This is why u shouldn't vote Apc they are all desperate politician. Imagine buhari colliding with pple he once tag as a corrupt politician

Jees where are the APC e-rats, they'vê all taken to.their heels. Support for Buhari is shallow and out of sentiment. GEJ till 2019.

Though I disagree with some of his positions, he's right on the matter of APC and its directionless and lack of alternative policy ideas.

Who will stick with president of bokoharam that can't control his wife.
who will stick with a clueless president that don't have balls to prosecute currupt officials.
He will so lose on earth they will hear in heven

How many responsible and notable persons control their wives. In real life if you will want to know the higher a man goes in life the more he concedes things to his wife. This is so that third parties don't hear about disagreement with wife. It is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that you have grown. The word is not control but your wife having or becoming more domineering

Soyinka may go ahead to vote Jonathan. But as for me, na Buhari I dey vote for.

like say u get choice, as a slave to ur sentiment and tribal bigotry.

Person like SONYINKA makes me to love yoruba people with passion, but tinubu aka hausa's slave makes me hate them. Well am sure sizeable number of yorubas will vote for GEJ come 2015. Together let's stop those dengerous illiterate(hausas) from running the affairs of lugard's arrengement.

I hate long epistles

some one pls make it a thread

Gej 2015

OBJ too has spoken, please listen to the voice of the elders.

Hmmmmmm, remember Obj has said Soyinka may as well take to hunting aparo (guinea fowl), for his political analysis are nonsensical.

People do not read! NO where in this op-ed did Soyinka say anything!

This swipe, where was it advertised and what's it about? Who has a link to the original or is it fiction like TANoids have been known for. They have lied in Soyinka's name before.

The title of the article: Soyinka's ALLEGED Swipe at Buhari.

The first paragraph:

Prof. Wole Soyinka’s recently advertised opinion on Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flag bearer, is that Nigerians are best advised to stick with the incumbent President and re-elect him next year. Several interpretations have been given to that intervention, including the claim that it is driven by geo-ethnic sentiments. I disagree. Soyinka has never been afraid of his own voice. He is also not one to either gleefully endorse a person or platform he has reason to suspect of resting on wobbly foundations, or support the dismantling of a structure by persons who have not demonstrated convincing building skills. Let us contextualise Soyinka’s comments against the background of REALPOLITIK and the call for general up-scaling of serious leadership contestestation.

Comments and Questions: a recently advertised opinion should not be difficult to find. Where is a link to this Soyinka's opinion? And if the author of this piece was so sure, why did he employ a title bearing "ALLEGED"? Such an opinion does not exist. What Okey Ikechukwu is doing is appropriating a big man's name to advance his own narrow parochial interests.

Since Nairaland is PDP and PDP is Nairaland, it took a step further and put a categorical certainty on the title. "Stick with the incumbent and Re-elect him in 2015--Prof Wole Soyinka". Even the paid hack did not make such an assertion in his original worthless piece. But here we are, Nairaland is imposing an opinion that is not Soyinka's on him. [b]Where did Soyinka call for re-election of Jonathan? Can Seun provide the source?[/b]This is not propaganda, it's a totally shameful, dishonest endeavor.

We know Nairaland is now worthless and a shadow of it old self, but how low can you guys really go?

in France wetin concern.... #watching Merlin season 10

AKUNWATA1:
WELL SAID PROF

GEJ TILL 2019

WE CAN'T GO BACK!!!

Can Wole Soyinka even win a local govt. election ,If he can't ,then his words are irrelevant

I thought that wole was against Jonathan. Must he talk with both sides of mouth

Wole don't be woeful

But let’s get real! It is true that our patriotic General Buhari is honest as a person. But it is also true that we need more than personal honesty

for anyone to be a good leader anywhere in the world. Late Julius Nyerere of Tanzania was a painfully honest man. Like Buhari, he led a

transparent government and did not rob the state, or fraudulently accumulate personal wealth. Also like Buhari, after he left office, Nyerere

ended up in one tiny dilapidated house as further proof of his honesty as a public servant. The other truth is that Nyerere’s personal honesty

does not remove the fact that he failed to take advantage of what civilisation offered by way of improved governance practices and economic

leadership. Yes, he left office an honest man, but he also left a nation severely underdeveloped because he applied a template that would be

ideal for a small community of the close-kindred type to a nations-state and ended up with rather depressing results. As I write, Tanzania is

yet to recover from Julius Nyerere’s personal goodness and honesty.

I'm wondering too o. I'm googling and searching for the swipe. If there was a swipe, trust TANoids to have brought it to our notice the moment it came out. All we have is a columnist referencing something no one has seen or heard.

IBB also advice against Buhari.

Did u know Buhari is pro Abacha? He said Abacha was the only President that did not steal.

I think wole soyinka shud stick wit poems and dramas cos he doesn't know abt politics...

This is an opinion piece referencing what Soyinka said. What did he say and when? The piece was written by Okey Ikechukwu, it's not a news article. U r not stupid o

These people cannot be trusted

Very treacherous.

Was he not the person that called GEJ Nebuchadnezzar the other day?

Or is he trying to redeem his image.

Wisdom is a function of Humility and indeed the Principle thing

The same Soyinka that likened GEJ to the infamous king Nebudchanezzeir


Lols... I see the mods pushing this to the frontpage cos GEJ's feather is stroked @ the expense of other wonderful threads at the back

Issokay;- but still GMB to kick the thieving militant back to his otuoke

IBB advises now via hopefornigeria Facebook page. You TANoids are just desperate and will go to any length to make a lie truth.

My greatest happiness in life will be;
1. Buhari was killed in a bomblast in mecca
2. Earthquake wiped the whole of sokoto, kano, bruno,kastina,bauchi,zamfara,all the core norht and 60 million muslims died.
3.The moon fall on the middle east and kill all of them excluding israel.
4.Nations are banning the practice of islam.
5.Pakistan atomic bomb exploded amd kill all of them.
I will be very happy and I will drink bear that daym
