Sahara Reporters responds to Nigerian army allegations against them

The Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has responded to accusations by the Nigerian army that his platform is a propaganda media for terrorism and Boko Haram. (read here). In a chat with The Paradigm, Mr Sowore said the Nigerian army has been reduced to a petty organization
"The Nigerian Army has been reduced to a petty organization. The other day they deployed their men chasing after newspaper delivery vans across Nigeria because some were critical of their handling of the anti-terrorism fight. Since they can’t find or arrest our copies, they’ve resorted to cheap blackmail. The content of the petition clearly speaks to how Boko Haram could be defeated, and states why they haven’t been defeated" Sowore said.

Sahara reporters should be the least of their problem, they should do the needful.

Do you know that Nigeria top the list in infidelity and adultery based on the recent survey carried out by durex and there is also claims that 62% of Nigeria women are unfaithful. Find out what to do to avoid your wife cheating on you @ www.blessinghammed.com

And its true.The Khaki men are only surviving on past glory.The numerous white lies they tell concerning this insurgency and chibox girls is enough to give a give a hopeful parent hearattack.And the way some of them have been brandishing brutal force on journalists and innocent Nigerians is way too arrogant.The helpless junior ranking soldiers are excused

What do you expect them to do. If they complain of lack of weapon, they get death sentence for mutiny. If they go to the battle with ill-equipped weapon, they get killed by Bokko Haram. The safest platform to fight is twitter.

Ovieh said...


Omole sowore is a coward. 99% of his cheap journalistic victims are from the South. No guts to take on Hausa-fulani politicians or those of them in ANY government since saharareporters was created. You can check this fact in the archives of SR.

A born coward. That's why he prefers to back INDIRECTLY boko haram and it's haufa-fulani-kanuri sponsors than attack them.

I have ZERO respect and ZERO consideration for this man. I don't like him at all at all.

I kinda concur with him, the duty of the Nigerian Army is to fight crime not to engage on mouth battle against journalists....but the man went to far.....all you calling APC names, did he mention anyway that APC is their sponsors? Hypocrites

Anonymous said...

This Sahara Reporter publisher or handler is working for APC! they take time to publish negetuve stories abt PDP and the Nigeria as if we are in a war Zone! Check their stories and see where they ever talk abt anything negetuve abt the APC people and compare with the stories of JONATHAN or PDP! God will continue to judge u people for causing us Terror! Your stories are tearing us apart! You are reporting negetuve stories about Nigeria and they are all paid for! One day Judgement shall come to u!

Redcandy said...

I'm proud of Omoyele Sowore. He is making his opinions known in public, unlike some of us who can only make our opinions known in cowardice by posting anonymously on sites like this and having nothing positive to say but to insult those who are bold enough to fight this government.
He is doing something a lot of us cannot do. He's giving Nigerian youths a voice. He won't get it right all the time, after all he's human. But I think he's doing something right.

Sahara reporters have been unpatriotic. They don, t see anything good in anybody except people that come from their area. Nigeria army needs encouragement and support. Bcos of sentiments, sr has been very biased. This path of insulting the nigeria army is a path of self destruction. Bet me u will be crushed bcos it is no longer journalism but denigration of an institution. Mark my words, sowore or whatever u call urself.
