then are u justifying the action of the military? Mr. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying the president should not take responsibility on situations, but when some people have failed to discipline themselves on situations which they can, how come u accuse someone else? The military might have broken the law by riding on the BRT lane so he was knocked down, he has failed first and the issue of ur cause and effect comes in. The BRT driver who failed to control his speed and failed to understand that though the military defaulted, he should have applied caution also failed and resulted to the punishment of other ppl, destruction of properties etc you expect the president to call and say what u are about doing is not good? If that is the case, animals are better that such set of individuals. Are we animals that have failed to understand that jungle justice is foolishness? Have we failed to understand that those lives been killed are people like us and not animals? In a land of underdevelopment, how can we be destroying the little we have yet complain of poverty and underdevelopment? Two wrongs don't make a right. My people say they don't tell an elderly to leave the sun. Just like the north that is been destroyed and some northerners are busy accusing the president to leave office rather than come together and proffer a lasting solution while continuing in thier power struggle are busy folding thier hands waiting till thier sits on that throne. Ppl like Buhari and some northern state governors who would have suggested a lasting solution to the crisis are busy avoiding the State meeting. Its simply foolishness, wickedness and a show of animalistic behavior. So If some ppl believe the system have failed, then for such reason fail to do the right thing, then who should you blame? C'mon ppl should be constructive.

If you get slapped you are safe but if she tells you to walk away there are two things involved


Either the lower ranking officers accost you and order you to frog jump all the way to bariga. Or they flog you 25 lashes of koboko!

dridowu:
hmmmmmmmm, if i guess right, the army attacking innocent citizens is of less concerned to you, your paramount concern is how to destroy Tinubu and APC. I want you to remember that those innocent victim being attack by Police, Army e.t.c are citizen like you and i, they did not foresee it, it is their turn today, it may be your own turn tomorrow. So keep on hating on Tinubu/APC while Nigeria security unit are committing evil attrocities.

the your i-witness na satellite?
it looks like he has been stalking the Nigerian army all over.
From Bama, Borno to Ikorodu rd lagos and then to Palmgrove.
He does not seem to be an impartial witness to the truth.
He just seems so jaundiced and full of biased opinions.

And maybe, he seems to have to have something against female soldiers.
Is he afraid of the men?
Why is he trying to pin everything on an unknown female soldier?
He does not come across as an unbiased, credible, truthful witness.
he seems to have made up more than half the story.

Billyonaire:
OP, Is the life of the dead soldier precious to you ? Material destruction by angry soldiers cant be compared to the loss. You are one-sided in your reporting. We must blame the bus drivers for being reckless just as we blame the soldiers for behaving reckless.

Mosespaul:
Rubbish! But non of u commented on the soldier that was killed by BRT but jus talking about destruction and havoc the soldiers caused, remember that soldier has love ones jus like everyone of u then u should also ask urself '' what if am the one (slain soldier)?

DaBullIT:



I hear you and I understand your point but I doubt that you understood mine

Non lagosians know that BRT lane is reserved .

The use of camo and military authority is probably ehy this incident occoured .

Use of Vecto power/ military authority. If it was a civilian I heard they get chased by lastma taken to a psychiatric hospital then fined .


If the executive office had made it clear that no one is above the law by ensuring all offenders are prosecuted there would be less abuse of power.

But when you start saying stealing public funds is stealing its not corruption or you say being a president gives you the right to pardon known corrupt officials . Its cause and effect and the ripple effects spread outwards


Jungle justice is never right . if people have been arrested and prosecuted for aluu4 , or previous popular cases you would see less crimes like that being concluded


Change starts from us. But we are just the mases if the oga at the top can enforce law / rule of law. Nigeria will be a better place

While the life of the dead soldier, any humanbeing for that matter, is regrettable and very precious, HOW DOES FLAGRANT VANDALISM LIKE AN AREA BOY, FROM ONE OF THOSE ENTITIES WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AN EMBODIMENT OF DISCIPLINE, DECORUM AND PROFESSIONALISM, RESUSCITATE OR EVEN COMPENSATE FOR THE DEATH OF SUCH SOLDIER?

If Touts, Thugs and Criminals get offended and start looting and burning, we can understand but when the Nigerian Army starts doing the same thing, not once but becoming a sort of "standard procedure", then something is very very wrong with the Nigerian Military!

No wonder "Sheep-Cow" was making fun of them and their Commander-in-Chief!

Just imagine, slapping civilians for using their phone to film a public disorder?
Imagine burning buses near a fuel station located near residential houses!

Agreed that these BRT drivers are just "Touts in drivers uniform" with the backing of the Lagos state government but then...
Whats wrong with "arresting and prosecuting" the offending driver, in a LAW COURT?

Have you ever seen the British or American Army/Marines vandalizing public property within their own country?

Is that how you show prowess ....... or by finishing-off Shekau that is mocking you (Army) day and night?
How come the only thing that the Nigerian Army flexes muscle over is brutalizing UNARMED civilians?
How come they have not shown the same zeal and prowess in fighting Boko Haram?

We need to tell the Chief of Army Staff the TRUTH about his organization: BUNCH OF COWARDS!
I believe its a sign of cowardice, to carry a gun and fight someone unarmed!!

No wonder they want to execute their own "rank and file" men that stood up to them.

SHAME ON THE NIG. ARMY FOR THIS BARBARIC BEHAVIOUR!

Unless everyone involved in this thuggery is brought to book.... but l dont expect that to happen in a life time.

Listen to yourself. Are 4 buses equal to the life of a veteran soldier ?

lastpage:


Okay tell us: How many Buses needs to be burnt to be 'equal to the life' of the dead soldier?

5,000 Buses? One Million Buses?

Evenkilling the driver in reprisal will not bring the soldier back to life!

Can you see the "folly' of such action now?

Burning ten million buses will not bring that soldier back to life, it will only increase the "loss" suffered by the Nigerian state and it's people!

You dont cut off your nose, just to spite your face!

I dont want to appear to be stoking this matter (it is painful enough to loose a life) otherwise one would have started asking certain questions as to the "sensibility or otherwise" of riding in a BRT lane just because you are wearing uniform!

At times, when "rules' are made, obeying them may be for our own good!
When soldiers are told not to drive against traffic or wantonly disobey the use of the road, they think they are above such laws!
See the result now!

Lesson: This Soldier would have been alive today, if he had obeyed SIMPLE INSTRUCTION!
I hope others like him learn from these, as regrettable as the incident is.

R.I.P Soldier.

I didnt have to read all, to understand that you are writing with emotion instead of native intelligence. If you see the body of your colleague, lying dead, and see the car used in killing him by mistake, and the driver has ran off. Prove to me that you will not break the windscreen.

I totally understand the action of the military, this is not the first time one of our veterans has been killed by LASTMA bus; The soldiers didnt over-react on the first manslaughter, this is the second. Now may be, this is the signal for LASTMA officials to get the message.

Lastly, I want to re-emphasize that LASTMA drivers should be retrained. We will not tolerate accidental manslaughter of any soldier not even of a civilian, again.

Billyonaire:
My brother, you need to change your loyalty. APC hates Nigerian Army, they blame the soldiers who toil night and day in the forest. Now you have proven that the hate transcends the battlefield. I will not be surprise if told that APC governor has instructed Bus drivers to kill soldiers on the road. Now, you do not value the life of this soldier that worked for many years to get to the rank and was just killed by an illiterate mercenary sorry driver.

Take it easy, not even 1million buses equals the life of a human being. Show respect to the dead.

Dont make me laugh!
Did you read what you wrote? Its pure emotion!
"Reacting" to such death, in a senseless manner is what is "emotional"!
"Emotion" achieves nothing!.... except more destruction.

Read my last post and you will see "objectivity" .....

Have you asked yourself what the soldier was doing in a BRT lane? (Not a justification for the accident though)
He was killed "by mistake" because he was riding in a lane designated for BRT and he was breaking the law by doing so.

Let us assume it was one of these "Okada driver' that suffered this fate, will the Army burn 4Buses or will Okada drivers go on rampage and burn 4 Buses.... and if they did, what do you think the law enforcement (the same OP MESA) will do to those caught doing so?

This is how you should reason, if you can remove the "emotions" out of your thoughts.

Simply put: He caused his own death while breaking the law!

Colouring of fonts doesnt inject sense into nonsense. The mere fact that you totally believe that the PENALTY for CROSSING THE BRT LANE is DEATH, speaks loudly of your IQ as a Party supporter, a Party and as a human being. If a Soldier crosses the BRT lane, the law says Arrest and Prosecute, but I know my APC Governor must have informed the mercenary driving the buses to KILL EVERY SOLDIER on BRT LANE.

APC hates Nigerian Soldiers, cos you want to kill them all so terror can succeed.

Chew that and think.

I understand u, yes those in authority(Goodluck in particular) should take responsibility. but what I am saying is that duties have been delegated to them and the constitution backing them up. Two wrongs don't make a right. Dora Akunyili, Nuhu Ribadu etc performed thier duty very well and u don't need to call the president. Today these individuals are been mentioned before the one who appointed them. When the former Army Chief pushed the insurgents back some ppl were commending the army and not the President. When the former power minister worked hard to improve the power situation, it was Prof bath or NEPA of every ones lips and not the one who appointed him. So what I am saying is that some ppl shud take responsibility when it is bad and not only take commendation when things are well else they should leave thier positions. The president knows he can't do the work alone, that is why he appointed them else they there may be no need to waste millions in paying them. That is my view. But nice one to you anyway. I understand ur point and where u headed. Well done.

You sound realy foolish,so if a civilian mistakenly kills a soldier then that civilian must pay with his life and properties must be vandalised to give him a safe passage to hell? imagine a fellow civilian fueling the increase of a police state in a country without respect for civilians. check yourself before you wreck yourself.

"APC hates and wants to kill soldiers "
