Amnesty international report did not contain the name of a single victim of Lekki shooting. They have moved from 12 dies in lekki to 12 dies in lekki and aluasa. Whoever runs the branch in Nigeria is like Chidi Odinkalu, husband of a dildoo herdswoman, who have once headed the NHRC, lacking any iota of integrity.

Amnesia International was asked to name a single victim on Arise, the drunken slowpoke began stammering and looking like a confused fool.

Was that how Buhari was stammering and looking like a confused fool of a drunken slowpoke when he said that the world is watching because lawmakers booed him during his budget presentation

Bros, don't mind this people. They are jumping from one media house to another talking trash. They are also threatening the victims never to come out. The victims know themselves. Amnesty international does not have their time. They have already gathered their evidence. They should keep on deceiving themselves

Don't mind them. They should keep fooling themselves till the International Criminal Court serves them. Then we will know whether the ICC has powers in Nigeria or not. I wonder who cursed us with this generation of foolish old gloats parading as leaders.

Were they shot at? The attention seeking DJ said they aimed at them and shot. Do you guys know what it is to aim and shoot at? If the soldiers were actually aiming and shooting at them with all those gun shots. We wont be looking for the so called "massacred peaceful protesters" up till now. From the same video shared by the accusers, soldiers were seen firing upwards with the protesters still daring the military men and vowing not to retreat nor disperse.

If you guys are sincere, the first question should be, what are they doing there after violence has erupted in many parts of the state earlier and curfew imposed by the government? The people willingly break laws and orders then claim to be peaceful protesters.
Since when do they need darkness to shoot upwards? You are obviously deeply daft.

Since Nigeria is sovereign country, nobody will lift an eye. But they denying it and also threatening the victims. It's a disaster in the making. Believe me, there is more to come

WHO ASKED THE MILITARY TO COME TO LAGOS?

this has been the question on lips of genuinely ignorant or deliberately hypocritical folks since the Lekki Protest ended last week Tuesday. I have the answer to the question.

Let me begin by saying that on 20.10.2020, I decided to go off air in protest of the "GENOCIDE" in Lekki, I will never support such against LAGOSIANS or OYOSIANS or even BAYESIANS.... anyone at all. But on Wednesday, when all those claimed to have died were denying, I paused. I said if the government denied it, those who lost their loved ones will not keep quiet. I just lost my dad and my beloved boss, I had lost my elder sister in 1988, I lost my elder brother in 2015 and so on, I know how painful it is to lose a loved ones and if your person had died by MILITARY bullet, no sane person will keep quiet. So, I was sure that Bereaved Parents, Guardians or Relatives of these dead people, initially 78 in number, will soon wear black mourning clothes and go to the Government House.

But on Friday, when all I saw was pictures of people who died but later came out to say they were alive, I decided to come back to social media. I started tweeting to air my opinion Days after I was convinced by myself that NOBODY WAS KILLED AT THE TOLL GATE.

I also watch how this alarm caused monumental destruction of monuments in Lagos and how everyone watched these folks without caution until LAGOSIANS begin to resist them. I also saw how many media houses started with the Headline LEKKI MASSACRE, LEKKI GENOCIDE and later LEKKI KILLINGS and eventually LEKKI SHOOTINGS. This further assisted my belief in the fact I had established above. I did not believe the Switch when she said the figure was now 15, and that she carried 7 BODIES TO THE FEET OF THE SOLDIERS. What? She was carrying the bodies to those who were shootings but she wasn't shot, neither did she get tired until she carried 7 bodies out of 15.....she definitely must be a guest at the Commission of Inquiry...even if those dead guys have no families, there must be people at the Lekki Toll Gate who must know one or two of them having stayed together for at least one week dancing and merrying.

So why did they shout MASSACRE, GENOCIDE? To hang a dog � you must call it a bad name. Who is the dog? Be the judge.

The hoodlums that ran POLICE out of town, had also disarmed the POLICE by stealing their weapons, burning their stations and killing the cops �‍♂️, the Police were thoroughly demoralised. These criminals now went to free prisoners in Edo. Edo Governor took a bold decision by declaring a CURFEW, and immediately he did, the MILITARY moved in to Edo to douse the tension, afterall, the police had been ran out of town...Now, Who invited the military to EDO? Is it Lagos Government or Edo Government? In Rivers, the military also came in, in Abuja, even Oyo, Ogun etc, who invited the military in all these places? Definitely the FG deployed the military to everywhere because, no serious Government will leave the country in crisis especially in the absence of the Police.

Why did Lagos become an issue? Lekki was an issue not Lagos because the military were in ALAUSA too but what made Lekki an issue is the word MASSACRE, GENOCIDE that one DJ Switch talked about.

Was there a MASSACRE? According to Google, Massacre is a Noun. It means "the unnecessary, indiscriminate killing of a large number of human beings or animals, as in barbarous warfare or persecution or for revenge or plunder. a general slaughter, as of persons or animals: the massacre of millions during the war".....So was there a Massacre in Lekki? MY ANSWER IS NO. This is one week after, no fact has proved this beyond the ranting and curses on social media.

Was there GENOCIDE in Lekki? According to Google, it is a Noun. It means "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group". So was there GENOCIDE in Lekki? My answer is NO.

Were there KILLINGS in LEKKI? If there were, I expected to see the real pictures not concorted as circulated but later refuted. I expected to see the families of the deceased immediately after. None of this was proven beyond rhetorics and emotional blackmail.

Was there shooting in Lekki? I believe there were shootings aimed at dispersing the crowd to observe the curfew. Yes because, there were about 20 people injured and hospitalised for sustaining injuries from mild to harsh, after which 2 reportedly died in the hospital �. One of the dead persons was said to be injured outside Lekki Toll Gate while the second had hit his head on something, Perhaps when he was running �‍♂️ from the soldiers.

So who is to blame? I blame the FG for not quick enough to nip the protest in the bud. I blame the genuine protesters for staying on the streets, blocking the roads even after FG had accepted their demands. What else were they looking for? Their unnecessary waiting allowed every form of interests to overthrow it and their leaderless nature threw them into anarchy which resulted in the looting and killings. The lies told about Lekki saga is callous and unnecessary, I hope all those who made the allegation of GENOCIDE and Massacre will bring their proofs to the Commission of Inquiry, failure to do so must lead to serious prosecution.

IN CONCLUSION, there are the genuine protesters led by SEGALINK who backed out when their demands were accepted. There are Politically Motivated ones who remained on the street shouting EndBuhari. There are Revolutionaries led by Sahara and IPOB who led many, directly or indirectly, into attack on properties and persons of interest. There are the criminals who want to free their colleagues and Rob some folks. There are hungry people who merely steal the stolen palliatives to survive. In all of these, the Political Protesters led us all to this point.

I thank the Federal Government for swiftly deploying the military to quench the activities of those bandits and hoodlums at a time when the police were under serious persecution ......

The same amnesty international sabotaging war against insurgency in North-East, they're allegedly caught many times supporting Boko Haram with information and food; if someone has army friend in a battlefield at North-East should ask him about the sabotage of AI. They ensured Nigeria couldn't buy the needed jets to fight the insurgency for the allegations of excessive force against Boko Haram insurgents. They report NA to UN human rights groups about the heavy weapons being used against insurgents, they discredit NA for attacking insurgents when not in combat, they always accuse NA for breaking Rules of Engagement when battling insurgents but unfortunately many haters don't understand the evil agenda of AI in Nigeria.
The biggest sympathisers of Boko Haram
