Sowore Celebrates 20 Years Of Launching Sahara Reporters In New York With A Throwback Photo

Some twenty years ago, the media platform @SaharaReporters was launched in New York, and the landscape of journalism has never been the same since.

What began as a bold experiment in citizen-driven investigative reporting grew into a disruptive force that challenged entrenched power, amplified unheard voices, and redefined accountability in Nigerian and African media. It shifted the balance, proving that journalism could be fearless, borderless, and uncompromising. #SR@20! #ReportYourself

*This was what I looked like on February 18, 2006, the day @SaharaReporters Reporters was launched in New York City.

We had no powerful backers, no establishment protection, just raw conviction, courage, and a small circle of determined believers. Behind the scenes were insiders willing to leak the truth, powerful writers who risked careers, citizen journalists who sent in evidence from the shadows, legal minds who stood guard when the threats came, and a quiet but unshakeable support system that made survival possible.

The full story of the risks, the victories, the midnight strategy sessions, the lawsuits, the exile years, and the stubborn refusal to be silenced will one day be told properly. In text. And in film.
