I swear with the one that created me, any day we fall on the people of Jos, as the mouth opens, with the Hausa you people are speaking and hypocrisy.
You killed Fulani people during Sallah and came back and killed them. Cursed people of Jos, before we come for you guys, it is better you people fall inside the water and die.
And also to all the Igbos in the North, when we are done with Jos people we will come for you all. Pack your things and leave the North and go back to your villages.”
