The 2015 election is at hand and many issues have been raised as reminders or maybe propaganda tools. Most of these reminders are centered on the last election and the role of some individuals. One of the painful events of the last election is the mindless slaughter of youth corpers in Bauchi.

On the surface, we have been made to believe that the killings was as a result of buhari losing the election and his incisive comments to his supporters. However, understanding the real cause of the event will go a long way in preventing further occurences. this is owing to the fact that same thing might likely happen next year and we will still come back online to mourn and accuse people fruitlessly.

WHAT HAPPENED IN BAUCHI.
During the presidential election in 2011, corpers were used as the polling unit staff and were deployed to various polling units to conduct elections. in the process, a corp member was caught with ballot papers thumb printing for pdp. suddenly he was accosted and a mob almost killed him but he was saved by some soldiers.
However, immediately, the mob started going after any corpers they see, muslims or christians and lynched them. that was how many innocent corpers lost their lives.
.
Now lets consider this, having condemned the actions of the mob, do we not think that it could have been prevented? if the corpers did not engage in malpractice, he could have put himself and others at risk.

there are so many uneducated people in the north, people that can be easily influenced by people, hence, you dont expect them to be as rational as you are. Thus, it is important to educate ourselves and avoid those kind of people.

Finally, the essence of this write up is to counsel all of us and those that will be directly involved in the elections. no nigerian politician is worth your life and no amount is worth your safety.

We must be careful this coming elections because tensions are high and any slight provocation could bring a disastrous outcome. We must watch what we say in various places, we must avoid taking part in electoral malpeactices. especially on nairaland, we must avoid saying provocative things.

Thank you.

How come the killings started after the results were decleared n not immediately this ur figmated incident took place ?
