Unfortunately,Mr Sowore is like a rolling Stones that gathered no sand ⌛.
He should be talking maturely and no wander he can't be a politician to assemble people because of his gutter language!
Sowore- the Owner of Sahara Reporters based in USA,
His Family is firmly based abroad but can't see reason- why others so called Activists are doing same to Tinubu.
Why do you hate Tinubu?
He is Your President,yet you decides to be joining and aligning with Fraudulent Characters in Opposition - who weeonce in Govt-AS FORMER' AND PAST GOVERNORS,
PAST MINISTERS,
PAST Head of DEPTS AND MINISTRIES- but most of these Opposition, aka ADC,PDP SYMPATHERSERS - HAVE ONCE BEEN IN GOVT- BUT CAN'T ACCOUNTS FOR The RESOURCES PLACED AT THEIR DISPOSAL - AT THAT TIME.
YET HAVE NO SINGLE INTEGRITY- BECAUSE THEY ARE CORRUPT.
SOWORE- SHOULD MIND HIS LANGUAGE AND REST I BEG- For GOVT - IS DIFFERENT FROM ALLUTA IN SCHOOL DAYS!

I do not emulate or appreciate the character of Sowore

SmartPolician:
Sowore should be careful about the way he relates with these evil politicians. Those folks have sold their souls to the devil in the quest to grab power.

If they would waste Marshal Harry, Bola Ige and Funsho Williams, Sowore is an ant to them.

Do you think Sowore's soul too belongs to God. They are all devils, including Sowore

Successlane:
This almighty Akpabio should know that nothing last forever.

Where are those before him?

He should realize, one day he will be ex- or Late- (as any human) senate president

He better check his excesses,

This is not about Apabio. Similar things could happen with another Senator as Senate President.

This is about setting a precedence on matters that concerns the Rules of the Senate.

When any Senator, big or small, male or female, from northern or southern Nigeria or whatever you are as senator, violates the Rules of the Senate, you will be judged and there will be consequences and punishment, however minimal or severe.

Safyqueen:
With this kind of citizen in this country, when will Nigeria enjoy good governance?

That kind of citizen may be emotionally more intelligent than you could be in reality. You are obviously struggling to see the logic upon which he based his position.

DataDoc:
It's only in Nigeria that you have to apologise for doing the right thing or for speaking the truth

In every Senate across the world, distinguished senators are expected to comport themselves with decorum, respectfully and in compliance with the Rules of the Hallowed Chamber.

When you violate the rules, there will be consequences and punishment to serve as deterrent for you and others that may do the same and ultimately create a precedence.

Stop being sentimental and address the issue clearly as it is:

Natasha disrupted the Senate session because her seat was changed, along with several other senator's seats - which is the norm in the Senate and a prerogative of the Senate leadership. Natasha disrespected the Senate President, who was the presiding officer on that day, she insulted him and insulted the leadership by shouting all over the house and making spurious allegations that she has substantiated till date. She was unruly on that day and that is the reason the Senate Committee on ethics and privileges was mandated to investigate her case, gave her opportunity to defend herself which she dodged and rather went to court to address but forgot that the house activities can not be stopped by the court, the Committee concluded their investigation howbeit and recommend her suspension to the Senate.

The Senate confirmed her suspension so what are you saying about the truth.

What truth are you referring?

Safyqueen:
Stop embarrassing yourself on public platform on issues you have limited knowledge on. Nobody has time to come to your level to start explaining the issue to you please.

How is he embarrassing himself?

His level is obviously superior to yours; you are the one that needs to be understood and informed on the matter.

Bobloco:
Judging by your tone, you seem quite invested in the matter, perhaps even more than a neutral observer would be. Interested party, maybe?

Did the judgment of the lower court ever state that she’s barred from returning to the Senate after the six-month suspension expires?

No, the judgement of the lower court didn't state that she can't return to the Senate after six months.

However, what you fail to understand or you deliberately ignore is that: when you appeal a judgement, you mean that you disagree with parts or entirely the judgement and when you file the appeal at the superior court, ultimately you have subjected the entire judgement of the lower court to a review by the superior court.

The effect is that the lower court judgement is suspended pending the determination of the superior Court judgement - in this case, the Court of Appeal.

It is logical for the Senate and Natasha Apoti Uduaghan to wait it out in the Court of Appeal for determination of the case filed. This is the lawful and civil approach to the matter.

If Natasha Apoti Uduaghan wants a political solution to the matter, there would be need to withdraw the lawsuit in the court of Appeal by both teams Senate and Natasha. There will be need for both parties to dialogue to resolve their grievances and move forward as a Senate.

Natasha Apoti Uduaghan is still a senator anyway, she is just suspended.

Bobloco:
Where did you all emerge from?

If a lower court delivers a judgment and the party is dissatisfied with the outcome, does the law not afford her the right to seek redress by appealing to a higher court

Yes, she has a right to appeal and we appreciate the fact that she exercised it.

So she has to wait this one through, pending the determination of the court case she has instituted in the Court of Appeal.

Satazaa:
not ready for peace? Are you for real? She desperately wants her mandates to represent her people restored and Akpabio and his co-conspirators are denying her people the right of representation, they are ego tripping and are trampling on her rights and her people, the allegations against Akpabio are not baseless because he did same to the former NNDC woman, he is one of the highest benefactors of Nollywood actresses, even girls selling pure water on the streets of Akwa Ibom all knows his story as a sexually reckless fellow

Is Natasha Apoti Uduaghan herself not ego tripping?

Is Natasha not criminally accusing several people, including the Senate President, of sexual harassnent without proof?

Since you are also making a spurious allegation, you should also prove it - "even girls selling pure water on the streets of Akwa Ibom all knows his story as a sexually reckless fellow".

Lanretoye:
Paid advertisement…which development did she cause in her constituency before she was suspended?.infact she performed better as a suspended senator.
6months has gone and people pushing her have not gotten anything to do about her suspension…

I couldn't agree less with you. The editorial looks like a sponsored article.

fixedhollies:
See wetin the first comment Dey talk… what happened to other people before her that took the matter to court?

When you take matters to court, you would wait it out for the court to settle it or withdraw the case from court for out-of-court settlement.

Depriest2020:
I know for sure that the court will strike out the DSS suit, it is not their duty to sue on behalf of the president. If he had called the DSS a criminal organization then they can sue, but suing for the president? DOA.

Dey play - you are still a learner.

MasterMariner:
What is bad is bad no matter how twisted the story seems.

Lagos is highly overrated!

Other African cities in the same class with Lagos are doing even better.


So stop defending rubbish!

The same bottle water that you would buy in a grocery store for ₦300 is also sold in some clubs and cafes for ₦1,000 and above in some cases?

Everything of value in life is packaged to meet its valuation.

You will be shocked to see slums and awful sights in the cities you highly value across the world.

Lagos is not perfect.

bionixs:
Senseless Tacha. You have the right to call out the leadership of any state you live and pay your tax.

When it is time to collect his tax, you wont tell anyone to go to their state.
I went to Idioro, Mushin yesterday, the mountains of stinking thrash in the middle of the busy road, was quite disturbing oooo. It has been there for months. Yet the enthusiasm with which all manner of tax and state backed extortion was going on same road is choking

Before you open your stinking mouth to defend thrash here, first visit that location this morning.

I would say that 90% of Lagos street and major link roads are shamefully terrible, going by how much revenue this state make daily

Your right comes with a caveat - you should criticize responsibly and objectively.

Do you pay your waste management bill?
Did the Lagos State government drop the waste and refuse at that location in Idioro or your street in Lagos?
Is it not human beings like you that reside in your street and every other streets in Lagos that turned those spots into refuse dump sites and yet don't pay for waste management?

ukaface:
Wo aunty tacha when you see the truth you say it.

Lagos state is dirty, not coming from a place of tribalism but they need to keep those northerners/ Hausas in check. They use every nook and cranny as a place of abode, shitting and pissing, using it as a spot for packing plastics… True, fashola demolished that nonsense but come to fagba now the rail na all of them full there, fill up the whole rail with their dirtiness and beg beg. Da fvck…Wetin Sanwo Olu Dey do sef?

I will speak of Lagos because na there I know.

Aunty tacha, should talk true. Lagos is dirty and yes Smelling.

How often do you do and organize community service in your area for cleaning your area and Fagba?

How neat is your house and your compound?

You are part of the challenge in Lagos, my lady.

YouAreNobody:
Stupid question.
Let me throw your question back at you, "which state are you from?"

I'm sure you're not a lagosian, una no dey ever admit say you're from Osun or Ondo and that's why you go to Lagos to constitute nuisance and Sanwolu keeps deporting y'all 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is a simple question. Your response shows how hypocritical you can be.

MadPolitician:
Tachaa should stop overreaching .
We are not discussing "make-up" here.

The topic raised by the gentleman is obviously above Tachaas pay-grade

Tacha is entitled to her opinion and her opinion makes a lot of sense to me.

ibedun:
I don’t care! Nigeria is a federation of several nations like Hausa land, Yoruba land, Benin kingdom etc
The states are pure federal revenue allocation territories. The fake merger is precisely a misnomer. I have nothing in common with the people of Borno state or Ebonyi state. I don’t know those people and I don’t want to know them. 😄😄

Are you good?

Ttalk:
Real estate in Lagos has crashed, no Igboman will buy property in Lagos any longer, that money is already going to the SE where real estate is booming.

Thank God for this development. Igbo men can invest in South East, let the Lagos that you so much criticize be.

ZombieDredd:
Lagos is a no mans land according to Bwala and FG.
Therefore iguma has a right to critique the government especially after contributing to it's development as a law abiding citizen.

Anyone not happy about this should take a long walk off a short pier.

Again, Lagos has aborigines. Lagos is not "no man's land".

franchasng:
Tacha the guy is making a good point. This has nothing to do with wherever he comes from. He is saying nothing but the truth, properties in Lagos are overrated and overpriced, simple.


2billion naira will buy you an amazing duplex in most highbrow cities in the US, UK, Switzerland, France, etc, now tell me can you compare any of the aforementioned countries cities with any city in Nigeria?


We are the reason our politicians are misbehaving and misleading this country.


The critic never said his state of origin is better than Lagos, he only said nothing but the truth that our properties are overpriced.


Every criticism of the government must be viewed with tribalism glasses

No one forced you to buy properties in Lagos. If you don't like Lagos, invest your funds in properties or assets outside Lagos or better still, in your home state.

jmoore:
Which one is 'his state'?

The dude praised Fashola.

Who is even Tacha? She should hush if she can't come up with an intelligent defense. All these girls that graduated from porn reality show.

Anyone that lives in any state can criticize anything that doesn't sound pleasant.

A porn actor or actress can speak intelligently sometimes. Tacha made a valid observation and suggestion to the guy:

He should also dedicate sometime to showcase, critic or commend his home state showing us the good and bad situations in pictures.

LagosOrigin:
But if na you, will you spend 2 billion naira to purchase a house that the frontage is like that ?

Talk true

2 billion naira is not 2 million naira o

Did anybody force you or anyone to buy the property worth that amount in the Area or Lagos at all?

It is a transaction of offer and acceptance is optional; your choice.

Ofunaofu:
The DSS is not Tinubu’s PR team or his personal legal counsel. Their job is to protect national security, not the image of one man especially a man who, as you admitted, would need to be investigated with evidence before any action is taken. But Sowore didn’t arrest Tinubu, he spoke via a post on his social media handle. And in a democracy, speech is not a crime just because it makes the president uncomfortable. If Tinubu feels defamed, the courts are open let him sue, like every other citizen.

Weaponizing state security to intimidate critics is not strength, it’s weakness and calling it 'proactive' is just a fancy way of excusing authoritarianism.

When you boldly and publicly call a President a criminal, you should be able to prove it beyond reasonable doubt.

The best place for Sowore to prove it is in a competent ccourt of law. DSS just offered him that opportunity to prove it so he should be bold enough to do that.

This is not weaponization of DSS; it is accountability on the part of the accuser. I am not holding brief for the president, I just want us to be careful with our utterances.

Orlandoo:
Whatever happens, Sowore has proven to be a freedom fighter and his legacies will live even after he is no more.

Sowore has to take responsibility for his actions

https://independent.ng/apc-national-chairman-yet-to-resign-as-minister-53-days-after/

These politicians are so greedy, self-centered and perverted. These can only be motivated by corruption

Ofunaofu:
That is very flawed . First, let’s get the facts straight: Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension was imposed by the Senate, not a court of law, and that suspension has already lapsed. There is no legal basis for her continued exclusion from the chamber. Period.

Now, to this your your "she was asked to apologize" claim, apologies don’t override constitutional rights or due process. This isn’t a monarchy where personal pride trumps law; it's a democracy. You don’t silence an elected senator and by extension, her constituents over ego.

If Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan made accusations against Akpabio, the proper path is due legal process, not political punishment disguised as procedure. And let’s not pretend the justice system moves swiftly or without influence especially when high-ranking politicians are involved.

Finally, let’s not ignore the bigger issue. Just as it was highlighted by the ADC National publicity secretary, Mallam Bolaji, only 4 women out of 109 senators, and one is being politically sidelined for refusing to bow to power. That’s not just stubbornness, it’s courage. What’s really stubborn is the refusal of certain power blocs to let democracy work unless it serves their ego.

I read sentiments all through your position.

The Senate decided to suspend Natasha Apoti but she took the matter to court. The court advised the Senate to lift her suspension and gave some instructed Natasha to apologize for her provocative purported apology on Facebook within 2 weeks.

Natasha refused and challenged the entire judgement in court. The Senate President also challenged the judgement in court.

These actions escalated the matter to the Court of Appeal. Hence, status quo is expected to be maintained pending the decision of the Court of Appeal. That is the legal basis for the continued suspension.

However, you need to be reminded that the decision of the Senate to lift the suspension of Natasha Apoti in the Senate is dependent on her proper and firmal apology to the Senate for her misconduct, she hasn't done that till date, instead she has been trying to disparage and embarrass the Senate of the FRN.

It is not the fault of the Senate that Justice process is slow.

Natasha Apoti was never sidelined for refusing to bow to power. She violated the rules of the Senate and must account for her actions, she must take responsibility for her actions and be punished accordingly. The essence of punishment is to get the recipient to understand the offence and ultimately to make the recipient willingly understand the need not to repeat that offence again. The behavior of Natasha Apoti doesn't show that she learnt any lesson from the the incidents, she feels she is being victimized, sexually harassed, targeted or bruised by power unjustly. That is Natasha Apoti deflecting from the real lessons and essence of the punishment. She could have just taken the punishment in good faith, apologized for the misbehaviors and assumed her responsibility like a responsible, honorable and sane human.

KillahPriest:
You can't take kids without your spouse or other parent permission and even if this happened, he can mess her up wherever she is right now so, I don't see any need for wasting time posting on social media instead of taking direct action if what she did pained me. Nigerian men are getting more effeminate every day

You made a salient point.

Chilipepper:
Wife secretly planned and secured a US visa for herself and the kids without her husband’s knowledge. He only found out two days before their departure. After arriving in the US, she blocked him everywhere.

The story has some issues?

The 🇺🇸USA Embassy would normally required the consent of the parents for the children's VISA application.

Did the husband sign a consent document or did the wife falsify his consent or.......

YourKarma:

Wait till you see it happen. It would not be the president trying anything strange. It would be DSS and other security agencies of government doing their job.
