A virtuos woman does nt meddle in his huband's affairs. She's just a clintonwannabe.

soyinka statement has no element of profness in it. i read with much zest to see him mention where and how d first lady involved her self ind crisis but saw. It is embarrasing for someone like wil summond d press to make such remark about d fi rst lady. Shame

Women are vessels of honour and dignity due to their complimentary roles in the family and the duty making sure everything is ok. I respect my mother and wife, they are good examples.
However, politically, nobody voted for any first lady. Even if we now have an unconstitutional office of the first lady, it should be used judiciously for a good course to compliment the office of the president. I commend greatly the ever-humble Mrs Fashola of Lagos state and some other first ladies who never allow their offices to be-cloud their sense of reasoning. Political office holders should remember that they are citizens and that they will come back. Women in power should try to put aside the dominant inherent emotion of pride and the i-am-superior syndrome. I know president Jonathan is humble and he should lecture his wife on leadership 101. The truth is always the truth, Rt hon Amaechi may not be 100% right in his ways, but no one should use unconstitutional means to correct the perceived wrongs. I may not be 100% correct, but that is my opinion.

"..... that she should be a lady first before being a first lady"

The Prof has spoken!

A day is coming in Nigeria when monkey will go market. And he will not come back

domcarez: Shut the crap Wole Soyinka, you are just an APC supporter in disguise....how could u take sides in this issue instead of being objective....that means u wole soyinka believes Amaechi is a saint right...mtchewww..jobless noble laureate looking for presidential recognition..

Stop blabbing. Saying WS is looking for Presidential recognition is like saying Obama is looking for chieftancy title. WS has passed that stage a long long time ago, by using his brain. Tommorow, Jonathan and Patience will be out of power and go back to Bayelsa, but WS will still be where he is (rubbing shoulder with the likes of Obama and Mandela.)

What's wrong with that woman? She should just find one place to sit down jejely and let the country hear better things.

Pygru: Wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Friday took on the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, for attributing the crisis in the Rivers State House of Assembly to her.
In a statement by her spokesman, Ayo Osinlu, the President’s wife said Soyinka betrayed the moral duty that expected him, as a respected member of the society, to carefully consider all shades of issues that informed his opinions on any matter.
Mrs. Jonathan said Soyinka had become an embarrassment to his admirers with his diatribe against her.
The statement read in part, “Unfortunately, Soyinka betrayed moral duty in his recent diatribe against Mrs. Patience Jonathan.
“Of course, this would not be the first time he would reach out against the First Lady, usually from self-righteously indignant lecterns.
“In this particular instance, his verdict was that Mrs. Jonathan was ‘stoking the crisis currently rocking her home state of Rivers…’, and thereupon asked Mr. President to caution his wife.
“The good, old Prof. reminds one of the truth that indeed, most of the giants on the street are men of like passions like everyone else. Worse still, most of them are actually standing on clay feet and would fail the test of a gentle push.
“Otherwise, who would have believed that the social, civil, constitutional and sundry rights crusader Prof. would maintain a safe distance from the heart ofan activity that is a potential threat to the peace, security and safety of the people ofa state, then collect exaggerated stories and jaundiced perspectives from familiar propagandists and character assassins, and promptly summon the media to a “state of the nation” address.
“It’s an embarrassment to his throng of admirers and followers, that a sage of Prof. Soyinka’s status, who used to be a gauge of public morality in this nation, would lend himself to a propaganda of high drive, to save a governor who elected to launch into a river without applicable survival skills.”
Mrs. Jonathan argued that the calculation was to attack the President and pull to pieces anyone associated with him, as a strategy for attracting public sympathy to the “clear underdog.”

Maxymilliano: I don't see why anyone should blame PEJ for replying Prof in like manner.

WS threw the first stone, PEJ responded ... Fair game!
