Fuel Subsidy Removal Protester Shot Dead in Ilorin (Photo)

Hmmm, This fuel subsidy issue is now getting really serious oh. Abeg everybody should go home and buy bicycle. We'll live to fight another day.

Now I can absolutely declare that the Change sweeping thru the world would hit Nigeria. Isn't this the same thing that sparked protests in Libya? Goodbye Jonathan. There is no way to spin this. Police is under the control of the I.G and the I.G takes orders from the president...Jonathan is responsible for this guys death. I think its time we hold people accountable. Why then would Mubarak be facing trial for shooting of protesters in Tahir Square?????

kcee said...

So they are now shooting down protesters. This is unacceptable.I just pray this doesn't turn out to become very violent.

Why will a police men open fire for those who are fighting for their right? Who are saying their mind, I thot this is Democracy where every one has is or her right. God save Nigeria. May his soul R.I.P why people are crying for the removal of fuel subsidy here is a woman who want to kill her husband with sex. ReadMY WIFE WANT TO KILL ME WITH SEX TO INHERIT MY PROPERTY

*smh* dz country jst suckz! Dnt we have d rite to protest dz callous policy of subsidy removal? Is d policeman who shot hm happy with d state of tinz in d nation? God help us!

chichiluv said...

What do you mean "is our government seeing this?" Is it not sanctioned by the government as a way to disperse protestants?

tols said...

d police officer that shot this guy would also die in penury and by the gun. An average police officer earns N600 per day and he dares shoot at some 1 fighting for his rite. Shame Shame Shame

It's really amazing, we can organise good parties, make the best speech, unfortunately we can't simply revolt against a government we empowered. There is no Democracy in Nigeria. I can only see demostration of madness in Nigeria. Nigeria is a LAWLESS country, where people rule with guns and money.

Goodluck ebele jonathan is a BIG FOOL. Maka why?? He ordered the killing of innocent nigerians because he has a fuel station in aso rock abi?? This is the begining of madness in this country. Nonsense

OMG! This needs to stop, abeg. Nigeria cannot handle this kind of nonsense. We are not Libya and Egypt o. The powers that be will shoot first and I think if this continues, it will be Syria part two or worse, we'll be ripped off instead of helped.

I saw this live policemen were shooting sparodically at unarmed youths! for cring out loud couldnt they have used tear gas ? One of the black clothed idiot ran into Sterling bank, which is just 50meters from where the poor boy was shoot. This got the youths angry and they burnt the bank's van and vandalised a Nissan Xterra Jeep and a Honda belonging to some members of staff.

Linda my post was not to insult you but I simply think although this is a blog you are still a means of communication that is desperately need in Nigeria. Wether you agree or disagree with me, you still owe it to your readers to educate yourself and give them the full information. I love your blog but by not posting my comment, you have proven to be no better than the govt. you attack!

shownoja said...

This photohas been discredited. Apparently if you import the picture to picasso and ask the software to arrange your pictures in date order, the date on this picture will be 23/10/2011. So thi picture has nothing to do with today's demonstrations.

Doortune said...

Dear citizens, the government will want to use propaganda to paint the protests as dangerous and scary so as to discourage people from protesting, let's not help propagate that. There are lots of fake pictures being sent like such. Even one of a BRT bus burning at Maryland and this happened about 3years ago.

Anonymous said...

why are u all getting excited about a picture that has not been authenticated. I mean this is 2012. And pls linda try and get more facts b4 u publish cos u could be inciting people to violence.

This man died because he was out to resist the oppression of a wicked government, he was killed by the barrell of a wicked Police paid from the tax of his hard earn labour or his endured suffering.
Let us just say that Goodluck Jonathan has killed one amongst the suffering masses. Let him seat in his mansion, enjoy the reward of his curruptions and never die.
Jonathan the murderer

it seems GEJ is in need of human sacrifice and so sees the death of Nigerian citizens as an advantage.

Sorry Linda. U got this all wrong. I studied the pics well and i think they are not true. On pic 1, the guy's face was to the right against the side where left arm lays parallel to his body. In pic 2, his face was to the left towards the side where the same left arm lays parallel to his body. Apparently the photographer told the "dead protester" to turn his face for all to see. Fantastic miracle performer. Only that he still left him "dead".

Whipping up sentiment to fight fuel subsidy removal. Wish u luck, honestly.

Anonymous said...

Who said the dead guy was shot by the police? Do we have police men in this country? The bad ones have spoilt the names of the good ones. Imagine a uniformed man, whose job is to protect lives instead, he took life! My main concern is that with all what that is going on, Our so called leaders are just sitting down doing nothing!I TRULY WISH FOR THE MILITARY TO TAKE OVER! MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE, AMEN.
