Omudia11:
That's why your people are on death row in many countries. Smh!!

gurunlocker:
Obviously, there are some politicians using these guys to cause atrocities!

gidgiddy:
So you dont know how intended to overthrow the government with no arms but what you people are interested in is he said that will do this? So in essence, Sowore was arrested for talking? So if someone says they want to 'bundle Buhari out of power', this is grounds for arrest?

That is truly terrible. We are in a democracy but people are being chased about because of utterance rather than substance. It's time to admit that it is no longer democracy but dictatorship. If people start getting arrested for what they said instead what they did then that society has taken 20 steps back.

Here we go again. Please, let's stop with these manipulation of words. Someone calls for peaceful protest to demonstrate and create awareness about the common struggle of Nigerian citizens. Everybody understands what is expected of them; they are expected to show up, walk the streets and carry placards that showcase insecurities, poverty, herdsman menace, nepotism, religious intolerance, corruption and other injustices that continue to ravage our country. How does this equates to overthrowing the government? How does this equates to act of terrorism? I'm even more surprised at the character of the people writing these propaganda. Let's not destroy our unborn children's future by selling our conscience for 1 naira.

When things are these bad in our country, do we just sit idle and do nothing? Do we continue to allow these political elites to use fear, divide and conquer as an instrument to cloud our judgement from speaking the truth and acting according to the yearning of the masses? How do we call our thieving political elites to order? How do we effect and affect change for the common man? Let's remember the words of Haile Selassie of blessed memories, "Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of voice of justice when it mattered the most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph".

Enough of all these propaganda.The time for action to protest against all injustices ravaging our dear country is now. Let's not sell our conscience for a bowl of porridge. Let's take a stand and support this peaceful protest.

"I'm not talking of protest. I'm embarking on revolution. 85% of Nigerians are in support. Don't tell me about legal implications or what a Judge will say. I don't care. We must bundle Buhari out of that place...." ~ Sowore

for an offence that allegedly did not carry the death penalty.

gidgiddy:
The question then is how does an unarmed Sowore "forcibly overthrow government"?

Is it possible for an unarmed group to change a government that has a police force, standing Army, Navy and Airforce?

gidgiddy:
The oxford dictionary defines revolution as~

1)The forcible overthrow of a government

2)The change of a social order in favour of a new system

3) An instance of revolving

Supporters of Buhari rushed for the first definition without realising that Sowore was about definition 2

What sort of foolish person believes that an unarmed Sowore wants to overthrow Government? How is it even possible to overthrow a government while being unarmed?

GMbuharii:
Just as you are the 1st to use abusive words even when talking to yourself... please stay off the market square,thank you

mrvitalis:
The truth about nigeria is this

1) the government have enough to steal

2) the middle and upper class citizens are not really taxed so dont really see the need to speak up

3) the poor are too hungry and disconnected to speak up

Until the average nigerian pay up 1000 dollars in tax
a year there wont be the nigerian of our dreams

An effective taxing system would make the middle class speak up , since they cant he bribed the government would listen

90% of the middle and 98% of the upper class are from the south east...we cant pay tax for uneducated northerner to control ( this is the single reason south east has low IGr )

myfan:
The answer is simple

escodotman:
History don't lie and remembers everyone accordingly. Buhari would be remembered as the worst president of Nigeria since independence.

During Buhari's time;
Economy became worst ever
Insecurity became worst ever
Unemployment became worst ever
Poverty became worst ever (even his follow Northerners were the most hit)
INEC became an arm of the APC
Senate became a rubber-stamp
Rewarding crooks and corrupt people after joining APC
Unlawful arrests and illegal detention the order of the day
Disobedience to the courts
Tribalism, bigotry, ethnicism were the benchmark of his government.

One thing is for sure, Buhari won't remain on the seat for ever.

The set of people Nigerians should feel sorry for are the ones still cheering him on despite his obvious failures.
