Just In: My colleague travelled to Abuja for his Agip scholarship test. On his way back to Jos, some guys stopped their vehicle to inquire whether they were Muslims or Christians. Luckily for them, they were all Christians and so their vehicle was allowed to pass freely.
The only Muslim lady inside the vehicle was lucky enough to pull her hijab and she hid it. That was what saved her from being lynched. My friend said he saw them smashing the head of two people right in from of him ( a driver transporting tomatoes and peppers & a young man).
According to him, a lady backing a small baby was almost lynched but some of them protested and begged she be left alone because of her baby. That was her own saving grace.
This was the SMS I got yesterday from one of my bosses. I never knew the crisis had taken another dimension today. Security in Nigeria is something else.
I was in house on the rock today here in Jos when the pastor was telling us that one of the security personnel attached to the church told him that he assisted in evacuating close to 28 corpse at barkin ladi. My boss just this afternoon told me over close to 300 dead.
For those of u traveling to central/southern part of Plateau state, be watchful please. Bcoz some of us have to make you turn from St John minor seminary barkin ladi for our life's. God protect ur people, ur people are seriously in pains. Forgive our sins an save plateau. #copied

I saw a Fulani security this evening that was narrating how his cousin was murdered yesterday. According to him, his cousin was on his was from Mangu to Jos when their bus was stopped. They separated the Christians from Muslims & they asked the Christians to get back into..
the bus. It was one of the Christian guys who boarded the bus & happened to be a friend of his cousin that picked the boy's call and narrated what transpired to the family. The guy that was murdered was schooling in plateau state poly. #PlateauLivesMatter#PlateauKillings

During a robbery in Guangzhou, China, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."
Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.
When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!
When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."
