Buhari's supporters thinking like Buhari. In a democratic government the rule of law should be adhere to.

That someone killed someone even when it is obvious, it does not mean that the person will be sentences without having his day in court.

The journalist is simply pointing out that Buhari was wrong and that the rule of law should prevail. Someone snatching ballot box is not a ground for execution. The snatcher should have his day in court and if find guilty should serve what even punishment the law proscribed for his crime.

Did Buhari even said that any Fulani that attacks a village should be shot at sight? Did he ever take such a crude stance towards Fulani?

How can we have peaceful election when ballot boxes are snatched? Do the thugs who snatch ballot boxes come with roses to the polling unit to share to voters or use guns to perpetrate their crime? Buhari just gave a warning that could make the election peaceful and that fake journalist is not getting it.

Vote out hardship, nepotism,hardluck, excuse master....
Vote Baba recession out that our country may prosper gan!A thriving economy will create jobs that can pay you better and also create a more conducive environment to do business. Reason properly brothers and sisters!
Why would anybody vote for Buhari because of Osibanjo??
Osibanjo failed to condemn the wanton killing of innocent Nigerians in the middle belt and some parts of Northeast, yet he's a pastor!
Herdsmen have taken over people's farmlands in my village and other villages in Nigeria without Osibanjo advising his boss to stop them, yet you want to vote for them??!I mean how can a sane man defend this government that is so anti- people? BMC is failing and so will BSO fail.

My heart bleeds to hear that a sitting president proposed killing of any citizen who may snatch ballot box on the election day, this is not only an impeachable offence, it will create fear and panic in the mind of electorates who will be very much more relunctant now to go out and cast their vote.

I have this to say


1. APC is PDP. Nigeria need new sets of people in government.


2. Don't be decieved when they talk about candidate's lack of experences. Where has experiences of past and present political leaders place us in the league of nations.


3. Media houses should please help us echo the name of Sowore Omoyele of African Action Congress party for the remaining days to the general election so that people can find little hope and be encouraged to cast their vote for him.


4. As a young person and or student, please vote for, educate your parent and encourage them to vote Sowore Omoyele of AAC party, educate them about the logo and specific number where they will find the party logo on the ballot paper.

(This is a smart action and it will pay off afterall.)


5. It is pittiable that the INEC Chairman is yet to appologize to fellow Nigerian about the posponement of date of the general election. He also does not see it necesssary to explain to us the specific events surrounding the logistic problems.

Note that the electoral process is jeopadized already with the confessions that card readers to be use during election was contracted to an aspirant. Having family relatives of the president as election collation chairman is also pittiable.


6. INEC should consider the further postponement of election date as it is evident that INEC will not be ready to conduct election in the one week requested. If three years was not enough to prepare for an election, how come one week will?


7. Let your voice be heard, speak out about your choiced candidate and encourage others to vote for him or her.

Tyrany and evil will continue to increase when good men keep quiet. Your silent mean an approval and we will all bear the consequence of all our actions and inactions.

Do u not think tht if the president said what u suggested, in some communities some pple will just shoot a Fulani man they see on their community because they think he has come to attack them. With such statement u will create more harm than good

Death penalty is not the punishment for ballot box snatchers. Thank God the international communities are taking note if every comment made by Buhari and the APC

Because they come armed doesn't mean we should automatically set out to kill them. We should set out to apprehend them but if that fails brute force might be used.

The president proscribing brute force as the default approach is highly irresponsible of him.

Then shooting ballot box snatcher on sight isn't going to cause more harm than good?

No problem at all. You people should continue hailing Buhari in his undemocratic tendency, one day the table will turn. All politicians in Nigeria have armed thugs including Buhari, last time APC held primary elections was like Nigeria was at war. Since 1999 up to last year, I have not seen the primary election as blood as that of APC. You mean those boys have not battle ready for this election? We shall see.

Please use your brain. The Nigerian police is fully aware of the rules of engagement. If a ballot snatcher poses an imminent threat, they don't need to be told to reply with deadly force. As it is, these policemen and soldiers kill people for doing way trivial things that they do not need to be encouraged to commit more acts of impunity.

So if stray bullets from police kills innocent bystanders or voters in a bid to shoot ballot snatchers would you be happy?

Do you think voters would come out and vote when they've been told that there is a possibility of a shoot out at the voting stations?

Nobody is saying don't kill ballot box snatchers. But if you must kill them do it according to the rule of law. Let that judgment come from a judge in the court and not some trigger happy police.

Buhari felt giving advantage to the North will balance up the equation thats why even the SW lost some posts go the north but the truth remains that the success of the south was not from politics, a good example will be the ibo man who never been in power since independence but has secured a strong niche for himself and based all over the world.

Nope. It is not that simple. What is simple as ABC is that most of you guys are challenged and can't really understand issues in a broader context.

If this your reasoning is relevant to all violent situation, then, no boko haram should ever be killed without trial.


About Fulani: It would be disastrous for any president to order a shoot to kill on a fight that's not one sided. We would lose too much people on both sides.
