Shut up my friend. Isnt that the same thing the president said? He said offenders 2ill be dealt with and yall have gone berserk like starving banshees. angry

Are you planning on being an offender? Why getting yourself worked up over it?

If you try rig, army go take koboko flog sense into the vacuum ontop your shoulders.

Be warned.
See another animal in human skin, you will just come on nairaland and be showing your senseless attitude, I wonder what pain you have caused your families with this type of misinterpretation. Well Your father which is Buhari didn't said they will be punished, He said they will pay with their lives. Now do you tink ballot box snatching is that really common in Nigeria again? Nigerian have advanced in rigging than snatching ballot boxes like president said. The president is using idea to tell his soldier boys to intimidate electorate in the name of ballot box snatching, I pray your family doesn't happen to be a victim of this, then you will understand the true motive behind the statement on election day. If you know what really happen in osun and Ekiti, then you will know what's behind that statement

My own point is the security operatives should be unbiased and the snatchers should be persecuted and killed.
Friend01:
Stop making it sound as if you don't know what we civilians are capable of.
If any irregularity is seen you take the case to the tribunal.
But the case of violently snatching people's franchise then you need to a price (I don't support his penalty pronouncement, but something sterner).

I disagree with you.

People snatch ballot boxes where they are weak or loosing so that such result could be cancelled.

Snatch ballot box and die.

A SAGE from the East wrote 'when a mad man comes to your house and defecates on the floor, what does a man do? He takes a stick and break his head ...that's what a man does' - Chinua Achebe, in "Things Fall Apart" I see no difference between this and what PBB has ordered the Security Agencies to do to Ballot Snatchers.

Now who are Ballot-Box snatchers? They are enemies of Democracy. Next to corrupt Judges who desecrate the Temples of Justice (or if you like, of God) ballot-box snatchers are the next worst enemies of the democratic system. if we are all agreed as to the seriousness of their crime, then how come some people are thinking we can use 'due process' to redress their malaise?

A Ballot-Box Snatcher is a thug, who comes sometimes accompanied and supported by a horde of thugs, with guns, cudgels, amulets, etc. They come unannounced, and ready to kill. They are armed physically and spiritually and has the element of surprise. They are no match for the light civil security required at the polling booth. The security agents will be outmaneuvered and at a serious disadvantage to counter them if he does not respond with extreme prejudice as ordered by the C-n-C, PMB.

The greater futility in doing otherwise as directed by PMB is that those whom have been arrested in the past have never been successfully prosecuted. Also, even when prosecuted, the penalties available under Nigerian Law is too mild compared to the damage done or the cost of securing conviction.

I think the so-called lifeless one is alive and well to his duties and this current call is spot-on!

[quote author=Omooba77 post=75872405]A President , @MBuhari makes a statement that clearly promotes jungle justice during elections with zero nuance to what he said and you have some young fellows defending this with their lives? May God help those of you that cannot see where this could lead on Election Day.


There must be a policing system that makes it difficult for anyone to walk into Polling Units bearing weapons of any kind and a process for dealing with die-hards that violate this.
That statement by the President can easily be misused by trigger-happy security personnel. Sad.

Madam just park for one side and keep quiet; you have no moral right to put your scamming mouth in the electoral process again.

@TOPIC:
When you are fighting corruption in a corrupt country, you do not have to follow due process.
We are tired of ppl taking advantage of our weak electoral laws and stealing our votes through rigging. How I wished that the president had even gone further and declared a state of emergency on the election, so that the law enforcement agents can have the freedom to shoot anybody on sight involved in any form of election malpractice - in this way we will know that whoever emerges the winner is a true reflection of our collective will and not through magu magu.
What happened to strengthening the electoral laws instead?

Same president refused to sign the electoral amendments into law and you're saying this?


The tiger you cheer on will consume you in due course just as BH is currently dealing with same northerners that supported in the initial staged when they were killing Christians and attacking churches.

Wake up!!!

I have come to realise this bald headed beech is no different from your average sow. grin

Please Buhari, retract your statement and tell the security agents to give candies and chocolates to criminals who come to polling stations to disrupt the democratic process. I think that way, youd make a good Democrat.
if he had use the right word like they will surely be brought to book or will never go score free it would have been better. If Democracy is so important to him like u said why has he not issue such word against heirsmen that have be rampaging part of the country? Alas they are his brothers.on what ground should u justify such a statement by a Democratic sitting president. Sometimes I wonder the kind of brain some of u have Nigeria is for all of us what is bad is bad we pray for a peaceful process.buhari is too mature for such statement he should will draw it immediately

From my own point of view, I think Oby meant was that security personnel will misuse the order on the election day. Remember it's a presidential order.

The problem of many youth today is that they dont know what we will be up against if Buhari and co are returned to power, just like I predicted in 2015, brace up for the worst. You may say it will not happen, please like this post as a reminder, even Tinubu has to down play the statement, knowing fully well the evil implication.
If you are a youth and you are hell bent retaining this government because you want your party to continue, please have a rethink and vote wisely.
Ask the Ogedengbes whose father was shot by back dated law for drug trafficking.
Go and do more research on tyrants like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Azzad, Sese Sekou, Idi-Amin, Empror Bocande, Saddam, Baby Doc, just to mention a few.
If you are ampering your choice on INTEGRITY, ask yourself, how many of his friends have been convicted, Babachir, Maina and Ayo Oke are all free to mention a few.
Nigeria is heavily in debt without meaningful development, billions were wasted on Air Nigeria, Mowe, Ibafo, Aseese till Ibadan remains death trap.
If you want to vote for him because of Pastor Osinbajo in 2023, only God knows who will survive the 'holocaust' if it happens.
Your vote is your power, use it wisely.
God bless Nigeria and may there be a country to bless!
You are only wasting your time. There is no any element of intellectual reasoning in what you have posted. Why hiding your identity and tribe?

Millions will vote because of Osinbajo. If Osinbajo were to be an Ibo man, 97% of the Ibo votes will go to his party. I spent 6 years in a Federal University in the South East several years ago, I know an Ibo dog will get the South East votes of about 95% while a Yoruba man will barely get 1% in the South East. After all, to an Ibo man, sophisticated morons is not worthy of any vote.

Many of you underestimate the implication of election rigging, including ballot box snatching, because it defeats the whole purpose of elections and therefore our democracy It means all the suffering queuing in the sun for hours by millions of Nigerians and all the billions being spent for the elections are mere exercises in futility and time and money wasted.

If a few greedy politicians are allowed to hijack the electoral process midstream and therefore render it useless and meaningless; then why bother to hold an election in the first place; why not allow these ppl select the leadership of their choice as they seemingly do through the backdoor?

Election rigging is tantamount to treason because it is a threat to our democracy and equally to our national security; it should therefore be a capital offence, carrying the death penalty - yes, I agree, the electoral laws should be strengthen accordingly.
