How is death of two people a massacre?

May God be with the families of the departed souls. It is painful but we need not blow it out of proportion to the extent that it cost more lives and damages.

Sanwo made his choice ages ago..

He decided to roll with Buhari and Tinubu. No one forced him..

Is this another story?

Has anyone ever explore the theory that those vehicles carrying the soldier that were shooting in the video might be OP MESA and if they are then the governor certainly gave the order to shoot and the military may be right in denying that they never gave the order to fire at protesters.

It will surely be called massacre when it happens to family member, then you will find your dictionary for a bigger word than massacre

Some rumour mongers will soon be here to talk about cover up even though Sanwo Olu already talked about 2 deaths several days ago. Neither of the 2 died from gunshots and have not been confirmed to be definitely related to the shooting.

Anyone who is still confused about Sanwo Olu's position should reread this part:

What has happened is that there have been so many footages that people have shown but we have not seen dead bodies, we have not seen relatives, we have not seen anybody coming up to say indeed I am a father or mother to someone and I cannot find the person. Nobody has come .

I have been round and there is no splash of blood anywhere there
This is the same argument sane people have been making since. A massacre must involve several dead bodies and also gory scene. If there is none, there is no massacre.

So if there was no shooting since some idiots, including tinubu said it was fake news or photoshopped.
Riddle me this, how the heck did two people die?
Shey na stampede??

If there is shooting now, how is it possible that it's only two people that died.

Las las, this governor na mumu

Now with all the evidences so far, there was shooting at Lekki. Two persons died and that was unfortunate. Somebody must be held responsible for the loss. Why is the opposition blowing this out of proportion to burn Lagos? Lives were lost in Ibadan including police officers. Lives were lost in other places. Why are we not talking about those? Are those people not Nigerians?
We all want justice for Lekki victims but no one is talking about justice for other people killed by thugs or police officers across Nigeria. Is that justice? Some people are playing prank with people's intelligence here.

Paid loyalist will come and say that it is two people that the governor mentioned how is it a massacre?

Dear sane nairalanders, you don't need to argue with anybody to prove a point.

Human being life is precious to me, even if it's just a person that was killed, it's still precious to me. It can be anybody. It can be one's family.

Modified
A soldier will go to the war front, lay down his life, the govt will deny his death and someone will sit in his office and use a pen to cancel him out of existence. Just like that.

And we say we are a country demanding patriotism from its citizens?

If they call two only,then they are not sensible. I know many people who have just a child.

Then let's think of this. ...boko haram have killed many army personnel and I have seen viral pictures of the dead bodies loaded in open trucks/ vans...their corpses in trucks !! !! Very shocking. They are loaded and probably thrown away.

As far as I was concerned,there was a massacre. The army left with bodies. Many people dont live with their parents. Some of the protesters are from mushin, ajegunle, isolo etc,.who probably are area boys who have lost touch with families. Many of such people are lagos.some from other states. Who didn't make it in Lagos and are ashamed to go back to their respective states.

Imagine sanwu olu talking about no blood stains. U think the military can't wash d blood..u think they cant bring their water tanks?rain too Besides, it's not all gun shot that will result in the victim losing blood..these guys should think of a better excuse. I saw what DJ Switch live streamed. That was a mayhem. I don't pray to be caught up in that kind of scenario

This is unusual and a loud indictment on the President.

Surely there are behind the scenes disagreements going on. Surely the federal govt is not on the same wavelength as the Lagos govt. I applaud sanwo for making attempt to be transparent.

Lagos needs stability at this point.

It is appalling to see how politics has turned the minds and conscience of many Nigerians.

The Lekki shooting with real victims has turned out to be propaganda tool.

I can't support the soldiers in their actions but worst is calling what happened a massacre without such things that defines it.

The person who started this propaganda that led to loss of lives, properties, livelihood and even government properties all over the country has done worst than the person who ordered the shooting in the first place.

Its more like the kettle calling the pot black.

May God have pity on Nigerians since the country Nigeria is not the problem, we are.

I still do not understand why we are making attempts to explain if what happened at lekki was a massacre or not and no one is asking the most pertinent questions of who sent soldiers to the spot at that odd hour. Why was the lights also put off. Don't let us forget that if soldiers were not there and if lights were not put off in the first place, we wouldn't have been where we are now.

Politicians are evil, period!!!

You’re are right about the value and sacredness of human life, no doubt about that.

But in your inner conscience do you think it is right to falsify the number of deaths and claim massacre for clandestine reasons?

The mayhem and destruction resulting from these lies did claim more lives and caused unbelievable size of destruction, and you think that is right?

Someone said Blank bullets were used.
Which seems logical because a single live Ak-47 round fired into a crowd at such close range would fatally take down not less than 5 people and injure many more. And destroy the surrounding infrastructure.


The aim must have been just to scare away the protesters but in my opinion it was reckless.
