They have a funny way of thinking.

They are attacking someone who is trying to help them, and praising those who oppress them.

And they wonder why progress is slow.

Eriokanmi:
he supported same govt in 2015 remember? He's a flip-flopper

Sarmiz24:

A United Youths is bigger than Ten Thousand of Sowore cuz the Government see us the Youth as Citizen voicing out but they see Sowore, Dino and the rest as opposition Party and that’s not the message we are conveying... we simply saying enof is enof, we are not advocating any politician simple

CzarChris:
Sowore and his use of Sahara Reporters to blackmail Nigerians into supporting this government from hell we have is more than enough reason for him to receive real good quality beating in the first place. In saner climes he would hid his head in shame, but what we have in this country is a group of shameless mofos.

zionmde:
Sowore is a politician who lost an election period!!!
politics should steer away from this protest
moreover d guy is confused.

Most of you are brainless. When does reporting election results become supporting one candidate over the other? I am sure you have no clue about what truly happened during the 2015 election.

Loandbehold:

whatever happened 2015 has since passed and he was not the determining factor for Buhari winning the election then. He is a good man with good intentions, let's not pretend like someone else is going to become president without becoming a politician. We will still elect a politician at the end of the day. The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know and he is no devil. He has a track record of doing the best to hold the government accountable. I'll take him anyday and anytime over anybody.

Awol1:


It hasn't passed o!

He will never be forgiven for helping enthrone Buhari.

Some publications by Sahara Reporters helped damage GEJ's reputation in the international community.

He's educated enough to know the history of Buhari. His nepotism, his bigotry and the fact that he's an illiterate.

Sowore should never have supported such a man over GEJ.

ethicallyright:


I just finished watching an AIT breakfast program where a professional talked about the Human Rights Commission. The Commission is an advisory Commission, it can only make recommendations which may or may not be enforced by the court. Now let's be honest, the court of law is way higher in the scheme of things than the National Human Rights Commission because the decisions of the human rights commission is subject to adjudication by the court.

Let me explain what I mean with an example. If the National Human Rights Commission constitutes a panel to free Ibrahim El-zakzaky , Shia Muslims leader, in Nigeria still under detention they can only give an advisory decision to the President or the DSS boss. If the President does not act on it, the parties can head to court to challenge the refusal of the president to accept the advisory decision from the NHRC.

Imagine that even the decisions of the court which are made binding by the Constitution did not make the DSS to release El-zakzaky , how then do you expect the "advisory decision" of a Commission setup by an executive order without the backing of the law to receive enforcement by the President?

What's happening now is that the protesters do not even know what their problem was. They thought it would be hard for the government to end SARS and after the Government did exactly what they asked for , they then realized that what they stated was not their biggest problem and started making new "mild" demands. The reshuffling of the NHRC is a mild demand and would change little or nothing.

The Government will yield to it and they will make another demand.

The real point of this protest is that the protesters are tired of this regime.

IamPlato:
Do you want a nation with or without religious segregation?

Is removing the hijab a sin?

Don't you know that something as little as Hijab can divide a country like Nigeria?

Are you not a Nigerian? Don't you know the beef going on between Christians and Muslims?


This is a simple thing. It's basic psychology

ethicallyright:
No one had seen terrorism in Nigeria pre Jonathan era so it was normal to think that he was a weak president. The Federal Capital Territory was bombed almost everyday. The Police Headquarters, United Nations building etc were all bombed. Boko Haram attacked Kano and other Northern States not even in the North East.

The soldiers were also complaining of inferior weapons and once they even claimed " tactical manoeuvre " when the Boko Haram fighters pursued them away from the Lake Chad. Chibok girls were kidnapped and even the United States were angry with Jonathan.

Sowore and every other person with the interest of Nigeria at heart could not change government through any other means apart from elections.

Everybody did not think about Buhari's economic policies while he was Head of State. They thought about his disciplined nature as even foreign observers have noted that his period as Head of State witnessed the least amount of crimes in Nigeria. He was successful with War against Indiscipline in 1984 and even the most stubborn people were afraid to exhibit simple bad behaviors like jumping queues.

A person with a military background to defeat terrorism and a history of discipline to quench the burning fire of corruption was the prerequisite for the next Nigerian President. Only Buhari fulfilled that qualification then and that was why he became President.

Sowore didn't support Buhari he supported change .

SeriouslySense:
Are the youths experienced in this, Sowore could be very useful, at one moment or another.

Do you think this government respects or regards your opinions as youth, and they will listen to you simply because no opposition is there, the government would look for another way to deceive you, Just like how you are looking for excuses to drive Sowore away, the Government will look for ways to deceive the protesters.

CodeTemplar:
Sowore has always been one to put govt on their toes and make them improve whatever they are doing.
Some bitter element saw those call for improvement as opposition to the seating govt and support for the main opposition.
It is sad how personal interest can totally erode the reasoning power of some section of the country. Sowore is a just a journalist with the zeal of a rebellious ex-student leader he is. He has also criticized Buhari as much as he did Jonathan but the pain of election lose won't allow so many people see that.

obailala:
What sort of religious intolerance is this? Are you not aware that Muslim women mandatorily have to cover themselves all the time in public? But you're asking if removing hijab is a sin.

Someone isnt blocking your way, someone isnt trampling on you, but you just feel uncomfortable with the person's presence because they wear a hijab? My brother this is the purest form of religious intolerance.

CodeTemplar:
You are not being honest here. Someone who sees me as inferior and one to be eliminated in order to attain peace must be closely watched. Hijab may look harmless but what happens when they duplicating elements of govt like the police(hisbah), the court and justice system(sharia), laws(Quran), encroachment of territories etc?

What happens when jihad hits full swing and I become less that a chicken in their eyes?

obailala:

What da hell are you all about? Aisha Yusuf is wearing her hijab for her self yet it's troubling and biting you like this? What did Aisha Yusuf do to you to warrant this sort of public prejudice against her solely because of her hijab?

I ask again, how did Aisha Yusuf wearing a hijab affect your life?

ethicallyright:


Exactly. Banky-w gave the new five demands ,he also contested in Lagos State and lost woefully. Even YUl Edochie also ran for Governor. Why are they angry with Sowore who has criticized successive regimes?

It goes beyond being a politician. It shows the youth still believe in "the leader that favours my selfish desire should not be criticized".

And what does she have on you to be defending her ? I have no personal issues with her but with her beliefs.

obailala:
I'm simply defending humanity, human rights, religious freedom and the reign of common sense. That's what democracy and even the #EndSARS campaign is all about.

Like seriously, did you just openly admit to disliking someone purely because of their religion? I hear this woman is even a Deltan (but probably just married to a Muslim husband), and you just hate her cos of her chosen religion? How do you sleep at night knowing you're no different from bokoharam ideologists?

Oga, I don't need to know her personally before I speak up against this sort of senseless bigotry and intolerance you've exhibited here... *spits*

Sleekfingers:
He is lucky they didnt shaped his face with slaps....yeye dey smell.....

He should stay clear from the protest....he contested and lost in the election....2023 is coming...he should wait till then......as far as i am concern he is a politician and should not be allow to participate in the protest.....the youth should remain focus .before people like sowore hijack the protest......

Loandbehold:
It's really disappointing to see how the protesters in Abuja treated Sowore. This guy has literally been fighting the government of Nigeria and has tried his best to stir the people to take matters into their hands and protest. He was even locked up for the cause.

He joined politics to try to fight them but yet some Nigerians are against him. They tagged him "just like every other politician". He's not like others. He went in there to fight them. Let's not lose sight of that. He might have made some errors just like everyone of us. But time and time again, he always stood by the people. He never turned on the people but now that he and several others have succeeded in waking the sleeping giant, the people are trying to turn against him.

In as much as you might have something against him, at least, show the man some respect. He has done enough to warrant it and he shouldn't be treated like that.

Sowore, "forgive them for they know not what they do," and don't loose faith in the people. We need you in this fight wether we like it or not. Keep up the good work and don't let this little hiccup deter you. There are a lot more people that support you and will continue to support you. Your service is appreciated.

Didn't Banky W and Yul Edochie also contest elections? The new five points were made by Banky W , why have you guys stood by it?

You hate Sowore because of his democratic role in the 2015 elections. Simple.
