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. More photos after the cut...

  1. 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.

    1. 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.

  18. 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 ****

  61. THE PEOPLE WANT AN END TO DICTATORSHIP, NOT DICTATORSHIP BY PROXY THROUGH THE PDP CANDIDATE WHO IS GOVERNOR AKPABIO'S DUMMY. 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?

  71. 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.

  75. Apc members should accept defeat like pdp they cnt win every where. Thinkn dey can win in akwa ibom is a dream. Dey should go and rest and stop disturbing the peace of dis country.

    ReplyDelete
  76. 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.

  101. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  102. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  103. 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.
