Omoyele Sowore is a Nigerian, yet he holds legal residency in the United States through his Green Card. His wife and two children are U.S. citizens. He is not poor, his family is not suffering. He is financially comfortable, even wealthy in both Naira and Dollars, and he lives a good life.

But here is the question: How many Nigerians, if they were in Sowore’s position, would be willing to risk their lives for the betterment of this country?
Let’s be honest if many Nigerians attained the kind of comfort, security, and opportunities Sowore enjoys, they would completely erase Nigeria from their hearts, minds, and souls. They would move on and never look back.
Yet despite his privileged status, Sowore remains a consistent voice for the oppressed and a genuine advocate for good governance. He speaks out when many choose silence. He stands firm when others retreat into comfort. We may not agree with everything he says his approach is often confrontational and bold but he deserves his flowers.
What is most painful is seeing poor and oppressed Nigerians using their own voices to badmouth someone who is fighting for them. Instead of support, they offer insults. Instead of appreciation, they spread hate.
May God Almighty have mercy on them and restore their sense of right and wrong.
