“Snatching a box is a crime. It is declaration of war on due process and free, fair election. Anyone who declares war on due process is committing treason against due process."

See how oppressors think. Shoot them because the would be ballot box snatcher is most likely the poor man. But for the looting rich who snatch our collective wealth with bullion vans and Ghana-must-go bags no such orders exist. Rather they are celebrated for their crime.

Tufia!

Prince Tony Momoh, a former Minister of Information on Wednesday said President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive to security agencies to deal ruthlessly with ballot box snatchers ahead of the 2019 general election is in order.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Momoh, one of the national leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) said Nigerians do not expect the President to give national honours to those who committed crime by declaring war on due process and free, fair elections.

He said “What is snatching of ballot box? Snatching a box is a crime. It is declaration of war on due process and free, fair election. Anyone who declares war on due process is committing treason against due process.

“Those condemning Buhari, are they suggesting that anybody who snatches a box on Election Day should be given a national honour?

“I don’t know what Nigerians are talking about. In America, if you attempt to subvert due process, you can pay for it with your life.”

Interference with Right to vote carries a penalty of 1 - 5 years in prison, or the court could fine.

You live in a country where armed agents even without open public orders from the President have taken upon themselves the initiative ungodly amount of times to be Judge, Jury and executioner yet you three have no iota of discernment to read in between the lines and think of the implications of foolishly agreeing to what seems on the surface a good intention but in actuality and reality a very stupid approach to curbing nuisance.
rules and laws are there to guide human Behavior, keep everyone in check including the leader of the land from overreaching.

But when tons of Idiots support a Foolish King, he will resolve to thinking that his decisions are wise after all.

My point is why only on election issue is giving this kind of order. When he has never said anything about the herdsmen killing people. He is just interested in remaining in power and not for your interest. Give him the opportunity to come back, I bet that the herdsmen will move to a new level in their atrocities. Casualty figures will enter hundreds of thousands if not millions. And he will still not be moved as long as they are Christians.

Hmmm.

That is the irony in the life of a typical pig.

Pigs will not stop making reference to how US is light-years ahead of Nigeria.

Tell them to behave like the Americans, they insult you down to your forefathers.

They will tell you US is a sane country, yet some of them who stepped foot in that US end up in jail for being more stupid than goats.

Now, the punishment for ballot snatching in US is death, but in Nigeria, pigs call it tyrany.

According to pigs, a ballot box snatcher is entitled to all expenses paid trip vacation anywhere in the universe.







The way you reason goes to show what you are made of. Agreed in USA snatching of ballot boxes and papers is death; have you care to ask if such is enshrined in their constitution? Because i knw down there President don't dare work contrary to the constitution.
In Nigeria electoral offences as enshrined in the constitution does not stipulate death rather years of imprisonment.
If Buhari so much wanted to change the status quo he shld have sent bill to the National Assembly to effect that and then he sign it into law.
Buhari promise uphold the constitution no matter his level of disagreement with its content.
If the content is not good sent a bill for amendment period.

What does INEC's electoral law say about ballot box snatching?
By referring the USA's law to justify that snatching of ballot box attracts death penalty which is contrary to INEC's electoral law is an insult to Nigeria's constitution.

Zombies, please you have to enact the law here in Nigeria first before implementation.

Nigeria has its laws and the president cannot usurp those laws or suspend the constitution and remain a president. Our laws are supreme and Bubu must realize that.

He didn't give shoot at sight orders against the marauding Fulani herdsmen but wants to scare away ordinary voters.

We don't even need to compare ourselves with other international laws if we must make progress as a country. For example in US it is legal to marry same sex while in Nigeria it is a crime. If we can put laws in place that suit our culture and tradition then Nigeria can move forward. Our culture and traditions were not considered when laws and constitution were drafted and that's the reason things can't work fine in this country.

Sharrap my friend !!! The thugs snatching ballot boxes are Choir boys ba? You must be talking about another Nigeria because the ballot snatching thugs we have always known are hardened criminals and killer who fortify themselves with charms and carry knives, machetes and guns.

If you see one in action please go and approach him to reason with him to surrender the ballot box while you escort him to the police station so he can surrender himself for prosecution. See if that wont be the last thing you ever do. Just come online chatting rubbish because of hate foe PMB and APC. Nonsense.

But a ballot box snatchers or criminal can totally shoot you down in what is jungle justice?


I was watching a movie yesterday, named "Death Wish". Crime rate increased. People are shut and killed almost daily. Many of those cases are unsolved by the police (more than 80%). Suddenly, a man on the hood appears, a vigilante. He kills people who kills people; Murderers, drug dealers, rapist are scared.

Police comes into the scene and are interested in apprehending the killer of killers. They want to bring him to justice. To them, it more important to bring the vigilante to justice than solve their unsolved cases. That crime rate was reducing, that streets were becoming safe again was not as important as bring the vigilante. Some call it a slippery slope.

What is wrong with this picture?
You don't get it?...

Almost everyone that does something feels they are doing the right thing... From Boko Haram to Nigerian Army...


So giving anyone death sentence without fair trial is a blow to democracy....

It took thousands of years before this form of government was created

It is like that for a reason
Re: Punishment For Snatching Ballot Boxes In America Is Death - Tony Momoh by bluefilm: 1:19am On Feb 21, 2019
I don't understand.

Was it that some of our contestants were really banking on snatching ballot boxes so as to eventually get such the results from such polling centers to be declared null and void or what?

The massive outcry following the president's tough stance against ballot box snatchers is making me to ask myself what these idiotic nigerians really want.
