Where is democracy?

After the weekend elections in Nigeria that saw incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan sweep the stakes there have been bloody clashes, resulting in loss of lives, destruction of property, and looting.

In the Northern region, which is the stronghold of Muhammed Buhari, Jonathan's main challenger, there has been chaos. Thousands of families have been displaced. The real reason is that Buhari's supporters cannot accept any other person other than their own anointed son. This has now degenerated into tribal and religious clashes mainly between Muslims and Christians.
