SOYINKA like Mbaka should speak less. men of honour don't speak for the sake of being heard, they speak because they have an important message to pass. these two are just making a noise!

Afonjas are like most women that doesn't know what they want and cannot be pleased.

You need to work on your English instead of wasting your life being tribalistic.

You do not want background ruling yet you preferred Buhari to the man with civilian background. That is total contradiction. Talking from both sides of the mouth.

Prof where are we now...better or worse? Almost every sector isn't working. The army and CTU men stationed at bridge head Onitsha end are now toll collectors leaving the security they are there for. Prof answer.

When Obasanjo took over,Nigeria was sinking. When Yaradua took over,Nigeria was sinking. When Jonathan took over,Nigeria was still sinking.Name me one Nigeria President who took over with an economy that was booming? Our father's generation are just a destructive generation no other generation should pray to be like.

Hard truth.

For Nigerians to risk voting for a former military dictator then GEJ must have messed up badly. He had the opportunity to clean up Nigeria but went the way of those before him. I agree with the Prof that we should stop voting these refurbished military leaders back into power but for now we need someone bold to take the reins.

We All Know it was sinking, but right now we are downing so fast like a piece of rock thrown into a River .

#Atiku2019

We're not drowning fast in a river as you claim, rather we've hit rock bottom of the Pacific Ocean. undecided

That's not talking from both sides of the mouth. Buhari was the better choice then, Prof. now progressed further that in future, its high time we weaned Nigeria from anyone with military backgrounds due to Buhari's no show of anything tangible.

WOLE SOYINKA:
>AWOL soldier!
>AGARACHA!
>Mr. Welcome Back PACK!
(...ur green card 'torn' or thrown away?)

WOLE, the gods are not to blame this time.
In Nigeria, things fall apart because the center can not hold.
There is no chance for you in the ruling APC government or the the rebouncing PDP. You ran away when Nigeria wanted someone like you.
Settle down first with the prevailing recession already known by APC before coming to office.
Even if they have denied same.

And Buhari's government always tops them all in failure. All other leaders we've had performed below par but Buhari eclipsed their performances negatively.

If an economy that grew well over 6% yearly for about 6 years and became Africa's largest economy, investment in agric, infratructure (roads, railway, airports, etc), new universities, attracting Nissan car plant and others was sinking, what is Buhari's recession-stricken Nigeria doing now?

Obviously digging the seabed to go further under. shocked

......and Buhari saved Nigeria from sinking with the results that we see today.
Oga, in as much as I respect you academically, please don't push your luck too far with Buhari issues. Nigerians are no longer that stupid to buy this Bullshit.

Soyinka should just shut up and go underground.
So after joining to drag us into this mess,he ran to the Us to avoid the recession they brought with buhari leaving poorer zombies to suffer it

Auto reset

Check for the shock Absorber

LOL, angry IPOB youths wouldn't like this at all; because it is an endorsement of PMB over GEJ where he said the former was a better candidate to lead Nigeria between the two; it is also an affirmation of GEJ's past mismanagement and responsibility for our current economic woes.

LOL, watch them as they'll soon start insulting and abusing Wole for this statement.
