There's a video of Lekki Tollgate where soldiers were were shooting into the air and not at the protesters. This is the part of the videos that set people on rampage

The video was a 2 minutes or less.....did the video show you the bullets on the ground that hit the victims confirmed by a correspondent on channelstv ?
Another question...were you there when the shots were fired?
Wait for the protesters that are alive to testify what happened esp those battling with their lives at the hospital!
Then we will know whether the soldiers fired to the moon or fired at protesters carrying the nigerian flag!

EgusiShankly:
See I must make myself clear , I don't work for the government, I also don't support the use of brute force but citizens should also not complicate the job of security agents..
There is no evidence of soldiers shooting directly at protesters.. Those injured may have been from the actions of hoodlums or stray bullets..

Oga from your statement its obvious that you were not and never there when it happened!
Wait to hear the testimonies of the over 23 victims of the bullet wounds in the hospital that were visited by both the lagos state governor and the vice president before speculating!
they are the ones who will state clearly who shot them...until then,dont speculate or conclude!
Besides, why bring in soldiers when an anti riot squad had already been mobilized by the IGP?
Lastly,if you follow the trail of announcements from the governor of lagos,it was apparent that the soldiers shot at the protesters according to the governor!

oloriLFC:
The army said they didn't send anyone out. The state governor said soldiers only shot in the air. Then came out to commiserate with the families of those who died. Lies from both ends. Yet some misinformed people here are playing the government 's games. You will not believe it until it comes to your doorsteps on day. Wicked fools making stupid and insensitive comments! If una like ban me. Who Nairaland help?

Exactly!
Some nigerians are so insensitive!
Even the Governor said the shooting was done by powers beyond him!
In other words,there was actually shooting that took place without his knowledge!
This is why the presidency had remained silent so there will be enough time for their online agents to spin their wicked narrative and deceive the faint hearted!
Smh

oloriLFC:
law and order to people who were without arms and are peaceful? You people will be supporting nonsense, reason we are where we are as a country. Why did the street lights and billboard go off? Why were CCTV cameras removed during the day? Some people deserved to be really killed cos of their heartless statements. If your family member was one of those killed, would you come out to say this? Nairaland is very annoying!

As in ehh....

Lagoon0:
Dont misunderstand me. Only twelve is different from saying just twelve. Im not justifying the act but I'm being carefully investigating the matter

Whether its 'just' 12 or only 12 is irrelevant!
The question is did a single Nigerian lose his life?
Were innocent Nigerians injured and in the hospital?
That should form part of your investigation or narrative!

EgusiShankly:
Madam a 24hrs curfew was in place..
Soldiers were there to maintain that order; to maintain lives and properties

So who were the people the government visited with series of bullet wounds?
What about the bullets seen in lekki toll gate?

Shattuck:
look people died there are videos don't let that one incident distract you, it was like when the govt freed prisoners and blamed it on protesters, or the govt just making it look like the protest was just about the police when we were also talking about bad govt they are trying to push a narrative, that isn't wholly true, we know for a fact that unarmed protesters were killed at the tollgate the numbers may be debated but the incident cannot be denied, that itself is a crime against humanity.we are angry not just because of the numbers but because of the incident, I was so pissed to know that they were shot at before I even knew about the number of casualties.

Oga don't waste your time explaining to people here!
Some of the people here have multiple accounts hence,when they make a statement,they are the same persons that respond to it using another moniker!
The aim of the cabals in government is to ensure they play down on the carnage that took place on Tuesday!
When they are done,they will make it look like a tribal issue or politics thereby putting doubts in the minds of weak!

Lagoon0:
Yeah it was overhyped . amnesty international said only 12 died from both lekki and Ikeja. Now the question is why did they remove the cameras.

Only 12?
You are calling 12 only?
Is that how we consider human lives in this country?
In saner climes,the death of one person can be felt through out the country but here we only weep if the number of deaths are overwhelmingly high!
Too bad!

tamdun:
Is Tinubu the only politician in Nigeria, why single out him alone?

i may be wrong but there was a feeling from hoodlums that he had something to do with the genocide at lekki due to the sudden power outage and the removal of cctv cameras before the carnage!

howfarseun:
you are stupid

Please edit and help me add 'EXTREMELY' to the 'stupid'!

Xchristain:
For those asking why soilders are deployed to protest grounds,well here's your answer.

The police just can't handle these violent protesters who use this opportunity to perpetuate criminal acts.

If soilders appear and start target practicing, we'll call it a massacre abi?

smh
Are the soldiers supposed to use live ammunitions on their own citizens?
what happened to the use of tear gas?

JoshOxborn:
VVD is just overrated, that's it.

Based on what statistics is VVD overrated?
I guess the term OVERRATED means something else to you!
You can hate a player but downgrading his abilities is illogical!

mvem:
from reports VVD had an ACL injury which is likely out of season

ok!
Onward!
No time!

seems offside

mvem:
Klopp said it isn't a good one...Liverpool only have 2CBs in Matip and Gomez. Matip is far better than Gomez but injury prone. Also Fabinho can be used as a CB...it is defensive crisis to me considering Allison is far away from resuming to

Klopp said it doesnt look good but he also said he is yet to know the extent of the injury!
Klopp is not the team doc!
Let wait until the doc's analysis has been made on VVD,then we will know how far!
For now,we still have other players to step in!
No need for this back and forth unless you just want to unnecessarily prolong an needless argument!

mvem:
oga VVD injury is a very long one. Just dey pray no be ACL

Boss our coach can always improvise...besides,VVD is not a player known to have lengthy injuries like some who go 5 months for ordinary bruise
....another chance for another player to step in and fill up the space!
Get well soon VVD!

EbukaHades10:
Fab and Matip is the best option now pending news about Virgil then Thiago plays Dm with Hendo and Gini in the middle.


I think it's time he starts Jota in the center

Exactly!
Chai but I fear for matip ohh....he is too injury prone!
But his pair with VVD is too secure and reliable!

EbukaHades10:
"LiVARpool" after this one? Make we dey watch film na

We tried esp for a team that got thrashed 7-2 and then played an in form Everton side without VVD for over 70 mins!
More work to be done!
Just hope klopp will pair fabinho and matip in defence instead of Gomez,that's if VVD is not fit enough for the game against ajax!

Now that VAR has favoured Everton,haters will be quiet...had it been Liverpool, they will be crying blue murder!
For those who are disputing the deserved red card issued to richarlison,please encourage ur club players to try that reckless tackle and see if your club won't end up with the bashing manutd receive from spurs!
Nice game Everton!
More work from Liverpool defensively!

victorazyvictor:
Ehh!!!

But this season how far?

First,define the term OVERRATED!
Secondly,the league doesn't end today!
You can go 6 matches unbeaten and yet not get pass 6 position!
You don't judge a club by their performance now...wait till we get pass the freaky and jampacked December and January before making your conclusion!

victorazyvictor:
This season, Liverpool is.

The term 'overrated' is the issue!
You don't use such terms for clubs like Liverpool esp considering they blew everyone away last season!

Unrated900:
Sorry for my utterances


now a retired police officer attached to Awkuzu SARS who led his boys to a naming ceremony and arrested attendees which many of the arrested never made it out alive, unfortunately, Mr Chijioke John Ilonanya was amongst those who never made it out alive.


That particular phrase not making any sense,he was arrested and never come out alive


We knew sars are usless but not to the point of arresting someone without evidence and killed him

Are you sure he isn’t an arm Robber or cultist

Let’s me realistics before judging

Some of you speak as if you are not from this country!
More than 20 years ago,My uncle went out in the evening by 7pm to purchase some fries in a nearby street...Sars operatives saw him and arrested him for no reason!
My grandmother(his mother) had to beg them plus some money before they reluctantly released him from their vehicle after we were instantly informed by his friend that my uncle was about to be taken to the station!
Based on what one of the sars operatives said,My Uncle was very fortunate because those who get to their station are instantly presumed armed robbers or cultists and hardly make it out alive the next day!

engrtee:
2012.

this is 2020. move on

So that his likes can continue such gruesome killings unabated?
Even cases that are 15-20 years old can still be reopened if an injustice was discovered!
I pray this doesn't happen to your loved ones!

Jack500:
Man u no fit qualify for that group with the nonsense they have been playing this season.

hmmmm....dont write them off ohh......even if you manage to draw them after full time,just start praying ohh!
The ref might call all the opposing players when they are about to enter their club bus that there is a penalty against them!

hustla:
Easy group smh

you call atalanta and ajax easy teams?
smh

We are indeed our own problem!
Instead of tasking the authorities to be bring up stiffer punishments for reckless drivers and also cautioning drivers to drive safely, one misguided and blindfolded folk is advising people to see their pastors before embarking on a journey forgetting that accidents happen even on a street!

ghettokid1:
congrats my guy...even though the victory was undeserved

Can you also call this stat underserved?
So a club as big as Arsenal only managed 3 shots on target for an entire 90 mins and you think they deserved anything from this match?
Oga stop overyanning and accept your L in peace and move forward...Even arteta admitted Liverpool was better than them!

rentAcock:
Liverpool 0 Arsenal 3

Stop playing liverpool vs arsenal on PES 2020 using regular stage!

donMIG:
Be specific
In the LEAGUE...

ATHLETICO MADRIC CAME N RAPE US DIA

He is referring to the premier league and not the champions league!
But since you want to go there,please tell me another club aside Atletico Madrid that has managed such feat!
I also hope Atletico won the champions league trophy for taking out the defending champions?
Oops i remember now how that euphoria ended!
They got corky and lost to lepzig in their quarter finals and went trophyless!

donoro:
3 shots in a game of 90 mins arsenal fans are a different breed

As in ehh...imagine if they had won!
Twitter would have been buzzing by now with memes of how they defeated the defending champions!

No be who first call police dey win case ohhh
