Fresh post-election violence has claimed lives and houses in Kano, Kaduna, Zaria and parts of Adamawa and Katsina states. The clashes were said to have flared on Sunday night after it became apparent that the Peoples Democratic Party‘s presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, was leading in results declared for Saturday‘s presidential election.
Reports indicated that the violence continued on Monday, with the burning of the home of a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Ghali Umar Na‘Abba, by violent protesters in Kano.
In Zaria and Kaduna, churces and residential property, including houses belonging to some politicians, were destroyed while a number of people were reportedly killed. Residents of some Northern cities have fled their homes to army barracks, for fear of attacks. - Punch

These mallams are just illiterates, do they think people get everything by been violent, small thing dem don enter road with cutlass and fire, they think say na only dem get craze, the people dey killed also wanted buhari to win, they for kukuma go aso rock go burn jonathan sef...
Here we go again. How can they ever understand that this can never be the solution.
i weep for Nigeria. if only Goodluck will take the next four years to seriously develop Nigeria and make the lives of its citizens better, that maybe these people can turn a new leaf and restore some faith in Goodluck. what will electing Buahri do for them personally? i seriously weep for my country.
u see the idiotism I keep on talking about. u see it ... Fair elections occurred. Yet, these northerners will not let me hear word.
Every northerner that has led Nigeria in the past, what did their pple reap from it. NOTHING. Only if ur were in the higher circles.
Damn shame.
Free/Fair elections... starts with the process for the election. Inducing delegates, whipping govs to line by using EFCC, deploying state resources, using govt money and enterprise to campaign, shutting out the opposing parties from NTA, using state govs to deny opposing parties campaign venues, invoking magic number from collation centers, delaying/populating results from south.... IS NOT FREE/FAIR election.
This is so interesting. The police got an order to shoot at sight... When politicians and top govt officials have their homes protected. Who are they going to shoot at? U guessed right. The poor, same people shouting IF NOT GOODLUCK, na who!.. Well I say GOODLUCK TO THEIR SOULS. I said yesterday, the poor will be our victims always.
Abeg, Violence is not the answer to rigged elections.Buhari should tell his supporters to sheath their sword, go to court if there are allegations or proofs. Pls for peace sake.I really wanted Buhari or Ribadu to win the election at least for a change from PDP's misrule, but only God can save our country, lets wait and see what the Nigerian "Messiah" will do.4years is just here.
Ha! This country...Thank God that the people have spoken!!! Goodluck Nigeria!!! Shame to bad people...I'm wondering why we can't just cut off from the North and let them go with their sharia. Bloody Illitrates!
this people are plain illiterates that did not go to school at all. what would killing people result to? its not going to give buhari more votes..abeg kmt
Anonymous 4.09pm. DO NOT GENERALISE... some of these northerners u should say not these northerners. Simple grammar is not that hard...COMMON SENSE.
On a serious note, I think Buhari should be investigated for the bombings that have been going on. They use underage voters in the North and yet lose the election and come out to talk about irregularities. Please, Northerners, this is really unfair, we have endured this from the North for decades now. Call your people to order. Or should we go our seperate ways since we cannot live side by side peacefully? Just a thought
anon 5:10pm....
you have made the smartest comment here today...he should b investigated... i mean...the north never said anything about a riot if goodluck won...so i say who r these few bodies of the north causin wahala, bombin churches like that is where the voting was held... a man who cried for his country cannot come out and accept that he has been beat and that peace shud reign...so he wud rather people died just so he can b president?
GEJ should roll out the army and enact a state of emergency where necessary. If not, Jos will be child's play compared to what these "almajiris" are planning.
When you look at them, the only thing you see is hopelessness, stupidity and emptiness. They are animals without emotions, ambition and sense of reasoning. There is nothing you say to make them stop except they get the feel of the military wrath. Can you call people who jubilate if election is rigged and riot if election is free and fair human begins? I wish there's a way to eradicate these cows.
we must thank God that Buhari was not elcted, these are the elements that make up his crop of followers. And the man has never been categorical about condemning such acts even when the have been treathening people sall along.
fighting mallams
only in the North
sill Jihadist mentality
psweeech
it's a shame the population of nuisance we've got in this country.
For all of Buhari's self-professed love 4 Nigeria he could have saved lots of innocent lives if he had made physical appearance in this troubled states in a campaign-like manner.I Believe that would compel his blind fanatics to lay down arms.
MAY THE SOUL OF THE VICTIMS (like most other 'victims of Nigeria')REST IN PEACE & CONDOLENCE TO THE BEREAVED TILL WE FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS ILL-CONCEIVED XTURE
CALLED
NIGERIA.
@ anonymous 4.36 what proof do u have or just typical way of blabbing rubbish.Go and check, jonathan ran a classy campaign based on issues and devoid of violence as against d one dat belong to d old and decaying past according to his vice (Tunde Bakare who all he did was to instigate violence in all his campaigne,always holding his fist to portray his violent stand. how did d general ever tot he was going to win when he never campaigned in d whole of d south?he sat pretty in his north west zone feeling like a demi god.elections are never won dat way.Jonathan transversed d lenght & breath of this country and never took any thing for granted eventhough he is d sitting president.instigating his almajiri's followers to kill themselves aint gonna change nothing.come to think of it of our 50yrs of independence d north have ruled for abt 36 yrs!what do we have to show for it?
The problem of the north is the illiteracy of numerous almajiris. I have lived in Kano State before and I know what they are capable of doing.. I can remember those days, we stayed in army barracks for over a month..u know what that means>>
This people thinks that they are the only ones that can use 'daga'(knife) to cut and kill humans.. I pity for them because they are very wrong.. we(I) only have the fear of God.. but hmmm.....
well, Goodluck should empower them through western education.
I can't see myself fighting for GoodLuck or if even is my father for loosing election.. because i am better enlighten..
that is the exact reason why the Northern elite keep the masses illiterate and dirt poor..for use in times like this..
combine extreme poverty with fanatical religious views, misplaced 'born-to-rule' mentality and tribalism and this is exactly what you have..
DEar mr/ms scorpio, pls spare me the grammer rubbish. Our problem is trying t be politically correct all the time. Even a blind man can bear witness that most of the blood shed in this country is always from the north. How come no prominent figure from the north is publicly speaking up against these. That is because they are all cowards, afraid of the wrath of the idiots they breed up there. How many more lives do we have to loose before somebody says enough! God made us humans but we chose to behave like wild animals. Its a pity. Just my opinion!
@Anonymous April 19th 4.46pm *Silence is the best answer for a fool*
NORTHERNERS just need to go n chill the heck out myn. Whenever something happens in Nigeria, they are always the first to pull the knife out n start up the killings. If u don't like the way the country runs it's business, then move out n build a territory of ur own. Or just shut up, chill out n behave fking mature. Instead of wasting lives for unnecessary reasons. Dang hisss!
you + your hot blooded brain washed brethens in the north are the fools and will continue to remain fools. AMEN TO THAT.
@ scorpio, you + your hot blooded brain washed vampire brethens from the north are the fools in this situation. May God grant you all his wisdom to see in the light of normal humans. AMEN
@ SCORPIO. The problem with you northerners is you see anyone who does not agree with your opinions as fools. That is why they resort to killing b/c they simply cannot tolerate others. Check yourselves and see who actually is the fool.
THESE FOOLS ARE STUPID! FIGHTING FOR BUHARI TO BE IN POWER. UPON ALLLLLLLLLLLLL THE NORTHERN LEADERS WE'VE HAD, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR THEIR OWN PEOPLE? NOTHING! THE MAJORITY ARE STILL ILLITERATE AND IN POVERTY, YET THEY ARE TAKING TO THE STREETS FOR WHAT AGAIN? FUCKING FOOLS!
WHILE BUHARI'S CHILDREN SIT COMFORTABLY ABROAD, THESE DUMB ILLITERATES ARE KILLING THEMSELVES AND FIGHTING FOR NOTHING. I BELIEVE THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT PREFERS AND KEEPS ITS CITIZENS ILLITERATE, THEREFORE THEY CAN BE USED AS POLITICAL DUMMIES. SHAKING MY F****** HEAD!
@Anonymous 12.41am & 12.46am Listen to urselves & talk out of ur mouths not ur backsides. Pure ignorance is all i see... NEXTTT!!!
You don't use violence to solve problems, they are more democratic ways of solving political issues in a democratic nation like Nigeria, i think these people need to be enlightened about democracy not DEMO-CRAZY
