On Sunday Mr and Mrs Coola had to by-pass Jos entirely on our way to Maiduguri. We stayed for 3 uneasy days in Maiduguri and Bauchi and came back thru Jos this morning. Thank God, there was no problem where we expected the most damage along Bauchi Road.
The crisis is political and Gov. Jang should be held responsible. He and his Berom ppl have an agenda that they want to achieve which is to curtail the growing influence of the muslims right in the middle of Jos town.
The LG elections provided the right opportunity. According to Jang, PDP won in ALL the LG's... haba! Ex-Customs Boss, Buba Gyang's brother is supposed to have won in Jos North. (Buba Gyang was Jang's main financial backer during the PDP primaries)
There is NO WAY a Berom man can win in Jos North. The place is totally filled with northern muslim settlers who came many years ago, bought land, developed it and now live in Jos township.
They didn't come via a jihad, mind you. So, to wake up one day and try to push them out or rob them of victory is only courting for disaster. We just have to live together. Their political power can be diluted, blunted or whittled in other ways but not thru this blatant injustice.
According to Jang, PDP won in ALL the LG's... including my LG which is AC thru and thru. It is not possible for PDP to win in all 17 LG's. Period.
But then, why the aggrieved muslims should start burning churches beats me. It turned the whole thing around into a religious wahala. It was a very bad solution. It backfired on them badly. They should learn to direct their anger to the right target: State INEC, Government Buildings/Vehicles etc. or better still organise peaceful demonstrations, the courts etc. instead of shaking a hornets nest. They must NEVER forget that they are still a minority in Plateau State and will suffer more in any reprisal.
Again, may God judge my Governor Jonah Jang at His own time. I hope he is happy dispensing millions of our money as "security vote" to keep the Soldiers and Police on the streets.
Oh! how I miss OBJ in times like this... Jang would have been sent to the cooler for some months for putting my wife and I at risk!

@Coola: Great to know you guys are ok and thanks for your perspective on the root of the Jos crisis. We hope that this time justice will prevail and all arrested rioters will be prosecuted. Enough of this recurring destruction of life and property.

@coola: so u were in maid and u ddnt look me up! Nice to know u n madam r fine. I agree that this jos crisis is all political. Some crooks hijacked it from there and started looting. Most of the religious attacks had looting/ pillaging origins.
