Obviously dollars because of the rate of inflation in Nigeria and likelihood of depreciation in naira value..
So what exactly are you selling? Out with it!

ultimatex:
I have a question for you.
You are to only pick one.

If you are given $10,000 or NGN 7,000,000 to be fixed with no interest for a duration of 3 years. This means you cannot access any of the funds till October 01, 2023. Which would you pick?

You too bro!

chloedogie:
This thread is for 2020 election updates and i needed to just say some things before we start dropping real-time updates. If that is your conclusion sir, then so be it and you are 100% right. Is that all? Have a great day man.

The fact that the kidnappers couldn't hold their victim elsewhere but in Nigeria speaks volumes bro..

Jones4190:
the kidnapped didn't take place in nigeria,get the fact before posting

Your research favours one candidate.. and it's your right to have a bias of course.. but make it plain..

chloedogie:
That is your submission sir. Truth is I just opened a thread and wrote some things I was able to dig up from my little research. If I am wrong kindly correct me. We are here on this platform to share correct and true information.

Your write up clearly shows a bias in favour of one candidate..

chloedogie:
I will be updating everyone live as the election goes on. It is a major battle between President Trump and former vice president Joe Biden....

1. As we speak, more than 94millon early votes has been cast by Americans. This is over 68% of total votes cast in the 2016 general elections. History will be made today..

2. Also with rumours of a possible post election riots break out, the White House has been fenced to protect the heavily guarded abode of the president from possible unforeseen attacks.

3. So many business owners and stores were seen fortifying their stores from possible post elections looting and riots attacks on their stocks. This is really looking like a danger looming and everyone is taking precautions

4. Part of the tension in the USA now is that even if former vice president Joe Biden wins and is declared the winner of the election, there are chances of President Trump challenging that in court and mind you, a larger number of the supreme court judges tilts towards president Trump's side. This is one of the reasons why the democrats are looking at flipping the Senate during this election by having more senators than republicans thereby deciding the fate of democracy in both legislative houses. With Nancy Pelosi a Democrat as the speaker, a win for the Democrats in the Senate will be the end of any post election surprises from president Trump should Biden win.

The fact that you don't feel scammed because you were ingeniously deceived doesn't mean you weren't

Anyway, it's your money..if you are not complaining, neither am I...

illicit:
it's not like that....


I don't need to lie to anyone about it.


But I am on crowd1 and I don't regret it.


I don't feel scammed.

This is not news worthy

this is not a matter for jokes please.. be guided accordingly.

you have a deep perspective on the issue. I never saw it from that angle

GamalNasser:
Well Trump's always knows what he is doing ...she just needs to assure the White house that she would protect American interest over Chinese interest ...Trump doesn't want anither chinese puppet like the man in WHO

it's not enough. the Air Force should compensate the victims for the brutality meted out to them by its personnel who were posted to the streets by the Air Force.. Vicarious Liability

They always use maximum deadly force when faced with even the slightest threat to their lives.. that's how they were trained to react. The police in US should consider changing their policy to commensurate and reasonable use of force.. however the problem with that is that when you are in harm's way it's quite difficult to begin to analyse which level of force to use as any delay to quickly act could prove costly and deadly to the detriment of the police personnel

The army seems to be desperate to repair the harm done to it by sanwoolu's statement that soldiers carried out the toll gate killings..
It's quite possible that Sanwoolu invited the military's operation MESA to assist in enforcing the curfew as they were already a part of the state's security architecture..
However from all available evidence (it is alleged that the soldiers came from their Victoria Island formation) it appears that it wasn't MESA that carried out the shooting so we can't put the blame on Sanwoolu just yet. Let's hear the response of Sanwoolu to the army's statement and we expect the army to tell us exactly how Sanwoolu invited them, through which channel, were their soldiers at the toll gate (yes of course) and from which unit or formation were they mobilized?

Sweetaura:
Yes you were invited to maintain law and order, but were you told to shoot. Nonsense.

Lekki Massacre: Forensic Analysis Shows Videos Were Genuine

Forensic analysis of videos showing the killing of protesters at the Lekki toll-gate area by soldiers on Tuesday has shown them to be authentic, in spite of the Nigerian Army’s classification of the reports as fake and the Defence Headquarters’ claim that the videos were doctored.

In a report published by the Digital Forensic Research (DRF) Lab on Thursday, it noted that open-source evidence contradicted these denials.

“Several videos corroborate the location and presence of Nigerian soldiers at the Lekki Toll Plaza, a major toll highway toll concession in the south of Lagos,” said Jean Le Roux, the lab’s Research Associate for Southern Africa.

“Video footage posted on Twitter place Nigerian soldiers at the plaza, where they are seen approaching peaceful demonstrators and opening fire. Subsequent footage shows injured civilians being carried away from the same location.”

Using four videos, the DFRLab geolocated the shooting at the toll-gate “despite denials by the Nigerian military”.

“A different video shows what appears to be soldiers of the Nigerian army approaching protesters where they were stationed behind plastic barriers. Soldiers approached the group and opened fire. No warning is heard in the video. Muzzle flashes indicate that several of the shots seen and heard here were fired into the air,” it stated.

It confirmed using features close to the toll-gate and across the channel that the video was taken “looking into a northern direction on the eastern part of the toll gate, suggesting that protesters were approached from both the east and west by law enforcement, as suggested by some witnesses”.

“Video footage also identified injured protestors at the same scene. The author of a video uploaded to Twitter on October 20 shows injured and bloodied protestors with the author claiming they were shot by soldiers. As the video pans, a parking garage to the south of the toll gate can be seen,” DFRLab continued.

“Another video taken in front of the toll gate showed several injured protestors being carried off in the presence of camouflaged soldiers, presumably the same soldiers seen in the second video above. At least two protestors are carried away, while a third is seen on the ground during the video.”

Geolocation of the last video placed soldiers at the southern section of the toll-gate’s eastern part.

“Despite denials by the Nigerian Army, open-source evidence links the presence of Nigerian soldiers at the Lekki Toll Gate at the same time as the first reports of shooting came in,” the organisation emphasised.

“Video footage also showed Lekki Toll Gate protestors, who had been peaceful in the preceding 11 days, bloodied and injured in the presence of these soldiers.”

According to Amnesty International, an on-the-ground investigation revealed that at least 10 people were killed when armed officials of the Nigerian Army opened fire on the protesters.

“These shootings clearly amount to extrajudicial executions. There must be an immediate investigation and suspected perpetrators must be held accountable through fair trials. Authorities must ensure access to justice and effective remedies for the victims and their families,” it said.

where is nscdc I mean civil defence. they are armed so they should join the police and army to contain the hoodlums..
I also think the navy and air Force should also join. ditto for customs.. they all bear arms.. the police and army are overstretched..
the government should give these other military and para military organisations, clear rules of engagement that will ensure that only the hoodlums are confronted without abusing the rights of law abiding citizens..
this country is in dire straits

only length

stanliwise:
I am also beginning to suspect thugs and maybe opposing political parties are hijacking this situation. People of the vicinity shouldn’t fall into the trap of civil wars, instead they should find those responsible for the attack and deal with them. Our government has failed us but we can’t fail ourselves. We can let anti people and Babarian’s overtake our homes and streets. If hoodlums wants to help out let them attack the government properties and assets

Just Imagine the most insane and crackhead speech the president made. Having almost no depth nor breadth.

this is meant to be an intelligent discussion so quit insulting people and address facts.
1. there was a massacre..
2. the state governor denied that he gave the order for the shooting and said it was "beyond his control". the question is "under whose control was it?"
3. contrary to claims by people, the governor has said that the CCTV was NOT removed and there is a video footage of the massacre..
4. the identities of the killer soldiers will be revealed.
5. the army needs to explain who authorised the use of live ammunition against unarmed civilians.
6. anyone with evidence of the governor's knowledge of the plan to shoot the peaceful protesters should please make same available
7. the company that owns the bill board said they shut it down in line with the curfew order which was publicly announced and of course the possibility of damage during the tense period of the likely stand off.. note that another company altogether is responsible for power supply, not them so they were not responsible for the power outage. if however you have information regarding the culpability of the bill board company, please share as all reliable information is needed to get to the bottom of this matter.
8. The CCTV footage will reveal the soldiers that massacred the protesters and also their military formation.
9. revealing their identities will help out pressure (including international pressure) on military authorities to provide an explanation and reveal who authorised the massacre. the CCTV footage is the key to solving this case.

Betty101:
The bill board was switched in line with the curfew declared that day . Now make we ask our people if this same bill board was switched of during the covid-19 lockdown. I remember that my cousin who is a Doctor always passes through that same Lekki at night.He said the bill board is ever lit up.There was never a time it went off .
How convenient for them to just switch of the bill board only hours that same day after the curfew the curfew was declared ? Who is fooling who ? They think we are brainless set of human beings.

I don’t know what is wrong with our leaders and their stupid paid agent .Especially the slow pokes on Nairaland.

the CCTV security cameras were not removed. that is what this topic says.. it was another equipment that was removed (I think it's called scanner cameras). the governor himself said it.. please read the story.. we should get valuable information regarding the identities of the killer soldiers once the video evidence is examined which the governor says would be done

Amhappy:
So his own is bill board not camera. But someone uninstalled a camera. Lights shut off, bill boards taken off. Lets tell ourselves the truth, how many electronic bill boards were switch off in Lagos that night or was the curfew just at Lekki? How many cameras where uninstalled around Lagos on 20-10-20? What happened in Lekki was no coincidence, it was premeditated bro. If we could agree on that fact then we should all speak up. We are not interested in the government going back and forth but let the truth be told and the right thing done. If the people who did this are allowed to go free due to action or inaction of anyone, then be rest assured that you are I are not safe either.

reconsider the practicability of your suggestion in view of the prevailing insecurity in the states she has to pass through to get to abuja..

tammie24:
Sorry

But she can go by road too

Airports are closed

you are wrong. check his statement again. seyi tinubu said his company only owns the electronic bill board at the toll gate which his company switched off in line with the curfew order. he did not say he is the contractor of the toll gate itself. he in fact said he has nothing to do with the CCTV camera and electric power supply to the toll gate.
if however you have any other source of information I am unaware of, kindly share

Amhappy:
Even Seyi Tinubu the contractor said cameras were removed in line with the curfew order. Lets wait for the next lie

why does his shirt bear what seems to be the rank of a colonel? is it an indirect message of readiness for war?

the lekki protest was none of those things... it was not in any way an attempt to overthrow the government and the protesters were not even armed.. it was a peaceful protest

Kingdemu:
It is now very clear that the 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

don't worry. he sure will.. not only that.. I assure you.. there will be sanctions..

PresidentAtiku:
Oga Trump say something

So you are justifying the use of live ammunition against unarmed protesters
What happened to tear gas? Water hose, even rubber bullets?
Why call in the army instead of regular anti riot police?
The demonstrators are youths and govt should've expected them to act like youths and be stubborn..
Nothing can justify the use of live ammunition..

DECENCY3:
In this life, discretion is require when taking a course of action:

Know when to strike

Know when to stop and retreat

Know when to re-enforce

Know when to withdraw and drop the plough.

You can't disobey the govt without repercussions, else the govt will be seen as weak which will lead to a state of anarchy.

The rot in the system didn't accumulate in a week or 2, it's a gradual process. The youths have expressed their anger why not withdraw and allow the govt take decisions.

and we all know how volatile mushin can be with all those akala boys..

Incognito403:
Order must be restored. Innocent citizens must be protected

The government declared curfew but you still went on to defy.

he can't even type correct English..
full of grammatical blunders..

blocking roads has always been wrong..
no where in the civilised world is this done..
people simply carry out their protests while leaving those not interested to carry on with their lives..
it's your right to demonstrate and the right of others not to..
no one should impose his will on others..
that's democracy...

p.s. I support the protests by the way.. but it must never lead to breakdown of law and order

ILoveDemMANNA:
This is just Too bad.

Naija youths......
WHAT TO DO FOR NOW?
I suggest that YOU back out of the protest for now.
The Nigerian youths have made their presence felt and their voices heard.
A wise performer leaves the stage when the ovation is high.
Let's not allow bad eggs to spoil our achievements so that we can successfully build on this in subsequent months and years


Whoever they are, they are even doing more than blocking roads now, they are now burning down police stations.
This is a no no for me.

Peaceful protest is the way to go.
#IStandWithAPeacefulProtest

I don't know who released the detainees but judging from the video evidence that was posted here, it seems miscreants set the police station ablaze judging from the way they were rejoicing and celebrating the fire..

yazga:
I work at Orile nt far frm this where incident occurred & truth is Thugs or hoodlums had nothing to do wit this fire. The police officers let the prisoners go and set the place on fire by themselves. No officer was inside. They restricted people from putting it off



How does the curfew in Lagos start at 4pm today? How will people get home? A 24 hour indefinite curfew is oppressive and will only give room/excuses for people to be further brutalized by the police.








The thugs didn't break into the prison. The prisoners were released illegally by authorities to pin it on the protesters.

Don't mistake it for the other
I worked in two prisons including the 2nd biggest one in the South East as a 'Prison Doctor' for one year & I can bet my life that no jailbreak can be successful without the help of Prison Staff.

A Nigerian prison was overran and not a single gunshot was fired.

These people must take their citizens for fools.
Script well played .. Yesterday during the violence,the government kept quiet why ? Now they release the prisoners so it looked like the protesters did it even when the gates were still locked .. Security breach was internal but on whose orders.. Surely,the government.
A prisoner escaped in Benin today and said he’s been in prison since 2014 but he’s wearing this seasons Arsenal jersey
Weyrey should stop disguising.
The blood of the dead is crying,



Detained in Kirikiri as an activist fighting military dictatorship, I've a fair knowledge of the inside. When there is an unrest outside, the Chief Warder orders lockdown- every prisoner to his cell. How did those prisoners climb up the wall from the inside of Benin Prison?
Two possibilities:
1) The Chief Warder didn't order lockdown and warders were overpowered by the prisoners, inside, or;
2) The prison authority helped prisoners with ladders and climbing sheets, likely blankets
Knowing Benin has a history of jailbreaks- it happened in May 1989 during the anti-SAP protests. That time, the protesters freed the prisoners- the prison authority ought to have ordered a lockdown.
Either way the jailbreak has nothing to do with #EndSars

On this issue you have displayed more knowledge, even than some people who profess Christianity..

Not true. Few bad eggs should not be used to judge all.


Well, I am a Msulim, so what do I even know?

Thank God they are all adults and can face the full wrath of the law..
