Sharraaap there! The government response to the peaceful protesters at lekki tollgate was peaceful ba?

Kingdemu:
You see why I've been saying it is no longer a protest but civil unrest? Infact it legally ceased to be a protest the moment curfew was imposed.

It's unfortunate that the situation has reached this level. However, 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

Is Peaceful Protest the same as riot, insurrection or mutiny?

Jostoman:
thunder fire you there.

Answer the questions chief liar.

Alwaysachick:



Like we enter them for free....you are a joke

Wow I thought we were friends? Lol


Anyway, no right thinking human would support the massacre of peaceful protesters. I'm only worried for the nation and its people cos there would be no infrastructure and jobs to return to after all this. If this continues, you may not have another opportunity to quote me cos the internet would go down.

MTN already has reported a breakdown in Lekki axis.

omo,the number of viewer eh!

You are destroying what belongs to you, the rich don't enter BRT.

These youths needs to calm down and think. Try and engage the govt in a meaningful way. If you destroy everywhere, have you not destroyed the future you claim to be fighting for. . What a shame.

mamotalk:

yes but not at the detriment of South West. everything has limitations.

no worry check out what is happening in rivers now...juju dong involved

GodSaklek:


Shut the fucck up,you hides inside your home typing rubbish,those buses are more important than the lives lost?,why don't you say the same thing when soldiers are about to kill young people out there that are fighting for u to have a better life,you hides in your room typing rubbish, assume that member of your family are amongst those protester that soldiers open fire at, you won't be here yawning rubbish..

Idiott

u took the whole words out of my mouth. Nigerians have been conditioned to think that their lives are worthless and thats why some fools here online talk trash against out warriors.

Abudu2000:
i agre with u but this fight is for us all and we shouldn't discourage others by calling them cowards instead we encourage them to join the peaceful protest which will benefit us all. The independence we enjoy today ppl died for it, the whites didn't wake up one morning to abolish slavery, ppl fought and paid with their blood. If we continue to endure this corruption it will remain for as long as the ppl keep shut. I morn all out heroes who sacrificed their lives for this they will forever be remembered. I will rather die for something than live for nothing!!!

You spoke well....

Anyone who wants a change should join and show it,not typing insensitive comments on SM.

# shut down the damn shithole!

Acidosis:



This is wrong. These buses were purchased with your money

we need to stop this because I can see how we are helping our peoverty to reach highest level ,cos we are adding go the problem at hand ....rip to the dead....but we are not helping matters ...

Are you aware that the commencement of the curfew was extended to 9pm; or you just want to be foolish, useless and miserable?

You're talking rubbish and you deserve a beating.

mosegifted:
Just see what Federal Government incompetency has cost the country, in a saner country at most 48 hours peaceful protest will keep the president of the country standing up in response to live interview and addressing the nation... But in our country, buhari and is cartel believes they can always bend the people.. Okay.. Let it been know that Federal government ordered the killing of her citizens on the 20.10.20

Sensible post from a responsible person not like some unfortunate people here on Nairaland.. A president is out of the country when his country is on fire without even addressing the nation

martineverest:
TVC is about to be set on fire

job loses to the Masses....tinibu to collect insurance payments

WizzyVine:


Take away your unreasonable quote.

The Youths killed yesterday were unarmed and were not violent in any way.

The hoodlums that were paid by politicians to unleash violence in the city were protected by security agents and there was nothing done to them.

Peaceful protesters gathered at Lekki with no weapons and no violence. Soldiers attacked and shot at the defenseless youths after switching off the lights to cover the truth.

If you quote this nonesense with your distorted view of the said constitution on the streets, angry youths would not hesitate to give you what you deserve.

my friend don't say what you know nothing about.
What happened yesterday was a confrontation between mopols and armed protesters.
They armed protesters were exchanging fire with the mopols led by soilders.
Those that re on ground re aware that some of the protesters re armed with guns and they escalated the issue

beycity:
They won't shut us up!!! They killed our fathers and nothing happened, they are killing us and something will definitly happen!!! Make we kukuma scatter everything !!.

You are dumb.
After destroying it, govt will allocate another billions to replace it.

This is not a protest, this is a riot, it is because you are too uneducated, you cannot think.

martineverest:
it's owneed by tinubu...your view women were screaming that hoodlums were at their gate

So?

Tinubu is their problem, they know his house. TVC has employed many people who's lives and means of livelihood will be taken away by this hoodlums...

Many senseless destruction by so called protesters are unnecessary

Coward ppl. wetin u see for Lekki. U who never see hundreds dead bodies on ground. You'll soon regret it if u think you'll use deads to make media propaganda. Shiites & Igbos have seen the horror of violent protest. If u think calling massacre or genocide will save u, add more volume and face reality.
Instead of going for peaceful dialogue u resort to violence, stop giving those burning and destroying places name hoodlums tell the truth and call them angry protesters.
Blood have been spilling in many part of this nation, u neva mind, now few ppl drop u're shouting massacre! You should've taken lesson from northern insurgency where hundred thousands died, millions rendered homeless. Inevitable is going to happen!

Celebrities and influencers, where are thou?

ignis:
I am sure the killing of the protesters yesterday agreviated this.

ofcourse yes

uptimum123:


You think any reasonable Government will watch while the country is being put into anarchy

No. But why did they not deploy soldiers to Mushin and Orile where there was violence? Why was it lekki? Kindly answer sir...

Buhari has just finally succeeded in bringing Anarchy to the nation, a situation that would have been relieved with a 5-10 minutes national address, but decided to send in troops to kill peaceful protesters, Buhari's stubbornness will put us all in a mess.

ArcFresky:

You are dumb.

This is not a protest, this is a riot, it is because you are too uneducated, you cannot think.

Exactly.

Many illiterate people posing as educated on the streets.

TVC must be insured very well for twice the damages. The Lagos State government will still use public funds to rebuild and others will still give him more money...

Next phase is table negotiations. Violent protests will only claim more lives and properties of innocent people. The government people and political bigwigs won't lose a thing

So called peaceful protesters?

The blood on the Nigerian flag or the lives that were lost means nothing to you?

ivolt:

Stop lying.
The alleged dead people are all alive.

Ok sir. I'm sorry for lieing. Can you please tell me why there was need for soldiers to shoot live ammunition at peaceful protesters while hot spots in mushin and orile didn't require soldiers? Or I'm lieing on this one as well?

eagleonearth:
you are very wicked and heartless. If the whole Lagos burn down is it worth a soul that went down at Lekki last night?

You that is not heartless think the lost lives can be redeemed, avenged or reclaimed by losing more lives and properties. Why don't you guys try and use your heads? What Lagos or any part of the country needs right now is not further shedding of blood or destruction of properties. You can't quench violence with violence.
