God bless you... By d way, I honestly dont know why dis shld even be taken so much space: d National shld simply reject dis particle item in d budget cos d 1st Ladies Office is unconstitutional and so cannot be appropiated for regardless of how beneficial the project is, Period. If d NA refuse to do dis, am sure a Lawyer wud go to the Courts to strike it down... Abeg, let me go and do beta tins wit my time.

See the way sm small minds hv even turn dis topic to Achebe Vs Soyinka, Yoruba Vs Igbo sillly debates.....*smh*

Why Fashola? What can he possibly do in this case?
Commendable though!

Keep it up.

What is this drivel? Leave it to tribalistic yoruba monkeys like u to rubbish the good intended efforts of Prof. Soyinka, by adding an ethnic spin to it. Both professors u alluded to have been known to stick by the truth, regardless of whose ox is gored...especially, that American based one.
No need to play dodgeball with whom u were referring to, we all know. If u are dense enough to make that statement, u might as well stand by it.

midetinz: ARE YOU SIMPLY STUPID OR OR PROUDLY IGNORANT? THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT JONATHAN AND HIS WIFE NOT FASHOLA......PLS GO BACK TO MACMILLIAN SERIES ON ENGLISH GRAMMAR,YOU SURELY NEED TO BE GRAMMATICALLY EDUCATED!
YOUR RUSTY MINDSET HAS BEEN FINETUNED TO WITCH HAUNT LAGOS STATE........STEWPID EEDIOT.

This is not issue of abuse it is about learning and be a good followers so as to produce good leaders for the nation.It is not an issue of Fashola and Jonathan but about policy and issues. If Fashola who enjoy quality and purposive education free of charge and other paid so call Civil Right Organization who are available at all time for a fee! Compare the 4 billion allocated to build structure for 1st Lady in Nigeria that is not transferable and the 350,000 that messenger in Alausa will have to pay for His ward in LASU. Put politics aside and search your conscience.

Is there no other Hall capable of hosting African first ladies in Abuja? Or there are no hotels to lodge them... See how they waste our money building unnecessary monuments just for vain glory... Thank you soyinka, we need known figures to oppose govt excesses becos dem nor go ever hear poor man pikin like me.

Wole, Fash and the good women of Nigeria, i hail and salute you. This is what we want. Please keep it up. God bless you all. But to the selfish and self-centered Nigerians, to hell with you and your belongings. Some Nigerians are more corrupt than the most corrupt millitry officers and politicians. Among are the ones who speak against this protest. Very stupid of them. Except we change our corrupt and selfish mentalities, nothing good we come out of this country, this is not a course but sincererity.

Demdem:

Foolish man. Its Retardeeness house and not for the wife of fashola. read again.
The waste is from FG-FCT and not LASG.

Thank your jare

hey Mr man the topic here is not about lasu school fees. Kindly open another thread for the lasu fees issue. Nothing quality comes cheap

Soyinka bn jealous!!!! Sounds so retarded

Retard

Only God knowns how some people reason. There is an issue that concerns the whole country and some people think is a joking matter. Can't we be serious for once and let's reason together on how to move Nija forward but instead it was something else for some people. Anyway,Prof and others ve played their own quota for the development of this country, I can't imagine how on earth the so called leaders reason. If I may ask, how many Nigerians are going to benefit from this Mission house. GEJ, what you promised during your campaign is the opposite side of it for Nigerians. Also, ve u considered d less priveledge in the society? What about the young Nigerian graduate that are jobless? Remember God dey o.

Symphony007: prof. Soyinka claims to fight for the poor and against bad governance but he is recieving millions from chibuike ameachi to go to rivers state and give lectures prasing ameachi's dismal performance. He recieves millions in speaking fees to attend south south governours forum and praise some of the thieves there for "good and examplary" government, prof. Achebe has kept away from the filt associated with the nigerian government on all levels and even keeps away from the country till sanity is restored, so he has a moral highground to point out their shambolic ways. Not a person who takes from the government with one hand and holds a protest plank card with another. no matter what i still respect and love the prof. But he he can't serves two masters at a time.

U r a disgrace 2 ur family & next generation, is this the legacy u r leaving 4 ur kids?

Seriously, I have to stand with them on this, N4billion? This money can indeed create jobs if utilized appropriately. The office of Madam Jonathan is not recognized, GEJ is rich, he can fund it from his pocket if she so deserves.

Madam Patience wan to take Women August Meeting to international level. What is the work of the first lady self. Disadvantages of been a House Wife

FCT Minister Pls i really need that contract we an indigeous company who specialised in construction.

calcal:

Where is Achebe?

In the US after being confined to a wheelchair due to a bad car accident he was in when visiting Nigeria mean years ago.

Mandelaguy: The so called angel Fashola.......hehehehehehehe too bad. Where are those rabid dogs extolling his virtues? Is the first lady 's position constitutional to warrant such waste of Lagosians resources ? That is how they will kill us at the centre with unnecessary and bogus projects. Of course Soyinka is the man, his track record is impeccable, check!

this shows how much you loath fashola. you didn't even take your time to read the news before castigating the guy. who told you it is fashola that is building 4b naira first lady house project. guy, get life for your self.

Mandelaguy: Sorry to tell you that I have an M.Sc in Epidemiology and in genetic engineering. That is two, I bet you don't know what I am talking about? F**k your jamb, most of your professors cannot thread where I do, even you(jamb product) so keep quiet and learn about psychoanalysis (what I am taking you guys through). I am seriously catching fun, knowing every antagonist needs an enemy real or perceived to function. I am that enemy you are looking for.

You be MUMU number one. so, your are so blind folded by this your nonesense M.Sc. that you can't reason again. god purnish you. olodo.

Are you afraid the dilapidated house known as Nigeria is about to collapse?

ODUSINA: I think the proffersor just want to be noticed . If truly he wants the presidency to change there mind on this, he should have done the protest in Abuja not Alahusa

If you don't have anything good to say why don't you just move on, Insulting a man like that who is internationally recognized is just showing that you don't have class man.

~Bluetooth:


Achebe is a bigot while Soyinka is a peacemaker.beside his books are full of lies.what has he done for Nigeria ? Nothing other than spreading lies and hatred in the minds his children.

You are one of the reasons people detest the type of free-education introduced in western region of Nigeria, olodo.

Dede1:

exactly what we were afraid would happen in 1967-1970.
But to our surprise it is still standing and waxing stronger!

Yea, after your useless hate filled innuendos and suppository venom, it will take you four years(4yrs) and living in the U.K and Germany to achieve the double masters feat. I am still several classes above you just as GEJ is something you can only dream of attaining.

Mandelaguy: Leave Achebe and focus on the issue at hand. Check the topic, it did not say "Soyinka versus Achebe". Comment on what is been discussed or park.

And when he is parking, he should park well.

This is actually an impeachable offence, is the first lady and office recognised in the constitution of Nigeria?

Shut up. Wole soyinka never criticized Achebe's memoir,how could he? When he supported biafra and was jailed for it. Don't use him for your stupid ngati bigotry.

I dedicate dis post to Tolexander. If dem leave dem now, dey start making a fool of demselves by comparing soyinka to Achebe. Since everything must go triba among dem.
If dey dnt like a truthful book abt a writer because he pointed an accusing finger on Awolowo, dey can go and hug d transformer.
How dose ppl can b uninformed, awolowo evn attested in an international journal dat he did those blockade tnz- stressing datz how he showed his patriotism to his country. N today, some yorubas will dare say Awolo didnt do it. These are well documented.
Wole Soyinka shd go and meet d FG, dose of u saying due process are misled. Fashola wont change anything, its not his idea, nt evn in his powers.......

no ma ngozi! I av always known you to be igbo ethnocentric, bigot and tribalist like Chinua Achebe. Check all my posts, am not a tribalist but always try to counter anything achebe's 'there was a country'. Did you read the book in question? If you weren't bias enough, though you are very ethnocentric like i've known you to be, you will understand that the book is one sided when you compare the known fictionist history to the real historean's history of nigeria.

romanlaw:

If Soyinka is so wise and a peace fighter why didnt he take the protest to Abuja....what concerns a state governor with such federal issue.

Soyinka dey fear fear.
