    ‘They are not in my class’

    “I’ve seen people who started and meant well but they ended up nasty,” he said.

    The video continues to circulate widely, adding to ongoing conversations around activism and public influence in Nigeria.

  • Sowore Slams Nigeria’s Pay Structure, Says Leaders Earn More Than Workers

    Human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore has criticised Nigeria’s income structure, saying those in power earn far more than ordinary workers despite contributing less.

    Sowore raises concern over income inequality

    Speaking on inequality under the current administration, Sowore said the country’s compensation system is skewed against workers.

    “In this country, the people that are working are the least paid, and the people who don’t work are the well paid,” he said.

    Claims on lawmakers’ earnings spark debate

    Sowore alleged that an average Nigerian senator earns over ₦30 million monthly, despite limited legislative sittings.

    He argued that such earnings are disproportionate when compared to the financial struggles faced by everyday Nigerians.

    Workers struggle despite daily efforts

    According to him, many workers are unable to afford basic needs such as food, healthcare, and education, despite working consistently.

    He said the situation reflects a system that prioritises political office holders over the labour force.

    Call for shift in leadership priorities

    Sowore called for urgent reforms, insisting that leadership must prioritise the welfare of workers.

    “The greatest work on our hands now is to drive away the enemies of workers who are occupying positions of power in this country,” he added.

    He maintained that addressing inequality in governance and public sector pay is critical to improving living conditions.

    Sowore Takes Direct Swipe

    In a video circulating online, Sowore addressed Malami, saying the former minister was now experiencing the flaws he ignored while in office.

    “You see how it feels now to be persecuted… we warned you then that there is failure in the justice system, but you didn’t listen,” he said.

    He added that the system was now turning against him.

    ‘System Is Dealing With You’

    Sowore, who has had several confrontations with authorities in the past, insisted that the justice system affects both critics and former officials.

    “There is failure in the system. The system is dealing with you now,” he said.

    During the exchange, he also offered Malami a symbolic “revolutionary cap.”

    Malami Responds Briefly

    Malami, in a short reply, maintained that he remained strong and committed to the legal process.

    “I have been attending all my court sittings… I will keep attending,” he said.

    He also noted that he had been participating in African Democratic Congress (ADC) meetings but missed the Ibadan opposition summit.

    Wider Debate on Justice System

    Sowore used the moment to reiterate his long-standing criticism of governance and accountability in Nigeria.

    “We are not all on the same side… even the oppressors are oppressing you now,” he said.

    The exchange has since sparked reactions, as debates around Nigeria’s justice system and political accountability continue.

  • Sowore Accuses MTN Of “Data Theft”, Sparks Fresh Outrage Among Subscribers

    Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has accused telecom giant MTN Nigeria of exploiting customers through what he described as rapid and unexplained data depletion.

    His comments, which surfaced in a viral video earlier this week, have triggered widespread reactions from subscribers who say they face similar experiences with mobile data usage.

    What Sowore said

    Sowore alleged that many Nigerians are being unfairly charged for data that does not last as expected, describing the situation in strong terms.

    “You’ll buy ₦5,000 worth of data and by the time you wake up, it would have disappeared. MTN is looting your data,” he said.

    He called for urgent scrutiny of telecom operators, insisting that consumers deserve transparency and accountability.

    Subscribers echo concerns

    The claims have reignited long-standing complaints among users who argue that data bundles often deplete faster than anticipated.

    Many subscribers have taken to social media to share similar frustrations, demanding clearer billing systems and better regulation of the telecom sector.

    Calls for regulation

    Sowore stressed that regulators must step in to address what he described as exploitation, noting that Nigerians are spending hard-earned money on services they do not fully understand.

    Analysts say the controversy highlights ongoing concerns around consumer protection, pricing transparency, and service accountability in Nigeria’s telecom industry.

    MTN Nigeria has yet to issue an official response to the allegations as of the time of filing this report.

  • Court Grants Blord Bail Amid Allegations Of Police Misconduct, Video Leak Scandal

    A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, after days of uncertainty surrounding his detention.

    The decision, which has attracted widespread attention, comes amid allegations of misconduct by security operatives handling his case.

    Court grants bail with conditions

    Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore confirmed the development on Friday, stating that the court approved bail on self-recognisance.

    He added that the defendant is required to submit his international passport as part of the bail conditions.

    “Bail has been granted… on self-recognizance. The court, however, ordered that he deposit his international passport,” Sowore said.

    Earlier, Sowore had indicated he was present in court during the hearing, expressing cautious optimism about the outcome.

    Allegations trail detention process

    The case has been overshadowed by claims of misconduct involving officers of the Nigeria Police Force, particularly those attached to the National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja.

    Some officers have been accused of abusing their authority and mishandling the detention process.

    Reports also alleged that a video recorded during Blord’s detention was leaked to social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.

    Claims of leaked and staged footage

    Sources claimed the video was shared deliberately to humiliate the businessman, raising concerns about professionalism within the force.

    “One of the officers… leaked a detention video… for the sole purpose of humiliating him,” a police source alleged.

    There were also claims that parts of the footage may have been staged, with officers reportedly creating scenes inside the detention facility.

    Another source described the incident as “cruelty, intimidation, and collusion.”

    Transfer to Kuje prison

    The situation reportedly shifted after the court declined to remand Blord at the NCCC facility, instead ordering his transfer to Kuje Correctional Centre.

    Sources said this move disrupted alleged plans tied to the earlier handling of his detention.

    Eyewitness accounts also claimed that VeryDarkMan followed the prison van conveying Blord to Kuje while livestreaming the movement online.

    Public scrutiny grows

    The case continues to generate reactions, with growing calls for accountability and transparency in how high-profile detainees are treated.
