What an ungovernable bunch - Asking a newly democratically elected president to unleash the Army on these rascals.

Do you guys even think of consequences, contagion and worst case scenarios?

Prof JYK:
Do u Hate GEJ or do u hate PDP. either of the above, it is a pity u are not in the majority who voted albiet it the wrong candidate, but the best, in a widely acclaimed free and fair election. do u think it is fair to rejoice in the middle of blood shed just to proove he is spineless? the people's votes have spoken, they want him. cant we all just join hands and move this forward. if u have a problem with the electoral process, then address the right people.
NLnaders have tried talking sense into u but u choose not just to ignore them as any wise person would do, but to engage in childish name calling all to show an absurd addiction to HIGH SCHOOL MOVIES. Well i blame MTV

Arosa:
I think GEJ should reach out to these amagiris through BBC Hausa. He is the president of the whole Nigeria they might listen and be sensible.  

kcjazz:
Buhari's influence in the North is sometimes over rated. This folks voted for PDP just last week and no violence of this magnitude. Even I suspected violence if the results don't go to him, [size=18pt]GEJ has security reports and should have put in measures to quell any violence. It is what governments do and it is his responsibility[/size]. Simple!

ayusco:
i must say i'm disappointed in alot of comments by posters whose views i respect. dk & kobokunjie i understand and respect your not liking gej but abusing him for asking a candidate to cool the temper of his suppourters(over whom he has a large influence) is abit much. if police & army are sent to quell the riots in the north we all know people will die from there shyte escalates. what he did is not shirking responsibility but a leader trying to maturely resolve the situation. if he behaved like some dictators he would have charged buhari with incitement and tossed his behind in jail

PapaBrowne:
I have never known you to be pathetically unintelligent, but I'm beginning to see U in that light!!

FYI, the military is already on ground in these areas curtailing the violence.  One way to get the violence down is by asking Buhari to prevail on his supporters. And thats what the president has done.
Diplomacy comes first. Its only when it fails that force comes in.

Only a fool would take actions9such as you've suggested) that would lead to an escalation of violence, a potential coup and a potential civil war. And surely, the president is no fool, hence his actions are well calculated.

Your hatred for the president is surely making you sound like a below average, no nothing fella and I'm pretty sure you are not one!!

Iraqi officials say President Saddam Hussein has won 100% backing in a referendum on whether he should rule for another seven years.
There were 11,445,638 eligible voters - and every one of them voted for the president, according to Izzat Ibrahim, Vice-Chairman of Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council.



Not a very serious day, not a very serious vote and nobody places any credibility on it

Ari Fleischer,
White House spokesman
The government insists the count was fair and accurate.

Saddam Hussein - who has ruled Iraq since 1979 - was the only candidate.

Voters had been urged to show their support for the Iraqi leader in defiance of the demands for military action against him from the US and Britain.

During polling, many voters trampled American flags and some signed their ballot-papers in their own blood in a display of loyalty to their leader.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak won the country's first contested presidential race, according to a preliminary count Thursday, an expected victory in a vote that was crucial to his claims of democratic reform but was marred by allegations of irregularities, AP reported.

Mubarak took 78 percent to 80 percent of Wednesday's polling and opposition candidate Ayman Nour took 12 percent — a respectable showing for a relative unknown and one that could propel him to greater political prominence

mikeansy:
There is nothing wrong with the statement above.

It is measured and calculated.

If Buhari was grown up enough to accept his clear defeat, there wont be all this rancour.

Goodluck Jonathan would have certainly instructed security forces to try to contain the violence, more force may be needed later but for now the statement is in order.

I only hope he made the statement himself on live TV. That is what a C-in-C does.

Eziachi:
I never in my wildest dreams ever to think that Goodluck Jonathan will be this popular in Nigeria than Chief M.K.O ABIOLA, especially in the North, even the farthest/extreme north like Katsina and Sokoto.
NIGERIA, when you thought you knew her,ego de teach you lesson.

Odunnu:
