Burna Boy: I Am Traumatised Over Lekki Toll Gate Shooting by Abdulazeez99: 11:03am On Oct 23, 2020
Afro-fusion singer Burna Boy on Friday said he had been traumatised since the October 20 shooting of #EndSARS protesters by men in military uniform at Lekki toll gate, Lagos, Igbere TV reports.

In a tweet, he wrote: “I HAVE NOT SLEPT since 20/10/2020. I close my eyes and all I see is Lekki toll gate.

“I’ve seen a lot of Violence and death in my Life but this is the one that has traumatized me.”

Burna Boy’s statement followed a broadcast by President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday which failed to address worries about the shooting.

The singer had opened a funding platform for supporting victims of police brutality.

It breaks my heart that some useless folks on this forum are trying very hard to disregard the fact that soldiers actually killed people at the Lekki protest.
To all the dumb Buharists on this forum, please go through this link, watch the videos and look at the photos and tell me if soldiers didn't shoot at peaceful protesters at Lekki toll gate.

The main issue with the EndSARS protest, was that the protesters had no leader who would tell them when to suspend the protest and give the government the chance to act, after all police brutality cannot end overnight by the orders of Buhari.

After getting positive response from the government to not only end SARS unit, but to also implement their 5 point demand to reform the police, the EndSARS protesters choose to continue their protest instead of suspending it. And this gave hoodlums the chance to hijack the protest.

I hope this whole episode of EndSARS protest doesn't cause the Nigerian youth to give up on protest. As protest is the only way we can get the government to listen to us.

But we must make sure to never unreasonable demands via protest like resignation of an African leader, as that will never happen, you are only asking for chaos and hoodlums will be happy to help you create it. Nor should we make vague demands like End bad governance or End corruption.

We must ensure the demands we make via protest are reasonable and precise like Restructure Nigeria, End ASUU strike, etc.

Lol... So says Burna boy...


Every person protesting from overseas are all hypocrites


You all saw Nigeria crumbling yet you ran away from it.

If you want to fight for Nigeria come to Nigeria


Only Aisha proved patriotic by coming down here...


Nigga please move... You stayed in London and motivated the youths to a protest that has cost them their lives and at the end there is very little achieved...


The same president has taken control back from Nigerians


As for the Lekki toll gate protest


You guys could not sacrifice a little by leaving fun out of it...

You turned your protest in a party, at night it was a music and club concert... That is a sign of unseriousness.


You blocked other Nigerians from going to get their daily bread while you sat there, blocked the road eating chicken. Life doesn't work that way..


Lekki protesters lost focus

Why do you think they attacked lekki protest first after the curfew was placed instead of other protest ground?


Because to them you were not protesting.



Listen to this audio please and let's work with the solution given

It's over Burna, the Government has used our weakest point against us again and it's working.

Something we kept aside weeks ago, and were fighting for a better Nigeria. Now SW see it that SE & SS are just destroying their land.

Unity is the only way we face this government and make them pay. I wish we know how happy they are when they see the youths divided.

NB: Am strongly against the destruction march going on lately in Nigeria, in the guise of protest.

In all his shocks, Buhari was never shocked by Lekki shootout. For the first time ever, Buhari lost his ability to be shocked. He cannot shock again

Dose of you insulting and putting blame on celebrities who championed the EndSars protest are just dumb and your continuous attacks further reaffirm your ignorance of global proceedings and trends.

In any sane society celebrities use their platforms to promote and advance different agendas either to promote their selfish interests or the collective yearnings of the citizens.

Those of you attacking celebrities are doing so either because you have not suffered from police brutality or you are contented with the affairs of this government which is totally nonsense.

The looting of palliatives that was meant for ease the sufferings of Nigerians is still starched in different locations what for is that sanity?

I was waiting to hear that some ministers or government has resigned but No! Our dead president could not even capture that in his speech is it that his handlers did not show him the videos because he uses 3310 and cannot operate an Android phone?

This country needs resurrection and move on from aged political actors who are not confirmed to new conventional and innovative ways of doing things.

Ok
I wish Seun will start placing a ban on tribal comments. I noticed in some threads that some people have started talking some tribal trash.

Some wicked elements have planted seeds of discord in the southern part of the country and we comfortably played into their hands. Only to turn around and blame ourselves.

It's the same thugs that are used to disrupt elections that are used now to discredit a peaceful protest. No sane person destroys properties or kill a fellow human unjustly.

Make we use our heads people, the aftermath go bad o.

Story...u guys started the riots and when it got out of control ,u all ran away ,where is sowore and his likes that was orchestrating revolution,and was busy chest beating ,now that hardened criminals had joined the protest ,they have all ran away,and this particular one ran to London to continue to protest...i knew this present protest will aid criminal Elements amongst us to express themselves.I thought of how USA citizens though the first world country was looting and destroying shops,businesses and burning some police stations in the name of black lives matter ,I knew our own protest will be worse.. this is why we shouldn't give attention to the enemies of our nation who disguise as social activists..but I blame the government for not acting fast to prevent this chaos we are witnessing today...today I suppose to be in my work place but I can't due to this needles tensions... our children are at home and our youths are destroying our infrastructures and police formations..if u hate this country or too lazy to work hard to fulfill your destiny ,please vacate this country,u don't need visa to travel to Ghana,Gambia and other west African countries..go over there and pluck money from the trees...I see that most people in this forum are below thirty five years and so somehow doesn't appreciate the enormity of having a failed state...by their post here ,we can see them but the truth is that few of our political class will suffer ..but majority of our common citizens Will suffer it more...today in Enugu I saw a woman seating in front of three baskets of rotten tomatoes,I saw the pain in her eyes,she could not sell her wares cos of the curfew in the state..I knew there are a lot more like her who will not be able to make a dime today nor fed well today,being a youth is not a call to be foolish and inconsiderate...
