I am speechless...

MyFlair:
Fool, so GEJ is now the problem. A northerner with indepth knowledge of northern Nigeria and has advocated for that region from God-knows-when is expressing his anger concerning the rising unrest in the region and you, probably a southern riff-raff is countering him by bringing up a man who was genuinely determined to end the insurgence even when the northern elders forum itself was against every attempt he made to end it. To the extent that Gen Ihejirika was petitioned against in the ICC, just because he was doing his job

You and your family members will soon be a victim of police brutality.

Sunnyja:
Why are you fooling yourself. "No body is denying the presence of the military that day" The military initially said they were never at the scene.
Does your "Nobody" not includes the military?! Now that evidence abound of the military presence you have changed tone to "nobody" said.....

Khayceeofficial:
Even if God releases a footage of everything that transpired at Lekki Tollgate...

This stupid government would still threaten to sue him

Pierocash:
when hundreds of shia Muslims were massacred in Kaduna by the evil and coward Nigeria army in Zaria,how many people came out to demand for their loved ones?

At least you are aware that Lagos state government admitted that 2 persons died, and several others injured and receiving treatment. If the army didn't shoot,what killed those 2persons? If they didn't open fire on people,what injured the injured?

It is common sense, if two persons died of gunshot, it means people were shot,and more than two could have died, if people got injured, means some others died. So what are they denying when the evidences are clear that there was shooting at the toll gate.

Most people may be afraid to come out to demand such, others may not have relative, to some, they may not be educated enough to know the right step to take .

But we have read two accounts of persons demanding for the where about of their loved ones after been to the protest in lekki and didt return.

Final verdict, people were shot at the toll gate by Nigeria army, and people died

SweetJoystick:
Firstly, the panel has no jurisdiction to even hear the case. The panel was instituted for SARS brutality and not the toll gate shooting. The federal and state governments are not serious about conducting an investigation into the event of that day.

DaBullIT:
Anyone ever called CNN fake news other than Trump?

Nigerians at least the sane ones believe investigations and reports from CNN because it's factual. If anyone ever doubted CNN it's because Nigerian media or the elites pushed out a narrative to rubbish the report

HopeUzodinma:
Bodies that have been buried by the soldiers? Everything would probably have been captured by the cameras.. ok, the cameras was switched off

OfficialAwol:
Even after the painstaking clarification I made? With picture evidence attached? You still said this?

Nah! Your problem defies reason.

Corona22:
Explain this away

DamZik:
Anything coming from APC and Nigeria Army is pure falsehood. Have they ever spoken a single truth in the past six years. The truth is opposite of whatever comes out of their programmed mouths. Buhari's and his people are possessed with the demons of lie. This is what you and everyone sane Nigerian know.

DamZik:
[s][/s]According to accounts of protesters, the deceased persons included two males; Folorunsho Olabisi and Anthony Okechukwu. His relatives have found Olabisi's body at the mortuary of St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos, with three bullet injuries.

Saint Nicholas Hospital in Lagos has denied admitting Folorunsho Olabisi, who is said to have been one of the protesters who demonstrated against police brutality under the #EndSARS campaign, at any of its facilities.

The young Nigerian allegedly went missing after the shooting at the Lekki tollgate on Tuesday.

Men dressed in military uniform had invaded Lekki tollgate where unarmed protesters gathered and shot at protesters.

Some protesters held their ground, while some scampered to safety, leaving many wounded while others were reported to have died from injuries sustained.

Since the shooting, conflicting reports have emerged on the actual casualties recorded.

On Sunday, there were reports that Olabisi was found by his relatives at the mortuary of St. Nicholas Hospital with three bullet wounds.

Reacting via its Twitter account, the hospital denied admitting the victim at any of its facilities adding that it had no mortuary.

“St. Nicholas Hospital fully identify with the current situation and our sympathy is with the victims of the unfortunate incident,” the tweet reads.

“However, false information, especially at these critical times, should not be encouraged. Please note that the said victim never presented at any of St. Nicholas Hospital facilities.

“Also, St. Nicholas Hospital does not have a mortuary, hence this news is false and should not be encouraged to trend further.”

Everybody seems to think it's a normal thing. So, please, if this question sounds foolish, I am sorry. But I still want to know because elders say that "those who ask questions don't miss their ways".

Why exactly is the Government seizing passports and freezing the accounts of #EndSARS participants and leaders even when the President and the governors have apparently been suing for peace? I've just read a piece of news that says that arrested #EndSARS protesters are to be bailed with the sum of N50,000 each.

Again, I'm sorry if I sound stupid. But I have to admit that I am utterly confused here. Are they being arrested for what? If it was said that people caught capitalizing on the protests to commit crimes were being penalized, I would have understood it. But to punish people just for leading or participating in the protests makes me want to ask, "what crime does a protest consist in?"

I was among the set of Nigerians that opposed GEJ in 2015 because of his failure to tackle corruption and insecurity. However, I failed to realise that he tried very well in ensuring freedom of speech, peace, and lacks nepotism. compared to this demonic regime, I will be glad if he contests and I will VOTE for him!

GodHatesBigots:
You seem to see an IPOB stamp on every Igbo man which makes you actually quite daft and unreasonable.

GodHatesBigots:
Do you wake up with IPOB on your mind ??

LaEvilIMiss:
GEJ deployed the 40-Laptop Crew - -FEMI ADESINA has more than 200,000 paid youths on social media including Nairaland, they have nothing else to do than to send DMs and friend request so they can get you details and forward to their paymasters
