The National Flag, the shooting and the lie
The events of 20 10 20 are really like a dream to me. In the public domain was
a rehash of the events at the Toll Gate.Before the D Day, it was in the public domain perhaps because of the curfew imposed by the Lagos State Government, that soldiers will be deployed to scare the protesters.
To ward off the possible attack, it was supposed that no soldier would dare shoot at a citizen with his country's flag.
All these were in the public domain. Alas it turned out that there was no such rule known or unknown.
Many watched with consternation, the shooting of citizens by Nigerian soldiers. That was the origin of the flag with blood stains.
Lest we forget most of the celebrities were warned to stay away and they did.
The scape goats were those who believed that no soldier would shoot at not unarmed civilians like the soldiers did but flag waving citizens.
The immediate aftermath was a denial by a retired soldier that the footage of the shooting was fake.
Next was another denial by another person that the soldiers were fake.
Next was the fact that the soldiers were only armed with rubber bullets.
When live cartridges were presented as evidence, the soldiers and policemen claimed they shot into the air not directly at protesters.
Now today, the narrative has changed. No one was killed.

Injustices all over.
ReplyDeleteBut I am not happy as the families of the victims couldn't show up nor speak out. This singular acts give government opportunity to "anyhow"
I agree with you
DeleteWhat will I say? Or better still, what should I say. No much words. I will just speak like a Roman Catholic Christian who believes that our Lord and God who sees and knows everything will mete out the appropriate judgement. It may be slow to come but come, it must.
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteTruth can never be hidden forever and by now, everyone knows the truth except those who wish to be continually fooled by propaganda
ReplyDeleteI sincerely believe so
