Only A Barbarian Will Support The Killing Of Anyone Over Ballot Box Snatching by gidgiddy: 8:51am On Feb 19, 2019
There's is a reason why much of the West and the international community still think that much of black Africa is a land of savages and barbarians.

Life is the most precious thing on Earth, it is not something that is destroyed over light and transient issues. If a person is to be killed, it must be over serious and weighty issue(s)

But Africans act as if life is something you can throw away and get back any time. Life is cheap and has no value in Africa. A Country with no value for human life is a country heading no where.

Buhari's human rights record is a terrible one. Under his watch, hundreds, if not thousands of unarmed Shittes/IPOB have been killed by the security forces. The only people who care are the affected and the international community. The average Nigerian has no value for human life except his own and that of his family. Buhari has again empowered his security forces to use brutal force on election day against at anyone snatching ballot box. Buhari could have said that anyone caught snatching the ballot box should be arrested and prosecuted. But to encourage brutal force on election day, in front of foreign observers and the electorate can only be done by a man that has lost touch with reality, a barbarian.

Ballot box snatching is terrible, but not terrible enough to kill people. It is not terrible enough to risk the life of the electorate who could be hit by a stray bullet in a crowded polling booth. All civilised people who recognise the sanctity of human life should condemn Buhari for his lack of any sense of the rule of law.

Its an irresponsible statement in my own opinion, we have no business with elections talke more of asking us to shoot ballot box snatchers.He has only put COs and OCs in pressure.

Ballot snatching is like armed robbery.

Only Barbarians will support ballot box snatchers and thugs for not allowing the peoples votes to count, if there is civil and peaceful elections, there will be not ballot box snatching, so let's do the right things and don't encourage election cheaters and law breakers

Nobody is supporting ballot box snatching. What we are saying is that ballot box snatching does not merit "shoot to kill" and anyone who thinks it does is a barbarian for having such little value for human life.

it seems you've not experience it before. Ballot snatchers come with dangerous weapons and they do come in groups.. Only one man or two will snatch the box, the rest Will engage those who want to resist. grin it is not a one man thing...

Armed robber will steal and maybe kill less than 1000 people in his reign.
The politicians have reduced the lives of over 180 million Nigerian people to the gutter and grave.
Great evil should be met with greater resistance.
That is my message to you. My message to Nigerians.
Don't snatch a ballot box expecting to be served coffee at the police station because your benefactor has influence.
Get your judgement instantly.
I'm with PMB 100% on this.

Plus, most would be ballot box snatchers are well armed and our security forces must be prepared to engage them if that is the only way to neutralise their threat. That is not to say that I support extrajudicial killings, but if that is the only way to neutralise their threat , then so be it

Snatch and die! You cant come and steal my future away just like that. Whatever happens will determine a lot in the people a lives. PMB wants you to vote who you want! To a larger extent this votes are actually going to count , we need to remove a lot of people from this govt.

Guy, if and only if the security personnel can be neutral, death for ballot box snatching is not a bad thing.
The will of the people should supersede the evil of the few undesirable elements.

Only an idiot would not see ballot box snatching as a threat to our democracy and therefore a threat to national security - for which death is a legitimate price to pay.

Existing laws against election malpractice are currently too weak as deterrents; the death penalty should be in place against such enemies of the state.

I can't imagine how some ppl could condone the suffering of millions of Nigerians who queuing up for hours in the sun to vote; only for a few greedy politicians to render entire process meaningless - and still pretend we are practising a democracy.

Sometimes in the fight against corruption you cannot afford to follow due process.

Don't you see that if government starts to follow what you write above, they will become as lawless as those they are fighting? If government starts ignore the constitution, ignore due process, impose "shoot to kill" where it likes that means there is no rule of law anywhere, but government and citizens.

International observers are flying in all over the world, what if a stray bullet hits one of them or an innocent voter in the course of chasing ballot box snatchers? You will tell these people you use gun to enforce electoral law? How can ballot box snatching merit death? There are far worse crimes than that are punished with prison sentence. Even manslaughter doesn't carry death penalty


But the worst thing of all which people miss is that we have a President showed on this matter that he is a man who neither cares about the rule of law, human rights or the sanctity of human life

Please ignore all I have said even though my position hasn't changed.
The reality is that the senior advocates in Aso rock has explained to the president that:
Sec 33 of the 1999 constitution which guarantees your fundamental human rights as a Nigerian comes with exceptions which includes:
- defence of any person from unlawful violence or for the defence of property
- in order to effect a lawful arrest...
- suppressing a riot, insurrection or mutiny.

Watch Kiyamo Vs Dino on Channels TV to get the full gist.

If you die, na saara o. They have proper constitutional powers to kill you summarily for violence or theft associated with ballot snatching.
The living may not know who wins in your arguement with your fellow "gone too soon" in hell fire about PMB's statement validity if you choose to be unwise.
