People who oppose Sowore fall into one of the following categories:

1. Genuinely ignorant: They are the ones who ask questions civilly and even when they air their doubts you can't help but answer them civilly.

2. Resident Tribalists: These ones are very easy to spot. They spew hatred with their posts so much that you begin to wonder if they've had a one-on-one with the man before.


They swear with their lives and on their parents' graves that they will never vote for Sowore even if it would save then from going to hell.


They hate him because he was instrumental in kicking out the corrupt government of the infamous drunken ineffectual buffoon.


They tell you that they can never vote for him because he is Yoruba.


Most of them hide under the fact that he supported Buhari so they can't trust his judgement.



3. The Perpetually Immature: To these ones everything is a joke. They are never serious. They think politics section is their daddy's front yard where they can play in the mud.


They put the man down without offering any constructive criticism. Neither do they suggest who they'd like to vote for probably because they are not of voting age yet.


They spew stuff like, "he is joking", " he should go and contest for councillorship ", " he can't achieve it ", " he is inexperienced ", blah blah blah

I forgot to add these very important bunch of human beings.


4. Destiny Sellers:


These are the ones who have sold their destinies and mortgaged their children's own to politicians.


They will come here and defend Buhari and Atiku, including Saraki and Dino.


They are only about their stomach and what they can fill it with at the moment. No thought about tomorrow ever crosses their minds.


They believe in the politician that pays the most during election period, out pays them to go across social media and launder their rotten images.


These ones have sold their souls to Satan.

There are plenty of sound reasons for refusing to back Sowore's candidacy, none of which have to do with tribalism or any affection for the rotten carcass that is the PDP: for one thing, as this joke of a "manifesto" indicates, Sowore doesn't seem to have much of a clue about what it will take to govern better than the likes of Buhari or GEJ, and the only selling point he has is the dubious one of "youth", as if Nigerian history alone weren't full of leaders who were "youths" but turned out to be vicious, corrupt and incompetent to boot.

To anyone who has bothered to follow political campaigns in places like Europe or North America, what Sowore is offering here is ludicrously amateurish and devoid of intellectual substance.

Any fool can make the sorts of promises he's done here, and one of the most damning criticisms of Buhari is that he made all sorts of pie in the sky promises he never stood a chance of keeping, but Sowore hasn't even managed to learn from that elementary lesson. A serious candidate with more than "youth" to offer would be putting together concrete policy proposals on matters such as policing, LGA independence, decentralization of power, privatization of parastatals, deregulation of the petroleum sector, judicial reforms to cut trial times and costs, improving FDI, etc., and to this end, such a candidate would be bringing onboard subject-matter experts who would help turn his or her desired goals into something that could actually be brought to pass. Sowore has lived for several years in the USA, a country in which such things are taken for granted in politics, and yet his campaign fails to reflect even the sophistication of someone running for the office of Mayor in an American small town!

Both the APC and PDP are jokes, and they are very much in need of replacement by something better, but all indications thus far are that Sowore is not that person. He hasn't given the slightest indication that he's got the brains to do the job any better than the thief from Otuoke or the senile coup-plotter from Daura.

vibrant99:
You sit down and type like a Lazy that Buhari just quantified, You are part of the reason this country can never move, why are you urinating in your pants now?

omohayek:

Oh nonsense! You've just bashed out a lot of ad hominem up there while patting yourself on the back thinking you wrote something worth more than the horse manure it is.

Much irrelevant bunkum excluded

MrALIVE:
your problem is trying to show you know something but whereas you are empty

omohayek:

[s]You're as unintelligent as you're long-winded, not blessed with even the brainpower required to think your way out of a cardboard box. No wonder you think this joke of a manifesto is the harbinger of a savior, rather than seeing it for the proof of Sowore's cluelessness that it really is.[/s]

5thElement:


You can exit my mentions now and crawl back to where you came from. Thank you.

omohayek:

Yes sir. I'll scurry back into whatever crevice I crawled out of, like the illiterate cockroach I am, sorry for disturbing you sir and you won't have to worry about my appearing in your "mentions" ever again.

Two people I see as intelligent fighting over nothing.

omohayek:

By God I'm so so dumb! As if anyone with a working brain and functioning eyes couldn't read the source of my stupid plagiarized attempt at a retort. I'll keep on revealing my low IQ for the entire world to see. It's the only thing I'm good at.

omohayek:

I'm shocked that you see anything intelligent in a clown who had nothing to offer to rebut my criticisms of Sowore other than verbal diarrhea laced with ad-hominems.

MrALIVE:
I disagree.true leadership and willingness to do the right thing is not measured by any government position you have occupied in the past..al of them who claim to be former this and former that have all failed woefully

emperormossad:


I see reasoning in what you say. But last week Saturday I listened to him on radio discuss about his ambitions. He insisted he does not want to run for governor or senate. He said those whose calling involve those positions should do that. He's got his eyes on the top job. I don't really know so much about him, use to read Sahara reporters back then though. But I'll run through his profile and ruminate.
We need to be seeing feasible but daring visions not rhetorics that don't lift a feather.
We need to see plans, not accusations. We got to be very careful. This is a very crucial point in our democracy.

Trump is new to politics and he's doing fine

IBBG:
you don't just wake one day and decide to run for president especially in country like nigeria. If that has been his ambition then he should have started contesting for political positions before now. All of this process moulds and develops you in the art of diplomacy. dare i say that if hand over the presidency to Sowore he will fail, because Nigeria is not like America that is highly sytematized such that even dummy at the helm of affairs will be made to look like a genius because of strong and functional system on ground. In country like nigeria with no system, you need political experince otherwise you will be roasted and made to look like a nincompoop by the political hawks and vultures. E.g GEJ and now PMB. To me Sowore is not ready to be our president. As an entrepreneur, i will rather entrust my company to a manager with track record of perfomance and prior experince than to a manager with no track and no track record. We can't blindly hand over the destiny of over 200 million people to somebody with no track record. In the business world that is suicicdal, how much more an entire country.
