If asked about America, the American government will deny you their VISA lol 😂. If you talk negatively. Perhaps citing examples of how Trump was almost assassinated and how a recent assassination has sparked outrage yet, the culprits yet to be apprehended.

It depends on what we want to relate to people as the views by foreigners about Nigeria. Hence, a filtered content.

What office of authority does "Obi of Lagos" occupy in Lagos state. Or is there any title of Obi of Lagos in Lagos state? Who is he impersonating?

Obi of Lagos is just the name his friends and business associates know him with. It's just a nickname like "Edu brazil" Ifeanyi Malaysia " chukwudi South , "Ebuka Cyprus" and many more

Impersonating?! He wants to make himself above all of them put together.

So what does 'OBI OF LAGOS' mean?!

ibechris:
After attending many unbelievable burial ceremonies...I have personally reduce how i stress about life.

This is a sign that nothing last forever.

Those you attended their burial lived a life, very possible a fulfilled life, worth living. That's all that matters.

If it is not Sahara Reporters it will be Gazette.

shortgun:
Where did you see that the engineer is building a palace. The invite said "prototype type palace"...this simply means he intend to build many buildings and name them "palace". The event was to showcase one of such buildings!!!!

Seriously, situations like these make feel ashamed to be called a Nigerian sometimes. You'll have to explain basic simple things to adults over and over again.

How did the "OBI OF LAGOS" come into this story?

Originalsly:
Hmmm .... it is people like you that bring us where we are today. You will label exposing corruption as poor journalism ... Police extorting citizens at check points as poor journalism... criticizing the Governor as poor journalism because one can be arrested at the end of the day. Yet...it is people like you that be making the most noise defending democracy and freedom of speech . Activists bring about change ...but here you are condemning activism. Oppressors everywhere.

Most of you are over reacting. Let me give you an example. There is nothing which Sowore says today through Sahara Reporters that other news outlet doesn't say but their manner of approach is different.

Nteogwuija:
Your context makes zero sense. A person who has a smelly mouth only causes discomfort to others, and the others could easily move away from the person.

But that hospital is a death trap. You go in there sick, you're likely to get worse. And the worst part is it's a public hospital and the patients, who are mostly the poor, have no viable options.

You still couldn't comprehend what I wrote. The message in the comment is about approach to problem solving.

Trump is not in Prof's good books. In I think 2016 he promised to destroy his green card if Trump emerge as President.

harsysky:

You and I do not know if his intents are geared to the right direction but till Nigeria happens to you, you will think everything is working well cos you are applying great wisdom. We all want our leaders, cos we even put them there, to have empathy. They are elected to serve. They do not do to others how they would want others do to them.

A woman whi gives birth freely will think the barren has committed the worst sin that's making them not to take in. I won't say much.

Nigeria is a great country, i always see it in a positive light and have always been grateful for all the privilege I enjoy as a Nigerian in Nigeria.

All I said was the Journalist can still pass his message across without being arrested. Simply!

Nteogwuija:
You're reasoning is very, very repulsive.

Lol 😂. My goal has been achieved. Thanks for your remarks. If you said otherwise I won't be happy.

shortgun:
You are not Igbo. Every Igbo man is permitted to do new yam feast in his house and invite friends and family...this is nothing but a business strategy to attract Igbo investors to his real estate business.

Also building Palaces and bestowing Kingship in another's Kingdom?

dederocs:
Slave mentality...can you mention the law he went against?

What crime did Julian Assange commit that made him wanted by the United States?

Nteogwuija:
I'm sure if one of your relatives were the one on that thorny hospital bed, you'd be writing love letters to the governor.

I won't, I would have made the governor realize his responsibility with so much wisdom that he will make me his media aide.

I don't know why you all are over reacting.

Figurine007:
Ask urself very well if what you just said make sense.
You can equally call friends and well wishers if comment make sense

😁 You are over reacting.

GorillaApp:
So investigative journalism can not criticise government establishment? Don't quote me again because you are already sold out. Good day

You shouldn't have responded if you don't want my reply.

GorillaApp:
It's is people like you- the useful Eediotss that keep this country the way it is. That emboldens these oppressors.
So in other climes, as a journalist, you will have to beg the government before you investigate things. Have you ever heard of investigative journalism? You must have but little peanuts has clouded your sense of reasoning

What is the big deal about investigative journalism? Are you trying to say that investigative journalism is aimed at negativity?

villagereporter:
.

So he should have placated the werey governor or whosoever that got him arrested because he is d alpha and omega?

Don't worry bro, power is transient, whatever you do for a living you will soon find yourself at d receiving end of any govt in power, den it will be too late to cry.

Oga, na sense person dey apply to do person job if e no wan enter trouble o.

Rumor has it that the police acted on orders of the promoters business rival.
The promoter is a certified Engineer, he's educated enough not to publicly promote illegality.

And who is this rival?!

sweetkev:
Tinubu economy no help too. Two different couples just divorced in my street due to hardship. A neighbour is also insulting her gentle husband everyday and I already know how it will end.

So by divorcing, the hardship automatically disappears. If e no sweet today e go sweet tomorrow.

geoworldedu:
Omoh, with comment like this and some likes for such comments, it shows that there is no hope in sight yet for the country. Smh.

It simply means you lack context. If someone has a smelling mouth and you just walk up to the person and start yelling that that person's mouth is smelling what do you think will happen to you?!

Softmirror:
There are ways in which you make report. You aim is for correction, hence you start with the noble achievements by the state government projecting it's image in a positive way and then along the line you make them to realize their short comings, which is your real aim. In such light, the reaction will be different and will be appreciated. That is good journalism.

lionshare:
A popular adage states: “A stitch in time saves nine.”

Infact, the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, warned the public against falling prey to impostors who exploit cultural and traditional institutions for selfish gain. He stressed that such acts are unlawful, capable of disturbing public peace, and will be met with firm enforcement of the law.

I give police the thumbs up for being very PRO-ACTIVE no amount of mouth twisting can change the established narrative.

Dogalmighty17:
How do some of you paid supporters of failure reason? Are you not ashamed?

Deepspirituals:
. What Is this one Saying ..Na waooo..You mean the People that Arrested him knows what is Constructive Criticism...What is the business of those that Arrested The Journalist with what You are Saying ...They are Annoyed that there Yansh was Exposed ,And if it's not for A Change why the Reports ...

Of course. That is exactly the reaction he will get for exposing them in such a manner.

Did he detail out his efforts in any private conversation with the authority before making this public?!

surgical:
if ever there will be a time the politicians will be held accountable like its been done elsewhere, their enablers like the person you just responded to ,should must also collect
They must reap the evil they so ardently supported and enabled

Oga, there are far more intelligent ways of telling someone that their mouth is smelling inorder to correct them.

LeeSmart:
Normally na east ward you the face pray so we sabi you.

Imagine when a journalist writes this? Should he be surprise by the consequence?

Even when you are they ones always telling your brothers that it is none of their business to protest . That they should never join any protest.

Is Kenya better off after their GenZ protest? Let's start from their and not even go as far as Nepal.

ShoeMarket:
Did you even read the article because you lost the point. From the piece, Igbos are republicans, a people who believe that everybody count, matter and all humans are equal not some form of master-servant kind of communalism brandished through kingdoms and crowns used to oppress and cheat and all that nonsense. It should even shock you how mere mortals created like you assume superiority over you when they are not God. Please reject the idea of kingdoms and crowns it is a slavery concept. I totally agree with the Igbo concept.

"No wonder" which I wrote simply defines why every where you find yourself, you can't live in peace with people. Simply because you can't even imagine that within your own self someone can be more elevated than the other, yet you practice discrimination as a culture called 0'su which completes shatters your claim of Igbos are Republicans.

slimfit1:
Obi pls get security i don't trust this government after the shooting in America please secure yourself properly. They will say it can happen anywhere it happen in America so no where is safe.

Gentle Yahoo shey you dey hear your brother. 😁

But there was absolute freedom during Jonathan. Weldon sir.

He is always crying every time about how much he regrets this past of his weakness.
