Soldiers Shoot To Disperse 'Occupy' Protesters In Lagos As Nigerian Secret Police Raids CNN's Office

Why do I bother calling up popele when I can just read this!

PDP is the re-branded version of the 60's grand-alliance of Northern Peoples Congress (NPC) and the National Congress of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC) who, together have been ruling Nigeria since our 1960 Independence. In 2012, Nigeria is over 50 years behind what we were in terms of development and political maturity and stability because we still have the same practitioners of the evil alliance of "you chop, I chop" political philosophy in-charge of the affairs of the Nation in control: in agbada or semi-military fatigue. What we are experiencing now is a re-play of what had happened before by a determined generation of plonders and looters of PDP. Until collectively we remove this unholy alliance from the political life of Nigeria via the ballot box, not supervised by Jega, or other acceptable means, the Show of "Suffering & Smiling" goes on unabated until the "Smiling" becomes a rare commodity.

 Well, the soldiers shooting indiscriminately now will soon join the train of buy things in the market and I think they will suffer it more than us.

Without attempting to join issues with the few government agents and genuine morons who come to this forum on a daily basis to insult our collective intelligence,I wish to affirm that the present dark cloud enveloping our country will soon give way . Sooner than expected ,it will be a new day in Nigeria. Fuel subsidy as presently portrayed is the biggest scam of our time.Post 2011 Nigeria needs a president who can confront corruption and that man is not Dr Jonathan.Before 2015 the trash will be taken out. Our God is a merciful God. It was by His permission that Dr Jonathan ascended the throne .Umaru Yaradua's demise was a test for Jonathan from his Lord.Before Jonathan,govt. annually spent no more than 300 billion naira to fund the corruption called fuel subsidy,but in one year of Jona in office the cost went up to 1.3 trillion naira!!!.Some day the whole truth will come into the open.

You are a giant fool and your stupidity is taller than you. Why will someone that had the opportunity to visit the four walls of a school, speak in such manner. Democracy means, govt of the people, for the people by the people. He can not be voted in by the people and become an authoritarian leader. He is incapable ofrunning his own home with authority, why tryto start with the country? His wife runs around like a headlesschicken and he can not control her, now he uses military forces to control Nigerian. I guess you are just as foolish as he is. No wonder they say foolish minds think alike. Dump ass piece of shit

Please sahara i can now see that you are the voice of people like unde bakare so there is nothing that you would say that would be in support of the government please as his voice please tell him that there is no vacancy in aso rock for dis gruntled nigeria politician that fool themselves and call them selves pastors and that many of us do nor regret voting for gej and not for him.

If the govt want to investigate the reporters why not send police insteed of military and why now, where were they since?

Jonathan is a fraud, his Phd should be investigated. The man's actions and utterances have repeatedly confirmed that we have an idiot occupying Aso rock villa. He has now added a despotic angle to his stupidity which is the normal course of action for those without intellectual capacity to win arguments or convince their opponents. The critical issue for Nigerians now is to find a way to remove this despot from office before he plunges the country into total anarchy and possible civil war. By sending armed soldiers after unharmed protesters he is simply going to provoke people into insurgency. Preventing the reporting of his despotic act made him send SSS officials after BBC and CNN.

Fela Anikulapo-Kuti of blessed memory referred to our type of democracy as DEMONSTRATION OF CRAZE. What better way to describe the government's action of unleashing armed soldiers on UN ARMED citizens for daring to ask questions. Now I also agree that all future leaders MUST be certified fit by "YABA" or "ARO". Our rulers have gone "bananas"!!!!

AND YOU CALL THIS DEMOCRACY????????????????!???!!!!!!!!????

The word of GOD has already said it.that we should not depend on human being.you can see how people were fighting for you during your election time.so you now think in your mind that what nigeria did for you is not good.the best thing to do them is to remove fuel subcidy,so that they can suffer but mind you. We hav GREAT GOD. If you like call a litre of fuel 500 naira GOD wil give us power to buy it. but mind you sir you have fail us as a nigeria and d judgement is on d way . . . . 9ja are nt hapi wit u.

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) -- Nigerian state security officers visited CNN's office in Lagos on Monday, asking for proof that all CNN staffers working in the country were legally registered.
The three plainclothes officers left after a CNN staffer agreed to bring documentation to the local state security office later in the day. Nothing was taken from the bureau and no CNN staffers were detained.
After a later meeting with state security representatives, CNN received assurances that all documentation was in order.
The visit occurred as CNN was reporting extensively on unrest in Nigeria over the government's decision to adjust fuel subsidies. CNN's reporting efforts were not interrupted.

You are mad, for posting this rubbish, Mr Anonymous! Just as the GEJ Govt is mad!Sahara Reporters' report is quite accurate! Otherwise, since when has "verification of legal registration" of journalists become the duty of military personnel? You are either foolish or you are a Govt agent. Do you think Americans are mad, like a few Nigerians that have sold their country?

Kill corruption not Nigerians!!! www.bribenigeria.com .... Fighting Corruption in Nigeria!!!

when did it become the job of armed military official to investigate who or who isn't a licensed reporter? ridiculous! What a joke!

Why are most of the commentators here taLking trash? Please you all should say meaningful things. @Abdul, U dare compare GEJ to Abacha? All your facts are twisted and lies. When did GEJ order killings?
I just had to reply because I dnt like the current situation but I will not go this low to talk meaningless rubbish.
If GEJ was like Abacha, let me see if you would dare go out to protest for a whole week and not have been locked away with the keys thrown away or shot dead at the spot.
People please stop lying and speak the truth.

The quickest way for a revival of the comatose Nigerian economy is by having a regime with the political will to fight and eradicte official corruption.The PDP is certainly not the party to depend on because the PDP is incapable of functioning corruption free.Next election is going to be make or break.

Fellow Nigeria, even with information at our finger tips, we still can not cross check news before comments. Contrary to the news headline CNN office raid by Nigeria Military. There was no such raid, rather three military personnel visited the CNN office to find out if their reporters were legally registered to report in Nigeria. No arrest was made , no raid ,no seizure and nothing like was reported. If such as describe by the reporter is true CNN will be the first to report it, pls visit CNN website for details.

@Rommel it baffles me that you can say GEJ was sensible when the whole country is falling apart. 1) Where are these same soldiers when BH was killing civilians in the North,or JOS 2) where is the sense when Law and order is no longer respected by all Nigerians as to Muslims /Christians killing one another 3) Corrupiton;- where is the EFCC when during his govt when Turai and the rest signed the Budget while yar'adua was in Saudi.
Please I just hope your're trying to be sarcastic with your view because common sense and reasoning is far from our leaders especially Jonathan.

There can never be two captains over a ship. Thanks u woke up to reality my Presido. Some lions in sheep clothings would ve hijacked the work to rule. Well done for proving that your excellency is still in charge. Bravo!

Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC)are the most corrupted people in Nigeria, than fellow by INEC staffs.and we are handling everything to Allah. Allah would judge.

"So much black panya for free" what else would keep oyibo in gidi? unless of course he's also a journo/security attache....

Oyibos had been deceiving the world saying GEJ is a democrat.
Now their media has had a taste of his medicine he'd get the same coverage as Assad, Mubarak & Gaddafi. Well done GEJ, for handing the Nigerian population a voice.
Real media folks, not peppersoup journalists in Nigeria, don't like it when one of their own is harassed.
Smile Nigerians, your suffering is about to end.

has soldier taken over the government, is there war in the land that warrant Yoruba land to be invaded by soldiers? why this now. this is a minus to whoever send them on erand. they are telling us, the Yoruba does not have a freedom of speech, no wonder faceless Boko haram is roaring like a lion. Yoruba respect the rule of law and we will never allow anyone to deprive our people from their right to freedom of speech and peaceful demonstration.
