It is really pathetic how violence and deaths engulfed the southern part of Nigeria during the just concluded presidential that saw the incumbent president being re-elected.

However, in the Northern part of Nigeria, where the two presidential candidates emerged from, no single case of violence was reported, not even a scratch on someone's skin.

It is disheartening how some politicians in the south resorted to killing their own people with the use of political thugs and suspected armed uniformed men.

The election has been concluded and the winner has emerged, so at this point, reflecting on the lifes that were lost and the violence that took place in the south coupled with accusation of election rigging and sabotage of election materials to the stronghold of the opposition party and an allegation in some quarters that the Independence National Electoral Commission (INEC) aided the ruling party in winning this election.

The questions are:
(1) Is it still necessary for the southerners to vote in this next Gubernatorial Election?

(2) How many more violences and killings should we expect in the next election.

(3.) Will people's vote still count?

(4.) The politicians especially those in the south, are they sober or happy with the violence and killings in their zone.
