#EndSARs: Nigeria, CNN and sacred facts

''The government narrative was flawed from beginning till the present. The Nigerian Army first denied being at the Lekki Toll Gate only to admit days later that they were there but did not shoot at protesters. Then they claimed they shot
blank bullets to the air to disperse protesters but when video clippings and other media evidences could not be flawed, they changed the story by admitting that they actually went there with live ammunitions, too. At a stage, Abubakar Malami, Attorney General and Minister of
Justice claimed that it was not the Army that shot at the protesters but hoodlums wearing Army uniforms. Earlier, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos State, denied inviting soldiers and blamed forces above him for the presence of the Army, a claim bitterly disputed by the Army
when they said they were there at the invitation of the governor. The governor was to admit later that he invited them to enforce curfew, but not to shoot at protesters. What could have triggered this house of commotion at this time?''

Drinking tips from a Cocktail Connoisseur
Drink responsibly
*THE A-Z OF POPULAR ALCHI...*
Hennessy VS / OX and VSOP is more of a culture than a premium drink.
Even worse is that you have probably never tasted an original.
JW Red Label used to be this popular. These days it’s
usually in First Aid boxes for cleaning open injuries.. like TCP.
It will happen to Henny
Jameson is an alte drink.
It represents youth and some sort of Political correctness.
On its own, it’s better off as a very good base to mix cocktails.
It’s also highly tolerable.
Regardless
of your brand, you can manage Jameson as a second choice.
Glenfiddich is Jameson.
But for Older people and new money.
Kind of what Jack Daniels No. 7 represents.
Except that JD at every level is better than its counterpart in Glenfiddich.
But as I type, Glenfiddich is a growing

A very good friend and a globally renowned financial/ICT consultant Asonumaka George Wakanma has advised the FGN to take these steps to pull the country back from economic precipice:
''For now available records shows that:
1. There are currently 86million unemployed youths Image
2. Where 20 million are university graduates that had never ever been employed.
This is growing by the day ...and is a source of concern for any right thinking mind ...
The solutions and the social intervention funding schemes the government are coming up with are at best a
worst idea from a moron
Let me attempt to proffer a simple workable and implementable solution to the evil specter of the rising youth unemployment in Nigeria For a 21st century time.
All the Government need to have done is to pursue the ICT revolution .

*Army* - We were not at the Lekki toll gate.

*Sanwo Olu* - Army was not at Lekki toll gate.

*Army* - We were there but we didn't shoot at protesters.

*Sanwo Olu* - protesters were shot at but only got injured, no casualties.
*Army* - The Governor invited us to the Lekki toll gate.

*Sanwo Olu* - I don't have the power to order soldiers to Lekki.

*Army* - We shot only blank bullets nobody died.

*Sanwo Olu* - Two (2) people were killed at toll gate.

*Malami (AGF)* - Hoodlums wearing army
uniforms shot protesters at Lekki toll gate not the Army.

*Army* - We are highly disappointed in Sanwo Olu for being a coward and saying he didn't invite us to Lekki and also saying Two (2) people died.

Yet, these are the people that want to curb fake news on social media.

''The same demographic that will support Buhari, if he attempts a 3rd term are the same who are overtly or covertly against #EndSARS, support "regulation of the social media" and think these routine hikes in the pump price of PMS is deregulation or subsidy but when cleared that
it isn't go ahead to say, "well, we trust Buhari. If it's to buy fuel at extra costs we will, after all how much are they selling it in Nigeria?" It's the same horde that supported the border closure justifying it with, "whatever little sacrifice we have to make to make Nigeria
succeed, we are in support. Sai Baba." They are the exact literate replicas of the one whi swarm in a a very dirty gutter in celebration of Buhari's win. By the tilt of their biases on public issues you know how their brains work. Unfortunately they want to have an opinion on

On Wednesday 11th November 2020 in Enugu, ijeoma Neke, a makeup artist was booked for a makeup business in an undisclosed location. According to her friend, she demanded for the address for the occasion but the customer asked her to come to EBS bustop (a popular bu stop in Enugu) Image
so that she will be taken to the place. On their way, she suspected some unusual movement and contacted her brother via text message [she sent her brother the phone number of the person who called her for the job] in case. She has been found dead yesterday and her face was
bathed with acid. May her soul rest in peace.There are so many evil predators out there,insist on meeting unknown clients in a public place or let them come to your place of business.Please stay safe

LEKKI: WHY I BELIEVE THE PROTESTERS!
''The Army's case has been blighted by too many contradictory and inconsistent versions.
At first, and for more than one week, it insisted it was not at the scene of the shooting, and that it did not fire any shots. Belatedly, it now agrees
that it was indeed at Lekki. And now, a retired Brigadier - General, who was in Abuja on the night of the shooting, almost a thousand miles away from the crime scene, has suddenly appeared to peddle hearsay, claiming that the Army only fired blanks!
To get at the truth of this
matter, it is important to focus on the Army's first version, ie, that it was not at Lekki at all. If all that the Army did was to arrive Lekki and fire blanks which did not kill any protester but merely dispersed them, why did the Army for more than a week attempt to contrive
