Can Rahama Sadau just relocate to the west and live a peaceful life. All these blasphemy talk from hypocrites mallams is just too overwhelming.

Later they will say children are insulting them. Is this one sensible at all?

There's no time there won't be a REVOLUTION. People will get to the point of Enough is Enough!!!

Enough of the stealing!
Enough of oppression!
Enough of public funds looting!
Enough of intimidation and brutalization!!!
Enough of exploitation!!!
Enough of the extra judicial killings!!!

All these and more. Nigeria is in trouble.

Can someone pls enlighten me about this so called toll gate.

Do residents of lekki and environs pay the toll on a daily basis while commuting around?

Is this toll gate on d government road or its a privately constructed road by LCC?

Is there any benefit of the toll route? Like shorter distance or less traffic?

What is revenue generated used for?

It hurts so much that they are in a hurry to av it reopened.

Wow! Impressive.

Mamman Vatsa was a soldier and a poet; a published poet in fact whose books were popular in primary schools. He was executed for leading the attempt to overthrow the government of his one time best friend ( yes best friend) and Military President Ibrahim Babangida. Why Major General Vatsa did not escape is beyond understanding.

It was on Friday December 20th 1985 that it was announced a coup to overthrow the government had been nipped in the bud. No further announcements were made that, but Vatsa was still a free man that Friday night. Infact he was a free man till Monday night when he was arrested at his Ikoyi, Lagos residence. Many people could not understand why he had not escaped out of the country.

According to his wife Sufiya, Armed men led by IBB's late ADC ( who would late be killed in the 1990 Orkar Coup) surrounded their house on Monday December 23rd and arrested the General.

The arrest of Vatsa the Minister of the Federal Capital Terrority , Abuja was not announced until a week after the coup was made public.

Ibrahim Babangida had been the best man at Mamman Vatsa’s wedding in 1960s and they had been friends most of their lives. But for some reason; Babangida had not involved Vatsa in the palace coup that overthrew the government of Mohammdu Buhari/Tunde Idiagbon. Vatsa had actually been on the Federal Government delegation to the Haji in Saudi Arabia. A delegation that was led by the strongman Major General Tunde Idiagbon. That trip according to historians had the hands of IBB in it; he did everything to ensure it was led by Idiagbon as he knew there was NO WAY Idiagbon would surrender to coupists without a gun fight.

After the IBB coup on August 27th, 1985; Vatsa waited a few days in Saudi Arabia before heading back. We may never know what he discussed with Idiagbon; but during the trial, there were allusions that Vatsa wanted to bring Buhari and Idiagbon back to power.
The trail commenced in early 1986 at a Special Military Tribunal headed by Major General Charles B. Ndiomu. One of the key points of the prosecution was a sum of N10,000 (worth probably $12,000 in 1985) given by General Vatsa to one of his fellow coupists Lt. Col. Musa Bitiyong.
At the trial,the prosecution said the money was intended to prepare for the coup; General Vasta insisted there was no coup and the money was a loan to Bitiyong to help him in his farm business.
It was also revealed that the initial meeting had held in Makuridi, Benue State and chaired by Bitiyong. Vatsa in fact did not at any time have any meeting with the other coupists.

There were many unfounded accusations including a plan by Vatsa to use aircraft to bomb Lagos to cause chaos AND to destroy Lagos, thus ensuring an immediate movement of the Federal Capital to Abuja which was then still under construction.
This was also the first and last coup that heavily involved the Air Force. All coups in Nigeria were Army affairs. Two of the accused were members of the Presidential fleet. Historians believe this made IBB to heavily punish the Air Force and cause it to loose funding and necessary equipment in subsequent years.
In March the tribunal gave its judgement and ten of the defendants were sentenced to death. Final decision laid with the Armed Forces Ruling Council ( AFRC) Whilst the Babangida administration was still extremely popular at that time and the coupist had little public support; there was a movement to appeal for mercy for Vatsa and his men.

Three popular literary icons: Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe and John Pepper Clark went to Dodan Barracks; the then seat of power to appeal for mercy.
The AFRC was scheduled to meet that night 5th March 1986 to decide on the appeals for mercy.
Then at 7pm; the Minister of Defence: Major General Domkat Bali addressed the nation to state the decision of the AFRC. He restated the offence of the men and the gravity of what they had done. The speech was not beyond the ordinary until the last few seconds when he uttered these words.

“ Those sentenced to death were executed about 30 minutes ago. In the military the penalty for treason is death”

EXECUTED 30 MINUTES AGO!!!! What? Already executed? The nation was still waiting for a decision. So basically the meeting ended around 5pm and the order was given to execute; no last meal nor final goodbyes.
General Vatsa is believed to have been wearing his white buba and sokoto and requested that his Bible, wedding ring and wrist watch be given to his wife. She was not allowed to see him throughout the trial, but their daughter Fatima was able to smuggle herself in with his defense lawyers and he sent them a note with the words : “Do not beg Babangida. He is after my life. Take care of the children. I know it is not easy but God will help you.”
Mrs Vatsa claims the ring given to her was not the Generals; it had been exchanged she alleged.

Rumors were rife for years that Vatsa was never killed, but smuggled to London by IBB to save his friend. Of course that was put to rest when Mrs Vatsa took IBB to the 1999 Oputa Truth Commission accusing him of murder.

One more oddity to the whole case were the words of General Domkat Bali in an interview twenty years later to TheNews Magazine. His words : ‘“My regret is that up till now, I am not sure whether Vatsa ought to have been killed because whatever evidence they amassed against him was weak. My only regret is that I could not say, don’t do it. I am not so sure whether we were right to have killed Vatsa.”

Can u imagine? #10,0000 was worth 12,000 USD. Ohh my Nigeria, my heart bleeds...
It shall not be well with all the bad leaders.
Ahh, karma will visit them all.

10,000 cannot even buy a bag of rice any longer. Smh

Why is it only you Ibos that were killed at the toll gate? Only Ibos names everywhere claiming death, that death una dey claim will claim you all

Pathetic fools

You are d disgraceful being. You should hide in shame! Tribalism kill u. We are all Nigerians and human beings whether you like it or not. Useless bigot. May karma visit you are ur mercenaries.

loopman:
The people that died and missing are all from SE and SS..

When the govt announced curfew, the yorubas complied and left the toll gate but these stubborn idiots from far away distance land defied the govt order

They should have killed more of these fools

Can u pls keep quiet if you have nothing reasonable to say? Tribalism kill you and you are d greatest fool here.
Nigerians died, not hausa, igbo, yoruba... human beings died! Stop this useless talk! Stop d insensitivity.

This is why Nigerians need to look inward even as we castigate bad governance.

An avg Nigerian will victimize others and abuse their office if given the opportunity and we are here screaming endsars. Is this woman not a SARS in her own home?

May all culprits of iniquity be exposed!

Ignore d Grandiot!
United we stand.

A homeless man man on the street without a clothes. Useless liars. Trying everything possible to indict the government.

God punish u

Your moniker says it all.

Adeyinka Grandiot lives in the UK and he's inciting u guys for a tribal war and you guys want to kill urselves?

You guys will just fight & kill urselves for nothing. Adeyinka won't fight and his family are secured in UK.

Please don't fall for his bait.
Even Tinubu no get power to give that kind order again. He has lost the respect of d people.

Adeyinka Grandiot is a big foo.l & speaking for himself and not the peaceful Yoruba's. IGNORE

humilitypays:
Madam Rita ignore Adeyinka, he is a hungry boy trying to do copy and paste of Kanu's style to gain popularity among stupid Yorubas cos the sensible Yorubas know that Adeyinka is a lunatic eating from UK's free welfare food. He can't even afford flight ticket outside UK.


If Tinubu gives such order then you can take it serious. Even that Lagos Agbero MC Oluomo is more relevant in Yoruba land than that charcoal colored Adeyinka Grandson


As for Nnamdi Kanu, he was a forgotten soul, an irrelevant fool until his fellow hediots Buhari and Burutai made him a superstar.


Nnamdi Kanu has been ranting on his one man Radio Biafra during Goodluck Jonathan regime and Goodluck ignored him like a fool he is, not until the wicked, uneducated cow herder Tinubu foisted on Nigerians thinking that would make him next President of Nigeria made Kanu global superstar through the senseless arrest, detention, invasion and murder attempt on Kanu's life that now seem powerful even though he is not.


Only foolish ipob touts listen to him and his foolish words anyway

Well said.

This is so refreshing. At least the doubting scalywags can shut up. Senseless patriots that have sold their conscience to evil leaders. Sufferheads

@NGpatriot

Don't be fooled, the governor has confessed to d killings.

Stop arguing blindly. The narrative would av bn different if the victims were ur relatives.

Interviewer: Was the army there, Yes or No ?
Jide Sanwoolu: I think the footage shows d army was there.
Interviewer: Why are the army denying it?
Jide Sanwoolu:They don't report to me.

Thats how a deceitful leader answer questions.
Wicked people. The massacre was premeditated.

Shame on them all!!!

Op edit d title o.

She didn't share names of dead bodies. She said she has names and phone numbers of other witnesses that were with her.
Stop spreading fake news!!!

I just pray there won't be a stampede.

Only bad governance will expose its citizens to such a treatment.

Food for d next couple of days.

NGpatriot:
...but only unscrupulous elements post fake news to deceive people.

The video depicts 2 people carrying a possibly wounded person to nowhere in the video.

There's nothing in the video showing them handing over dead bodies to any military, nothing

There's nothing in the video showing any military talkless accepting bodies from any body.


It's ok to peddle fake news to fool yourself, but don't expect other people to fall for your lies and deceptions, we have eyes and common sense.

Unfortunately, common sense isn't common afterall.

That's Selflessness

Day of reckoning for all wicked and selfcentred polithiefians that have stayed silent and watch the masses suffer.

No peace for the wicked.
Whatever you sow , you will reap.

If as a senator, you refuse to treat people that voted you into power right, then be ready to face the consequences.

This is just the beginning...

Lies from the pit of hell.
How long does it take to create an invoice or get it backdated to defend their stupid intent?

Of what use is a press conference when people are doing of hunger? Can u imagine the height of insensitivity to the plight of the masses?

Angelfrost:
Minimum wage is not even up to 30k in most states... Inflation has succeeded in making the middle class poorer, with businesses being stifled.

The worst part is under reporting from the media!!!... The conspiracy of silence among Nigeria media houses under Buhari is the worst thing I have seen since I was born!!!

It is a vicious cycle.

Media houses are owned by the govt, or pple who av sworn allegiance to the govt cos of selfish gain.

My dear, Buhari will be a Saint compared to the next government if something is not done now.

Its time to Action!!!
