Nigeria it deserves its leader. Here is a man who is not a politician or like anything we have had before. Yet we scuff at him
Our suffer never reach, and the politicians know that.
Has for me and my family anything different is welcome and I will campaign for him for free

Being Nigeria 's president isn't enough to change this country.

I don't trust this dude, he can't do better.

even if you are a saint, how do u deal with the corrupt cabal u will meet there?

Gofundme is protecting its integrity.

Hmm

How many likes for Donald Duke?

How many shares for Sowore?


Oya..lets go

id rather take my chances with Sowore

Kundagarten:
They've only succeeded in giving him more publicity. Many people didn't know of this, now his gofundme account is going to soar.
Buhari must leave next year.

dude, I can't believe you didn't know this is a scam. Imagine giving this guy $2M and then he tells you that he is stepping down...

You're wrong, Sowore is as fed up with Buhari like Obasanjo, Oby Ezekwesili etc are.
If you want Buhari back to Daura, you have to take some risks rather than doing nothing but expecting Buhari to just walk away from the presidency.

Spot on about using Blockchain Technology

Jethrolite:
It is just a minor hitch. He should create a proper website containing his manifesto and how he intends to actualize it if voted by breaking the manifesto into SMART goals and milestones them cap it up with PayPal, bitcoin, ethereum and other further funding means. Gofundme is just one avenue, if he had it listed with the other options I stated then it will be an inconsequential setback.

diasporaman:
It serves him right. Sowore has brought shame to journalism with his love for money. He is under a curse, nothing will ever work for him unless he appologizes to Apostle Johnson Suleman

so if he apologizes to your papa in the Lord, Your deputy God Suleiman will grant him access to deceive and dupe gullible Nigerians?

The scary thing is it's actaully "young" people fighting on nairaland for pdp and apc. Poverty is a curse.

Anyone who's fighting sowore has either being paid 3,000 naira by a party or is affiliated to a church exposed by sowore.

Shebi today he wants to raise 2billion dollars. When Gej was raising his during the last presidential elections his media were talking trash up and down. Ntoor

Bros, I know he is fed up but you and I know he can't win. Why don't he team up with Donald Duke, using is social media clout to boost Duke's image? Same thing I will tell Fela Durotoye...

I respect his works so far and if not for his commitment, we would never had unraveled many of the evils done by politicians but election is not won online because of the illiteracy of our people. Election is won on the streets, those illiterate holds the power.

This is where I am not even happy with Duke because he is taking the whole thing too relaxed. Me think his appearance is only meant for 2023 sha..

chuksjuve:
Political yahoo yahoo
You can't eat your cake and have it..
Gofundme knows that dude is not near a presidential candidate material..
He's a disgrace to journalism..

and u thought u made any sense with this... smh

All I know is this guy will be far better than buhari so peeps lets support him.

The 2019 ambition of Omoyele Sowore suffered setback on Wednesday after GoFundMe suspended his bid to raise $2 million towards his ‘Take Back Nigeria Movement’.

The Sahara Reporters publisher told PREMIUM TIMES Wednesday night that he could not immediately say why the crowdfunding platform suspended his account, but said he would not be discouraged.


“I woke up this morning and got an e-mail saying saying they’ve suspended the campaign,” Mr. Sowore said.

Previously, he had been asked to provide further details about the purpose of the fundraiser by GoFundMe, which he did without hesitation.

He said the request was most likely due to the popularity that his campaign had garnered from those supporting his presidential ambition online.



But the campaign also elicited resentment amongst his antagonists, especially for its apparent success within the early hours of registration.

“I think they started reporting us as soon as we opened it and they saw we made $1,000 in one hour,” Mr. Sowore said.

The closure could prove demoralising for the anti-corruption campaigner, coming just as his campaign was getting off to a great start.



Mr. Sowore, who lives in New York from where he runs Sahara Reporters, first unveiled his presidential ambition during one of his regular visits to Nigeria last month.



Mr. Sowore’s bid gained widespread momentum after PREMIUM TIMES published an interview he granted it.

He lampooned President Muhammadu Buhari as a misfit in the interview, promising to offer an unprecedented leadership for a people he said had never been lucky with leaders since its independence in 1960.

“If there is anything we have learned in the last few years, it is the fact that the Nigerian electorate has become impatient with purposeless leadership,” Mr. Sowore said.

To actualise his ambition, he vowed to pursue a relentless mobilisation of Nigerians to rally behind his message for a new Nigeria.

“It will be the largest mobilisation of Nigeria’s ignored and dispossessed people,” Mr. Sowore said. “It will be the most direct engagement of a people in their own political future.”

Crowdfunding via channels like GoFundMe is one of the earliest but critical stages of Mr. Sowore’s campaign, although the activist said he had not identified a political platform under which he would run.

The Nigerian Constitution has no provisions for independent candidacy, although efforts to change this are currently part of the ongoing process to amend the Constitution.

GoFundMe did not immediately respond to PREMIUM TIMES e-mail seeking comments about the development Wednesday night.

But notwithstanding the reservations of GoFundMe against Mr. Sowore or the outcome of the dispute, the Sahara Reporters publisher strongly believes in his ability to see his ambition through.

“There is no going back!” He said in a Facebook update informing his followers of the development shortly after 11:00 a.m. Wednesday.

The account has been suspended.

PMB Vs Sowore:

While Sowore was busy getting beat and locked by IBB and Abacha for democracy, GMB was wining and dining with Abacha.
