My point is we have a government whose primary duty is to protect you and I from attacks of violent people, and also is responsible to ensure that criminals are brought to justice. Who is incharge? Under APC government you will be protected whether christian or muslim.

Vote Buhari

What is view about bringing solider for election like it was done in Osun, Ekiti and others? Weren't APC against such move and calling it militarization of election? APC should not wait until they come to power before they can condemn and caution their violent members. We don't allow election violence to get foothold in Nigeria, we must stop it now, even if APC win this election, they should focus on important issues in Nigeria not fighting violence that ordinarily should never have happen in the first place.

Both PDP and APC are guilty of the same crime and i'm concerned about Nigerians defending them. Nobody from PDP or presidency said a word about the PH shooting, this is just a testing ground, just imagine what will come after the election. Must people be killed to show how incompetent this government is? We are talking about France, the whole country united, here we are already looking for who to blame. We see everything as a means to score ship political point, even if it means ending the lives of innocent and poor citizens.

People might want change, but we must be alive to witness the change! Killing innocent people will not change this government, if it would have, Boko haram would have succeeded.

I'm not surprised at all. APC supporters up north are known to be aggressive and hostile - speaking as someone who has lived in d north.

I was told may times here, how Plateau, Nasarawa or Kogi is no longer part north, rather our twin brothers.
Make up your minds.

No mata wht dey do,GEJ is unstopable...come vals day many pple go peel out....

I've learned to take news on Nairaland with a huge spoonful of salt. Unfortunately, a great number of people actually take it at face value.

How many Nairalanders still think "nanosilver" was invented by an imaginary "Nigerian in the diaspora" when it was revealed to be a quack American company who successfully scammed (or colluded with) the Nigerian Minister of Health, despite the warnings of the American Food and Drug Administration AND the World Health Organization?

How many of my cousins actually asked me if Obama implanted a microchip in my body? (This was before I started reading Nairaland--I thought they were joking, but they weren't.)

How many Nairalanders believe Bill Gates attributed the reduction in polio cases to the Nigerian Federal Government, thanks to these lame mods? When in fact, he said nothing of the kind, because it's blatantly false.

There was a thread that the name of the House Speaker Aminu Tambuwal was removed from the House of Assembly website. More than one person pointed out that the website address given in the article was invalid and posted screenshots showing that his name and profile was not removed.


Those are just the ones I personally witnessed and can remember. This website is no better than a secondary school bathroom wall.

You know what pains me most about this all?

We should be a voice of wisdom and logic but s.eun throws all that out with his stupidity. I have never seen someone with a power to do something positive but goes on and does otherwise. Shows you that the black man does not have a conscience.

The ignorant southern youths think Buhari is the messiah and I laugh. 97% of ignorant southern youths who support Buhari would leave him the day they witness his campaign in the north with weapons displayed freely by his supporters. It's useless arguing with the ignorant. The perpetrators of this evil have full backing of Buhari.

tru talk...
They r really ignorant.. They keep sayin no sentiments.. But the supporter over here in d north dont care.. They are sentimental.. And violent.. Campainge rally lyk crises.. God help us..

No, GEJ is not in trouble, it is innocent people like you and me that is in trouble.. GEJ wasn't in the bus that was set ablaze, GEJ wasn't killed in 2011 post-election violence. You may smile now but remember those killed are not politicians but innocent peole like you and me.

PRECISELY...that is why this despicable act must stop.

This is wrong and should be condemned. But then, would you blame them? These people are being killed everyday. Look the number of internally displaced persons? They can't go to school, work or business, and the president does not seem to care.

I really A̶̲̥̅♏ amazed at you, isn't it practically clear to you that this guyz still believe in d old ideology of ANPP and CPC? Wher would this happen in the south, or is it only the north tha has high rate of unemployment. Look how u attribute everything to govt, cuz of over dependence on govt. An average southern man was busy wen dis whole crap was going on. Wake up kid, dis is d carryover of 2011 pre and post election violence always orchestrated by Buhari's sympathizers. #fact

Good one on APC and GMB for condemning this act of violence, more need to be done across the party to prevent such happening in the first place, I don't give a damn who win the election but I don't want to get killed because of some politician who I know nothing about. Don't see it as a political point or rejoice when a citizen like you is killed, don't join the violence. If you desire change, get your PVC, organize people to get their PVC and vote the candidate of your choice while allowing others to do same. Win them with superior argument bot with superior violence

The job of SecurÍty Agencies during election is to ensure law and order and not intimidate opposition party like what we saw in Ekiti and Osun. Abeg no go there joor. We are well prepared for 2015 to ensure that the people's will stand. We are not responsible to ensure law and order, APC is a peaceful party. We have never made inciting statement unlike the PDP.

This attack was most probably carried out by the supporters of one of the aggrieved PDP Guber aspirants just to show their displeasure over the party flag handed over by Jona to one of the then aspirants cos this attack happened exactly same day the Guber candidate came into the state from Lagos. People should read reports to understand and not to attack. Udo diri unu

mrofficial:
I told you guys before, that people who have suffered from the terror attacks will not be happy with GEJ, because he has refused to do something about it. He has been blaming the opposition and left the people for dead.

Aside that, what makes you think it wasn't staged by the PDP to draw sympathy, these brethren have 21.8bn Naira to draw from. They have promised to revise the strategy of their issue-based campaign you know. On the other hand, some aggrieved guber contestants may be getting back at them for their wayo wayo primaries, afterall they said Pwajok was returning from the 'well attended' mother of all rally held by the PDP in Lagos

mynairatime:
These guys encouraged me. It really shew that they can die for what they believe.

There's nothing special there to impart any encouragement. Last time I checked, dying for what they believe is the prerequisite for getting 72 virgins. Violence is counted for righteousness yet they call it religion of peace.

datolee:
Obiageli, I wish you could now see what I was trying to say in the other thread, Nobody is doing or saying anything about this pre-election violence, this is even before the election proper, imagine if (I use IF) Buhari is to lose the election, what will happen? We are not learn from history, forget about condemning the violence of post-election.

Don't tell me about army and police going there, it is the same APC that is against so called MILITARIZATION of election, If GEJ send troops there, you and others to this area of Jos now, APC will say they are against APC supports, why not send the troops to Chibok etc. Not one word of caution and condemnation from APC and Buhari on this, the same way there wasn't any caution from PDP and presidency of what happened in PH the other time.

We don't really need force in everything, parties owe it as a duty to ensure their members and supporters are not violent, if you so desire change, get your PVC and vote out the incumbent president, threatening people and intimidation will not solve any problem.

The usual defence, Oh, they are tired of the current government and showing their anger, the question, is killing the innocent civilians the right way to channel your anger about some politician who are swimming in money in Abuja? In saner countries, supports of political parties engage in intellectual debate, In Nigeria, we engage in violence. Even the politicians engage in name calling rather than facing the issues at hand.

2015 will be more bloody than 2011

Not going to court and forming a parallel government should the election be rigged isn't inciting to you? First, I will never stand for election rigging and people should be educated on how to secure their vote, we are getting there gradually like it happened in Ekiti and Osun. However, you and I know that every election in the country is considered rigged by the party that lost, that is why APC is still in court about Ekiti election and PDP is in court over Osun election.

My point is that, we do not need army for election in this country if politicians and political parties know their responsibility.

What did they do when christians were victims, when they attack only the church, and what are they doing to stop it, by giving out 14 year old girl Suicide mission, by saying that soldier are killing muslims in the name BH (sultan of sokoto)

First, the elections in Ekiti, Anambra and Osun was marred by irregularity perpetrated by the PDP-led FG. You can't use state apparatus like the Army and DSS to bully APC leaders before, during and after the day of election. That APC was declared winner in Osun is because the masses stood by their ground, PDP had no choice. The statements of that ugly and bleachin cream DSS woman Ogar on the APC and its members in Osun was most shameful.

I'm in agreement for a violent free election, I support and advocate for it. I am also an advocate of people resisting every move by security agencies to bully, intimidate or interfere in the process. The FG shd provide security but should not use the security personnel for their own gain. We need to build confidence in the system holistically

Truth is ..I don't give a damn truly.

Just disappointed that at least we have seen the world and to an extent exposed and experienced and should use the medium to enlighten those Nigerians in the stone age about the "truth".

But what do by you get? Absolute balderash and a complete deviation from what logic actually is. We support division, twist the truths in here, allow free for all fights and ethnic abuses, lack of respect for people. When we should be clamping hard on that and telling people we can different from the touts on the streets. Even the touts are better than "us" because one can excuse they didnt have an education. But what did we do with our own education. ?

Just mention nairaland out there on the streets. What you would hear as the response 9/10 times is . "You mean those people with sharp tongue." Such a bad rep.

I guess I am just gonna return back to my reddit. At least I know there is always going to be something new and meaningful to learn.

By the way. There are many good and lovely people here but they are in the minority because the owners have allowed the crackheads to have a swell time and run the show and we are daily being rewarded with more stupidity.

Like I wrote before, army and DSS have no business in election, but it is situations like bus burning and events of 2011 that will bring them out. Be that as it may, they should not be intimidating people, we must be allowed to make our choice freely, that is the benefit of democracy.

With regards to Anambra and Ekiti election, while I can agree that the security agents acted above their powers, it was not rigged. At least for Anambra state, I happened to be home then, and I still have in my phone the result of at least 7 polling units, people stood and had their vote counted. If people didn't stand, there wouldn't have been cancellation of some wards in Anambra central.

I sincerely hope for violence free election. innocent people mustn't die for some greedy politicians.

I see lots of progressiveness in you. I appeal that you join the progressives and let's join in rescuin Nigeria from sinking PDP.The event of Ekiti was most disgraceful, however, Nigerians should see election a patriotic act and not a do-or-die war. Our concern should be Nigeria and not our selfish interest. This is what Buhari stand for
