Billionaires: Let him use big big english...lol. The man meditates on dictionary everyday, leadership is not by 'book' knowledge.

pistol: That man has bEen overhyped by the Nigerian press,
Making him look larger than life.
I just shake my head anytime I see the man.
Crisscrossing the country giving his jaundiced and biased opinion like we give a damn.
He should rather channel his energy at publishing a book and a masterpiece rather than charting into a course he knows nothing about.

Maidoki14: Wen d prof.speaks let all ye be silence!

bloggernaija: Because amaechi is irrelevant in the scheme of things.
the flagrant abuse of the constitution is the main beef.
Same way it was the same abuse of constitution when turai had Jonathan 's under her armpit.
Soyinka ,Bakare etc could not care less if the players were aliens ,baboons or a bonobo monkey

homesteady:

Please explain How is Amaechi irrelevant to the case!!

homesteady: All them ACN! Vultures have avoided this thread oh!! Let them come and give us reasons why he has not condemned Amaechi!! But has already condemned Dame Jonathan who is far away in china!!

A-ZeD:

Unlike you, the prof has a working brain. When you want to kill a tree, you cut off the roots not the branches. PEJ and her husband are the root of this problem. Let her stay in Abuja and mind her business. If she has to go to Rivers state, she should respect the Governor as the number one citizen of the state.
The constitution recognizes GEJ not her.
In order words, Patience is to been seen but not heard.

samuelkaykay: oil money in action.Prof is sincere but bias.

Maidoki14: Wen d prof.speaks let all ye be silence!

la_unique: I must say that I am deeply disappointed by the Prof's recent comments, especially concerning the one on the Rivers State crisis where he said that Jonathan should be held responsible should Amaechi be killed. For me that is very irresponsible and coming from an elder statesman like Soyinka who is mentioned in the same breath as the greatest in Africa like Mandela and Achebe it is even more saddening. So tomorrow if someone from Amaechi's village in Ikwerre who has been fighting with Amaechi over his father's parcel of land goes and kills him Jonathan would then be held responsible?

ikennaoma: U guys should think b4 opposing proff. I support his statement. One following the story well will know that Amaechi didn't send anybody to go and beat up any law maker. D gentle was in his office when it all started. He came in other 2 calm d situation down.what happened after his departure is not traceable 2 him. In the other way round d way our first lady is going about parading herself is 2 appalling. Never in d history of Nigeria have we hard of d first lady telling a gov what 2 do nd not what 2 do in his own state. Let's tell ourselves d truth.

jmaine:

You don't need to lie shamelessly here like a dude who claimed the policeman caught on camera brutalizing Chinda was trying to separate the warring faction.

Gov Amaechi was present when Chidi Lloyd deployed his planking skills on Chinda. Coming here to distort the truth won't do justice to your camp.
