The bitter truth is that Jos has become the center of tribal dispute. The northerners who are of different tribe from the natives are unable live with natives who are themselves have history of blood. It is a bad mix. No lasting peace talk in Jos and in North will occur without getting the Igbos involved. What is happening in Jos has been happening to Igbo people of Kogi state for centuries. Fight the north for the northerners attitude and make it the north for Nigeria attitude. And stop the killing.
