I pity people who think Sowore is an activist.
Activist my foot.
The guy is a hustler, just cashing out.
See VDM the way he is living large now all in the name of activist.
Activism is a means of making ends meet.
Know this and know peace.

Sometimes, people exhibit and expose their lack of knowledge even when they want to prove they are better informed.

"Based in New York City, Sahara Reporters was founded in 2006 by Omoyele Sowore.[2][3] It employs staff members in Nigeria and the United States. The site's publication of leaked, often unfiltered information has disrupted Nigeria's traditional media scene.[4]

By basing his operation in New York, Sowore for years had a degree of protection from the consequences of publishing often scandalous information about Nigeria's most powerful people. He shuttled between his family home in New Jersey and Nigeria, where he is a citizen, without much interference.

After launching an open presence in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2017, Sahara Reporters has come under a series of attacks, as reported by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), among others. On December 10, 2019, Sahara Reporters staff told CPJ that their Nigerian bank account was frozen without advance notice in October. Their website was separately disabled twice due to allegations of copyright infringement, and staff report cyberattacks and increased surveillance outside their Lagos office, according to Sahara Reporters staff who spoke to CPJ."

In case you want to check, this is an extract from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara_Reporters#:~:text=After%20launching%20an%20open%20presence,without%20advance%20notice%20in%20October.

Now let's discuss:

Does Sahara Reporters have a Nigerian office?

Answer - Yes.

Does Sahara Reporters operate in Nigeria?

Answer - Yes.

Does Sahara Reporters have staff operational in Nigeria?

Answer - Yes.

If you agree with the answers above. Then you should know that the staff of Sahara reporters PAYE tax must be remitted to the IRS of the states where they are resident.

If you agree with the answers above, then you should know that NRS(FIRS) has right to demand CIT, WHT and VAT remittances from Sahara Reporters for transactions and profit generated in Nigeria. Same applies to every online businesses and organizations, irrespective of whatever country where the corporate office was incorporated, that generates income(profit) from Nigeria business activities.

Mind you, I never referred to freelancers or guest journalist. I referred to staff, either casual or permanent, of Sahara Reporters who are employed in Nigeria.

Your lack of education on the operation and applicability of tax in Nigeria is the reason you are confused or cleverly trying to maneuver around Sahara Reporters tax obligations in Nigeria. Get some tax education please.
Where is SR's office in Nigeria?
I need their address so I can report a major story to them.
I'll be waiting. Thanx in advance

Some people can be so ridiculous. Even when you are properly educating them, they still want to be clueless.

You have access to google but you don't want to research. You would rather use your data to banter with misinformation.

Anyway, let me help to educate you again:

Sahara Reporters:

Registered Address:
NO 46B ADEKUNLE FAJUYI WAY IKEJA GRA IKEJA, LAGOS.

Lagos Office:
13B, ISAAC JOHN STREET, IKEJA, LAGOS.

You can go and report your fake story to them, take a flight or night bus to Lagos; run along.

O.d.e!

O.k.p.o.n.u A.y.i.r.a.d.a
Since you have their address, use the same energy to confirm that SR does not remit PAYE and CIT instead of silly conjectures and lies
So in your delusions, a registered company in the heart of Lagos that's known for brushes with the political establishment will fail to remit statutory taxes and FIRS will need you and your friends in the circus to report them before they are "covertly investigated"
Common sense is truly not common
You're still yet to show from the Op where it is reported that SR does not remit taxes or we should just accept your claim because you nor dey lie
A.g.b.e.p.o!!

I will never go into such deceptive hustle all in the name of being an activist.

I still have records of hundreds of millions the EFCC traced to private bank accounts during and after the end SARS protest.
The ignorant and innocent youth's were protesting and being brutalized, while the so called organizer's turned businessmen activist were cashing out million's.
The sponsor's of the end SARS protest were all from the diaspora. How much money got into the bank account of the timid youth?
The more they organize a protest, the more money they make from their foreign sponsor's.
The more they are arrested and sent to prison, the more millions they make from their foreign sponsor's.

That is a technical yahoo and scammer.
Gone are the days when we have genuine and organic activist, the likes of Chief Gani, Beko Kuti, Fela Kuti, Chief Frank Kokori just to mention a few.

What we have now are businessmen activist.

Na normal thing - Whenever we have individuals who get vocal against your beloved government in power, there must be something to blackmail with.

Whatever may be the motive, if we have more of Sowore, VDM, Aisha, in this country, our leaders will sit up,,
Even if they don't sit up, they with loot with 'trembling'

Sowore for one has that activism in him, if you like call it SUG activism,,

He was around in the days of IBB and Abacha.


For whatever it's worth, you must accord maximum respect to Sowore..

Even if he's doing it for clout or money, going against corrupt Nigerian government including the military takes "balls"

Respect Sowore! You could never never never walk in his shoes!

If the likes of Fela, Kokori and Gani were around today in the current political dispensation, Nigerians will tell you things like;

"Oh, Gani is being sponsored to work against Tinubu"
"Oh Kokori is angry that Tinubu defeated his preferred candidate."
"Oh Fela, cannot win his ward"
