In as much Sowore is not a saint, however he deserves some respect and treating him this way is VERY bad except those involved in that single actdon't know his history. Weather we like it or not he's one of the first persons that started this protests and has been fighting this Government for years.

I really feel bad watching that video. In whatever case I still respect him as a hero

Oga! This protest was actually inspired by #blackLivesMatter

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.

Go and watch videos, he was there for several days, not just yesterday. Common sense suggests that #Endsars alone is not enough. He probably thought it would end there. He was only trying to use the opportunity to do more with the same straw. But the people misjudged him. There might be other motives but I can't tell. Regardless, this is not enough reason to treat him this way.

If you are not with him and you do not know what is really going on, police has been restricting his movement and monitoring his movement making it difficult for him to move. Just look what they did to the Nollywood star by putting her under house arrest it is the same thing which is happening to him

If he was accepted to the rally, the focus would change and govt may use force which might lead to extra judicial killing and clamping down on posters with DSS or Army.

It was done to avoid any political undertone. He would use the platform to push for revolution which would actually come as the protest persist. You can see the government is finding it hard to pitch the protest to anyone. NO LEADER protest. That's the consensus and awesome strategy.

If Sowore is disgruntled, he should understand what the protest is all about and respect the views of the youth.


You are smart

Sowore deserved what he got...He accused some activists by saying they have made billions from the #Endsars protest which is completely untrue..His major pain is the fact that his #RevolutionNow protest flopped..If he was given any opportunity to tag along with this current protesters driven by one goal to make sure the police get reformed Sowore will Hijack it and turn it to his own personal agenda..Mind you sowore main issue with Buhari started from when he didn't get any appointment from Him..You haven't seen any body come out and say he is the leader of the EndSars movement and if sowore was given a chance he will stake a claim to being the founder and also boost his political ambition..

I also felt real bad by the way they pushed him out of the way.

They have a point that his presence would polarize the people and give way for Buhari Government to do what they have always wanted and will eventually do. Brutalized the crowd.

They did it to IPOB, OPC, MASSOB, Niger Delta any group. Not to mention massacres in the Odi Southsouth and Middle Belt.

All through these, one of the voices among the activists was Sowore. It is in his blood.

I was surprised when i saw that news that Abuja protesters turned Sowore away because he is politician. Very surprised.

In as much as we believe GEJ is better than Buhari, his government was flawed and corruption thrived so he believed Buhari who had somewhat of a record for no tolerance would be better but he was wrong and soon realized it like many others. He has since tried to right the wrong and believed the only person he could support was himself since he knows himself better than anyone else and he is confident he has what it takes to tackle the political elites in Nigeria. That is why he went into politics.

Many others have lost, with the way Nigeria was set up, there was absolutely no way he was going to win the last election. He didn't give up. How is he confused?

In all honesty, GEJ was no better. He may not have been corrupt personally or bigoted/tribalistic, but he let everything under the sun happen right under his nose. He is no better than Buhari. They are both useless just than one is more useless than the other. SARS/Military brutality started a long time ago and festered under him. He is no saint but at least life was better under him as compared to the individual sitting at the helm of affairs right now. Sowore knows better now. That's why he isn't supporting any other person to lead. He is the best guy for the job as far as i'm concerned.

Exactly, people who keep saying he brought in Buhari in 2015 do not want the growth of Nigeria. They're only unhappy their man failed an election and can't move on.

If they refused to vote for him in 2019 because he brought Buhari in why did they vote in millions for Atiku who was a major finance source of the APC during the 2015 elections?

If we are to go by their argument Banky W or YUl Edochie should not protest because they've both contested and failed elections as politicians.

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.

That doesn't mean he will be a great president.
Buhari just doesn't have passion for senseless wealth acquisition at the masses expense but was portrayed as incorruptible....now we know better .

I have an issue with the young generation and that is they are even more reckless with money than the older generation, how can an activist stay in a 100k per night suit for months running ?
I stopped liking Sowore I found out that he lives in a hotel suite ,what kind of lifestyle is he living and want his followers to emulate.....in revolutionary circles that is high treason.

Besides I personally think he is a CIA agent in Nigeria .....Sahara reporters was funded by some foundation and CIA shell companies. he is not the only one many of our politicians and so called activists are CIA agents.

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 .
