Prof. Wole Soyinka Endorses Goodluck Jonathan For 2015

"Even though I have said it time and time again that the president should control his wife but there is something significant about Mr. President.

He is the first president without any ties to the military mafia. All his children are in schools here in Nigeria. You cannot come across a skyscraper in any corner of Nigeria and people will tell you it belongs to him; even a seven storey building.

I strongly believe that GEJ is a phenomenal change from before and if we cannot find a better, young alternative, then we must remain with him until we can groom someone better.

This is no time to go back to the military mafia and go back to our vomit"

- Prof. Wole Soyinka

Hmm

Soyinka...why now

Comfirm yarn from the prof

Nah my man

See desperation!

GEJ supporters becoming objects of ridicule without them realizing it!

Why couldn't you provide the link to this story, if it wasn't one of the recycled old lies, half-truths, conjectures and outright criminal impersonation that you have been so relentlessly filling up this forum with?

If anybody reads Wole's works and remarks, that person will know that such crass and uninspiring trash bears no remote resemblance to his manner of expression. Wole discusses ideas not people's children and where they school. That can never be a big deal to Wole because even he schooled abroad. So I struggle to see why he would stoop so low as to discuss the school choice(s) of the children of someone half his age. Also, what's that crap about finding skyscrapers? How many corrupt politicians own skyscrapers, and how does not owning a skyscraper preclude one from being corrupt?

Finally, even you, the OP, cannot possibly conceive of any existing universe where Wole would refer to GEJ as a "phenomenal change", except he was specifically referring to his lascivious flirtations with corruption, and the unbridled sense of camaraderie which he shares with other convicted felons (i.e. Depriye and Bode). That, of course is unprecedented in the history of Nigeria, and deserves the tag "phenomenal".

I understand why the endorsement of someone of Wole's class would mean so much to you, but please put your desperation on a leash and refrain from desecrating Wole's intelligence so crudely, it's actually excruciating!

Thanks.

Honestly, GEJ has failed in several areas and we need change. But Buhari is not an option,I repeat Buhari is not an option. Every intellectual knows this.

and u think Kongi will support a military despot for a first term?

OP, you no try at all.

Don't you have a thoroughly educated person around you to assist in composing something similar to the Prof's?

remember that PDP = People Deceiving People

Bring your option

Are you talking of this same Prof. Wole Soyinka who said?:

Only four sets of people can vote for PDP according:

(1) Those who are intellectually blind, - The unwise ones

(2) those who are blinded by ethnicity, - The bigots

(3) those who are blinded by corruption and therefore afraid of the unknown, should power change hands, - The corrupt ones

(4) those who are suffering from a combination of the above terminal sicknesses"

Buhari contested then as well. Did the professor say his comments were meant for Ribadu?

My four year old daughter would reason better than what you've written here!

The prof is making use of his brain again

Wole actually endorsed Ribadu live on Aljazeera.

The same folks who insulted him left, right and centre for Sheppopotemus to order are now begging for his endorsement.

GMB all the way!
