It's rightly said that a leopard cannot change its spots... Buhari till Buhari dies. Goodluck Jonathan was insulted, hounded, harassed and even intimidated but no journalist was arrested or even refused bail under his regime People like Sowore and Ibadan media outfit were flexing their 392 Likes 31 Shares |

Buhari is running a strange type of voodoo govt. A reincaneted "Idi Amin" on the Nigerian throne, but God is greater. 241 Likes 10 Shares |

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari likes to call himself a “converted democrat.” At least that’s what he said during his 2015 presidential run, when he was attempting to re-brand himself as a reformer after a long career built on repression.Full blown tyranny in full swing.1983-85 repeating itself all over.A leopard never changes its skin.People were warned but parochial sentiments beclouded their sound sense of judgement. 218 Likes 17 Shares |

They didn't condemn the Saudis for killing Saudi critic Jamal Khassogi and dissolving his body in acid before pouring it down the drains in their embassy in Turkey. They didn't condemn the witchhunt of journalist Julian Assange for exposing the evil deeds of the American military. They didn't condemn the witch hunt of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning etc. 36 Likes 7 Shares |

Eteka1: We should eschew the spirit of whataboutism. Buhari and the APC government should release Sowore and free the guy. This is how Nigeria political class operate: For a citizen to successfully criticize or demand anything from the governemnt the opposition must be in support for it to yield fruit. The Tinubus et.al left Sowore to his fate because they know it will affect their so called APC government. If Sowore had carried out the revolution protest before the 2019 election, he would have had the massive support of the PDP who will try to use that as a politics to attack the FG. Since Sowore did it after the election, he lost the compassion of both friends and enemies alike. Tinubu, Osinbajo and the SW caucus should just intercede to free this guy coz "Omo eni ko ni buru titi, ka le fun ekun paje" 86 Likes 10 Shares |

Looking at Sowore's antecedents, I know Sowore means well. The points he raised for the revolution bears witness to this. Still he made some great blunders. 1. He should not have rushed the plan of a revolution. The only planned revolution that could have changed things would be not less than a million man strong. Not some few youths easily dispersed by rubber bullets and tear gas. 2. He should not have contested for any political office. He didn't realize that you can't be a politician and also an activist trying to change the political terrain. 3. He should NEVER have met or associated with Nnamdi Kanu, the known fugitive and rabble rouser. Those were Sowore's blunders. Also, it's difficult to fight for Nigerians. They will insult you and persecute you. They have fallen in love with their tormentors. Fighting their tormentors is like fighting them. Just leave them in peace to soak garri with their pains and sufferings. 72 Likes 7 Shares |

ovadozes: You guys are just one-track minded. Once something is planted in your minds, even if its falsehood, it can never be uprooted again. You'll just keep repeating it like a mantra, when it makes sense and when it doesn't. Go and find out. Has there ever been any government starting from 1999 till date that Sahara Reporters has not lambasted for failing the people? Was it Sowore that voted Buhari in in 2015? Why do you keep repeating the same worn out story anyway? Can't you do the deductions yourself? 54 Likes 8 Shares |

Chibuzoc: If you read my earlier comments, you will realize that I'm not against secession. I'm not against Igbos having their republic. No group should be forced into a union they don't want to be in. The only reason I oppose Kanu's agitation is his call for violence and his hate speech against the Yorubas. That I won't stand for. That was when I lost a little regard for Sowore. You don't consort with an animal that has sworn to kill your people. You don't meet and eat with a fo.ol that spews hatred against your people every chance he got. That's not done. Other than that, if I had the power I'd give Igbos their Biafra yesterday. 19 Likes 1 Share |

There is no justification for the continued detention of Omoyele Sowore. The DSS should immediately release him and let’s avoid this unnecessary international embarrassment. 11 Likes |

FrLukas:That Sowore and his Sahara reporters as well as every other newspaper of Lagos Ibadan axis played a very significant role in the enthronement of this govt is a fact and a fact is a fact even if it starts sounding like a cliché to you, people like me will continue to sound it so that history does not repeat itself, like my people say he who fetched an ant infested firewood should not complain when the lizard visits.
