Congratulations to her. I pray that we have more winners and that they impact positively on the society.

Hmmm! I just heard that someone died of COVID 19 in Ibadan. I don't know if it's included in the data posted.

A doctor said to have treated the Lekki protest gunshot victims also died recently according to reports. Apparently, few tests are being carried out so we may not have the true picture. Please be careful. Mask up and stay safe.

CodeTemplar:
I thought the shooting took place before 8:00 PM.

The shooting took place before 8pm according to previous reports.

DiscoverID:
Due to their backward cultural norms of seeing women as lesser humans, you should by all means stay away from marrying from igbo land, if you are a yoruba woman. They treat their kind as trash let alone one ofem.man,u(sic).

Let's consider the fact that not all Igbos will do this. Even the Uncle spoke up for them. Bad people will always find a reason to mess up. It's not necessarily a tribal issue.

Arrewa:
The conventional print media has always been biased against the North and Muslims in General, and this hasn't changed with the news media.

Hausa Muslims were killed in oyigbo but there is no outrage.
The killers are the IPOB terrorists, & those that championed the Endsars protest on social media are deliberately not interested in these killings because those Nigerians killed are the Hausa Muslims.

Our rich/Elites must necessarily invest in media, nobody will tell your story if you don’t tell them yourselves, even if they do, they’ll never do justice to you.

Until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will glorify the hunter”.


Thank God for social media

Wow! This is most disheartening. Killing innocent traders who are just striving to make a living for themselves. To achieve what purpose really since this has no bearing with EndSARS.

Aljanah firdaus to them.
Great pity!

EDITED
Seems there are doubts about the authenticity of the post afterall. Still I recall that Gov. Wike banned IPOB. May peace reign in Oyigbo going forward.

She will win by God's grace.

Really??

That's wonderful! A great morale booster for the Police. They deserve to be well catered for. The families will heave sighs of relief knowing that there's hope for the future.

A wise move by our Governor indeed. We really need the Police back at work soonest. Lessons learnt on all sides. We look forward to reorientation of the Police to be more focused, humane and diligent.

We know each other personally and he has no blood relation to Edo's. His father is one Samson Yomi Osewa who owns one top tier school- ambassadors college,and he's no Edo man.

Mr Samson Yomi Osewa is an alumnus of OAU Ife. The Ambassadors College is a very good school. I think it's recognised by the British Council.
Seun looks like him albeit slimmer. Intelligence and diligence flows in the blood.

mysteryman2014:
Thanks for submission but I do have some posers for u.

1. Why were the military not directed to areas where looting and arson were committed?

2. Why choose Lekki that has been acknowledged to peaceful?

3. Did the governor know the military were heading the tollgate?

We patiently await the outcome of the inquiry, pray it be independent.

But something looks pretty obvious, the action was perhaps taken to dismantle the recognised intelligentsia arm of the of the struggle and regain control of the tollgate where the emperor had been losing millions.

Time shall tell.

The true story will be revealed no matter how long it takes.

"M'oja mosa la nmo akinkanju l'ogun, akinkanju to moja ti o ma sa ose, iru won ma nba ogun bo mi lo ni".

Thanks for posting the full and correct version. Great lesson therein.

That is no reason to shoot directly at protesters in my humble opinion. Someone being shot in the chest area creates an impression. If you're invited to maintain peace and enforce a curfew, bullets should be the last on the consideration list of the rules of engagement.

The sight of a military truck full of soldiers is enough to make most people scamper for safety anyway. Unfortunately, the Governor has no control over the rules of engagement. Besides, the shooting happened before the curfew commenced.

I wish that the youth had listened to wise counsel for them to retreat and restrategise once the FG accepted their request. Sometimes you have to retreat to fight greater battles and win the war.

Yorubas say "moja, mosa la fi nmo akinkanju ogun". (Not sure I got it perfectly right.)

I don't understand why anyone is paying attention to this clown. The sad thing is that those who think his sense of reasoning is okay will assume he's speaking for the Yorubas. He's very much on his own causing trouble from far away UK. Restraining myself from being abusive..

He and Kanu are brothers indeed.

vincentini:
When will Sowore, Aisha Yesufu, Falz, and Seun Kuti come out and condemn their people doing this?

These are thieves and hoodlums. Certainly not protesters who have suspended their protests anyway.

Brandonx:
They should stop addressing them as protesters but witches and wizards.
After looting some would go to church very early tomorrow.

That's the most annoying part. The ones with no conscience will probably give testimonies of God's goodness (for looting successfully)!

Many Nigerians are religious but not God fearing.

oyeb15:
it might be a shop belonging to d wife or concubine of a SARS officer. That shop might be a proceed of police brutality. Note that the people were watching but now, power belongs to d people

Excuses that are untenable before God and the law. They are shameless thieves who will definitely reap as they have sown.

These are the same people who will go to the Mosque on Friday and Church on Sunday to pray.

Rogues and hypocrites! Not a single trace of omoluabi values in them. Shame!!!

Openbusiness:
I will always have 100% respect and love for a man who makes mistakes, and acknowledges his mistakes and works hard or makes honest attempts to rectify or fix the consequences of those mistakes. Sometimes our greatest mistakes are INACTIONS. But the actions taken these past 48 hours has proven that Sanwo Olu is a real man. We may not agree on every issue or LASG policy but I have 100% respect and love for Governor Sanwo Olu. His heart is clean. May God continue to bless your Excellency, Sanwo Olu, Executive Governor of Lagos State with more wisdom, health and positive ideas to move Lagos forward and greater, and may God continue to have mercy on me.

Amen! I believe he's doing his best under the circumstances. The looters and arsonists have made things more difficult for us all. More unemployment, more transport problems, more capital expenses that may impinge on funds for other critical areas like health and education. We just got into a bigger mess because some people chose to reason foolishly by cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
Lagos will rise again!

GIANTPLUSHUB:
Mheen! Even looting the government items or properties isn't a good act! Why?
When they are done looting government properties, they will come for the common man's own which we are already experiencing.
Also, common man might have to start from zero level which you and i don't pray for. So, it's necessary we condemn every looting acts. I come in peace!

Let's hope people understand this. It's amazing that some people are justifying the daylight robbery and destruction going on. Sadly, everyone will partake in the aftermath one way or the other.

Mist unfortunate!

Heavensent01:
any Yoruba or non Igbo ladies that marry Igbo man, married future disaster even their ladies are now running away from all those uncivilized monkeey, na to abuse other tribe them sabi whereas their inhumane and godforsaken region need both spiritual and psychological cleansing


Igbo are kind of tribe that are full of themselves, they believe they're better than you because of their ritual money whereas they're empty in all areas


Igbo as a tribe is a cursed to humanity, as it is today my woman were forced to child labour outside of her region when her late parents died, just because they're all ladies, all their father's land shared by their dad brothers and family and the kids were abandoned


the woman that brought her to Lagos for child labour eventually do her a favour though because she fell in the hand of good Yoruba parents who adopted her and sponsored her from primary school to tertiary


going to pay her bride price in East, these fools that abandoned them still come outside to collect bride price. Igbo people are shameless

Even if your story is absolutely true, you shouldn't generalize. Igbos can't all be same. Other tribes are mixed bags too.

Still wondering how any sane person will think that burning and looting are acceptable under any circumstances. All that will only lead to more poverty.. More loans for reconstruction, more levies/taxes and more unemployment.

All supporters of this foolish agenda - una well done o!

Seun:
Vice presidents have no power, only influence. The VP can talk to the president but if he disagrees, there's nothing the VP can do. And we all know that the president can be very ... determined.

That's true sadly.

Litmus:
Instead of cussing and acting as if the world has ended due to his Sanwo reported statements, get the evidence in the form of video, bodies of victims at the morgue, relatives of the victims bearing witness , etc.

Make hard evidence your friend.

Truly, it's best to show evidence. If the dead bodies are not available, for whatever reasons, those whose loved ones are missing should please speak up. We need to know those involved.
Still praying for the injured. God will heal them all. Amen

lovinhubby2wife:
God bless DJ switch,

Guys is eniola Badmus safe?? Saw a video of someone that looks like her who was shot this evening by the military

She's alive and safe according to reports.

Isn't it wise to retreat for a while to prevent unneccesary casualties? Thugs, PMF and the NA crocodile smile are not good in the mix.

Law 47 of the 48 laws of power is applicable in this situation.

Why should anyone attack RRS officers ? They've been fair in their dealings with the public as far as I know. They're also better equipped and probably well renumerated by LASG.

The protesters need to restrategise quickly before the bad guys take over.

Abyjah:
I know a guy who has been in prison awaiting trial for 13 years. If you doubt, I'll arrange for you to meet the guy in prison. I came out on bail last month after 2 years of waiting without trial too. This country is due for formatting. No regards for human right in anyway.

Please link him up with one of the many NGOs or Church ministries that help those in prison. They'll get him released if there's no tangible evidence against him.

Eriokanmi:
false claim my foot. I refer you to same Internet and search where Femi Hamzat, the deputy governor of lagos claimed the protester killed in surulere was a hoodlum who was repelled by the police...a reckless, false comment from a supposed leader. After the reactions and backlash, in their usual damage control, they ate their vomit and sanwoolu visited the family of the killed protester yesterday. Gone are the days when their deceits would hold water. Una eyes go soon clear

Probably based on information available to them at that time. They investigated and have now done the right thing.

May God comfort the family as his soul rests in peace.

Horrifying scene! The picture tells a tragic story. This is heart rending to say the least.
