"They killed three of my children: the 14 year old was slaughtered right in front of the house; the 10 year old was burned inside the house; the 2 year old was also burned in the house.
They also killed my husband... They kept asking ‘where is your God’ "

I would have given the benefit of a doubt to @YusufTuggar, on the assumption that our Foreign Affairs Minister didn’t see this 👇🏾clip or such thousands of testimonies; but doing so will also mean believing he didn’t know that, in one night alone, 258 Christians were massacred in Yelewata this year by Fulani Islamist Jihad 💔
Unless the mission of establishing an Islamic Caliphate, which sovereign state engages in an international propaganda to deny a genocide meted against its citizens, all a because they call on the name of Christ?

The History Of Jos Main Market "Terminus Market"... The Largest Indoor Market In West Africa.
Jos Main Market, also known as Jos Terminal Market, was an ultra-modern market located in Jos, the capital of Plateau State, Nigeria.[1] It was known to be the largest indoor market in West Africa. Established under the first Military Governor of the old Benue-Plateau State, The market was one of two major reasons why people visited Jos, the Plateau State capital. The other reason was the unique cool weather.
The beautiful, ultra-modern Jos market was located in the city centre of Jos.
The market and the weather combined to make Jos probably the beautiful city in the country, if not in West Africa. The exclusive cool weather of Plateau is no doubt a natural phenomenon, but the Jos ultra-modern market was a very unique man-made beauty. When the market was constructed even up till today, one could not find its type in any state of the federation. The market had a unique design that made it the most attractive tourist site in the state. People travelled from all over the country to catch a glimpse of it. The famous market was constructed by the first military administrator of the state following its creation in 1975, Police Commissioner Joseph Deshi Gomwalk. And indigenous Plateau leader, J. D. Gomwalk thought of a project that would stand the test of the state out. He then came up with the idea of the market. He began constructing it with conviction and maximum attention time as well as stand The tourism impact of the market was such that the federal government counted it as one of its topmost tourism destinations. Due to the complexity and vastness of the market, its construction lasted more than 10 years. It went on throughout the four years Gomwalk served as the first governor of the state. He handed the same market project to the first civilian governor of the state, Chief Solomon Lar in 1979. Considering the huge potential of the market project, all the administrators who inherited the project cannot resist working for the realisation of the dream of the market. On completion, the market had shop accommodation for at least 3,500 traders. The open space at the base of the market was meant to accommodate at least 2000 shops. It was constructed with provisions for banks, restaurants, police stations, fire service stations, post offices, warehouses, and car parks as well as office accommodations for market staff, among others. A huge amount of taxpayers' funds and loans running into billions of naira went into the market project before its completion.
The cause of the fire disaster which occurred in February 2002 remains unknown to date. Nigerians who either know or have heard about the market mourn its destruction. Former governor of the state, Solomon Lar, who played a positive role in completing the market, wept like a baby when he went to see the extent of damage to the market. The disaster sent thousands of traders out of business; it threw thousands of staff out of work, reducing the state tourism to nearly nothing and bringing the state economy to its knees. Indeed, no other disaster has affected the state like that of the market. The total loss recorded in the market fire disaster cannot be quantified. Some traders committed suicide following the huge loss they encountered. A commission of inquiry was set up by the then Joshua Dariye administration to ascertain the causes of the inferno. The report of the commission never saw the light of the day. Knowing how the market had given the state national and global prominence, it was expected that the state government would move quickly to reconstruct the market considering especially its huge economic potential to the state. The state government made promises of reconstructing the market through public-private partnership, but 22 years after the destruction of the market, such promises have not been fulfilled by the state government.
