They were firing not toward the crowd but by standing by the side in an angle of 90 degrees, so it is impossible for anyone to be hit by a stray bullet or falling bullet

Lord! Did you forget displacement (it’s traveling several miles away) and effect of wind current.

There were several more people at the back. It was a crowd. Most people hit (in my own opinion, from what i saw in the video) were a few yards away from where the soldiers were. Which made perfect sense.

The gun were not at perfect 90 degrees. If i have to guess i would say about 80 degrees to the sky, don’t forget the shooter was facing the crowd. If i have draw the outcome of this on a paper for you, it means there is something wrong.

thebosstrevor1:
The op wrote about shooting at an angle.

Also even if shot directly to the air, Bullets fired into the air usually fall back with terminal velocities much lower than their muzzle velocity when they leave the barrel of a firearm, meaning they can't kill when they drop back.

I hope you know that if you throw stone to the air, the force used to throw the stone, wont be the same force when it lands to the ground. Use that logic for a bullet instead of unnecessary arguments.

You have answered your own arguments bruh. A bullet fired into the air, travels for miles. You can’t compare distance covered by a bullet to a stone (I took further maths in secondary school)

No matter the angle, when coming down it retains some velocity (far way more velocity than a stone throw with human effort) thus it can puncture your skin if it hits you.

... and watch the video, the soldiers were firing between 70 - 90 degrees (almost perpendicular to the sky). So what angle are we even arguing about?

PatrickOkunima:
It is obvious who is stupid between you and I. The title of that article is misleading, and even if it's not, I am certain the writer has no practical knowledge of what he or she has written.

When it comes to issues like this, to an extent, I am an authority. I shouldn't even be replying you.

I pity the people that come to you for any form of service because it is glaring there is nothing in your brain.

Patrick Okunima lol I can’t even believe you would come here to spill garbage when a mighty resource like google is at your finger tips.

It is also obvious that you are an authority on talking without sense. You are a complete e-diot, your refusal to learn makes you a fool. You are an idiotic fool

EmmySparky:
oga you are older than this

Wisdom definitely doesn’t come with age!

thebosstrevor1:
Read it again, it is talking about 2 different things

Read the article, falling bullets can wound/kill!

maiquel:
Op watch the video again and again... as If the cartridges or containers whatever their name is, she showed you a bullet. One removed from one of them.
Yesterday on AIT, there was a woman who assisted with removing bullets, she differentiated between the bullets soldiers fired and those the police fired. She also mentioned their names. She showed the tool she use in picking the bullets out.

I know you guys don't want to believe the story, its fine, but don't distort it with your nonsense analysis.
There are too many evidence to show the soldiers shot at protesters.

On that same toll gate scenario, they were videos of people trying to stop the bleeding of people that were hit. He won’t see that video naa. I honestly don’t blame OP i blame the mod that allowed his topics to see the light.

PatrickOkunima:
Show me where it is written that a falling ammo can kill. Simple! Instead of copying and pasting what you can't comprehend.

Even the title of the article tells you a falling bullet can kill, if you are too stupid to read the article thats not my fault.

Just stop spreading your stupidity all over the internet and tarnishing the effort of people that died during this protest, so that e-diots like you can live a better life in Nigeria.

thebosstrevor1:
Do you understand English at all.the sentences you alighted and the ones you didnt alight, read both of them, do they correspond.

Mr genius, Where does it not correspond? That why i put the link to the article there for you.

PatrickOkunima:
I bet you didn't read the article. Bullets fired at the angles I saw in that video cannot kill.

A bullet fired at any angle into the air can wound/kill you, if it hits you on the way down.

You don’t know, now you are didn’t educated you still refuse the education. If it is not folly I don’t what it is. You can see why this country is not progressing

A bullet from an AK-47 leaves the rifle traveling at over 1,500 miles per hour (670 meters per second): about double the speed of sound. Despite only having a mass of about five grams — under a fifth of an ounce — it’s got the energy of a brick dropped from a 30 story building. Concentrated into a tiny surface area at the bullet tip, it can easily break through your skin. And once it does, that energy and momentum tears through your body, ripping a hole through blood vessels, muscle, and potentially vital organs. No wonder it can kill you.

PatrickOkunima:
I just watched the video by DJ Switch where she claimed the military shot at protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate.

From the shooting video, the soldiers were firing in the air. It is not possible for those shots to have injured, let alone killed someone on ground. ............

@op smh at you.

The true is in your own affirmation, yet you fail to see it. It is obvious you didn’t study any science related course and you don’t have a broad knowledge (in short you have nothing upstairs) yet you open your mouth even when video evidence is within your reach. People like you are the problem with Nigeria.

Everything that goes up must come down, before now i am sure you didn’t know that bullets fired into the air; when coming down can actually fatally and even kill.

You better work on yourself

Just commit suicide and stop wasting space and oxygen.

MANY UNDER 30S DIE EVERYDAY. YOU WON'T BE THE FIRST. YOU WON'T BE THE LAST. FIND COMFORT IN THIS KNOWLEDGE.

Natural selection, nature probably doesn't want your gene pool.

No joy in the land anymore.

I find it disturbing that there can’t be absolute silence in the crowd for this.

Vast majority of the youths of this Nation don’t have the mindset it takes to pull it from underneath the rubble of misfortune the older generation has put it. This set of youths just want to rave at every given opportunity, irrespective of the situation.

Well there is no other choice it’s definitely going to be a trial by fire but I’m sure we would get there. Brace yourself.

Truthteller2020:
don't visit the site,no video there.idiot blogger

Lool it’s there though. Scroll down the page.

thebosstrevor1:
Fake video and fake news

That video of the shooting didn't happen in Uganda, that video have been trending for long since last 2 years. It happened in a south American country.

The sex video on porn sites have been given many title.

Check the pic of the man on the floor and the fat African man, they have different face cutting, one is darker than the other.

Stop spreading fakes news all for traffic.

I too doubted it, until i did a little research. Looks legit bruh, it happened a few days ago

Proverbs 6:29 (GNT) It is just as dangerous to sleep with another man's wife.

Hahaha

This is so funny. Nigeria has turned to comedy half-hour.

Publicly admitting that an organization set up to fight crime is also committing crime by misappropriating funds gotten from crime

This is not suicide, this is premeditated murder. People that commit suicide by hanging, hang themselves away from every form of support to make sure its final.

Look at the desk beside him, anybody struggling for his life would use the desk to try to save his own life, when the pain of dying kicks in. As you can see no sign of struggle ie pushing the desk, or reaching for wall...

Vikalinda:
Mine was when my former roommate, a close friend and blood relative refuse to deliver an urgent message to me from a big shot requesting my CV for a well paid government job, he told them that I said am not interested in the job, the man waited for two weeks looking for someone to occupy the position before I was contacted from another person during a discussion with the oga's wife asking people why I rejected a big connection for job that the husband brought, when I learnt of it I was mad, although I eventually got the job.
when i confronted him he felt bad about his action. although he was somehow defensive. but I forgave him and we moved on.

Stay very far away from this person, have nothing to say/do with him. He doesn’t want your progress and can hitch a plot to kill you. A word is enough for the wise sir.

Xtruzz:
YES!!

IF YOU WHERE SHORTLISTED BEFORE THE RESUMPTION OF SARKI.

THOSE SHORTLISTED ARE ON PURE MERIT THAT'S WHY THE LIST CAN'T BE DROP.

The fact that DPR's management (present and past) has refused to drop merit list shows their non- commitment to employing based on merit because once there is a list people can demand for their APL.

Actions speak, DPR has held on to this list for so long. Even the person of Engr Sarki is calling his own candidates that didn't partake in test/interviews that year while ignoring the so-called merit list to what end? There are verses in the Holy Books that talk about treating your neighbors/strangers with respect and a great sense of duty and giving your neighbors their due promptly. I guessing these people read a different set of Holy Books written by themselves.

Current news that man is receiving concerning this recruitment is not good for morale. Hopefuls, to be frank; DPR's management has shown time and time again we are not first place, or second place or even sixth place in their thought. Let continue in prayers, the Almighty God would definitely judge swiftly and righteously, nobody would be spared.

Xtruzz I know you try your best to give hope here but on more than one occasion when it was time to call hopefuls DPR management’s action didn't align with your expectations, you are not to blame for that; that is not your fault. I still appreciate every info you drop here.

Iyajelili:
Xtruzz, I think the second batch you are laying emphasis on will come as replacement that is where connection is needed for people who got to the interview state because it would give them a greater opportunity.

Xtruzz:
Yes!!!
I said it before, I'm still emphasising there's 2nd list composed, singed and approved by the TMC which membership comprises of NNPC and DPR etc.

This said list has gone beyond a stage of councilation. Saiki is very much aware he cannot drop the shortlisted list, he can only add to it.

In a bite to add his people, the portal was open to enable him facilitate for his people, some of his candidates came for interview at the Lagos office on Thursday last week though they didn't apply in the 2016 advert. More will still be invited for the interview.

Old and new will be release before end of the year.

Xtruzz, I don’t see space for the common-man’s children in all this. Would a significant number of sons and daughters of the common-man; who don’t know anybody except God be called?

Friedrich Nietzsche — 'Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.'

People prefer illusion to the truth

4 years. All I can say to DPR’s long series of tales by moonlight is It is well

Gilbertase:
Sarki na the latest Angel.

Ladan, Shakur, and HR esp the 'fat woman' are the latest Devils. This is one damn interesting season film, the suspense and twists are top-notch. Lol

Let’s hope this angel won’t become a demon like our past angels.

Bruh, Anybody that is not tired of DPR’s super-story concerning a recruitment that is over 4 years old is definitely super-human. DPR! What an organization!

baliyubla:
Even as a strong critic of the dullard, will commend him on this, if it’s fully enforced. There was just no sense in expecting an Ikoyi boy to pay same tariffs with a Mushin boy.

Will further advise that luxury items should also be taxed heavily.

What about the middle?! You are assuming that everyone in Ikoyi is rich, which is not the case. There are single apartments being shared by 3 - 7 trying to make a living while swimming against the tide of suffering this government is pouring their way.

By the way there are very rich people in Mushin.

It’s a dumb policy.

DPR I hail thee! Lmao

Who is saying the truth and who is trying to defend DPR’s already corrupted image?!

Is there a second batch or is it actually “replacement”?!

Anybody that is not tired of this very long series of super-stories (while connected people are entering DPR left, right & center), you must be super-human

joyandfaith:
Our source also claims that the company, which has been collecting data from Uber and Bolt without their knowledge, already has the data of over 5,000 drivers from both platforms.

“The company proposes to continue amassing data, they would now also be the consultant to help the Government collect service charges.”

Despite the obvious privacy violations, our source claims that the company’s proposal came from someone high up in the governor’s cabinet, and during the meeting, they revealed they were in the process of developing an app for taxi operations.

Fear Nigeria

trueguy573:
I'm quite informed about burn in and its causes. I intend to buy a new phone in a month's time and it definitely wouldn't be amoled. Just wanted to have a taste of amoled for a while. Burn in is inevitable for all screens just that oled burn in is quicker. Thanks for the heads up though.

Well since you said “for a while” no problem.

Some people with little or no info might actually want to try this trick for full long term use without knowing the implications.

Anyone that wants to try this, just have it at the back of your mind. Personally phones I have used start having very little trace of screen burn-in in about 2/3 years but depending on your usage activity it can occur way sooner. Activities like always putting your phone’s brightness at max, making it display high color gradients etc.

trueguy573:
Screenshots doesn't show amoled quality. It is a feature that doesn't show on screenshots but I assure my screen is purely amoled now. You would get a first-hand understanding if you try it out yourself.

OP you literally trying to change a cat into a tiger, you know what is called “Screen burn-in”

Enjoy the experience but I would advise you to start budgeting for a new screen.

DonShearer:
It’s about time we should know who’s telling the truth. I stand with lady Xtruzz. Kudos.

The truth can be a very hard pill to swallow.

I don’t know why I have the feeling we might see new recruitment alert from DPR out of the blues.

Now whenever I hear the word “transparency” i just smile to myself. It is well.

Opeyemi5:
Guy

Opeyemi5:
Congratulations on the sale of your generational phone

Why mention me in meaningless post

Thanks

I am grateful to you for taking time out to help me mind my business
