The acting President should as a matter of urgency declare state of emergency in Plateau State by invoking section 305 of the 1999 constitution. The state government is grossly incapable, ineffecient and cannot handle the situation.
Before there is a repraisal attack that will kill more people, the Federal government should take steps to prevent further occurrence.

absolute nonsense

When will the Hausa Fulani states repeal illegal practice of state religion which runs directly against the 1999 constitution.

Let the violence continue and let the wickedness and terrorist tendencies of the Hausa Fulani continue to be exposed.

The exposure should be by killing nearly 1000 people in less than 2 months. You need not shed blood to expose evil doers. The government should be held responsible. The state government has failed.

a declaration of a state of Emergency is not likely

You were right, no curfew imposed yet, that was for the previous incident.

But up to 500 dead so far, topic title changed to reflect this.

Abeg do not reply me with big big grammar, lol.

The primary responsibilty of government is to protect lives and properties.
When a government fail to do so, then there is need for state of emergency.
The constitution empowered Jonathan to do so as he can exercise powers of the Executive President
Let him do what is right at least for once.

Over nigeria

I support state of emergency in plateue state.

What if instigating a scenario where State of Emergency is necesasary was the actual objective of the terrorists of who mastermind these troubles?

Then by calling for SOE you are simply playing into the hands of the terrorist elements.

impeach jonah jang

I think SOE in plateau is the first line of the second stanza of the Fulani song for now. That will not work.  OBJ blindly did that, but we now know better . Let the Middle-belters match these foolish fulanis force for force abeg. Infact let them take the battle to core fulani states ASAP.

If dem wan scatter everything make e scatter now now. wetin wan happen tomorrow make e start today.    

SOE is removing Jonah Jang through the back door and thats what the Fulanis in Plateau always wanted.

If Jonah Jang is such a bad leader the people of Jos will oust him through the State Assembly.

I think this problem needs an honest solution like respecting the rights of all nigerians wherever they are, whether they are in Jos or in Kano.

impeach jonah jang

Yeah sure
How about the Hausa/Fulani riots in Bauchi, Kano, Kaduna, etc?
What has Jang got to do with those

State of What ? Fa fa fa fa fowl ! ! After the jos people have retaliated to the acceptable multiple which will be in the next few days, may be then we can discourse state of emergency.

I think the federal government should carry out a vote in form of a referendum in all states of the federation and let the indigenes decide which settlers they don't want in their state. So those settlers could simply just move back to their state.

@poster- i've been following your responses on this Jos issue and i can safely infer that you're one of those actively supportive of the handiwork of your jihadists. Whatever does declaring a state of emergency have to do with the killings being sponsored by your ilk if not to oust the present administration? Every day for the killer, one day your cup will be full.

plateau indegines living in other states is more than those of other states living in plateau, so if you want everyone back to his state then why not.

The FG definitely needs to step in. They could start by detaining the group leaders and forcing them to dialogue.

no need for dialogue at this point. I dont think it'll work.

The Brits would have shipped most of the thick headed Nigerians ones out to exile by now, back in the day.

Why Plateau alone? Nigeria as a whole should be declared an emergency state. Where is our President? Who has seen or heard from him for the past 110 days? Only Turai and her cult members own President Yar'adua. Na wa. Shame on Nigeria.
