Do you know the foreign universities or schools attended by the children of the president, minister of education, govenors, other ministers, senators, councillors etc?. How about publicly confronting those children. Ask them how come they get to attend foreign schools undoubtedly paid for by stolen wealth from Nigeria, while the vast majority of Nigerian students cant graduate because ASUU is on strike?

You know when their wives and concubines go to spend our money in Dubai or the shopping malls on Oxford street or in the US?, Surround them with placards "Dont spend stolen money from the Nigerian people, Teachers have not been paid"

Maybe if we begin to embaras them abroad, it will make some of them see sence. Hold them accountable,let them know there is no where to hide.

Harsh? Drastic?, well the mess in Nigeria calls for drastic action. There is a need for an orderly, highly principled and formidable group to demand accountability.

Elija being Very typical throughing rubbish in to the works of progress

Elija your typical, throughing rubbish in to the works of progress

Please lets all watch the factual video before some unscrupulous people over edited it and created a fallacy

Kudos to your. Actions and such public action has made you to be on the same level with the looters. Protesting far away will not bring about meaniful solution to the cancer that is a spreading to our generations with no cure. Let us impact a change

You should at least read your history books silly or keep quite if you don"t have anything to say

you are a big fool

In as much as i am from Nija Delta, President Jonathan is not doing the right thing, he is to be blamed, he might mean well 4 naija, but his party PDP and advisers will mislead him. My brothers in new York, have done pretty well to xpress dere feeling God bless u all, our Gvt wastes much on themselves while the poor cant even eat one square meal, it is 2 bad.. We support u bothers, the minister should take d massage back home to ngozi, sanisu, madueke , maku, ruben and President Jonathan.

we need change and progress in naija, we cant be suffering in the mist of plenty.The New york Police, Kudos, not like naija police , in such situation they will arrest and just 4 eye service.
God save Naija, Pastor Tunde Bakare, God bless u 4 speaking he mind of the poor, Prof Pat Utomi and others God bless u all. Time will tell where Naija will be. Either as one or divided. God please let the best be our portion AMENNNNNNNNN.

The protesters has done the best
its better you think before you talk ok

Love ur coments its briliant and well noted we ll c to dat where eva we go to and drag dem even it takes our last breath

Carl also gave the minister a hard time when Sowore and his fellow patriotic Nigerians had left the venue. It got to a stage that the minister had to tell him that she is a mother of four sons and a grandmother so Carl should stop interrupting her and accusssing her of not answering questions. He is still passionate about Nigeria too but in a different way.He did not want Sowore to call women names and he wanted other people to have opportunity to vent their anger too by speaking on the podium one after the other.He was on the side of masses and even said Abacha wanted to kill him in Nigeria for fighting corrupt leaders.

I love this ..nigerians all over the world should learn from this ,we should start it now let us disgrace them where ever they go to.....

What is your source? that GEJ's campaign was unfortunately financed by ill-gotten wealth?

While I do not support the corrupt nature of our government and society generally today, I see this phase of our national life as a transient one that we will surely overcome with time. If you take the history of the so called civilized nations, they too passed through similar circumstances that Nigeria is facing presently. The attitude of Sahara Reporters officials and their gang in this Town Hall meeting was to ay the least the height of hooliganism. while it is within your rights to protest, this was not the best place to do so. These so called conveniently settled in US fighting for change in the homeland, my candid advice to you is to please go home to Nigeria and join the struggle there instead of seating comfortably here in the States and pretending to be championing the struggle for change. The was a show of shame. I say a big shame to Sahara reporters

I AM GLAD YOU CALLED THEM CAB DRIVERS . IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE VALIDATED THEM AS HARD WORKING AND HONEST INDIVIDUALS, WHOM YOU CAN TRACE THEIR SOURCE OF INCOME. HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT SAY THE SAME FOR THE LOOTERS YOU ARE COVERTLY SUPPORTING. I HOPE YOU CRASH AND BURN WITH THEM. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOUR BRAIN IS UNDER YOUR FEET, BECAUSE YOU WERE UNABLE TO NTELLECTUALLY MAKE YOUR POINT . WHICH WAS???? THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE. YOU ARE A TOTAL DOUCHEBAG AND A WASTE OF SPACE.

I have seen the clip of the NY protest and I'm glad that couple with recent events in Nigeria, the government must be getting the message that we are no fools and it can't be business as usual.
Apart from the minister's lateness, I saw that the minister and people seating with her sat down throughout the national anthem while some people I presume to be consulate staff were at the same time milling about the podium and talking. Such indiscipline and lack of respect for the nation they purport to serve. The audience were all standing!!!
Seeing Sowore brought back memories of my time in Unilag when he was ULSU president. He was a year behind me in Environmetal Sciences and has obviously not lost that aluta spirit.
God help Nigeria.

Please do not regard the statement of Benedict Ezeagu and Olabode Francis on Pastor Tunde Bakare. How possible is it for a tenant to eject the lanlord from his house. Kindly ask Ezeagu and Olabode how SNG started and whose brainchild is SNG.

These guys are Jona's boys. Finito.

The Ibos are known to be hypocrites.
But so unfortunate for them GEJ is
worse than any past Hausa or Yoruba
Leaders that have ruled Nigeria.
Before the civil war, during
the first REPUBLIC,Dr.Nnamdi Azkiwe betrayed Chief Obafemi Awolowo only for him and his kins men to be disappointed by their ally. As if that was not enough,Col.Odumegwu Ojukwu was at d begining, fighting for a just course but unfotunately for him along the line the hypocrisy set in, Many easterners lost their lives and properties. Too bad! It is indeed a shame that many are still deluded and living day-by-day in self-denial. This is just the right time we all come together and fight corruption in our land! This struggle has nothing to do with any tribe.Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Efik, Tiv,Itshekiri,Urhobo and the rest of the tribes are "one-Nigeria"! After all, inter-ethinic marriage is the order of the day. Does that signal something to everyone!GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

More grease to your elbow Omoyele Sowore! Just saw the YouTube clip. You are leaving your footprints in the sands of time.

Those who do not have what they can die for, have nothing to live for...you almost brought tears to my eyes. Maybe there is hope fpr Nigeria yet.

I hate to join issues with morons like you, but I believe you need some education only of your thick skull can absorb it.

When you write "OUR oil revenue" who the heck is the "our" Can you have a NigerDelta independent of Igbo and Yoruba? By the way who is a NigerDeltan? Niger Delta is a mere geographical description not an entity, a nonentity cannot own a proeprty.

For your education, there are Igbo, Yoruba territories that are oil producing communities in the NigerDelta as well.

It is therefore stupid of you to keep talking of "our" oil. Na your Papa put the oil for ground?

Less than a week after the strike over removal of oil subsidy, the Save Nigeria Group (SNG), one of the civil society organizations that partnered with labour to fight the Federal Government may be heading for crisis.The group yesterday dissociated itself from its Convener, Pastor Tunde Bakare, saying that the cleric’s views during the weeklong strike were his and not that of the SNG.
In a statement by its National Coordinator, Benedict Ezeagu and Public Relations Officer, Olabode Francis, the group regretted rumour in the media and government circle that SNG called for ‘regime change’ during protests against hike in fuel

This guy carl umunna used to be a student union activist in uniben when i was there. It is very strange that this same guy who used to fight the military then as a student activist for the restoration of Democratic principles during the Abiola saga of yester years could be on the wrong side of history in faraway yankee as apaid agent to disrupt truth by fellow occupy nigeria activist its so sad.That for just a few dollars more u carl umunna could scuttle truth right in front of u more grease to ur elbow,u are just one of the few igbo men that go all out to disgrace the ibo.

I am indeed, satisfied with the protest of the NDLF. We should begin to walk our speeches, by this, these men & women who've long feasted off our collective resources. STAND UP TO BE COUNTED in the struggle to RECLAIM NIGERIA!

Bakare took advantage of the role played by Turai, who allowed herself to be used by the cabal who first shook hands with lord lugard in 1914. Its unfortunate that, our oppressors like members of the ku klux klan, who did all in their power to bury the contributions made by african americans towards the tranformation of the USA, now want to hide the role played by militants in the ND, in the struggle to enthrone GEJ as acting president when Yara Adua died. The question is, have we 9jas learnt lessons from events that made it impossible for GEJ, to become president when Turai was in command? Are we still not pulling strings from various angles to make things hard for him? Was it corruption that made Yaradua refuse to sign a hand over note for GEJ? Until we take care of those things-and resource control, we are just wasting time talking about nothing-with the socalled (ON) 9ja thing. Hope we are not being told that we have had brainless leaders rule us for the past 51yrs in 9ja.

This is a case of bush meat catching the hunter. Them just they start. Nigerian police should take a cue from the NYPD, if na 9ja dem for begin arrest d protesters.
