dre11: FACT-CHECK: Did Desmond Elliot call for social media regulation as widely claimed? There's nowhere in the speech where Mr Elliot advocated 'social media regulation in Nigeria'.
Ishilove: Some days back, the Nigerian social media users were dragging Desmond Elliot like Tiger generator because he tagged the youths as children. I was a bit indifferent about the whole brouhaha because wetin I dey think big pass all that noise and after watching the now infamous video, my indifference did not change.
Desmond later came out to apologise in tears for calling us yoots 'shidren', and while I was wondering aloud on this forum what the whole fuss about, my friend told me offline told me this-
"The problem is that the Nigerian social media space is now a lynch mob. Nobody is ready to listen to common sense, people are incapable of comprehending simple ideas and people are very intolerant of any view that does not agree with theirs
People are reacting to Desmond Elliot's video based on what they think he said, not based on what he actually said"
This friend shared the full YouTube clip with me and after watching it again, I realised how very toxic social media has become.
I stumbled on an article by Ivan-Whyte Eagle Lawson who has articulated my thoughts on this whole distracting nonsense featuring Desmond as the lead character.
Long post alert!! Stop here if your attention span is one tweet long.

Naijaguy12345: How many would you give Okezie Ikpeazu ? I tried to find an Iboo leader i can not think of one. Your people are not interested in producing a president or a leader, you are only interested in pulling down a yoruba man thats interested in climbing to the top.
Tinubu or any Yoruba Mugu would never be president. I repeat... Tinubu or Any Yoruba Mugu would never be president.
Leader of a so-called Young Yoruba for Freedom, Adeyinka Grandson, who currently resides abroad, in a viral video obtained by IGBERE TV urged all Igbo to leave Lagos in 48 hours or face dire consequences.

WHAT WE CAN COMFIRM
Steve ABBEY did not die. His picture was circulated yesterday on twitter. He debunked the story himself. He is fine.
Eniola Badmus was allegedly shot in the stomach yesterday. The news is untrue, Eniola was not shot and is very fine.
Onyiye Francis has made clarification on a post by Yemi Alade about a man carrying a dead lady wrapped in Nigerian flag. She said that it was a movie they acted themed, "Heal our land, OH LORD!
Iraoya Godwin said he didn't die and there was a mix-up
Comrade Anthony Okechukwu did not die at the protest ground. He was not shot by the soldiers. He died in a motorcycle accident.
What we can substantiate is a news report from Punch. Lagos State Government, Babajide Sanwo-Olu visited the victims who were injured. You can check here:

Note : The Lagos State Government has said today that it will submit the video from the CCTV to the judicial panel
If the cameras were there on the night of the carnage then the LCC should give us a footage of what went down that night. This administration thinks we are all docile like their supporters. Please tell US another lies. We are toddlers shebi.
MrGoood: was reported earlier that Some Hoodlums attacked the Endsars protesters in Alausa Ikeja, It has circulated all round the internet and many pointed fingers at the Leader of the state NURTW chairman as the brain behind the attack, Here’s a video showing mc Oluomo denying the Rumor, Not only that , He swears with his life and All he had, He said and was Quoted below.

This one no well. So I'd give my phone to somebody to answer question?. He said it questionable for a 20 to 30 year old man to have a car of 7million. These just shows how the old people see the young in this country
At least, the so called peaceful protesters have succeeded in taking him down.
I'm an advocate of peaceful protests but among the various problems this country is facing, police brutality shouldn't be one of them.
No one has the monopoly of violence. We all get angry and unable to control our emotions in certain scenarios. Not until you taste power, you won't realize the fact that power intoxicate.
Recently, the Nigerian police sent to every citizens a toll number (like 911) to dail in case of an emergency. Ask yourself, would they have done that if they didn't care for us?
You just use your keypad to exhibit your moronic self online.
SilverNorGold: What do you expect? The Pharoah's Democratic Party (PDP) is a party of thieves, criminals, looters, assassins, terrorists, impostors and everything evil!
You betrayed PPA, looted IMO state without remorse, just like your colleagues did at the Federal level. You left office, but still managed to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians huge amount of money, even after the billions you looted as a governor. That's how greedy most of these PDP politicians are.
They plunged Nigeria into recession due to their catastrophic looting. I pity President Buhari cos it ain't gonna be easy cleaning their mess!
May God help Nigeria.
Every PDP president would be better than this disaster we have now. Talking about cleaning up mess. You and I know that the vegetable in aso rock has fragmented Nigeria more than what happened before the Nigerian Biafra civil war. Quit being a daft iidiot
