He should start by demolition Atiku’s House and his private University nearby in Yola, before he comes to Boni Haruna and Murtala Nyako’s mansions and down to all what corrupt politicians built in Adamawa State. They are all full of looted goods.

I thought Awolowo was always stern , bitter, severe and unsmiling.

But the sculpture gave him a wintry smile that is just perceptible.

tuoyoojo:
This madness has to stop.

This is sheer wickedness and foolishness

What is the economic and political benefit of stealing or vandalizing the statue

To cause outrage and create breakdown of law and order and instigate a violent overthrow of government.

That was the plan of the protest organizers.

According to Loony Kanu, the hunchback fugitive albino and self appointed Dictator of the Igbo race.

Meanwhile:

ivolt:
Stop recruiting thieves.

As we can see , the majority of Nigerians are thieves. All the others on that video should be arrested as well.

I believe he was reported by thieves that were looting the stores.

IPOBs fleeing lagos, relocating to Kano. May their souls Rest In Peace.

Breaking Stores and Looting the Covid 19 Palliatives all over the Country. We conclude that this is the result of poverty and hunger.But Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Katsina, Gombe, Bauchi, Yobe, Borno, Jigawa and Kano have not reported incidences of looting yet. What is the common denominator? Are they not the poorest of states? Are they not the most troubled states?
Are they not the breeding place of Almajiri? Are they not the most backward educationally? Are they not the bulk of Nigeria's unbanked population? Are they not the most financially excluded? The answer is ;their values are possibly not as eroded as it is somewhere, or possibly they have contentment and have not surrendered completely to the material world? We should seek for answers and learn. May Nigeria be great, may Nigeria be united. Copied

And they encourage you to kill your own policemen

Tolerance Becoming Crime

By Dr Chinedu Akabuike

1. Why do we hate Tinubu? What for?

2. Tinubu never worked with federal or Eastern Nigeria let alone stealing money from Ndi Igbo.
He never worked as Minister or taken any Federal Appointment!

3. He never joined APGA let alone sabotaging our Party's interest?

4. Tinubu didn't meddle in Igbo internal affairs either!

5. Why do we call him thief? What did he steal?

6. We call Yoruba "slaves". We never reflect on what it means to be slaves in the true sense of the word.

7. We are putting mouth in Lagos politics without caution, yet we have a proverb that says it is the foolish housefly that follows the corpse into the grave.

8. Can Yoruba man become an Association or Local Government Chairman in the East? Let us be sincere with ourselves. Yet we enjoy all these privileges here including Assembly Membership!
9. Why asking for what we can't give?

10. We are here helping the "slaves" to develop their land. Who then is a slave?

10b. You call their city a no man's land so that we can further be enslaved slaving to develop it, and our generations are wasted gloating over mere privileges. Who is a slave. Do we actually think?

11. Can Yoruba tell Okorocha "o to gee" in Owerri? He doesn't even need it. He is too intelligent to die for a pot of ofe manu or nothing.

12. After the civil war, for many of us who were old enough to have witnessed it, the Yoruba were the first to open their arms to receive and accept us as we were, crude savages in search for means of survival. It was regardless of what we equally did to them before and during the civil war. No party to the civil war was innocent! I also remember not paying any rent among Yoruba guys without a penny for my first 3years in Lagos and another 2 years in Ibadan.

13. Can we survive Yoruba attack in Yoruba land if they actually mean to? Will an Mbaise man cooperate with the Nsukka or Afikpo, or the Imo with Anambara?

14. If we all decide to relocate at once, Babangida send me home phenomena is still in the memory of some of us who survived the incessant and uncontrollable spate of robbery across the Onitsha bridge. How many people will want to go in spide of our empty pride?

15. If Yoruba people are as foolish as we foolishly think, why agitating? How will agitating be to our benefit?

16. Why not "O to gee" in Abia, Enugu or Owerri?

17. Can a man from Aba become a Commissioner or P.S. in Enugu State Civil Service? Yet it happened here! Why not be careful.

18. We adopted APGA and but "wisely" voted PDP. How was Tinubu our headache. Was he the cause of our downfall? Why always blame others for our inabilities and want to take glory for any small thing we think we have done well and even overblow it?

19. We claim we were so creative during the civil war. Now history. We also claim every made in Nigeria is from Aba. But go to Oyo and Oshogbo to see what "lazy" mechanics are doing quietly in the automobile industry, yet we make noise that other ethnics are either mumu or lazy except we (alagbara ma mero baba ole; the most hardworking humans who cannot develop their own land unfortunately).

20. Why looking for avoidable problem? Why?

21. It was you in the North being attacked, in Malaysia being killed, in Gabon and Ghana being molested. 99.9% of Nigerians killed in South Africa are of Igbo extraction, and sometimes by fellow 'hardworking' Igbo. Why?

22. We choose Kanu and he dictates to us without consultation with any one of us. They choose Tinubu who becomes a hero among them by bowing to or adopting the choice of their majority. Why are we angry?
We choose Azikwe and they choose Awolowo. How are they more mumuish followers than ourselves?
Zik became a president and we gained from it, Awo was only a premier, but we are only struggling to beat their records in all ramifications including education till today. How are they mumus?
We choose APGA and they choose APC, why agitating?
Yoruba are yet to say Tinubu is their problem why do we want to die for nothing?
Why working in APGA but planning to collect salaries in APC?
I pray for the success of Biafra, but do we still remember that as Igbo we will automatically become foreigners on the streets of the Lagos we call a no Man's land?
How many of us will actually want to relocate home, should Biafra actualises obr if if citizenship is on the condition that you relinquish all other citizenship in Africa? I leave that answer to the individual.

Nwayo nwayo biko unu.

richie240:
Wow!
If I hadn't bn on ds streets for quite sometime now, I'll have thot ur account was hacked!
My broda, nothing whatsoever justified what those demons did to our leaders, heritage and properties under any guise.

There's a saying that "hate d plater, not d game".
If anyone has anything against tinubu/anyone for that matter, d law courts are there!
Should we now puncture a ship on d high sea just because we hate d captain when its clear that those inciting us against ourselves have dirtier cupboards themselves.

Now dt d enemies of the state has done their work, who is stranded at d busstops? Tinubu?
The same tinubu DT was tried and acquited under gej's PDP administration is d ones we've allowed d children of mischief poison pur minds against?

Yoruba's, when are we going to look at the broader picture and be (truly) pan-yorubas just as d others also stay loyal to their ethnic causes (most times) above national causes?

Hang them all

Men in Adamawa and Taraba protect your manhood. Use whatever security system you can afford. Believe me, your wife will not think twice before severing it.

Charmingrascal:
They will never learn!

It is not easy to be a policeman these days. It is survival, it is who blinks first . If I was a Police man I would be ready to use my weapon. I have seen so many pictures of policemen, dead and mutilated. I have a wife and small children. I will definitely shoot to stay alive.

Dreadful:
Biafra kill you there fool.
So police men weren't killed across the country during the protests? Idiot!!
Gather your 3,000 soldiers from 82 division Enugu, we will welcome them with open arms but upon their stay they fire any shot at any unarmed civilian all of them will die there.
Get ready to write and gossip ohhh... What is coming will be unimaginable.
Any policeman that shoots on any protest anywhere in Nigeria will be lynched and killed and their police station burnt down.

IPOBs and Chest beating. They told you to leave Lagos , why are you still hanging around?

LeitaP:
These (hoodlums) are criminals using this moment to unleash their vendetta against our law enforcement officers/police stations.
I call on the security forces to extinguish any arsonist heading to the police stations.
They aren't endsars protesters.

They are the same my friend. The true # ENDSARS protests ended on the 11th October when the Government conceded to the demands and banned SARS.

haiti007:
Paid loyalist will come and say that it is two people that the governor mentioned how is it a massacre?
Dear sane nairalanders, you don't need to argue with anybody to prove a point.
Human being life is precious to me, even if it's just a person that was killed, it's still precious to me. It can be anybody. It can be one's family.
[/b]

You’re are right about the value and sacredness of human life, no doubt about that.

But in your inner conscience do you think it is right to falsify the number of deaths and claim massacre for clandestine reasons?

The mayhem and destruction resulting from these lies did claim more lives and caused unbelievable size of destruction, and you think that is right?

1.President Buhari gave the state governors bailouts to pay salaries, your governors looted it instead.

2. He refunded Paris club debt to Governors to enable infrastructural development in the States, they still ended up looting it.

3. The President ordered local government autonomy to bring governance to the grassroots, your governors resisted it.

4. He granted judiciary and legislature autonomy to enable accountability and transparency in the state, these same governors thrashed it.

5. Finally he supplied massive palliatives from the Federal Government and from Private Organizations to cushion the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown, your governors stocked them in warehouses.

Yet this man is your problem. He meant well for us but his government is sabotaged by your Governors. The criminal Governors will never allow Nigeria to develop no matter what the President is doing.

Your hate for him is not allowing ou to be objective and to hold your immediate leaders and State governors responsible.
One thing I know for sure, posterity will judge us all and he will surely be vindicated.

God Bless the President

God bless Nigeria

My heart goes to this mother, I do sympathize with her but actually wished that like the other cases this one will be a hoax. I wish she would come in the next few days to aplologise and tell us that her son is alive and well. Amen.

It is certainly not 78 dead as the mischief makers reported earlier on. But even one person’s death can be described as a massacre within a united community.
If it comes out as fact ( God forbid) that this young man is actually dead, and from the Lekki Toll Gate confusion of last Saturday. The total death would be up to 3.

GTkester:
You see a big problem with buhari is his illiteracy, but the biggest problem he has is the horde of unintelligent Fulani fellas he's surrounded with. How anybody in the world of 2020 will deny a deliberate MASSACRE by the military and thinks he/she can deceive the world about it is just beyond me.

Does Buahari and those his army of unintelligent almajiris think the world is Katsina or Ira-agbiji in Osun state where you throw wads of #200 note to voters and get them to do your will?

In 2018, during the drive of Fulani terrorists genocide in the middle belt region, Buhari sent his online urchins to deny that what was going on is a genocidal attempt by the Fulanis, rather that it is a casual farmers/herders clashes. But most Unfortunately despite the fact that lives where lost these online urchins accepted a token of blood money in order to deny what was obvious. But did that deceive the world? Absolutely NO! Just a year later the US slammed him (Buhari) with charges of ethnic cleansing, put many govt officials on travel list, placed Nigeria on speciasl watchlist and now they about sanctioning Nigeria officially.

Any intelligent person seeing what happened in 2018 would have adviced the ingnoble regime of Buhari to thread softly, but no, the almajiri north who do not have any bit of sense urged him to shoot at armless protesters. Now that the videos of the military massacre are everywhere the same thinkless almajiris are try hard to deny it. But not so fast! The world doesn't start and end on the internet. Already many civil societies, including Amnesty international and others have submitted petition to the US state department giving account of what transpired that day, and even the videos taken by DJ Switch must have been carefully scrutinized, many evidences have also been culled and checked and now the verdict is that there was a MASSACRE at Lekki tollgate.

So for the BMC crew and the pay per post online warriors, I tell you, you've only to enjoy the monies you are paid, after all it's yours. But tell your ogas the truth that next time they should tread cautiously, because this world is not the same as when Obasanjo committed the Odi massacre, nor is it the same as the time of the Nigerian civil war.

A lot has changed and if buhari doesnt change course, best believe the next protest will consume him and Nigeria.

Have the Yoruba People forgiven the Igbos for the barbaric mayhem they unleashed on Lagos in the last 5 days ?

The rampage and destruction that has crippled the economy of lagos and of course the sacrilege and abomination subjected to the Oba of Lagos , his properties and his palace by these ingrates?

Have they started returning to their tiny erosion ridden enclave somwhere in the eastern forest?

The problem of these cowards is their chest beating and arrogance. Now they are running helter skelter to be allowed to stay in Lagos.

You must be one of them.

Just look at the hateful bigoted nonsense you wrote about other Nigerians and you always lack the courage to accept responsibility for your witless and mindless pronouncements and actions.

The military is a regimented Organization where order and hierarchy are sacrosanct. This is the same all over the world and through out history. You can’t undermine your country by supporting insurrection and call yourself a soldier. The guy is a saboteur and he should be court marshaled and punished.

Soldiers should not be allowed to feel that they can undermine the country. They are not conscripts and are free to leave the army and join the Hoodlums protesters.

Talking about mass killing and torture of unarmed civilians, and human right abuses, Just 3 examples below. You can easily extend the list to 100 for the US alone not even counting the slave trade.

1. The United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. The two bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only uses of nuclear weapons in armed conflict.

2. During the early stages of the Iraq War, United States Army and Central Intelligence Agencypersonnel committed a series of human rights violations against detainees in the Abu Ghraib prisonin Iraq,[1] including physical and sexual abuse, torture, rape, sodomy, and murder.[2][3][4][5] The abuses came to public attention with the publication of photographs of the abuse by CBS News in April 2004. The incidents received widespread condemnation both within the United States and abroad.[6]


3. The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison located within Guantanamo Bay Naval Base,[1] also referred to as Guantánamo, GTMO, and "Gitmo" (/ˈɡɪtmoʊ/), which is on the coast of Guantánamo Bay in Cuba. Indefinite detention without trial and torture have led the operations of this camp to be considered a major breach of human rights by Amnesty International and a violation of Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments of the United States Constitution.[2]

Awol1:
What will zombies say now?

What will these cows do now that their herder has admitted what they have been running pillar to post to deny?

Did he say who killed them ? Obviously the soldiers and the police were killed by protesters a.k.a Hoodlums.

The civilians were killed by the arsonists on rampage, burand destroying banks police stations , shopping Centres , TV houses , industries, cars and trucks . The thousands of prisoners released by the protesters joining in the looting and destruction and killing.

Please note that the use of the words “Hooligans” and “Hoodlums” are just a polite way of referring to the protesters. There is no difference between all the three names especially from the release of fake news of massacre on Tuesday.

Fake News: Nigerians in Diaspora seek withdrawal of statements by the UN, US```

October 23, 2020

The Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group (NDMG), Ohio, United States, have called on the United Nation, United States, United Kingdom and other nations to withdraw their statements that appeared to taunt the Nigerian government over the Lekki tollgate shooting.

With overwhelming evidence now rubbishing supposed massacre in Lagos state, the NDMG said it is logical for the international community to apologise to the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.

The Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group made this known in a statement signed by its President, Erasmus Kuti on Friday.

Like the rest of the world, the NDMG admitted that it reacted with disgust over the alleged shooting of peaceful #EndSARS protesters by the Nigerian Army.

However, it said that sentiment changed after the actual picture of the incident surfaced.

According to the group, the peddlers of the fake news carefully “planned, selected, manipulated and curated the photographs and videos that were used to mislead key decision-makers across the globe.”

While mourning lives lost in the violence that erupted afterwards, the NDMG said all actors in the ugly saga must be held to book.

The group said the country has been the hapless victim of fake news, hence the need for nations to withdraw their earlier statements.

*Read the full statement below*

The Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group, Ohio Chapter – United States condemns in its totality the use of fake news by protesters to discredit the Federal Government of Nigeria and Nigerians over the so-called Lekki Massacre, which emerging evidence are now disproving.

Like other distraught people and organizations worldwide, NDMG-Ohio had expressed its outrage on the night of Tuesday, October 20, 2020, when the so-called massacre took place because it had believed that the Nigerian Army fired into the protesters.

We have however found out upon further probing that we were sold a lie, especially after the Governor of Lagos state confirmed that there was no death resulting from the incident.

We had, with trepidation, expected to be confronted with images of a killing field by the dawn of the following day, but all that was available to see were the recirculated videos of soldiers shooting into the air.

When pressed for further evidence, the people we contacted redirected us to photographs that turned out to be that of an actor carrying a female draped in Nigeria flag and that of another actor in the National Youth Service Corps uniform.

Some of the other images turned out to be those of accidents victims that were unconnected with the shooting.

The bottom fell out for us when some of the people we have tallied as killed at the Lekki Toll Gate turned up alive and refuting news of their demise as the handiwork of evil-minded people.

Furthermore, the NGO that championed the story about the removal of CCTV camera before the attack, EiE through its leader, Yemi Adamoleku has recanted and now admitted that what was removed from the Lekki Toll Plaza before the pandemonium was license plate verification cameras that the operators of the facility took away for safekeeping when they got words that the protesters had concluded to vandalize the structure the following day.

Even the electricity outage that triggered the pandemonium has now been flagged as potential sabotage carried out by criminally minded people among the protesters while questions are now being asked if some people within the protest shot into the crowds since the soldiers were only seen firing into the air.

We find it appalling that the entire world was thrown into a Federal Government of Nigeria-hating hysteria because of a well-coordinated campaign of fake news.

Those who ran this attack of fake news did not do it as an afterthought, but they had carefully planned, selected, manipulated and curated the photographs and videos that were used to mislead key decision-makers across the globe.

They had also positioned celebrities and activists that were commissioned to trend the misleading multimedia.

Unfortunately, major partners of Nigeria – United States, United Kingdom, Canada, the United Nations amongst others have announced decisions based on the lies amplified by the fake news.

It is sadder still that old ethnic wounds were reopened in the aftermath of the Lekki incident, leading to an orgy of arson that targeted the property and business interests of certain persons.

Our thoughts are with families who lost loved ones and those that have sustained injuries since the #EndSARS protests began.

We believe that no human life should be wrongly lost on account of any incident, not even when the person is guilty of what is erroneously called ‘capital crime’; we also fully identify with the legitimate demand for an end to police brutality and had expressed our support for same.

But all actors in this ugly saga must hold those who instigated and promoted violence to account irrespective of what excuse they hide under.

Side by side with addressing the demands of the protesters, authorities should hold those that engaged in arson or caused the loss of life to account in addition to punishing any errant soldier or police caught abusing people’s rights.

We, therefore, demand that the Federal Government works with the Lagos State government to unravel what transpired at Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020, because it was the night some criminals almost left us without a country.

NDMG-Ohio further calls on the United Nations, United States, United Kingdom, Canada and all international partners to withdraw their earlier statements that criminalize the government and people of Nigeria as there was no massacre at Lekki Toll Plaza or any other location in Nigeria.

The country has rather been the hapless victim of fake news.

ridbell01:
don't worry by the Special Grace Of Almighty You will personally experience what those at Lekki tollgate experienced, you will soon experience what those in Zamfara experiencing daily and those in southern Kaduna

You have not answered the questions.

freeborn02:
Eye witness report has it that the soldiers carried the bodies away

Whose bodies? Can you list the names of the missing persons? Where are their relatives?

Can the relatives come forward so that the Nation can mourn with them?
