Very good Buhari has told us to go about our normal businesses.

MAYOWAAK:
.......Our promptness in disbanding SARS was misconstrued as weakness........

It wasn't the promptness in "disbanding" it, it was the rush to create SWAT when Nigeria already had a SWAT division in place for at least the last 7 years.

SARS has been disbanded every year for the last 5 years.

Talking about n power in a crisis situation?

Are you sure Buhari knows what's going on?

Miracle2020:
even if their was shooting, that was not the video.

Idiot that was the tollgate, I'm sure you haven't even set foot in Lagos in your wretched life. I can tolerate you having a different opinion but I will not tolerate lies.

JAMO84:
Only foolish people don't know the videos are fake

Mods should start banning these foolish asslickers on this forum.

OkoNDOoBo:
a lot of Nigerians re dummies. From the video there was no pandemonium that suggest direct shooting of protesters. The gunshot seen in the video was in the air.

So the gunshot wounds came from where? Goat.

How do you photoshop a video, illiterate pig?

Isn't that the regular trademark of the Nigerian Harm me.
I'm waiting for the "Sleep peacefully at night" crew to come and defend this.

Miracle2020:
Why not? He is walking free because PDP and ipob are sponsoring the protest.
Tinubu businesses are burnt down while nothing happened to Peter Obi business.
Oba of Lagos palace is burnt down while nothing happened to Obi of onitsha palace.
Yoruba open your eyes.

Guy this post is so senseless I don't even know how to tackle your stupidity.

olumide4christ:
As usual, you skipped the fact that Sanwo-Olu met with the protesters on many occasions at the protest venues at Lekki and Alausa ànd encouraged them to give the government time to work at meeting their demands while asking them to return home meanwhile. What else do you want him to do?
But of course, nothing he ever does will please those who are never on his side.

Ok how does that justify shooting people and trying to cover it up?

Or his many conflicting statements?

Any good will he earned has been destroyed by his words and actions both today and yesterday.

The first thing would have been to prevent any violent attacks on the protesters knowing that it would only lead to more violence.

Then say the truth about what is happening, don't be telling us lies or dancing around the truth. You can't tell me he didn't know about the removal of cameras at the tollgates or that nobody died or that he is not privy to the movements of military formations in his state.

The only good thing he has done is to counter the army's fake report that soldiers were not at the tollgates because that one is impossible for them to dispute.

olumide4christ:
Always be civil when talking to people or responding to comments online or offline.
I don't speak with emotions or bias...I speak with a clear mind devoid of any bias. Comparing Lagos situation with Ibadan is like comparing apples with oranges.

I hope that when your children and/or their friends come into your house or business place and start destroying things, preventing visitors or customers from coming in to see you or do business with you, you will fold your hands and let them continue simply because they are children.

Continue...I know the average Nigerian always sees things from their own perspective and never from the perspective of others!

I will always call a spade a spade and you are truthfully talking ignorantly.

Before the massacre at the tollgate was the violence this bad?

Yes there were attacks on police stations but there were attacks in Ibadan as well.

Now while governor Makinde addressed the people, promising to restore peace while protecting legitimate protesters governor Sanwo - Olu gave conflicting information about curfew times, watched silently as the LCC removed cameras, people were shot in your state you say you don't know what's happening, lie that nobody died there, say you aren't in control of the army but the same army is in Oyo state working with governor Makinde.

From what perspective do you want me to see this from?

The ongoing riots are targeting government establishments because they have lost all confidence in the state's ability to govern.

Is the violence in Oyo this bad?

All this could have been prevented if those people at the tollgate weren't killed.

Two things are at play here either Sanwo - Olu is impotent and can not control things in the state or worse the Lagos State government arranged the slaughter of his own citizens under his direction.

olumide4christ:
What do you expect them to do? Their esteemed and unarmed colleagues, the RRS, were attacked in their vehicle 2 days ago at Yaba, Lagos. I'm sure you saw the video. Do you want them to come out to attend to a distress call and if someone dies, the protesters and their supporters will begin to peddle propaganda and start calling the international community to intervene, like they did last night?
They will not ooo...I will not if I were in their shoes. The protesters and their supporters asked for this kind of situation and they will get in full. E just start!

Two wrongs don't make a right... NEVER!

Nonsense talk,look at how Governor Makinde handled the situation in Oyo and compare it to the rubbish happening in Lagos.

ibedun:
Send the soldiers in and KILL THEM ALL!!!

I repeat KILL THEM ALL!!!!

Anybody found burning anything SHOOT!

The soldiers have killed people now, did it stop anything? Didn't it make things worse?

Xchristain:
For those asking why soilders are deployed to protest grounds,well here's your answer.

The police just can't handle these violent protesters who use this opportunity to perpetuate criminal acts.

If soilders appear and start target practicing, we'll call it a massacre abi?

You are a complete fool, they didn't send them to shoot at Surulere or Orile, they didn't send them to Edo to chase after prisoners and shoot them, they sent them to Lekki tollgate where the people were sitting on the road, waving the flag and singing the national anthem.

They did not fight anybody yet they shot them to protect their Master's interests.

flemsy15:
Please for anyone who is saying that the victims didn't obey the curfew imposed by the government, shooting and killing have never been the punishment for disobeying curfews.

They are just bastard zombies.

Congratulations to the new Oba.

This is true O, they are not broadcasting anything.

I can never be fooled into putting on that murderer's uniform again.

A uniform that symbolises the oppression of the citizens.

Coronavirus you really disappointed, you could locate Abba Kyari but you couldn't locate this fool.

QueenNemesis:
Politicization has begun.

Tinubu should bid his presidential ambition farewell. The dream was killed the moment army opened fire on defenceless protesters in Lagos.

That man is finished, Edo was the start, this is the fatal wound.

SilverNorGold:
The military must enforce Law and Order... They've even tried. They never interfered in the protest until protesters began looting and burning government properties, including police stations; raping girls, releasing criminals from jail, and engaging in all manner of atrocities..

Yet some are still questioning the military for taking this noble action?

Well, I am very sure, that by now, all law-abiding protesters are off the streets. Therefore, any hoodlum caught by the men in khaki should be dealt with ruthlessly.

Nigeria is not a banana republic.

Nigeria must better.

Honestly guy fůck you for typing this nonsense, the soldiers didn't go to Surulere, or Edo they went to Lekki of all places. LCC took down the CCTV and lights so they can kill with impunity.

They even brought brand new APCs to do it, something their brothers up north will never see.

They deserve what they get after this.

witworth:
but why are you discouraging others since you don't feel it's your right to join the movement on the street, then why the useless advice

Because he is a brainless zombie, the mods banned his other account now he made a new one to spew rubbish.

Bastards and animals in human skin .

I hope Shekau deals thoroughly with everyone involved in the shooting.

Faithful007:
bro, no matter the circumstances, you never shoot unarmed people. Why didn't they go to Benin where people are carrying AKs on the streets.

Because deep down Nigerian soldiers and police are cowards.

emilo2bad:
Idiot you should have stay message has been passed allow government to implement them you cannot burn down police stations and say you are peaceful

Did the people at Lekki burn down anything? Please shut the fück up.

Sanwo Olu is a killer

Some people here have been saying that Boko Haram will use this chance to strike and they were right.

Deb2020:
Says you .You are Speaking for your self too.The Movement has no Head , Every other thing else are Sensible

That's one of the problems with this protest, the fact that it has no direction any random person or group with their own agenda can insert themselves into the protest and cause trouble.

Just like how hoodlums are destroying property and killing people the blame will be cast on the protesters and the government will use it as an excuse to kill the movement.

The main focus has always been ENDSARS and police reform.

Iamgrey5:
So why are some people matching in solidarity with Buhari amidst the protest?

Because they are paid stooges who are ready to sell their mothers for a loaf of bread.

Iamgrey5:
I don't support Buhari again either but a large number of people do in Rivers.

And apparently an igbo man is going to lead 10 million people in support of Buhari tomorrow.

So we don't need Endsars again in the South West because it's going to be a fruitless journey.

Speak for yourself please, the main topic is the end of the special anti robbery squad and reform of the police, everything else is rubbish.

BlackfireX:
I don't understand, expanciate..

Nigeria is in a crisis situation with civil unrest everywhere, some might say it's on the brink of another civil war but that's not the main issue.

With the recent attacks on police stations and escape of prisoners the military would try as much as possible to ensure the personnel in the barracks and more importantly their weapons are kept safe. You don't need to imagine what would happen if a group of miscreants or terrorists got access to a Nigerian bomber or accidentally set the weapons off.

See if you look through my profile you will know I'm not a fan of the military but this isn't a case of abuse of power or taking up other unwarranted duties so let's not be finding fault where there is none.

BlackfireX:
Blocking the road where the common man is passing is wrong and it will make the same common man to withdraw his support..

As I am talking to you now In Ibadan.. Benjamin+ Eleyele junction+ Ologuneru + Gbopa is blocked.. How will that common man you are fighting for go home, pick his child from the school, or go to hospital ...

I thought it will be to occupy all national and state house of assembly, President and governors office ...

This is right next to their base, it's normal procedure for a situation like this.
