It is now very clear that the Nigerian Army acted within the ambience of the law.

Section 33 sub 2 of Nigerian constitution has justified their act:

The section states;
(2) A person shall not be regarded as having been deprived of his life in contravention of this section, if he dies as a result of the use, to such extent and in such circumstances as are permitted by law, of such force as is reasonably necessary –

(a) for the defence of any person from unlawful violence or for the defence of property:

(b) in order to effect a lawful arrest or to prevent the escape of a person lawfully detained; or

(c) for the purpose of suppressing a riot, insurrection or mutiny

Thank you. You can believe anything for as long as it makes you sleep well at night.

The Governor himself just said on TV state address now that there is no fatality yet some of you will rather believe there is your massacre.

My appeal to you is to please allow peace reign to restore peace and avert deaths. Please

Just in case you don't know and could not bother to ask. It was citing the account of Olu Phillips of Channels TV right from the scene and their tweet below.
Any way, please keep the peace. We don't want more death. Please.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Suffer for protecting the citizenry and so far no death recorded and those claiming massacre can't prove death.
The good news is that so far there is no death recorded and substantiated by a credible news media.
The governor has released the casualty list.
All we want is peace. Even the worst of wars still ended with a ceasefire.
Let there be peace please.

Litmus:
It has happened before and would again if US protestors take to the street as violently as reports coming in portray Nigerian protesters currently.And America is the world’s leading nation. I doubt any third world nation would tolerate the level of anarchy being reported.

leisuretym:
shame! you gave amnesty to bokoharam, negotiated with bandits in the north but opened fire on peaceful protesters in the south

SmartyPants:
From your last reply, it doesn't seem so.

We're going round in a circle anyway.

My question to you is simply, where is the proof that anyone was shot?

What is the name of one person who was shot?
Where is the picture of their injury?
Any video?
Any picture of soldiers actually shooting at someone in particular?

engrelvis:
peaceful protest ke? When Lagos is burning!! Dat curfew was needed!! Killing of protesters was something DAT cud v been avoided. Am really sad

ivolt:
These are the people who wants to replace the current government.
Cultists, robbers, and rapists?

Most societies have these groups but they are smart enough not to encourage or defend their actions.

Meanwhile keep tweeting #EndSars because you are not yet affected by the activities of these hoodlums.

Don't worry, they are coming for you and your family soon.

thebosstrevor1:
the army didnt shoot at any protesters, they shot in the air

What do you gain in spreading fake news

this is the video

https://twitter.com/9jastudios/status/1318665816817213442

do you see protesters falling on the ground

Edopesin:
The legit protesters should go home and save yourselves, the army have a justifiable reason to use excess force to stop this lawlessness being perpetuated by the hoodlums under the guise of EndSARS protesters

TimeManager:
You're a meat to the gods. Every Nigerians in every part of the country demanding for a better country. Davido, Sowore, Deji Adeyanju are in Abuja protesting, so many Yoruba across the country protesting. Anyone with your mindset will not reap the fruits of a better Nigeria.

kiss the truth!

Romanoff:
Is it just me or she always looks drunk?

Alexgeneration:
Now, these are the kind of questions we need to ask and find answers to them.




Blind patriotism and loyalty to incompetence will only lead us more into the abyss.

But once Nigerians are unproductive and want thias to farm rice they will eat , Dutch to milk cow and export mill to them , Chinese to do poultry, Norwegians to do fish for the, europeans to drill there own oil , Indian to send petrol , China to do bulbs , sockets , buckets, toothpick , Japaneses. Cars South Africa to provide contents to be watched on tv ....and all Nigerians do is fight ethnic and religious battles online and play Najia bet and consume other people hard work we keep getting hit by the dollars ......dollars to yen is about 120 .....who cares it even Good for the Japanese affordable toyota to Americans.

Bokoharam is the federal government they know what they are doing.

Zulum should stop putting himself at risk the federal government will end it when they want.

Bokoharam insurgency is just a federal government siphone pump... That's their NDDC!

They are allocating billions of dollars in the fight against insurgency.

They don't want this shit to end for now!

Just take good look at the rag tag Terrorist...those service cheifs have been compromised by the federal government.

They will end up killing zulum if he continue putting pressure!


Prof Zulum is taking too much risk for a good leader. Always putting his life in danger.

His advisors need to sit him down and make him understand that he can not help his people if he’s not alive. He can be effective from his office while preserving his own life...

Zulum is like someone who don't take advice especially when it comes to the well-being of his people.

Maybe there's no one he can trust enough to delegate some of his duties to.

He probably want his people to see him often, gives them so kind of "we're in this togeda" vibe.

Zulum should stop going to the villages for now... The federal government relegated them there just to be siphoning money!

This is very dangerous for him...

it a patrotic duty to support the policies example rifan kano chapter cannot account for 10bn naira rice loans given to famers in kano ....instead the Rifan chairman built a big mansion and rice mill for him self and claim 15000 beneficiaries have disappeared

pluto09:
There is no time to waste, as government is already making move to regulate that space.
If you have a dorm account just get a dollar denominated ATM.
You can then go ahead to open account with any exchange of your choice that allows Nigeria to buy crypto directly with cards.... Buying is easy and so is selling, you have a better control of your money.

Maxymilliano:
The masses are being economical with the truth to believe governors are thieves and rogues, it is more sinister than that.

The Video may have angered some people in the PDP opposition and that is understandable but it didnot even contribute 0.5% to Obaseki's victory. Tinubu thinks too much of himself, until hegets on the ballot himself, he wont know how much others detest his over-reaching control and looting in the South West. Save his use of thugs and killers, he would have found out sooner.

But this is Nigeria, go and reflect on what happened in Kogi State, when Buhari was interested in his paddy-paddy winning that election (not even for APC to win, but just something personal for Yahayya Bello. Go and reflect on the steps taken by the President).
Buhari is focused on tearing APC into shreds and making it the most hated party, before 2023. he knows it is the party that the Southerners are banking-on, to get the Presidency in 2023 and he will destroy that party "in the minds of Nigerians", before that 2023.
Edo is just a sample.
Imagine, making GanDollar and all those Northerners Buhari handed over APC leadership to, to lead an election campaign for Edo, in Southern Nigeria? You think he is that daft or he structured such campaign to fail?

Nigeria's President is Executive and has a lot of Power invested in it and will use it if it wants to.
For those pointing to Visa ban, What does a Buhari need to fear, at his age and with his 'stolen' wealth, about a US Visa ban?
if it is treatment, the Arab states will gladly take his money, Russia would, not to mention China!
Tell me what ANYONE who has the MONEY, can get in the US, that they cant get within China and Russia combined,..just mention one thing.
So, saying the US Visa ban threat contributed anything, is to miss the point.


Southerners in Nigeria are in for a very rough ride, if they dont use wisdom but allow the Northerners to fool them once again. Buhari is working for a Northern President in 2023, by destroying APC with his Policies.

Pineapplelove:
But the current Nigerian Vice President is a senior pastor. How come all these is happening under his nose

ibechris:
The time he was reaping it was not a scam but because it's gone south now,..he can give it a bad name just to justify his greed.

In life,there is time for sowing,reaping and even sorrow. Let every man know this. It is not always rosy in this life.

Mysticwebb:
Why not life imprisonment? Why just 10yrs and no dismissal from service? What kind of half justice is this?
Man know man is what happened at the General Martial Court, not justice to the victim at all.
