Problem is that those coming to snatch the box do not come empty handed too. They come with pump action rifles and all sorts of weapons.
They are not afraid of shooting anyone that gets in their way.

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
Not sure this works 100% in a place like the US which is one of thw world's model of democracy. A landowner or shop owner or mall security can justify shooting to death someone that trespasses or thieves without even calling the authorities.

What some folks here don't know is that Buhari’s order will be used to avert penalty for the massacre coming on on Saturday.


All civilians massacred on Saturday =accidental discharge = ballot box snatching.

Thank you Oga, I am just appalled by some of the comments I see. Lord! May I never justify Tyranny no matter what I stand to gain.

Have you seen people snatching ballot boxes. This guys are armed to the teeth. How do you expect a security agent to stop them without shooting. Why are Nigerians foolish like this. A crooked politician who has bought weapons for his boys to steal ballot box is crying and you and I are supporting them. What happened to our brains. Biko

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?
Institutions are designed to protect the issues for which they are created to solve.

I'm not a thief neither do I have any plans to steal... but I will totally kick against ,a shoot at sight order on any thief...because it's not constitutional , its called jungle justice!!

It's what the Fulani herdsmen are doing , disturb my cows and I kill you....Buhari is a Fulani man tho ..what do I know

There is something Nigerians are not seeing yet:

Buhari's order is an attempt to disenfranchise millions of electorates.

As it is now, so many Nigerians would be scared of going out to vote due to fear of being a victim of stray bullet.

Now, what other way to carry out a massive rigging mastermind?

Trust me, they have millions of votes thumb printed already to replace millions of Nigerians that would be scared of coming out to vote.

The Kano case is just an eye opener.

If u are an election official,u see a child that u can swear with ur two balls the he/ she is underage,what do u do? is underage voting not another means of snatching ballot box or election rigging.
Re: Punishment For Snatching Ballot Boxes In America Is Death - Tony Momoh by Mac2016(m): 3:56am On Feb 21, 2019
I use to hold this man at high esteem before now. There is a difference between death sentence (which is even inappropriate) to ballot box snatchers and the President’s order of shoot at sight. If this man don't know, let's help him. Sir, numerous things may go wrong shooting at sight.
1. It's not only ballot box snatchers that will be at polling centers
2. Polling centers are always situated in areas with teeming population for ease access. Expect missed targets or misfire or straying bullets. Even execution grounds/shooting ranges where the shooting is even more coordinated is never situated amidst busy areas but isolated places

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.”

These same imbecilic morons would tell you that jungle justice is right as long as there is an offense...
Every sane and rational mind knows that there is a rule of law and a judicial procedure for the prosecution of every offense in society - not by intoxicated pronouncements of a brash and bloodthirsty despotic and nepotist dictator

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.


Is funny how zombies come online to speak trash...
in America there is a court of law were people are tried first, if found guilty they get the appropriate punishment for their crime as stated on the Constitution...

Not the shoot on site jungle justice as ordered by General Mohammed Buhari on Nigerians.

“Those condemning Buhari, are they suggesting that anybody who snatches a box on Election Day should be given a national honour?" No. They should be arrested and handed over to the Police not the Military for prosecution.

U.S Order to take life for any Act of illegality is constitutional.
Buhari's Order to kill Ballot Snatchers at sight, without Arrest and Trial, is uncivilised and unconstitutional.
