Just reading about the charges against Sowore. If he is being charged and detained for insulting the President, then the entire Nation should be in jail. Americans should all be in jail for insulting Trump too then. What a joke of a democratic system.

's other TweetsSowore knew the lengths to which this government will go to destroy a person's reputation. He used his SR platform to help them do just that. He knew the dangers of dissent beforehand, but chose the way of selective amnesia. When you eat with the devil, use a very long spoon.

Sowore was one of the powers that brought Buhari in 2015. He used his Sahara reporters to insult former president Goodluck Jonathan. He published false and malicious contents against Jonathan. He called Jonathan so many names.
