I don't hate him, I have no reason to.


He only looks confused and if he continues to jump from one side to the other he will not be trusted but seen as a serpent.

He should find his loyalty ground and get rooted to it.

Sowore's loyalty has never changed and will never change. He has put his life on the line multiple times since he was a student.

His loyalty lies with the Nigerian people and not any government.

That is why from Babangida, Abacha, OBJ, Yaradua, GEJ and now Buhari, he has fought against them for the Nigerians he is loyal to.

tinubu did the same against those former Presidents,where is he now?.....sowore should have remained an activist rather than contesting for presidency.

ask yourself what Aisha yesufu is doing right that sowore and oby Ezekwesili couldn't do ?

Aisha is doing well. May God protect and give her strength.

Oby and Sowore also did a lot of good and I pray for God to reward them too.

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.

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.

Fighting the government is not an achievement.
Mugabe and Oshiomole fought the government in their day.
How did they turn out?

You are not wrong. Democracy in Nigeria is growing. At this point Nigeria is the most democratic country in Africa.

The youth have reaffirmed that they are the strongest force to reckon with . To change the status quo our voices must not only be heard criticizing the state of things, our solutions must also do the change.

The protest has no direction because it lacks a leader. The fact is that those who started it did not listen to the voice of reason when we told them to come with a bigger and all encompassing title. They were only interested in fighting what looked like the nearest problem , which is myopic, but when they government granted their wish ,they then discovered that it was not their real problem and if they leave without getting their real problem solved, they wouldn't get another opportunity in years. That's why this protest goes on without a direction.

No one has the boldness to make the real demand the youths want. We have people beating around the bush and seeking validation.
That's the reason I wrote the open letter to the youths on my profile.


I am glad you can see the big picture, the youths are charged you and obviously the strongest force but with this method of approach they will become exactly like who they are fighting.

Watch movies like Hunger Games and divergent and you will see that when protesters take a place they become just like who they were fighting.

Power is strong, leadership is tough... They overwhelm people quickly, but there is always a right approach to winning without losing lives.


The youths are strong but are not ready for what they want to claim, why? Because they lack the understanding of Selflessness....



Who can be a selfless leader? It's a hard role to play.

I've read every single comment you've made on this thread and wouldn't take away your intelligence and objectivity which was well represented in every paragraph.

Nigerians do not really understand the concept of democracy. Most of the young adults flooding the streets this morning genuinely believe that they can change an elected government through violence or call the International community to make an elected president resign against his will.

Sowore did what a democratic activist would do. He his a political activist with an ideology. Nigerian , however, do not subscribe to ideologies except religious ideologies.

Disassociating from sowore is the perfect thing to do, if the movement must sustain its "credibility"
so far the govt have been quiet, buh what they need is an avenue to discredit the movement as one been sponsored or hijacked by the opposition, that is the premium antics govt av up there sleeves, we can't throw our struggle away just because of how sowore feels, of all people he should understand.
I think sowore as done is best, maybe its time he sits back and let the youth do the rest. anyone that has an affiliation with the opposition should just keep off.

F. this government. They are useless for all I care. However, their incompetence does not absolve GEJ for his gross wastage of our resources with little or nothing to show.

This is not about blame games but fact. GEJ was a disaster and had to go. Sowore was right fighting his corrupt regime. Sowore did not waste time to start a war against Buhari when he saw the gross mismanagement of the country.

Things looked better under GEJ because of the windfall of Crude oil funds.

Sowore deserves better because he put his life on the line to give us a better country.

Well in as much as I applaud his input in the struggle I have always seen him as a commendable comrade but right now his intentions as a politician cannot be trusted by d youths

If there is something we gained from this protest is the approach Folarin "Falz" Falana has given it.

Coming up the a 5 Plan Agenda and getting the Governor to present it to the president was a turning point.

If the protest maintains momentum until the agendas are achieved, we might carve out a route for better governance.

His letter for the President to constitute the Board of the National Human Right Commission is another sign of the same approach.

With a clear demand from the government and Mass action, we might have a return from this protest.

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.
My guy don't waste time on that nigga you quoted, he's just a pained GEJ apologist who will never forgive Sowore for his role in sending the Otuoke man out of Aso Rock.
Nigerians are stupid and forgetful people, if not, why would anyone be repackaging someone like Jonathan to contest in 2023.
For the records, this man GEJ deployed soldiers to the street in 2012 to quell the subsidy protests while the Buhari those hypocrites love to abuse has respected Nigerians right to protest, and this is the first time any President will allow the kind of protests we're witnesses today without deploying military.
The fact that Jonathan even diverted funds meant for arms purchase to equip our military for his re-election is enough reason for him to be tagged an enemy of the State because that's a crime against the people of Nigeria, but guess what, some unfortunate people call him the hero of democracy. Yet, you hardly hear people talk about that, they're rather concerned about what Tinubu does with his own money.
This country will never get better! You can take that to the bank!

Anybody who supported this government in 2015 is very much part of the problem that currently bedevils us.

There is no mincing words here.
and what are the problem that is with Nigeria now that other countries are not suffering same or even times 2. Until we realize that Buhari is not our problem then we can make headway. Italy and Brazil just entered recession in few weeks back and still see Buhari as the cause of a world problem. Majority of Nigeria supported Buhari to power and you can't say because you did not support him then you are the innocent. God is the one that established anyone to position of authorities.

there could have been a more subtle way of asking him to excuse them

Oshiomole didn't fight the government. He fought his opposition. He was always a snake and will forever be a snake. Sowore has been fighting since his university days. He has fought almost all regimes. He never picked any side and kept quiet when things weren't going well. He always spoke out. He has tried riling up the youths for a long, long time. We were just not ready until now. And the #EndSARS protest is a very commendable movement but that's not enough. They've dissolved SARS but people are still chanting #EndSARS. His movement would have been the best because it is/was vague enough to cover basically every issue. He should at least be respected for that. He should never be prevented from participating in anything. He has every right to protest just like every other citizen so pushing him is a No No.

What a bunch of crap. He chose the wrong side? Is there any sort thing as a wrong side? Your reasoning is quite pathetic and borderline shameful honestly. I wouldn't anyone reason him as the a potential president? Is he not a citizen with some accomplishment? Those leaders that you support so fervently, what have they done to advance this country? Under Jonathan, people were getting away with stealing billions of dollars. Money was going missing everywhere. The man couldn't keep his house in order. He lost control. If you want to keep that kind of president, then you need serious help. On the other hand there was Buhari who was notable for his discipline. It wasn't a bad decision to consider him then, despite the fact that it was glaring that he may not sophisiticated enough to handle the Nigeria of this time. Most people believed what we needed was someoene who could be ruthless with rooting out corruption. He was the only one at that time with that kind of reputation. When some of you guys talk about the fact that the level of suffering then wasn't as much, but you forget that when you keep taking money out of the coffers uncontrollably, during rainy days, you will definitely suffer. The government of jonathan played a major role in our suffering today. The clueless people in all their greed did not cosnider the fact that the Oil prices may take a disastrous nosedive. Perhaps if they had the best interest of nigerians at heart, they could have saved in anticipation of the fall of the price of Oil. Most Nigerians live in the moment. Chop i chop we say. As long as you give me 5k today, no Wahala, carry go. Do whatever you wan do. I repeat, i have never at anypoint thought Buhari could handle the current Nigeria, i mean with respect to facilitating the start up of industries e.t.c. But he was the most capable person to deal with corruption then ,something which has always been the problem. if he comes in an addresses that full on, and at least get the people to stop behaving like greedy animals, perhaps some other leader can do something else like changing our education system, encouraging the establishment of industries e,t,c. But he's failed in what was most expected of him. It may be impossible to find any leader that stands for everything needed to solve our problems, but we could get one that's most competent for one aspect at one time, then usher in another person most competent for something else at another time. What am i even saying self. Perhaps you don't even understand my point. The long and short of this is, it's nobody's fault that the most competent people are not vying for the highest government offices. So the rssult is you end up having to choose the better of two evils or the most competent specifically or generally, but that person could be an average leader if you look in more deeply. Perhaps some of the competent ones can come out and start participating. It will be ytough to displace those old greedy guards, but we'll keep pushing until they go back to where they belong-retirement homes. cheesy. Stop this Jonathan/Buhari argument. It's gone stale. I find it hard that a lot of Nigerians are stuck on this ussue. Sadly it reflects our mentality. Note i am only addressing the point oyu made about belonging to the wrong side.
Awol1:


My friend, no dey reason Sowore as president.

Just like Tinubu, Sowore will never be president of this country.

He chose the wrong side to fight and he will never be forgiven.

Go tell him that if u know him.
