![Abdul_Ahmad_'s tweet photo. THREAD: THE MAJOR JOS CRISES SERIES
Part 1: The 2001 Jos Crisis –
Let the Facts Speak On Friday, 7th September 2001, what started as a small dispute in Congo-Russia area of Jos quickly exploded into one of the deadliest religious/ethnic clashes in Nigeria’s history. Immediate Trigger (as documented by Human Rights Watch in their December 2001 report “Jos: A City Torn Apart”):
A Christian woman tried to cross a road blocked by Muslims who were praying on the public highway near the University of Jos. Hausa youths challenged her, tempers flared, fighting broke out. Within hours, the whole city was on fire. But make no mistake – this was not a sudden event.
Remote Causes (Human Rights Watch, page 7-10): Deep tension over “indigene” vs “settler” rights in Jos.
1. Hausa/Fulani (mostly Muslim) community feeling politically marginalized.
2. Appointment of Alhaji Mukhtari Mohammed (a Hausa Muslim) as Jos North Poverty Eradication Programme coordinator was seen by indigenous groups as another attempt to dominate them.
3. Months of open threats, hate leaflets, and inflammatory statements from both sides that the government ignored despite several warnings from NGOs.
HRW explicitly stated:
“The Nigerian government could and should have prevented mass killings in Jos in September... The violence could have been foreseen but government authorities failed to take action to prevent it.”
Death Toll & Atrocities (HRW):
At least 1,000 people killed in just 6 days (7–13 September 2001).
Hundreds of churches and mosques burnt.
People burnt alive in their homes, hacked with machetes, shot while fleeing.
Bodies littered the streets – some still burning days later.
The Justice Niki Tobi Judicial Commission of Inquiry (2001–2002) – Plateau State Government:
This is the most important official document on the crisis.
Key findings:
The crisis was planned and orchestrated.
The major remote cause was the unresolved question of who truly owns Jos – the indigene/settler dichotomy.
Justice Niki Tobi warned clearly:
“Unless the government and people of Plateau recognize and identify the ownership of Jos as recommended by the commission, there will be no end to crises in Jos in particular, and the state in general.”
According to @hrw
The Response of the Government
Response to the Violence of September 2001
The governor of Plateau State, Joshua Dariye, came under fierce criticism for inaction and negligence before and during the crisis. In particular, he was criticized for traveling abroad just one week before the crisis, at a time when tensions had already
risen to a dangerous level. A local human rights activist told Human Rights Watch: “When the governor returned half way through the crisis, he just tried to order people
to get on with their normal activities [….] The government has been pushing the problem under the carpet. They have played down the violence including the number
of victims. They reacted after the fact and mismanaged the situation.”
As with the police, Human Rights Watch made repeated attempts to meet the governor but was told that he was not available. On the basis of the evidence described above, particularly the threats contained in correspondence addressed to the governor
himself and other material circulated in the days leading up to the violence, it is difficult to believe that the state government was not aware of the dangerous build-
up of tension. The government also appeared to ignore several calls of alarm from local human rights organizations who personally visited the office of the deputy
governor, the commissioner of police and the director of the SSS, including on September 7, the day the violence started. When they asked why the security forces
had not seen the warning signs, they were told that the warnings had been communicated to the authorities; yet no action was taken.

Honestly it’s not an achievement at all. I mean, who would have cared where the Allahbura name came from, right? Nor associating one’s name with it? Or passing it on?
One could have best gotten their identity from a one night stand, or i mean no identity at all. Go Queeen 🥂
I would like to express my profound appreciation to all those who have celebrated this great milestone with us in one way or another.
May the knowledge acquired continue to be useful to humanity, Ameen…🌹
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors should not have to beg for what has already been agreed upon. The Federal Government signed a deal on the Professional Allowance Table, and now it wants to abandon it. This is not governance; it is betrayal.
Our resident doctors are the last line of defence in hospitals that are already collapsing. They work gruelling hours, in impossible conditions, for pay that insults their sacrifice. And now, the government seeks to take away the little that was promised? The Tinubu administration must demonstrate commitment to the issues: 19 months of unpaid Professional Allowance arrears; promotion arrears gathering dust; a Medical Residency Training Fund stuck in bureaucratic limbo; and a government that treats its doctors as an afterthought and remains unconcerned as they flee the country in droves.
Every doctor Nigeria loses to the UK, Canada, or Saudi Arabia is a failure of leadership, not a failure of patriotism. You cannot ask people to serve a nation that refuses to honour its own word.
I stand with NARD. Pay what you owe. Honour what you signed. Or explain to 200 million Nigerians why their hospitals will go dark on Tuesday. -AA

Let the record reflect that these are the school girls that were kidnapped in Kebbi state
All of them are Muslims. Save and archive, because tomorrow we can wake up and these dangerous idiots on social media will tell us they’re Christian girls
"There's No genøcide happening in Nigeria, Nor Are Christians being targeted"

There is No Christian Genocide in Nigeria !!!
There is No Christian Genocide in Nigeria !!!
There is No Christian Genocide in Nigeria !!!
This is exactly how underage prostitution and baby factory are sustained in the South by encouraging baby factories and discouraging marriage, in the name of copying western civilisation.
Christian terrorists Magaji Innocent have gone into hiding after authorities declared him wanted for masterminding the killing and kidnapping of several Muslims in Nasarawa state
In case you think incidents like this are happening for the first time, let me tell you boldly that they are not.
Exactly one year ago, a professor and 19 medical students were kidnapped in Otukpo, Benue State. The same people who were shouting and pushing the “Christian genocide” narrative immediately blamed Fulani and Muslims.
But when the police did their due diligence and arrested the kidnappers, none of their names or faces matched the description of a Fulani man or Muslim. They were all Christians from the same Benue.
As usual, those who spread the propaganda went silent, because they are not searching for the truth, they are searching for a version of the truth that suits their agenda, and if the facts do not fit that agenda, they simply look away.
