Busy day. Someone pointed the @CNN video report on the Lekki incident to me. Sadly, for the reputable news channel, it was only a rehash of what others said before. A potpuorri of existing videos & claims with zero new evidence. Only an international validation to local claims.
Obviously, from evidence available to date, the army did attempt their typical show of force to dislodge the protesters at Lekki TG that night in line with the curfew declared by LASG.
Did they shoot live rounds of high caliber ammo at massed protesters for 8hrs (6:25pm to 2am)?

You will be wise to believe the plans itemized by PMB in the broadcast irrespective of the vitriol from the usual haters.
One of the most hated men in Singapore in the 60s-70s was prime minister Lee Kuan Yew. Yet he transformed that country into one of the world's richest.
He was declared a tyrant by the opposition, press & so-called international community. Today, he is a celebrated hero. Nigeria is on the right part, in most instances.
From this January on, We will be earning far more from our Oil & Gas JVs plus we will receive the backlog...
