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.

But CNN was not even there!! How can they shoot for hours and you can’t find any dead bodies and multitude of injured persons on the ground?

Ausmos:
It's unfortunate we are where we are today. Peaceful protest demanding for better governance and brighter life for Nigerian youths turned bloody by the wicked people in government. CNN, after intense investigation came up with facts to support the claim that there was massacre. Only for the heartless people to spew this rubbish rather than put up strong arguments with evidence to refute the claim.
But then this is Nigeria, what should one expect?
You sent to soldiers to harmless protesters for what in the first place?
God will judge as many who are complicit in this matter

You can convince me that there was a massacre when you produce the bodies with fatal gun injuries and/or a verifiable list of names and details of the dead and the injured and/or interviews with the families of the dead and the injured.

You cannot have a massacre without any of these. Why is this so difficult if you are indeed truthful?

muller101:
Getting married from the same family? This is insane

In your culture perhaps . But who cares?

onyechez:
Am talking about the civil war between the SOUTH EAST OF NIGERIA and the federal government in collaboration with the British government.

The civil war started on January 15th 1966, when Military Officers from a certain tribe decided to wipe away all the senior military officers and most senior political officers from other tribes including the Prime Minister and regional leaders. They preserved the Military Officers and top politicians from their own tribes. That was the beginning of the war and we know who fired the first shots on that Friday night.
July 1967 was erroneously believed to be the beginning of the war.

Rugaria:
It actually takes some nerve for a product of a culture full of miscreants to accuse decent folks fighting for their rights of being "miscreants".

Decent folks indeed. With the terrorists leader calling his brainless followers to kill soldiers and policemen and to kill certain named politicians and governors and to steal arms and kill and this for you is decency ?

Ahmad62:
This is insanity and pure wickedness....

In your lawless mind

onyechez:
No , some part of the country has asked for it peacefully in the past but they were treated with lethal force and called criminals. The FG should start from there if they're sincere then the rest part of the country will separate peacefully.

No part of the country has formally asked for separation, but some terrorists Group have been disturbing the peace in a number of communities. No government will tolerate miscreants.

onyechez:
Settle what? Time will come this country will surely separate . Do you know how many private indigenous companies that has been refused license to operate or own oil wells in the Niger delta state?

We all welcome separation.

amerengues:
Hmmm
This piece lacks coherence and cohesion. As much as attempt is being made to illuminate on the issue, it hasn’t broached the bone of contention.
It doesn’t capture the issue that led to the highbrow raised by Oil producing states. Will the government permit the same for Oil regions in Nigeria?

Of course many would prefer to believe in fake news and rumors than listen to the facts. I see the above information as the fact and can be further pursued and fully verified. But for those whose objective is the to cause mayhem, hatred and destruction, the fake news from unknown sources are sweeter .

The vandals disguised as protesters. You want to bring down an elected government by thuggery. A defeated presidential candidate wants to change of government through violence.
It will not happen, we shall be in abuja to teach you sense. The destruction that happened in lagos will not even start there.

MrALIVE:
YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU ARE STILL IN LOVE WITH YOUR OPPRESSORS

A failed politician wants to take over government by thuggery. It will never happen. Let him return to the ballot box.
We shall be in Abuja to teach him sense.

Mursz:
The term man simply suggest or designate any or even all of the human race regardless of their sex or age. In traditional usage, man itself refers to the species or to humanity (mankind) as a whole.

Pun intended. But your explanation is in order especially on NL where ignorance is like 5&6.

doggedfighter:
Is this the only picture he has ?
Will his height affect his di.ck size too? Just wondering

Stop fantasizing

And the ignorant wicked protesters set his statue on fire, just one month to his birthday.

Mursz:
Animals in this world.... man’s cruelty to man. Wickedness everywhere.

But this is a woman na !

What do you mean “NEARLY ”?
All these attention seeking Pastors .

theFilmtric:
Africa was once the wealth capital of the world.
Now it is the poverty capital.

theFilmtricsay

Africa is still the wealth capital of the world but Africans are the picture of poverty.

I hope he will not come out and deny having anything to do with this story or to say that , it was a film shooting scene .

Davash222:
Only a foolish and insane nonentity will vote for APC in the next general election.

Only a foolish and insane Party/voter will entrust Nigerian Presidency to IPOBs.

vanbonattel:
Fabricated information to deceive the gullible. They keep on announcing fake news without any substance, no picture, nothing.

They will wake up and release this same news again 10 times in 2021, yet the terrorists will be there killing innocent people.

IPOBs are unhappy with any achievement by the Nigerian Military.

An Urhobo officer General David Akpode Ejoor introduced the Islamic (Arabic) inscription and the Star emblem into the Nigeria Army crest. Meanwhile, Reno and co have been lying and spinning everything upside down since.

I think this is worth reading...

There was this controversy on the "Islamic" writings and "Star of David" on our military badge... Here, General David Akpode Ejoor explains in detail how he incorporated these symbols. I hope this puts to rest the unnecessary misunderstanding and dust it gathered when some folks raised the issue.

Page 16 of his autobiography has details...

" In the colonial days, the cap badge of the army was a palm tree. This could be interpreted to represent the wealth of the country which the British were to exploit. For that reason, the palm tree had to go. Besides, the Action Group party had a palm tree as its symbol, and it was important that the army and a political party should not have the same symbol. My job was to seek a new meaningful design for the cap badge of the Nigerian Army. I set to work."

"In seeking a new design, I was anxious that the symbol should reflect the duty of the army and should be capable of inspiring officers and men. As I searched, I remembered the battle between the British and the Sokoto forces in 1903. At that battle, the Sokoto forces had carried the Sultan's flag with an Arabic inscription on it. That Arabic inscription I learnt meant, "VICTORY IS FROM GOD ALONE". This, I thought was an excellent symbol that had meaning and could inspire. What is more, the British had themselves incorporated the symbol into the regimental colour which the Nigerian Regiment carried on parade. I decided to incorporate the Arabic INSCRIPTION INTO THE CAP BADGE TO REPRESENT DEFENCE..."

Next, I searched for a symbol that would depict unity. I found and answer in Lugard's interlaced triangles which he designed at the amalgamation to represent the coming together of NORTHERN and SOUTHERN NIGERIA. In choosing this symbol for the Nigerian Army cap badge, I hoped it would remind the Nigerian Soldier that his duty was to defend the unity and integrity of his country. I now had two symbols representing DEFENCE AND UNITY."

Now, for something that could inspire the army in it's task of defending the nation, I landed on the idea of the Eagle. Again this was not original. The nation had chosen the eagle as national emblem. The eagle is a powerful bird, indeed, the king of birds. It thus represented strength. The eagle had a reputation, when once had located it's prey, of swooping and striking swiftly, accurately and decidedly- qualities which the Nigerian army should strive to achieve.

Having decided on these symbols, my next task was to get an artist to put them together into a unified design for the cap badge of the Nigerian Army. This was eventually done. Then I was required to defend my design before the ministerial committee.

The committee was made up of three Ministers.

1: Muhammadu Ribadu (Defence)
2: Festus Okotie-Eboh (Finance)
3: Yar'adua (Works and Housing).

It was awe-inspiring to have to appear before these great names of the First Republic. I had to defend the design. I remember that was when I got to the interlaced triangle, Ribadu and Yar'adua exchanged glances and showed some concern. Now I know why. The interlaced triangles also represented the star of David- the symbol of Israel. This alarmed the two Muslim ministers. Fortunately for me, there was the Arabic inscription. This, although at the time I was not thinking in terms of Islam and Christianity, my design happened to incorporate symbols that could be associated with those two religions. Just as well, perhaps. At the end of my defence, the design was approved. I thus left a permanent mark on part of the uniform of the Nigerian Army. This is a rare privilege for any serving officer. I thank God for affording me that opportunity...

Islamic also on Army logo

Yes, and Star of David as well.

PlayerMeji:
When Christians are killed in South Kaduna, Jos etc daily.. why won't they claim 'largely Muslim population..'

The claims of Christian selective killing has a major conspiracy behind it. Is it a CAN agenda? Perhaps:

THREE ARRESTED IN KADUNA FOR SPREADING FAKE NEWS OF IMPENDING ATTACK!

Residents of a Christian village, Ungwa Kwaki village, in Jema'a local government area of Kaduna state, were called on phone by some people identifying themselves as Fulani herdsmen and informing the villagers that they should expect an attack within days, which caused many of the residents including women and children to flee their towns. The authorities and the Military swung into action and through intelligence, they have arrested the suspects in Sabon Kaura village of Zangon Kataf in southern Kaduna, who disguised as herdsmen. The three teenagers, Joel Luka, Emmanuel Daniel and Sylvester Daniel, have all confessed to the crime!

THE TRUTH REVEALED

Brigadier General Ahmed Ibrahim Taiwo gave a three-hour testimony, on his feet, before the Lagos Judicial Panel of Enquiry on EndSARS Protest and the roles played by the Nigerian Army.

He reiterated that no one died in Lekki. That the Army fired blank ammunitions (cartridges), which are not lethal (killing), in the air. Froam autopsy report, the only confirmed person that died did not die as a result gunshot wounds.

Also, he said the Nigerian Army had bigger fish to fry than to be looking for DJ Switch for arrest. This means DJ Switch is inconsequential to the Army. Therefore, the serial liar should come out of her hiding and go to the Panel to substantiate her claims that 15 people died.

Finally, he revealed that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu invited the Military to intervene, because the Police had been overrun. He expressed his utmost disappointment at the cowardly dispositions of the Governor for not owning up that he invited the Military. I can't really understand why Governor Sanwo-Olu is being evasive in owning up. "The Governor had very good reasons to invite the Military", he stated.

General Taiwo spoke nothing but the truth. I am really impressed. I am happy. The truth is finally out. The EndSARS lawyers were so impressed to the extent that their lead counsel, Mr Ogunlana, had to call the Nigerian Army THE PEOPLE'S ARMY OF NIGERIA. General Taiwo will be cross-examined on Tuesday.

If you are not satisfied with the opinions of the EndSARS counsels, take your miserable EndSARS placards to the Panel and be shouting EndSARSNow!

God bless the Nigerian Army. God bless Nigeria.

The most important fact in General Taiwo’s account to the Panel is that , THERE WAS NO MASSACRE AT LEKKI TOLL GATE , NO BODY WAS SHOT. Why concentrating on a less relevant issue of who invited the military?
The fake story of massacre was what was leading to the destruction of the whole country and it caused disgust and shock around the world, and the story was fake , there was not a single person that died of gunshot injuries.

offiong187:
So APC has promised him that presidency will be zoned to south east? If he believes that then he is a fool

There is no zoning in APC. All candidates , all over Nigeria have to come out and contest, that is democracy.

Truth Revealed

This is Brigadier General Ahmed Ibrahim Taiwo. He gave a three-hour testimony, on his feet, before the Lagos Judicial Panel of Enquiry on EndSARS Protest and the roles played by the Nigerian Army.

He reiterated that no one died in Lekki. That the Army fired blank ammunitions (cartridges), which are not lethal (killing), in the air. From autopsy report, the only confirmed person that died did not die as a result gunshot wounds.

Also, he said the Nigerian Army had bigger fish to fry than to be looking for DJ Switch for arrest. This means DJ Switch is inconsequential to the Army. Therefore, the serial liar should come out of her hiding and go to the Panel to substantiate her claims that 15 people died.

10 year old kids dont build houses for their parents. What does she know about money to be building houses at that age? This could all be a PR stunt

The house is perhaps for Emmanuella and her mother built as her wish and handled by her minders.
I want to quote the late but well known controversial African statesman, and this quote applies to all of us:

Fahdiga:
The whole world needs to rise up and defend humanity. Nigerian government cannot kill their citizens and go Scot free. justice must be served

They want to debate fairy tales and fake news, so UK parliament as redundant as Nigerian Parliament.
