Reading the comments here further buttresses my conviction that you dont do anything good for Niggerians. In fact if I see the average niggerian on fire I wont piss on him to save his life.
This man is filming most likely looking for something to point out so the govt can do something about it. Una dey here dey abuse am. Meanwhile if there is something wrong in the airport that needs fixing the same people will come out and be insulting the govt. Shithole logic
Exactly. The only reason Nigeria remains a sh,thole country is our gullibility. Citizens are not ready for changes. We are okay with whatever conditions we are subjected to. We will only get better when we start pushing our limits.

[Qquote author=Myself2 post=69694035]So this is the immature rabble rouser someone said wants to be president??
Bloody attention seeker, who doesn't know that you don't take photos or film places designated as security zones in Nigeria, even NPA ,go there and film and see what happens.
This scumbag just wants the attention to boost his views on YouTube to make more money.Shame on you Sowore, you are fraudulent[/quote]It's obvious you commented before thinking


Since when did a public airport become a security zone


Don't digress, we are talking of airport here and not NPA


I see hate in you...

If you had a quarter of Sowore bravery and courage....your life would have been better than it is


Just try to expose corrupt politicians in this country....let's see if you can survive a day


Go and look for your own popularity so u can also get YouTube views and stop the hate.


Sowore has paid his dues and is certainly not a pushover at all

it was this same Abuja international airport i was reading a story about on TELL magazine. In the story an Air France plane was on top speed on the runway and from nowhere a fulani herdsman appeared suddenly from nowhere with his herds of cattle on the runway.it took the expertise and vigilance of the french pilot to avoid a collision with the cows. Nigeria is a wonderful and funny country.
Exactly. 9ja has deep issues menh.

I am not saying Sowore will become president in 2019 but these your grassroot talk is bullshit.
So much talked about Sowore protesting against the military governnment. Lemme ask you just this one question. In this present dispensation, what is Sowore doing to alleviate the suffering of the masses. I mean, point at some social responsibilities Sowore is fulfilling that you think has impacted positively to the betterment of at least, a good number of commoners. It's not just about being in an administrative position. You can make impact without being in power.

I just love this Sowere guy. I listened to his interview on speed FM last saturday. He sounds intelligent and knows whats on about on naija politics. This is the type of person we will need at the helm of affairs and not Buhari or Atiku who dont know their left from their right...and besides he belongs to the younger generation.
Right? I don't understand why Nigerian youths can't see that this is our way out.

When I said the we are not too young to run but majority of us are not Mature to lead some people called me names.... this is a typical example of an immature youth
If we were all 'immature' and if we all stood our grounds to fight for our rights, maybe he wouldn't even have to take a flight from Abj to Kano because we would have fast trains offering the same service at a cheaper rate.

Maybe if we were all as 'immature', our representatives would represent us better and ensure that Nigerians are given the best of healthcare, the best of roads, uninterrupted power supply and world class education.

Maybe if were all as 'immature', Sowore would not even see the need to be vying for office in the first place because Nigeria would be the Nigeria of our dreams and he'll be able to continue fighting for the voiceless through his media outfit.

Just maybe.

But we all have to be 'mature', don't we?

hmm u might have a point on that though. Ppl tend to pretend when they want to get into a position. And yes... If someone wants to serve the ppl he should from the grassroot. Like obama, b4 he became a president he was involved in grassroot politics before he became a senator then eventually the president. U dont just jump at the top like that. U start from the ground. He ought to have aspired for the local govt position or aspired for the house of reps. Look at nollywood actor kanayo o. Kanayo. That one is going for house of reps. If he wins and performs well in his constituency he could go for the governorship position in his state and maybe later the presidency. Na small small dem dey do am. Sowere is kinder impatient but from his utturances he seems to be totally disapointed in the current presidency and feels d younger generation ought to go for it and put naija on track.
Exactly bro.....I wish him best though.

Sowore is enlightening people and working tirelessly to free them from mental shackles


He is exposing the deep rot in government


It is a very noble and dangerous work to do


If you think it's not....just try it and see


So you think empowering people is by sharing money only?


Working to free your fellow man from mental slavery is one of the greatest task anyone can undertake


Now let's come to your Buhari. ....since he left power in 1985....tell me one noble project he ever embark upon


He didn't even developed himself by going back to school, he never started even a pure water factory to employ his village kinsmen or a school to educate the young ones



All Buhari went about was talking about how the sharia movement must spread across the whole Nigeria and threatening to soak people in blood after Nigerians rejected him at the polls

Since you asked for it, have it:

He got a grant from the McArthur Foundation and came to Nigeria to set up an extension of his Media outfit, an extension that would have immediately employed at least 15 people. Read the story and find out what happened bro. There's a lot of information out there.

Sowore is wrong.

He was actually making a video of the airport and when asked to stop he lied and said he was making a video of himself and live streaming it.

The people who spoke to him were airport security personnel who probably had a security issue at the point and asked him politely initially to stop but he became unusually sturborn and forced them to shove him a bit then he switched the screen and attempted to catch their ID cards and names on the video.

Nigerians should learn to first obey set authority. Yes anybody can make a video while on the tarmac but perhaps that day was an exception.

Nigeria is experiencing some security issues at these times so nobody knows who might be an informant.

Imagine making a video of the tarmac and passing it on to terrorists or bad people as video proof of the parts of the tarmac with security lapses or through one can easily gain access to the tarmac and once one gains access to the tarmac then anything can be planted on planes.

He was just being unnecessarily unruly.
So to you Sowore is an informant. SMH
Thats the problem with this shithole. People do things for the sake of doing things. They cant point to any tangible result that action brpught about. There are security issues. Are they the police? no. What steps have been taken to tackle the security challenges ? None. But a man who is well known whom the DSS are definitely observing ( I beleive they should) is the one who is now the security challenge. Same way the average shithole soldier will be beating civilians for wearing camo saying its for security reasons meanwhile the real criminals are there rocking camo to commit mischief and even showing off. He wont tackle that one.
SMH

I'm still trying to understand how being president can overwhelm someone who is better equipped for the office (in all aspects by the way) than Buhari, if Buhari himself thinks he can still run for a second term. Donald Trump, in charge of over 300 million people, still finds the time to go golfing so what will be overwhelming about running Nigeria if you have a good cabinet and each member handles their responsibilities as expected?

Oga mi, was he live-streaming from any barracks? This is a public airport, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed access to start with.

If those airport staff could go this far, because of the hi-viz vests they were putting on, imagine how quickly the situation would've escalated if they had arms.

We don't yet know our real problems in 9ja.

Sowore. Always aggressive. Personally too uncouth and full of unbridled n untamed tendencies for my liking. Can't vote him. Need someone more calm headed n wise not one with some one with too much fire that will make haste n I don't send decisions. But what do I know.

Anyway, I think banning filming at d airport is due to security reasons.

I personally don't see the 'uncouthness' from him in the video. He asked for any official proof that it is wrong to live-stream within the airport and they couldn't produce any. They talked about calling their boss and the CSO but none of that happened.

If boko haram needs an elaborate video of the airport, they can get (in 4k quality sef) from the herdsmen who take their cattle to graze in the airport.

I don't see how fighting for one's right translates to making hasty decisions though, but to each his own.

Our problem in Nigeria is lack of education and Stupidity. Also, things are not clearly defined and since law enforcement collects bribes or do clear favoritism which we all encourage anyways, all these things will go on. Now lets look at this matter critically, that is the tarmac, i have been in so many countries, if for any reason you disembark from the tarmac in any airport all over the world, there are security everywhere directing you to the interior of the airport. You can film/video etc the arrival/departure/baggage claim areas, these are all public areas but not the tarmac and runways without permission. Now, law enforcement is telling him to stop and move and he is saying do not touch me and arguing with them. Can he try that in the USA where he is based? if you refuse to obey, you are arrested period. In this case. Sowore is wrong. We ourselves are always causing wahala, this guy tells you to move and that you cannot video here and all you have to do is ask to speak with a superior officer or something to ask permission.

Watch the video again, you'll hear him say "they don't want the world to see the decadence in their airport". I wasnt there and he didn't explain to me, but it's called drawing inferences from a context, which you should know of you have any form of education sir.
