These stupid americans should shut it and face their own country already. Let them go and make videos of the school and restaurant massacres that occurs in America. What is sickening is the inferiority complex ridden Nigerians who are quick to swallow hook line and sinker anything from their white gods undecided

Just as Buhari employed a foreigner to finish Jonathan’s image in 2015.

Atiku’s guy is pounding Buhari repeatedly. He blew the clone story internationally to make Buhari’s livid supported secondguess their loyalty.

Now he’s here again.

This thing has been happening since the military era.
The military are still stuck in the pre-1999 era where they can maltreat "bloody civilians" with blatant impunity. And the past and present civilian leaders have failed to address the issue of militarization of the polity, military harrassement. There are many videos of soldiers abusing the dignity of ordinary Nigeria with no consequential actions.

Even our president since 1999 still have aids that are military men in a democratic setting with DSS and the NP
It didnt just start today. Its just reaching its climax

Any unfortunate event which happens in this country I always write it off as population control.
We are numerous in this country and face no war other than minor ethnic clashes and the Boko Haram insurgency. Of course people will come up with ways to control the population. It’s the reason the average citizen indulges in jungle justice whenever the opportunity arises.

Did they get the appropriate approval before embarking on the protest?

You have to put the state of security into context here.

The military was very right and correct in killing those religious fanatics.

Nobody or group dare break military check point to the extent of throwing stones at them.
Even kanu and his ipob supporters who once tried such were later soaked in potopoto mud water whileany were killed.

Should the military not have dealt with them then, they must have grown wings by now.

what I can say on the killings. is that there was an order from above to kill them all. that person is buhari the CNC.

a machine gun were used on civilian, women and children. as it was captured on the clip it was a closed range and it cut off someone's limb.

I hope, one day Nigerians will appreciate the effort of the Nigerian Army in keeping us safe. Propagandists who want to bring the Nig Army to it knees will abandon you when you need them most someday.

Yes, there are bad eggs just like we have on our street. They have their challenges which I trust are surmountable. Let shun playing politics with the sacrifices the men and women of the Nig Army are making to keep us safe. They need our support.

Foreign and local propagandists will fail eventually.

God bless the Nig Army

In the days after this shooting, the Nigerian military posted a video of Donald Trump implied that American troops at the Mexico border should use gunfire to respond to migrants who protest by throwing rocks. That drew international attention to what happened in Abuja.

We worked with researchers at Storyful to see what footage was posted to social media from Abuja. We quickly discovered shocking scenes. It was clear the military overreacted and fired at people as they retreated, but the scenes were chaotic and it was difficult to understand what exactly happened.

We contacted sources in Abuja who sent us more footage. We were able to verify a large number of casualties from the shooting, far more than the Nigerian military admitted. So we dispatched our freelance reporter Emmanuel Akinwotu to Abuja over several days. He met survivors in hospitals, talked to witnesses and collected a trove of video evidence from their cellphones. Much of it had not been seen before.

In New York, we reconstructed what happened step-by-step, putting order to the chaos. We geo-located the site where the shooting happened – a military checkpoint outside Abuja. My colleague Christoph Koettl, a geo-spatial analyst, examined old satellite footage to see where the roadblock is usually set up — on a side road which is parallel to the highway. Emmanuel went to the scene and confirmed through local sources that traffic usually flows freely through here, as it was on the day of the march (the military said the marchers blocked traffic, but in fact the military did, when they slid their roadblock across the highway).

Christoph researched the military from logos and insignia in the footage, he identified the battalion involved in the shooting – the Guards Brigade, an elite unit that has a short chain of command to President Buhari. He also identified some of the weapons they used, including a heavy 50 caliber machine gun we could see and hear in the footage. It blew limbs off some people.

We talked to former U.S. Marines on staff, including our weapons expert John Ismay, about this and other machine guns we saw in the footage. Dionne Searcey, our West Africa Bureau Chief reported out other aspects of the declining security situation in Nigeria, and the history of impunity among the Nigerian military that allows events like this to go unpunished.

Christoph also retrieved old satellite imagery of a mass grave from a 2015 incident – he had reported on that incident for Amnesty International, where he worked at the time. Emmanuel interviewed military spokesman John Agim about our findings. He insisted that the checkpoint was attacked, the marchers intended to occupy Abuja and they had to be stopped. But what the Nigerian military did in this instance – to police unarmed protesters with live gunfire when there was no risk to life – is illegal under international law.

AI, NYT and other propagandists don't love Nigerians, the way blacks and Arabs behave and think is different, there is no universal solution to a problem, problems are domestic and actions and reactions should be domestic. It will be Interesting to know that almost 40,000 people have died due to gun violence in America this year, yet no one cries foul.

Nigerian Army risk their lives to give us sound sleep, the least they deserve is appreciation and support

As usual.


And our people fall for this without thinking.

In my own opinion, the government needs to get the Armed Forces a rubber bullet, stun gun etc for cases like this.

Human lives are precious. Nonetheless, this is suicide by the army.
In a country where lives don't matter, a protest like such will lead to the deaths of the innocent.

How dare you take along women and children in cases like this? Knowing fully well the kind of forces we have here won't wait to defend!

How many Shiite Muslims can lead such a massive protest and head to the White House without getting a fire back?

It's high time we stopped being hypocritical.

If the PMB administration didn't tame this Shiite sect, most of those crying foul now will be the one shouting that the President is permitting Islamic terrorists to grow in Nigeria
.

The whites you look up to has caused far greater devastations than this ... Now we make them look like saints angry angry
