As much as I would like to remain apolitical.
We both know that this is not true.
If you would have left gently, why didn't you obey the curfew with that same 'gentleness'?
In your search for public sympathy, don't lie.
The government is guilty already.
You can't make them more guilty than they already are.

The South (SW, SE, SS) are very strong united in this struggle for a Good life. North is the major problem of this Country. They backward, uneducated, uncivilized, and unproductive in all ratification. Dividing this country would save more lives than this contradiction called OneNigeria. The Oduduwa will make a better country than this shithole

Get your fact right. DJ switch never said 78 people died. Her figure was 7 to 15 and their bodies were taking away.

If the CCTV was there why is it rocket science now to release the videos by CCTV?

However Nigerians present this Lekki regrettable and ugly incident , emotions will never take the place of logic. Yes lives have been lost in this protest all over Nigeria & yes there were shootings at Lekki Toll but never a massacre .

However, there have been too many lies about the number of people, & I find this disheartening because even one life lost is bad enough.

No matter how you hate me, curse or call names, it doesn’t change the truth from remaining the truth. Soldiers came to Lekki toll gate and fired bullets in the air for 30minutes, people scampered for safety and there was first degree stampede that night. Over 100 people got injured, stray bullet hit 3 and all of them are still in the hospital while one of them died the next day.

If you can pause and think, the first thing you will ask yourself is. Since they call this a massacre

1. Why was there no single drop of blood at Lekki toll gate the next morning after the shooting and the road is tarred of which you can see everything on the ground.

2. With the bullets we saw on the ground in the morning after the shooting, if soldiers actually fired straight bullets at protesters, don’t you think it’s trailer that will be used to pack dead bodies the next day

3. Let us agree soldiers killed 100people and moved them away. Now ask yourselves, did they come back with water, hypo and buckets to wash the whole of Lekki toll gate? To the extent we didn’t see a drop of blood from what Nigerians termed massacre

4. Let us agree that soldiers killed 100people, moved their bodies away, came back and washed the whole ground with hypo, let’s ask ourselves, what are their names, who are their parents and friends, why haven’t any family in Lagos come out since then to say my children are not yet back from Lekki protest?

If Nigeria does not kill fake news, fake news will kill Nigeria.

Over 20people Nigerians posted their pics and videos claiming they died during the so called massacre have come out to deny and say they are all alive.

99% of pics and videos flying around social media turned out to be fake.

CNN and BBC finally found out most of the news is fake and have retracted most of the pics they displayed initially.

What everyone is now asking is that. Why should soldiers come and fire bullets in the first place, nobody is calling it massacre anymore.

All the noise ended up as lies and hoax. Even the CCTV camera they raised alarm that was removed at the toll gate turned out to be lies.

Those doing the lying are actually doing more disservice to the movement because it casts all else in doubt.

I maintain; you can condemn both the shooting & the lies.

Buhari is not the owner of Nigeria. Do not burn down this country with lies. If we burn down this country, Buhari will retire 2023 and the damages we caused , all of us will still suffer it forever.

Pigo Hedliger..


I comend your sincere analysis. I guess you were handsomely paid to do this. Just keep the good work going. We'll all be served round

Pls, just answer these questions
1)Why was that light( both the bill board and the other sources of light) switched off at lekki toll gate.
2) why was the cctv removed.
2)That bolded part, you also can testify that soldier came to a peaceful protest ground to disperse protesters with live ammunition. What went wrong with using rubber bullets, Canons, teargas. You are aware of what stray bullets can cause in such a very large crowd but they still went ahead to fire live rounds. Can you give a very good reason why they resorted to using that method.

Of the thousands of people there , yet we are unable to find any video.

No splatter of blood at the scene of the crime, which should not only be collected in places but random in others.

Up till now, DJ Switch has been unable to show us her blood-stained attire from the said night. After all, she said she helped lift some of the dead/wounded.

On her Instagram page, she preferred to be promoting some Jalabia she was gifted than presenting her blood-stained clothes.

But you will agree with me that immediately after the shooting, there were live videos from the scene with people in pool of blood. Live videos.

And have you so far noticed the trend of reported cases of people missing? Have you been following the trend?
I cant agree less that some are doing it for clout while some are deliberately declaring themselves missing, then they eventually debunk it just to prove the fact that there is no missing person. Man, we are in the technology age, check out these evidence, read reports from not just our local media here but also from the international media outlet.
A forensic report just came out this morning showing different images lekki toll against the supposed fake video also, a vidoe surfaces online again with time and date taken showing three vans leaving bonny camp and these there vans were later captured at the protest ground. Man, if you cant grieve for the lives lost at least dont attract curses to yourself by making it look fake,
