I'm struggling to hold back d tears coming from my eyes.

Ibukun was a gentle, easy going fellow. He was my mate in FGC Ijanikin. I still picture him in his Jaja house wear and the way we run things together. We werein the same class, ate together, read together and slept on the same bed sometimes. Is this how life is? A few weeks ago he was telling me about preparing to go to UK for his masters.

Ibukun is no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its painful, A young promising fella, great sense of humour he has.

May Allah console his parents. Its sad.

I read the account of the killing of the corpers and wanted to cry. Imagine having people murdered in your presence. The shock alone would render me insane. Hundreds of deaths. The same senseless horror echoing in hundreds of families. They'll try to make sense of the deaths of their loved ones, and won't be able to.

Nigeria isn't one. It's never been one. I wonder why we keep thinking a split is an evil thing. I wonder why hausas work and live comfortably in other regions, they feel safe, and yet other tribes and religions are disposable aliens in their territory. One Nigeria is a myth. If you can't co-exist peacefully,then co-exist separately. I wonder if the tutsis,given a choice between their own state and having a million of them senselessly butchered,wouldn't have chosen being apart,and a million stronger.

How many people have died in Nigeria from the sort of unspeakeably evil disposition that sees no harm in butchering another human being for religious reasons? How many thousands and thousands? And we've come to accept this state of things,we feel a distant sort of sympathy and anger,but it's not our lives that were so cruelly and meaninglessly snatched away. If it were,perhaps the one Nigeria at all costs people would have a rethink from the other side.

Let the hausa people go.Let them leave the rest of us alone. And they'll need a frigging visa before they can cross over from their terrain. Unfortunately, if we split,it won't be clean,but very very messy, and at least 5 countries would emerge,with others clamouring for their own nation. If separation is what will give the rest of us peace,so frigging be it,yes please and thank you. There is no tribe as barbaric and monstrous as these hausa savages.

They do these things and they get away with it. There are no repercussions, no meaningful investigations, no one brought to book. Where the hell is the deterrent to stop these psychopaths in their blood-loving tracks? Execute a hundred of the guilty bastards for murder, and do so every time they attack, and mayhaps they'll think twice before cutting off heads in the name of their bleeding Allah.

@ David,
Now i kno beta.

Very queer though. Bt I am nt surprised.

U obviously lack constructive argumentative skills.
U ar undoubtedly sarcastic for no just cause.

U kno wat, all ur assumptions abt me ar correct. So u nd nt sweat.

santavista:

Friend, u are definitely versed like a pig livng in a hideous swine.
Ur response and conduct to this heinous crime is shameful, reprehensible and ignoble.
Ur mind is segmented typical of a despicable, unchangeable, rigid and myopic deluded hoodwink slowpoke.
Have you ever thought of the possibility of a one nigeria?
What do these peeps want from these harmless corp members?
You obviously do not know what it means to serve one's fatherland.
To answer your question, they were in Jos to serve their mandatory 1 yr service to the nation.
Possibly as teachers to educate your brothers and sisters an easy task that your team fynds hard to undertake.
The emphasis on their tribe is because they are serving outsyde their immediate environment.
Thus it is a shame that your cohorts could carry out such a grievous and severe crime.
Grow up boi. I wonder how some people will visit NLand and will still remain so ignorant, unintelligent, mundane, unpolished and excellently useless with mouths dripping wet with filth.
If you are from the north, you should bury yourself in shame except you are illiterate and uneducated then you can be exempted and pardoned.
I served in the north and i commend the civilised manner and ways of the educated elite amongst them.
Take a queue from MC Usman, Mai Suya and other northerners on this forum who though ever ready to defend their ethnicity and tribe do that with an applaudable mien to their characters and person. I disagree with them most times but I still respect them.
It aint about Yorubas, Hausas or Igbo. But Nigerians. Brothers killing brothers. We are one.
Let these above reprisal to your post serve as a foundation to purge your insensitivity and herald a new beginning to your innate assembly and create a new intellectual vault base which you will fynd useful in the new year ahead .

It's lazy one like you and your people who depends on reaping from where they did not sow that will be shouting one fake nigeria. Who is thinking about the possibility of one nigeria with you demented fools? Why can't you think about living off alone and surviving on your own without the Igbos to cling unto for your daily survival? Must you live together with the Igbos in the same country? You lazy bigot.

It's only your brainless head that will not understand why i asked the question about what your coppers were doing in northern nigeria. When you Yoruba brothers and sisters where asking what Igbos were doing in northern nigeria when they were being killed by the blood thirsty mallams, i didn't see any Igbo wasting his time going to length to explain to you what Igbos were doing in northern nigeria.

Ewu awusa, since you want to tell us what coppers were meant to be doing in a particular place. Mr know it all fool. Ewu awusa, none of you Yorubas will ever see the blood letting awusas as they are because you are their maid servants and partners in crime. You are only complaining a little now because three of you are downed by their swords. Awusa elite and civilization? Slave praising master by all means. Umu ewu them. Una never see anything sef.

What you are feeling now is what several millions of Igbo families have been feeling over the past years, yet none of you nigerians ever cared to understand, rather some of you were asking why and what we are doing in awusa land, our supposed ONE nigeria. I guess i should be asking you what your Ibukun was doing in awusa land depite knowing exactly what took him there. Well, sorry for your loss and sorry for the pinch you are now feeling. I wouldn't say good morning to you because this is a serious matter. If ever you people should learn and stop supporting the awusas against the Igbos.

I said it and i say it again - would YOU idiot be singing about education if you had to endure hearing your brother struggle for his life?

I might lack argumentative skills, but one thing you lack is a glaring ability to reason at all beyond merely rehashing false and discredited talking points.

Education? Since when? Zango Kattaf riots?
Tolerance? since when? 1966? . . . we'd be preaching tolerance until 2050?

O boy go and sit down somewhere. Do you know any better than Awolowo who said Nigeria was a geographical contraption?

Having to deal with insensitive empty heads is such a bore.

Follow me home so i can go tell Ibukun's dad and brother that we shld head to Jos and go preach tolerance to his killers. Coconut head.

SHUT UP!

Everything is NOT about the Igbos alone, get that into your retarded little brain. We've heard the nonsense you had to say. Take up your grievances  with anyone who insulted the Igbo for being in the North.

An idiot like you would make it sound as if only Igbos ever get killed in the North, or as if this is the first time any Yorubas would feel the pinch or would criticize obvious evils going on in the North. Your blatant stupidity prevents you from reasoning in any other way than the asinine one you currently apply.

Good morning my foot - arrogant, supercillious slowpoke.

RIP my brothers. My condolence goes to their families.

I served in Jos, years back.
I remember vividly my stay.
I served at the outskirt of Bukuru, Police Staff College to be exact.
A beautiful city, with the greatest weather in Nigeria.
I did all i could to get a job in that town.
I loved that town, with a passion that seems to surprise even myself.
I write with a burden on my heart that could send a trailer across the edge.
I write with a lot of bitterness that could make a snake venom taste like blood tonic.
I write with tears cascading my cheeks like the numerous water falls that line the plateau landscape.

Those that partook in this heinous crime have totally missed the vehicle to normalcy.
They shall never see or enjoy peace all their lifetime.

May the soul of those that died rest in eternal peace.
Jos does not deserve this.

Orobo, are you feeling it? Once again, good morning. Idiot. Tomorrow, you and your people will still support the same murderers against Igbos.

Ewu Yoruba bigot, i didn't see you attack your ekiti wife RedHotChic when she was busy asking what Igbos were doing in northern nigeria while being killed and suggesting that Igbos should pay higher tax than others to avoid being killed in the north. Ethnic bigot, you are quick to respond to me because you already deciphered that i am not a bigoted Yoruba like you. Ewu awusa slave.

walahi u r a fool. whether it was in ibo or yoruba or hausa man that was killed, the fact is that they were nigerians. why d heck do u want to view this issue with a tribal lens? why do u want to behavelike ur forefathers, always viewing everything with tribe and exposing their inferiority complex. once again u r a fool

Black people will remain a the bottom of the totem pole unless they start to work together.
The radical muslims are only responding the way they know best and that is with violence.
Have they been wronged? Yes, are their actions justified HELL NO

The fact of the matter is the whole of West Africa is in disarray, their is no way 30 million people are responsible for Nigeria's downfall. We are all responsible for its downfall.
Igbo's like david and quota need to stop Harboring Biafran thoughts because it is a pipe dream.

We need educate our Islamic brothers/sisters with mandatory school and for God's sake Sharia Law can not exist in a non-Muslim nation it does not make sense. Segregation will be our denigration
Religion/Enthnic need to be stripped away from Government/State.
How can we have priests and emirs that wield more power than the government?

Educating the masses would definitely be the stepping stone for the solution.
Their are some Hausa elites who perpetrate these actions for their own selfish gain and control of the people.
But their motives are different. Guaranteed if the masses were educated this would change.
Did you know that the Bible is a greater educational tool than the Koran. but that even the Bible can be interpreted to spread that which is not good. If the devil knows the Bible guaranteed he surely knows the Koran. All interpretation.

I can't seem to understand the reason for all this exchange of words when we should be in a mournful mood.
You guys don't fail to amaze on NL. You all tend to leave the basic for rubbish diatribes. I weep for you guys, really.

@ josboy

Education indeed - what about the students in 'school' that murdered a teacher for 'abusing' the Quran? If that happens in a school, there is nothing more you can tell me.

Some of these people will turn against somebody they used to eat with all because of tribe/religion in the twinkling of an eye - education or no education.

Some people understand only VIOLENCE.  

@ meex

mournful mood? how many times? for how long? keep mourning and it keeps going on

Jos abeg just stop this nonsense.

Have they been wronged? Yes, are their actions justified HELL NO

Wronged by who? Did you wrong them? I know for certain that 98% of those muslims have killed did not wrong them . . . are muslims the only people on earth to be wronged?
What of the Kurds, jews, armenians, Germans, Native americans . . . when are they going to "respond"?

are you doing this? They died in the mayham. . . like some Igbos, some Hausas, some Efik, some Tivis, some Young, some old. A lot of PEOPLE DIED in this horrible and unfortunate incident, so why single out the Yorubas from the others? Are some people's lives more important than others? We are condemning a certain group for being myopic, seeing only their own as important while doing the exact same thing

I[b] agree with you his too sentimental all tribes were involed in the mayhem madness and chaotic event

JosBoy4Lif:

Even tho I admit that this might not be the panacea to our problems , I still cant but be amazed at how tenaciously U guys hang onto Nigeria. U guys have made it very clear in actions and in words that there is no zero tolerance for people of other ethnic groups vis a viz other religious leanings. So why is the break up of Nigeria such a bad idea.

JosBoy4Lif:


We need educate our Islamic brothers/sisters with mandatory school and for God's sake Sharia Law can not exist in a non-Muslim nation it does not make sense. Segregation will be our denigration

How long do we need to educate them What is far more educating than corpses and burning houses and property. It is not like this is the first time this is happening and I bet my black ass this wont be the last time. And next time again it happens, U guys would play the education card again.

I posted before that one reason that religious sentiments and bigotry is so easy to stir up in the North is the high incidence of the almajiris.  Now instead of a poster by the name Muza to either refute my claims or even point out more pertinent ways to go about this matter, he just called me a fool and walked away   I assume he is one of  the educated lot.  

I was in the middle of the Kano riots (heck, nearly lost my life on more than one occasion before my family decided to relocate) and each time the cannon fodder for the riots had been almajiris. And I dont believe that has changed
