Nigerians don't read beyond APC/PDP propaganda. Anyone who is minimally informed about happenings in Zimbabwe would have nothing but praise and commendation for SR crew.

Except Zimbabweans are unthinking animals, there is no way Mugabe can legitimately be in power without rigging. And for someone like him to be in Abuja to "pollute" the change we have just witnessed, something he frustrated in Zimbabwe, is criminal to say the least. How do you ask Mugabe, in a polite way, if he intends to die as a president ? How do you ask a man with seven academic degrees to stop destroying the country he is supposed to be (mis)ruling?

If you don't confront Mugabe and let him know that history would see him as a villain, you are wasting your time.

I'm shocked you also supported the unethical lack of professionalism exhibited by those riff raff from Sahara reporters. In as much as Mugabe has turned his country into his family - good or bad - depending on ya understanding of Zimbabwean politics. However, that was totally uncalled for, and it shows how ridiculously unprofessional the clowns working for Sahara reporters are.

Regardless, of what he stands for as the president of his country - he's still an elected leader of a country, and they ought to respect him for that. Especially when Nigeria and Zimbabwe get along just fine. You don't tell folks how to run their country. Have you ever seen any Western journalist question the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain et al?

Err, so they don't rig elections in Nigeria and Buhari won the election without rigging Northern Nigeria, with under-age voters? GEJ didn't rig in both the SS and SE, no? Smfdh @ Nigerians trying to exude exceptionalism over the window-dressing they just achieved. The smoke is going to clear soon.

Mugabe was actually smiling and chatting at the beginning (in the car). then the SR people started yelling on top of their voices like touts. the lady stopped using "sir" and at least one of them even called him "Mugabe"; not president. and then comments like "e don do", "he's very old", "elections...", just pure nonsense. who let the dogs out? not a way to treat a national guest.

Have stopped reading or watching Sahara reporters way back. They need to be trained on decency rather than this display of rascality that can only be associated with bus conductors on the streets of Lagos...!!!

It's very obvious from your post that you might have NEVER left the shores of Nigeria otherwise you wouldn't write this... Come and see what the British Press does to their Politicians, even Cameron... what you saw here is just child's play. The Journalist are working for the people are you are calling them names, for your info they are doing their Jobs. just that you are used to some Nigerian Journalist that MIGHT be afraid to do their Jobs that is why you find this Video strange... Some of the Western Press are 20x worst than what you call Rascality and Bus Conductor

So I should embrace this dumbassness? This isn't journalism this is plain and most stupidest way to show off. Zimbabweans are not complaining are they? This is the same way dumbass Africans criticized Gaddafi and finally killed him. Thanks for UK, France and Almighty oil ever hungry USA.

This bitchhh was so rude. Something she would never tell Buhari if he was ruling as military dictator.

Stop telling porkies and spouting nonsense about what you know nothing about.

So British journalists harass leaders of other friendly countries invited by Downing street to grace an event, no? He wasn't even on a working visit.

These folks from sahara reporters are crass, uncivilsed, loutish, and very unprofessional. No excuse whatsoever for what they did - and it's a disgrace to Nigeria and journalism.

If Nigeria has a problem with how Mugabe is running Zimbabwe, the government should go about it via diplomacy. And I'm sure the Nigeria government has no problem with the country, hence Mugabe was invited.

Am i the only one who thinks they were a little bit rude. The questions were perfect but the mannerism was poor.

the guy on white agbada reminds me of a kegite i used to know back then in FUTA. He was toutish. Adeola could have started by asking him how are you? How do you feel being here today? When are we likely to come to Zimbabwe for an inauguration like this?

.

I think Sahara Reporters are surprisingly poorly informed or just pretend to be.
Elections do happen reguarly in Zimbabwe and foreign leaders and others do attend. That Americans don't go doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

If you want to ask when he will step down, fine. Good question to ask.
Fact is Deola didn't really get any response from Mugabe. Perhaps with a bit more finesse they might have had a little chat. That is if getting any response was even the aim, rather than causing what they think is embarassment.

Throwing questions that get no response is something that happens to leaders regularly.

Talking of bravery when attempting to talk to Mugabe on Nigerian soil is rather funny. What could Mugabe's aids have done? Kidnap her and take to Harare?

Did I hear something like where is that Zuma sef

Shymmexx,

Let me start this way. You don't need democracy to develop a nation. As political scientists often say, the jury is out on what comes first between democracy (because what we often called democracies, frankly, are not) and development. But for any country to develop, you need good and competent leaders. Leaders that are visionaries. In other words, democracy doesn't guarantee development, in ways that good leaders would. In any case, you need good leaders to "regulate" democracy otherwise it becomes a disaster. So, I am not celebrating Nigeria's democracy and if you read between the lines, you could easily decipher my opinion on unregulated democracy.

Therefore, my problem with Mugabe isn't much of whether democracy in Nigeria is a superlative one relative to Zimbabwe's. It's that of leadership. Do you think as a leader and considering the havoc he wrecked in Zimbabwe, Mugabe deserves any respect? Should we as Africans on the pretext of respecting "elders" continue to deify those who are destroying our continent? He is supposed to be against imperialism but his country has adopted the currencies of the imperialists! Think about that.

How many citizens of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bharain, etc are risking their lives through desert and on vast ocean to be a third class citizens in Europe? I don't like Saudi Arabia, but I would be false to myself to think the country doesn't work for its citizens. Is China a democracy? China is also working! Regardless of what is in paractice in Zimbabwe, pseduo-democracy, authoritarianism, name it, the country doesn't work. And no other person has personalized that failure more than Mugabe. Should we then continue to give a fair description of what is bad? Canonize Mugabe? Haba! Let's call a spade a spade. It's time for Mugabe to leave and if his seven degrees could not guide him, we all need to let him know that he is a villain, a disaster. If he pretends to be one, we also have revolutionaries in other countries a la Cuba and we have seen how transition was managed there.

GenBuhari:
Sahara Reporters have become the attack dogs for America and Europeans.

To me it is disgraceful way to treat a guest that cared enough to attend himself to honour our new president.

Ironic thing is that Mugabe was elected by his people in elections far more free and fair than our own.

it is not disgraceful to embarrass a known armed robber hu goes to the thanksgiving of a man who escaped being killed by robbers.

Sahara Reporters is a CIA funded TV station operating from the United States aimed at destabilizing Nigeria.

Adeola Fayehun is a Nigerian born CIA operative who is just doing the bidding of her employer.

This “provocation” against Robert Mugabe who is the current President of the African Union is a "special US request". The US govt alongside their UK allied have been trying using all sorts of covert means(without any success) to Pdt Mugabe for the past 15 years.

This bitch talks about “democracy” without any knowledge about the history of Zimbabwe and the role played by Robert Mugabe in the actual establishment of “democracy” in Zimbabwe and to his contribution to end of Apartheid

Sahara Reporters is one of the many instruments Western powers use to destabilize Nigeria. Their journalists are in direct contact with Boko-Haram death squads who communicate with them with encrypted telephones supplied by the "Boko-Haram sponsors"

This lady named Adeola Fayehun who may still be in Nigeria and she should immediately be probed by the Defence Intelligence Agency

Pdt Muhamadu Buhari must be extremely careful with all these Nigerians working for Western intelligence who have apparently managed to infiltrate his entourage. Sahara Reporters are actually "terrorist sympathisers" and individuals like Adeola Fayehun are extremely "dangerous"
A word to the wise!

Sir, I understand where you are coming from, however, I didn't expect the comment I saw earlier from someone like you. For all Mugabe's imperfections/sins and whatever methods/ways he chooses to govern his country. The paramount thing is that: he's elected leader of his country, and he ought to be respected for who he's. Also, the fact that he was invited to grace on occasion, and not on a working visit - should also determine the type of questions they ought to ask him. But definitely not the way they went about it, harassing him like hecklers. Even TMZ reporters, as poorly trained as they're, wouldn't do that. Those folks are an utter disgrace to journalism and Nigeria, and folks need to call them out for the obvious unprofessionalism.

That said, democracy is a game of number, with majority deciding the outcome, regardless of whatever people think about the outcome/process involved. So, he was elected either by hook or by crook, but that doesn't negate the fact that he's the democratically elected president of Zimbabwe. However, do I agree with the process and the fact that he has been there since forever? - absolutely not. The most important thing is that Zimbabweans aren't complaining - if they had any problem with him, most of them would be on the streets protesting right now, daring the consequences. So, what rights have outsiders got in interfering in a next country's business? And would Nigerians be happy if other countries were to interfere in its national issues, or treat the president of the country the same way?

More so, what's happening in Zimbabwe is no different from what's attainable all over the African continent albeit in different shades. In as much as I supported the election of the Buhari cos GEJ has to be the worst leader to ever govern a country and anything will be better than him. However, how's he different from Mugabe? Isn't he a former dictator and part of the old guards that have been ruling Nigeria post Biafran war, with a collective of folks who have been there since 1999, moving from one party to the other? To most Nigerians, that's exceptionalism and "change" - just as Mugabe represents exceptionalism and "change" to Zimbabweans, for taking their lands back. Evidently, it will be a tad bit hypocritical to question Mugabe, when the same thing in a different shade is being praised in Nigeria as an historic moment. We need to tread carefully when we critique others.

Well those so called journalists obviously skipped their diplomacy class!! He is a leader of a country and an invited dignitary!! For the sake of the occasion and diplomacy you ought to skip that activist approach. Hell we have so many battles to fight at our own soil than to start igniting diplomatic fuses!!

Wey Zuma sef? What is wrong with this people sef!!! Why are they embbarassing our August visitors?

Looks like SHReporters had an agenda to not only embarass Mugabe but also Jacob Zuma. Shame on them, they seem (SHR) to love courting controversy all in d name of practising that noble profession called Journalism.

That female reporter is a bit uncouth and the whole crew were acting toutish at the end. . . embarrassing!

SHARIAREPORTERS:
I hate sahara reporters

Na by force to practice democracy?

The essence of democracy is to hold the leadership to accountability. Nothing wrong in what she did. The hallmark of democracy is asking tough questions.

How exactly were they unprofessional? We all watch news everyday and it is not uncommon for journalists to follow, even race after diplomats, politicians etc to have them answered pertinent questions. What do you think SR crew should have done? How should they have handled him? Are you saying we should give a bad leader a pass because he is the embodiment of his country's sovereignty? It would have been a criminal betrayal for SR to have censored itself. They are not your type of journalists, but my type that combine activism with journalism. Mugabe is a bad leader who has brought Zimbabwe to her knees, and deserved to be confronted, not pampered with questions.

Zimbabweans were and are still complaining; their protests were suppressed. Why did he have to share power with Tsvangirai in the past? It's not a case of Zimbabweans' docility, it's a case of unrealized change. They sought but he frustrated it. So, it's not a complete picture to say Zimbabweans are happy with him. He came to celebrate what he frustrated in Zimbabwe. In addition, do you think because there are no protests in Togo, Cameroon, etc, the leaders in those countries enjoy the support of their people?

The circumstances surrounding Buhari ascendancy of Nigerian presidency are so different that I was shocked at your effort to draw parallelism. Buhari won presidential election at the fourth attempt. Mugabe has been there for eons. As crooked as Nigeria's democracy is, there has been a transition of power from one leader to another within the same political party, and from a ruling to an opposition party. So there is an obvious progress and that's what the world is celebrating, not that it's perfect. Even if the same clique has been ruling Nigeria for years, we can say a faction of that clique lost power recently. It doesn't matter if half of APC are from PDP, the obvious truth is there're losers in the last election. So where is the similarity? Look at democratic trends the world over, the recycling of elites isn't a Nigerian exception or deviation. We are gearing for another round of Clinton-Bush tango, not so? It's not the recycling that is even the problem but the quality and competence of folks being recycled. There is nothing hypocritical in calling out a bad leader.

journalistic rascality . . . . . . but on second thoughts. . . . good for Mugabe. . . . .

that's what we should be doing to Old African rulers who don't want to retire like Mugabe and Buhari

Really proud of this! This is the job of the press, ask the tough question to governement officials not be lapdogs and sell their service for money.

Well done Sahara Reporters!

Trouble makers. They could have been polite and respectful about it. That's what professionals to. Being able to ask tough questions professionally earns journalists respect.
Where is Zuma sef showed they were more interested in harassing these leaders than getting honest answers.

Total lack of mannerism by sahara reporters. What a stupidd way conduct to oneself as a reporter seeking answers to germane questions, a behaviour reminiscence of toutish madnesss. shey Zimbabwe send una and again one of the stupidd guy was asking 'where is dat Zuma self' as if he no know his way to SA.

Journalism isn't about heckling and harassing dignitaries, especially leaders, at an event. There's a place and time for everything. And is he a diplomat or Nigerian politician? That's the leader of a sovereign country, and if they (sahara "primitive" reporters) have "pertinent questions" to ask him, they should wait till he's on a working visit to Nigeria, when he's taking questions from the journalists - not the plebeian way devoid of any professionalism they went about it. Even during the annual UN summit in New York, with all kinds of leaders in attendance - do you see journalists act the way these uncivilised oafs acted in that video? They look so crude it's not even funny. Anyway, sahara reporter is more or less a paparazzi medium that deals with gossips...so it shouldn't be shocking. My bad for taking that rogue news paparazzi outlet seriously.

He shared power with Tsvangirai because of external pressure, and Mandela was influential in that deal. If majority of Zimbabweans had a problem with him, especially with the millions of dollars both the UK and US keep pumping into that country to support an uprising - there would have been an uprising there time ago. However, there has been none - and to ordinary Zimbabweans, he's better than what the opposition has to offer. Yes, he has stayed in power for too long - but can you expatiate on how he brought Zimbabwe to its knees, and not the crippling sanctions imposed by western countries due to land issues?

Erm, let me correlate Nigeria under GEJ with Zimbabwe, to buttress my point. GEJ was a terrible leader, far worse than Mugabe. However, based on ya logic, the fact that there was no uprising during GEJ's scandalous regime means that the people were suppressed, no? And despite how terrible GEJ was, didn't he have popular support from two sections of the country, and a decent amount of sympathisers in two other regions? Now, correlate that with Zimbabwe and Mugabe's Shona ethnic group (in which he enjoys popular support), who make up about 82% of the country's population. When you do that, you'll see why he keeps winning elections in that country, hence I asked if you have an understanding of how Zimbabwe's politics work.

Buhari won an election, just as Mugabe keeps winning election in Zimbabwe. However, I correlated the two because Buhari once ruled Nigeria as a dictator, and he's part of the same bandits who have been ruling the country post civil war. And the same folks are still the power-brokers in the country - the untouchables. Ditto the recycling of the same politicians from one party to the other since 1999. So how is that different? Different faces, but the same old story.

Anyway, you just added credence to my argument about the farce that "democracy" is with the Bush-Clinton dynasty in America. Then again, America isn't a democracy - it's a constitutional republic. In "democracy" you just have to keep going with what the majority want, and the majority in Zimbabwe are the Shona people, hence he stays winning. That's the same reason why Angela Merkel has been ruling Germany since 2005, and she might end up ruling Germany till she dies cos there's no term limit for German Chancellor. So you'll agree with me that Mugabe is no different from these other folks albeit his only crime is that he ought to keep changing the faces of the puppets, and fall back into the background as the puppet-master, no?

P.S: the world isn't celebrating anything, the last election was won and lost based on the natural fault lines in Nigeria that have been there since the country was created. They just wanted regime change for reasons I don't want to digress to, and they got it. Only Nigerians are caught up in their own delusions. Yes, he should perform far better than GEJ (anyone will), but it's going to be window-dressing - with no fundamental change in the systematic structural defects plaguing the country. same ol same ol.
