Nigeria Stampede: Minister says he will not resign.

In Europe and America, whenever there is a scandal, the people charged with responsibility resigns with immediate effect so as not to interfere in investigations.

But not in Nigeria or Africa.

Nigeria's interior minister Abba Moro, has rejected calls for him to step down after he blamed job-seekers for their deaths in Saturday's stampede.

At least seven people died after tens of thousands turned up to take a test for fewer than 5,000 positions.

Abba Moro told the BBC that there had been "poor handling" of the event by officials but also said those in the crowd should have been more patient.

He said his resignation "did not arise" until after an investigation.
