An analytical piece With Prof. Wole Soyinka He has obliged to sharing this with as many Nigerians as possible. Please share this with friends and the general public.

It’s No More about Subsidy Alone.

The American President has only TWO aircraft, our president has 9[Nine] in his fleet and was voted money recently to buy ONE more! Making it TEN!

The British prime Minister has only TWO official cars, our president has 23 in his pool and only recently voted 300Million Naira to buy TWO more bullet/bomb proof ones!

Senators in the US earn about $6,000 dollars monthly and that’s about what a university professor, or a director in a state department, or a doctor with 20years experience, or a teacher with 25years experience earn too, but Here in Nigeria a senator earns 245 million Naira per annum! That’s the salary of 25 vice chancellors, or 50 medical doctors, or 60 directors, or 500 school teachers!

The US, almost the size of Africa with about 500million people have 24 ministers, and 32 government parastatals and commisions, Nigeria has a whooping 42 cabinet ministers, and over 50[Fifty] government parastatals!

America with about 500million people and more mileage to drive consumes 39million litres of petrol daily, Nigeria with 150million people 60% out of which live in remote areas, yet our government tells us we consume about 35million litres of petrol daily!

2. Is Subsidy Really the Problem of Nigeria?

‘When you marry an illiterate woman as a wife, you will definitely make stupid decisions like jonathan’: wole soyinka spoke!
Our Dear President GoodLuck Jonathan has become a tyrant, a shandel, a shame, he has become the No.1 Enemy of Nigeria. Is this because we, Nigeria are yet to adopt to CHANGE? Change that only Jonathan can see? The End will justify everything. Pray for Nigeria! Pray for our Beloved Country!
We wonder if all this came from prof.

With due respect prof those issues existed before jonathan,no dout you are right but not 100% right because,in Africa we marry for love not by qualification.you don't divorce your wife because you attain a greater height.you are an activist not a politician therefore you owe Nigerians explaination on how much Gov Amaechi gave you to tarnish the image of our first lady.lastly,you don't have the moral confidence to talk on womanhood because you have divorced about four women.You are not our spokesman because you ignited and promoted cultism.stop fighting GEJ pleassssssssssse!

Am begin 2 suspect Soyinka wit his coment in recent time. What's btw him and Amachi. I pray he doesn't loose his dignity

“When You Marry An Illiterate Woman, You Make silly Decisions". This was the statement that made Soyinka issue the disclaimer that I'm going to post below.

That article was originally circulated (via facebook and BBM) during the fuel subsidy crisis of 2012. This was Soyinka's response:

[size=14pt]Soyinka raises alarm over alleged impersonation.[/size]

By Our Reporter ⁠12/01/2012 01:13:00

Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka yesterday raised the alarm over alleged impersonation of his name to circulate some electronic messages.

In a statement entitled: A Dangerous Game of Impersonation, the renowned playwright expressed anger over the use of his name for indecent circulation of electronic messages.

He urged security agencies to fish out the perpetrators and prosecute them.

The statement reads: “Once again, taking advantage of a situation of national unrest, some unscrupulous individuals have taken to circulating comments, often of a most distasteful, uncouth and unprincipled nature, in my name. I wish to inform the public that I do not Tweet, Blog, Facebook etc. etc. My public statements are signed and/or go through authorised channels that the media recognise and can authenticate where in doubt. Any electronic message that purports to emanate from me for general circulation through Mobile phones or Internet should be taken as a complete concoction, in most cases by deranged minds with their private and sick agenda.

“I must remind the public that these are not normal times, and that extreme caution and personal responsibility are needed. It is no time to be taken in by spurious propaganda by cowards who cannot speak in their own voices or acknowledge the names given to them at birth or even acquired during their nefarious careers.  

“Even more than the nausea one feels by being subjected to such identity embezzlement is the danger it poses generally, since it is certain that there are others who are similarly afflicted. One hopes therefore that the Security services, when called upon to assist in tracking down these felons, will recognise this goes beyond individual clamour and will act promptly, not only in unmasking, but in prosecuting them as befit criminal minds with the capacity for incalculable damage to an already fragile social fabric.”
