very welcoming and accomondating, they did not give so much of a heck about life, its way Plateau is called the Home of Peace and tourism We welcome everyoen that comes to our house, the Ealier mallams that came were actually given lands for free by our forefathers We are not large in number we agree and we felt they were good people they did not force themselves on us in the first place so we took them as friends not enemies and from their they started bringing in their friends and Family members and before you know whats up they were begining to pay for this lands and ofcourse there were alot of greedy men among our people that valued Money more than the lands because they had so much and the truth is we still have lots of lands till date, its just that the choicest Lands are beign sold to the mallams because we considered them friends

Its easier to say they conned you guys like they did to every Nigerian. I am glad Nigerians are realizing now that Hausas can never be your friend. Your people made that mistake in Biafran war and the very people they accepted are over riding them now. Its a little too late to ask for your lands back, they planned and orchestrated the plot and it worked for them. The only way out is education since your people are obviously better educated than them. Get more youths into school and empower them to stay on guard against those enemies.

yea we have Burukutu Drinkers among us but its not all that are Burukutu drinkers, and one other shortcoming we have among my people is the fact that they don't go to school and thats another thing killing us.

Una people sabi drink well well. The highest drinkers in Nigeria so far.

O RHC I think u'r wright
every body is going mad today.
could it bad eggs?
or the water?

A nairalander, David Dylan lost a friend in the mayhem.

David

don't get touchy. Admitted everyone is pissed, but this is just not a forum for discussing issues, it is also an avenie for unwinding.

There is time for everything.

I don't understand why some like to turn serious threads into a teenage fan club all the time.

There's the forum games section for such nonsense.

You are so right.

u pearl, or so called, don't try to make fun of the issu here. Be serious

aboki, you again?

Their have never been political riots in the south? During Elections people die all over Nigeria! The fact that it ends quick is that people do not permutate it into ethnic riots.
Was this an ethnic riot in the first instant no, did it become one yes

Tell me where in the south people died in thousands like this over politics?. Even when Abacha was clearly exterminating the high powered yorubas, nothing like this happened to northerners in the west. Go and cover your face in the dust.

Can all see what we talking about? that the Muslims are more in Jos? how come? with the indegines, and the Southerners still the Hausas are more? haba Kai dan Baba Yakata Kana sanin me zaka fada. theres no way the Hausa can be predominant in Jos, its not Possible have you been to a Christian Gathering before? its just that they have a penchant for trouble and they want everything by force God will not allow it anyway.

Let me break it down for you playa:

The muslim hausas were migrating to Jos in numbers while the Jos indigenes were busy selling their lands to them and drinking burukutu with the money. What happened next was the hausas getting a fair share of their properties, creating a neighborhood and replicating their population. That is how they created a muslim colony out of the christian city. In the near future, they will over run the native burukutu drinkers and take over the city.

If the natives were more responsible, Hausa wouldn't have over run their city.

How could you, in the name of Lord, speak of licking asses throught such a tremendously serious issu like xenophoia?
grow up guys.

Lol, everybody is just mad today.

Someone from my tribe died you idiot. Most of the casualties were indigines of Plateau. They were killing all other tribes indiscriminately.
don't spread hate false propaganda, its really irritating

Who gives a shit how many people that died in your village?. Why the yoruba carnage? Are the yorubas involved in your local politics?

Is the man that did this below also from your village because he deserves to die slowly:

"A few minutes later, after I had regained my composure, I picked my phone to call my younger brother. But it was a Hausa man that replied me. And he said in Hausa tone and seemed to be mocking at the same time: ‘Ya broad, I'm dey die, I'm det die…hHa ha, now, I'm don die’. And at that point, the phone went dead. And that was when I blacked out too," Kayode said.

i wish you can confess u have a crush on this boy.

90% of your comments are on hannibal.

u no dey tire?

Am i mad?. How could you even think that I will stoop so low to kiss Hannibal?. Tufiakwa.

Redhot,

Igbos of my generation just started reacting to Hausa madness now. I say if ONE NIGERIA means butchering Igbos in the North for some bullcrap then let my people butcher them too in the East, West, and North whenever they rear up their ugly heads and no one should mention Biafra. We all ONE NIGERIANS. Butchering ur fellow citizen is the Nigerian way and patriotic Nigerians should reply the patriotic Hausas whenever they talk. No need to treat them with kid gloves.

Its like Yorubas are worse hit in this latest cabal. So, you are not alone.

Rubypearl

Let's leave licking ass alone. This is a serious issue that should be dealt with decisively.

I agree with you this time.

nyamari kai nang, The crisis in Jos plateau has nothing to do with ethnicity and is based on politics, yet we get idiots starting posts like this.
Continue spreading that which is untrue.

Are the plenty Yorubas slaughtered in the riot involved in your local politics?. Why not slaughter each other like goats instead of innocent bystanders?

Death Toll in Jos Riot Rises to 350
•Armed men arrested
From Chuks Okocha in Abuja, Ruben Buhari in Kaduna and Seriki Adinoyi in Jos, 11.30.2008

The Plateau State Gover-nment has ordered security operatives comprising men of the Nigerian Army, Air Force, and Mobile Police to ‘shoot on sight’ anybody fomenting crisis or defying the curfew order imposed on the state capital, Jos. The order was the government’s latest response to end the riot in Jos, which death toll, as at yesterday evening, had risen to 350.
Giving the order yesterday morning following fresh killings that started at the Tinna Junction and Mando areas of the city, the state Governor, Da Jonah Jang, said the state government would not sit back and watch thugs wreck more havoc on innocent citizens.
THISDAY also gathered that security operatives yesterday intercepted about 500 men armed with weapons on their way to Jos. THISDAY could not however independently verify the figure.
The arrest was a sign that the warring groups are regrouping.
Jang also said his action was informed by his on-the-spot assessment of the situation, particularly in the affected areas.
He lamented that having gone round the city to ascertain the extent of damage, the loss of lives and property and the gory sights of destruction that trailed the city, he had no alternative than to give the order. The Governor however, appealed for calm saying “government is on top of the situation”.
Addressing journalists at the Press Centre in Jos, officials of the Nigerian Red Cross Society said the society had deposited 150 corpses of victims of the riot at the Central Mosque.
However, unconfirmed reports say the death toll had risen beyond the figure given by the Society.
Agence France Press (AFP) reports that 381 bodies were yesterday placed in a mosque in Jos.
The Associated Press (AP) also reported that bodies with fresh wounds arrived at the city's main mosque for quick burial in keeping with Islamic precepts.
Many christians have also lost their lives as what started as post-election violence takes a religious colouration.
Citizens who had fled their homes are taking refuge in National Drug Law Enforc-ement Agency (NDLEA) command, Recos, NDLEA Regional Academy Central Mosque, Macalashi Jumat, ECWA Church, Apata, University of Jos Senior Staff Quarters, and Rukuba Army Barracks.
The Director of Press to the Governor, James Mannok said over 500 rioters have been arrested with weapons and stolen items. He said they are being quizzed by the Police. He said more security personnel have been deployed from neighbouring states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to bring the situation under control.
THISDAY also gathered after going round the city yesterday that the level of damage to lives and properties is enormous. Thousands of new cars at various car-stands, and many houses along Zaria road were razed. Churches and Mosques were also torched in Chobe Junction. Also, corpses were being evacuated from the streets by members of the Red-cross, and the Police. A few corpses still litter the streets in Katako area of the city.
Residents living in hot spots like Bauchi road, Ali Kazaure, Recos, Angwa rogo and Gengere were ordered by the state government to remain indoors 24 hrs, while those in other parts of Jos and Bukuru are to comply with the dusk to dawn curfew.
The fresh outbreak of crisis followed the declaration of election results which gave victory to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the entire 17 local government areas.
Reacting to the crisis, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in a press briefing denied the report that it was its group that started the attack.
The state’s CAN chairman, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama said “We were taken aback by the turn of events in Jos. We thought it was political, but from all indications it is not so. We were surprised at the way some of our churches and property were attacked and some of our faithful and Clergy killed. The attacks were carefully planned and executed. The questions that bog our minds are why were churches and Clergy attacked and killed? Why were politicians and political party offices not attacked if it were a political conflict? Why were the business premises and property of innocent civilians destroyed? We strongly feel that it was not political, but pre-meditated act under the guise of elections”.
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) als appealled for restraint to all inohabitants of Jos, the Plateau state capital, over the recent crisis that engulfed parts of the city.
Making the appeal in Kaduna, CAN’s National General Secretary, Engr. Samuel Salifu who spoke to reporters said the association is deeply worried over the local government crisis which he said has been turned into a religious crisis by certain groups and individuals.
Salifu said: “CAN is sick and tired of these type of repetitive crises that keep happening in Jos, Bauchi, Kano, Maiduguri, Zangon Kataf, Kaduna and host of other places in Nigeria with attendant loss of lives and properties. We are calling on all the people of the state to be calm and also calling on the state government to promptly put a stop to the killings and burning and find a way of addressing future issues before they degenerate into killings.”
He also accused government and politicians of always being responsible for most crises in the country by saying that when certain state governments and politicians fail to have their way or want to get cheap popularity, they resort to playing the religious card which most often results into crises.
Also reacting to the fresh crises, some citizens blamed the government, and Plateau Independent Electoral Commi-ssion (PLASIEC) for announcing the results of the election at the height of the crisis. They noted that the commission should have allowed the situation to calm down a little.
Also, a non-governmental organisation, Human Right Writers Association (HURIWA), yesterday blamed the Jos riots, on the failure of security intelligence by all relevant security agencies in the country. The group also canvassed that severe punitive measures be meted out to the masterminds of the violence to serve as effective deterrence while the police commissioner in state and the state Director of the State Security Service (SSS) be sacked for alleged dereliction of duties.
In its own reaction to the crisis, the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) faction led by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has called for the declaration of emergency rule in the state over the raging crisis, while also blaming the incident on Jang who it said was desperate to win the Jos North Local Government election at all cost.
Also, the Action Congress (AC) has called for the cancellation of the Plateau council polls, since the perceived rigging of the elections is the main cause of the violence that has now left over 300 people dead and hundreds wounded or displaced in the Jos North local government area.In an interview with THISDAY in Abuja, the Secretary of ANPP Presidential Council, Engr. Buba Galadima called for the declaration of emergency rule in the state over the continued killing and maiming of people by thugs perceived to be armed by the state government.
According to Buba Galadima, "we feel bad that election ANPP won has been denied it again., It was denied because the national secretariat of the party has been compromised and its members are therefore left without any sense of direction.
"In view of the continued killing, we call on the federal government to declare a state of emmegency in the state before it is too late. Military men should be drafted to the state to dislodge those in uniform allegedly armed by the state government. We equally call for the cancellation of the result of the council election since cancel election was the main issue."
Buba Galadima said that information received by the Buhari Organisation shows that the biggest Motor Company in Jos, named Femma Motors was burned down with over 100 vehicles parked at the garage. Also the auto shop of Ibrahim Saleh Hassan, son of Alhaji Saleh Hassan, former national chairman of the Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN) was burned down.
The Buhari group also called on government to set up an indepedent Judiciary Enquiry Panel to investigate the cause of the crisis.
Also in a statement issued in Abuja Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, the Action Congress (AC) Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party also condemned the government’s gross insensitivity in going ahead to release the results of the elections, especially that of the Jos North that precipitated the crisis, even as the smoke was yet to clear from the ruins of the violence.

Imagine the death toll is more than India.

RHC,

what did you feed yemmyse? He's been licking your ass since yest.

He is Hot

U can shut the mess up too. Nonsense. Enough of the yeye window dressing yes I said what I said and I stand by it. I just learned from a Yoruba chap that he already lost two in-laws and u are here worrying ur silly self about me. Why don't u go and preach that love to ur Fulani/Hausa mates and hope u survive with all ur limbs intact.

My brother, I feel you. I think its time to look for a solution instead of bickering. last time igbos retaliated in Asaba and Aba, it wasn't pretty and I thought it will dissuade Northerners from repeating this act but how wrong was i.

yemmyse:
RHC

As much as i respect ur opinion, I don't think additional tax is the solution to this problem.

I think deislamazation through education and other enlightenment programmes mith just work. I really think this whole thing is an islamic thing.

My brother its not an islamic thing oo. If it was, why are the yoruba muslims not that way?

Why didn't he get a death sentence for killing these beautiful kids?

David said it best

David is confused.

Back to the discussion. How do we really stop this annual massacre up North?

Simple: Reorganize the tax system and tax citizens according to their income. When i said it before, those that like to twist my words claimed that i am advocating taxation by tribes but that wasn't what i meant. If you have a relation or what not that works in a bank in Nigeria, she will tell you that most igbo traders are very rich but they under pay local taxes. that is how the igbo thing came about. How can you tax a banker that earns about 200K a month higher than an igbo trader that makes above 500k a month from profits?. Other non igbos that make same amount should be taxed as well and the traders that make less should be taxed less. the money realized from this local taxes should be used to rehabilitate these almajiris by providing a vocational training for them so their number can be reduced largely, besides, if you keep them busy, looting and killing people will be the last thing on their mind.

ibkaye:
See who is talking about farting, what goes around comes around, I'm sure you released the first fart, be truthul jor! The were only retaliating!

My farts are organic and non toxic like theirs. It's only those southerners that have not lost anybody in one of their toxic farts that still think we should give them the benefit of doubt.

like genocidal maniacs

I thought you were confused and at loss of what is happening in the north currently?

mmm, just to let you know, Karma is not a northerner. So quit hating on her.

God knows she'll be the last person i'll hate here. we may have our disagreements but it hasn't gone to that extent.

Esp. bawolomo

do you have a hidden crush on Bawomolo?. i can make it happen, you know.

DavidDylan:
Unfortunately, RedHotchic's quote happened to be from a family friend i've known for donkey years.

Just confirmed the news from my brother today.

Thank you mallam for helping me make up my mind . . . no way will i return to be ruled by 12th century animals.

Redhot, do you know which newspaper that was in? thanks.

I am so sorry to hear that. Take heart and it shall be well. follow the link below and read the full script
