They should pity him abeg

Abi. Let the gate of heaven (APC) not be shut against him.

baby124:
There are so many groups threatening the sovereignty of western nations and they have never been prosecuted except when they take up violent struggles. Everyone has the right to freedom of speech and association. They also have the right to protest. The government is unlawfully detaining Sowore because he is within his rights. He has not carried out any violent acts so he should be released. This government is constantly pardoning Boko Haram members who have killed Nigerians after a very short term of detention. Are you a clown? Why is Sowore’s case more important and why exactly is he being detained?

The bolded is the irony of our situation.
Nigerian government and their insincerity.

Nwodosis:
A particular tribe made mockery of Nnamdi Kanu when he was in detention of being fed with watery beans, Kanu people never abandon him even when we were made to believe that his people are not United. I believe Sowore is being fed with yam and egg sauce and that's why his United people abandoned him to enjoy in detention.

Is it really about the protesters who are fed with the failed up corrupt system, or is it about the suffering masses?
If the likes of Sowore and Kanu choose to go mute, will they be considered poor or found amongst the poorest of us?
I pray we can look beyond our divisive tendencies and see our leaders take us serious.

Lol...Zlatan for curse those SARS officials for their presence na make dem use broken bottles cut dat him dreadlocks.

LMAO!
You wan make them break that him zanku leg abi?

Zubydeangelo:
And someone thinks that closing the border is the solution? Do you know the inconveniences you caused the citizens because of this your reasoning? Borders are patrolled by the police, immigration, army & other security apparatus & when these people are up & doing, no pin goes in or out of the country without them knowing. Nigeria's problem bothers on security not closing of borders.

Your soldier go, soldier come president lacks the capacity to grasp this.
A ex-military man of close to 80 years of age, please what do we really expect from him, practically speaking?

GreyLaw:
Nice talk. The borders leaking insurgents into Nigeria are the ones to be closed.

Isn't it just business as usual?
Some few people with the long leg are to made rich through this anti-masses move.
Not even when Federal government is not yet tired of their usual insincerity and paying of lip service to agriculture.
If only the local rice was available and affordable.

MrGerald:
After northerners killed Igbos in the north few years back and the Igbos retaliated by killing hundreds of them in Onitsha and Aba, they no dey mess that kind up again, you don't monopolize violence, it's spread.

Don't even imagine or pray for such violence to break out, let alone picture the shape things will take.
Wisdom is key my friend.

englishmart:
Japan is a civilized country. They value and understand the entails of democracy. You can't constitutionally stop people from peaceful remonstration.
If your administration is favourable or close to par, why then do you dread protests?
Silencing of aggrieved, peaceful protesters leads to a reinforcement of anger that is capable of causing an upheaval

There you have it.
It a crime, treason to protest against governments in Nigeria, whether peaceful or whatever, especially with the present high-handed yet underperforming leaders. If not constitionally, at least realistically speaking.

Saint Akpabio! We hail thee.

Hmm. Speechless!

BoleAndFish:
I've been downloading this update for hours now on 4G!!!!!!!!! It's supposed to be 638mb but right now, more than 700mb don go and it's still on 94%

Baba Bole abeg na which phone be that?

Iblad0994:
Do you think this kind of crime is to be blamed on government alone? Most times we don't always take responsibility for our actions. These guys are millionaires that scammed several million dollars, they would have been into these crimes for God knows when.

While the government should share in part of the blame, we Nigerians ourselves are a reflection of our bad government. Go to gov't ministries, public agencies, secondary schools (Parent sponsoring exam malpractices for their children), police force, Nepa, legislature, executive, chruches and mosques, e.t.c. The greatest threat to Nigeria is even that people already visualize crime as the norm and if you try to be righteous people will start calling you mumu or stupid.

I don't even know what to say self, may God help us.

It is well dear.

Iblad0994:
"Corporate America is notoriously unfriendly when it comes to the hardworking black immigrant."

The bolded statement is what I call fallacy of hasty generalization. When will people learn to stop judging the USA by the action of Trump. I have been working here and my colleagues have always value us Africans for our brilliance and passion for work.

Although she is right about the recent fraud issue coz I am really bothered by the news of the FBI 80 which was on the front page of CNN website when it occurred. The implication is that my colleagues will try to view Nigerians from that angle even if they are not willing to say it.

The scammers are hurting us indirectly, but most especially they are hurting people in Nigeria that are trying to migrate here more. The day I almost regretted being a Nigerian is when one Indian colleague told me in the midst of other colleagues that Nigerians are mostly scammers in Atlanta, he said it immediately I told him I'm from Nigeria, although I defended Nigeria and told him we are not a nation of scammer but the stigma still sticks anytime I remember that day.

I hope people change and stop this get rich quick by any means syndrome.

Sadly, not with the dangerously corrupt governments that we have. In the face of this, many will unfortunately still choose to go that route as an easy way out and damn the consequences.

Nwodosis:
We pray for the tipper driver to be alive to tell the stories of his ordeal in their hands!

Wetin we wan talk again. Shebi naija na lawless country.

Every news from Naija, renewed hopelessness.
Which way Nigeria?
We have never really suffered from natural disasters.
Our problems are purely man made.

abbiboy:
Like india abi,is just like asking for chinko Iphone in place of the real Iphone.i laff when i see people rush to india for medicare.is just like comparing techo with HTC phone.90% guarantee u can get from developed countries medicare n not cheap n unreliable india surgeons.

Agreed indian doctors can be very unreliable too (from what I know), but isn't our medical care situation here in Nigeria worse than that theirs still?

Shameless southerners that will rather die fighting each other than unite and fight a common cause. Get busy as usual.
Your masters don't need lose sleep over you. You are already doing their bidding. Shameless.

DeRay98:
I have a secondary school classmate who had kidney transplant at a hospital in Abuja about 4-5yrs ago and he's been fine since.
Some of us his classmates had to support him financially. We are still in same school whatsapp group...

Not denying the possibility of success with them, the probability of failure as a typical Nigerian thing is really high and scary.

Needless to say much when you hear it's Nigerian.
If you know, you know.

Fulmigati:
Kayode Ogundamisi will not post this on his twitter account. This concerns his people. Had it been it was Igbo names you will see this everywhere on Nairaland and twitter.

One sad thing is we are still foot dragging in admitting our government has failed us and we are busy fighting based on tribe (especially southerners), rather than unite and face our common enemy. Our cruel government and leaders are the ultimate winner in all this confusion.

Yamleg:
Must they kill them?
Can't they pardon them?
That's why I love Nigeria.

No that's why Nigeria is so backward. Not a reason to love Nigeria.
In those climes they are strict enough to enforce such strigent laws that will deter people from such crimes. Unlike we who can't enforce even the simplest form of orderliness. Bad as it may be that it is our own people who are about to be killed, I wonder if they will suddenly deviate from their tradition, think twice and choose to pardon them.
Our leaders are not helping matters as they seem to have sworn never to get anything right.

Situation001:
keep killing yourself and be blaming the herdsmen.. and don't let the operatives do their work.. it's your cup of tea

Killer herdsmen suddenly become saints?
You've got to wake up to the stark reality staring you in the face dearie.
It is completely unacceptable to have them roaming free, splilling blood.
Why should anyone feel at home with such anomaly?
And the operatives you mentioned unfortunately unashamedly have solid track record of rather further complicating issues than resolving them, with endless fruitless investigations. Can they turn a new leaf, wouldn't the people be better off.
Security is not just "your cup of tea", buddy security is everyone's business.

Truest:
As an Igbo man, I will rather go into drug, crime, fraud, ritual, selling of fake tins. it is better than begging & borrowing money to start a business

we are d most hardworking people in Nigeria & nobody understand how we succeed in business. we are scattered across every corners of d world. Go to Mozambique, we are d only spare parts sellers in dat country. you will never know our secret. deal with it ok

With the bolded, we can conclude you are one of them only that you have not been caught yet.

lexy2014:
Nobody said that our leaders don't steal. D issue is that d Nigerian environment isn't an excuse 4 our people to go abroad and start to steal. If these guys have d brain to steal more than $1b, they certainly have d brain to b legally productive irrespective of d environment they find themselves even in Nigeria. D root cause isn't d system. That's only an excuse.

Its quite unfortunate that most d cases of drugs& fraud related crimes being perpetrated by Nigerians abroad are being traced to nigerians of Igbo origin. because of that people will have no choice but to tag igbos. But it doesn't mean that there are no hardworking igbos in Nigeria & abroad. But when we start making excuses 4 these crimes instead of condemning them, then it becomes easy 4 non-igbos to make it an ethnic issue

If anything, our cruel leaders are happy to see us remain along those divisive lines of tribe and religion and never think of coming together to address our common problem which is they themselves. Such genuine coming together of the masses which in itself can bring to an end the suffering appears like something can never be with the sort of hate and division always being exhibited by folks even here. Still, I think I do get your perspective.

Brugo:
They said they wanted to deverop America. America said no thank you. But biafrans can’t help the deveropment tendencies in them. They went ahead with their plans.

Lock them up forever. Give them mud to play with sha. Add some pythons to dance for them too.

Very funny I must say.
Yet, the suffering masses should be more interested in uniting to face their common enemy than standing along divisive lines.

lexy2014:
If d environment is d problem, then all of us in d environment should b criminals. Is d system in Nigeria working? No it isn't. If that is d reason 4 them engaging in criminal acts, then when they travel out who& what is influencing them to engage in crime? When they get to d US, y don't they submit to d rules of d environment since d " environment" is d issue? If they were eating yam here by engaging in criminal activities, when they got 2d US y did they continue eating yam? If u take these guys to heaven, they will still steal from God and d angels.

No matter what these guys steal, they are never near what our chronically corrupt leaders steal,which many of us seem very comfortable with, and is unfortunately the core of the problem. While condemning it, painting it as merely a tribal thing is not the way to go. Addressing the root cause of the issue which is bad governance is the solution.

BABSSSOO:
or better still kill them all. no wonder america no wan they give Nigerians visa, the most annoying thing is that na some particular set of people they do this..

Which way with all these pretty tribal stuff? Do you really feel proud you are always viewing things like this?
The earlier the poor masses unite against their oppressors, the better for them. Nigeria's notoriously bad governments can most certainly not be dissociated from all these negatives that we see.

doris00:
The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, on Thursday, released its report on the investigation into the rape scandal surrounding the Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo.

CAN had given the PFN two weeks to submit report of its probe into the rape allegation against the Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo.

Speaking to newsmen on Thursday, PFN’s National Publicity Secretary, Bishop Emma Isong disclosed that Fatoyinbo ignored the panel that was set up to investigate the accusations against him.

PFN, while declaring the investigation ‘inconclusive’, stated however that Busola and her husband, Timi Dakolo appeared before the panel.

Recall that Busola, wife of Timi Dakolo had in weeks past disclosed details of how Fatoyinbo allegedly raped her when she was a teenager.

Fatoyinbo, however, denied the allegation, saying he has never forced himself on any woman in his life.

Too bad, a chance to clear one's name when being accused, if he was innocent why not seize the opportunity?
With look of things there's a high probability he must have done it until he proves otherwise.

Situation001:
they are making life difficult for themselves.. let them continue blaming the herdsmen for the evil their sons and daughters are committing.. they are not doing me.. at the end of the day na dem go still suffer am..

all of a sudden everyone living in that doomed part of the country became saints except for the fulanis.. I'm telling you my brother they are only giving escape routes for the perpetrators.. and trust me, the perpetrators won't stop because they have who people will blame for their atrocities.. and at the end of the day it is still these same blamers that will still suffer the consequence..
if they like make they wise up.. if they like make they no.. na their useless wahala..

And wherever you are, don't think you are any safer. If it could happen to them over there, only a matter of time you find at your doorstep to know how real it is.

Marineghost:
Ritualist using herdsmen as cover
Very difficult country
.
.

Never smoke without fire. You don't think there will be trails left and eyewitnesses to suggest it's the killer herdsmen? You think they are so dumb not to know when it's not them? Yes the people must have been dumb enough to have allowed all this happen in their very own territory in the first place. Our divisive tendencies, our greatest woes!

Meanwhile, the minister should know that Nigerians too are begging him to please perform even though he appears like he has nothing to offer.
