Read the caption properly. More accurately, read the CAPTIONS properly. The first one is describing the photo above while the second one describes a photo on the opposite page which is not shown in this picture.

Yes hes not the one on this Picture but as described in the above page, hes a survivor of Turture

LeoThaGreat:
Every comment here from the OP down to the comment above mine failed to point out it wasn't Sowore in the picture getting beat up by the policemen.

Do you people filter information at all?

The picture says:

ABOVE: ...

OPPOSITE PAGE: this is where Sowore is.

C'mon y'all !!!

Yeah he isn't, the the same page is saying Sowore is a Survivor of Turture

isthatso:


what makes you think I voted for Buhari? Your hatred is consuming your ability to think. This is not about Buhari but about a man sacrificing himself for a better Nigeria and moronic youths behaving like retards, more importantly it's about your future. Somebody mentioned fela and Gani. The truth is Sowore is fighting a lost cause because the country is full of people like you.

Buhari was right on 1 thing when he said our youths are lazy!!! .....mentally lazy!!!

if you are not ready to go out and fight and someone is willing to the very least you can do is support him.

A country of morons is GUARANTEED to always produce bad leaders!!!


mor0n: noun
Informal. a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment:

fvck you and fvck sowore.

serikigoro:


You are making no sense sir! You warned us about Buhari! so ? we should have stuck to A failed Jonathan right for the fear of Buhari failing? where is the sense in that? I respect people like Sowere a million times more than people like you. Jonathan was no good. We tried him already for 6 and a half years. Our only viable challenger was Buhari and APC then ,we went for him. Buhari turns out to be no good too, we agree and dumped support for him. How are we not better than you who's only concern is that your incompetent Jonathan was flushed out of power?

you just dont get it. you never will. so you actually thought the North removed GEJ because of corruption? seriously? go and remove Buhari na or whoever he decides that would be president pls i dont have power for this

the people who made you a goat are dead so you live and die as a goat, idiot

meccuno:
So after the beatings to the head,he didn't have enough sense to know that Buhari is not more intelligent than an owl. He should remain in detention abeg !

he might be our president one day!

OruExpress:
and once he became successful, he used his success to promote and hoist Buhari, a brutal military dictator, onto the people because 'his brother' would be vice president. He spend countless days attacking the enemies of Buhari, and stoking anti-Igbo sentiments with articles and insults. He even dedicated his last months of freedom to trying to demean Nnamdi Kanu who is fighting the same cause as him. And when he went to prison, the only person that supported him was this same Nnamdi Kanu.

He's on record saying Goodluck Jonathan is 'the worst Nigerian president ever' while knowing it's not true. If not for the unprecedented level of professionalism, transparency, and press freedom under Jonathan, he would still be a nobody because nobody benefited more from it than Sahara Reporters and Sowore.

It was sad to see Sahara Reports become an agency for protecting and promoting the destruction, ethnic witch hunting and oppression of Nigerian people because of ethnic sentiment. All of the current attempts to sanctify him only make me remember his efforts to sanctify Buhari.

@the bolded
i see and hear people say this day in day out " buhari is the worst president ever"
yet
years ago sowore has used the same expression
so whenever i see buhari opponents say this, i just laugh and think in my mind, same thing has been said about past presidents
so idontbeleveit
just like you Op accusing sowore of lieing against GEJ, all those saying Buhari is the worst president know they are lieing

Go back and read the inscription again, this time carefully. Then come back your to your assertion again.
You'd know if your inference negates the fact that he was tortured.

TmKonzept:
Below is the trending picture of seasoned human right activist and Publisher of Saharareporters, who is also the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the Nigeria 2019 General Election, Omoyele Sowore who has been held in detention since 50 days ago and recently charged for what is described laughable by pundits and CSOs. The picture which emerged from a page of an old Amnesty International Publication shows Sowore being beaten by men of the Nigeria Police force during a protest against Abacha’s junta.

He was the same person that stood behind Jonathan (becoming President after the concealed death of Yar A Dua) via his Sahara reporters platform when Jonathan was almost crushed by the 'cabal' of that time.
Pls always add this part of the story. Leave sentiments. He thought Buhari was going to bring change but turned out to be a farce. He is now against Buhari. So what do you want him to do?

This 'myopic' handling of this guy's issue will lead to the end of this vindictive and beguiled government!

Buhari is the dumbest president ever. Surprised even so called educated people find it difficult to grasp just because of political crumbs.

My dear it's very shamefull

haaryobhami:
history would remember him for all what he has done for Nigeria democracy.he was injected with lead poison during abacha tenure ND left to die but still survived.
men like sowore are real heroes

...were you there,when they injected him...abi na you Abacha send go inject am...? Just asking...oooo

Don't be decieved,read the caption on the paper...
"Opposite,the survivor....." so the person being beaten is not Sowore...

Agidi guy from ondo

TEYA:

When will you guy get tired of being stupid? Sowore criticised Babangida, Abacha, criticised the cabal that lied to us about yaradua's health. He criticised GEJ for his incompetence (and yes, he was an incompetent drunkard) and today criticised Buhari for being dumb. He is not the type of guy that will keep quiet to incompetence just because he once supported you. You guys are simply annoying. There is no difference between you GEJ die hard supporters and Buhari's zombies. All of you are mad! It is your madness that these corrupt leaders survive on.

You haven't learned your lesson yet.

NiRfreak:


You are a monumental fool actually. Even though u don't know.
The whole world was against Jonathan...The U.S, Britain, France, PDP caucus, Ameachi, the whole of the masses even his hometown governor in Bayelsa, because he really messed up in an unforgivable manner...Why crucifying Sowore for what everyone did?
All you amnesic fools and fowls saying Sowore foisted Buhari, he dint, he only investigated the deep corruption in Jonathan's regime and spill it to the world as a true journalist, APC only took advantage of the information.
But foolish idiotic tribal goat like you all will be happy over a man who has stood for justice all his life...who was bold to face all tyrants and clueless leaders of our time.
It shall not be well with you all.....You shall die in your abject suffering cos Sowore is already made, a U.S citizens for that matter who is just here to better your life..but u all reject him cos of us idiotic ethnic sentiment that will end in suffering.. ko ni da fun gbogbo yin...eyin oloshi wonyi.

Because in 2016 the Nigerian oil companies were up for audit, and Jonathan + Diezani were going to carry out the audit unlike previous administrations. Foreign oil companies report to Nigeria how much they drill and thus how much they will be taxed and are not investigated. Shell makes 80% of it's money from Nigeria and provides the Neatherlands with 80% of the dutch government revenue. This will hopefully help you put it in perspective how much unreported money is being stolen from Nigeria.

As we now know, the 2016 audit didn't happen because GEJ lost. When you say things like 'the world was against...' You sound ignorant as to how 'the world' works.
