Before you all start claiming her, she wasn't even home bred. She schooled / lived in New Jersey. You see, God has endowed us, but we fail to nurture,

hillsate:
From all indications so far and the CPC shooting herself on the leg, it will be very difficult for CPC to capture kaduna. The candidate the CPC is fielding is from southern kaduna too same as the governor and there were texts messages purportedly sent by the MUSLIM UMMA urging fellow muslims not to vote for the CPC candidate even though being a muslim he's not a hausa muslim but from southern kaduna. They as the text carried urged their members to vote for the ANPP candidate instead. Now this is already causing confusion. Also with the upturn of events in kano where it was thot the CPC would win but didnt rather the PDP, the kaduna people may have a rethink to vote in CPC. Dont also forget that it would be a disgrace to Namadi Sambo if kaduna does not go the PDP way so am sure high level consultation would have taken place which should usher in the PDP. I am not sure kaduna people wouldnt want to loose the extra attention it would get from the Federal Govt by going the PDP way. Everyone knows today that the CPC as a party is only waiting for the burial rights to be performed on her. The party is already dead.

That is the handiwork of PDP, sending text messages and pretending that they are from CPC members, did the so called MUSLIM UMMAH suddenly wake up and realise Saeed Haruna is from Southern Kaduna. He is a public figure and where He comes from exactly is not unknown to the najority of the people in the state or the CPC cheiftains. This was a cheap propanganda from either ACN or PDP, you should see how people are jubiliating for the CPC victory, even though not official. It is in the air that CPC has won

kobikwelu:
on paper , a well thought out idea,
but in reality a disaster waiting to happen,
unless

the cbn puts the neccesary infrastructures in place

and as some! rightly pointed out, there should be incentives for cashless transactions, not the other way round,

Look, we have got one year to make this work; why are we so pessimistic I thought we wanted to move along with the developed world.Without strict regulations people wouldn't accept change. I am sure banks and smart guys in the corporate world are already thinking of how to provide portable payment solutions to wide variety of customers. This can surely work and I believe it will work and it will also curb looting.

All that incentives stuff, is nothing but taking peter's money to pay paul. If incentives are given to cashless transactions who bears the cost of those incentives Perhaps the guy doing a cash transaction.

hercules07:
I try as much as possible to limit my transactions to the cashless one, I pay for children school fees via cheques, I do transfers from accounts to accounts, paying for anything above 150K should be by other means, the guys that will be most affected will always find solutions to their problems, this directive will force the service providers to upgrade their network for better service knowing fully well that there is a killing to be made here, I believe it is a good idea.

Fantastic idea. In fact I am beginning to think of how one can quickly key into this opportunity. My son's school wouldn't even accept cash. I can't even remember paying anyone cash of recent, it has all been through electronic cash transfer.

macjive01:
THIS IS MADNESS

how on earth does Sanusi expect a car dealer to sell this car?
card ?, cheque?

card- needs electricity and internet to function, these two we don't have adequately in the country.  

cheque- tell me who wud accept a cheque from a stranger? a total stranger?

so a cement dealer who makes 400,000 in a day wud not have the means to savely deposit his money in a bank, right?

i dont know why hausa's always think so miniature. apparently he thinks no one shd be making more than 150,000 a day.

i bet some the banks wud run out of cash and go belle up soon since fewer deposits are now being made.

This is what they say about the education system in Nigeria. Rather than read carefully and look for alternative sources of the story to fully grasp the intents of the CBN, people like you have jumped on it because your mind has been hard-coded to hate Hausa and anything that comes from them.

I bet you didn't even think before jumping to your obnoxious response. The decision was not taken by Sanusi alone, and the policy would only be taking effect as from june 2012, and for me it means we have a CBN that is thinking, they have given a year for us and the system to adjust to the new upcoming change in the way we do transactions.And do note that the limitations do apply to cash withdrawal / lodgement only and not electronic. You can do a bank transfer and use cheque.

In case your banks are still living in the past or may be you are still living in the past, you can talk to your bank on the available alternatives to transfer money electronically. With GT Bank you can just fill a fund xfer form or do it online and with intercontinental you can do it in the confines of your home with just your phone to any bank account. As for the cement seller, they have just got to step up, if you are dealing with such volume of cash daily then you have to step up to better ways of doing things, that is what is called GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT

Rather than mentioning names to be arrested, I think GEJ should simply have been given the task to bring the perpetrators to justice. Get the police and SSS to investigate and try the culprits in court. I think that is the constitutional means of bringing people to justice. Instead of sitting in our homes and guessing or just believing the perpetrators are XYZ, we should put the Government on pressure to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Funny country with confused people. Little do you guys know that IBB has Oilwells licensed to him, neither OBJ nor Yar'adua refused to renew the licence, and as far as I know GEJ has no plans of withdrawing or not renewing the licence. It is a caucus, and in the caucus their are no tribes but only caucus members; now GEJ, SAMBO have joined the caucus of oil-well owners, and they are probably competing with each other in terms of wealth while you guys can just be killing yourselves over them, they will continue to assist each other in getting richer and richer

klear:
May God bless him. I'v met liberal Muslims ( very nice, homely, honest & good) & I'v also seen d wild eyed types who will not think twice b4 chopping your head off, bt d tin is this; we have extremists n every religion who r fueled wit hatred, ignorance, illiteracy & poverty. It gets more dangerous & d problem reaches a terrifying level when you have dia custodians not doing shiit 2 curtail, educate & enlighten dia people & dat is d problem wit d religious fanatics we have n d north.

It takes a lot to do what this man did, those angry youths have no mercy on anyone, even their parents, they threaten to slash their stomach open at the slightest provocation, they are drug addicts/users. They only use islam as an excuse to achieve their aim of stealing and also to venge their frustration.But I blame their parents, parentage in the north is very weak, children are left to fend for themselves at a very little age, they exposed to the outside world at a tender age, and it hardens them, they get cheated, abused and oppressed, and in return they become fearless and obnoxious.

There are many who have saved xtian lives while risking theirs. Most of the ordinary Hausa man I see everyday abhors what happened, they are embarassed by it. But what makes matters worse is the media, whether they don't conduct investigations or they just choose to be one-sided. I live in Kaduna and can say I have witnessed some of the carnage live.

The problem started from the Hausas, and sincerely it started by CPC sympathizers (Hausas) attacking PDP supporters (whom are also Hausas),and this included burning the homes of their own emirs but things got out of hand and some churches were attacked in some places (Kawo to be precise), in reaction the southern-kaduna indigenes (whom are predominantly xtians and non-hausas) went wild. They brought down every mosque and killed perhaps every Hausa they came across. They mounted a road block on the road linking Abuja to Kaduna, and stopped every vehicle bringing out any Hausa they see and killing him, burnt every vehicle / shop/ mosques along the exit of Kaduna-Abuja road. Sincerely speaking for Kaduna alone, this was not limited to hausas in some areas as known yoruba muslims were also attacked, infact a story was narrated to me by a christian friend whom tried all He could to protect his yoruba neighbours but was unsuccessful. They ended burning their homes but their life was spared on the insistence by my christian colleague that they should kill him instead. In Zonkwa (a xtian dominated village area in Kaduna) things were terrible, they massacred a lot of Fulanis/Hausas. I am not trying to play the blame game here, because Hausa-Muslims also attacked xtian home whom they can reach, but from what I have seen not at the same scale. I am only irritated that all sides of the stories are never told, how do you expect this people to ill, how do you expect them to forgive, if no one hears/listens or talks about their predicament, if people don't sympathise with them. I am saying this because the nature of the fulani man is well known here, He will never forget and He could retaliate, this is similar to what happened in jos.

The fulani man (referring mainly to the cattle rearers) is different from the Hausa man, He is mainly a traditionalist unlike what most southerners think that they are muslims. If anyone has ever heard of the real life tales of what happened in some jos villages, then He would be aware of their ability to be invisible and attack.
It is never okay for any tribe or group of people to kill others unjustly either it be Hausa killing non-hausa or Non-Hausa killing Hausa, it is never okay, we must condemn all attrocities from all sides, if we want all sides to ill and forgive.

Look my friend the fact that Sanusi is from the North does not naturally imply He is there for an ulterior motive, stop this useless tribalism; everything the man has done has turned out to be correct. Ibru / Akingbola are rogues, why are some of us trying to look away and play one useless ethnic card. There is no reason to suspect Sanusi, so stop creating one from a figment of your imagination.

Every leader has his own preference and naturally people are closer and trust their kinsmen more. GEJ removed Dambazau (Northerner) and put in an Igbo man, He removed a northerner in NNPC and replaced him with alison Maduekwe (southerner), there are so many examples. As a leader you need ppl. you trust around you and as long as they get the job done, I don't think we should worry much

Me_Aboki:
Please show me where I condoned or justified the violence in any of my posts.

However, I do recall having considered offering an apology to NLders for the action of my people, but thought otherwise because I deemed majority of the respondents unreasonable considering the level of insults and bigotry displayed.

You continue to 'fall my hand'.
Just after referring to the various definition of illiteracy, as you rightly pointed out, you still retrogressed back against your definition (no2) by still maintaining that those Almajiris had no education - as to say Islam/Quaranic education is not a form of education in its own right.

Are you by any chance suggesting that those boys are not taught how to read and write, and because they are taught in Arabic, hence they are illiterate?
You even went on to confirm that assumption by suggesting that anybody in Nigeria that cannot communicate in English should be considered illiterate.

Well, holy Moses! just how daft can you be? So a French man in Nigeria who cannot read or write in English, though literate in his or other language, by your definition should be considered illiterate.
You seem to confuse English as language and education as a formal process of acquiring Knowledge; while assuming Western education is the only existing form of education.
My friend, you strike me as someone who is educated but seemingly incapable of mental dexterity and logical reasoning; in fact somebody good at memorising and used to solving problems from memorised formulae, but easily unstuck should the same problem reappear in a slightly different form because of a rigid mindset - for goodness sake, please get a grip.  

I concede to you that those Almajiris and a significant number of my people do not have Western education but they are by no means a bunch of illiterates.
In fact when your forefathers were still in the jungle unable read or write mine could, in Arabic/Hausa transliteration using Arabic symbols (the first written indigenous language in Nigeria/West Africa) - the main reason for Arabic writing in our currency and military insignia (http://www.gamji.com/nowa/nowa104.htm)

BTW, name any among the past Northern leaders who according to above definitions could be deemed illiterate.

Yes, Nigeria's problem is a simplistic one (tell me why it has to be complicated); you mentioned power and infrastructure, I say to you remove corruption and we will have all of that and more - how else has money earmarked for them found its way into personal bank accounts and lining pockets?

You mentioned Sharia, so how has Sharia deprived you of your fundamental human rights?
Last time I checked, I believe the Nigerian constitution guarantees every citizen freedom of religion. Muslims are guided by Islamic law of which Sharia is a fundamental part of their belief system as defined by their religion.

Are you therefore suggesting that Muslims in Nigeria should be deprived of their right to fully practice their religion, simply because you disapprove and  because it is not your faith?
In other words, Muslims should be supp ressed; well hell no, thank you sir - not even Jonathan can take that right away.

@Aboki, in as much you have some points, I don't think this is the moment for us to defend ourselves.You should have offered the apology. Really what do you expect the southerners to think, we had an history of violence and instead of trying to prove our critics wrong we are confirming their theories. Just because we lost an election either by rigging or not is not enough excuse for what happened.We should channel our energy towards condemning this act instead of trying to explain it, and we should also be ready to receive the bashing from xtians/Southerners, because we brought it upon ourselves.

ARES:
This is the only positive from this riots. In Bauchi, Gombe and Kano the youths knew what they were doing and they were not attacking innocents. they had an objective and they executed it.- LAGOSBOY


@ LAGOSBOY: DID YOU FELL AND BUMP YOUR HEAD ON A ROCK?  THOSE BASTARDS SLICED MY FRIEND'S THROAT AND SET HIM ABLAZE,  HE WAS NOT A POLITICIAN, HE MADE 9750 A MONTH TO SERVE THIS PATHETIC UNION WE HAVE WITH THESE GOD FORSAKEN NORMADS, HE WAS A GOOD LAD ABOUT TO PASS OUT FROM NYSC,  AND YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WERE NOT ATTACKING INNOCENTS?,  THE CHURCHES THAT THEY BURNT, DID IT HAVE ANY LOGO OF RED, GREEN AND WHITE UMBRELLA OR WAS THERE A BANNER SAYING ANTI BUHARI IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH?

@ POSTER
YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF BECAUSE IT WILL NOT EVEN BEGIN TO QUANTIFY THE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU AND YOUR TRIBE ARE.
YOU SHOULD JUMP OFF THE ROOF OF A HIGH RISING AND SLICE YOUR THROAT WHILE YOU ARE ARE IT,  I CANT BELIEVE I CALL MY SELF A NIGERIAN WHEN THERE ARE ANIMAL LIKE CREATURES LIKE YOU CLAIMING THE SAME THING

I understand how you feel, and you have every right to feel the way you do. I can't even find words to pacify you. Casualties of this stupidity is unquantifiable. And believe me it is on both sides; even though we can't remove the fact that the Hausa's started it, the casualities on both sides were huge. It was a race between who would kill more and wreck more havoc than the other. Speaking from Kaduna experience. But Please I am calling out to everyone, to please be mindful of their words for the interest of those of us living in the North, pls. lets keep inflammatory comments away because they will do know good. It is time to start healing and reconciling. We here are all doing what we can to conceal the enormity of casuality on both sides, because if either side gets to think that they suffered more than the other, the crisis will start again.This is Kaduna for you.

Sagamite:
GBAM!

andromida:
The truth is that the Northern Nigeria will continue like this anytime thay want to make a protest because the real criminals get away. BB were already saying the North will be wild if bb does not win IMO this are the people we should hold responsible.Did you see the young kids caught during the protest alot of them were under fifteen, homeless, uneducated and feel they have nothing to live for with the believe that if they kill some xtians they are going to spend eternity with 20 virgins. If you were in their shoes you may have done same.

The blame goes to leadership at every level in Northern Nigeria. everybody knows how these children end up becoming beggars nobody does anything about it. The only use Buhari has for them is to be shouting sai Buhari. Now that is happening we are discussing it tomorrow we will all forget this ever happened and everything will go back to business as usual the hungry kids littering the streets with no hope and being available for the next protest.

The real problem is clear leadership, leadership that is not hinged on religion alone, leadership that seeks to improve the lot of the poorest in the society. This is the real problem in the North. what or how has any of their leaders tried to erase the almajiri system.

Let me first reiterate the poster's essence. I feel very ashamed of what has happened and it is despicable. I am not Hausa but associate myself with them a lot and I live in the north, Kaduna to be precise. I witnessed this mayhem firsthand although I live in an elite's area hence we didn't feel the effect much, but one of the Hausa-Muslim PDP Politician's house in my area was vandalised and his cars were burnt. These actions are inexcusable, I blame the whole community. I was in a state of shock when I saw the very little kids that were carrying out this mayhem, they were as young as 5 years old,for them they were just having fun, it was like an aluta thing; of course at the time of the rage, no one dared to cross their path, but after the whole saga I still saw them walking around looking innocent and oblivious of the greatness of the calamity they have caused.But again to my surprise no one dared question them, I don't know if it was fear or what, everyone was barely just pointing. I felt pissed, I felt like lining them up and giving them the beating of their life, but then i know if they would be another crisis I would be the number one target.

While we all stood outside in fear and shock, discussing the incidence. One of my friends(An Hausa guy), said exactly what the poster just said ", very soon if people ask me if I am Hausa, I will tell them No I am not, ", He then went on to remind us of what one of his professor's told him, that the crisis we see in the north is the crisis between the rich and the poor, the oppressor and the oppressed. Then it occurred to me, that all those boys who came to unleash this mayhem, were not from our immediate neighbourhood but from the surrounding ghetto, all their lives they had probably be looking at this rich men enjoying so much wealth, driving fantastic cars, living in magnificient houses while they just a few metres away from them are wallowing in poverty, they had been sowing the hatred. But still this excuses are not good enough. The Hausa community needs to check herself, it is better that some of the Hausa elites themselves were hit, this way they would realise how much they themselves have allowed decadence to thrive in their own society.

I'll end by calling out to my Hausa brothers, to stop being cowards and come out openly to condemn these acts, lets stop being sentimental; I have heard friends trying to justify that they had no intentions of attacking xtians and burning churches, that it was the area boys that did all that on their own volition; they claim they were only after the evil people (PDP members), but this is are at best rubbish excuses. No body has any right to attack anyone, since the day we signed up for this democracy we knew it was a win some lose some game. Lastly, I will like to call on our xtain and southern Kaduna brothers to also temper justice with mercy, even though they are lucky they never get the spotlight for the attrocities they commit in the name of retaliation, i will call on them to sheath their swords too.Enough Mosques/Church have been burnt, enough friends, neighbours and colleagues have been killed, it is time to end this hatred between ourselves.

Lastly it isn't true that anyone is killing because of 20 virgins, because these people carrying out these mayhem mostly don't even know how to read the Quran, they mostly don't even know about the verse that talks about the , virgins; they are people whom have been dehumanised from childhood, they have known nothing but hardship, they have known to survive through cruelty, they have been exploited from birth by so called Alfas that don't teach them anything, but use them as beggars so as to feed his own family.But again I blame the community, they turned a blind eye to all these ills and perhaps it is better if it starts hunting them.

A whole local Government invalidated in Kano because of non-compliance. Thank God for JEGA, the issue was openly explained and dealt with. This is lovely, America will need to copy this from us

aletheia:
^This only highlights the fact that the rest of the country decided to punish the "Born to Rule" mentality of Ciroma and co. 
If Buhari had won: how do you think dem Ciroma will be feeling?

Some of you really don't understand Nigerian politics, it would be easier for Ciroma, IBB, ATIKU, and other big northern politicians to thrive under GEJ than under Buhari. PDP is a caucus of Northern, eastern and western Nigerian thieves.So if you think you have voted out the northern PDP caucus, then you are mistaken you just voted them back into power.

I won't file for divorce but really I won't find it funny at all, but i don't think it can be possible for him to get 1 in his own polling unit.

bisiaet:
I think you better ask you fellow Northerners to give you answer to all you said. Nobody hate the North but the North created the scene by themselves because manipulation, greediness, power hungry, the language of North "MUST" be president is damn too annoying and to cap it all millions of other tribes including myself were so mad and angry with all what the North did during Yar'dua saga it is so annoying to be frank that alone pissed me off totally to the point I sworn not to ever cast my vote for any Northerner again and never. So brother ask your people to check themselves because people are really angry with them take this as a fact. Though it may sound somehoe but the truth is bitter and that is the truth.

Don't worry Ibrahim Nigerians will learn, just tell your people to be patient. The hatred will gradually die off, when people see they have been very myopic in their view. A few PDP northerners can't be used to judge the whole north. We see from the results coming from the North, that they don't have as much hatred in their heart, Goodluck Jonathan is actually doing very well in the north, He has got a fair support. Same can not be said for Buhari in the south.

Guys, you need to contact some corpers if you know any to tell you about how the election went at their end, I just called my in law in akwa-ibom, and He said in the village where He was posted to conduct the election, that only about 5-4 people thumb printed about 600 ballot papers he had, they had told him ahead that they are going to vote PDP in their village and He should just co-operate, He also added that the people were warning themselves that the same thing will not repeat itself for the Governorship election, that they are only allowing it for the presidential.

I hope this was not the case in many places, because this can easily be proved, all they need is to take hundred samples and check how many has same finger prints.

mecussey:
I went to the poll to vote and they told me that they have already voted for me; I just could not ask more questions I turned back because, I never wanted to go to any poll if not for GEJ

I sincerely hope this is a joke!

Evil Brain:
I don't agree with all that Okrika nonsense but those results are seriously fishy. Those people might have shot themselves in the foot with their mass thumbprinting. If Buhari can get 1 or 2 states over there cancelled at the tribunal, we'll be singing a completely different song.

Jonathan took money from the Oil companies and he owes the PDP thieves big time. These are serious people who don't play around with their money. They will get a return on their investment whether Goodluck likes it or not.

The Nigerian people have just shown that you can kick them for 12 years and they'll still vote for you as long as you smile a little and go to redemption camp before elections. I doubt if Jonathan will hesitate to screw them once the mafia start breathing down his neck.

Without any bias massive rigging must have occurred in the south-east, how possible is it that about 80-90% of registered voters actually voted. This is ridiculous

Princek12:
passy jango,

Apparently in Nigeria you need magic to solve the electricity crisis. It has not been solved, as Nigerians have no stable power. Do you even care whether Nigeria has stable electricity? And if you did care, what did your Buhari candidate propose as to how he would solve the electricity crisis? Do you even know Buhari had any proposal? Probably not. Some higher authority probably instructed you to vote for Buhari, and you just obeyed them just like 99.9% of Buhari supporters did. They cannot state a single, substantive reason as to why they support Buhari.

your argument is terribly weak, if we were to use your logic then GEJ actually has no business winning any vote, Buhari promised to reform PHCN, but GEJ and his party have also promised but have since failed. Even the purported solution by GEJ is thrash, why must NEPA be privatised Tinubu gave us the solution 6 years back, open up the power industry, so that private investors can come in, Enron was going to do that with Lagos, but PDP/Obasanjo frustrated it. NITEL/MTEL existed alongside MTN, ECONET & GLO, but because of the ineptitude of the PDP/Obasanjo Government NITEL collapsed while the private telecos thrived immensely.

passyjango:
I will leave it to posterity to judge who the fools are. After all there was a time when pro-slavery parties were supported by the majority in the west. Today no party will win an election on pro-slavery sentiment. I am not expecting any magic, you do not need magic to provide electricity or build the Benin Ore express road. Or are you asking me to build the road with my money while GEJ and his friends help themselves with our collective wealth. It is probably because of people like you that we have irresponsible leaders.

The same is applicable to Pro-GEJ supporters, ask them why they are voting for GEJ, and they suddenly get startled. Really this election was won and lost on sentimental grounds for both sides.

muami:
They are already crying.Just go to Buhari4change facebook page and you would hear multi-dimensional crying.

I am glad I stood at the right side of the history being made today.Nigeria would definitely be great again

Lets be mature and not steer up unnecessary anger, all the contestants have the right to vote and be voted for; and all Nigerians have the right to vote for who they wish. No point insulting or taunting anybody. Lets all behave maturely

INEC on recess, results still being verified and would be announced in about 30 minutes
for OGUN, FCT & ENUGU:
PDP:1364765
CPC:152983

It should be noted that PDP made the 25% requirement in the 3 states above, but CPC met the 25% requirement in only FCT (i.e one in three)
