Vaughanlanrewaj:
Clear enough. Thank you sir.

Don't forget to investigate the likely nexus between the viral audio where the leader of IPOB was instructing his impressionable young members to go burn down Lagos and mentioned specific places before the Lagos carnage and to our shock, those places are burnt now allegedly by IPOB members acting on their leaders instructions in a case similar to the recent bombing carried out in Rivers State by the terror group.

So far, no one was killed at the Lekki incident yet so much fake news creatives were posted online and here on Nairaland by IPOB members to incite the carnage.

The youths who came from the South East to join the protest in Lagos when same protest was going on in the South East, was their mission to burn down Lagos as instructed by the IPOB leader?


Those who posted all the fake creatives; were they doing so to distract so their members can cowardly burn down Lagos.

When will the FG release the identity of the people and organisations pumping money into the account of the 'protest' leaders to hype and make viral those fake creatives of dead people loaded in hilux vans, wrapped with blood stained flags etc?

Can't the DJ switch be officially invited for questioning when you said "no one is above the law"?


#justice for Lagos and victims of the Lagos carnage

Let me just believe you are paid to do this, if not,
If this is truly how evil and twisted your mind is?
God i wouldn't wanna have any encounter with anything from your generation.

helinues:
Don't ever compared Subsidy protest with ENDSARS protest... Even upon how organised the subsidy protest was ( Organised by Cambridge Analytical on behalf of the then opposition) , there was still some deaths and casualities..

To honest with you i don't think you are residing in this country,
Cause if you are and you are still saying this things then it's a huge shame on you.

23 Nov. 2020

Mr. Jonathan Hawkins

VP, Communications

CNN Centre

Atlanta, Georgia

U.S,

RE: HOW A BLOODY NIGHT OF BULLETS QUASHED A YOUNG PROTEST MOVEMENT

Our attention has been drawn to an ‘investigation’ by CNN, entitled ‘How a Bloody Night of Bullets Quashed a Young Protest Movement’ and aired on 18 Nov. 2020, in which the international news organization said it had ”uncovered that Nigerian security forces opened fire on unarmed protesters” at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos, Nigeria, during the #EndSARS protest.

We write to put on record that the report did not just fall short of journalistic standards, it reinforces the disinformation that is going around on the issue, it is blatantly irresponsible and it is a poor piece of journalistic work by a reputable international news organization.

In the first instance, the report did not live up to the most basic of the core principles of journalism – balance and fairness. According to the website www.ethics.journalists.org, ”balance and fairness are classic buzzwords of journalism ethics: In objective journalism, stories must be balanced in the sense of attempting to present all sides of a story. Fairness means that a journalist should strive for accuracy and truth in reporting, and not slant a story so a reader draws the reporter’s desired conclusion.”

Rushing to air such a momentous story without presenting the government’s side is inexcusable and indefensible. CNN said it contacted over 100 protesters and family members, but did not speak to one official of Nigeria’s federal government. While CNN said there was no response from the army and that officials of Lagos State would not speak in view of the Judicial Panel that is investigating the matter, it did not say what effort it made to speak with any official of the federal government.

The truth is that CNN did not even attempt to reach the federal government. Nima Elbagir, who presented the report and most probably led the investigation, is conversant with the Minister of Information and Culture, who is also the Spokesman for the Federal Government of Nigeria, yet did not say that she even tried to reach the Minister. It is therefore strange, to say the least, that she would rush to air such an important ‘investigation’ report without getting the government’s side. In other words, Nima, and by extension CNN, breached the most basic of the core principles of journalism – balance and fairness.

Another serious breach by CNN, in its ‘investigation’, is that the network relied heavily on unverified footages it harvested from social media.

CNN was not present at the Lekki Toll Gate on the night of the incident. Neither its reporter nor cameraman was there, but it relied on eyewitnesses. Well, this is fraught with danger. While experts say eyewitness testimony is a potent form of evidence, it is also subject to unconscious memory distortions and biases, Unlike CNN, a reporter from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Pidgin Service, Damilola Banjo, was at the Lekki Toll Gate on the night in question, and was quoted as saying soldiers shot sporadically into the air and not at the protesters – a direct contradiction of the position taken by CNN who relied on second and third-hand information.

In airing its ‘investigative’ report, CNN conveniently forgot that on Oct. 23rd 2020, it emphatically tweeted, from its verified twitter handle, that the military killed 38 people when it opened fire on

peaceful protesters on Tuesday, Oct. 20th 2020. Almost a month later, the same CNN – after a supposedly exhaustive investigation – is now reporting only one death from what the world was made to believe was a massacre. Is CNN not embarrassed by this sharp climbdown? Has CNN owned up to this and apologized for its faux paz?

It is also interesting that while CNN obtained footage showing when the vehicles carrying soldiers left their barracks and arrived at the Lekki Toll Gate, it could not obtain any footage showing the bodies of those supposedly killed in the ‘massacre’. After all, forensic ballistic experts will most likely testify that firing military grade weapons into a crowd will not leave anyone needing a microscope to look for blood or bodies at the scene.

CNN has said it stands by its story, and that ”our reporting was carefully and meticulously researched”, This is baffling, considering that the story lacks fairness and balance, as we have pointed out, and that the organization relied heavily on manipulated social media videos. This resort to an escapist cliche seems more like a face-saving measure by an otherwise respectable news network caught in the blinding glare of ‘fake news and disinformation’ headlamps. Or how else does one explain the arrogant defence of an international news network that would not even respect the most basic principle of journalism?

One of CNN’s star eyewitnesses in its ‘investigative’ reporting is DJ Switch. Unknown to CNN, DJ Switch’s story on the Lekki Toll Gate shooting has changed several times. From claiming she counted 78 bodies of protesters who were supposedly killed by soldiers on the night of the Lekki Toll Gate incident, she has twice, at least, changed the casualty figure from 78 to 15 and then to 7, without a shred of evidence. CNN cannot pretend not to know that for anyone to act as a witness, his or her credibility must be unimpeachable. DJ Switch’s credibility does not meet that threshold.


In one of social media videos of DJ Switch that was used by CNN (see attached link 1), the lady (DJ Switch) claimed she and some unnamed persons carried dead bodies and dropped them at the feet of the soldiers. She also claimed she spoke to their Commander before the soldiers threw the bodies into the vans. Curiously, for someone who was streaming live on Instagram during the Lekki Toll Gate incident, there was not a single video or picture of the dead bodies. Not even Godson (Uyi), another CNN star witness whose video was also used by the network, or any of the hundreds of protesters, all armed with smart phones, at the scene recorded a video or shot a picture of dead bodies being carried away by soldiers.

Talking of Godson, despite claiming to have analyzed hours of footage, it is curious that CNN conveniently left out key parts of Godson’s 57-minute, 5-second video (see attached link 2). For example, 13 minutes, 40 seconds into the video, there were voices, in street lingo, in the background telling Godson that the gunshots were not from the soldiers (na boys dey shoot, that na local gun sound….it’s boys, meaning touts and hoodlums, who are shooting.

That’s local gun). Some 20 minutes,14 seconds into the video, Godson confirmed that the boys had brought out their guns and were shooting (local okah, he called it). Some 23 minutes, 14 seconds into the video, Godson said ‘wait, all these boys dey shoot’ (meaning gunshots rang out from the touts/hoodlums). CNN, in its rush to nail soldiers and tell a ‘radically different story’, conveniently left out these parts of the Godson video, which could have shown that armed hoodlums invaded the Lekki Toll Gate that night, and could have hit any of the protesters as they shot sporadically. This is clearly a ploy by the CNN reporter/presenter to manipulate viewers of its ‘investigative’ report and force them to draw the reporter’s desired conclusion! Another video showing an armed protester at the Lekki Toll Gate (see attached link 3) was apparently not among the footage reviewed by CNN!

It is shocking that all through its ‘investigation’, CNN did not for once mention the fact that six soldiers and 37 policemen were killed during the #EndSARS crisis, which also left 196 policemen injured, not to talk of the monumental destruction of government and private properties across the country. Instead, the network is fixated on the massacre that never happened. Are security agents not human beings too? Are they not entitled to the protection of their human rights?

For the record, this is not the first time that CNN has carried an inaccurate or hoax story about Nigeria. In February 2007, Nigeria accused CNN of staging one of its reports from the country’s Niger Delta region, showing gunmen holding 24 Filipinos hostage. Of course, CNN and its then Africa Correspondent Jeff Koinange flatly denied the charge, saying the network did not pay for any part of the report. Later, in an email reportedly sent to a friend, Mr. Koinange was quoted as saying: “Of course we had to pay certain people to get the story… You do not get such a story without bribing.” So much for denials!

As a form of remediation, Nigeria’s Federal Government demands an immediate and exhaustive investigation from CNN into its ‘investigative’ report on the Lekki Toll Gate incident to determine, among others, its authenticity, whether or not it met the basic standards of journalism and also the selective use of unverified social media videos to manipulate public opinion. While it is up to CNN to accede or not, please note that the Federal Government reserves the right to take any action within its laws to prevent CNN from aggravating the #EndSARS crisis with unprofessional, irresponsible, one-sided, inciting and sensational reporting that is capable of pitching Nigerians against themselves and setting the country on fire.

You see all this people supporting this government, if the youths dosen't succeed in saving this country from all those bloodsuckers, i promise you that your kids and grandkids will suffer so much in this country that they will curse the day you gave birth to them.
But then again i guess you couldn't care less as spiritually deranged as you are.

From the destruction associated with this protest, its time the SE governors flush IPOB out of the region.

These touts and holigans that Nnamdi Kanu inspires wrecked havock in the eastern states.

Some of them are okada and keke riders, Some are Barrow pushers, some are touts without any skill or work, some are armed robbers, some are traders.

These uneducated bunch want to destroy the sweat of hardworking igbos. Some of these igbos started with nothing and have made something out of their lives. While the touts who refuse to take responsibility for the choices they made in their life, want to use the protest to destroy the labour of others.

If INNOSON, IBETO, COSCHARIS ETC, folded their arms and was blaming the north for their poor background, they would not make anything out of their lives.

Nnamdi kanu who is a failure home and abroad, using Biafran stuggle to enrich himself. Cashing out on the emotions and sentiments of his gullible followers. Telling failures like himself that someone in the North is responsible for their backwardness.

The Governors should:

1) Ensure that all keke, okada riders, barrow pushers, labourers and traders have identity and registration.

2) they have to sign undertaking that if for any reason any of their members engage in any thing that affects peace in the region. They will either fishout the IPOB members among them or the entire keke riders will be banned.

3) same goes with the traders. Any trader involved in IPOB activities, will cause the government to relocate the market to an uncomfortable place. Unless other traders fish them out.

The leaders of such groups will now have the responsibility for fishout IPOB members among them, before they spoil things for the rest of them.

That frustrated fraudster nnamdi kanu, who could not attend his parents burial out of fear, cant be causing problems for us.

A word is enough for the wise.

God punish the person that said this you never flush out all the Fulani killers nah people that has been destroyed by same people that is supposed to turn them into somebody.
Anyway sha let them try first and see the outcome.

Oh now you guys are worried about the medias and what they broadcast abi, when snakes and monkeys are carting away with the country's money it never bothered you guys then.

Let's see how it goes.

Righteousness89:
See How Foolish and Stupid devil turns the image of God to..

See that one with Calabash. They Have Succeeded in Calabashing their Destinies..

Engaging in Fraud under any Guise is Evil!
It is Wickedness!
It's an Acquisition of Curses For yourself, Children and Unborn Generation..

Come out From among such Wickedness and Make Peace with God Almighty..

So if you say this about them now, what will you say about our politicians and government.

Well we all know what happened in 2009 the birth year of bitcoin when bitcoin was worth less than 1 dollar then it began to ride the storm and today 1 bitcoin is worth nothing less 4 million.
Now 2020 the era of etherium, it has begun to ride it's own storm currently 1 etherium is worth about 106,000 naira and it is fighting it's own achilles heel now which is covid 19 which is drawing the world economy back but believe you, me the very moment this pandemic is over the rest will be history. Let me tell you guys why bitcoin is worth more than 4 million naira now, well it is simple the demand for it increased massively some countries started adopting as legal means of payment now bitcoin is too costly to be purchased right now only the top rich dogs can afford it. so now the poor dogs like you and i has shifted our attention to the second in line which is our dear etherium. Are you getting the picture now, a lot of us are trying to stock up enough etherium now there by increasing the demand for it by thousands every day so quote me any where before this year runs out etherium is going to worth more than 300,000. So fellas what are you waiting for why don't you join me let's ride this storm together and come out rich.
Oh and the reason why it took bitcoin so long to get to where it is now, was because back then the world was in analog mode, the same is not the case now the world has blown full digital with with a lot of things happening and so many guys looking for ways to hide there money from many agencies, this is for those that will say how long will it take etherium to get to where bitcoin is now. I know you guys can feel where am heading.
Please this is not for everyone, not everybody is meant to be rich.
But if you feel how am feeling about this, then congratulations we are going to be the next batch of millionaires in no distant time.
Please this is not free nothing of this magnitude comes freely but it is not too costly.
If you have a spare 5000 then you can definitely be a part of this history and together we can be each others support and together we will grow.
