kenifeh: This is the state of the Nigeria educational system. People should learn to read and understand before talking anyhow in public forums. Wole Soyinka was referring to the rich resource endowment of the Niger-Delta, and he never called Patience Jonathan a hippopotamus. Read the context in which that statement was made. He was indirectly saying that oil, which is the main issue causing the crises, is not the only rich resource of the region. People should look into the waters for solution, "the kingdom of God is within and around us".hmmmm..Oga lecturer, it is you that doesn't understand a word of what the highly cerebral prof was saying. Am sure if he read what you posted above, he'll just go into a fit of grins and chuckles. That 'hippo' allegory was actually a jab to PEJ's jaw in a way that the comical 'invisible man' would have dealt with an avowed villain. So Oga, it is you who shud go add to your language-deciphering skill. |
