Skepticism?


Does the bolded seem like skepticism to u? He wasn't being skeptical, far from it. He stated it as fact.

I'm not surprised though, birds of a feather flock together.

DontBullshitMe:

Oh. I probably didn't see that. That post was extremely inappropriate and wrong.

And Wetin bring "birds of the same feather" to this conversation?

DontBullshitMe:

No one is denying the fact there are fatalities but the truth is that some political actors who are hell bent on the destabilisation of the country are amplifying and augmenting various reports with lies and misinformation.

Saraki was not in Lagos Yesterday, but somehow barely an hour after the incident, he released a statement throwing the word : "massacre" carelessly around. I'm deeply saddened by the recent development of events but it is plain and undiluted dishonesty to claim all the reports circulating are totally accurate.

If 2-3 'victims' have already debunked claims that they died, we should be wary of the fact that some reports that are still currently believed to be true might turn out to be a lie if thoroughly vetted.

Yea the news is on now.

I just got attacked by armed policemen in front of Kala Police station, Ikwerre Road. Gun marks on my car bonnet (not gunshot). They just used their AK to slam all over my car bonnet.

I hope your safe bro.

Any right-thinking person knows there's misinformation in some things posted online.

However, if you're bothered about misinformation at a time you should be about human lives, then you're as cruel and fiendish as Buhari, Tinubu, and their cohorts.

Over 100 innocent people have been killed by police officers and soldiers in these protests?

Is that misinformation?

Many have been injured by the callous acts of these security officers who are meant to protect lives but are taking them.

Is that misinformation?

Some people are heartless and extremely stupid.

[s]Misinformation is as dangerous anything you can imagine.

I do not intend to downplay the barbarity of yesterday's incident, but allowing a free-for-all spread of misinformation can cause twice as much as a damage recorded so far. On this thread, there was a misrepresentation of the ownership of an organisation until it was corrected Yesterday.

Let us all thread with caution do we don't have a Rwanda of the 90's on our hands[/s].

Izzouchukwu. Why you dey laugh me nah?

Did you actually have to add that line?

You always engage politely..Na man you be

Hope you're safe?

Yeah bro I watched it too, I wanted to cry like how can you be so heartless and wicked.Person jump enter river you still shot am 7 times like wtf

BlueRayDick:

It's disheartening. I'm sure the government will never do any open hearing / inquiry on this massacre cos if the do tons of witnesses willing to give evidences against the daredevil perpetrators will besiege the venue of such hearing.

So many people who witnessed the shameful act will never allow it to slide. It's already evening and yet the commander-in-chief has not deemed it fit to say anything to us concerning the massacre

This wouldn't get us anywhere

I guess this is the effect of not having a leader during the protests..

That's the problem..

These boys are jobless, no homes, into drugs and crime, and they see this as an opportunity to attack those they feel are responsible for their current predicament

It wouldn't be long before this spreads to the north..

See as them hold DPO for Rivers

Ibi.me, Skimpl.edawg, Tim.bros...Na so Una people dey do?

Skimpledawg:

Guy, men wey dey vex for Mile 1 Police people plenty. Those Ikoku boys don dey plan dem since. This was just the opportunity

Not sure about the division of the DPO but boys no get joy here.

BlueRayDick:


It's unfortunate. What most people don't know is that the brutality our police dish out goes beyond they being paid peanuts and being handed guns to safeguard lives and properties. It goes beyond that.


The years of military rule has robbed off on the police force and the military. Growing up I read a lot of TELL and THE NEWS magazines that detailed week-in week-out how the then military junta of Abacha oppressed the people with DMI ( Directorate of Military Intelligence), the police and some trained squad supervised by Hamza Mustapha. Our police and military never left these aggression that characterized during those periods when we transitioned into democracy. They took it along with them into the so called democracy we have been "enjoying"

Making Buhari an old war house a civilian president now makes things worse. It's more like he issued a new license for those aggression

DontBullshitMe:

I totally understand your point.

How is the situation in Benin though? Has the violence stopped? Because media outlets presently have their concentration on Lagos state.
