LMAO, reading through the comments here you can see the level of hypocrisy from the usual online warriors.
Just imagine if this story had been about Buhari or Tinubu, just imagine the level of vitriol and condemnation these brainwashed online warriors will be spewing regardless of whether the story is true or not.

Just read through the excuses they are giving in supporting their Governor. If this had happened in the North or SW that's when they will remember, dictatorship, rule of law, God fatherisim, election rigging, imposing etc. But now, it's to just blame to woman for exposing the sad state of affairs in their land.

#HYPOCRITES

Azmanaty:
Jesus!

80m just for one lawmaker?? Multiply it by the number of lawmakers we have across Nigeria, both federal, states and LGAs and over these years..

These guys are sorely bleeding and ripping off this country.

magicminister:
Got no respect for this woman but I am sane to recognize greatness when I see one. This woman is one of the very few politicians that were selected by her own people without any rigging or external influence. She’s loved and admired by her people and I respect her for that.

It’s her constitutional right to get paid.
It’s only in Nigeria and other backward countries that you will have such abuse of power without the judiciary checking it. Stand strong

GeoAfrikana:
Lalasticlala, other side of the story.

Emotions and sentiments apart;

First, sincerely when I watched the video yesterday I was confused. I didn't see any persona that looked like a DSS officer. I've once had an 'encounter' with DSS officers.
They escorted the corpse of a federal icon from Abuja to our village for burial. They arrived early in the night, witnessed the burial, shot guns in the air and drove off.

It was an intimidating experience. They were so organised and gallant. Their men were heavily built and their guns were sophisticated. No one in that video is similar to the typical DSS officer in my imagination.

Secondly, the word REVOLUTION that Sowore used is enough crime against him. I'm almost certain that if someone tried a tenth of such in the US he would be corpse in less than a month. Or at least be undead in Guantanamo.

Note: I'm opened to objective counter-arguments. If you rationally, objectively and politely debate my points then I'll listen to you. I'm willing to engage in intellectual debates.

But if all you have is insults and curses then expect no response from me.

Thanks for reading.

He said such an aberration had never taken place in Nigeria’s history even under a full blown military rule and vowed to challenge the violation of the court.

He said: “Even under full military dictatorship, you will be allowed to drive out of the court premises and then be arrested on the street but not in the web of the court, it has never happened before.

“The court was in session and was forced to rise. The judge had to rise because they were threatening to shoot. The judge had to withdraw because they were threatening to shoot, and asked lawyers to take a date for their cases.”

VIPERVENOM:
Sentiments aside. When did DSS operatives start wearing suit? And again from the video it was falana that drove sowore out of court and DSS followed them (even SR confirmed it) meaning he was arrested somewhere else. So DSS are right. He wasn't arrested IN COURT. Emphasis IN COURT

NGpatriot:
I'm 100% sure that order did not come from the president, this is some overzealous DSS officials doing their own thing and they must be sanctioned.

PMB rightfully by nature and policy doesn't like to interfere, but his underlings oversteps because of the president's hands off approach which at the end of the day creates bad publicity and unnecessary distractions that the president doesn't need.

This incident can not go unchallenged or dealt with.

ejimatic:
As Sowore was coming out if the court he noticed the DSS men were waiting OUTSIDE the court to arrest him again.He ran back to the court shouting ..they want to rearrest me...The DSS men followed him back to the court to yake him out of the premises and ordered his arrest.At this time the sitting on his case had ended....As the tussle continued Falana said he would take him to the DSS office to answer questions there.At the DSS office Sowore was detained again. NOTE 1 DSS can arrest anybody anywhere even in church or mosque as long as you dont have immunity. 2. The hearing of the day had completed before the matter came up.3 A criminal can be rearrested even if he is released by a court.... There is a difference between Discharge and Discharge and Acquit... 4No order against his rearest..5 The resistance of arrest by Sowore led to the crisis in court... Even if it is wrong you dont resist arrest....Late Fahwehim was remanded several times in Nigeria He never resisted arrest.In fact he had a remand bag in his house containing all his toiletry and so on which he would use in the remand. Finally in order to avert recurrence of the drama as an activist Sowore should willingly follow DSS each time the agency wants to arrest him...That is the beauty of an activist...An activist should not be running away from arrest or shouting or making noise about it....

“The court was in session and was forced to rise. The judge had to rise because they were threatening to shoot. The judge had to withdraw because they were threatening to shoot, and asked lawyers to take a date for their cases.”

[s]Where was Wole Soyinka when Nnamdi Kanu's bail was ignored, where was he when Nnamdi Kanu's family house was being desecrated by the military?

Why is Soyinka even complaining against a government whose emergence he actively worked for?
The chicken has come home to roost and they've begun whipping up empathy.

I refuse to buy in and it is simple.
I won't weep for you when your house is on fire if you didn't weep for me when mine was.

No way,

Sowore should pay the price for inciting a revolution against the government of the day out of animosity for not making the ministerial list.
The APC made it clear that they were not going to run a Government of National Unity, so what is Sowere's grouse?

Is it also a coincidence that his call for revolution came after the ministerial list was released?

We have better things like Allen Onyema and Air Peace to worry about and I find it rather paradoxical that our dear Professor has not made a comment on the ordeals of Allen Onyema.

Soyinka dines with the people he criticizes and laughs to their faces, accepts their awards and shows up for their invitations.
Visits their official residences and takes happy photographs with them. Worse even, he allows his children to serve under them.

Aside not being as literally sound, this two-faced nature is one of the reasons he will never be half the man Chinua Achebe was.

Chinua Achebe made his stand on issues unequivocally clear without any hues of grey, he turned down National awards based on personal principles, he never fraternized with people he believed made the country worse off and most importantly, he spoke out irrespective of whose ox it was that was being gored.

Wole Soyinka may have the unmerited award, but Achebe is the laurel itself.

How can the same people who said they couldn't trust Nigeria in the hands of Atiku "the looter" and "Made in China" Obi now complain that Nigeria is finished under their Mr. Intergrity and his Professor of Law vice?

No way.

mushystuff:
If Osinbajo should so much as cough on this matter in any manner that paints the government black, they will literally play his tape and mess him up completely. It is clear he is compromised and they have him by the short hairs.

[s]Two of you should hide your faces in shame.because only a despicable human being will vote for this man,it shows the kind of person you both are,so just shut up.[/s]

livingoracle:
[s]Sowore must pay for all the attpcotoes he committed against true democracy. He got what he asked for, he was one of the idiots who brought the tyrant to power. Now, this is his misery.

"Those who shared the sword with Brutus met Ceaser's ghost at the Philippines".

Buhari is not a man Sowore can joke with, he isn't a Zoologist nor a retired Customs Officer, he is a General!

True democracy died in 2015, when gullible Nigerians said NO to GEJ.

Welcome to the club, we die here[/s]

seunmsg:
Buhari is seriously embarrassing those of us that supported him with the way he’s handling Sowore’s matter. The daylight abduction of Sowore inside the courtroom today is an act of tyranny and I join all Nigerians to condemn the barbaric act. There is no justification whatsoever for the evil act that was perpetrated by DSS today.

Buhari should immediately order the release of Sowore and apologize to Nigerians for desecrating the temple of justice. The next level should be of economic prosperity and not of oppression and barbarism.

Ladycewhy:
most of them cant even hold down a relationship with a good sensible lady for one week,they will feel threatened or even irritated by the mere presence of a human being who isn't doing any thing to provoke them ,yet they come online as if they have a bone to pick with women when they themselves have a disorder and refuse to threat it.They think its normal ,but that is a very serious issue from the view of a therapist.

GeoAfrikana:
Shows you're single.

tete7000:
Many people who married early too have problems with their marriage. The issue with marriages is something deeper than your analysis . It is about people's understanding of what marriage is. When you don't understand what you are going into, you lack the capacity to know what to do to stay in it. Proper definition of marriage, its purpose, its suitability or non-suitability for us helps us look for appropriate person that compliments ourselves. Until people stop dancing to social pressure and go into marriages on basis on strong understanding and conviction of what the institution of marriage is with inherent challenges, marriages will continue to have problem. Age, rather than being an impediment can help a man bring maturity into his marriage. From my own understanding, marriage is not for kids...

Mindfulness:
My brother's wife is such a lady. Just an example.

LabDNA:
If I can get a quiet and organized lady, just like me. I'll thank God. When I keep stuffs, I wanna come home and see it exactly where I kept it and if it's not there I don't wanna hear 'I don't know where it is', else I could go mad.

Single bachelor life can be sweet and addictive too.

Mindfulness:
Maybe marriage is not for you then or maybe you need a very big house and a rather quiet lady who understand when you need to be left alone.

BlowYourMind:
I don't know what you mean by poverty, but I married without job literally, and my marriage is still intact, now I have a joy through my inlaw, just marry a woman not prostitute or a materialistic imp.

Okoyiboz3:
Well, I wasn't talking to you.

RisenPhoenix:
When you wait too long before you marry, you get comfortable in the self-centred bachelor lifestyle. Any wife after that will be seen as an intruder in your home, eating your food and destroying your appliances. It won't last before you vex pack the 'guest' commot.

Okoyiboz3:
[s]Stop typing like a poverty-stricken illiterate. Your guy in Owerri. No wonder 4M is big money to you.

Your guy can buy a Venza for 20 Naira if you like, it just shows you move with people like you who can only afford to buy problems thinking they are buying good stuff.
