It is the scheming leaders that are clashing the common people's heads,The more stupid and troubled the masses are,the more the ruling elite get away with the iniquities they commit every second. I wish the ordinary man can see that the power to make a change is in his hand but he is too hungry and broken to see beyond the present. POWER lies in the hands of the people,period. |

And ladies and gentlemen that is how civil wars are born. People now start forming militias to protect their people and soon those militias become armies and rebel and before you know it the Red cross is setting up camps for civilians. Brace Up. |

edoyad: The Nigerian military is strong enough to withstand rebel movements. They will simply kill all the rebels, their wives, children, and goats. |

Reporter: More than 200 dead in Nigeria violence By AHMED SAKA and JON GAMBRELL (AP) – 12 minutes ago JOS, Nigeria — More than 200 bodies — many of them women and children — lay in the streets of a central Nigerian town after a renewed spate of Christian-Muslim violence, witnesses said Sunday, just months after religious violence tore through a nearby city and left hundreds dead. Yemi Kosoko, a reporter with the independent Nigerian news network Channels, told The Associated Press most of the bodies appeared to be women and children killed by blows from machetes. Kosoko said the dead lined the streets of Dogo Nahawa, a village about three miles (five kilometers) south of the city of Jos. Kosoko said he made the count Sunday afternoon with an official from the state government. Military units began surrounding the affected villages around the same time, said Red Cross spokesman Robin Waubo. Waubo said the agency did not know how many people may have died in the the fighting, though officials have been sent to local morgues and hospitals. Witnesses said the violence began in the mostly Christian village at about 3 a.m. Sunday — an hour when the area should have been under curfew and guarded by the military. Jos has remained under a curfew since violence in January left more than 300 people dead — the majority of them Muslims. Police and military officials declined to comment on the attack or the motivation for the violence. "It appears to be reprisal attacks," Waubo said. In nearby Bauchi state, more than 600 people fled to a makeshift camp still holding victims of January's violence, said Red Cross official Adamu Abubakar. "They started running away from the fighting," Abubakar said by phone. He said more continued to come. Sectarian violence in this region of Nigeria has left thousands dead over the past decade. The latest outbreak came despite the Nigerian government's efforts to quell religious extremism in the West African country. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iNCU46VYMVf0VzhqkKJUus45PrDAD9E9SEKO0 |

The federal and Plateau state govt should be held responsible for lost innocent lives. If pepertrators of previous crisis were brought to justice, this ll not repeat itself. My sympathy goes to those who lost innocent soul to this senseless crisis. |

The chief of Army staff was busy deploying troops to guard Yaradua's corpse when their number was needed elsewhere. Anyways this thing had already been fortold by the US so this should come as no surprise to anyone, Nigeria the country is ending. Do we have a Cin C at the moment, I think the President of the Senate should just Impeach Yaradua and Jonathan and call for an election within 3 months. It is clear the Miliatary, Ministers, Governors even the servants at Aso rock dont respect Mr Acting President. |

[b]"The shooting was just meant to bring people from their houses and then when people came out they started cutting them with machetes," [/b]he said, women crying behind him. Thank God this time they are butchering themselves. I have said it many times that the selfish beings, Britain will never know peace for putting me together under one cage with barbaric human as this. People who can jst wake up one morning and start butchering their fellow humans as if they are fowls. |

MrCrackles: Glad to be of service. chic2pimp: I am not the type to pick on people's grammar to be honest - I make mistakes too. But when someone tries to be "different" in a stupid way, I am more than happy to call them on it. Personally, I think since he is a mod, he sees the need to be seen as intelligent perhaps? If only he knows that more than half of us, laugh at him. kosovo: Nobody likes a faker. |

Disappearance of Zubair Ali Gafai, Yar’Adua’s cousin, raises opposition fears Written by Saharareporters, New York Thursday, 04 March 2010 14:04 The interview reeked of a PR job organized by members of the kitchen cabinet, as part of their attempts to hoodwink Nigerians using a foreign television stations with immense popularity, such as Al Jazeera. Saharareporters had reported a few days ago that Yar'Adua's wife was planning the kind interview Yar’Adua gave to the BBC in January, with the objective of painting a rosy picture of his recovery. It is apparent that the Al Jazeera broadcast using Gafai was the clincher. Since granting the interview, however, Mr. Gafai has disappeared, reportedly into neighboring Niger Republic, and his disappearance has raised fears that he may be organizing Niger-based mercenaries to attack or kill opposition politicians who endorsed the removed of Yar'Adua from office. Late last year, through his Katsina Peoples Congress, Gafai, a former state legislator, stormed the palace of the Emir of Katsina to urge him to discipline former House of Representatives Speaker, Masari, for “unguarded utterances” or strip him of the traditional title of “Dallatun Katsina” and membership of the Emirate Council. Masari's offence was that he had endorsed the public petition of "Group 53" which had asked Yar'Adua to resign from office in December 2009. ---------------------------------------------- |

Let's not jump to conclusions yet. We don't know who the agressors are or what started this. It may not even be caused by religion but ethnic issues. You are being delusional if you thought that it was not about religion. Why cant Pleatue State be annexed if it 'hosts' killing festival every month? |
Re: Plateau Massacre : Police arrest 377 suspects, prosecute 162 by Fogman(m): 6:05pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
Just announced in Rhythm FM that over 500 people feared dead so far! Attacked was masterminded by Fulani herdsmen. What a waste! |
Re: Plateau Massacre : Police arrest 377 suspects, prosecute 162 by Beaf: 6:08pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
adconline: No point dodging issues. When you do that, they have a way of turning around to bite you. Identify the problem without fear or favour and deal with it sensitively and diplomaticaly. |
Re: Plateau Massacre : Police arrest 377 suspects, prosecute 162 by Nobody: 6:09pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
Fogman: I guess the useless so called army we have are aware of the threat of these babarians but turned a blind eye to this massacre. Jonathan Goodluck is impotent as a leader, we need a man of iron in charge. I detest Abacha but he was the kind of leader that would have ruthlessly crushed this uprising by now. Its more than sad, Nigeria is gradually sliding into anarchy. |
Re: Plateau Massacre : Police arrest 377 suspects, prosecute 162 by Beaf: 6:12pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
frosbel: Crushed the uprising? That is simplistic reasoning. What about its source? |

anyway . . . . One Nigeria is simple and the problems are simple its the leaders who are making it complicated. If a northern president had control of the notherners and their respect there would be no religous riots. Northern leaders say little to nothing in times like this aside from Buhari. |
