“It's Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.” – Mark Twain.

Note the title, this topic is not about whether there was shooting at the scene, it is to expose the unproven massacre narrative that have plunged many states into total or partial anarchy.

Some anarchists protest organizers grew impatient, just like Stalin, they needed a plausible event that will shake the world. And voila, we had the "Lekki massacre".

The international community condemned the alleged "massacre" in Lekki based on unverified tweets from extremist protesters. After basking in the euphoria of being seen as human right activists, many of these tweeters have gone underground.

These celebrities are now in a quandary. Unlike the illiterate mass in Nigeria who swallows everything they see on Facebook, serious organisations have been demanding for concrete evidence of a massacre but nothing have come up yet. You would expect that those who wants to destroy the country will provide the definitive proof for hundreds of dead at Lekki tollgate. Till now, nothing except some fake pictures. But their aim was achieved destruction of lives and properties.

Despite having various online sessions to deliberate and collect evidence, none of this massacre tweeters could provide one, not even one person who died via the shooting.

Now that they have been exposed for telling unfounded story, they have turned their attention to full propaganda. What they did next is to display bullet casings and some wounded people as evidence of a "massacre". You would have been seen such videos making rounds. This also didn't stick with critical thinkers because it doesn't prove a massacre.

In order for the hoaxers not to lose face, their next line of deceit is to start collecting random missing people's picture as the "missing dead" in Lekki because that is a more believable lie and difficult to debunk.

One of those missing pictures being paraded as Lekki victims happens to be a man declared missing in Kogi about one month ago! I won't be surprised if they start recruiting and coaching new actors to narrate the "massacre".

While these was going on, the smarter ones among these anarchist who don't want to be seen as irrational have been revising down their number of deaths from 100 to 78 to 15 to 12 and 4 and even 1. But they are carefully insisting on calling even 1 death unrelated to gun fire a "massacre". Words have meaning, so is massacre.

We have seen the wounded in the hospital, guess what?
Their body was not riddled with tissue penetrating bullets as we would expect from the tales told about soldiers firing live bullets directly into a crowd.

The headlines has also been shifting from Genocide to Massacre and now Shootings as reality dawns on many commentators.

Even in repressive regimes where the government controls all news and have deathly penalties such as Syria, hard evidence of a real "massacre" were presented when it happened.

But be warned, if you raise this issue and ask for evidence among your friends or colleagues they are going to hate you for challenging their irrational beliefs and even call you a government agent even when some of them passionately campaigned to install the current government in 2015. They have
The Lekki tales has broken a record. It is the first "massacre" in world history where nobody died from direct fire from soldiers.

Until we see real evidence of a massacre, this remains a hoax. This fake news should stop with you.

I believe issues have to be handled with sensitivity when lives have been lost.

Armed forces in civilised societies disperse protestors with batons, water cannon, teargas, dispersal grenades and massive arrests. If things get bad, they bring out rubber bullets or blanks.

In Africa, our armed forces tend to disperse a persistent crowd by shooting in the air to scare them away. If they refuse to run, they will shoot a handful of people at the front to terrify the crowd into running, then continue shooting in the air till everyone has cleared out. This is what happened at Lekki.

In 1995, my secondary school hired PH Liberation stadium for our Interhouse sports. Sometime during the program, one stand in the stadium filled up with Elekahia boys from the local neighbourhood. After the program, these boys started intimidating students at the gate to give up possessions. To disperse the boys, Police started shooting in the air but some boys were acting brave and refusing to scamper, that's when Police turned their gun horizontal and fired 3 or 4 shots at the boys and one boy called Owē was killed which made the rest to scamper.

This is the African way of crowd control.

These sorts of incidents happen a lot in rugged hoods in Nigeria, but if you try that sort of stuff in Lekki, you will be held to account.

Depending on what side of the debate you choose to believe, somewhere between 2 (SanwoOlu) and 12 bodies (initial reports) were dropped at Lekki. DJSwitch video mentioned 7 people laying down which is somewhere inbetween. I don't know if Donjazet is railing against the inflated early figures such as 49 that were flying around social media in the early days but nobody is suggesting 49 people were killed.

The number 2 to 12 is consistent with Nigerian Armed forces approach of shooting a handful to shots into the crowd to get people running and then shooting into the air to keep them running. One man with a machine gun will claim 30 bodies in 30 seconds as we have seen in many mass murder incidents around the world. I think all these bad blood in the last few days is simply people trying to take extreme positions of either denying or overplaying the reality of what happened. The above I just described is what I see as having happened.

DontBullshitMe:

I think he does not. But the truth is that he's less stronger than he was in 2016. So, if he was unable to win popular votes then, he should forget it this time around.

Though I think there is a slight chance (no matter how little) that electoral votes might tilt in his favour though I doubt it.

Americans have seen through that "I will run US economy like a businessman" BS.

However, is the highlighted consistent with the Army’s massacre of Shite protesters in 2015?

Sanwo Olu's interviews also show that Lekki incident was sponsored by powerful forces beyond his control.

Judging by the accounts of eyewitnesses and the pieces of video evidence, a massacre took place in Lekki on Tuesday.

Personally, I've not seen any evidence to believe otherwise.

The Army did terrible things to those youths.

NinjaMetahuman:
mount and 10 other chelsea players.

Ibime:


In the West, they would call it a massacre.

In African factor, just like I said to popizaino before the Lekki shootings, bullets will not discriminate if he goes out to protest because I already know how Nigerian army control crowd which includes the taking of some bodies unlucky enough to be at the front.

Nigeria's cyberspace is full of lies and FAKE NEWS, the protesters highly exaggerated the figure of the victim while government also lied about the incident.
