Fmr. Nigeria Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the economy under the last administration, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala allegation that Sahara Reporters founder, Omoyele Sowore deliberately published articles that blackmail her on Sahara Reporters after she deny to respond to some of Sowore's questions are farce. https://www.nairaland.com/4466536/ngozi-okonjo-iwealas-revelation-donald-duke


It is obvious that the well travelled and learned Iweala is not in tune with modern realities as some of her alleged blackmail stories are still on the web and an advanced Google search will bring them out, not only that, She did not even know that most of the articles against her were not written by Sowore.

What ordinarily the traditional media would have killed because their relationship with politicians is what Sowore's Sahara Reporters is publishing. Sowore as the publisher only wanted to get her views on those stories before publishing which she declines due to her arrogance, which she displayed while in power.

Below are some of the stories published about Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala on Sahara Reporters between 1st of May 2011 and Dec. 2012

Dr. Okonjo Iweala should stop spreading ignorant falsehood about the personality of Omoyele Sowore and upgrade her knowledge to be in tune with modern and digital realities.

As the Presidential ambition of Sahara Reporters Founder Omoyele Sowore continue to reverberate around the country, here is a short video produced 8 years ago, detailing why and how he started Sahara Reporters. Sowore belief and what he stands for then is still the same.

How many thousands got the message out of the many uneducated and lazy 108 million Nigeria youths.

They'll placed them on 2 years contract with a meagre 30k stipends, while their son's get the plum, good paying and secured jobs at the CBN, like President Buhari did in 2016.

The National ID failed because they're operating with analogue mentality, nothing stops them from printing the card instantly once the NIN has been generated by the central server.
They will keep complaining of connection speed without doing anything to improve the situation because they do not know the value.

dominique:
PMB doesn't read epistles, arrange your points in form of cartoons instead

You mean like this ?

Like play, like play Hurricane Sowore is sweeping across

Incase you missed it, Watch Presidential aspirant Omoyele Sowore was a guest on Channels TV Politics Today with Seun Okinbaloye on Sunday 22nd April 2018

Unfair treatment of citizens are the major cause of insecurity.

A perfect response to a clueless PMB supporters, just like this staunch supporter

We should believe it is achievable. Many youth have been brainwashed into believing they can't get certain things right because they didn't belong to a particular clique.

The presidential ambition of the founder and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, received a boost on Friday as students, youths and groups from all parts of the Southeastern region at a town hall meeting in Owerri, the capital of Imo state, promised to join efforts by the presidential aspirant to take Nigeria back from the hands of the incumbent bad government at all levels in the 2019 general election.

In his address at the town hall meeting, Mr. Sowore, assured the mammoth crowd mostly made up of enthusiastic young men and women that Nigeria will be rescued from the hands of the current set of clueless leaders in 2019: "We are leaving Egypt and no longer going back to Egypt, we have left them and power has also left them. We are going to take back our country from them. Analog mentality cannot rule digital generation. I was a student union leader at the University of Lagos and we mobilized against military rule in 1999. 2019 would have been twenty good years we drove military away and had democracy.

“Our democracy must hit a landmark next year when the young people who have been fighting for this country will taste power for the good of Nigeria. There is a vacancy in Aso rock, power has left them and we are taking it back. We are tired of turn-by-turn politics in Nigeria. Enough is enough we tired of divisive, ethnicity and religion politics."

The presidential hopeful also took a swipe at President Muhammadu Buhari over his recent comment In London that Nigerian youths are lazy and only wait for free oil money.

While vehemently disagreeing with the assertion, Sowore told the youths emphatically: "We are not lazy, they are the ones who are lazy, and if you look very well, they never worked in their entire lives, they steal, loot and destroy our country. What about what happened to our president's son who has never worked before.

"Where did he get the bike he was riding in Abuja and had an accident.? Somebody who has never worked before and they used our money two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to ferry him from Abuja down to Germany for treatment and he came back and his father has the effrontery to be calling us lazy. We are nice people because if you do this to young people in other countries, they will shut down the country.

The presidential aspirant also used the occasion to reiterate some of his promises and how his administration will improve the lot of the citizens, if he is given the opportunity of becoming Nigeria’s president in 2019: "The workers will be paid 100,000 as minimum wage. We have been working on the calculation of how many students we have in higher institutions. Can you believe that the Nigerian University Commission does not know how many students are in our higher institution? They don’t know. But we have figured it out and we want to invest N50,000 each on every student so that when you cannot pay your school fee, you’re not denied your final result.
We have a duty to form our zone, which I called zone seven which they called geopolitical zones. They rotate power among those zones and we are creating our own zone seven and power is not going to be rotated for us, we are going to fight for the power and take it back. Look at Imo state, the man known as Sam Mbakwe built this state, but since he died and left as a governor they can't even maintain the roads he built. People who cannot do new things and maintain the old ones are the people who are lazy not our Nigerian youths. That statement alone is enough to incite a revolution.

"You must go and obtain your permanent voters' cards, (PVCs) and get set to chase away this corrupt and bad government come 2019 and install a government the youths can call their own. People tell us about the southeast that they want to leave this country, they want restructuring and Biafra, we must address it. You are not the only people who have left this country, most Nigerians have mentally seceded from Nigeria because of injustice and the injustice is huge.

"We cannot continue to have people who have war mentality, they have not finished the war they started in the 60s, that is while the Southwest and Southeast are broken down and they want it to remain so. They are still fighting the war in their heads. One of the first things we will do first as the Federal Republic of Nigeria next year is to apologize to the people of the Southeastern part of Nigeria. Nigeria must apologize to you for the injustices done to you, we must accelerate development of the Southeast. There's money in this country to develop it. Within four years of coming into power, not only would we complete the second Niger bridge, but will do a third Niger bridge with a fast train lane that can carry goods and services. It’s possible and achievable,", Sowore said.

A cross-section of the students and youths who spoke during the town hall meeting commended the presidential aspirant for championing the Take Back Nigeria Movement.

They also affirmed that the time has come for them to take their destiny into their hands while vowing that come 2019, they will vote out bad government at all levels with their PVCs and a better government that has the interest of the youths at heart in the person of the Sahara Reporters founder will be installed.

Meanwhile, a former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Imo state, Prof. Francis Dike, has commended the founder of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore over his bold step of coming out to contest for the Nigerian presidency. Prof. Dike described Sowore as the hope of the young generation that has come to liberate the people from bad leadership: "Our country and I am so happy. Nigeria is failed state, nothing is working and I am happy to identify with you."

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, (SAN), who gave the commendation when he played host to the presidential hopeful at his country home in Imo state shortly after the town hall meeting lamented the sorry and bitter state of Nigeria where nothing is working as a result of bad and failed leadership by successive governments in the country

Jeezuzpick:


Do you remember the first match played at Abuja National Stadium?

The spectators caused N5million of damage in just a few hours!

Fixing it is part of what they paid for, I'm not exonerating the fan, but the management has a lot of role to play.

Jeezuzpick:
Says a lot about Nigerians...

There is bound to be wear and tears, which is the government responsibility to fix. Why blame ordinary Nigerian who pay to use the service.

Detractors at work, the full details of the SPICER agenda is yet to be published. The same way they arm twisted President Buhari, they wanted to do same with our incoming President, Omoyele Sowore.
Though the manifesto is acronym is called SPICER, which stands for Security, Power, Infrastructure, Economy and Restructuring, the details is however in progress and yet to be released. The only aspect he has talked about is the Minimum wages, Corpers allowance and Power Generation, the rest are the handiwork of those scared of his rising popularity.

Anyone with a proof Video or audio of where he posted all that was mentioned in the thread 2019 Presidential Election: Sahara Reporters Owner Shares Manifesto

Whether they berates him or not a youth is taking charge of the country affairs as from May 29th 2019

Whether they berates him or not a youth is taking charge of the country affairs as from May 29th 2019

Well done! Maybe we need to ask President Buhari some questions
* What was the occupation of his son, Yusuf Buhari to have been able to afford a Power Bike Worth $157,000?
* What is Yusuf Buhari currently doing?

It is time for the youths to #Takeitback by supporting Omoyele Sowore in 2019

#Takeitback

They bastardized our educational sector and still turned around to blame us, who are victims of their wrong decision of being lazy.
What has President Buhari achieved in the educational sector? Nothing, they want the youths to return to the farm with providing motivations or incentives.
The wanted to frustrate the youths making a living via Blogging, Fiverr and other freelance website by gagging the Social media and forcing telcos to increase the cost of data.

We are taking over soon, I enjoined all youths to support the candidacy of Omoyele Sowore to #Takeitback

Two years after the launching of the Aso Villa Demo Day and 30 Finalist were shortlisted, no fund have been disbursed. The truth is they do not know the value of digitization, they are still operating with Analogue brains. The VP that is a little enlightened is been shut down. This and many more reason is why we need a vibrant young man 'OMOYELE SOWORE' to steer the ship of Nigeria with modern realities.

Agreed, who else if not Sowore

And someone says political campaign cannot be carried out successfully using technology. 95% of the 100M users are within the voting age.

Emycord:
NOW i know this man is insane. how can the senate go ? then its no longer a democracy but dictatorship. the senate is backed by the constitution. if it has to go its only by the suspending constitution. how can he lead a protest is he a tout? if he wants senate gone he can start now if it becomes popular then the people will call for ref. otherwise the most he can do is to try cut them down to size in terms of thier pay then we have real technocrats there not those who see it as business. pls tel sowore if your close to him that we need a new constitution not this current one. at the constitutional conference he can start to repair the damage

Go and learn man, search for the difference between Unicameral and Bicameral legislature, you yourself knows the Senate chamber is a drain on our resources, leaving the House of Rep which has representation from all the LG is better. Senegal did it and it is still functioning up to date. We brand of politics we are playing now is Revolutionary and not partisan as currently being played.

It will only be possible if you liberate yourself and Let us #TakeItBack We have the Numbers!, We have the knowledge!!

Let us #TakeItBack sowore2019

Emycord:
SHOW me one administration that had no "despicable act" or you just want to demonise the gentleman from minority? the fullarman you supported is doing "wonders" now you want to jump ship for a man who's only achievement was to pull down a govt with his broadcasts. and helped install one we are now forced to endure inspite of buhari's history for you guys it was" any other but jonathan". instead of being sober and apologise to nigeria he is here talking rubbish. good they have told him he must become a thief first to get there and that he is poor and cannot do it. well its his right to seek office but then like i said in other threads and will continue to say "anyone banking on se votes to win presidential election is wasting time the se and by extension old eastern region have other things on our mind

It isn't about despicable act, but the fact that they lack the willingness to follow their talk with action. If you want to change Nigeria, be ready to break or totally rubbish some protocols.
Consistently since Sowore declare his ambition, he said the Senate will have to go, people ask him how he will achieve it, he said that he if elected as the President can lead a protest to the Senate and call for a referendum. It is possible, he has the energy and capability to do it.

QuotaSystem:
Tell Sowore we in the NW say he should go and start from his ward councillorship.

Though his real target is 2023 when the slots go down South, he should watch it lest he spills the political momentum he is trying to gather.

You cannot deny the fact that Buhari has disappointed you with his performance, admitting it publicly is what you should try, summon courage and do, it is called Liberation.

Another user confirming their hypocrisy

waveman2:
The question to sowore is can he jail any politician if found guilty from past presidents to governors to ministers etc if he is elected president. Then we will vote for him.

Do you know why Sowore election is appearing difficult to some many people? he is detaching himself from the well known elites, who many believes are the power brokers in the country. Sowore is mobilizing the people against the so called brokers which we all are complaining about, he is democratizing Revolution in Nigeria.
If you hear the last line from the Minister for Communication, Adebayo Shittu when they both had encounter at Ibadan, he said 'Ti iwo yi ba lagbara ju ba yi lo, wa daran' 'If you are empowered more than this, you will cause havoc'.

His statement shows their fear, we can compound it by voting Sowore as President in 2019

The political space disruption is already in motion, hurricane Sowore is sweeping across the country in a Revolutionary manner Nigerians is yearning for.

Let us #TakeItBack Sowore2019
