akinsadeez:You don't know what you're saying. So GEJ. do not select court judgements to obey? What about that of Ayo Salami? Abi you were in France then? At least OBJ did witch-hunt his corrupt-political-enemies with Anti-graft agencies, GEJ would rather pardon them and give them national honors. Where were you when every comedian was making jokes of OBJ looking like an ape? You think GEJ can take that? Think again. I think Yar Adua is the only Liberal President we've had since 1999. GEJ is the most intolerant and weak. The opposition have exposed him. 3 Likes |

It is funny that Prof. Wole has now joined the opposition party as accused by the Presidency but remember that this same man was in front of critics against OBJ 1 Like |

TheRealMrStan: Why is it that any one who comes to speak his mind perhaps not in favour of the president is in the opposition. Mr Doyin Okupe should understand that criticism is an idea of checkmating ourselves. But Pa Prof. Wole Soyinka no try O... Nebuchadnezzar loun loun. |

aimuan: Please read my comment again cos its quite obvious you didn't understand it. Now, Soyinka at his age and status is fit to be an elder statesman. This means he is supposed to adopt an unbiased stance. Soyinka has been in an unhealthy romance with APC for quite a while now. This means that he criticises PDP quickly and always, while you will never hear him say anything about APC governors. are you saying all APC govs are saints If you can point out one recent example where he criticized an APC govt at any level, I will really appreciate it. Also I said Prof should profer solutions and not just criticize. Soyinka is an intellectual, so he should be able to distinguish himself from the band wagon of people criticizing GEJ everyday by thinking out of the box and suggesting alternatives. Whats wrong with Soyinka telling us ways by which we can confront and defeat boko haram instead of just criticizing. |

yorke1: Like he was biased on this one shey?........ The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the- scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order Buhari? Need one remind anyone – was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry. Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths – Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three Ogedengbe – was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc....... http://www.osundefender.org/?p=107456 I bet most of you slept in beer parlors the day wole wrote this piece against buhari including this same okupe and even GEJ. But today he is a friend of the APC because he spoke the whole truth to power. You guys are just pathetic. 4 Likes 1 Share |
