madridguy: “The Defence Headquarters issued a statement to say that it was investigating the matter. Lagos State Governor has also set up a probe panel to investigate what really happened.
“So, the President couldn’t have said anything because it would be premature and presumptuous while investigation is ongoing. It is after investigation has been concluded that he can speak on the matter.”
A brilliant decision by Sai Baba.
Evil does not discriminate both good and bad people. If we do not condemn evil, it will eventually consume us randomly. Some gunshots in lekki triggered civil unrest. Both good and bad people were killed and lost their properties. Nobody is safe in the day of fury.
Xisnin: The most important evidence for the massacre would be the actual victims.
If u know meaning of state sponsored genocide, you will not be saying that. Anybody that believes government official statement in lekki killing should also believe carnage did not happen in Lagos after the incident and also should see all pictures and video as fake.
ehinmowo: 1. Which sensible country use live ammunition to disperse protesters? 2. It is the job of millitary to disperse unarmed protesters. 3. To what end is deploying soldiers to people who are expressing their concerns about bad system. 4. Has the right to freedom of protest as enshrined in section 40 of the 1999 constitution been expunged? It is right for government to disobey the constitution by tramping on the right of he people. 5 did government protect the protesters throughout the protests? And why are people employing thugs to attack protesters? 6. The DHQ said the videos were doctors, can you doctor a live footage? 7. Why did the military denied sending soldiers to scene if not that they are covering up murder? 8. Have you seen the video of NIgeria soldier shooting a man at the scene? 9. How much were you paid to be posting this rubbish?
What they do know is online propaganda cannot stop most uneducated people to discredit lekki massacre
Fulmigati: I'm one of the biggest critics of the Nigerian government and Nigeria as a whole but all evidence points to the fact that there was no Massacre in Lekki. When I first watched the video it looked to like the soldiers were firing warning shots in the air certainly not aimed at the crowd.
Nigerian soldiers are issued a standard M762 automatic rifle if that was let loose on a crowd that big their will be scores of dead bodies and it would take the soldiers quite some time to hide the evidence like some claim. Aside form the dead, there will also be lots of injured suffering various degree of gunshot wounds. Where are they? Where are people that suffered gunshot injuries from this massacre? Did the soldiers also kidnap them?
No doubt there were several injured and possibly killed but it was most likely was a result of the chaos caused by the firing of warning shots. I'm mean you can say the soldiers were indirectly responsible for those deaths, suit yourself.
Looting and destruction of lives and properties are photosopped
Afamed: Because the youths don't have their sense of reasoning?
You are a liar, your child will lie x1000 as adult . If you do not lie but your child lives with liar, he will lie x100 as adult. When I see hoodlums I see failed government I see failed society I see failed families. Elders keep lying to children. Elders keep looting. Elders keep using youths to kill. Monsters they made.
9jatriot: Even though the objective of the protest was called endsars, they got carried away and refused to leave the streets. They came up with a 5 point demand, hoping the government would refuse to listen to them, the government accepted to implement the demands. Still carried away by their new found power just like a lion that has tested blood for the first time, they started obstructing people from going about their legitimate businesses.
Concerned by their resistance, government even assured them that members of SARS would not be allowed to join the new SWAP, all members of SARS would face psychological evaluation, and there would be judicial panel of inquiries for all complains to be held across the different states. Still they refused to leaved, fuel by celebrities who usually showed up at such protest, took pictures and went back home. #wemove became a popular slogan.
It is only stupid elders that would ask soldiers to use live ammunition on harmless people . Youths learn stupidity from elderly ones by attacking innocent people. Elders should do things in right way and youths will adjust accordingly
Pecuman: Who did the Youths learn that behaviour from?
Is it not the elders that have been robbing the country blind since even before 1960?
You sow what you reap. The Elders sowed corruption and are now reaping a generation raised in corruption.
Perfect!! If demands of endsars protesters are not met and government thinks they have won the youths , Nation will experience more civil unrest in the future.
There can never be peace without equal right and justice. Youths learn from elderly ones. There are different types of looting. If you see a child misbehaving, he or she learns it from older ones.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3rb9PE11Po They came to my side ��� hoodlums came and they were attacking people'a houses and people's shops they even emptied the warehouse of one man that sells gas cooker� and they are still I here I pray they don't enter my house cuz I'm scared asf�
There can never be peace without equal right and justice.
JomoGbomo2: Beginning of October 2020 heralded the #endsars protest in Lagos, a clamor that has been on since 2017 due to the brutality of the police force on the Nigerian youths. The cause of this protest is very real and valid, while I may not have personally experienced it, I have witnessed so much brutality on the youth that sometimes I have to intervene.
The likes of Falz, Debo Macaroni and Aisha Yesufu amongst others spearheaded this round of protest and with the negative sentiments around the nation, they got the masses support including that of myself......and personally I still believe the cause is valid.
Saying the protest was peaceful is just trying to be politically correct; the protest was never peaceful but the protesters were unarmed; you cannot say the protest is peaceful when the protesters are denying you your rights to enter your home. You don’t protest a grievance by denying other people their rights and claim you are peaceful, that’s not peaceful. We all saw what the protesters did to other citizens (right) while they were going about their normal lives.
Between the 4th and 14th October, the FG repeatedly announced the disbandment of the notorious police unit SARS in different forms along with banning the police from checking phones and laptops of the youth. The FG largely accepted and acknowledged the 5 demands of the protesters and call for dialogues but the likes of Falz, Debo Macaroni and Aisha Yesufu insisted that they wanted a miracle.....Aisha specifically said she doesn’t belong to the table but on the street, I hope she is still on the street till now.
The stupidity of the protests was glaring at this point because it was clear that the protesters never had a realistic end game plan, they don’t know what the end should be. They kept on insisting for the government to EndSARS that already was disbanded. This was the lost opportunity for the fools above to sit with the FG and chart a direction towards a lasting solution to this monster.....alas their naivety and stupidity was brought to the fore.
20th October 2020, the demons we (40yrs and above) have always known Nigeria to be came out, the military in the command of our lifeless president Buhari unleashed terror on the unarmed protesters and the escalation is what we all witnessed; but the aftermath is what we will all live with.
I took a drive this morning along the lekki axis and saw the damages first hand and the first question was “does it really worth it?”. The many lives (both protesters and security personnel) lost, the many livelihoods lost and looted, buildings burnt, cars and properties damaged, does it really worth it?
If those fools above had sat down with the FG on the 15th of October after most of their demands have met, would all these have been prevented? the numerous jobs that are lost due to this carnage would that have been prevented.? the irony is that they will be happy to sit down now with the FG to discuss, something they would have accepted long ago to prevent all this.
Falz, Debo Macaroni and Aisha Yesufu et al, need to sit back and ask themselves if this is the outcome they were hoping for; they need to tell us if their plans include having “freed” criminals loose on the street possibly with stolen guns from the police. We always need to understand that Nigeria is unique and different, the solutions to our problems must be unique and different too; we cannot just hope/expect the outcomes of protest in other developed countries to be same in ours; it’s not possible because we have our own peculiarities which must be factored in our own quest for betterment.
Once again, I hope those fools above are happy with their outcome.
People said end police brutality, government replied with army brutality. Guns do not bring peace but destruction of lives and properties.
Soldiers killed and buried shia members in mass grave. Soldiers killed and hid corpses of ipob members Soldiers would not release corpses of lekki killings. It is part of operation crocordile smile, cyberware. This approach backfired in lekki shooting.
Lesson: soldiers should not be used to enforce law and order. That is not their training!!!! It will always end in tear and sorrow!!!!!!
please I need advice from all parents and Educators and parents on Nairanland. today I just realized my 3years old son cant even read Letters A to F talk less of A to Z but can read Figure 1 to 10, I am seriously worried.
I don't stay at home except for weekends as I am working outside my state, but due to the curfew I find my way back home yesterday so I was able to discover this problem in the early hours of today.
I know the mother is trying cos I have seen different live videos where she was teaching him and working on his assignment, most times I pity the boy so much because of the beating from his mum alone makes me sick but I can't really complain since I know is for his own good and I know how stressful it is for a mother with 2 kids to manage her time and all that....
I called his teacher immediately and she told me my son will be going to Nursery class when the present term is over due to his age, sadly she didn't say things I expect to hear from her so I told her I will visit the school once the curfew is over, I need explanation, is private school that bad these days ? my son can't even write 2 and 3
I have bought Video CD, bought many play book materials containing letters and figures displayed boldly, I bought counting and so on when he was 2 years so i expect a better result by now.
pls sir and ma, I need help on how to guide this boy to learn better, what should I do and how should I go about it.
Note: any time I am home, I always go through his books, assignments and read his school rhymes for him.
pls Help
concerned Daddy
He should be in playgroup not school. You are wasting his childhood by forcing him to read or write. Relax
slimanyd: Those paid buhari miscreants thinks they alone have the Monopoly of countering Every real evidences but they never knew foreign journalist was even on ground at lekki . The more they showcase there stupidity ,The more the secrets keep getting exposed daily.
There are some classified video clips that people must never see. If they are out, war may explode.
ensamy: A gunshot by Gavrilo Princip , killing Arch Duke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie. An ultimatum was sent to Austra-Hungarian empire to be answered within a short period.
Aninzevitus47: The protesters started with a good motive and idea but later turned to to a bloodshed. The #endsars protester present a five demands which the goverment agreed to actualized on octomber 18th but desipite this the protest continued without any reason with confused hagtags like #endnigeria #endbuhari etc. Coming to the tollgate shooting in lekki: the protesters are to be blamed for disobeying the curfew orders. Although the security shooting is not good but the protesters are to blamed in all angle. Q . Are these people still the peaceful protesters that the media potrays? Or hoodlums ? Coming to the Aba shooting: the protesters were armed with charms and weapon eg gun dagger etc even when the securitymen tried to scare them away by firing in the air but this people resisted and chased the securitymen away by firing back at them. Q . Are these people still the peaceful protesters that the media potrays? Or hoodlums ? Coming to the burning and killing of our gallant policemen: those policemen killed have families that depends on them for their survivals. These are not sars so why are they killing them . These policemen fires at the protesters as an act of self defence. I bet you that those people burning the police stations are nothing than criminals who has been arrested severally for committing alot of vices in the society. Q . Are these people still the peaceful protesters that the media potrays ? Or hoodlums ? Coming to the burning and looting of government properties, banks, shops etc: the looting and burning of tv stations banks shops etc are done by those people who feeds from hand to mouth. They have no savings because they are been paid at the end of the day. Who are those to suffer these ? You and i who are going to waste transport fares just to withdraw money from the banks and those who will lose their job because of this . Q . Are these people still the peaceful protesters that the media potrays ? Or hoodlum ? LET US ALL SAY NO TO THIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES UNDER THE NAME OF #ENDSARS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. R.I.P TO OUR GALLANT POLICE OFFICERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THIS. SAY NO TO HATE SPEECH AND VIOLENCE GOD BLESS THE GOOD CITIZENS OF NIGERIAN
A gunshot lead to world war 1. Some shootings in lekki lead to anarchy in most states. Soldiers or guns don't bring peace but destruction. World will not see peace if humans are still using guns or soldiers in stop protests.
LazyChef: We started this #EndSARS protest as Nigerian youths who were concerned by the alarming cases of POLICE BRUTALITY mostly carried out by the defunct members of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the NPF. This just cause did not only receive the needed national recognition. It was as well acknowledged and backed across the globe. The Presidency and the NPF dissolved the rogue police unit and commenced a reform of the force.
We were not satisfied and we agitated for more. We came up with five demands (5 for 5). These demands were approved by the NPF. The recent happenings in the past few days were a jailbreak that has been recorded with several Police Stations burnt shows that our earlier agitations and protests have been taken over by youths who do not mean well for us.
Hence, the time for us to withdraw, and allow the Government to deal decisively with these miscreants. The #EndSARS protest which was hitherto termed “peaceful” has in the past few days witnessed bloodsheds and wanton destruction of public properties thereby overriding the peaceful nature of the protest.
I am seriously battling to draw a correlation between peaceful protests and the killing of hapless Police officers, as well as the burning of vehicles and looting of shops of our fellow Nigerians.
Every well-meaning citizen will agree that this is no longer a peaceful protest but a deliberate ploy to by some outlaws to destabilize the country. This is the time to say no and reject these agents of destruction.

As the Yorùbá Nation continues to witness rampage on the Streets of Lagos, they are wondering what is going on. The troubling targeted arsons of some places in Lagos has been making everyone to wonder.
There has been many theories to explain who were the people behind the burning down of the assets belonging to the APC Leader, Alhaji Bola Tinubu and the palace of Oba Akiolu of Lagos.
But this was the undercurrent that investigation has revealed.
Currently, there is an on-going silent war of supremacy in NURTW in Lagos State. It is between the supporters of the notorious M. C. Oluomo and Kunle Poly for the leadership of the Union.
There has been a feeling among the Lagos indigenes involved in the Union that they are being shortchanged in all things under the auspices of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. His reported penchant to allegedly back foreigners against the interest of indigenes repeatedly was said to be infuriating.
Kunle Poly, an Ìsàlè-Èkó indigene was believed to have lost the leadership of NURTW to M. C. Oluomo because members of the Union were reportedly arm-twisted by Tinubu.
Tinubu was said to have initially preferred remaining neutral and allow the members make their choice of their own volition. But Seyi Tinubu had reportedly intervened on behalf of M. C. Oluomo and forced the hand of Bola Tinubu. Seyi's reason was that Oluomo has been loyal and had to be rewarded.
The supporters of Kunle Poly have not been happy about this situation.
Sources noted that Oluomo had actually shown magnanimity to Kunle Poly and was working together with him. But his (Kunle's) supporters were not assuaged. They were not satisfied.
It was these supporters who were determined to punish Tinubu for his role in installing M. C. Oluomo. Their grouse with Oba Akiolu of Lagos was that he (Akiolu) was seen as a traitor to the Ìsàlè - Èkó interests and was always supporting anything Tinubu did, no matter how hurtful such action was to their interests and fortunes.
The man who was seen in the video clip that went viral, carrying the Staff of Office of Oba Akiolu, is named Samson, an Ìsàlè-Èkó indigene. He is well known in the area and that was why nobody was bold enough to challenge him.
Samson who has been a vociferous supporter of Kunle Poly, is also the Lord of Manor at Oluwole where he supervises "owó ilè" collection. He is not an unknown quantity.
The invasion and looting of Oba Akiolu's palace seemed strongly connected to his roles in this mess. The invaders only used the current crisis as cover.
It could not be established if this had any connection with the attacks on Bola Tinubu owned companies/establishments in Lagos.
