Bruh I been they around o. Something just they tell me make I Comot na him I Carry my pangolo.

I see young guys when this protest start they yarn rubbish say them no be their papa. The last generation na coward. Them no go gree. Na their papa spoil this country. I just they look them.

This country has a way of breaking your spirit and soul. It's what was done to our parents. I am sure they can see that now. Some of them after that shoot out I am sure have started processing visa to leave. The little democracy we they enjoy, our parents went through hell for us to get it.

Naija has a way of breaking your spirit and will, and what happened broke a lot of will. It was sad to see

Amoto94:
Suppose there was an emergency that requires the attention of your parents and they failed to live up to their responsibilities and you're capable of averting the disaster will you fold your hands and watch as your siblings are plunged into destruction?

Amoto94:
I'm not defending government here stop putting words into my mouth, I'm responsible for what I say how you comprehend it is out of my control.
I know you to be one of the learned ones here but you're letting emotions becloud your sense of judgement, my brother take a break away from social media and refresh your mind

As for majoring in the minor what you called minor is the signal among forest of noises

StarchAndBanga:
So now u want us to take LCC's word for it that soldiers shot at unarmed protesters.

No. It doesn't work like that. At the moment all reports of shooting at Lekki are just hearsays and rumors peddled around by the opposition to cause unrest in the country.

Yeye they really smell

Expert17:
85% of those shouting MISINFORMATION were not in support of this protest at first.

That video succinctly captures how these peaceful protests turned violent. So, you can lay the blame on the appropriate quarters — Buhari and the ruling class, especially the Fulani oligarchy.

Oasis007:
When I dropped the above, I was loyal to the Cause, but going against spread of fake News has turned me to an Enemy.

Una Well-done.

[color=royalblue] There was a tribal clash two days ago at Iju

It all started with EndSARS protest and it degenerated to Yoruba and Hausa clash. I don't know if lives were lost, but there was loss of properties.

Amoto94:
Whether you like call it Helsinki, Reykjavik, Oslo or Copenhagen syndrome it won't stop some of us from calling for verification of news items to further deescalate tension and violence, fake news would do far more damage than what has already happened/happening. You don't sit in one safe haven and push people towards destruction in the name of revolution, we will refute the nonsense and call you out for stoking the flames of civil war.
As I'm typing there are unverified reports of Northerners being attacked due to misinformation and what if reprisals follow up in the North, with the threat of bandits, bokoharam Shiites, 1million boys, militants, and other non-state actors there will total breakdown of law and order and you won't be here to bear with us

wman:
You won't believe that they are already spreading WhatsApp broadcasts that no massacre happened at Lekki Toll Gate.

Someone abroad just forwarded the WhatsApp message to my dad and he forwarded it to me. The WhatsApp message even referred to Sanwo-Olu statement that nobody died.

That's how the Nigerian government always rewrite history and cover up their crimes.

Same way they denied the killings of the Shiites, Southern Kaduna and other places.

The doubters among us are aiding this government in covering up their crimes.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Can we stop this argument about how many people died or not?

The fake news was part of the objectives of whoever sent those soldiers there.

If the NA didn't kill anybody, they would have released a statement that they only shot blank in the air, but no, they said they didn't deploy soldiers there

Sanwo-olu too would have debunked the rumours of anybody being killed, but no, he said he was not aware of the incident

Judging from the IG streams, people would die either from stampede, bullet wounds, injuries, and delay in medical attention.

The government allowed the fake news to get to this level. Go to your streets and see people giving unspecified number of people that died

Whoever planned this did it to end Tinubu. Unfortunately, the virus don pass enter other states[/color]

omo he hot o, and I been they contemplate make I stay Lagos for one more week. Thank God say I japa. See the killing yesterday, I no believe am at all.

SmooshCHN:
The only reason I didn't go to Lekki today was because of traffic back to Ikeja. Do I feel like a coward for staying at home? Yes.

Y'all should stay safe out there.

steady986:
These LeBron haters are delusional. Shameless, and they don't try to hide it. We hear how Skip regular calls LeBron a frontrunner, rightfully claiming that points don't mean anything if your team has a huge lead. But here we are in this thread and someone's trying to convince me that points don't mean anything if you're trailing by 15

Man, I thought I had seen it all. Folks are trying to get even in the game and the points are stat-padding? Man, go ahead and fool yourself, you're on your own. I can't help you.

Cinacci124:
Lol....so no honourable mentions for MJ?

SyIvalord:
The idiots removed the CCTV cameras and switched off the lights. They forgot that drones, phone cameras and flashlights exists. Bloodsuckers! They will not go free this time.

SyIvalord:
Bro, these are simply coverups. You do not expect them to own up to this crime do you? Do you really expect them to say “oh yes, we ordered the army to shoot and kill innocent civilians”? Of course not!

The bastards are telling lies to cover up. Videos are all around the internet, videos showing the Nigerian Army shooting at the people they are supposed to protect just to protect the selfish interests of the monsters we put in power.

Ibime:
Lekki is the nervecentre of the protest. It's where all the social media campaigns and protest strategy emanate from. Same reason Universities were always targeted in any riots in the 1990s, you go after the intellectual power behind the movement to die it.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]It would still scatter over there

What happened in Lagos would spread to other parts

Umuahia and Aba is already hot. Ibadan is hot too..

The government approached this fire wrongly...[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Lol

I just know that the next few weeks would be violence filled

I just dey pity policemen wey dey inside those shanties they call police stations

The unemployment level has come home to roost[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I know you were clearly against the protests.

Which definitely means you were in support of the government intervening so you can have a stress-free passage on the roads

Well well, this is the method the government decided to use so you can go to work on time, and come back on time too

You clearly don't support the shootings, but at least the protesters have been dispersed.

At least, you can now go home early and come back early..[/color]

afrodoc2:
Military? not government?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If DjSwitch was not covering it live, I'm sure some people would have told us it wasn't true

Sanwo-olu may have just shot his political career in the leg.

Have you noticed that for once, Nigerians have shunned tribalism and religion to pursue a cause? Everywhere in the Southern Nigeria and FCT is hot hot

2023 would hit differently..May the dead rest in peace[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I already knew this all along

The BRT bus drama, the Prison break season 7...

All these were just strategies to make it look like the protests was no longer peaceful.

See as better Prado pack boys with sticks..But then, it was as if we were talking in the nonsense

Now to end it all, they started shooting at unarmed people

I mean, if you put a curfew, and someone violates it, is the penalty to kill?

They just wanted to end the protest by all means..It was actually peaceful from the beginning[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Thugs left with a Land cruiser Prado ( with number plates covered)

Let me guess...it's the peaceful protesters that are disguising

Don't bull shit me abeg [/color]

larride:
Oga, my position on this EndSar matter is well documented here so I don’t know what you are talking yapping about.

No victory you say, let’s check that out.

1. The IGP already announced the disbandment of SARS almost a week now.

2. The IGP says no member of the defunct SARS will be enlisted into the new tactical team.

3. The FG and the state government through NEC has agreed to set up Judicial panel in each state to investigate all cases of SARS abuse and Police brutality. According to the Supreme Court in Fawehinmi v IBB in 2003, only states can set up judicial panel. The FG can only set up for the FCT. Different states has started setting up Judicial panel. Both APC and PDP states.

Now let’s talk about what Lagos State Govt has done

1. All protesters that was arrested by police has been released unconditionally.

2. The Police officers that harassed protesters in Surulere have been arrested and currently going through orderly room trial. Even the victims has confirmed that its truly going on. After the orderly trial and if they have found guilty, they will be dismissed from the force after which criminal prosecution can start.

3. Lagos State has set up Judicial panel in accordance with the agreement state governors made with the FG. The panel was sworn in yesterday.

4. Lagos State has set up a restitution fund of 200m where victims of SARS and police brutality can get compensation from the state after the judicial inquiry.

5. Two Youth representative are meant to be on the Judicial panel but all the “supposed leaders or well known convener” of the protest has declined the invite to be on the panel. Falz says No, he will like to be on the sideline, Mrmacaronni says No while Banky W is looking for rep.

Lagos State govt has shown commitment to the demands of the EndSars, have invited the Youth to the table for dialogue and be part of the decision making but NO, let’s keep protesting.

No exit strategy, Just protest and insha allah. Now that thug has hijacked the protest and curfew declared in Lagos, Goodluck.

You can still disobey the curfew though and continue with your protest. Aluta continua

afrodoc2:
I have told you guys that that Nigerians are intuitively selfish and counter-revolutionary if not reactionary. People's individual interests will always get in the way of the goals of the larger group.

Those that have relatively decent jobs to go to and profitable businesses to run will soon silence the majority that have neither of these and that have suffered all sorts of abuse at the hands of a callous ruling class.

There are several levels to the suffering and smiling that Fela sang about.
