Now that CNN has proved Lekki Massacre to be true, what next?

 

For sometime now, a way out of unemployment in Nigeria is to pick an appointment abroad and come home to be heralded as an expert from abroad.

I recall that when I went to boarding house in the village, one of the drawbacks for me was that I lost my position in my Lagos based football team.

Then I did not understand until years after, when I went to train with my Lagos based secondary school team and I could not locate my position on the field as a left half back.

I did not know the position had changed to a left legged centre back.

The above are illustrations of the importance of where you have been and where you are coming from.

The Lekki Massacre was dismissed initially by the Nigerian Army as Fake News and later they recanted but still gave a false account of the events.

Pat  Utomi gave an account of what happened on that day. Dj Switch, filmed it Live. Channels TV's maverick reporter Olu Philips gave a live account on TV, yet the Government did not budge.

Now that CNN have revealed the origin and ownership of the bullets used, what next for the government?

Since we have elevated the art of believing foreign products more than local products may be the government will budge or at worst, threaten CNN with expulsion.

Whichever, way, it goes, the time to come clean is now and later think of the best way to make amends.
