Sowere and other youths lack what I will call political wisdom eg. Okoracha's trick. And many more.

I am surprised and even ashamed that he sowere will just want to grab the bull by the horn... After watching the game ceaselessly.. now tell me ask an average Nigerian who Sowere is?

To be honest we can't pin point of his achievements in human development in the Nigerian society.

Okay he owns Sahara reporter
Okay he was unilag student union leader
Okay he was part of many of Abiola's follower..
Okay a self titled activist with zero impact

Please who is sowere again? He is no different from the people we see who talks without a tangible impact in the society at large.

Now tell me.. how do we trust him to deliver Nigeria?

To be honest we don't know.

So who is sowere again... He is truly nobody who we don't care to know for now.

Perhaps until he start doing few things starting from his locality then we can trust him and sing his name all over Nigeria.

The problem is not from the top alone, the top and bottom are one and the same. The top did not come from the moon.

The only way people like Sowore or Hashim could become president of Nigeria today is through a REVOLUTION.

Otherwise, the system of education must be good enough such that it can produce NEW breed of people who would replace the top. If education does not improve, you cannot improve anything!.

A nation cannot develop more than the system and standard of education they have.

You just proved religion and tribalism is our problem in this country, but I don’t blame you, I blame those dinosaurs in power.

oilyngbati:
The question you should be asking is “why are yorigba yoots not supporting sowOLE?” Why are yuroba dying over buhari?
And with with regards to tribalism and religion, it was awolowoe that introduced tribalism into Nigerian politics. An Igbo man named Zik won the election in western region, but awolowoe convinced his other afonjas to deny Zik the right to lead western region.
Also, awolowoe introduced religion into Nigerian politics when he discriminated against youruba Muslims. When awolowoe was leading the afonjas, he only appointed youruba Christians into top positions. The likes of adeniran ogunsanya, adekunle ajasin were all Yoruba Christians.
This actions of awolowoe maltreating yoruoba muslims was why S.L Akintola (a yorigba muslim) aligned with the Islamic North to imprison awolowoe.
Today, tinubu is a Yoruba muslim who is marginalizing yprouba christians. No yoruoba Christian is in any top position on youruba land today.

Dear unintelligent Nigerian, nobody said marijuana is not generating income cos it is, even in Nigeria.
The point is a country like Nigeria lacks the proper orientation of use of the commodity, we also lack necessary resources to monitor and control crime that potentially may arise from legalising it, there is no standard health service ( Rehabs, psychiatric hospitals) in place for users that potentially will be affected.
Until we are able to do these things, marijuana will not be legalised. And if your still not convinced, go and call police!

A wise man once said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I just went on a Sowore marathon watching his rally and interviews.

And i am worried and concerned why this man is not on every youth lips.

We can’t keep changing oppressors every four four years. Repeat play repeat play and expect a different result. Our current president is not eloquent enough, he never does any media interview, you can barely understand him anyway. But to have Ghost President who doesn’t even address sensitive issues about his nation is a slap in our faces, how long can we continue to live like this.

I’m sure Atiku can borrow the same manifesto Obasanjo used in 1999 because there is hardly anything that has fully accomplished since then.

You might say what experience does he have to become a president why not start from somewhere. And I will answer that with two examples. Nelson Mandela was an activist before he went to prison and came back
to become president of South Africa he had prior experience in any political office I think the rest his history. Second example Barack Obama, he was regarded as a community organiser though he was a senator for 6 months. He stabilised America not because he was a former senator but because he was a man of character. And if experience matter so much Obasanjo and Buhari were both head of state in 1976 and 1983 respectively. And I’m sure how we all know how it went when they became the president, so much for their experience.

The problem of Nigeria is at the top and that is where we should send some with brand new ideals too.

It’s really mind boggling that there are some youth who still believe this old heads with analog thinking.

We need a young man with fresh and innovative ideas, enough of this old heads who do not have our best interest at heart.

I urge you all you google and read about his promises for Nigeria and how he intends to implement them, so that this post won’t be to long for you to read.

And if any of you still think this old dinosaur are the best for the job then so be it however any hardship, suffering and misery inflicted on your life would be very well deserved.

Frankyboy1:
Because majority of them are foolish! In all sincerity the best candidate for presidency is Ezekwisili, like Angela Merkel of Germany in four years, she will turn around and radicalise the political terrain of Nigeria, she has experience,zeal,passion,intelligence,patriotism and honesty! Coming behind her is Sowore, a revolutionalised and youthful candidate, he will change the order of things, and will put the common man first!
But we choose between old aged dying Bubu, and corrupt laden atiku with PDP waiting with open arms to replunder our treasuries! What a pity! Hopefully Buhari wins, dies after few months and Osibanjo continues, I have some level of unreserved faith in him and peter obi, as against their principals!

omega2128:
just like Abraham Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

most of Nigerians are still in lowest level- ready to sell their votes, or attend campaign to get 1k to buy food. Sowore can not do this
Buhari and Atiku can tell billions of naira they must have spent so far

I ask myself,
WHY PDP CAN NOT FIELD SOWORE OR FELA DUROTOYE, GIVE FULL BACKING AND CONVENIENTLY TAKE POWER FROM DEMONIC APC.

PreciousJuice:
The likes of sowore and Durotoye coming out to contest the presidency is a good indication that the youths will eventually take the wheels of this country from the Ancestors ruling us like its their birth right.
However, none of these young aspirants have what it takes to get this nation back on its feet at the moment.
Imagine sowore telling us he will legalise marijuana use to generate income , that is a catastrophic move in a fragile country like ours, things will definitely go out of control, legalising marijuana use is not the solution to our problems, it will only add more. For this reasons and many more let these young chaps keep contesting until the good old chaps get us back in the right track, then we can vote young minds to ensure we remain on the right path. Shalom.

How do you know he doesn't have any experience in leadership? If he have no experience in leading at all he wouldn't get to where he is today.......You have to understand you don't have to get close to your grave or be a king before you understand life and people and have what it take to rule, We have 20 years old men that are wiser that 70 years old men, someone that haven't rule before can surpass someone that have been ruling for so many years. Where someone stop is where some one else start, life is complicated like that stop acting like you know everything

Nice write up. However, the devil we know is better than the angel we do not know. I re-collect Okorocha and Fayose declaring their intent to be president of Nigeria. It's very interesting that their performance as governors is enough of a Lesson to us all to ensure that such men should always be avoided.

It is unfair on Nigerian youths for Sowore to show up and spew up desperate though laudable promises without showing any 'skin in the game'. My people say that it sounds sweet and easy to cook vegetable by simply describing the process.

Sowore should learn the ropes and be tested on a smaller stage like the Barrack Obama you referred to who went to the Senate and even George Weah of Liberia learned the ropes too.

If you jump up, you will definitely come down. But if you grow up, you will stay there.

oilyngbati:
Another treacherous afonja lies. SowOLE never fought for no GEJ. He has always been a slave to the caliphate, like all other afonja muslim before him.

because he does not have any leadership experience, or do you think ruling a more multi cultural and dynamic country like Nigeria with different religions is the same with owning a news media in USA ?

Let us face d reality now, fine sowore is young , active and vibrant but to speak d truth d guy(sowore) cannot win because election in Nigeria is money..not just money I mean huge amount of money and if u know u know u know...Nigeria has not gotten to dat stage where u will convince d masses on d kind of agenda u have for d country without backing it up with money and material thin....

bantudra:
i think sowore doesnt understand how to play nigerian politics....

buhari had to first win over heavywheights like obansanjo to even have a chance sef....

theoldpretender:
So why are we not voting for Sowore...

Because, let's be honest, Sowore does not have the support that he needs to become President.

Outside Lagos, Abuja and some other Nigerian cities , how many people know Sowore? Or the other Nigerian candidates.

The truth is, in politics, there is no such thing as a perfect candidate. If you want things to change in Nigeria...vote for Atiku (yes, I have said it, and I hate myself for saying it, and personally, I won't be voting for any PDP or APC candidate)...because at the end of the day, we have 4 years to get rid of him if he does not perform.

And if Atiku's replacement does not perform, we vote them out, and keep on doing so, until the elite and the leaders see we mean business...then things will improve.

And most of us talking...how many of us are agitating for the candidates of the other small parties,like SDP, YPP, et al.? We all sit down, moan about how bad things are...then go and vote for the same old same old...and pretend we did it in Nigeria's interest.

Ah well....either way, Nigeria is in for a long and gloomy time till we wake up.

Your comment is all over the place. What is your position?

Will you personally vote for Sowore? If not, why?

Nigerians are just Stupid...... they keep assuming he would be bad and keep listing excuses not to vote him.....They will rather pick all these old men that have failed Nigerians and Destroy Nigeria than to give a Youth a Chance....... I think most of these people that are commenting are not Youths ...... Some Nigerians are just jealous and Don't want Any Youth to Head them and control them that's why you see most of those elders and old men going against youths all the time, they never support us and believe in us
