Where is buhari

Tinubu out of the country
Obasanjo out of the country
Why are they running away if they have good intentions

Wetin consign Obasanjo for this matter?

DontBullshitMe:
Saraki was not in Lagos Yesterday, but somehow barely an hour after the incident, he released a statement throwing the word : "massacre" carelessly around.

There's nothing careless about using the word massacre. That's exactly what it is.

nitrogen:
Revoke visas, void passports of politicians and their families, financial markets to not allow Nigeria to raise capital, etc. Also, Presidents of developed countries to threaten our politicians??

They did all that and more against Abacha, Abacha just turned the screw further on the population. Only Nigerians can save Nigeria by personal sacrifice and by blood.

popizaino:

[color=royalblue] Bringing Don j's tragedy into this is so low abeg

I understand everyone is emotional, and his comment sounds insensitive, but abeg.....

It is uncalled for.

People are taking out their anger at those killers on normal citizens on this thread. Boys eye dey red.

iamoyindamola:
Uncle larride why do they have snipers on top of Oriental hotel if it's not owned by tinubu

Whether or not it is owned by Tinubu, Govt have a duty to protect private investments in their country if they perceive a threat to those assets. They will do the same for MTN headquarters if they had intelligence youths are planning to burn it.

ToyinDipo:
Someone can be sponsoring an event due to his anticipated outcome, but then decide to suppress it due to the actual turnout of even. #justsaying

You are 100% correct, it is not a matter of speculation. Every Governor is sponsoring the sabotage of the protest, but when they invite Buhari/Buratai into the matter, their own done be. I believe other Governors will learn from this and find ways to die the protest without involving Army. Okowa has been buying out every protest group in Delta. Na the way be that rather than letting Army handle the matter.

BlueRayDick:
Well, it's good u said you "feel" they were blindsided. I would've felt same if i didn't see hired thugs attacking peaceful protesters in the past week, I would've felt same if thugs had not a lighted from a BRT bus. Like I said, we know what we know.

Thugs is the AC guys mode of operation. Bust a couple of bottle on people's head and disperse the crowd. Opening rapid fire weapons on civilian population is beyond them. Na Buratai/Buhari work be that.

Come to Rivers State, I will show you where Governors have sent militants with rapid fire weapons to commit mass murder and burn down villages. AC guys are puppies. They can't escalate violence in Lagos past NURTW thugs and they've always kept automatic weapons off the table when cowtowing populations to their will. This is not their work.

BlueRayDick:
Bros I live in Lagos, attended a Lagos state owned higher institution, and have friends who are aides to top politicians in the state. Believe me, I know what ai know.

Lekki toll gate is controlled by LCC which is a concessioninst company allegedly owned by Tinubu responsible for taking tolls on that expressway in conjunction with Lagos state government.

Talks about Tinubu's or Sanwoolu's political adversaries gaining access to the toll gate, taking out the cameras, switching off the lights prior to a military massacre will never make sense to someone like me knowing what I know.

I understand u may be permutating and trying to explore possibilities of people trying to sabotage their efforts, but people like us who are on ground will never buy that theory.

I'm not talking of Tinubus political enemies doing nada. I'm saying FG can take down those cameras with or without Tinubu and SanwoOlu knowledge or approval. If they have their approval, doesn't mean Tinubu and Jide know what is about to sele. Every Governor is working with FG/Army at this moment to restore normalcy. They may anticipate Army will get rough-handeded and brutalise some protestors which is acceptable to them to restore normalcy, and wise to take down those cameras to kill noise. They would never acquiesce to open firing of automatic rifles at unarmed Lagosians though. I feel Tinubu and Jide have been blindsided.

ToyinDipo:
The Odi massacre was obviously strictly between OBJ(army) and the Odi villagers, there was no way the outcome would affect Alamaesiagha, neither was there a way or need for him to intervene. OBJ gave the order for the fight back and it was very obvious.
The current protest is not just against FG, it's against the government almost at all levels, the way the protest is going it may affect all leaders at all levels, and from video evidences the fight back is not just from FG, in fact there is no major direct evidence against the FG at the moment, it's the people who benefit from this corrupt country who are orchestrating this. My people will say if inside death cannot kill someone, then the outside death can't.

Yes, many politicians are worried, but many politicians have successfully rode the wave including Wike and SanwoOlu. The most glaring direct evidence that FG is hawkish on this matter came as far back as last week when Army announced Crocodile Smile and said they are ready to intervene to restore law and order. State Govt also does not control the Army and the shooters are Army. That's all FG. In fact SanwoOlu was looking like the one on the side of the people till today.

iamoyindamola:
Are you saying coincidentally, random people removed the camera immediately the governor ordered a curfew?

If you are planning to disperse crowd in an area, you will take down camera based on 1 or 2 incase some things get out of hand. That is different from ordering massacre.

It could also be FG/Army taking down those cameras or FG/Army asking local Govt to take down those cameras incase things get out of hand. Every Governor will take down that camera if asked, or even preplanned in conjunction with the army. It does not mean you are in cahoots to massacre unarmed civilians. At some point, one or two lives would be lost in the process of quelling the protest which is acceptable to any Governor, but hardly any Governor will cosign Soweto-style massacre. That is political suicide.

BlueRayDick:
I'm definitely not buying this. The CCTV cameras of the toll gate were taken out, the lights were turned off and the army began the massacre. I'm to believe the army were the same people who took out the cameras and the light without Sanwoolu's blessings?

Hand of Esau, voice of Jacob. We know what we know.

This is not evidence. Anyone can take down those CCTV. Governor must not know every nook and cranny in his state, and even if he did, all Governors have been preparing to disperse protestors and taking down evidence is par for the course to avoid litigation, as some force will be used in doing so. Signing off on Tiananmen or Soweto style massacre is beyond the AC guys though and detrimental to their political futures. Tinubus presidential ambition died today for example. This is the work of military/Northern hawks who don't care about the political future of the AC guys.

A40:
The part that is annoying me so much. They didn't go to Orile, they didn't go to the actual hotbeds of violence. They went to where unarmed people were gathered and slaughtered them. They cut the lights, it was premeditated

How are they different from Boko Haram? What manner of cowardice is that

Lekki is the nervecentre of the protest. It's where all the social media campaigns and protest strategy emanate from. Same reason Universities were always targeted in any riots in the 1990s, you go after the intellectual power behind the movement to die it.

ToyinDipo:
And the AC contingent will be watching while the CPC contingent are orchestrating their fall right under their nose.

Just like Alamaesiagha was in the same party with Obasanjo when Army massacred Odi. It's nothing to do with Alams and maybe even OBJ was unaware. Army goes rogue often especially an illequipped and poorly trained force like Naija Army. Buhari is definitely culpable for this though wittingly or unwittingly. His reaction to ElZak-Zaky massacre is enough to hang him, but not the AC guys

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The FG is still the AC..

The same WhatsApp group.[/color]

I mean the CPC contingent

BlueRayDick:
Can u just imagine this

There is nothing to imagine. He doesn't control the army and could be a political victim in all this.

SanwoOlu and Tinubu are not dumb enough to turn against their political base and forever lose the support of South-West and Lagos especially. It is something FG would do but not the AC guys.

BlueMann:
Didn't do much, asides from one beautiful run.

No reason to panic sha. Na just matter of time.

I'm more talking about involvement in midfield play, and providing midfield resistance, whether by commandeering the ball or pressing opponents.

Attacking wise, I am sure he will continue to tick over

Romanoff:
Na now this news dey reach Nairaland.

Na wa o

DJ switch went live on IG showing things as they were happening. I saw them trying to remove. Bullet from a guy's leg with plier and gin.

Nairaland is a media platform and the owner of this site must tread with caution for his own safety. News did not hit front page for 3 hours for that reason

raumdeuter:
No be the same youths dem deploy today to disperse protesters, Most of them did not collect more than 2,000 Naira to disrupt protest that will benefit them

The going rate was N500

I am yet to be convinced by Havertz

And the pastor Yemi Osinbajo will not resign out of conscience. In any other country, any leader with a conscience will resign.

NihiIist:
Nobody is sure because the military packed the bodies into their trucks and drove off.

The moment I saw this video of a Police Officer being lynched with a knife sticking out his eye, I just knew Nigerian Army will open fire on protestors before day breaks

Mendy inspires confidence. Well scouted by Cech

Tochex101:
I must say it, this Timo is not a big game player!
What kind of rubbish display is this.

He is not a box player but he makes good runs

Emaprince:
Toll gate is on fire

Tollgate is a private asset, not a FG one.

This Govt just lost South-West vote

NihiIist:
Nobody is sure because the military packed the bodies into their trucks and drove off.

So Naija antiriot forces don't have rubber bullet and teargas? That's how they did ElZak-Zaky people

How many people died at Lekki toll gate?

Mendy save. Kepa hand for no reach

hensben:
Ibime aka ibimus tell me the reason Lampard prefer to play Pulisic on the right wing instead of left that he is more effective?.

And also I want to know why James start this game ahead of azpilicueta that is more experienced in ucl.

Hensbrain take time. Who is Ibimus?

Actman05:
Surprising.

The club said it's due to Covid - any player can fallout at any time and if two goalkeepers fall at the same time, Cech will make the bench. If three fall, he will start

Lampard cousin Redknapp was on TV saying Lampard has been raving about Ziyech. . .and some peeps here think Lampard is hoarding Ziyech

Ziyech is not ready for 90 mins, simple

See what Jorginho did to Ocampos na wetin he suppose do Robertson last season
