Sirjamo:
Sowore did not call for a peaceful protest, he called for a revolution and even threatened that the DSS would be no more by the time he's through with his so called revolution, the video is still on YouTube, he originally posted it on his Twitter handle.

Freedom of speech guarantee that you can call for anything. It becomes a crime if you actually carry out any activity toward that. What's wrong in marching on the streets to protest? How does the person who has no arms, troops, and it's like carry out revolution. You think Sowore is that stupid and that he is not aware that most Nigerians are docile. This is own strategy to get in the psyche of Nigerians, though it's a tough call. Or it's also possible that Buhari and his fulani gang are propping up Sowore in order to use him without his knowledge to divide southwest votes in 2023 election. It really doesn't matter to northerners if it's PDP or APC that run the government. For them what matter is that it should be a northerner.

So this guy is trying to start another rush of Nigerian male youths to South Korea.

What type of threat do u say Nigeria poses to d US and UK?

I may say neo-colonialism using the example of France control of French-speaking African countries. I see France as been more of an immediate threat to Nigeria than UK or US. Sure, all are. Imagine that Nigeria is a smaller country in this Ecowas all-region, that indicates less trade and less economic power. For example, France to an extent are behind Boko Haram. And on the economic front, France controls IMF which is trying to destabilize Nigeria economically by advising Buhari to devalue Naira. Argentina listened to IMF, today they are crying as inflation is more than 50%. Problem is our leaders do not know how to "fight" or counter the West because they do not know how an average westerner reason. Buhari does not need to be brute against Nigerians to counter western propaganda. Firstly, fight that by running a transparent government that also respect law and order. If you can do that, then you have win the first battle against them, which is getting the commitment of your people. If that is done, no one will believe in any western sponsored propaganda. An example of that is the "story" that Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. Only brainless citizens would believe that. That propaganda was pushed after Buhari refused IMF and World Bank economic advise. But Buhari is not smart enough to know how to engage these dragons. Go and see Rwanda, though a smaller country the president has been there for quite a while now with opposition but he knows how to deal with the West. He already work on the hearts and mind of the people first.

CaptainMeks:
Nigeria as the largest black nation has a special interest placed on her by USA and UK. They see us as threats and need our media open and not regulated simply because they need an avenue to make use of when they want to cause anarchy and chaos through their usual propaganda.

Any country USA and UK want to destroy they begin doing so via sponsored press propaganda. and this is fact

Leave that propaganda story. We already know that. We are the source of our failures. Public officials that steal or who does not respect the law. Was it America or USA that forced Buhari not to respect court orders or they forced our politicians to steal our common wealth? When we the people play our role as citizens and our public officials play theirs then the Western countries wouldn't succeed against us in their numerous machinations. First, we have to sort ourselves out. Currently, Buhari and people like him (this society's Idiots and Tribalists) our main problem. First he need to respect the law, curb Fulani killings, stop corruption and nepotism. Don't pile all the blame on the West. Or are they within our borders running Nigeria?

grandstar:
My statements weren't final. My main point was that a split will create more problems than it solves. It might leave some parts poor and others rich.

The best bet is to give states greater autonomy over their affairs or split the country into 6 zones and each zone greater autonomy.

Regionalism as practised in the 60s is the answer. Each region has more than enough resources to prosper. Those who choose to remain poor would do so by choice because of the following:
-Religious fanaticism
-Lack of public transparency
-Lack of rule of law
-Corruption
-Terrorism and insecurity
-Large scale illiteracy

And a society will fail if there are exceedingly more Idiots and Tribalists than the Ideal Citizens among the respective population. We already have an idea of the region(s) that may fail or remain poor if regionalism is implemented. See this video to understand why societies fail.

Hmmm

We pray one day Nigeria will get it right and be great again.

"Great Again"? Please tell me which decade, century or period that Nigeria was ever great in human memory. Nigeria was only coined in the early 20th century and became independent almost 60yrs ago. Which of your parent or elders in your family lied to you. The past may seem glorious because its nostalgic and life was simple. Things were tough as well.

0monnak0da:
Foolish talk,
If the source of the wealth is known then there is no problem.
Obama and his wife's financial affairs and tax returns are in the public domain.
Not all that talk of Tinubu was rich or Orji Kalu was rich before being elected with no evidence
It is for the same reason Trump is getting stick for non disclosure

If YOU have esteem problems do not project that unto ALL Africans

I tire for these brainless Nigerians shouting self-hate when we all know that most of our public officials are crooks. I should ask them where are the good roads, electricity, rail network, hospitals, clean water supply, if not in the "tummy" of the people Omoyele Sowore referred to as gluttons. Their greed can never be satisfied.

SirAce:
Nigerians Una be hypocrite sha, If it was Goodluck or OBJ that did this, Una go scream Corruption Country wey people hate themselves especially here on nairaland

Stupid statement. We all know that most if not all our public officials are corrupt. From the head to the bottom. Go to the USA and buy a new car with cash without a proof of source of your income (e g. tax filing and others), you will be on your way to prison. Let us assume the Obama buy this house without an evidence that they earn the income legitimately, they will surely be investigated. At least one if not both couples was possibly earning 6-figure salary before Obama became a politician. Obama wrote couple of books that fetched him millions of dollars, he is continously invited to give public speeches where he earn $400,000 per each public speaking. One can get tax filing of Obama which will show how much he has been earning over the years. Go ask the FIRS OBJ or Jonathan tax record. Only a crooked president will hide his tax record in the USA, as currently been done by Trump. Its hopeless public officials that steal. Just imagine the level of contact a president, senate president, governor, minister, commissioner would have amassed in 4-years. Its only lazy, hopeless, brainless, and wicked senior public officials that steals from the people common wealth.

Obama is among the top 10 earning public speaker according to the story in this link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thestreet.com/.amp/investing/highest-paid-public-speakers-14315669

I thought sahara reporter's are USA based

They already have an office in Nigeria that employee many Nigerians.

According the ancient Greeks, founder of democracy, and modern day sociologists, there are always three groups of people in a given society. These are:
1. The Idiots (greedy, self-centered, barbarian).
2. The Tribalists (narrow-minded, violent).
3. The Citizens (the ideal individual).

It's obvious where Buhari belong.

This video highlight this issue.

Look at these three groups and put Buhari and any of the past and present leaders in one or two of the groups. Then tell me if a society that consist of people of these type can create an orderly, just, and thriving society. You can put Sowore in any of the group as well.

Human right ko, human rights ni. Where is the human rights when he was planning for revolution. Abi UK and US can ever allowed such things.

The guy got it wrong the when he said he never cares about what any judges says. So why disturbing us about this.
Sowore bridges the rule of law and let the law serves him well.

quote me with senses.

You folks don't have a clue. The America you refereed to has lot more armed militant groups than any other country, and are calling for the dissolution of America. Go online and do a search. All the government does is monitor them. Go enlighten yourself.

I just hope Ndigbo and indeed the Old Eastern Nigeria, stay out of the fight between two lovers.

They will sort themselves out. Punch is the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob. Tinubu is simply speaking through The Punch. The Ruling Regime are aware.

Others should stay clear while they sort themselves out.

Deep! Long chewing required for better digestion. Well ...

Note that the first paragraph with highlighted bold text was quoted as part of another comment I was trying to challenge

festacman:
In as much as vigilance and ventilation are needed to keep our democracy alive, the simple truth is that the real situation is very far from the picture Punch Newspaper is painting. There is freedom of speech in Nigeria and on daily basis tens of anti-government and extremely anti-Buhari articles get published in both print and online media. If there wasn't, staunch critics like Femi Fani Kayode with all his misleading, mischievous and insulting posts would have been in jail.

Unfortunately, DSS personnel got carried away in their bid to tame the defiant Yele Sowore that they tactlessly played into his original intention of making himself a hero of democracy by that act of gangsterism in court premises. Now, the enemies of government including displaced and embittered PDP moneybags have subtly moved into action to discredit Buhari's administration in both local and international media. To counter this dangerous development, I think government should reach out to critical civil society stakeholders to restate its commitments to democratic principles.

However, one thing is certain, because Buhari's presidency is very NECESSARY for the INEVITABLE disruptions of the existing political and economic orders [/b]that will make way for new orders, it will survive this onslaught like the ones that came in the past.

Change that existing political and economic disorder. There is no word like order in the lives of Nigerians based in Nigeria, from the topmost public officials to the common man on the street. In fact, what's going on in Nigeria is a battle between god of order and the god of chaos. Most Nigerians are worshippers of god of chaos without knowing. Others do it knowingly. Until the god of order wins this battle, there will no progress in Nigeria. Do Nigerians even know or appreciate the fact that the God they falsely claim they worship has an attribute of Order. Our people can't just be acting like a mass of captured electron exposed to heat. That's pure madness.

Sociologists and the ancient Greeks, source of modern day democracy, classified people in a given society into three groups.
1. The Idiots (selfish, greedy)
2. The Tribalists (narrow-minded, violent).
3. The Citizens (the ideal person)

Watch this video and identify the group you belong to. And where people like Buhari, Tinubu, Sowore, Nnamdi Kanu, Ojukwu, Obasanjo, Awolowo, and others past leaders belong to. Now you will understand why Nigeria is messed up.

Debaiz:
Falana the theater commander of the Sowore drama group.

Sahara reporters tells a lie per day since Sowore was arrested. They’ve been talking about it every single day. Is Sahara reporters a wrestling organization?

Dude has done more than 3 tv interviews, countless paper interviews and letters since the Sowore case started but he’s here accusing the FG of media trial.

Bloody lying hypocrite.

Have you collected your new N30k minimum wage, Mr Internet Warrior. I pity the fingers you are using to type that nonsense.

couragemurphy:
Also Falana should stop engaging in media defence and call for public sympathy. It's quite unfortunate that Sowore worked his way into this mess. For me I think he is selfish for not considering the implications on his wife, children, mother and ........

You better face your own family. The woman that married already know who she got married to and is ready to bear the cross. Stop been an hypocrite.

Russia nuclear disaster secrets. Here are few of the so many nuclear radiation children all born with defects. So many kids are born with bald heads with no hair. I had a friend from Poland who said he had a bald head from a young age. He claim it's due to exposure to pollutants.

planetx:
Solar energy can never supply enough electricity for Nigerias massive population, neither building new hydro power plants. It is either nuclear or keep relying on generators.

Mr Expert, read about this massive solar energy project in Morocco. Don't we have areas in the north close to the desert with endless daily sunlight. Sowore was even talking about this during last election campaign. We are dealing with brain-dead public officials.
https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/08/africa/ouarzazate-morocco-solar-plant/index.html

Reference:
Those types of reactors are no longer in operation. Those were 40's and 50's type designs which require multiple layers of cooling and few redundancies. Modern reactors don't have such issues. Moreover the problems of Fukushima related to the location (close to the ocean) and technical failures in the design of back-up power systems which were placed below sea level.

How do you know Russians are not bringing old obsolete technologies they can't use by themselves. You all don't know what this is all about.

Nigeria public officials are a joke. They do not have a clue what a nuclear power plant mean. I know the clamour for this has been going on for some time without serious environmental impact assessment, not to talk about public consultation for siting the plants. They think this is petroleum where spills can be tolerated. Studies have to be done to the point of knowing if the subsoil in the sites has microorganisms that can transform radioactive metals like uranium, etc. There are entire cities in Russia now that are completely "dead" with no human living there because of exposure to radiation due to nuclear disaster. People that cannot monitor ordinary oil companies want to monitor nuclear plants by potentially crooked Russians. This is not funny at all. We should all start what's called "Not in my backyard campaign (NIMBY).

Myhusband:
funny


when did Garba shehu join standup comedy?



Sowore play in the gallery of the incumbent as Tai Solarin did in those days


activism and politics are two things that can't stand the test of time. Femi Falana lost part of his activism values with his attempt to contest in ekiti state then



let people know where you stand and hey I won't line up behind any activist that have two citizenship like KANU and Sowore, even Ojukwu flown his family out of the country with him during the civil war and innocent and helpless followers starved and perished


I hope Sowore get help and sign undertaken not to exercise anything related revolution again

Olodo! You surely will be surprised that he deliberately refused to apply to be a US citizen because of his commitment to Nigeria. He only has a green card because he is married to a US citizen. As it stand, he would be losing his green card status by early February 2020 because rule of green card is you cannot stay outside the US continuously for 6-months. He can regain green card status by applying for a re-entry permit. So, get your facts right and don't deliberately misinform people because you want to discredit an individual.

And you even mention the Greate Tai Solarin. You are just an ingrate.

Conceptman:
The word revolution was used before the present government took over from GEJ and no one was brutalized nor taken to custody, the only problem they have with Sowore is because of his boldness and confidence which will attract more Nigerians to speak out against the massive failure going on presently, if truely they want the best for Nigerians let the government release Sowore and do what is right, bring electricity, reduce the price of food and commodities ,create better health and jobs then watch the masses asking for your 3rd term

Exactly, they fear his boldness and courage because most Nigerians are lettings a lot of wrongs go by. They have used poverty to cow people. So, having someone that does not give a damn about them or arrest scare them silly.
