Lipscomb:
What kind useless meeting was that...The meeting to break rule and law.

It is within your rights to hold meetings as long it doesn't infringe on the rights of other people. Can you tell us if any law is being broken here? I hope we are not sliding back to dictatorship.
You cannot hold meetings, they contemplating how to regulate social media, the signs are ominous.

Authority1o1:
Okay...

How can the government sit back and fold their hands and watch people engage in a democratic practice of joining a social assembly?

How?

When the rulership is threatened?


Youngest son, and you are looking so drawn, more drawn than your father when he was decades beyond your age?

Cannabis?

The usual dumb attempt at attacking the messenger rather than the message. What rulership is threatened.

Pierocash:
Mr Lai Mohammed, nobody is justifying the killing of security agents, but however, there is what is called "causality" in philosophy, that is "cause and effect".

You can't thread the den of a lion and not expect some consequence. The murder of security agents,looting ,and vandalism that took place was an aftermath and reprisal attack after the toll gate shooting of innocent protesters.

The protest was peaceful until you and your likes started sponsoring thugs to kill and attack protesters, the final stroke that broke the Carmel's back was the lekki shooting.

For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction

God bless you.

Do nothing legislators. I am yet to hear what they have to say about the recent protests and the shootings in Lekki.
We pay them to do nothing.

Friend22:
Hear yourself?
"The army was there shooting at protesters..."

Some of you are way way worst than liars.

Somebody who was there said they shoot into the air now someone ,who has a faceless and probably has no address moniker is receiving likes to show that the drivel he wrote is well received by simpletons .

Even if you are blind which I think you are, someone must have told you there were live videos of people soaked in blood and some who appeared unconscious. I wonder if folks like you have their brains on their feet.
Morons like you don't even realize soldiers should not be shooting at civilians in any shape or form. That is tyranny. Shooting in the air my foot, after they denied being there? Do you have any brains?

iamDrRhymes:
God bless you for this. You even went deeper!

Have any gone to the plaza to do any forensic work? All these armchair theorists.

Bloody liars, who are the "powerful forces" beyond Sanwo Olu's control who unleashed soldiers on peaceful protesters.
CNN is not the problem, the Nigerian government is. The APC government is now lying more than the PDP.

Neddstark:
There was shooting. Soldiers shot into the air but some silly ones may have fired whether intentionally or unintentionally into the crowd. But it was not a mass fire into the crowd, if it was DJ Switch will not be alive. It would have been a bloodbath. Some people died, many were injured. It was a tragedy. I am against the use of assault weapons to disperse a crowd. Sometimes it always ends fatal.

Many of you are getting this wrong. Why are you making an excuse for something that is clearly wrong! Unintentionally shot into the crowd? Why would the army shoot at protesters?
This is not normal, in some countries you don't even see members of the military on the streets not to mention shooting at their own citizens. The army lied at being there, then they came back and said they were there but shot only blanks, are we supid?

Neddstark:
BBC is way more reputable than CNN. CNN doesnt mind if the country implodes from spreading their con news. In fact, from conflicts like these they will make more and more news. No wonder Trump calls them Con News Network

None of you have been able to tell us exactly what lies the CNN told.
The Nigerian army, our own army said they were not there, all the videos of the event were fake, but it turns out they were actually there but shot "blanks" Now, who is lying? Use your head and stop being a sucker.

Ceenelly:
OK
That one dey

A people that disobey law and order should not cry in a lawless situation, the Governor of Lagos state declare a curfew but some certain individual said no to the directive, in all every one of them both the government, army and the people that disobey govt order have cause us all this unnecessary report by BBC and CNN

Killing people is the punishment for disobeying a curfew?

ashacot:
Well, after both videos, I feel both have their report based on the availability of evidence present. That the BBC reporter said no one died at the lekki toll gate contradicts CNN report. But remember the BBC reporter said she was there for a little above 20mins. While CNN report said the Army shot for hours.

The BBC report does not contradict anything. She described how she left the toll gate and what she saw. She couldn't possibly see everything that happened that night, that is why the report of other eyewitnesses are important.
One thing is certain though, the army was there shooting at protesters and this is the main problem.

Why should the army fire blanks at civilians in the first place ? What type of crazy people are these? We know they fired live bullets and killed people.
The army knew this and quickly denied ever been at the toll gate. Enough for these silly lies.

Praktikals:
A prince in ile ife is greater than the Alaafin of Oyo

You need to lay off the weeds.

Buratai is only deceiving himself. What exactly is this rule of engagement? Does it include shooting unarmed protesters?

Righteousness89:
Katakata is now the order of the Day! Not just in Lagos or in Nigeria but all over the World..

I Just wanna take this Moment to wake anyone who desires to be awake to what time we are in and what is about to Happen!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't know the language or Manner I should use to Sound this that will sink in our Hearts and Mind..
We are at the Brink of a Great Dispensational Change! We are at the Brink of a " Great Reset" otherwise known as the New world order( Nwo). It's no longer a hidden stuff!

Just as the World is Making Preparation to Reset, launch the Nwo and officially bring in the programs of the Lawless one! So also is The KING of kings, Jesus Christ Preparing to Snatch His People away from Here.
We are no longer looking for a sign! We are listening for a SHOUT! A Shout of the Trumpet!
JESUS Christ is Coming! And you cannot take what will hit the World next!

Ladies and Gentlemen, today is an opportunity to be Reconciled to GOD through JESUS Christ!
Don't delay! Don't postpone!
There is no more time!

Fake pastor who supports a serial liar.

chrisj2:
You should have listened to the submission from the army guy at the panel. The organisers of the |Protest themselves knows that things were getting out of hand... The original protest was going to be dealt with (?). They now moved on to bad governance - not ideal! Some protesters might just be singing and waving flags but others were destroying things and causing havoc for other folks in Lagos especially, Police men were being killed, organised criminals and thugs were using the protest as cover... Etc etc

The most important reason why the army were called is because the original protest was against the Police so they cannot call the Police and after imposing a curfew, people still went out days before and beyond curfew time. No country in the world will allow protesters to destroy things and other people's livelihood.

Stopp telling us that all protesters are University graduates just singing and asking for whatever - it was a heady mix of people and even nice people do bad things when in bad company and when emotions carry them too far

The protesters were peaceful until the army decided to shoot at them. Some prominent Nigerians even warned the government not to resort to violence but they still went ahead and shot at the protesters.
The army lost credibility by first denying ever being there then followed by telling different lies which were promptly debunked.
Let us even agree for the sake of an argument that some of the protesters were unruly is that a justification for the army to go there and randomly kill people?

GOTVee:
I support it. We Christians can also convert mosques to churches if we want

You are also wary of getting the Muslims angry, aren't you contradicting yourself? Are the Muslims going to shake your hand and say thank you after converting their mosques to churches?

chrisj2:
Thank you! I just posted something similar. Nigerian better be careful of what they are wishing for? We dont need foreign intervention from people that want to take us back as slaves - at least economic slaves... 70 odd million people still voted for Trump. Obama prosecuted so many wars and they do not keep tabs on body counts if you are foreign and from Africa.

And yes, CNN can also do hal;f-truths - they all do. I see them track the soldiers, they showed bullet casing and it was Serbian from 2005... They showed the same grainy video that is not exclusive and they think shots were fired at protesters - perhaps some useless soldiers fired bullets into the ground and that from above - how are we sure it is not blank. Lots of conjecture but not facts - we do not need CNN!

Why would the army go there in the first place when the protesters were there singing and waving flags? Does that constitute a threat to anyone?
Why would the army go there to shoot blanks?

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I think I support such laws against blasphemy. President macron goofed by his Islamophobic actions and as Christians we must learn to respect other people's religious beliefs. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is so sacred to the Muslims just like our Lord Jesus christ is to we Christians. So we really need to be careful not to provoke the anger of Muslims.

What do you have to say about Turkey's conversion of churches into mosques? Is that provocative enough for you?

fykes:
Lagos is what it is today simply because it was a former capital state of Nigeria. Take that away and it won't differ much from Ibadan

But Lagos was already a busy trading port before Nigeria was created in 1914. There's a reason the British came to Lagos first before coming to your village.

barragan:
No where in the cnn report did they use the term massacre, because it won't only be wrong it would be misleading.
This is so because a massacre means "the killing of a considerable number (usually limited to people) where little or no resistance can be made, with indiscriminate violence, without necessity, and contrary to civilized norms" and in a case where no mass killing has occurred using the term can only be due to ignorance or deliberate attempt at incitement, they know better than to make that mistake.

There was this incident in the US a long time ago that is referred to as "the st. Valentine's day massacre" seven people were shot to death that day.
Forget the semantics, if the Nigerian army can shoot at peaceful protesters with the intention of killing some of them to scare them off, it means something is seriously wrong with the country.
Just like we practice pseudo federalism, we might be gradually descending into pseudo democracy.

And when the baby is born with noticeable eye defects bcuz of your toxic sperm emission during pregnancy which always covers his/her yet to be fully developed eye retina, you will attributes it to your village pipu

The cervix is closed during pregnancy. Your comment is funny though. "Noticeable eye defects "

Aunty Kemi and her prophesies.

Kestolove:
Dis is our president come 2023 inshallah.

I hope not as long as he doesn't support the restructuring of the country. My vote goes to any party with a concrete plan to end this chaotic arrangement.

duality:
Nigeria will not break if presidency is not zoned to the South.

Take that to the bank!

Maybe not, it will only bring the day of reckoning much closer.

Fake prophet. Colonial vilus ( corona virus)

WonderManly:
Odudua loading...

Which Odua? FFK wasn't talking about the southwest, most likely the southeast. FFK is a loudmouth.
The south should be clamoring for restructuring rather than the presidency.
Nobody can run Nigeria successfully as presently constituted. The next group will just steal as much as they can like their predecessors and leave, and the circle continues.

Miracle2020:
your grandma said the same thing. Now she is no more but Nigeria still remain gidigba.

Whose grandma? Dumb son of a bitch.

Racoon:
See how a supposed reputable organisation is just disgracing itself with lies.Now that the lying Nigerian army have acknowledged that its personnel were truly @ Lekki, fired @ people but used blanks ammunition yet people were injured, maimed, admitted in hospitals and some died?

Well the next mysterious lie to be uncovered is the people they killed and allegedly hid their remains.Why did they & the police stopped the essential services from reaching their crime scene? So when is AGF Malami gonna apologise for misleading the nation about the army involvement?

It's only a matter of time for Nigeria. This level of incompetence cannot last for long. Something's got to give.

Pathetic sore loser.
