There is no doubt absolutely that Omoyele Sowore, publisher of saharareporters.com has distinguished himself creditably in the practice of online media, despite intimidation, victimization, death threats etc from those perceived to be haters of truths, who have destroyed and ruined our nation, politically and economically. His undergraduate days as student union President in University of Lagos, will also speak volume of his commitment to the path of truth emancipation of the oppressed. Similarly kudos should also be given to other operators of online media who have put their lives and career on the line all in the name of sheer determination of telling the truth and exposure of hidden facts of highhandedness and corrupt practices of our leaders; I think it is just right to acknowledge the likes of huhuonline.com, elendureports.com, pointblanknews.com, sharpedgenews.com, AfricanSearchlight, 9jabook.com, AfricanExaminer, UkpakaReports, Villagesquare, ThewillNigeria.com etc.

Never ending construction of Lekki Expressway- Photo: skyscrapercity.com

We have noted with dismay that the purported dividend of democracy as it concerns the expansion of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, which understandably would help ease the perennial traffic logjam, is now causing more problems than it had set out to address.
