To those who have become INEC chairmen on Nairaland.

Dear Social Media Activist,
It will be on Monday, or Tuesday. That is when
violence will erupt on the streets, if there will be
violence. If there will be violence? Do you set
your roof on fire and expect it not to burn?
It is natural, in the case of post-electoral
.violence, that many will curse the crude street
mobs doing the actual sport of hacking off heads
from shoulders. You, the Facebook and Twitter
typist, you will blame everyone else but yourself.
But the blood is on you. The blood of many who
will lose their lives because you were exuberantly
stupid, will be on your head.
Because, you "delivered your ward" to your party;
because Mr. this and that lost his ward to your
party; because your friend also delivered his own
ward - in an election of, say, 2 million voters in a
State, your party won by 150-90 votes in your
ward, you therefore claim categorically that your
party is "coasting home to victory"! "They'd
better not rig it overnight", you warn. You've
seen victory, judging by the trend of winning
running in your head. Anything contrary to that
reality, is rigging. Chai! But it's somehow good
to realize that blind religion is not the monopolist
of stupidity in the world. It shares that shame
with politics, nay, Nigerian politics.
Can you please be patient and wait for collation
of results to be concluded? Your result is out,
and your victory rice already cooking, when
results are yet to be collated in many states. You
say you are a member of an intelligent, order-
seeking generation, against the backdrop of an
old, lying, deceitful generation whose ass is the
target of your kicks. Can you please calm down,
and tilt your head up, down, left, right, so that all
the bolts can be shuffled back to their right
places?
Do you not realize that some ordinary people out
there are already celebrating in their homes,
because they "heard" on Facebook that this or
that party is already leading? Do you not realize
that the charge of rigging, and possible violence,
may be their later resort when that legitimate
organ in this enterprise, INEC, announces a final
result that contradicts your posts?
You claim there's no way your candidate can
lose. Because you supplied the material from
which the minds of over 60 million voters were
made, you are so certain how those people will
vote. When you see that your party is losing, you
begin to discredit the whole electoral process,
citing irregularities here and there. Ok, if after
discrediting the election your party wins, does
that mean you'll reject the victory?
So, dear Friend, if, by Monday or Tuesday, some
people who have digested your concoctions take
to violence, and possibly kill others, don't come
making updates about some amorphous culprit
out there. You are the killer!
Ok, ok, we know we need to keep tabs on the
process because we don't trust the politicians.
But we should keep tabs with our heads properly
screwed on our necks. Some blogs already have
final results, with percentage allocations! That's
keeping tabs for witchcraft. Calm down and wait
for authentic results, state by state, before you
turn up your music. Even credible media houses
are not yet saying anything on 'early lead'. Many
times in Nigeria, results have shown that
electoral victories on the social media are figures
of speech, meaning the opposite of what they
say!
Regards,
A Concerned Nigerian.
