Photos: Soldiers sighted in different parts of Lagos this morning

Platoons of soldiers were sighted this morning patrolling the Victoria Island/Lekki axis of Lagos and Fola Agoro in Surulere. Probably in preparation for Saturday's general elections. More pics after the cut...

Hmmm! But why mama peace first lady, is afraid to go to jail if her hand is kline? Police tear-gas IMO state. Women, all Nigerians can see the way police men intimidate IMO state. Women because of one person GEJ; PPA candidate should stop making noise, because no Nigerians recognize ur PPA party before this days u don't have supporters. So stop making noise that u endorse GEJ, for presidency; Please they should tell GEJ, not to cause calamity to the Rivers state. People, Lagos state. People, kano and sokoto state. People, GEJ, should order security men now!!! Why politicians is afraid of card readers if ur hand is kline? Kudos to Jega, for using this card readers for this election; Governor of Ekiti state. Fayose, is intimidating Ekiti people @ Ekiti state. As I'm writing this msg right now with military personnel and thugs, the people are crying for help. Fayose, the leader of the thugs! Will not go unpunished; They say Buhari is sick. I agree that Buhari is sick. I am sick too. Any Nigerian who is not sick is not sick because he or she is incurably sick. We are all sick. And we should be sick. Because the way this country is going is getting worst everyday, yes,...

...Buhari is sick of the monumental corruption that has become institutionalized in Nigeria;

...Buhari is sick of the incompetence of a government that cannot protect the lives and properties of its citizens;

...Buhari is sick of the lack of a sense of urgency in the circles of government in Nigeria;

...Buhari is sick of a country that has placed itself on permanent reverse gear;

...Buhari is sick of a country that has left itself naked as it is raped dry by vagabonds in power;

...Buhari is sick of a youth population without jobs;

...Buhari is sick of a country where university education has become comparable to 8th grade competence in advanced civilizations;

...Buhari is sick of a country where roads are death traps;

...Buhari is sick of a country where people go into political offices near poor, but turn stupendously wealthy overnight;

...Buhari is sick of a country where education is priced beyond the reach of the common masses;

...Buhari is sick of a country where $20 Billion (possibly $45 Billion) of public fund develops legs and walks away, its whereabouts knowingly unknown;

...Buhari is sick of watching the country he loves ranked at the number one corrupt country in the word by the International ranking

Buhari is sick of a country that earns billions of dollars in oil revenue, yet has not a single functional oil refinery;

...Buhari is sick of a country where government has bowed to the dictates of power generator cabals in a conspiracy that ensures perpetual darkness on it citizen, Nigerians wake-up the time has com to make that change of Government. This is the time now #ihavedecided to vote for #change#

We're not fighting a civil war.
These soldiers should either be in the barracks or Born state and allow the police ensure law and order on Saturday

Peace and orderliness must be maintained. It's good they have some drills and create some awareness for people to see. I just hope they will discharge their duties without being used in favour of any political party as we've read in past news. God bless Nigeria!

Why are we heightening tension?? Why are we intimidating our own people. Security these days is more of Intelligence gathering and acting upon it by taking out the trouble makers before they act, not playing out a siege mentality!! This is poor and just shows how shallow we all are for the things we accept as a people!

There is an advert at the end of these comments in white letters against black background that reads 'If Buhari wins Nigeria loses'. May that black thunder that has been in the gym doing press ups strike the sponsor of that advert. If Buhari win Nigeria loses the most corrupt government in Africa ever. Clueless people. You need the military to perpetuate your corrupt greed and economic cannibalism yet you have been sacrificing our agile military personnel to Boko boys all these years. You need the military to reverse the wish of the pauperised masses at the polls yet you go about abusing the same military on Silverbed Tv. How perpetually stupid can you be.

In 2011 Election wasn't war and thousands died.. If your not planing to cause trouble why are you not happy that lives will be protected.. No more will anybody intimidate another with threats of violence. Nobody has monopoly of violence. Nonsense..we cnt keep loosing brothers and sisters to one party and be saying all is well

Unknown said...

By not using them for elections they meant having them around Voting points

Unknown said...

You are in Nigeria.. deploying soldiers is right for this elections...so swallow your updated knowledge on intelligence gathering and allow the soldiers create a sense of safety..this is Nigeria and not Europe

Unknown said...

Military presence is needed,but the major concern of some(including me)is the partisan on the part of the Military,if the contenders can preach peace,i don't see why we are not going to do same.............But note,Ekitigate should not repeat itself in this critical contest.Vote for Credible individuals and not party,Vote for integrity and Unity Nationhood.

where the soldiers not around during the 2011 elections?have they not been in the country while the insurgents are having a merry go round? hahahahahaha,i love reading about our country nigeria,amd our biggest problem has always been the army,they have never ever ever been partisan.all in the name of securing the elections you all will read about what they will be doing,harrasment and intimidation will be the order of the day,and this will now discourage peaceful voters from coming out,our army always dances to the tune of whomsoever is in power,whether PDP today or APC or KOWA or NCP,their fealty is in their pockets and not their oath to the constitution.

#smh - even if Buhari forms xyz party he will get 30% of Nigerian's vote; why is it there there is no other Nigerian that will single handedly form a party and get upto 10% of votes. If GEJ leaves PDP today, he will get less than 5% of Nigerians' votes.

#smh - People should ask themselves why Buhari commands respect (not because he is a northerner, there are other northern leaders).

#smh - regarded as the only honest Nigerian leader is no mean fit in such a corrupt country.
