With with attack of prison and the freedom of both the victims of #endSARS and real hardened criminals Nigeria might be an unsafe place to live in by 2021 when freed prisoners will start terrorizing the people.

I don't believe the youths are involved in these things. Hoodlums have taken over.

How can we differentiate between the two.

Real trouble is still coming

I am surprised that many are expecting much from Mr. President.

If you study the situation, you will discover that this issues would have been avoided if the majority of the youths voted wisely in the 2015 election.

I think the youths should bear it for now. Currently, Mr. President have absolute power. The only person higher than him is God. He can do and undo. He can do anything and clean up and nothing will happen. The National Assembly and judiciary must dance to his tone.

If you like demonstrate till the next 200 years, he will only do what he wants to do.

He would have proscribed the gathering as terrorism and there is nothing you can do about it. I believed he had respect for it a little because it originated from the South West.

My advice is that we should rest because you cannot change anything. The only game changer here is God. For the people killed, they can only cry for vengeance which God will execute whenever he likes.

Maybe the youth should be wiser in the next election and vote wisely without tribal sentiments. It also depends on whether your vote count then.

Nonsense

I expected this type of speech. As far as Buhari is concern, there is no massacre. So there is nothing to talk about.

To be honest Mr president was softer than I expected.

Now I think we should be expecting a repeat of the Lekki again if protest continues

Lagoon0:
Bro calm down. I don't know if you're Igbo or not but I'll say something I noticed differentiate Yoruba's from Igbos. Igbo are very emotional about things. And yorubas are not.
Seems Yoruba has more hardened mind and prefer to be objective. I don't see evidence from witness or affected individuals. Though I condemn everything that happened.
Let's understand our different point of view. Yoruba's that are not emotional and always avoiding tribal clash might be brutal when it happens. So let's not talk carelessly we Yoruba's are watching and investigating carefully

OK. It is true. Let us follow event critically

adewumiopeyemi:
But i taught this Dj confirm 78 people dead

Governor insisted on 1 death. Amnesty International claimed they have evidence of several death

Is this a fake news from the punch

https://punchng.com/update-injured-victim-of-lekki-shootings-dies-in-hospital-sanwo-olu/?amp=1

The governor confirmed 1 death from Punch. Is it a fake news.

Let's stop this propaganda that they did not shoot civilians. The single death is enough prove. We don't need pictures or images.

The governors word is enough prove. They are trying to wash brain the citizens with paid agents

The video evidence and images are not important. The fact that the governor visited victims of the attack in the hospital and confirmed 1death is enough prove that soldiers fired innocent civilians.

The images and videos could have been uploaded by the agent of the military to confuse Nigerians.

If you remember, the authorities use hoodlums to disperse protest. Hoodlums might have uploaded the pictures and images.

Since they were able to pay hoodlums to disperse protest, why can't agents be paid to confuse the fact the army shot innocent civilians

Fellow Nigerian. It is true the denial of the military seems to be gas lighting. Trying to confuse people. Thanks for enlightenment.

We don't care about pictures and videos. The fact that 1 person died and several injured is enough prove that soldiers fired innocent civilian

The governor said 1 person died. How did one person die if they were shooting in the air. Please explain. I don't believe only one person died unless the army are telling us that the military weapons they spent million of naira on can only injure and not kill. The fact that 1 person died is a proof that they shot civilian. We do not need any video to prove it. The death and injuries are enough proves

The army chief should be queried for the single death that was recorded. Who ordered the shooting

The life of one Nigeria matters

The pictures does not concern us. The main fact that 1 person died and many got injured is a fact that the army shot innocent civilian.

The video at this time is not important. How did the victims get injured if the military did not shoot them directly. How did one person die

That means the pictures of governor visit to the injured is also fake news. That means the governor's announcement of 1 dead is fake news

LukasPodolski:
what's their name(s)?

Visit the hospitals that the governor visited to get their names.

Can a bullet shot in the air injure and kill at least one person

Vixlot:
What are their names op

Why not visit the hospital that the Governor visited that are in the papers to gather their names.

Can a bullet shot in the air injure and kill at least one person?

OK agreed with you.

I just have some questions left:

The wound from the injured and the dead is it from gun wounds?

If it is from gun wounds, can a bullet that was shot in the air injure people to the extend of killing one person?

The images of the injured in the hospital that the governor visited, are they also fake.

Is it possible for people to be injured and one person killed if they were not targeted.

Let's be wise. Victims might have been buried without honour. And I weep for them because the system they believed on have failed them

If the military weapons can only injure and not kill then that explains why our military are not able to fight Boko Haram. That mean the army chief should explain how come our military weapons can only injure with all the money they spent buying weapons.

We are no babies in Nigeria

Let us think critically. What type of weapon was used in the shooting. Was it a fake or a real weapon. If it is was a fake weapon, we should not have a single death.

The most important question of all is that is it possible to shoot a lot of people gathered in a place and injured all without killing any. If that is what happened then our military weapons can only injure Boko Haram Terrorist without killing them.

You are not talking to babies. Nigerian youth are wiser than that

SalamRushdie:
What are their names so we can honor them ?

Forget those lies. We are wiser than that. When it comes to reports like this foreign media is best. Although they reported one death because that is what the government want people to hear.

Do you expect someone that kill to admit that he killed. It is natural for him to say no one died. The dead can be buried instantly. The reason why we have one death was that he died in the hospital. If he died instantly you will not see his dead body

Each time I read the report that they raised the national flag and sang the national anthem I could not hold my tears.

Our fathers have failed our youth.

They died in action. Even though they are not military, they deserve national military burial with full military honour

I believe we should give the dead victims at Lekki Genocide a national burial.

They deserved to be national heroes. They die singing national anthem and the soldiers that are to protect the nation killed.

They are better than the coward soldiers and are real heroes. They deserve national burial

I don't support Osinbajo resignation. It would help his chances for 2023. But his presence will stop many injustice silently. Osinbajo might seem powerless but still has some role to stop evil events

Let us not follow the evil path of our fathers. Let us drop all tribal foul languages like The Afonjas, Igbo pig, Fulani whatever.

We should only attack crimes like herd's men killings, military killings, passing evil laws by ruling government to kill others, indirect stealing of ancestral land by herdsmen.

These things should be based on proveable facts and not fiction and it should not have tribal sentiment.

If Mr President does well let us clap for him. We should tackle him if he performs woefully.

As far as I am concern :
1. I love late Yar Adua even if he was from the north because for the first time in Nigeria court order was obeyed.
2. I love Jonathan, because he gave us true democracy and free and fair election without fighting Supreme Court Judges.
3. I love Osibanjo because when Mr. President was sick. He really made me proud as a Nigeria. We enjoyed the rule of law without intimidation of the Supreme Court Judges

I am still waiting for Mr. President to do great things like these people I mentioned above. His tenor is not over yet. He still have the chance of correcting all wrongs if he wants to. I will still clap for him if he does any great thing.

The people mentioned above are not from my tribe and I love them not because of their tribe but because of the legacy they have created.

We should be matured as the youth of the Federal Republic Nigeria. Let us not follow the evil path of our fathers

Let us be matured in our posting. I noticed that the killing at Lekki has been turned to hatred for the Igbos that is why I started this thread. Thank God some advice came up from some people that the thread owners are not Yorubas which is understandable. But they are the enemies of Nigeria.

Fellow Nigerian, at this time of our time we young people should be different from our fathers.

Our fathers have failed us. Because we were crying of police brutality they sent soldiers to kill us. For us Nigerian youth to survive we need to respect and love all tribes

I call on all Nairalanders to drop all the senseless post of Igbos hatred and all hatred. Let us love everyone.

We should only hate people that perverts justice, murder other innocent citizens. It should not be based on tribe but on action

People that hate suffers from psychological breakdown. Let us stop hating

Let's say no to all hate speech. Rather than hate, let us love.

We should hate injustice, murder, etc. That's the right thing we should hate

I also want to say the Yorubas loves you all
