That's why many witnesses haven't been able to come out to tell what happened on that night, they've been searching for witnesses and bribe or intimidate them into silence


Was this one intimidated or bribe?
Some of you are so daft,there is no way people will die in that fracas that it will be succefully covered.

It must have been Christmas banger the soldiers used to scare them off. You seem like a gun expert, if only you could give us your contact details so we help spread the truth about what's going on.
You have little knowledge on calibres of bullets and damage they inflict, yet you're here arguing.

So far we have seen about 2 victims(at most, 3). Does that qualify to be called a massacre?

Why are you speaking on behalf of the victims? Are they deaf and dumb?

What were they even doing outside when the state has declared curfew? Waiting for the state to do it's worse?

Even the 2 weren't directly linked to the protest venue.

I am grateful that we have people who are not like us, because

1) Black people don't think, and when they act, they tend to be foolish, loud and extreme or fanatic's, fanatics ready to kill and to do whatever because they are not really intelligent


humilitypays:
Black race, especially Nigerians are the most wicked race on earth.

They derive joy in killing, cheating and destroying others. But once they are on the receiving end of the maltreatment, they start to cry fowl.


All Nigerians are wicked.


It is absurd that people are defending the murderous Nigerian army known for killing civilians for joy before now.


It is unfortunate that we no longer have no nonsense western leaders that will damn the consequences and invade Nigeria to arrest Terrorist Buhari to answer some critical questions.

America or France can arrest Buhari if they want without a gunshot.


America need to revive their global Policing that made the world praise and love them in the past.


In fact, all West African countries, especially Nigeria need to be recolonised by the white. Colonial era is far better than what wicked Nigerian leaders are doing to their own citizens without any form of shame or remorse.


National army is meant to defend the citizens against external aggressors not to kill their citizens.


Nigeria is shameless

how can u be claiming many where shot but non is comming out

So the one CNN saw and used in their video is no proof for you, the elderly woman that also make youtube video that his uncle son died in the shooting and was condenming the government is no proof. Its people like you that are part of this country problem. When we should

Watching CNN video shows that though soldier shoot at the air, they equally shoot directly on the protesters. And why do soldier have to be invited to protest ground in the first place when they ought to be fighting Boko Haram and allow the police as done in civilized country to handle the issue of protest.

So people can't die as a result of stampede, exhaustion, dehydration and what have you?
Na only bullet dey kill people?
If truly soldiers had killed,let them bring forth the evidence.
i.e
Corpse.
Name of the deceased.
Family of the deceased.

Everyday we get different accounts of one event that a simple video, picture, name, blood stain, dead body would have resolved or made clearer.

If army took away dead bodies did they also come with a water tanker to wipe away blood stains, forgotten footwears,foodflasks, pieces of clothings,lost phones of a place where about 78 people where killed and hundreds of people ran for their lives under intensive shootings and gun fires?

I just don't get it.

You're right I really don't have any knowledge about guns whatsoever which is why I am asking you the expert to assist us in uncovering the truth by making public your contact information.

Journalists and investigators could be reading and we must act now so that the perfect reputation of our troops isn't dragged to the mud.

Why is it that no protester has come out to say the army did not shoot anybody?

The govt. Has not thought of that yet.....

Watch out in the next few days someone paid by the government would claim to be a protester and try to defend the army.

There have been accusations and counter accusations about the lekki Shooting Incident. Both international TV stations have given their own report after their investigation with videos.
Bellow is BBC report

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlSRq_WAdlE

And also CNN report

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKhJcL2ttls

Who do we believe is giving a true account of what happened at Lekki Toll Gate.
Painfully, our local journalists couldn't carry out an investigative journalism like their foreign counterparts.

The BBC lady is very funny.
You claim that "soldiers were shooting in the air".
Yet you also claim that, "you were crawling for more than 20 minutes..." lol
When you want to lie, lie properly.

Did military also kill and buried their families, friends and colleagues?

This person said, bullets were flying around right? How come the bullets were killing people and yet we can't find bullet holes on surrounding structures?

have you been to Lekki toll plaza? Do you know how far structures are away from the toll. I agree bullets will touch structures far away but I doubt if it still has same velocity to penetrate. On one end around oriental is also the lagoon. No structure behind the protesters that the bullet could touch as it's an express way, where structures are far away are sides which soldiers are not shooting at. Maybe a stray though

With this useless question, I will say I am disappointed in you. You are as heartless as your masters(the cabals). You have no conscience, not to talk of since of empathy.
So even even with all the available evidences, both within and internationally, you still want to take the side of this blood sucking people that doesn't even care if you exist? What do you stand to gain? Are you sure you are not Lai Mohammed with a secret moniker in nairaland? However, the blood of the slain Nigerian youths is crying to God. He will take vengeance in due time. You people should just kwantinue!

What live video?

The BBC reporter that was at the scene claimed they shot in the air.

Till date, nobody has been able to provide credible evidence of a massacre.

The walls at the Lekki toll Gate remain the same despite a spraying into the crowd.

All families that lost their loved ones have become mute suddenly.

Even some ghosts have arisen.

You guys should tell your story to the crowd.

Massacre my ass.

Of course they did.

They managed to leave with equipment whilst the rest of the crowd that had nothing were being slaughtered.

There were bullet holes on the toll gate towers. I was at Sangotedo last week and drove past the toll gate. The bullet holes are still there.

how old are you sef ,you talk like a foolish toddler..
family members of people killed testified on CNN they did proper research before they aired the news ,go and check it up ...
they even showed satalite data to back claims you think is here that media will carry news anyhow...
as a person before you talk on your head ...
don't just walk around with it like a light bulb...
Nigeria where they make you feel like protesting is a sin...
you see what is happening to protesters ,and you want the family members to come out so that they too will lose their life....
the few people who came out to testify did so with proof...
and are probably not in the country.
your waiting to hear from Nigerian media in Nigeria ,what they a trying to bury and your saying no shooting ...
they showed clear cam footage of when the gun was pointed into the crowd ..
do research don't just talk .....
you can't hear most of these things on radio or TV ,don't operate with that fact...
let's all tell ourselves the truth if the government wants to cover up something they can with ease ...I mean are you fvcking blind our leaders are not even telling the same story .....
brethren this is Nigeria ....
it's our country ,but right now its really messed up..
keep fooling yourself in a public forum thinking you are making sense
