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.

[/s]These people you are defending with your whole built their houses at age 27. Got married at 22. Became managers in big corporations at 30. Some of them became president and head of state at 27. They traveled for Christmas break in UK at 28.

Question. You that is reading this. That is condemning the protest and was giving 30k to write counter post, how old are you now?

You that got 500 Naira to attack protesters how old are you now? Is your future not bleak? You that carry useless Buhari and other politicians for head like your life depends on it, what can you say about your own life. Can you afford a vacation to ordinary Cote D'ivoire?

Two deaths! But why did they call it Massacre?

blackmantis:


Who said nobody died?

We saw people taken to the hospital. The Governor visited the injured and admitted that two people lost their lives.....and these MUST get justice.

Have y'all forgotten this same governor earlier said that no one died. I don't know what happened that night but I know never to believe the words of a politician.

The governor initially said no one died, then he said 1 now 2.
More than 10 people died and it was watched by thousands of People.

9jatriot:
That has always been his position. He has consistently maintained that one of them died as a result of blunt force to the head. So far no proof of massacre

[/s] Shooting or massacre, which one do you wish for you and your family so that we can pray it for you. Life is no longer precious to you people. Shameless beings.

How many HUMAN BEINGS have to die before it is called massacre?

I thought some people said "there was shotting"....that all were Photoshop

Biodun556:

Let's ask the families of the deceased shall we?

I pity Nigerian youths.

How easy it is for us to lose focus.

A protest calling for an end to police brutality and all glaring aspects of bad governance put forward at least five agenda for the government to immediately resolve.

A speech from the president didn't address any of those demands directly, and so far, the government are not saying enough of it.

Instead, we are focused on the controversial issues arising from the physical protest itself all through the period, while the purpose wastes away.

#EndBadGovernance #EndPoliceBrutality.

Zetty177x:


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

Rain fell on that day.
I can recall that I was just coming returning from ife, Osun State. When I entered my house around 10:30, I wasn't long before the rain started.

And again, people are to have empathy. Most times I used to think that; what if the victim was me. What if it's one of my family members.

Nonetheless, it won't deter us to fighting this to the end. We are taking over by 2020. I'm running my own physical sensitisation.

Bros Youths who died at that place are more than three, they successful made people see what they want them to see because of not , why did they put off the light ,why did they remove the cameras? If Nigerians wise up this is the time to show all this people come 2023 that they are nothing without us

sexybash:
we still maintain our position
(1) there was shooting at the scene most likely in the air, which will still be categorized as at the protesters confirmed by forensics
(2) DJ swicth lied to Manipulate the public
(3) No Massacre or Genocide as carried out by 99.9% Media outlet
(4) Sawolu has always maintained this positon from day one but Nigerians dont want to listen because they want the story to be true so bad

Nairaland posted sensational journalism in the first post thereby raising the hope of IPOBIANS

A massacre is a killing, typically of MULTIPLE victims, considered morally unacceptable... Wikipedia.

You're just asking for curses with your ignorant comment. If you were not a paid commenter, you wouldn't dare type this nonsense. You expect your government to say the truth about the deaths even when soldiers and DSS went to raid hospitals for bodies of Lekki victims?

Well, continue defending evil, I pray it doesn't come to you.

Ihatemumu:


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

You hate mumu as if you're perfect yourself

Have y'all forgotten this same governor earlier said that no one died. I don't know what happened that night but I know never to believe the words of a politician.

I don't know what happened but I know that some people who were falsely tagged as DEAD online came out to strongly reject it.

I hope and pray for the families who lost loved ones.... Even one life lost is too much.

Before there was no shooting, now there was shooting but no blood stain at the site, so those who he went to visit in hospitals, it was water that gushed out of their bodies.

ONLY?

Bondinus:
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

@ emboldened Tinubu never said it was Fake news

Please lie with dignity.

ATEAMS:
Don’t explain. People only hear what they want to hear.

And believe what they want to believe. People have stop using their senses in this part of the world.

This lying governor will soon be disgraced

Mark this date

Live is a fragile state

So a person cannot die of gunshot wound since Tuesday?

You mean because no one has died as at Tuesday morning, they won't have died by now?

How many is MULTIPLE victims? , is 2 human beings not many

If 2 of your children die is it childs play?

haiti007:
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?

Very sad!

The country is messed up and seems irredeemable.

We don taya!

Why did the army lie then if it was not a massacre?

barragan:

Yes, he said there was no casualties, no death before on LIVE TV

barragan:


Has he said anything he hasn't said before?

Where have you been

The bastard said on LIVE TV that there was no death

There were deaths?
At the Toll Gate?
Death of peaceful protesters?
So who killed the 'two'?
Who ordered the 'killers'?
Where did they come from?

Where and what are government's responsibilities in all these?

amaridigital:


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.

If you want to talk to about other people killed last week nobody is stopping you. When there is a blatant disregard for human life in using soldiers to kill civilians during peaceful protest while trying to cover it up we must talk about it.
