bro dis is wer d problem is.our leaders hav so frustrated us that we can't even stand for our right any more.where is the right place to air one's view other than right there?didn't u watch the obama video where he was trying to explain himself to young people in the US and one of them obstructed him between the lines,and when the security wanted taking him out he ordered them not to stating that he had every right to air his views.now thats a Leader.anyways sahara reporters are reaping what they've sown.

Na your type dey receive better slap from police hand finish then come begin cry for Nairaland o...

The whole issue started with a write-up...
I still believe write-ups to the right quarters with proper follow-up will end this and not a physical confrontation...

Nonsense. SO THE AUTHORITY SHOULD SIT DOWN AND GIVE HIM MICROPHONE TO LAMBAST THEM WHILE SOWORE WILL BEGIN DO THE WORK OF CAMERAMAN. AND ALL OF YOU HIA WOULD BEGIN TO HAIL HIM ABI.
WHAT IS A RUSTICATED DOING DIA SELF

hahahaha.....i get ur point bro.but where in the constitution was it stated where,when and how one can express his/her feelings?what makes nigeria different from other law abiding country is this.our lack of respect for the rule of law.just face it the way it is.what makes you feel he has not been other means to pass his message.for him to have gone this far it shows other mediums have not worked.nigeria is just a zoo.so one cannot express his view anyway he can as far as its not intruding into someone else's right?ok kontinew

The events at UNILAG have nothing to do with Buhari. Intact the fact that Sowore is walking free on the streets of Lagos is testament to the difference between Jonathan and Buhari. Under Jonathan, Sowore would have been arrested right at the airport by the DSS, like they did to one of Sowore's writers Mr okey Ndibe during Jonathan's time. Despite the fact that Sahara reporters regularly accuses the DG of the DSS of corruption, the DSS hasn't as much as laid a finger on him. It is the PDP agents that are going after Journalists. The laolu guy that fought with Sowore last week was accused by Sahara reporters of laundering money for FFK. FFK and his people mobilised to embarrass Sowore if he stepped foot in Lagos. That is exactly what happened.
I read that other boys post on Facebook. The VC or the governing council of a school has no right to expel or rusticate a student based on a Facebook post. That's tyrannical. Again this had nothing to do with Buhari. Sowore accompanied the student to protest his rustication during the convocation and the police was naturally invited to prevent them from disrupting the event. They were later framed and arrested for trying to harm the VC which is a lie.

After reading your reply that my comment even started making me laugh too o...


Madman carry your cloth from bathhouse run no mean say you go commot naked pursue am nah...


Now see where the whole thing is going; compounding issues for the guy the more because all schools in Nigeria issues certificates "in learning and in character"...
Where you wan mark or assess this kind behavior when it comes to "in character" even if the guy was 99.9% good "in learning"...

Some of the actions of Sowore are quite awkward. If you want to fight for a student whom you think has unjustly been treated, go to court and seek redress. Coming to the venue of convocation to create a scene will not help matters. Activism should be done with common sense.

I don't know much, but I find it awkward that we will expect the university authorities to see a rusticated student at an official event and not call security to evict him.....

I have seen journalists beaten and maltreated than this. What's the whole noise about.

Maybe there was nothing like DSS and EFCC during Oga Jona's regime.

Maybe they went for a vigil during that period

Maybe Oga Jona was too good to allow people their freedom of speech.

Maybe, just maybe we are not practicing democratic government anymore.

they must keep quiet and face their music. they called GEJ all manners of names, they were a major propaganda vehicle that brought us into this mess.

Rogues!!!

People should not be afraid of their governments, the Government should be afraid of their people. The people have so much powers; powers which they themselves are unaware that they possess. They have the powers to demand account of their nations resources, they have the powers to ask questions and ensure their governments act in ways that are geared towards the interests of the people. The people should be selfish, that is their job. The position of a country’s citizens, is the highest position that can be occupied, because of these powers.
But why are we quiet? Why are we distracted? We know a people deserves the government it has, but we are a good people and we deserve better, so are we not talking to this government to let them know we are watching?
A lot of us passionately supported the emergence of this present government. I am ashamed to say, we believed that this administration will bring about positive change which we so desperately needed. But what did we get? We were very wrong. I am sorry. But this is not a time to cast blames, this is a time for action.
Soldiers and other armed government officials now terrorize us with impunity, and it is getting worse. Corruption, nepotism in government, anti-people policies, increase in cost of living, rise in unemployment, and a host of other plagues we have had to deal with. Insecurity fuelled by poverty has increased. The current leadership of this country has sunk us deeper into a mess which will take close to a decade to repair. I used to be against secession and the drums of separation beaten by the IPOB. But now we see they have legitimate reasons to want to separate from the rest of us; especially since the rest of us have become docile and blind. Common commodities have become luxury, and businesses are closing up and businessmen have become beggars. Schools are being shut, and the governor are asking students to do their worst. Power Holding companies extort us for what we don’t use. Companies oppress theie employees because they know we don’t have alternatives. Nigeria has become an example of a failed nation, while the international community use us as butt of jokes.
The country’s security operatives have now become terrorists to the people. The Nigerian Government’s highhandedness has become the order of the day, and those who have the passion to resist, and tell the truth are arrested and tortured, and in many instances killed, while the rest of us do nothing.
And so while we kept quiet as Nnamdi Kanu was prosecuted, as Judges, Journalists and opposing politicians were arrested and persecuted, and peaceful protesters murdered in broad day light, it was only a little while before it drew closer to home. If you don’t speak today, I will not speak when it happens to you, and we both will die in our silence. If we don’t speak now, they will see us as foolish and only relevant when time for election comes. We are not foolish.
So what should we do? Should we continue fighting each other on religion, tribe and other frivolities, forgetting that a dictator has only his interest at heart? Should we continue to be distracted and pretend we don’t care or we don’t know? Should we keep quiet while
Tuface Idibia has called us to join him on the 5th of February, and we should answer. I suggest we adopt the 5th of February as a date to remind the government that we are not stupid; that we are watching and even though we are poor and unarmed, we are not weak. That we will not be divided under party or tribal lines while they rob us of our common wealth. We should publicize this date and all come out on the 5th of February and together we shall give our oppressors a day to remember.

Too bad.... Now everyone will blame the actions on pmb.. The overzealous security men trying to impress the vc have only turned around to mess things up.. You dont try to mess with people like sahara reporters, they will eventually bring you down.... The truth is sahara reporters contributed to GEJ defeat thanks to all the online publications and jonathan never harrased them , ... The video will surely trend and the school management will issue statements but in all sahara reporters will laugh last...

myqel:
There's more to this story...Sahara reporter should pls tell us what is exactly going on


I watched the video and truthfully, I had to pity Sowore, am sure he never expected something like this when he was supporting the tyrannical dullard...Karma is truly a biitch

He supported the attempt by a Rusticated Student who wanted to disrupt Unilag graduation Ceremony. What should the security men have done? Allow them? Just because he is Sahara Reporters? Do the other graduands not have a right to a peaceful milestone ceremony.

If the rusticated student felt aggrieved, he should have gone to court. Disruption of Lawful assembly and Threat to public peace are punishable offences by law

How can someone be disrupting a legal proceeding as a convocation because you a Sowore or a journalist. There are many journalists there and sis not behave in a manner as that!.

As a matter of fact, there were more protesters than supporters during Donald Trump's inauguration and the protesters never disrupted nor approach the podium to show their grievance.

Why didn't Sowore mobilize a large crowd with placards all around the campus and auditorium if he has anything to say. Or he should kukuma use his internet and other platforms to showcase his opinion.

Idiaaaaaaaaats .... Make them go handle herdsmen like that na

If u see my papa hossanna tell am say o hossanna i dey for lagos O yes

This guy that was busy writing so many bullcrap against the previous government all because of thief-nubu and bull-hari enjoyed "freedom of speech" to the fullest. Now, he's being rewarded "handsomely".

You kids of today should learn a little history before writing crap all over cyber space. Sowore has been a firebrand student activist since the days of the military. Nobody sponsored him to oppose military rule and nobody sponsored him to expose the rot in the Jonathan governments. The same thing he did during Jonathan's time is what he's doing now. So tell me, who is sponsoring him now?

He went to Unilags convocation to fight for the right of a Nigerian citizen who was unfairly rusticated for criticising the university senate. People like you who have never fought for any just cause in your life will still come here and write shiit just because one ineffectual buffoon lost an election. Such a shame.
