OK
That one dey

A people that disobey law and order should not cry in a lawless situation, the Governor of Lagos state declare a curfew but some certain individual said no to the directive, in all every one of them both the government, army and the people that disobey govt order have cause us all this unnecessary report by BBC and CNN


Curfew was supposed to begin 4pm but was later shifted to 9pm,shooting began 6:30pm

How did anyone disobeyed the govt when they clearly had 2hrs more before official curfew starts??
Where in the world ve u heard that punishment for breaking curfew was by shooting of the offenders...

You just talk recklessly for the sake of it,I pray u don't get recklessly killed too for the sake of ya heartlessness

BBC were present at the venue and gave their report but anyone who watch the CNN report and still say there is no massacre at the lekki toll gate on that day is heartless.

It is a shame that we even have to rely on foreign journalists and TV stations to get a clearer view of what happened at the lekki toll gate.
Shame on Our journalists

It's the FGN that should be shamed, not journalists. You very well know the FGN is gagging the media.
So, shame on Buhari's government!

Why do we give book haram TERRORIST amnesty then?

And is killing the punishment for disobey curfew?
in a situation of lawlessness anything is possible, why were most of those celebrity that were fronting the protest obey the govt curfew and went back home and left people they can incite on ground without telling them to obey the curfew.

BBC is way more reputable than CNN. CNN doesnt mind if the country implodes from spreading their con news. In fact, from conflicts like these they will make more and more news. No wonder Trump calls them Con News Network

None of you have been able to tell us exactly what lies the CNN told.
The Nigerian army, our own army said they were not there, all the videos of the event were fake, but it turns out they were actually there but shot "blanks" Now, who is lying? Use your head and stop being a sucker.

When lies are spread.

Supporters of lies look for the one that fit their own fake narratives.

The liars association group are all going for the better lies while dismissing the lesser lie.

To know where a bullet was bought is very easy. Let it not be to you that is very hard. Once you even have a bullet and take it to gun market in onitsha, you will know.

It is getting extremely sickening. People break law and order consistently for 12 days in the name of a protest. The governor declared a curfew and they still felt brazen to disobey the governor believing its their right? Nobody wants to talk about that. Do we want a Nigeria where roads will be blocked consistently and people will choose to be lawless? Nigerians who need to stop following crowd mentality and start asking what is good for them.

Bbc should release their own live video rather than showing us their lifeless reporter that is been economical with the truth. You left few minutes after the shooting started yet no video evidence.

There was shooting. Soldiers shot into the air but some silly ones may have fired whether intentionally or unintentionally into the crowd. But it was not a mass fire into the crowd, if it was DJ Switch will not be alive. It would have been a bloodbath. Some people died, many were injured. It was a tragedy. I am against the use of assault weapons to disperse a crowd. Sometimes it always ends fatal.

DJ witch that was there as a protester and lied. 72 died, later 24, do you know what it means to shoot 1 person at close range? do you know the amount of blood that will be lost and spilt on the floor?
Why would you believe CNN that was no there at all.

Well, after both videos, I feel both have their report based on the availability of evidence present. That the BBC reporter said no one died at the lekki toll gate contradicts CNN report. But remember the BBC reporter said she was there for a little above 20mins. While CNN report said the Army shot for hours.

But CNN was not even there!! How can they shoot for hours and you can’t find any dead bodies and multitude of injured persons on the ground?

When the Lekki shooting happens, CNN was busy chasing after Trump. Haven't successfully ousted Trump they've turned their searchlights on Nigeria. Their account reported was from Third-party, just like Nigeria's traditional media. BBC reporter was there at the venue. Which report then do we believe? Let your emotions decide which account of the story to believe. It is all your business.

First of, the army lied multiple times. Like five times consistently, consecutively and very contradictingly so there word means nothing anymore bcuz they've bleeped themselves hard in d arsse. Pussy guys.
Now, did they use live ammo? Yes they did. The evidences are there through the shells. Those things picked on d tolls were live ammo not blanks. Another lie.
Sanwo also lied too. First he said no deaths, then he said just two then him and d army started fuckin around fighting eachother like pussies and trading blames.
My take, the army shot at Dem. And even if they didnt, which they did. Why did they go their with live ammo at all? Why also were they lying all along. I was raised up to believe dat the Army don't lie. All of Dem wearing dat uniform should bury there heads in shame for dat stupid act they put up at d polls. I shame for Dem.

Nigerians.

I said it, and objective people said it. The Nigerian army did not shoot anyone.

Available evidence shows that police came afterwards and shot people.

Many of you are getting this wrong. Why are you making an excuse for something that is clearly wrong! Unintentionally shot into the crowd? Why would the army shoot at protesters?
This is not normal, in some countries you don't even see members of the military on the streets not to mention shooting at their own citizens. The army lied at being there, then they came back and said they were there but shot only blanks, are we supid?
