Topic: How do we avoid violent during this 2023 election (Read 79 times)
My dear, it's possible for us to vote peacefully without violence here in Nigeria,and it can only be done whereby we all especially the youths will realized that there is no gain in trouble and should as well understand that this politicians you are here killing your brothers and sisters, don't fight themselves when they meeting at the aso Rock or in national assembly or in abroad,and that is to tell you that they understand the politics more than you who is fighting for them, that election is not do or die affair ok ,and this is what Nigeria need to understand, in election time like this, individual have their preferred candidates and in such needs not to fight each other because he or she made a different choice which is not yours and we all are entitled to decide on who to vote for on election day,so I believe when we understand all this,they will be no violence on the election day..
my question is that can we really vote in peace without killing and violent ??
The violence is instigated by politicians, it is very obvious. People were willing to conduct themselves in an orderly manner just to ensure that they casted their votes.Many Nigerians turned up in mass to cast their votes, the youths who have never been involved in elections where out in their numbers to ensure that they made their voices heard, they walked long distances, waited for long hours, stood under the rain, and waited long into the night for their votes to be counted and uploaded, but INEC seems compromised and not independent in their decisions because them just dey do like dem want make the election nor go smoothly, dem dey give room for rigging. They have delayed in uploading some results, made the process not transparent enough, and given room for politicians to take advantage off.
If INEC announces a false result, it will be too obvious because are not stupid anymore and that has the potential of causing a crisis, bigger than we have ever witnessed in Nigeria. To answer your question OP, violence can be avoided by INEC, by ensuring the results announced are as the people voted.

Do understand that most video circulating are old videos and a popular example is the Wike speech with laptop (talking to someone about defecting to APC) the video with the guy coming down from a bike and shooting upwards while others destroy the ballot boxes is an old video and it surface in last election. After reading some comments during the last election it was uncovered that it was an army exercise on how arm forces are to act (I can't verify this) but play the video, watch closely those guys aren't Nigerian and chille was been shouted by someone in the background. Abeg who dey call person chille if no be ghanians?
As for other videos circulating, it's quite true that the election has been violent and not just from one side, all three parties has their incident of violence. Some has more than others but the violence reach everybody. I see people dem beat because dem wan vote APC and see people they restrict access to voting because dem be Labour. Guess what most of this incidents na for west and south. Nothing badly serious I dun here yet for North and yet we think say dem be the problem?.

Series of videos of shooting and fighting all over the media, I’m not sure if its the same video with the one i saw but t don’t see no reason why you would risk your lives for people that don’t really care about you and agian how much will they give you. Our leaders of tomorrow risking their lives for small amount of money, why not go cast your vote instead. I even heard that president buhari ordered the army to gun down anyone who tries to run with the ballot box or destroy them so why still risk your life when you know say you no chop odeshi or juju wey bullet no go penetrate you. Even a young graduate wey just de serve was shot dead around my area as he was trying to run with the ballot box can you imagine that.

Let us all try as much as possible to avoid any act that can attract political interest as the general atmosphere is highly intense and with the ugly results being recorded in some part of the country is obvioususly us that some youths have not learn any lesson from previuse election and with that we still see promising youth risking and losing the life just for pee nuts.
-There is a sad story coming in from my home town of one guy that just finish his national youth service few months back being gud down for ballots snaching, and this news is not so good at all.

Avoiding election violence right now seem to be the current situation of Nigeria. We have people who wants to vote their choice into power and people who maybe employed by political parties or candidates just to frustrate the citizens efforts.
I believe say some of this election violence they happen because the incumbent government actually endorses it, we have security agencies, The army, police and other who should be deployed without bias or sentiments into polling stations to prevent such violence.

I saw the video you’re referring to. Those guys just lost their life over nothing. My polling unit was slow but peaceful, I waited till all the votes were counted I just got home a few hours ago. I’m seeing news that there was interference in the elections by interested parties. Just saw a video of votes for labor Party thrown in the gutter. I just hope that INEC will disqualify those polling unit with these issues.
Some things are happening in some states, they are very unbearable , some of us are taking laws into our hands ,by taking violent my force and fire ,
Now today I saw some videos of how some guys were shot dead today based on the fact that they went ahead to destroy ballot boxes and shooting at the air with guns ,some army men shot them dead , because of that .my question is that can we really vote in peace without killing and violent ?? Just now I washed news and there were videos of how ballot boxes and the vote cast, were destroyed and burnt ,some places were disorganized because of that too.
Some were being flogged and bruised for attempting to take away ballot boxes that votes has already been cast on, some people expectially the men took risk today and lost their lives ,so like what's the need of doing all that ?? I just kept asking my self if we all can vote in peace .
Now there are three main people contesting for the position of a president in our country ,can there really be peace during this election???
