Now who is to blame for the violence, why didn't you tell gej to stop using money politics and highwire manipulation, isn't he smart enuf to know the north is volatile, the same way there was wild wild west n the south west , can someone show me how goodluck got 428,392 votes in katsina state.if you notice,in almost all northern states, gej has a steady and perfect share of 25%.is it a coincidence or something fishy is going on somewhere  why is he instigating violence in the north by putting together one of the most sophisticated rigging heist in nigerian history.kudos to sahara reporters for exposing this.               When the people in zaria protested and almost caused a breakdown of law and order,because the emir of zaria received a 500 million gift from gej.didn't he get the picture.gej has been bribing northern elites and has carried out a sophisticated, yet almost believable electoral heist in the history of nigeria. You people don't know the high wire meetings gej had to manipulate the elections n the north.now sahara reporters is the enemy, mtscheew ,I pity nigerians who just can't stand the truth. Your man who promised to transform nigeria, has transformed the electoral landscape into money politics,high wire rigging,falsified results, etc . Now its backfiering on him. I don't support violence , but gej and his pdp thieving politicians are to blame for starting a high profiled rigging heist.

What amuses me most is the curfew in place during the day. These guys are masters in night attack. The Igbos who are always at the receiving end should flee for their safety as the government of Goodluck Jonathan is confirmed to be incompetent as regards internal security.

The simplest solution to the problem is to announce results that only reflect the wishes of the electorate. Buhari won the election in all the northern states,whereas jonathan had same in the south-west and parts of south-south. Elections have never been held in the south-east since the commencement of the exercise. All the south-east figures are inflated.  But the pdp has decided to set the nation on fire. I weep for my country.

GoodMuyis:

I promise to keep you updated

We manage to push them back with stick and stone thereafter Security force appear

BUT THIS RIOT IS REAL NOW

BEFORE YOU READ MY REMARK PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM FROM THE EAST. ITS AMAZING SEEING HOW PATHETIC AND CLUELESS MOST NIGERIANS STILL ARE. THOSE FROM THE SS, SE AND SW WOULD RATHER DIE AT THE HAND OF SOMEONE WHOM THEY REGARD AS A BROTHER THAN BE SAVED BY A STRANGER. WHAT A SAD STORY BEING TOLD HERE. IF A PARTY WHICH HAD JUST 7 MONTHS OF NATIONAL RECOGNITION COULD PULL THIS MUCH CLOUT AGAINST ONE WHICH HAS HAD 144 MONTHS RECOGNITION IN NIGERIA THEN NIGERIANS HAVE SPOKEN THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED "GOODLUCK" AND HIS BAND OF SHARKS, KILLERS AND THIEVES.

LETS SEE THIS IN A CLEARER LIGHT HERE. THE CLUELESS NIGERIANS JUST ELECTED A CLUELESS AND OBVIOUSLY not-so-smart INDIVIDUAL FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS. IF IN 12 MONTHS OUR FOREIGN RESERVES HAVE BEEN ALMOST DEPLETED WATCH OUT FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS. PERHAPS WE WOULD BE GOING TO GHANA TO BORROW FUNDS. I REMEMBER THAT IN 1996/97 NIGERIA, CHINA, INDIA AND INDONESIA WERE ALL RATED AS DEVELOPING NATIONS BUT NOW ONLY NIGERIA IS STILL A DEVELOPING NATION WHEN INDIA, CHINA AND EVEN INDONESIA ARE SUPER POWERS TODAY, HOW SAD. WE ARE THE LARGEST BLACK NATION IN THE WORLD, THE THIRD LARGEST PRODUCER OF CRUDE OIL IN THE WORLD, YET WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE LED BY THIEVES WHO CARE ABOUT NOTHING ELSE BESIDES SELF ENRICHMENT.

IT IS ON RECORD THAT THE AVERAGE IBO MAN IS CORRUPT AND PREFERS HIS OWN KIND. AN IBO MAN CANNOT EVEN TELL THE TRUTH TO HIS BROTHER OR EVEN HIS WIFE BECAUSE THEY LOVE DECEPTION AND ONLY DANCE TO THE TUNE THAT FAVOURS THEM SUCH AS THE PDP TUNE. CORRUPTION CAN ONLY WALK WITH CORRUPTION. THIS IS A CLEAR INDICATOR OF THE LEADERSHIP WE HAVE. I AND MY FAMILY VOTED FOR THE DUO CALLED BB BECAUSE UNLIKE MOST NIGERIANS WHO DIDNT, I BELIEVE IN A BETTER FUTURE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN AND THIS FUTURE CANNOT BE FOUND IN THE LIKES OF PDP BY WHATEVER REPRESENTATION THEY HAVE. I WEEP FOR NIGERIA BECAUSE IN ANOTHER 3 YEARS COLLECTIVELY WE WOULD BE PRAYING FOR GOD TO REMOVE THE MAN GOODLUCK FROM OFFICE BECAUSE THE WORST HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN.

Riot broke out after a police officer in northwest Nigeria's Katsina State killed a man and wounding two others.

Security sources told Xinhua that the killing of the man sparked protests with the smashing of windscreens and burning of tires on a major street.

A police officer fired his rifle Sunday afternoon and killed a man and wounded two others while trying to defend himself as the victim's friends tried to force him from police grip.

The wounded were a man and a woman, the source said, noting that they were receiving treatment in one of the general hospitals in the state.

The police officer was said to have gone to the Kofar Marusa Quarters on patrol and was trying to apprehend a man as a suspected drug peddler. But some of the suspect's friends tried to force him from police grip and the police officer's gun went off, firing several rounds of ammunition.

The incident led to protests, as youths took to the streets, demanding that justice be done over the killing. They burnt tires, smashed windscreens and wielded various weapons as they marched on the streets.

Some people, seizing opportunity of the protests, broke into shops and carted away valuables that are yet to be quantified in monetary terms.

But the timely intervention of army and policemen kept the situation from escalating.

State police commissioner Ibrahim Moh'd expressed his displeasure over the incident and summarily dismissed the corporal. He described the victim's death as unfortunate and his killing unwarranted, adding that the officer would be charged to court for murder.

He appealed to people of the state to remain calm and go about their normal businesses.

On his part, the police officer said he did not deliberately kill on the victim but fired out of self defense.

He said some youths numbering about 50 and carrying dangerous weapons, had attempted to kill him and other policemen.

He told reporters that he regretted the shooting and asked the police and court to treat him with mercy.

Pataki:

That does not solve the problem. Increase, bold and shout in capital letters, it does not solve the problem already created.

House arrest or room arrest. . . . it does not preclude those Northern youths from still protesting and vandalising anything PDP. We all know that when Jonathan went to Nasarawa, he was stoned there, only to now see that he won in the same Nasarawa state. . . .I laugh in Ijaw accent.

The mistake has been made inflating figures for Jonathan. . . . the logical thing now is: what is the way out?

You think arresting Buhari will solve this problem? Sit down and think again!

Igwe.:

Phew! Admins' Title page says and I quote ''CPC Supporters Are 'Protecting Their Votes' In Kaduna''

mrjingles:

Madam Tpia we are talking about kaduna your posting link on katsina, the above incident has NOTHING to do with elections, the officer has been arrested and CP promised he will be charged today. There's a riot in Kaduna and its on the radio, Ive called a friend there and he confirmed the army is out and the town is in lockdown until further notice. Everything is not about posting links.

Depointer1:

I am from the south west and i supported BB. Nigeria deserve the government they get. Why people of the south could not vote for BB and allow the 8yrs power to shift back to South in 2015 still surprises me? Tribalism and conflicts would cost GEJ's government. This government would be the worst govt we can ever imagine, ppl should go and write it down.

Seen like three Mil 24/35 gunship in the last 25 minutes take off from Port Harcourt NAF base headed to a northern direction.
