Sanwoolu hasnt given any reason for removing the CCTV at the tollgate??...
That nigga clearly knows something..

Why should he do that if I may ask? Is the said Tollgate under State Management?! How are we so sure he ordered the removal of the CCTV Cameras?!

There is more to what happened at Lekki than what some of you are saying here. Truth gonna reveal itself as times go by.

EarlRagnar2:
Tinubu miscalculated what the army will do, same tinubu that had to flee the country during the days of Nadeco.....I don't think that's possible sha

And you think he is not smart enough to calculate that his political future will hang in the balance and he'll become a pariah in Lagos if he connives with the army to murder Lagosians?

I think they got reports that a few were stolen at night, cause if they had an evil agenda, they can turn it off or remove it late at night

They have killed a chance we had for change with propaganda, this movement is dead

The binary form of thinking on this thread is contagious and the hypocrisy is jarring just as Drake said, there are no real friends on this thread except few people. Oasis007 some of us here are worse than our present oppressors what they're lacking is a handhold on power before they display their crookedness, justifying false information under the banner of all is fair and square in war, we all need to change our mindsets else we will keep facing similar problems down the line

Is there Covid in Nigeria?

Cos we're under mad lockdown here...

The same Tinubu said this earlier today about the use of force on protesters at Lekki yesterday night:

"It can certainly not be their motive to cause generalised anarchy or effect regime change.

“If they give the impression that that is their goal, then any government will necessarily have to act with the requisite decisiveness and force to restore law and order and preserve constitutional rule.

“However, the protesters must be careful not to set the stage for the erosion or destruction of the same democratic process that gives them the freedom and right to protest in the first place."

But he miscalculated?

By the way, Tinubu has lost nothing. TVC and The Nations that are burnt to Ashes are simply blessings in disguise.

He won't be stupid not to have full Insurance in place for all his Businesses. Jagaban gonna cash out big Time after the Protests.

even natural disasters insurance companies wouldn't cover, its looting that they will cover

He will steal lagos government money to fix it or sanwo olu will do it for him with state funds but no insurance company will give you such cover

Sometimes, trying to be a contrarian all the time isn't the way to go.

Plus people are angry. You can't downplay their justified anger.

It isn't necessary that we speak all the time or play the devil's advocate.

We need to be more sympathetic.

The bolded is where the problem lies.
I don't know what would make you think I'm not sympathetic.

The truth is that what happened yesterday was discernibly a predictable pattern, which is why many reasonable people have been calling for a suspension of the protests in it's current form.
The blunt truth is that more lives will be lost if these protests continue and we will only continue to lament. We all need to start Calling for an immediate suspension of the protests.

Later we can back, fully energized with a clearer message. Meanwhile, we need to vet and scrutinize ceaselessly every bit of information we get to get a better informed assertion of the situation.

Covid wetin? For Naija heat?

Oyinbo man dey fear something that kills 1 in 1,000 people. In Nigeria, we have others that kill 5 in 1,000 like SARS-Cov-2, accidents, typhoid and such.

If you live to 70 in Naija and Covid kill you, we will write it off as old age. You don try to reach 70 sef.

I can't believe it Bro. I support the Movement, the Protest even till now, but won't be misled again. Gonna have to vet any Information I see on SM before sharing it henceforth.

Those media houses are not sources of income but sources of spreading propaganda which is key to his political career. He runs them at a loss.

Covid here? Them no send covid again since..

If you want to get at any government

Use civil disobedience, dem go humble, violence and unnecessary gathering with no agenda una dey waste una time

Giving them excuse to use force, go YouTube and see what American police did to Americans


A few deaths are allowed to restore order, just dont kill too many

200 deaths is bad, 40 nobody will move, na so the world be, American families wouldn't sacrifice their husbands to go to Nigeria to fight your battles for you

We have learned to live with hunger, poverty, police brutality, insecurity and banditry, corruption, terrorism, evil rulers and a whole host of other things.

What in the blue hell is a Covid?

it was a bad idea sending the army, the commander behind those guys if he wasn't sent from abuja they will dismiss him

If nothing is done, if no Head rolls, then Sanwolu is right.

The same Tinubu said this earlier today about the use of force on protesters at Lekki yesterday night:

No, he said it two days ago before the shooting

Oasis007:

even if nobody died, the outcry it triggered

Someone is going to pay, as for tinubu and sanwo olu dey have empowered pdp in lagos state

Ibime:

I made a mistake with the specific date, but he said it this week, so the message is very relevant, considering the fact that the Nigerian Army announced the launch of Operation Crocodile Smile a couple of days ago.

It's all pre-planned.

Wow, I'm amazed. Try to get across to the management of the toll gate and tell them to use this as a reason for removing the cameras.

You are really trying so hard.

We are all fools, we will believe.

Lekki toll gate plaza that has been the most responsible and peaceful protest ground and this is the same place were people were stealing these big cameras and nobody noticed. Then all of a sudden, they now noticed people removing the cameras yesterday, which coincided with the massacre.

Just wow.

You switching the timing is deliberately to make him look like a hawk justifying the shooting of civilians.

What he said is not rocket science. It's the same we have been saying on this thread for the last few days before the shooting that force will be used before long

When wine ages well

Where are those that were attacking my family
Looking stupid right now

Very stupid and gullible bastards.
They would easily fall for anything they see online.
It's very well known that the greatest threat to our society today is misinformation.

While the internet is supposed to be a tool for enlightenment, it many at times send many into a rabbit hole and an echo chamber of lies and conspiracy theories.

Many people are advised to always double check information before absorbing it irrespective of how sensational it is. We have to try to not get sucked in emotionally to every bad news we see.

For instance, few months ago here, I posted the raw murder of a boy who was being killed by cultists. Only for me to later learn that that same victim being killed was a ring leader of a rival court who had assassinated a local government councilor in delta state.

Oasis007:

Are you cursed? So you actually believed what that guy wrote?
Haven't you seen clips of government cars and police cars transporting hired thugs? If they could foolishly do that in broad day light, what is removing ordinary CCTV in broad day light that they can't do?

How did you know it's deliberate when that thread was created and pushed to the front page today where I read it?


The news report itself was published by Sahara Reporters yesterday.

I don't know what point you are trying to make with all this, but Tinubu is culpable in that incident.

That's a glaring fact, and he even made that statement quite recently.

iamJ:

Are you people this wicked? God!

I believe the curfew was slated for 9pm, why was the board switched off before the curfew time which in turn coincided with the time of massacre? And when exactly was the board switched on, during daybreak or after the deal was done? these are not just adding up really?

BlueRayDick:


What if I tell you the information he gave out there is incorrect? I work on the island and stay on the mainland, I've once been at iyana oworo by 5.30am and the billboard for 3rd mainland was up and running?

I just told u to verify from people who stay at Lekki axis to find out if during COVID-19 lockdown the billboards were switched off 10pm in compliance with the curfew order.

Was it not yesterday u were exploring the option of one of LCC's supervisors getting credit alert of ₦2m and taking the cameras out? What happened to that same theory here now? Don't u think LoatsAD and Sanwoolu had more explanations to do?

Chief, when I was still in Naija, I was always driving through the toll late at night because of the type of job I had, they try to kill the lights at 1/2 am.

I don miss Naija sha, Hard Rock Cafe every Friday and Saturday evenings till around 3/4am. Bros, not all the billboards run for 24 hours!

Sebi it was Yoruba boys that burned the Lagoon Oba Palace?
