Nigerians react as Sowore leaves Kuje prison
@MarvellousIsra3
The same old script — arrest, noise, release, repeat. Nigerian politics is starting to look like a badly written TV series with endless seasons and no progress. Na the same thing jare.
@Northernkid01
Nice one, brother, at least you have been able to remove the suspicion that you are working with
@officialABAT against @MaziNnamdiKanu, however, I don't buy it.
@humanistadeyemi
So those shouting that Sowore was a distraction couldn't do anything meaningful against the government until he was released. Since they removed the "distraction", I thought they would have shut down the country.

I love it when the fighting spirit isn't broken down along intimidation from the oppressors.
The echoes of victory are great.

Sir, @YeleSowore, when you finally become the president of this country, I know you will write volumes of books about your Prison adventures in Nigeria.

That place has become your natural habitat; it's only a matter of time before you go back again.
@Emmbee_brown
You always dey look fresh anytime you enter that prison. Abi na that type of Sanda prison you dey?
@ArcSadam
Four days in Kuje and you're already acting like Mandela. Next time, respect the law before you start crying ‘illegal detention.’ Actions get consequences.
@Nwikbaba_001
This government has turned the rule of law into a joke. Detaining people illegally is now the new normal. When injustice becomes policy, resistance becomes duty.
Welcome back, my leader.
