More like what we see in the Arabic world where rebels fight against the incumbent government,bombs blasting,killings,burning down of churches or say buildings,this and others were the experiences of Nigerians in the aftermath of the presidencial election on the 16th of April.
The last time Nigeria witnessed electoral crisis like this one was before the civil war started(actually that was the cause of the war).Political violence is gradually becoming part of our culture;in politics,in offices,organisations,houses etc.These days we now believe that violence solves everything.What happened after the presidencial election was so uncalled for as the rightful winner won so why the commotion?it only brought back the memories of the civil war.I dont want to say that the politicians are responsible even though there is an element of truth in it but let them be civilised in thinking and matured in action.
