The Igbo community in Jos, the Plateau State capital, has disclosed that it lost no fewer than 36 of its members in the recent Jos bomb attack. The Community also said 42 of its community members were injured in the attack, while several others are still missing. Recall that Jos recently witnessed heavy bomb blasts that killed at least 122 people at the Terminus Market.
Eze Igbo of Plateau State, Professor Joseph Obilom, who gave this disclosure while addressing newsmen at his palace in Jos, also kicked against mass burial for the deceased. Obilom said the Igbos were the worst hit by the blast, adding that, “our members are mostly traders who own shops at the Terminus market and their goods worth millions of naira were destroyed.” “We are kicking against a mass burial for our members because it is against our tradition. Our people bury their members in their ancestral homes,” he said. He called on the federal and state governments to come to intervene by sending relief materials to victims of the unfortunate attacks.

As long you continue staying in Ugwu Awusa,they will continue killing you.We will never cry for you people again.This people have made it clear they do not want you in their land,yet you keep staying there.Why not pack your loads and relocate to your fatherland and develop it.Come back to Onitsha,Nnewi,Enugu,Awka,Aba,Abakilike,Umuahia,Nsukka......there is enough space to live in your land.Continue staying there,they will continue killing you like fowls.

they will be welcomed in Edo state, if there is no more space in the east. we are very generous and hospitable so long as you respect our values. even during the civil war when Ojukwu and his boys trespassed on our land, we didn't hold it against them and attack them. so the Ibos should stop making themselves sitting ducks in the north, and come home .

This are the word of my matser: No weak heart shall prosper. So who so ever diggeth a pit, shall fall inn. If you are the big fool, remain there until the last prayer is goodbye.
