Let him start as his Local government chairman

Nigeria is too big for him to use it to experiment.

Anyways, he’s cashing out with donations

NADECO members suffered under Abacha. Many of them fled abroad, some of them got detained, or roped up in coup things, people like Chief Rewane and Mrs Kudirat Abiola were executed by government agents linked to Abacha, and even those that were not suffering were harrased by government agents.

Also, people like Sowore suffered as you dey see am...he too had to go abroad.

Some of you were not born to see what some of us saw. It's because most of the adults of those days don't comment on nairaland, otherwise dem go tell you stories.

Abacha was a brutal guy. If you were detained by his goons, dem go hold you for underground DSS prision, no go see your lawyer, or your family...and so forth.

Compared to Abacha, tinubu and buhari and all our democratic leaders are nice people. Take MNK...at least people know where he is, he went through normal court case. In 1995, Ken Saro-Wiwa was just dragged before a millitatty tribunal and sentenced to death, and within the hour it was carried out. Just like that. And his crime was agitating for better for his tribe, not even calling for secession, june 12 or overthrow of Abacha.

Make una no dey come here cap nonsense. I no dey like tinubu, but I also no dey like lies.

My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?

At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.

That is Tinubu?

Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.

He wanted to be a commissioner?

Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.

Was Tinubu very close to MKO?

Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.

TossTos:
Police and Military of then compare to now , he also knows what came up of his last protest ...

udemzyudex:
Lol... Na by e don dey since?

tooth4tooth:
You are probably a gen Z.

The police of then were worst than this. No police or army of today has the right to break into your house then flog you with koboko to do sanitation exercise. As for protest, there was no one without fatalities.

anonimi:
Thanks for this throwback comment............................the worst democracy is better than the best military dictatorship.

Pacesetter123:
I don't know why people are accusing this guy of being government paid agent.
It sounds so foolishhhhhh to me for anyone to say that.
Are you people telling me that every government in power from that 90s till date always have a pact with him to protest for money against them?
He protest against Abacha and got paid by the same Abacha?
He protest against Obasanjo and got paid by him?
He protested against Goodluck and got paid by the same Goodluck?
He protested against Buhari and got paid by him?
And he is currently protesting against Tinubu and you guys still mean he is getting paid by Tinubu?
You guys are delusional.
For those of you asking where he got millions of naira to pay for his child school fees abroad... you don't know anything about activism of the level he has reached.
Even the VDM that is accusing him of protesting for money,where did he also get his money from?
Is it not from donations from individuals, organizations,and foreign donors who believe that he is fighting a just course for humanity?
If him that just started activism yesterday could worth hundreds of millions now if not billions,then what makes him or any other person think Sowore who started more than 30 years ago should not worth billions without government sponsorship?
The thing is that when you reach a celebrity status either as an Activist or Entertainer, people feels that what you are doing is impacting them or the larger society will donate money,or an other materials to you to continue with your "good" work.
Or if you have any issue at that stage, people are ever ready to donate money to you.
Look at Blessing CEO,just for few days she claimed to have health challenge,do you know how much millions of naira people donated to her?
If the situation was real and she is taking treatment in the hospital,the donations would have still continued and maybe reaching billion naira by now.
People got evicted from BBN House, people were so emotional about it and started donating millions of naira to the person and he/she becomes a millionaire overnight when some of the donors have never counted 500k in their life.
So going by that, people should know that a lot of Nigerians including me and foreign Donors see what Sowore and even VDM that is talking trash now against Sowore are doing as "service to humanity" and will be over willing to donate money to their FOUNDATIONS to continue the good work.
That's where Sowore gets his millions of naira from and not by any fuvking government of any era as you people are insinuating.

damble:
I used to hold Sowore in high esteem but no any longer. It seems he doesn't has bearing

Before he officially became a "Cashtivist"

What Tinubu never did, yet claims he fought for democracy.

That's why we can see how he is practicing he so called democracy as president today,

Same Nairaland1 that use to troll people on travel section?

Oga shift, Gen Z scarterr your blokos

EponObi:
What was Obi doing at that time?

I heard he was wining and dining with Abacha. FFO, For Food Only!

The only mistake Sowore did was not going for elective position at lower levels decades ago. He would have scaled up to be viable for the presidency? I salute his struggles for democracy, but no way Nigerians will vote for him as president. He should have started as a lawmaker.

Hemanwel:
I don't even understand what Sowore current goal is.

Only you will fight government.

Only you will fight opposition

Only you will fight activist VDM

Only you will claim you are fighting for the poor masses, yet your child is schooling in the US where you're paying over 75m a year.

If you think you can become whatever in this country by yourself, I wish you goodluck.

This guy is 1 million times better than all those old tired retired cargoes in ADC. See the kind of Leader the Senegalese voted for as there president. Young and vibrant but here in Nigeria, the delusional Nigerians that want change are proposing old cargoes that where once there oppressors while in power and have used there hate for the present government with a pinch of tribalism to whitewash those empty leaders

indigenous234:
Bro, all these talks no hold water. Sowore is not who you think he is. Dude supported Buhari to power!!!. NADECO people have been in government since 2015, so please spare us these talks about NADECO. Sowore is a blackmailer in chief and a protest merchant

realG101:
What kind of mentality is this.

So a man can be right for the job, but because he has not held lower offices, then he cannot be voted for.

Which public office did trump occupy before becoming president?


Was obasanjo a lg chair or a governor before becoming president?

Conversely, those who by your argument have held lower political offices before becoming president, how did they move the country forward?

zinaunreal:
So this guy don dey since yet people no take am seriously. There must be something fundermentally wrong with him then

Hav you asked yourself how much he earns from Sahara reporters?

Do you even know his wife nature of job and how much she earns per month?
