Jos, Jos, Jos and more of Jos....

Yea, Jos on fire again. Like anyone's surprised. What's surprising is that it keeps happening again and again, people killing each other just like that and no one knows how to make them stop. Its really incredible!
We're supposed to have a special military unit there to stop these people from killing themselves and yet even they can't do anything. Its absolutely incredible! So what do you do if you're a government and you can't exert any power over a particular section of your domain. You just don't know how to stop people from killing themselves. Forget the reason for the violence, religious, political, social, whatever. What do you call a Head of State or a Commander in Chief who has maybe by choice or ineptitude, absolutely no control over his domain.
Why exactly are the people over in Jos killing each other? I hear its a Muslim/Christian thing. Others say its local politics. You hear all sorts, like someone said its part of an Islamic plot to take over Nigeria starting with Jos, or that its part of an Al-queda plot to make Nigeria ungovernable. I once listened to Goodluck Jonathan's take on the Jos issue on CNN and it was really disappointing. He just sat there blabbing and talking  like an educated illiterate with absolutely no idea of what's really going down in Jos. The interviewer knew more about Jos than the so-called President did. Its been going on for years now but this time around its taken a very dangerous twist with the violence and killings going on almost everyday, and lately with the introduction of bombs! Maybe the arsonists have seen what every other Nigerian has seen in Goodluck Jonathan and have decided to go all out this time with everything in their arsenal. We all know Jonathan is the weakest President we've had in our history, even weaker and less assertive than Shagari was. It really would be surprising if this regime had any clue on how to stop the violence in Jos. I think we all just need to get used to having people die in Jos everyday because Jonathan is almost certainly going to win another term in office and continue with his ineptitude and incompetence. The guy strikes me as a totally confused person, thrust into national politics only because a certain ex-president needed someone he could manipulate with his puppet strings so he could continue with his third term.
Something tells me this is going to be the first of many posts on Jos, I have a feeling its just the beginning. Another four years of Jonathan and the violence may even spread to other parts of the North or worse the whole country!
Any solution in sight? Can't see any sadly! So many administrative panels have been set up over the years. Jonathan even joined the fray and set up his own advisory panel with the usual feasting and politicking that accompanies such jamborees and of course the  recommendations which everyone is very quick to forget. The recommendations or resolutions or whatever always end up somewhere in someone's file cabinet. Then the violence dies down a little, we all pretend like it never happened and move on. Then someone else is killed, we make the usual noise, people remember there was panel and start asking questions, the President comes out and says the same ol gibberish about bringing the perpetrators to book and he probably sets up another panel again just so people will stop making noise and to make it seem like he's doing something. The cycle goes on and on and on till those really causing the violence start to wonder if they're really getting the attention of the Government with their violence.
Government everywhere else is all about Providing water, Food security, Sound education, good roads, Security of lives and Property. Here in Nigeria, you provide your own food, send  your children to private schools, have to make do with bad roads, provide your own water, generate your own electricity and yet still you'd think they'd have a little sympathy on you and at least guaranty your safety but hell no! They just can't guaranty you that or even worse, the people who are supposed to protect you end up "accidentally discharging" you. So what exactly is our government doing with all that oil money? Really amazing country Nigeria! No wonder we have so many Universities everywhere studying Nigeria. Nigeria is a real case study.
Sadly this is one of many posts I'm going to make about Jos. Have no idea when or how its going to end. Will probably end with the demise of Nigeria. Seriously, hope it does!
