A bank manager and a bank staff have been confirmed dead. The bank manager was reported to have been struggling with the robbers when he was shot dead. One of the robbers was captured and set ablaze.

May God help us especially at this election time. The atrocities being committed in military uniforms is getting out of hand. All of us go begin carry guns so that one can defend himself/herself.

Is this gradually becoming a trend? They shouldn't have set the robber ablaze. They would have tortured him to reveal the others.RIP to those that lost their lives in the course of this.

Unknown said...

The Bank manager shouldn't have struggled with the Sons of Darkness cos the money is already insured and the people shouldn't have set one of the Retards ablaze cos investigation would have reveal the identity of the other sickos.

Berry said...

This is sad and stupid. Why set him ablaze when he can give useful information to capture others.we should know how they get the uniforms too.

Nigerians are pretty much forced to choose between these
two... A lousy leader and a grandpa with flaws.
About two days to go to the presidential election. It is
obvious those two would take 95% of the votes but the
country would do best without either l believe.
The incumbent has failed us. He took over from an ailing
leader who was unarguably the best in recent times. He was
part of that administration but immediately he took over
changed every thing. 7 points agenda became 5. While he
struggled with instability and insensitivity within, the
country failed internationally. Everyday people question his
ability to control and manage the nation when it is obvious
he can't manage his 'Dame' wife who is the Sambo we
never voted for. He asks us to trust him to complement his
achievements. The achievements I can't see. Our economy
keeps sinking, foreign reserve depleted, no power, no
stability, no security.
The ruler in the past who ruled when of age is another
option. He is telling us when he ruled in his prime he wasn't
perfect but wants to perfect it now that he is close to
alzheimer and hypertension. He has been criticised for his
harshness in action and speech. He couldn't keep by his
words of not competing again. He is considered a better
option but the truth is he really shouldn't be an option. He
preaches change.
Change is measured. A little difference is a change. Nigeria
doesn't need a change. She needs to be resuscitated. A
dying person could be put on life support that's a change
possibly preventing death. Such patient could also be
diagnosed and treated. The difference between these two is
that one is helped to struggle to live by machines and the
other is living and jumping. What Nigeria needs is someone
that would diagnose and treat it not someone to put it on
life support because the past leader has injured her fatally.
While we have to pick the better of these two necessities I
call on us to remember they are not really options but
candidates forced upon us by the nature of our choices and
decisions. I pray by subsequent elections we have true
options in numbers.
Thank you.

See the mayhem erupting in the country and the said that they shouldn't use the military. I doubt whether the police alone can handle all this.

Why are pple so foolish, why will they kill the robber immediately, why not at least get more info abt the other armed robbers hideouts befor killing the guy?

It would have been better to hand the robber over to the police since he could give useful info that might lead to the arrest of his colleagues. I however understand why people would want to set the robber ablaze, one being lack of faith in the police.

Hmmmm, nawa ooo... Y wld u b struggling wt sm1 dat's holding a gun??

May the souls of those killed RIP.But it is wrong for to instantly kill the captured robber.He could have been useful in catching others.

I hope Nigerians will see through your eyes my brother. The problem we are facing we create it by our own hands.Goodluck as been given the chance but he flopped,there is no one God can't give a second chance but Goodluck 's activities in these last days to election and desperation to lead again just shows, he will flop even in a bigger form if elected again.
Buhari on the other hand, was not an adult to differentiate my left from my right when he was in power but I have ears and history has proven too that he is not what Nigeria needs to bring that change she so desire. The likes of Buhari, Obasanjo should be mentors who will be backbones to younger versions of themselves when they once had the chance in power to lead the country, ok they flopped, but they can do right their wrongs by doing the right thing which is not going back to power to rule again, that for me is the right thing.
Now to fellow Nigerians, though it's just less than 24hours to elections pls make a VISION of how you want our country to be most importantly what we have been through for the past decade in the hands of these leaders we won't want our generation yet unborn to suffer same, vote wisely by beating them to their game (s), then they will know we are serious and we will taken as such.
Thank you, please keep save tomorrow my fellow Nigerians, it is well with Nigeria.
