Talk:Jos

message: regarding the 2001 riots in Jos: didn't they follow on increased demands by Hausa residents for political representation, including the possibility of a Hausa governor or Gbong Gwom Jos? the rioting was more properly between Hausas and "Plateau indigenes" (for want of a better term for Nassarawas, Beroms, etc.) than it was between Muslims and Christians. certainly Dariye's suspension and eventual reinstatement was as a result of powerful "Plateau indigenes" rejecting outside interference in Middle Belt politics, and insisting that for better or worse Dariye is a Plateau man?
what does it mean to say that Jos "is also a traditional state"?
Jos is a traditional state of sorts because the city's predominant population of indigenous Beroms is Governed by a traditional monarch that goes by the title of Gbong Gwom Jos. Most of of the city's political divisions (Jos North and South local government areas) are dominated by the Berom tribe who are ruled by the monarch. There are several subordinate chiefs of the smaller Berom districts (Riyom and Barkin Ladi) that also fall under the Jos joint traditional council thus unifying the Gbong Gwom Jos stool as preeminent and the single sovereign of Jos City.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abrahamvwi7 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I was just coming into here to comment on this. The riots aren't necessarily caused by Christians fighting Muslims, they're caused by the Hausa living in the area being termed as "settlers", and being restricted from public activity by the "indigenes". The BBC did a documentary on this yesterday, and I've found quite a bit of other evidence about this elsewhere. I have a feeling that changing the description of the clashes from "Muslim vs Christian" (how the Western media oversimplifies the situation) to "Hausa vs other ethnic groups" (closer to what's actually going on) could be controversial with some, tho. Any thoughts on this? Rjhatl (talk) 14:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

message: *The arline information provided in this article is out of date (e.g. Nigeria Airways)
*more relevant information on the economy, demograpics, etc are required.
*the "Hillcrest" school info is fine, but should be balanced with more information on the education sector in the town.
*the large agricultural industry in the town should also get a mention.

thread_title:  The picture of jos 

message: please do more research. The history and people lack depth. Popular persons are not only Footballers and Musicians. Have you forgotten the longest serving head of state etc. The history of settlement is not given and the tribes that made up jos. What about the institutions, language tribes, the Political history and Cultural antecedents.
Please research and update.
Thanks
