I stated here before that heads will roll at CNN.

That was a horrible report.
Nigeria will sue them if they don't apologise and do more than this infantile recant.

Perhaps they still think it is joke.

How on earth can you state that 36 people were shot dead by soldiers without being at the scene and in the face of very credible question still hanging in the air "if soldiers killed even 1 person with their bullets,let alone 36 or 78 according to alleged lie by Switch, did soldiers kill all their friends,families,colleagues,neighbours, pastors/imams,boyfriends,girlfriends etc too? shocked

All the revenue CNN generated on those days from the online traffic and on TV viewership while beaming that fake news must be demanded as damages and used to take care of victims of police brutality, victims of the carnage and those their fake news further destroyed. The request for the damages must co-copy HE Donald Trump, the Republic Party and CBS.

Amnesty international must receive their own letter too while Lagos State Government must investigate the audio of IPOB leader instructing and commanding his IPOB members to burn down Lagos and establish the nexus between the audio and the coordinated arson in Lagos.
If found culpable, he should be reported to ICC and Interpol and other international bodies and prosecuted in absentia if he does not turn himself in.

If HE Sanwo Olu does not investigate this IPOB leader audio telling people to burn down Lagos, Lagosians, indigenes and Association of Lagos indigenes like the Lagos State Council of Obas and others should sue the government for not doing its job and compel the government to investigate the whole audio and movement of youths from the South East to join the protest in Lagos when same protest was going on in the South East!

This injustice against Lagos and Lagosians will not be permitted.

It is completely despicable that someone will tell people to go burn down Lagos and still not be charged by now. It is enabling him to commit more crime or someone else to wake up someday and instruct people to go burn down Abuja or Onitsha or Kaduna or PH or Benin and those places get burnt and we carry on as if we can't enforce our own laws.
#Justice for Lagos and victims of the carnage in Lagos



I think they were reckless and their shoddy coverage will eventually make heads roll in CNN.
Heads will roll just like the last time they paid some people to act like MEND until they got busted.


They were absolutely reckless especially after HE Trump called them fake news media for 4 years.


This damning verdict by this independent body of journalists is just the beginning. They were not even at the scene yet ignored the report of those credible media houses present at the scene.

Yet they are grandstanding.

CNN used some of the fake creatives that IPOB leader and his followers used to distract while they allegedly carry out the instruction of their leader to cowardly burn down Lagos.
You too collected the 30k a month? See your long epistle just for a simple clarification..

You can imagine a whole self acclaimed international media for that matter relying on the news provided by the enemies of the country. What a shame.
How can you rely on IPOB leader's (enemy of Nigeria) submission on what happened in Nigeria while he was no where to be found in the country? The same person who released a live audio record commanding his nincompoop followers on what to do by burning down Lagos State (the economic capital of another region) properties.

And a big SHAME on all Nigerians who simply believed and accepted the CNN claims outright, simply because it was CNN.

Back then we were calling you fools and donkeys for blindly believing them without evidence.

NOW YOU SEE HOW DUMB YOU ARE?
[/ please don't use] dumb nah, respect us small.

But why was Nigerian army denying being there initially? Then later they claimed firing blanks while live bullets bought by the army from Serbia were found at the scene.
It has already been established that the army lied. Why would they lie at all if their hands are clean? It suffices to say that they have something to hide.

Like any right thinking Nigerian, I've asked why are there no families/friends/relatives of the dead with so much alleged death of protesters? But again, even the two deaths that the Lagos state governor acknowledged, why are their families not speaking up too?
Why did it take the LCC so long to release the CCTV footage.
Why is it that a crucial part of the footage panned out?
Is it a coincidence that the lights went off at a place like the tollgate at about the same time that the shootings started?
Yes, the actual figures of the dead may not be accurate, but ARMY SHOT AND KILLED UNARMED PEACEFUL PROTESTERS. Whether they were 2 or 38, peaceful protesters died. Who will even be in right state of mind to be meticulously counting dead bodies in such a circumstance?

What they are saying is : ' We are sorry for not aligning our lies properly. The first lie was supposed to be part of the second lie but we did not put them together'. To be able to understand our combined lies, you need to have a mastery of liés interpretation '

Point to one Boko Haram terrorist, & I will point to one Ipob terrorist, a so called Ipob freedom fighter is a Nigerian terrorist like Boko Haram. Ipob sympathizers are persona non grata in Nigeria.


At least I have seen bodies of victims(even innocent children) killed by boko and fulani herdsmen, have you seen bodies of anyone massacred or killed by Ipob?

This is bad. Why put out such an inflammable tweet when its content is so ambiguous and subject to the worst interpretations?

Clarity is key when making reference to events like this. I've never doubted the journalistic prowess of those at CNN neither have I ever doubted their credibility. They should avoid making silly mistakes like this.


The bold part must be a joke, i guess

Experience has taught me never to dismiss an allegation for want of evidence.

CNN may not have all the evidence at their disposal ,It does not mean they lied.

A mad man may be telling the truth but we will not believe him because he has been labelled mad in the past.

All of us shouting for evidence of the dead bodies.

Can you show me one evidence of God. Yet you go about saying God exist.

True.

Iykopee:



I'm surprised u ended up firing a salvo in the wrong direction. Could it be that u never understood what was written by CNN?

U went completely astray by dragging IPOB into the issue, evidentially relying on recorded audio messages to assuage your position even though arrests made so far had the Yorubas in numbers, being responsible for wanton destruction of properties in Lagos.

Again, u decided to show your knack for tribalism by stating that those who destroyed Lagos were responsible for same destruction in Benin and Rivers without solid prove to back it up.

Nigerians like you are the reason why the govt can do anything and get away with it because the oppressors do have minions like u to defend their savagery.

Arguing with people paid the govt to speak the way they do? Enjoy the ride but never expect anything meaningful from them, they are part of the corrupt system in case you don't know. They make you believe fellow citizens from other tribes are your enemy to divert attention from the evil they do at helm of affairs.

So far, nobody was killed. Those allegedly killed by soldiers in Lekki exists only in the imagination of those who have been misled by the fake creatives by terrorists and the ignorant or mischievous media outlet like CNN

so soldiers carry blank bullet and still shoot at the air?
