Basseti:

@ Kobo

your call for security armed forces is understood. But remenber GEJ is seen as the problem now. Giving military orders might not be the best possible solution now especially from someone they are protesting against.

The Northern elite (Buhari inclusive) can quell this if they REALLY want to. Just as much as they can start religious riots. Anyone saying that they cant is just being disingenous or dont really know how politics is played in the North.

Beaf:

Military orders have already been given. A curfew has been in place for hours now in Kaduna, that is already a pretty extreme measure. If the people don't read the signs and insist on rioting, they will be shot in the streets.

IS THIS RESPOSE FROM BUHARI GOOD ENOUGH TO STOP VIOLENCE NOW?

Ileke-IdI:

Wow seriously?

This will be the solution? What govt works with improperly "settled"  rebellions?


@Thread

Why isnt anyone talking about Ribadu?

Kobojunkie:

I am sorry but this did not come out right from your end. We are not calling for Goodluck himself to get a hold of baton and then go out in the streets to enforce the law. There are already service men in the north and many in the south who are not doing anything right now that can get out there to do the job.

I don't know why we should first consider Goodluck's feelings and image before this can happen. I don't get it. He just happens to be Government and common sense is Government ought to provide security NO MATTER WHAT.


WRONG AGAIN!!! The Emir's own house is reported to be on fire. Why was he not able to quell it, along with other leaders in his area? He is a northern leader so why hasn't his words worked?

Please we need to stop swallowing all these gubbled-de-gook nonsense of northern leaders being all powerful and realize that even their control only goes as far. That is why people still expect the Government to step in and do it's job- the job we pay it to do. Drop the silly excuses please.


P.S. Buhari, like Ribadu has never been known a Northern Leader --- cue the rejection of Buhari by the Northern leaders only some weeks ago.

Speaking on Aljazeera, Monday, [size=14pt]in reaction to questions on the rising protest and violence in the North where he has a large number of supporters, Mr Buhari said the announced results were false[/size] and that he had laid his complaints before the electoral body. He said the body has agreed to check the score sheets manually and compare with the results they inputed to their electronic system.

Donlittle:

Yeah right, i always see them with a small radio, but u can never hear them listening to news,
it their music they turn on and listen to for hours.
I lived with hausa, they dnt care bout news, tell them A they will do, tell them B, they will tell you we will think about it
The A now is fight, but the B right Now is Stop, they are thinking about it.
hausas dont listen to news, it Musik all day long

Basseti:

With all due respect, U dont know what the 'ell u are talking about.
Pay closer attention to any Hausa man u know. They are more politically and religious(ly) aware than U people give them credit for.
No hausa man I know of EVER misses the BBC hausa programs.

[size=14pt]Buhari loves blood.[/size]

Aigbofa:

How nice. Blood thirsty as well, what a nice combination.

Basseti:

This where U show a lot of ignorance. And I prolly wont balme u.

What Emir's house is on fire?  What part did the Emir play during the elections? Dont just throw out random facts without even trying to dig deep. I suggest U find answers to these questions before U make another post.

Basseti:

If U think that those people are out on the streets on thier own accord , I suggest U pick up a book on Northern politics.

jmaine:

why the sudden shift with a vague explanation . . thought you denied the fact that an average aboki man has a means to receive news. And basseti corrected you and Kobojunkie naiveness, you whipped up another line . .what do you think they will be listening to now on their little transistor radios . . Politics ( Buhari plight) or music . . .guy you don't need to do junkie all the time . . .she is unique but you can make a difference in your post for once . . Be objective . .

Aigbofa:

Aren't you the one who just said protesters will be shot on the streets?

2mch:

. He is the type of adviser's GEJ has. That is why GEJ has made so many mistakes. Turning guns on your citizens is most likely to turn bad. It never ends well. The person will be ejected from office. Jonathan cannot try it. Nigeria will go from 1 to 100, in a minute.

Donlittle:

What do you mean by buhari plight?? seriously!!!
wow!!
i am going to tell you, this ppl dont listen to news, times without number, they dont!!

Basseti:

Please stop saying that. It just makes U look
1) completely out of touch or
2)disingenous or
3) just plain silly.

Donlittle:

What do you mean by buhari plight?? seriously!!!
wow!!
i am going to tell you, this ppl dont listen to news, the un-educated aboki dont listen to news

i think you should read from the beginning of my thread, the un-educated aboki,
or u seriously think the educated ones are out their on the street fighting?? yeah right
U sounded like you know all, even tho u dont!!!

@ topic

still no word from any media.

i suspect these so-called riots are a deliberate attempt by some, to further paint nigeria in a bad light.

mischief makers.  

their agents are already on nl posting fake pictures and trying to shout down any request for links or sources.

since they know there are none.

Basseti:

Ok, let me put it another way. Maybe U will get it now.

The average uneducated hausa man is more "religiously and politically" aware than say the average uneducated Igbo or Yoruba man.

Before U throw your pants on fire, do a little bit of sampling.
