Falana always talking anyhow. Give us details of the alleged deal.

Ventura1:
He is the same guy, he has always been following Sowore to the court before the bail.

He is not. The person that held Sowore is on of his people. See him in the first picture below hailing him along with others before the start of court proceedings that day.

The guy you people are accusing (seating beside Sowore in the last picture) was not even wearing a white shirt and black suit, he wore a green shirt and a greenish grey suit.

Gazzy88:
While we have been busy talking about Nigeria of today, I wonder if we have spared a thought about how this country will be in the next TWENTY-FIVE years.

On October 1, 1979, when Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari was sworn-in as president, Goodluck Jonathan was just a 22 year-old undergrad of University of Port-Harcourt. Shagari was 54 years old. Ayo Fayose was 19 years old. Bukola Saraki was 17. Yemi Osinbajo was 22. The generation of the likes of Shagari, Richard Akinjide, Adisa Akinloye, Sabo Barkin Zuwo, Sam Mbakwe, Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo, Ume Ezeoke, Christian Onoh, Akin Omoboriowo, Olusola Saraki, Sunday Awoniyi, Garba Nadama, Awal Ibrahim and so on has gone for good!

Some of us in our 40s, 50s and 60s now, were in school then, either in the university or secondary school. We had lofty dreams, both personal and societal. We were always motivated by nationalists and inventors who had impacted positively on the cause of humanity. We were voracious readers of novels and other books. Nelkon for our Ordinary Level Physics, Lambert for Chemistry, B.O ADELEKE and Goh Cheng Leong for our Geography, Phebean Ogundipe for Practical English, William Shakespeare Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, OLa Rotimi and Wole Soyinka for Literature and others like that.

We were always flaunting our knowledge of current affairs. Inter-school quiz, Literary and Debating competition were the in-thing. Nowadays, students can hardly string a sentence together in English without errors.

Fast forward 35 years on and you are shocked and disturbed. Have you ever spoken to or engaged a 20 year-old boy? Ask him what motivates him and he is likely to mention music, hip hop to be precise. He has hundreds of downloaded songs on his phone. He can sing all of them off hand. He knows all the singles of Nice, Neato C, Timaya, Davido, Whiz Kid off hand. The babes among them take pride in enticing men old enough to be their father on social media with buxomly physique. But he/she does not know anything about history of nationalism in the country. Ideas about good society, responsible family and good conduct do not motivate him. He just wants to make money because his friend who does yahoo is rich and rides a good car, her friend who has numerous ‘aristos’ drives an SUV!

The things that interest him/her are things that do not add value. He /she has google but never uses it for advancement of knowledge but to download porn and other inanities. Yet, in TWENTY years time, they are the ones that will be contesting to become governors, senators, Reps members and even president.

They belong to a generation that does not care about morality. They belong to a generation that is motivated only by money and its acquisition. By 2035 to 2040, they will be our senators, Reps, governors and so on.

I wonder if we have ever spared a thought for how this country will look like under them. I told a man recently and these are my words: IF A GUY WHO IS IN LAGOS COULD USE FALSE PRETENCE TO
OBTAIN $20,000 FROM SOMEONE IN UNITED STATES, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF SUCH A GUY BECOMES A STATE GOVERNOR AND IS IN CHARGE OF AN ALLOCATION HE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE TO OBTAIN UNDER FALSE PRETENCE? WHICH HIS STATE IS STATUTORILY ENTITLED TO. How did we get into this mess? How can we get out of this predicament? I am worried, deeply worried. Are you?

Note: I don't know the Author of this write up, it was forwarded to me and it's worth reading and sharing.

Pls, let us continue to share,it might change one or two people.

I do sometimes think about all you have said and more. Its truly a scary prospect.

LabDNA:
He is not, the name of the SSS guy is marshall and well known to Sowore and Falana chambers.

Go on youtube and listen to Sunday politics of channels tv if you missed it last night because you too poor to buy a tv or pay for power with your miserable 30k stipends.

Ewu!

Its the same guy. Marshal in the last picture was wearing a green shirt.

Okoroawusa:
See the guy you call Marshall hailing Sowore before the commencement of court proceedings. That's your DSS official...

You guys better stop this drama...

Deji Adeyanju come and see your Marshall hailing sowore in the first picture. The guy in the last picture is a different person.

idid:
Were, these are two different court dates
slowpoke

Two different court dates you say, but Sowore and Bakare wear same clothes. Pls try to be objective a little.

Not the same people pls. One is wearing a lemon green shirt and grey suit while the other is wearing a white shirt and a black suit. Una de colour blind?

Alaska90:
So the guy in black suit holding Sowore down in the video is the court parish pastor ba?

use your brain...

That is no DSS operative, use your brain.

OlaPhils:
Very cheap lies.
so those lawyers we saw on video were fake lawyers
the room, those chairs, those premises were all fake.
This Imbeciles thought that we're as very stupid as they are.

na person dey argue like this? Chai!

Can the NHRC identify any DSS operatives in the viral video of that purpurted court room incident?

Lots of stupid comments.

Shebi some assholes said DSS had kidnapped and even killed him?

Iamgrey5:
Who are the numerous supporters

You mean the half a dozen people in the video that are not armed?

Bottom line, there is no DSS person in that damn video.

Iamgrey5:
Nah five people with guns would be sent to arrest an unarmed civilian.

Unarmed civilian with numerous supporters. You don't know one can be lynched?

joetem:
Pls watch the video again with objective mind, the days guy was in suit and people in the court were challenging him with the shout of "who are you"?

So you think only one ordinary looking person without a gun will be sent to arrest Sowore?

aimuan:
Have you watch the video where falana was asking DSS lawyer question? And again on what ground was sowore rearrested? Why did the judge retired to her office? And while did NBA release press statement?kindly answer this questions please.

You watch that video again. Do those people look like DSS operatives sent to arrest someone?

Racoon:
Lauretta Onioche have definitely watered the ground for for more lies.Same DSS that was in hot pursue of the accused? So how come the Channel TV cameraman was assult?

The shameless lies, impunity, lawlessness, brigandage and utter rascalisty of the DSS didn't start today.Make una continue.Karma will surely come visiting.

I tend to believe what the DSS is saying is true.
From the first time I watched the video, I was confused cos I saw no DSS person there. All I saw were ordinary looking people (probably supporters of the accused).
Normally DSS have guns and wear vests bearing the name of the institution.

Eartquake1:
Nigeria that is heavily dependent on loans to fund budgets

And do the loans come from the US? Go and do some research.

gloriaunobi:
They should sanction DSS officials not our economy oooo cos the economy is sick already

US is not sanctioning Nigeria pls. The Senator is speaking for himself.

US weights what it stands to gain or loose before any foreign policy is formulated. The US cannot afford to push the most populous African country to Russian and Chinese spheres of influence and strategic alliance just because of a Sowore.
Trump is too smart a person to act that way.

Eartquake1:
They are giving you aids and you are complaining as if you have mouth

You think Nigeria cannot do without USAID.

Let one of our senators also threaten the US with sanctions for stealing Syrian oil. Stupid individuals thinking they can just talk down on another country because its an African country.

The Senator doesn't speak for the US government.

bukatyne:
How you guys do it amaze me.

Let's assume that Sowore committed treason (I am sure in the part of your mind that is still sane, you don't believe that), the court has ordered his release.

Are you saying that Buhari and DSS are above the law?

Considering that APC and even same Sowore said worse about PDP, isn't it rich charging him for treason?

The DSS is interested in keeping Sowore off the streets cos they consider him a person who is interested in destabilizing constitutional order, so they finally obeyed the court order to release him and then rearrested him on fresh charges, different from the one for which he has been granted bail.

There is nothing legally wrong in rearresting a person on fresh charges. He will be charged to another court on the fresh charges.

wolverine1987:
Please how much is bike from Nigeria to USA and the shortest route?

A wolverine is a very bold animal, I doesn't run away.

Viicfuntop:
Shut the hell up. If you have got nothing to say, then shut up

You should shut up and go to hell cos you have nothing to say.

You must think we are all suffering from amnesia like you and your ilk. You and the fools that liked your comment should read this article on TheCable website:

In 2011, General Buhari called for a revolution

In 2011, General Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), called for a revolution in Nigeria — albeit through the ballot.

Via a statement by Yinka Odumakin, his spokesman at the time who has now turned to one of his fiercest critics, Buhari asked Nigerians to make exceptional sacrifices to assert their collective will in the country.

“The Egyptian pro-democracy campaigners defied all odds to achieve their set goal of terminating the 30-year old grip on power by Mubarak. Their tenacity has again confirmed the truism that no force on earth can stop a people determined,” he said.

This was not the first time the president called for mass action — he did the same in 2003, after losing the presidential election to incumbent Olusegun Obasanjo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In June 2003, supporters of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and Buhari, began a mass protest against the outcome of the April 19, 2003 presidential election in Abuja.

The protesters were reported to have massed at the Court of Appeal, venue of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to witness the proceeding.

They would later spill over to the streets where they chanted anti-government slogans against the Olusegun Obasanjo government.

A REPEAT IN 2011?

In the same statement calling for a revolution in 2011, Buhari commended the Egyptian military for refusing to attack “the forces of change”.

“The military in Egypt showed exemplary conduct with the way they refused to be used to attack the forces of change,” Buhari was quoted to have said.

“They showed the whole world that there is a clear difference between the state and those who temporarily occupy political offices for a fixed tenure. This is a lesson for our security agents who have been used to subvert the will of the people at elections in recent past.

“The time has come for our own security forces to demonstrate similar valour by putting national interest above that of individuals when there is a clash between the two.

“Unlike the Egyptians who went through self-denial for 18 unbroken days to achieve their aspiration for leadership change, Nigerians just have to take their voter cards, vote on each election day and ensure that their votes count and are properly counted.

“It is time to demonstrate people’s power to free our country from those who have held it hostage for the last 12 years and are threatening to keep it so for 60 years.”

BUHARI COMMENDS EGYPT’S REVOLUTIONARIES

The CPC flagbearer commended the revolutionaries in Egypt, asking Nigerians to emulate them and support themselves regardless of religious divides.

“More importantly Nigerians have to learn from the way faiths integrated to achieve national aspiration. Christians formed rings round Muslims as they observed their Jumat prayers during the demonstrations,” Buhari said.

“For us as a people, we need to also move from balance of hate to balance of faith as the Egyptians practically demonstrated on the field of battle for change.

“Rather than allow ourselves to be divided by our faiths, we must emphasise what binds us together and areas where the shoe pinches us collectively as people with common humanity. With all sense of modesty, this is part of what the Buhari-Bakare candidacy represents.”

Protest against outcome election is not the same thing as calling for a revolution and bragging on video that by the time you are done bringing down the government, DSS (which is a constituted authority) and others will cease to exist.

In commending the Egyptian military for not attacking the "revolutionaries" in Egypt, Buhari was expressing his personal opinion as a private citizen then about something happening in Egypt and so didn't commit treason against Nigeria.

Abubaushe:
Sis Menendez
In the states, If Hilary clinton had come out in 2016 after the presidential election and walked on the street of New york and declared a Revolution among others claimed that CIA,FBI would be dismantled...Will she be walking free today in USA?

Pls help me ask him.

payperpost:
and democracy gives you right to kill women leaders, voters , shooting guns during election and personalized INEC , disobey court orders , chasing away judge in the court room

That's your opinion.

chewwie:
Is your foolishness for real? It is well within his rights to hold a peaceful, unarmed protest against a corrupt, oppressive and incompetent government.

go and watch the video where he said there will be no more DSS (which is a constituted authority) after they bring the government of Buhari down. That is treason my friend.

gensteejay:
I guess your memory span is as short as your IQ is low. BUHARI, Tinubu, and other APC stalwarts did worse than Sowore during Jonathan's regime and didn't face any harassment from the then government.

Omo ode

Shut up you slowpoke, they never said they want to bring down the government of Jonathan through a revolution. They only protested certain issues.

payperpost:
use your brain! this is democracy, government of the people by the people!

the dullard even used military tone in the eve of election, "nobody will unseat me - The illiterate

Yes its a democracy. But democracy does not give a person the right to plot civil unrest. Such actions are not taken lightly in any country.

Does Sowore's rights include organizing a revolution with the hope of bringing down the government?
