Easy brother. Weather you have different view from me or anyone, i believe we are all fighting for a better country through different opinions. For the record, I don't yet have a clear picture of what transpired at the lekki toll gate until the investigations are complete.
Apology if tagging you irritated you.
Lol...famzing gone wrong

Yea that was a very extensive investigation but we shouldn't rule out the BBC own report where it's journalist was present at the protest ground
You should stop fishing for idiots with your monitized videos. You were told repeatedly BBC said they left after 20mins.

And you believe BBC that had a journalist that was just there for 20 minutes as against DJ switch that was there all through the night...Zombie

You are an idiot!

The same stupid, senseless DJ Switch that's never been consistent and coherent in all her tweets and interviews. I'm sure the bitch will fail a polygraph. She's got no credibility.

BBC reporter said shots were fired into the air while they were there. When they left it doesn't mean the military didn't shoot into the crowd as shots fired into the air didn't deter the protesters. She gave a picture of what she witnessed only.

But DJ Switch said the army opened fire at the protesters immediately they arrived the scene, now a BBC reporter who was also present said they army shot into the air for the 20min she remained there. How do we settle this matter now?

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?

My last statement:
I am against the use of assault weapons to disperse a crowd. Sometimes it always ends fatal.

About the army lying, thats their business. It is good though you dont get the truth wrong. I was one of those that believed over 100 died that night at first.

BBC said they were there for 20 Mins while CNN gives an extensive chronology of the events not disputing BBC, of which at first the army did denied that they were there, you can notice how the army and govt are ever changing in their narrative while lots of the those who have talked about the shooting relatively follow the same sequence of events, the channels TV correspondent who was at the scene of the shooting that nite also narrates the same thing been said by CNN n BBC even showing the bullets used by the army which has been analyzed by CNN which has come to be live ammunition of which the army denies using live bullets, these bullets from investigations indeed puts the army in bad light, more and more things going on.let's see how it holds up

Dont be fooled by Leftist media CNN who seek to promote radicalized feminism , homosexuality, gay marriage, LGBTQ, abortion under the disguise of supporting End SARS look at their DJ Switch media talk and compare to their news of female celeb Adele divorce from her spouse, who after the divorce she will be feeding as their culture support female hypergamy creating broke emasculated men , my fellow youths let's not be deceived , the ends protest has been hijacked

Obviously its expected she married an emasculated Simp(a potential gay**t), because their society is so progressive and allows for female hypergamy hence the rise of weak nonvirile men , homosexual men, non binary men, She Male,Bisexual men,and other aborminations we see openly in these society,I commend her success as an individual , attaining these height in her music career based on her own merit but I'm against their society killing natural masculinity in their men via queerness,sexless,and genderless notion

The African Man is a natural redpiller , our conservative culture alone produces Alpha male,and also strong independent women who don't see men,babies,marriage,family as threats to achieving their personal set out objectives eg Mrs Folorusho Alakija(richest woman in Africa),Mrs Awoseka of first bank , Arch bishop Mrs Idahosa , Mrs Tara of house of Tara, Former senator Mrs Florence It's Giwa, Rev Mrs Adejumo, Aisha Yesufu of Endsars protest, Mrs Stella okoli the founder and current CEO of Emzor pharmaceutical,and a host of others

These compared to what the leftist american media who want to promote single motherhood,divorce,queerness and other progressive ideologies and we see in some of our female celebrities Toke Makiwa (divorce),Vanetta of big brother(divorce),Genevieve Nnaji (single mother),Waje(single mother ),INI Edo(divorce),Tiwa savage(divorce and single mother) and a host of others

Note I'm not against single women or men Apostle Paul was single,Jesus was single,Mother Theresa was single, you can be single and still fufil destiny, have peace of mind, attain happiness without needing the institution of marriage or family,what I'm against and I now see in some women is that they now see that marriage, family, .men, babies all as threats to attaining women right,and women independence hence the wave of radical feminism, toxic feminity ,progressivism,LGBTQ, genderless and queerness notion

An example is an NGO called feminist coalition that was headed by modern feminist kiki mordi and a host of other ladies who where one of the major sponsors and organizers of the End SARS protest specifically in Lekki toll gate protest under the guise of fighting for police reform,end to police brutality ,end to extra Judicial killing, were actual fighting for radical leftist ideologies like LGBTQ,abortion,gay marriage, etc which are against God and Nature, they were verified by progressive twitter owner Jack Dorsey to gain popularity and donation for these so called purpose

We are all complaining about Buhari today , his bad economic policies as we are seeing rise in fuel,food,transportion costs etc. poor govt educational policies keeping youths from school because of ASUU strike, dictatorial tendency by trying to ban social media,corruption by holding covid 19 pallatives ,etc. We see former pres Jonathan as a weak, incompetent , corrupt politician who could not handle the Boko Haram terrorist insurgency ,people don't see the reason for these was his refusal to accept progressive Obama Gay marriage policy,Jonathan not only refused these satanic leftist feminist ideology but also penalized homosexuals with new legislative bill of 13 yrs imprisonment of homosexuals,Obama punished Nigeria by refusing us the money and arms to fight these terrorist hence leading to countless loss of lives and properties,human displacement into IDP camps,violation of women body and right in the case of Chibok girls , and now these tribalist bigot incompetent president Buhari.

They're still in support of these evil government


Smh angry

They are evil themselves. This is a religious duty for them. In 2020 people are slaughtered for cows' sake and to prolong the battle of their ancestors. A majority among 180 million people is being starved and deprived of dignity, deliberately. The bloodshed is being gleefully defended by miscreants who they pay peanuts. Suffering and supporting their oppressors.

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

That's not the way to shame journalist. Their system is enable by strongs laws and they are well protected. Here you go get phone call 2am in the morning from unknown source and you get family to protect. unless you don't know your reality well. Don't use America or foreign media to compare yours.

Use your head to think before u type nonsense. Tackle the report and not the reporter. Point out any information from that video that is false.

The documentary on the case was true on both news networks. However, there were some exaggerations. If there was a consistent mass shooting into the crowd with assault weapons, it would have been hundreds of fatalities. There's no reason for argument, just ask someone who is well accustomed to ammunition to confirm if it is true or not.

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.

CNN report even shows where the soldiers shot directly at the protesters. You will see if you watch that report. So how can one deny a video evidence. CNN report proves soldiers shot directly at the protesters and you dont expect people not to be caught with fire with that.
