You don't get it bro

It's not about what he does but how he does it Those are subtle signs

You don't need to be a psychologist to see all these subtle signs. Listen to people's body languages, and you'll hear what they're not verbally saying

That young man basically has no control once he loses it. It was clear in that video with that minister
That is the way a thug's mind works


Bro, humans are not robots, their personalities influence every single move they make

He should remain an activist, not a politician That young man's temperament is in the class of those who will throw words at world leaders at the slightest provocation

His ideas are great(and I subscribe to them), but he should stay in the background as an adviser or activist. His temperament is not for what he's gunning for He's toxic and thuggish

No he will not stay in the background and watch “saints” finish this country completely. For 58 years non toxic people have been leading us, how far did we get. If you subscribe to ones idea I don’t know what else you need bro.

Nigerians in Nigeria are not serious. You expect people from New York to come to vote with the mess that is going on in this country? That's the best they can do for you ungrateful people. What happened in Oshodi yesterday is just an example of what this country has turned into. And here, you have someone who's ready to put his life on the line and take you out of the mess. But you're busy shouting 4+4/Next Level and Atikulated for people who put this country into the mess she is right now.

#Sowore2019

Abegi, give the sanctimonious condescension a rest.

Many of those Nigerians in New York (including Mr. Sowore) were beneficiaries of cheap/subsidized/free education in Nigeria (let Nigerian-educated medical doctors ask their US counterparts how much educational loan debt most of them accrue by graduation). Caring about Nigeria (or in some way giving back) is not a favor. The condition and future of Nigeria is the culmination of the collective actions (by commission or omission) of ALL Nigerians whether at home and abroad. When a relatively poor country like Nigeria (and yes, despite the oil, it is a substantially poor country) makes relatively significant investments in human capital development (and yes, it needs to make a whole lot more but that’s another topic), only to experience the massive flight of such capital (aka brain drain) on the back of globalization, what is left behind is (to use your own words) “the mess that is going on in this country”. We ALL made Nigeria and it will likely require us ALL to salvage it.

Bro, forget about the university stuff At the age of 17, I was admitted into a top university (not college or even private) in USA, in less than 4 days of applying, to study aeronautical engineering So getting admitted in USA is not a big deal, just have good grades and write a good essay


It has absolutely nothing to do with school but the personality in question Forget about what he says and look at how he thinks and behaves. Look at his body language and the way he says what he says

Those are all pointers to underlying issues

Not saying being admitted to any university in the US is a big deal..... but in context.... Harvard and Columbia are by far.....cream of the crop when it comes to making connections to draw expertise in establishing and running a government. Re. Obama.

On the second point...yes...I do agree that degrees etc cannot change a person's character.... but let's not look at his presentation... but really consider if he can move us forward period...take us out of this rut that neither of the two parties is unable or unwilling to do. We really need a change but....with soooo many zombies?!

You miss it again

When it comes to leadership, it's not about idea as it's about personality There are 10 year olds with better ideas but they cannot lead because they do not have the personality of a leader

There's what's called square peg in round hole That's what that guy wants to become

Toxic people are not bad people, so using the word "saint' is out of place They simply overreact to things because of their natural lack of ability to control the toxic part of them

Government has a human face . I definitely can't do business in a country with a toxic leader That's why people avoid certain countries

Lol....but why thuggush?....couldn't you say he is passionate?....are you trying to say if he becomes President and attends the UN General Assembly... it is possible he may not like what the speaker is saying..... jump up and shout him down?...then maybe grab his water bottle and hurl it at him?... followed by a chair attack?
....but I get your drift.... indeed...it is better for some to be in the shadows rather than under the spotlight.

The is first time I’m hearing about him being toxic and all.
But anyways Nigerians are not asking for much, just basic amenities and for 58 years apc and pdp have failed to deliver. Enough is enough ..my family and I want change so our vote is for Sowore with the fresh ideas, I suggest u do the same too.

What u call toxic we call passion.

We need a change, but not this guy

This guy is far from it . When people tell me they want to go into politics, I simply check how they react to things, not their ideas

Ideas are mainly from advisers and activists, not politicians . A politician or leader is simply someone with the personality of a leader to carry people along (That guy can't carry anyone along, he's too toxic for that) An adviser is a think tank, while the politician is the face of government . That's why politicians in office have advisers on their payroll

In summary, he cannot represent Nigeria

I like your imagination

I wish every Nigerian can imagine things that vividly

That's the guy's personality. He should be in the shadows. He would be more effective there

Up AAC SOWORE, I DONT BLAME NIGERIANS FOR THEIR IN ABILITY TO SEE THE BEST CANDIDATE

We need a change, but not this guy

So we really need a change of advisers etc..... not Buhari...because Buhari fits the type of guy you are describing....cool and calm.... soft spoken... wonderful body language.... a good listener...nothing rift raft about him...he will work fine for you in that position...but his advisers need to go. Did I get it right?

A leader is also a human being with sentiments and world views. No matter the advice you're given, your world views and sentiments will act as a filter for the advice. In fact, world view affects every decision a person, including a leader, takes

Buhari's world views is maligned . He's not an option

Your brother is a terrorist, and you're stuck between taking him down and upholding what you stand for . No matter the advice you're given, your world views and sentiments have the final say at that point

It's quite unfortunate that you poured out insult at me, without understanding that everything I said was a joke.

First, I wasn't the first person in Nairaland history to have made FTC. Thus, everyone knows my claims weren't true, but a mere joke.

Secondly, I don't live in Nigeria and I'm least affected by whoever emerges as president of the country.

Ironically, I have been a strong admirer of Omoyele Sowore after I watched the presentations he made at the University of Kent, UK.

Don't be so stupid to reply to comments that doesn't concern you; comments that you have little or no idea about the intentions of the writer.

Some of us visit Nairaland because of the hilarious comments and nothing more. It's our duty to continue the tradition!

Would you say Trump has sentiments?...and of course he has world view... even Hitler had world view... and so does Buhari...each his own... but is it good for the citizens?

Hmmmm...my brother.... how you figure? Bro... I am non aligned.... free thinker... call a spade a spade... not biased by religion, tribe, status, location nor nationality...why you trying to put me in a box?!

Again let me point out that you are just stupid

Hence I take sympathy one you degraded mental Condition and choose not to insult you

Knowing fully well that you are too stupid to comprehend when you are dismissed and insulted

He must be included.
President Sowore 2019

SouthWestBlood:


And you had no one to tell you that John Momoh is the chairman? Has he come out to debunk what is being said that he personally was the one that excluded Sowore?

I hate to delve into needless argument. If you are familiar with what's called corporate governance, then you should know that corporate decisions are always taken by members of the board (in BON's case, the governing council/committee I think). Say for instance, if First Bank decides to charge you 2,000 for atm replacement, do you go around shouting that Mrs. Awosika (Chairman, First Bank) collected 2,000 from you?

BON is made up of more than 250 member stations, each section having a representative within the governing council. How then can you boldly say that one man singlehandedly picked the candidates for the debate, bearing in mind that the debate was organized with NEDG (which comprises Civil Society Organizations etc)?

Rise above your sentiments and deal with issues dispassionately.

Lolz.
Sowore is that debater.
I was marvelled when I listened to his speech at the "Village meeting" in OAU, last year. He touched every topic in that marvelous light. .. I don't even know how best to qualify his skill at this.

I won't be surprised if the big contenders were scared and decided to excluded him. Cos Sowore will leave them scratching their heads.

However, a protest in New York for a Nigerian thingy is rather inanimate. Bring it home

Yes. why will a sane country have those large number? Same treatment should be given to all candidates to make it fair, else they should have a max number of candidate.

They can also arrange in session...
