Punch Newspaper is right in addressing this administration as a ' regime'..

All shades of 1984 is back in full force..

Maybe we should expect ' Decree 4' in disguise now..

It is not well with Nigeria!

Not at all....

What do you think that social media and hate speach bills are ? Compare the intent in the 80s and now then you will see it's decree 4 all over

can you listen to yourself and how selfish a soul can be,many people made it too and you think you are save? When the economy dwindled the result will be felt by masses , the securities will be compromised and you are not save from kidnapping , robbers and many things that will like to make living from yours illegally. Bro reason before you type.

Trust me with the kind of dull akamu and Low IQ in his brain he made nothing .

Sterope:
What did Sowore did against Jonathan that he hasn't fone against Buhari since he was elected?

[s]I don't think you people use your brains at all.[/s]

Dont be sentimental, read my comments again.

banned! @Sterope

The primitive idiots don't know that free speech can never be quenched. Their day of reckoning is at hand.

Interesting
According to PUNCH, its Buhari regime. Nice. Also, add Major General Buhari, it would be nice too.
Other print media also need to be bold and publish theirs.

Jestin:
Buhari is a mistake

I dont think so. No serious country make mistake of who become the President. It's those that voted for him that is the mistake.

Sowore must go down...We must scatter his life the way he wants to scatter Nigeria

See ehn...am beginning to think that this government are working for Iran

Who out there in NL land wants to step-up and lead the #RevolutionNow movement now that Mr. Sowore in on ice?

Beosten:
My own understanding of 'freeze' is to keep someone's money in a cooler until when you're through with watery beans meals in a correctional facility. So, we gat no problem here.

They keep shouting that the government is bad, but I made it in 2016 after graduating from the uni in 2011.

You do realize the part in bold makes absolutely zero sense, yes??!... How does your making it (whatever that even means) correlate with the effectiveness of the present regime, especially in the face of millions faring far worse??!...

Please, what school did you graduate from in 2011??!... I need to write NUC.

There was a country... Karma is a bitch and irresistible. Sowore enjoy the change you propagated.

This line is already stale and overused... Come up with something less obtuse.

A reformed Democrat indeed.... We were unable to learn from our past so it has come to haunt us

This almajiri is ranting here. Ode

Romanoff:


what about the ones suffering and smiling, the masses, the educated and enlightened masses who should be speaking out?

The youths are the problem of this country, they are misguided and their priorities are misplaced, this Is evident in the attention they pay to frivolities.

uzohrome:

You people don't understand that this is not about sowore,it concerns all of us,don't wait till you are dealt a direct blow before you start standing for the truth.

NaijadrivaCars:


One part of me don't pity Sowore for all he did against Jonathan and is now reaping the fruits of his actions, while the other part says, "whatever happens to democracy and freedom of speech".

Either way, I am undecided



Every journalist/blogger should be concerned.
Expect wahala for Punch for speaking out soonest.

Even if sowore is a con-artist with no real intention but attention and opportunity, what's at stake outweighs his personality, as always, is good leadership and we all have a role to play.

Beosten:


Government policy contributed to my success. Next...

I have equally done well for myself... But, that doesn't make it right to pretend or act like all is well with the country, especially in the face of tyranny, economic decline, decreased presence of investors, increasing taxation with no visible development, etc...

The issue under discourse is one that affects all... the nation is being made a laughing stock among nations due to disregard of judicial directives... Sowore's case is just one too many.

People bickering at Sowore like they never made a wrong turn in their lives.

At least of all the million Nigerians that voted the dictator, even you, he's lived up to righting the wrong by speaking out.

Mind you, pre 2015 general elections, Nigeria was a mess and Jonathan wasn't in full control.

In retrospect, though, he is better than Buhari. At least he had full regard for the rule of law.

Na laugh I dey laugh

That part above makes no sense na... Jonathan did worse to himself than Sowore could ever have done... If the Otuoke man had taken a cue from his predecessors, and led the nation properly and even a little less corruptly, Sowore would not have had much arsenal to tackle him.

Maybe you don't understand the concept of democracy (I sense most of you Africans don't have a clue)... Donald Trump is facing faring far worse in the hands of the press than Buhari and his morons are, yet how many of them are in jail or being persecuted in any form??!...

You guys should wake up and start using your brains. It won't hurt, I promise.

I dont exonerate the failure of leaders we have.

if u asked the idiot now how much he made it might be one "tashere" change, there are people who made a hundred times of what he made but are still speaking out against the oppressive tendencies of this dictatorial administration.

shogsman:

A friend of mine has seized opportunity with the current situation in Nigeria to apply for asylum in the US under grounds that Nigerian has become dictatorship nation and he and his family are not safe to live here where they are not free to speak without being arrested

These people are above the Constitution of this country... just above the same laws that should guide us to make us a sane country.

stop your mumuness,

Can your made it supply electricity even as we playbills

How will that end SARS harassment
Can that reduce the price of rice or will that fix all the bad roads that tax is being paid for destroying people car, how will straighten the bend law ? Country is hard , too hard

shadeyinka:

You won't understand, I am not hailing Buhari and his government for the incarceration they carried out on sowore. I condemn it with all sincerity. But sometimes it's optimal to be rational and speak the truth with conscience. He did help to bring Buhari to power by using his media outlets, now he is facing it because by then he thought he was doing Nigerian good. In life two things are involved. Either you enjoy the good or you face the bad. This will teach him lessons. He went ahead to call for revolution and attempt to take over the government. But since this is a bailable offense he should be released. Lesson learned in a hard way...
