The body of a small boy shot in the chest by a stray bullet was brought to a police station.

"They have destroyed our cars and our houses. I had to run for my life and I am now in my neighbor's house," said Dora Ogbebor, a resident of Zaria whose origins are in the south.

Plumes of smoke rose into the air in parts of Kaduna as protesters set fire to barricades of tyres. Security forces fired in the air and used teargas to disperse groups of youths shouting "We want Buhari, we want Buhari."

Police said the violence was political rather than ethnic or religious. Twelve years after the end of military rule, the army said it stood fully behind the government and democratic rule.

Jonathan appealed to all politicians to end violence.

"No one's political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian," he said in a statement.

Mr Buhari is yet to make a public statement on the rioting, but his spokesman Yinka Odumakin said that they could not “accept these results as announced until cross-checks have been carried out by the electoral commission”. The electoral commission is expected to announce the final results later today.

Odumakin too, would not make a statement to save lives and call for calm, instead he ranted about election results. Shockingly, he is a Christian from Southern Nigeria whose people were mercilessly cut down.

KAi!!!

The man has no class.

Just a street thug. How dare he think he could rule over us?

He must think we're still in 1986.

even in victory, team gej cannot stop their petty lies and manipuation

(Reuters) - Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan appealed for unity on Monday after deadly riots erupted in largely Muslim opposition strongholds over his election victory.

Churches, homes and shops were set ablaze and the Red Cross said many people were killed, hundreds injured and thousands displaced in the outburst of anger by supporters of Jonathan's northern rival, former army ruler Muhammadu Buhari.

"We must quickly move away from partisan battlegrounds," Jonathan said in his acceptance speech after being declared the winner with 57 percent of the vote to Buhari's 31 percent.

"Nobody's political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian," said Jonathan, the first president from the Niger Delta region which accounts for most of Nigeria's oil wealth.

Observers have called the poll the fairest in decades in Africa's most populous nation. But Buhari's supporters accuse the ruling party of rigging and rejected the results.

The results show how polarized the country of 150 million is, with Buhari, 68, sweeping the north and Jonathan, 53, winning the largely Christian south.

The Nigerian Red Cross said churches, mosques and homes had been burned in rioting across the north and many people had been killed, but it was impossible to give a toll for now. It said nearly 300 people had been injured and 15,000 displaced.

"In Kaduna we have seen dead bodies lying by the road," Red Cross official Umar Mairiga told Reuters. "Two thousand people have been displaced at one military camp alone."

Authorities in five states imposed curfews. Protesters set fire to the residence of Vice President Namadi Sambo in the town of Zaria. The body of a small boy shot in the chest by a stray bullet was brought to a police station.

"They have destroyed our cars and our houses. I had to run for my life and I am now in my neighbor's house," said Dora Ogbebor, a resident of Zaria whose origins are in the south.

Plumes of smoke rose into the air in parts of Kaduna as protesters set fire to barricades of tires. Security forces fired in the air and used teargas to disperse groups of youths shouting "We want Buhari, we want Buhari."

Police said the violence was political rather than ethnic or religious. Twelve years after the end of military rule, the army said it stood fully behind the government and democratic rule.

Buhari was yet to make any public statement on the violence despite appeals by foreign embassies that he call for calm.

ACCUSATION

The former general's Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) party said in a letter to the electoral commission that voters had been intimidated, ballot boxes stuffed in Jonathan's strongholds and computers set up to deprive it of votes.

I think the statement is too weak to end the violence. The beloved General himself needs to appear on TV and rebuke the violence in Hausa.

i no fit shout. all of a sudden its ok for buhari to be speaking to nigerians in hausa?

Dunce.
That is not the full article as well. At this rate, you should have been out rioting (probably were).

Buhari is an agent of doom . . .he want's to scuttle our democracy just like he did in the past but this time he will fail  . . . .

oyb:

When he indirectly twisted their mind set for this carnage in his campaigns . .guess he used english to address his almajiri foot soldiers  . .

Now yall want Buhari on TV.

Now you want him speaking in his native Hausa tongue. . . .

Wow, Hypocrites. . . .

[size=13pt]BUHARI ISNT THE PRESIDENT![/size]

He is merely the leader of the terrorists that have caused a 24 hour curfew to be nailed on Kaduna till further notice.

i wonder o o o

is this how our president elect is going to fail his first test?

He is merely the leader of the terrorists that have caused a 24 hour curfew to be nailed on Kaduna.

careful that you don't saro wiwa buhari in your desperation

If his supporters still feel they are above the law and should dare continue in their inbuilt savagery. . then the cracking crush of the bullet on their skulls  would serve as a sound reminder of who the boss is . . . . . They are just waiting for the orders to crush any silly act . . .and in due time restraint will not longer be an option .

Im confused here; is Buhari our president elect?

This is nonsense. If GEJ does not work his fresh air on them northerners, when will they take him serious?

The way Buhari is behaving, I don't like it. The audacity. If such a man has ethics and cares for Nigeria as he want to make us believe, foreign embassies wont even need to put their mouth in our business.


Shame on GEJ for his inactiveness
shame on Buhari for his pride.

I find it hard to believe that Buhari cannot even find the barest minimum required of a leader, he can't muster the gentlemanliness to make a call for calm to his irate supporter; yet he wanted to be president of Nigeria!

^^^Um, ret*ard, he was on Al Jazeera and The Africa Channel urging calm. WHY HASNT GEJ TAKEN ACTION, OR ISNT HE THE PRESIDENT?!

These folks love creating messes and then expecting others to clean it up. Buhari is under no obligation to save GEJ's behind.

beaf why are u spoiling this man's name everywhere

buhari did not tell anyone to burn or kill, why does he have to tell them to stop

can the people not protest again or is it out of the right

when MEND has been bombing, killing and kidnapping in protest of the government u where not screaming like this

please don't annoying intelligent people like us

beaf is a fool of the highest order. Why did he have to rig, he cheated northerners and now its going to be hard for him to stay there!! The sad fact is, he could've won but only in a run off!!! Can you imagine, they burned down the emir of kano's palace and former speaker ghali na'abba's house as well. If they can do that then you know the PDP rigged. Jonathan cannot get 40% of the votes in sokoto, thats rigging and a big question mark!! he could've have won in a run off but in his desperation to avoid a run off, he had to go and rig!!! thats just what is causing this. Even namadi sambo's family home in zaria was razed to the ground! HE SHOULD NOT HAVE RIGGED!!! NOW ALL OUT WAR MAY NOT BE FAR OFF!!! just coz of do or die politics

LOL! You guys were caught this time. While you where busy making threats and calling GEJ all sorts of degrading names (typical core-Northern hegemonist "campaign" tactics), the man was busy adding two and two to triangulate you fools out of contention. Cry all you like, its late now, there's nothing quite as comprehensive as an intellectual routing. It actually fvcks with mind!!!
Who are you gonna cry to when EVERY national and international independent observer is reporting the elections as free and fair? When all foreign news agencies are reporting same?

Dude, cry by all means; fill buckets with tears, but accept reality. If you try all out war, you will be erased from the map, its the WHOLE of Nigeria against you. Do you now see why it is really really bad to be intellectually routed?

Dunce.

To say ure an id*iot will be a fuxcking compliment.

Theres something I learnt a few years ago at a Dept. Of State U.S Security Overseas Seminar. . . . . .

NEVER GLOAT OVER DIPLOMATIC VICTORIES!

Dude, the best victory is celebrated without much fanfare. To boast is to rub salt into wounds, put your adversary on guard, and make future accommodations with him more difficult! Usually, a man doesnt know that he has suffered a sharp defeat until he hears the victor boasting about it.

You will do urself, and ur people, a favor by heeding this message!

The animals are at it again.

Most CPC supporters are either northerners or Muslims. Now it is a fact that being either of the two implies a disposition to bestial behavior. A combination of the two guarantees it.


Can't we just sterilize the beasts, so they can't have children? Those that are alive (is that the right word? Are they sentient?) can be taken care of by euthanasia.



Buhari is no different

To be fair, Beaf was not the one boasting about the win. It was his other allies who were doing so.

Business has been taken care off here, and its gonna be so for donkey years.
You are a dunce and always will be. Go advice your drug sniffing, mass murdering Mexican cousins. Or pop a needle into your wretched veins if need be. Lost, monkey brained bufoon. LOL!!!!!!!!!

This is really silly. So what if Buhari refused to call for calm? Are you still going to let this continue?


People are dying and these incompetent clowns are asking Buhari to do their job for them. Is Buhari the chief law enforcement officer of Nigeria? Is Buhari the AIG?


These clowns are unbelievable , and to even think some fools just asked these losers to rule Nigeria for 4 more years?

Sometimes, I miss OBJ, because he would have ordered the army to shoot at sight.

this only reveals d basic truth our leaders have been preventin, the unity of nigeria is fake, tribalism is real.

got me thinking too.

And GEJ continues to haemorrage the Nation.

Shameful
