From the first moment i watched the video, I knew it was fake. But many are gullible, unintelligent youths every where.

My brother I can't believe the level of stewpidity in this country, that video was as fake as fake could go but the youths bought it without a single qualms

southniyikaye:
These types of talk get people angry...
So with all the video evidences na still lie?

For those quoting me, if there were no casualties, then the people sanwo olu went to visit in the hospital are what? Casualties of stampade or what?
The truth is nothing can justify that shooting.. You removed cameras, switched off lights and thereafter there were shootings and even if no one died, there were casualties who landed in the hospital..
I wonder from which planet dj kotec was doing her life video from

But I thought you people said millions were killed at Lekki? How can you now say "even if nobody died ..." Haba are you doubting your own figures? Please Aljazeera has been asking for the names of this that were 'massacred' at Lekki so please paste the names even 1 so that argument can end. Abeg answer us wisest man

alfredilly:
Yoruba claim against the Igbo is valid. Please read.

The attack on Tinubus properties in Lagos has divided the struggle and has given it to another arms of the enemy which is the PDP opportunist. It is a valid claim that the attack has taken an ethnic dimension culminating from the long standing sentiment fueled by Igbo tribal rhetoric on Yoruba.
If the uneducated aren't aware of this, at least the educated see on line everyday, on twitters, on Nairaland and comment sections of Facebook news.

While the protest was initially focused on creating a lasting change in our system, it is also expedient that we are not ignorant of the prevailing moods and how it developed.

I have my proof. For the past years, I have had my ear to the ground by following, reading and interpreting comment and feedback on social media especially Twitter.
We must realize that Twitter was, at first, the mobilizing front for the protest. It still remain the most influential site in advancing the course of the struggle. The #endsars is a Twitter trend and the mobilizing celebrities take their base from the app. So when I see developing stories and the accompanying opinion, how it easily metamorphosed into the intended sentiment of some people in contradiction of the objective realities, I realize the power wielded by ethnically conscious people in exploiting social media for their own agenda.

There has been weeks and months of culmination of ulterior motives. Anyone who observe and follow events will see a consistent pattern. Almost everyday, Yoruba, Igbo or Tinubu trends on Twitter and once I see that, I need not struggle to comprehend the orientation of the opinion. Whenever Igbo is trending, the prevailing opinions are always the rhetorics that Igbos are hardworking, Igbos are the most marginalized, Igbo holds their head despite attempt to suppress them: Igbo are the most successful ethnic group in Nigeria and Igbo are the most intelligent. Once Yoruba trend, opinion varies but there are also the insult on Yoruba that they arr slave to northern Fulani. Nairaland is where this opinion thrive the most and most of you know..
And Whenever Tinubu trend, it is about his dynasty, the bullion van, his role in enthroning Fulani man, sometimes, comparison with Awolowo. I also see this as an attempt to denigrate the Awolowo.. Even some few months ago, Awolowo trended on twitter and once I saw it, I quickly pounce on it knowing a tribal war was already raging. My intuition didn't disappoint me as some were already mobilizing opinion calling Awolowo a perpetrator of genocide. He was accused of masterminding all the ill treatment metted on Igbo during the civil war. This led to heated debate and name calling between Igbo and Yoruba. History were dug up to correct the false claim and lies foisted on the sage. It even took the verified account of some prominent Yoruba name to give the founding father a bit of soft landing. I guess the Igbo on twitter left on that day to fight another time.

Before Lekki killing two days ago, my intuition already told me an anti Tinubu protest was in the offing. It was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. For days, I have seen tweets accusing Tinubu of being the sole source Nigerian problem. He was accused of being responsible for the enthronement of Fulani man in Buhari. Most of this post tried to absolve Jonathan. The hasty comparison of Buhari administration to justify the later is a common rhetorics amidst south Easterners while the Yoruba mostly maintain a liberal posture that both men are part of the age-long succession of bad Nigerian leaders. But in recent days the tactics of glorifying GEJ as a way of condemning Buhari had held sway unchallenged by Yoruba because of the current mood against bad governance. Tinubu wasn't spared the attack too. Not that I absolve Tinubu, and I never defend him but seeing the desperation to nail him alone when the demanding was to effect systemic change made me sceptical of some people genuine intention.

Three days ago, the news of a former TVC employer, who was sacked at the behest of Bourdillon after walking away from a live show made the headline. The South easterner lady who is now an actress stormed the Instagram to claim she was sacked from TVC by order from Bourdillon after walking out of a live show in response to the Oba of Lagos declaration in 2015 that Igbo will be drawn in Lagoon. The allegations later drew the response of her fellow show anchor Morayo Afolabi Brown who claimed the order didn't come from Bourdillon.

The narrowing down of this to anti-Tinubu is a deviation fueled by brewing ethnic sentiment and it is aimed at serving the Igbo people age-long interest of ending the reign of APC government in Lagos ans replacing it with a PDP. Isn't it surprising that the Lekki massacre could not put the demand for Buhari resignation on front burner? I checked Twitter trend yesterday and #BuhariMustResign died down completely while #TinubuIsAKiller maintained the top spot. I care less about Tinubu but I doubt the readiness to push for Buhari resignation. There is also the tribal view the removing Buhari will aid Osinbajo to power.

We saw it clearly, it's ibos at work with their hate-filled shortsightedness and unbridled sentiment. The only tribe where a prof and an illiterate has the same opinion. Tell them!

ChikezieU:
it's some disgruntled elements like you that attached and circulated a fake video at the time when the real ones were being circulated. To use just one fake one to debunk the dozens of real ones is hypocrisy since YouTube has block all of the videos.

Now mr, Get all those video's that was circulated and the people that was killed and wounded and proof to us that they were fake.

you can even proof the list/facts of police brutality fake as well.

Please give names and list of those that died at the lekki toll gate that is all he's asking, even CNN/Aljazeera are asking. Give names please

Miracle2020:
No politician house in owerri. But Tinubu company is here.
The useless man that was deputy speaker for years is in Imo, nobody will touch him because he is not Tinubu.
Yoruba people see your life.

Thank you, there's no politician in owerri to burn their house, is only Tinubu that is a politician. The usual tribal bigots hiding behind protests to attack Tinubu

marsman:
Is he a government official, what is his own with the protest. You ibo people are trying to instigate the Yoruba to destroy there land and it will not work.

Thank you! This is a tribal score as clear as daylight, Oba of Lagos had nothing to do with the protest, just like Tinubu had nothing to do with it. Even miyetti Allah accused Tinubu of sponsoring the protest, but we know the tribe that hates Tinubu and they used the cover of the protest to score a tribal goal and others are not seeing in between the lines.

OneCorner:
Remaining Obi of Onitsha and Emir of Kano

Nothing will happen to oba of Onitsha, if you think any sane Yoruba went to oba of Lagos palace to burn it then you don't know Yoruba. There are people settling personal and tribal scores using the protest as disguise. You will see what will happen

Nightstalker:
Good let.rhe revolution start of other states are afraid we aren't

We are ready ... We will lead the revolution and I know the middle belt.and south easter will follow but it's the south west I don't trust they may follow then turn around and betray the revolution at the last moment

It's who they are ,just can't be trusted
Edo we lead and the world follows

You lead by freeing murderers and rapists and ritualists, what a way to lead

,

Coolcris:
In my own opinion, I think the illiteracy of the masses is the root cause of it. The whites colonized the blacks, so they'll always be miles ahead.

What made the whites capable of colonizing the blacks in the first place?

Michealky:
I would like you to compare Nigeria 1920s and Let's say America 1920s. Most people in America invested well in education in the 1800s. If you still have a great granny that's still alive, ask him or her how Nigeria was during their time. Nigeria just recently put education as a priority from 1980s.

Intelligency can be passed from a parent to a child. The whites kept on passing
their knowledge to their offsprings and that's why we have brilliant and rich white men world wide.

Now we don't really know the origin of Blacks, we might be lab experiment, blacks I think are a new form of creation and that's why we have limited amount of knowledge. We were once used as slave trade remember? We were like demons to every nation. Gosh! I'm already crying.
Blacks were used to build Egypt, if you can imagine. Seriously if you read the history of Blacks you'll weep.

The Bible said, God destroyed every living humans except Noah and his family and obviously they were white. So blacks were caused by genetic mutations hahahaha

We are actually the oldest race, though we got few intelligent people but the majority are just wack

U couldn't be more apt my brother, u are just so correct!!! Our brain is truly closer to that of the early men and still so savage... even the Asians sef still no reach white men!... the difference between us is just so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so marked!!!! Kai!

Is sad and unfortunate

Blackmann001:
I guess so..cuz this time around I stood my ground of my soft sidedness b4...yet its 6days..sh hasn't apologised

She will not apologize she's sure you will, is a battle of wits they engage weak men in. Don't go and look for something meaningful to do with your life

Blackmann001:
...my gf frankly told me sh is and will always b a feminist...yes you heard it!

Be it as bad as it sounds..I was not happy..not even having a reason to b angry...CU's sh said this after about one year of dating...

But now..am beginning to see that sh has all her feminist tendencies all firmly operational: sh would rather buy from. ladies what a man equally sells, sh doesn't agree sh is wrong over anything...sh never ever apologise wen sh is wrong, sh doesn't ever blame women on anything..they are always right and men are the exploitative ones..sh threatens to quit relationships easily when there is quarrel, sh boast of sh doing things herself....

Now in lieu of the recent fracas BTW us..av now seen the picture brighter....sh has been in charge of our relationship all along having things go exactly her way..I condescend most times cus I call it sacrifice and love...


How! How foolish I have been!

It also has to do with the sheepish way Nigerian boys/men woo ladies, if you begged with your life to have the rship then from day 1 you are meant to be the lesser partner who will carry the burden of the rship. Nigerian men have the lowest self esteem I have seen yet

My brother, this is a discussion I have had severally with people, and I keep exploring various reasons!, if I go in depth, believe me my post will become prosaic and lengthy for readers. If I continue my analysis with you, you will understand I didn't just wake up to write this, but rather an in depth analysis of events from years and years of critical questioning and analysis. It isn't a research I'll like to delve into as more than enough research abound, and all points towards same fact underscored in my post .

Don't bother explaining to them because for them is about defending some crappy racial dignity and not about the CLEAR truth that stares us all in the face. We are the older race and of course closer to the early men with their small confused brain. Don't ever compare any race to white people the difference is clear to even the blind

HuntSon:
Keep your false predictions to yourself! Enough with the MISINFORMATION, keep mute if you don't know anything about something!

Shut up go back and read the OP's response to my comment, mumuism once again

HuntSon:
Oh pls shut up!!! People were gay before Hollywood started including LGBTQ characters!

In boarding schools, heteros are always the majority so your point, trash!!!

What the Bleep is balanced interaction with females? Do you know most gay men tend to shift towards females more than males?? Ogbeni close your mouth if you don't know something!

Ask anybody f they can make sense of the thrash double speak you just typed in one breath. If you were worth it I would have typed beyond here you worthless piece of crap. Did you ask the OP if what I predicted were untrue? Mumuism

There's no money you fraudulently spend from a bank account you won't pay back. Bank data backups are even kept off site so your balance yesterday is known by the bank even if you burn down the whole of their branches. This is nonsense

Let me advise you young man, you are most likely below 18 or 20 years, you attended boys only school or you have elevated fear of mixing with girls, and because you see Hollywood sell the crap narrative about gay existence as being normal you buy it. Take it from me if you have had a balanced interaction with the female folk and have no emotional issues you can't be gay. After you have mixed properly with girls and tasted a good coochie here and there the current nonsense will stop. There's no nonsense as advocated as the db gay movement. It's just a passing phase as you are leaving adolescence and your sexuality is still confused. Check yourself emotionally and mentally

FarahAideed:
It's clear the only thing that can calm things I'd the exit of Buhari ..he has been a terrible terrible leader ..if this goes on for another two weeks our democracy might be truncated

Buhari created SARS abi? Or SARS was well behaved under President Jonathan? Is the protest against Buhari or bad governance in general? Where is your brain?

,

PresidentAtiku:
The almajiri thugs don't know their left from their right. They collect peanuts and set out on the streets to kill.

Sadly, most of them are not even Nigerians but gained entrance through the porous borders in the north. They bear similar names and so we can't even sieve.

They shouldn't understand the protest is to reset Nigeria.

God go help us o

I have been saying this for days, we need to let the youths know this

blackpanda:
In his mind the protest is against apc abi

You can see that only few could think to the level you just displayed, for the majority the Papa is 100% right, but I say to Papa: "Was SARS good under Jonathan," or did Buhari create SARS? The Papa is trying to bend the situation to fit his own narrative

Charmingrascal:
If judgement is not hastily served.
We shall attack their families

All the youths must hear this word of rare wisdom. Please spread this word if you are reading this

[quote author=SilverNorGold post=95024779][/quote]If you are intelligent you would have asked yourself the fundamental question of "must Nigeria be together?" The rich European countries we die to go how big are they? The first 3 richest African countries how big are they? Don't be a dumb person with good intentions like Buhari

Davash222:
First child in 2017 and now has 4 kids.

4 kids in 3 years

We shouldn’t blame everything on government.

God bless you, this is why I keep saying majority of black people will continue to die of low IQ, even in America if you got 4 kids you will chop your nyash. Police first problem is illiteracy, most Nigerians have to be taught that we can't think poorly and expect good governance. Tell me how do you bear 4 kids in 3 years and not expect to suffer? Every black person just feel entitled to having kids, I just laugh at the people in this country

shigoawesu:
Some people can't reason straight anymore
They must hate on Buhari even when it's obvious
Se na today Nigeria Police because worse

You won't believe that some teenage clowns are still quoting to oppose the open truth I just put to them. You can see where the country is headed when clue mess is running rampart? Pls help me answer them

Moneyboyz:
So Mr last prophet, because Bulhari didn't create SARS now means he shouldn't end it because people have been enduring during past administration?

Read what the person I quoted said then ask me again

marshalcarter:
This government is the worst in history

I'm sure it was Buhari that was president in 1996 when she was shot, so many unfortunate brains walking around. For many morooons protesting Buhari created SARS, see why mumuism will ultimately crash this laudable protest. Was SARS good under Jonathan? The 'Apo six' killings by police was it under Buhari?

Cyberterror:
The only thing I liked about Sowore was that he helped us to remove the corruption-infested regime of Jonathan. But since then, he has lost his way believing the government should have compensated him with an office.

You are wrong and is unfortunate that you are part of those Sowore fights for, unfortunate

momodub:
Not bad come here after 5 years every thing go scarter and burst

Not NAF, they are the most professional military agency along with Navy. Check any NAF barracks

EdiskyHarry:
The way Fulani are carrying out all sort of crimes with boldness and confidence is what I don't understand.

They do a jazz that make people think less and even forget their atrocities and it works very well. Those that know are here on NL
