Protesters keep It In Mind That You All Made Things Harder for The Rest Of Us in This Country Economy


Can We Move On From This? We Have Bigger Issues To Deal With.


CNN can Go To Syria And Look For Massacre There

You are just a fo0l.

How did the protesters make things difficult for anyone? Did they affect the price of rice or onions in the market? Did they help to devalue the Naira? Did they increase unemployment rate? Did they cause roads to be bad, hence leading to accidents? Did they cause an increase in banditry or kidnappings in the North? Are they the reason Northern farmers are scared to go to the farm? Are the reason why you don't have light at the moment? Did they cause an everlasting increase in traffic?

What did they do? Because they saved thousands of Nigerians from being harrased and extorted by policemen?

You are just a fo0l and your parents should be ashamed of birthing someone so useless.

why did the BBC reporter leave? they knew things would get bloody ugly ,and why was army denying presence and shooting? they are complicit to crimes perpetrated,so we all see the red prints of FG on the matter no investigation can exonerate the army, same way demonstrators unharmed were shot in other circumstances is what repeated here,this is a lawless bloody facist regime

Two dead bodies whose deaths are not gun related

You're delusional

The mental gymnastics you 30k boys are applying to this thing is quite amusing yet ineffective.

The army said they were not present that night but later came to recant the statement, saying they were there to feed the protesters with water, but later came out again to say they fired blanks.

The protesters on the other hand have maintained one stance since; the army came, shot at them, and took the corpses.

Unfortunately, they are the ones lying while the army that has given 4 different statements are the ones with the truth.

Your children and loved ones would end up like those at Lekki that night, since no gun was fired.

BBC were present at the venue and gave their report but anyone who watch the CNN report and still say there is no massacre at the lekki toll gate on that day is heartless.

It is a shame that we even have to rely on foreign journalists and TV stations to get a clearer view of what happened at the lekki toll gate.

These are the video report of both reputable international TV stations on the lekki shooting incident. The incident has generated quite a lot of controversies around the world. While the Nigerian Government has vehemently denied shooting at the lekki protesters. The Army on the other hand earlier denied going to lekki to shoot, but later admitted that it was at the lekki tool gate but didn't shoot live bullet. They also claimed they shot at the air not at protesters.
But the protesters are insisting that they were shot at and many were killed. The major protester at the ground DJ switch told CNN that the soldiers shot at them and killed lots of people.

Both CNN and BBC have given their own report on what happened at the lekki toll gate. While BBC reporter Damilola Banjo who was at the protest ground reported that the Army was shooting on air, but only saw one man grasping for air which she was not because of gun bullet, the CNN video said the Army actually shot at the protesters with live bullet. Though the CNN was not present at the protest ground.

So Nairalanders, watch the video report from both CNN and BBC. who is actually giving the real account of what happened at Lekki toll gate on the 20 of October 2020

BBC report

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlSRq_WAdlE

CNN report

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKhJcL2ttls

shiit

What are we debating exactly.

cnn gave a detailed scientific analysis of what happened with hard core evidence to follow.

All the footage must have gone through forensic analysis. interviews are there too including victims and survivors.

The BBC girl was just telling stories she cldnt even capture the actions.

If CNN can come out boldly with these much details after analysing evidence with various teams naija gvt should better pipe low cos it will only get messy from here.

from my knowledge of cnn they release information bit by bit .more will definitely come after correct analysis.

shit z gonner hit fan.

it has always been a matter of which foreign media will actually stand up and talk cos all the locos has been shutdown

If you know about guns you will understand that you can't fire blank bullet without shooting life bullets first and Army will always carry live ammunition incase situation change, Drill can change anytime

The BBC reporter seemed for refuge from NA where the compromise begin... Listen to her very well, she was not coherent in her speech... When they shot into the air why laid flat on the ground and crawled like lizard for safety. She got her reason for false report which is best known to her and NA.

BBC is evil . They always hide atrocities happening in Nigeria because British govt is stealing from Nigeria and Nigeria gov has bought over BBC. BBC is supporting fulani hegemony. They never report atrocities being committed fulani herdsmen.

If you listen to her very well she say at first they shot into the air and then she left. which means she did not stay there for long after the shooting and this is what I am trying to say when bullets are flying who will wait and see what is going on especially in the dark. By using the wait at first when the military arrive the shut-in today in this is actually that she did not see what actually happened or the full incident

Ok, let me help you. Always know that what you are watching "live" is not necessarily happening at that exact live instance.

The presidential broadcast has been watched live, but it was not necessarily recorded live.

If you actually look at the bullets showcased in this report, those are BLANKS! This actually confirms that the army fired blanks.

1st pic contains blank bullets

2nd pic contains those found at Lekki
Now compare the edges
Blank bullets have jagged top while life bullets have smooth top.

Moreover, that video from Youtube has been blocked for a season now

Dont believe Nigeria army.
They kill and carry corpse, they did it in oyigbo.

When Donald trump first won election some years ago, ipob members were jubilating from oyigbo to rumuola, during the procession, some hoodlooms started stealing money and phones, Nigeria army intercepted them in Rumuola near Bori camp ,killed some people and took there corpse, i saw one dead body they did not carry.

Nigeria army are fond of killing and taking the corpse.

Dont you ever believe Nigeria army, they are all liars.

The same CNN said the Army left the scene after a while. So what now happened to the injured, or those that died after the army left? What happened to the phones of the people present at the scene to capture the pictures/videos of these dead and injured?

When the army carted away the bodies of the dead, did they also clean off the blood on the ground? Did they also take away the critically injured?
How come there are no videos of the army picking dead bodies from the floor, is it that all the phones at the scene stopped working at this critical moment?

Lol see stupid questions...

Did u watch live videos of Dj switch at all?

So even if u claim no one died, the people with gunshot wounds that we saw had no blood ? Now why is there blood stains not on the floor?

Same reason we can’t see the blood stains is same reasons u can’t see blood stains from people who died ... abi u wan claim say no one was wounded again? Smh

That the army left after a while was when exactly? CNN said police came after army had left ... did they state how long the army was there ?

Bow let me educate u since you are so lazy to watch the videos that came out the following day... from those videos, we saw people later running away from where they initially sat and were treating the wounded... so ure asking how the army carried the dead bodies? They did after they successfully chased everyone far away...

Lastly, did you know there’s another pic leak of army moving dead bodies out of a their facility to a morgue ?

You don’t know I guess... what exactly do you know

Well, after both videos, I feel both have their report based on the availability of evidence present. That the BBC reporter said no one died at the lekki toll gate contradicts CNN report. But remember the BBC reporter said she was there for a little above 20mins. While CNN report said the Army shot for hours.

Now, the question is; if 'the Army shot for hours' directly at the protesters according to CNN's report, how come only 'at least one died and several were injured?'

Don't you think if the Army shot directly at the protesters for hours the whole area would have been littered with dead bodies?

Just an honest question
