d crisis was truely averted only dat my friend's broda was cut opened in d stomach nd his car was burnt around febuna hotel. I'm disapointed with some ummas who claim to celebrate sallah by a way of violence.
Hello nigerians,hop you enjoy a nice sallah break,my the amighty Allah answer your prayers,Amin.i want comment on the endless Jos crise,my fellow so-called plateu/Jos indegienes,it's time for you to wake up from your deadly dreaming of chasing Hausa fulani from their father's land.Remember your people are there residing and rumming about peacefully in the tail end muslim northen states of Nigeria,and It is not easy for you to create the so-called unique plateu,we must live together as muslims and non muslims in Jos,you remain Jobless,unemployed,poor and hopless,your youth and men has nothing to do on to sustain their lives,and all that is not the fault of so-called non indegienes.you can't eradicate muslim and hauas fulani from Jos,and Jos north LG and other muslim villages are not your problems,your problem is your unpatriotic leaders who are bringing you weapons to kill your selves.I'am at this junction calling upon so-called Jos/plateu indegienes that they should please think twice/otherwise and stop killing innocent women and children,young and old,men and women Nigerians.you should better go to school and understand what life is all about,they should wake up and look for job in a legalmanner and not by killng and stealing of cows and nonindegiene's properties.Religious leaders should tell those influencials among you who always assist you with weapons to please change their habits,by giving you money or job to sustain your life,they should also tell their fellowers that peace and unity is the key to success; and christianity never gives room for killing innocent people as you are doing.Give back the lands and belongings back to their owners.The federal govt,should give equal treatment to all Nigerians,and declares that Nigerians have the right to live anywhere and at all times without any hurt by the majority.Those found making weapons or exporting it should be punished for orthers to see,those found guilty of killing and injuring others should be well punished.as well those offended must be given compensation from both sides.Finally you the so-called indegienes, remember that those you are killing like rats, they too are humans like you,and time is coming that your people in other part of the country will start to pay the debt if you did'nt stop.Thank you for giving me your time,Alksim salisu from school of nursing, Katsina state.
