they off the lights so that no video can record their atrocities and parade a fake video to confuse Nigerians may all supporters of this buhari regime be confused all through their lives

Bros. Make we calm down. This is not about the supporters of Buhari. Please let us be cautious of what we say. Are you telling me we don't have supporters of Buhari on that ground that day?

There were all there. We were devoid of any political parties those days. We just wanted our voices to be heard irrespective of any party. Pls don't make this a a party war. I know we have some people who worship their leaders more but I am sure you are wise not to engage them or insult.. Please. Handle the matter just as you would settle a fight between two brothers

Pls bros. I beg. All these are not necessary at all. They are not. Please respect the beliefs of everyone. Not everybody thinks the way you do. Please for God's sake.... it is unwise of you to start hurling insults at one another. You can make you statement heard without the insults
How do you get people to listen to you if you continue this path? Is this how we want to teach our children on peace ?

That path of Rebellion is never a good path. You can always make your point without insults or violence. Do you think the people you are against cannot listen to you if they reason with your words?

My yoruba people don't let them sell you made in Aba story. Where I have problem is this, even despite not being a supporter of boastful Jagaban
Let the truth be told. Why are the people purported from outside yoruba land come down after him like their very life depend on it. They even ask their proxy in London to look for him. Tinubu is a yoruba man and the affairs happened in yoruba land why must the easterners leave their biafra issue and carry Tinubu'matter on their head like gala. Yoruba wake up, igbos are planning to remove Tinubu for some plot, either because he's blocking their plans in Lagos. They live mostly in Lekki but because they will pay for the toll gate everyday they decided to use the emotive protest for their nefarious activities and burn it down. Unfortunately it will be rebuilt to their disappointment. Let's wait for investigation on the shooting and those who remove the camera. It shows yorubas are careless about their key points even the legendary high court was not spared. Yorubas henceforth must be conscious of what happen within their space because what I see is a carefully calculated move to disenfranchise us of power and say in Lagos, which is on as we speak. If you like my yoruba people disregard it. This is the cavit, no non yorubas are allowed to vote and create tension in yoruba land any more, no more igwes or emirs or seriki in yoruba land again everyone is answerable to Obas in yoruba land.You do in Rome as the Roman's and no more land for sale in yoruba land for non yorubas and any yoruba in collusion on land matters must be made to forfeit the land with no compensation and jail term with no option of payment. Non yoruba investors are welcome to have a max of ten year lease with option to renew. These must be inculcated in the bylaw of each south western state this will at least check all these messing up with our affairs and influx of toxic people into our space. This law must apply to current title holders even with landed properties. They may be compensated for their property but not beyond a limit per square meter.

He is saying the truth why is it is only igbos that are eyewitness jc switch-igbo now this so called chukwu they should really to given evidence not on social media but at the panel
Get out of my mention you treacherous son of a bastard. My brother was at the toll gate and confirmed the shootings. He lost his phone while running for his life as he witnessed someone running beside him got shot. DJ Switched had a live stream of the event but because you fools could Photoshop Buhari's live speech you simply call everything, even a livestream event to be photoshopped. Bastard Cowards!

sometimes the rage of vengeance in us as youths of nigeria may seem reduced because u had guns but spiritual just know we will win. since our security is a threat to her citizen then we should protect ourselves. shootings at lekki, confirmedSARS killing innocent lives for no reason. The murdered souls did they steal or rob anyone? Yet most were murdered cold blooded.

Am sorry if my comment added salt to your injury...nobody is paying me to lie or twist anything here, and fully responsible for any comment I make here and what ever that comes with it, the correction, the curse and the insult...
Must you curse? Do you know that there are few people who curse with date, and it works very well when they are returning one?repeatedly Tested and trusted...we are all in this together, PEACE

For your information we are not even in the first 8 just like India, Indonesia despite huge GDPs are still among the poorest countries of the world.

That is so wrong. Indonesia is far from being one of the poorest countries on earth. It is in fact an upper middle income country just like Thailand and Malaysia.

https://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/new-world-bank-country-classifications-income-level-2020-2021

If you called Indonesia as one of the poorest, what is Nigeria or Kenya then?

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 curfew was to start by 9. This incident started about two hours before the curfew.

What is the metric used for computing the wealth of a country? Why does that metric place Luxembourg ahead of a supposed giant like the US? I'm waiting madam lecturer

Just admit you were wrong by including Indonesia in the same group consisting of the actual poorest countries on earth like Ethiopia or Nigeria.

Per capita income 2020

Indonesia: US$ 4.038 (population 260 million)
South Africa: US$ 4.736 (population 60 million)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

See? Even with much bigger number of population, Indonesia's per capita income almost as big as SA which has much lower number of population. Will you call SA is one of the poorest countries too?

Indonesia grows much faster than SA too... Admittedly in the next three years the average Indonesians will be wealthier than the average South Africans, the wealthiest country in Africa.

Point of correction as follows:
1. Wikipedia is not an accepted source of information in any study whether academic or commerce. As far back as Masters study level you should have been told that. Mention of Wikipedia shows that you have no idea about what Wikipedia is. Next time for authoritative sources of information cite IMF, World Bank as you did earlier albeit in wrong context, World Economic Forum, EIU, WTO, etc.
2. A per capita of 4k USD is still a very poor country stop running on emotions and listen especially to anything you haven't heard before. Even miserably poor Nigeria can do 2k USD per capita so that should tell you 4k isn't a big deal. Monaco does 185k USD, Liechtenstein does 174k USD, Germany 46k and you are correcting someone with claim that Indonesia is not a poor country?
3. Your data on South Africa is wrong on all the points you raised - its per capita is 6k and not 4k. Secondly is not the wealthiest country in Africa, is not even in the first 3 or 4. See don't assume it's only youths that visit nairaland some of your lecturers are here, so don't say what you don't know. In your response lookup countries like Equatorial Guinea, Botswana, Seychelles etc before running your mouth again about SA being the wealthiest country in Africa

What is your definition of "the poorest"? If US$4k is among the poorest, people like you must eat dirt surviving with only US$2k, and that's before pandemic. Nigeria's economy is projected to contract by about 4 percent in 2020, with severe challenges to regaining growth momentum in 2021-2022. There is no way Nigeria's per capita income would surpass US$1.5k in the next three years.

Stop making other people laugh by comparing any Asian countries to Nigeria.
