What we need from people like Soyinka is a clear steer on how to permanently fix the problems of killings in the North. that is how to achieve sustainable peace. The killings will continue at the next 'provocation', you'll see.

You need to learn from a smart Igbo man how not to run your mouth.

Don't feel important based on tribal achievement.

Feel important based on personal achievement.

If you had any, you will hardly feel the need to publicly declare achievement by ethnic affiliation and think you are better than someone with a different ethnic affiliation.

KADUNA, Nigeria, April 22 (Reuters) - At least two suspected bomb-makers were killed in a blast in Kaduna in northern Nigeria on Saturday, a city at the centre of post-election violence in which hundreds of people are thought to have died this week.

A security source said the men were believed to be trying to assemble an explosive device when it went off, killing at least two of them in a building situated close to a residential neighbourhood for members of local government.

"Emergency response agencies have already moved to the scene and have cordoned off the area to protect life and property," said Yushua Shuaib of the National Emergency Management Agency.

. . .

Nigerian security forces were on high alert Friday ahead of next week's state governors' polls after an explosion of deadly unrest following President Goodluck Jonathan's vote win last weekend.
A Nigerian rights group, Civil Rights Congress, has put the death toll at 246 based on what it says are reports from a network of coordinators, though officials have declined to verify any figures.
"There are tales of continued attacks in rural areas because the policing is concentrated in the urban centres, while rural areas are vulnerable," said Shehu Sani, the head of the organisation.

. . .

A Red Cross official also spoke of a "disturbing" situation in the south of Kaduna state, where heavy clashes had broken out between Christians and Muslims earlier in the week that police were unable to control.
Kaduna state, from where Vice President Namadi Sambo hails, is majority Muslim, but parts of its south are mainly Christian.
A community leader from the south of Kaduna has said "the killing was unbelievable and the destruction is colossal."

[size=16pt]OTP Statement on Electoral Violence in Nigeria[/size]

The Office of the Prosecutor is closely following on the situation in Nigeria and is concerned with the outbreak of violence surrounding the National Assembly and Presidential elections of April 2011.
In the context of its on-going preliminary examination activities, the Office will seek to establish whether the recent violence may have been planned and organized and whether crimes falling within the Court’s jurisdiction may have been committed.
The Office is mindful that the upcoming governorship elections on 26 April could lead to further violence. Prosecutor Moreno-Ocampo stated. “Those who commit atrocities to gain power will be held to account”. The Office of the Prosecutor welcomes Nigeria’s political leaders’ call on their supporters to show restraint and avoid unrest. In accordance with the complementarity principle, the Office will, in the first place, support national investigations into the violence and its perpetrators.

The Nigerian Army and police have enough machine guns to mow down the hoodlums, but they failed to do so. The first thing to do is to use tear gas or nerve gas and if they donlt stop, gun down everyone of them. Then chase and kill them even if they run into their mosques, don't spare anyone of them. Na gwo de everybody and others will never dare it again.

I do not support the killing that have taking place mostly in the North, but you guys should not act as if it would not have still happened if the reverse was the case.
