Photos: Violent post-election protest in Akwa-Ibom today

Massive protest currently ongoing in Uyo the Capital of Akwa Ibom State over yesterday's elections in the State. Angry protesters are insisting that a fresh election be conducted in the State. They are demanding that the election which they say is the most fraudulent in the history of the State be cancelled. The protesters burnt tires and took over major roads.

Recently my indian friend told me Doro means India Goddess. So i took to action for a confirmation and here is what my ears captured.

DORO song. Listen to the song very
attentively and confirm it yourself. So
many people are been blinded by the tones
and sounds of music, nobody ever
bordered to know the meaning and the
words, everybody is busy singing and attaching doro to even their names, but the
big question is WHAT IS DORO? Have
you taken your time to listen to this doro
song? I have and I will tell you what is
doro by what the singer sang in the song,
it’s a gathering of all the doro worshipers, their she god, each of them praising and
explaining how BIG, HIGH and
BLOODY she is, now let's fellow the song
lyrics, the first singer started by praising,
DORO~Boss, Big, Heavy, Doro~bloody,
Doro gather pass everybody for the gathering, Doro get money pass everybody
here, {meaning that the Doro is richer than
all of them singing}. Now for people who
say doro is money, from these last words,
do you think they are referring to money? I
am only picking my points from all the singers. So let's go to the Second singer.
Another praise to their she lord, Doro
fresh, flashy, fine pass everybody wey
doro sing, {meaning that Doro is more
pretty then all the singers}. Think!!! The
third singer started with praise again, Doro na DIVA, {diva means a queen,
female celebrity, god}. Doro the leader
{meaning doro is a leader as in their
leader}. Doro is bigger, Doro is higher so
follow the leader, Doro get liver she no dey
tire, {meaning that they are referring to she not money not fine}. Now the forth
singer said Doro bad, make nobody try
Doro, Doro we get money but lastly she
said make nobody join Dorobucci ooo, the
5th now explain the personality of their
god DORO is a kind of boss, a cheerful giver, doro get pass everybody wey don
get before, doro fly pass everybody wey
dey this plane, now from all this what is
doro? they have made their point in the
song every other words they added was to
confuse us the listeners, they now use it as slang to everything they say because they
have sold their soul to it and they belong to
it, so that is why you hear doro don jazzy
cos all are members, just the way
Christians call themselves, children of
God, Pick your phone please and play the song and listen carefully because we are
at the end time.
Mind the kind of Music you play and listen
to.

This must be master minded by the party that lost. If APC wins, it's fine but if it's the other way they will cry it was fraudulent.

I agree with them on this,
The violence in that state was too much.

Linda please visit "Abia situation room" on Facebook. It will enhance your info on the situation in Abia State. Please. We need Jega's attention. The latest is that the incumbent governor, abaribe, ikpeazu are in inec office trying to force the collation officer to declare him ikpeazu the winner. So they can head to the tribunal. #Unfair. When majority of the state didn't even vote. In some cases where they did, Otti floored ikpeazu. ****cageyberry ****

THEY ARE TIRED OF ONE FAMILY TAKES ALL, THEY ARE TIRED OF IMPUNITY, THEY ARE TIRED OF OPPRESSION. INEC ARE YOU KEEPING QUIET WHEN YOU SEE CLEARLY THAT THERE WAS NO ELECTION IN AKWAIBOM? IS IT UNTIL THEY KILL EVERYONE BEFORE YOU CANCEL THE NON EXISTENT ELECTION?

APC trouble makers.PDP are much better than them. In Century bus stop when the knew that PDP will win d caused confusion.On d the other polling boot d poured d cards inside d gutter after d votin yet nobody was violent. We should learn how to play politics without bitterness.It must not be a do or die affair.And so many other places in Ago where APC did so.I'm not supportin any party cos I don't have a relative or friend contestin so OYO for me.

Akpabio refused free and fair election in Akwa ibom. Yesterday was bloody in Akwa ibom. In oron local government, the chairman Orman Esin in company of his thugs and security operatives moved from ward to ward hijacking electoral materials. Oron that don't want to hear about PDP because of serious marginalization by the Akpabio gov't wouldn't vote for PDP for anything. People are so angry in Akwa ibom over electoral violence carried out by Pdp thugs yesterday. So many lives were lost. May God save Akwa ibom from political tyranny. Orman Esin you sold your people rights for a pot of porridge, what were you promised? The God of oro whom you betray will not allow your evil intention to succeed. Let they be cancellation of the result .Generally too much rigging and violence.

I appreciate this system of conceding defeat having lost elections as practiced by PDP but amused ACP have never accepted conceding defeat in states they lost election i.e Rivers and Akwa Ibom. Possibly because they have become the ruling party and are capable of up turning results in their favor with instrumentality of power. That would have been the case if GMB had lost too.Please Amaechi should be advised in other not to push Rivers people into political crisis.We are getting weaken by his attitude.If PDP resist in all states APC won then we would have been into a serious crisis.

Anonymous said...

Amaechi is insisting on his stooge Dakuku Peterside to enable him cover up of his mess. Not in the interest of Rivers people but rather personal.

Unknown said...

You need a shrink cause you are schizophrenic. Why must you attach meanings to everything you see or hear. Predictably at the end of it all you attach it to end time. You can hasten the end by hanging yourself, mate. Just let us celebrate APC's victory in peace.

Responding to the anonymous commentator at April 12, 2015 at 3:05 PM on the meaning of doro, to make a good and unbiased research before coming to display his ignorance on the use and meaning of words. Are we in India? Have gone round the whole of Nigeria languages before going to India? A word can mean a lot of things in different languages, so don't bring up some conspiracy theories. Some people like this read something some where and they begin to bring some funny theories. Yesterday on Channels TV one of the guests was talking about numbers to determine who will be the next governor etc. Any mad man can propose any random theories and with a probability of being right. So park well.
