Olabode971: If an Igbo guy like me isn't fighting for secession, it's absurd you are. What benefit could secession probably bring to yoruba land? |

LegendHero: He was the hero of many Nigerians... Till he decided, for once in his life, to run by emotions and campaign for a coupists and dictator in Buhari- the very category of people he fought in 1965. He needs to write a book on what drove his thinking. |

madridsta007: What drove his thinking was because Jonathan was a clueless president that ran a government of gross looting and also supervised a government that looked away when Boko Haram were busy killing people in the NE and bombing the Federal capital territory. Any sane thinking man will vote out Jonathan in 2015. It is anybody BUT Jonathan. So sane people like Wole Soyinka and myself supported the strongest contender (Buhari) against Jonathan in 2015. However when Buhari turned out to be a more clueless president, he also supervised a government that couldn't solve countless Fulani Herdsmen killing and Boko Haram are still kiling people. Wole Soyinka did not support him in 2019 and that is well documented in the media. That is a man that have his brain to think. Can you see why he supported Buhari in 2015 and opposed him in 2019? |

Olabode971: I love the cultural diversity. All we need is restructuring and Nigeria would be better than it's recent state. Firstly, we try to control bigotry, it should be seen as a crime. |

Did Enahoro n Joseph Tarka not join NPN while Awolowo was alive. Did Awo himself not commit sucide? My friend go n think how your life n coming generation will be better. |

LegendHero: Well educated Nigerians saw and believed Jonathan, Phd holder, as a remedy to past misrule in hands of military and ex-military and had hoped Nigeria would take a new turn in policy-making and leadership. If that happened it would provide legitimacy and cement their advocacy that Nigeria was ruined by military intervention and the exclusion of uniformed men from future rulership was in the national interest. They were not only dissapointed, they were grossly offended by Jonathan's misrule. Jonathan performed worse than ex-military Obasanjo. He was worse than Shagari. Academicians had their hope smashed in their face.....they had to swallow their vomit and returned to the line of ex-military they had hoped to leave in the past. Nigeria was so soiled by the ogogoro drinker and his Ebele clan that we needed a washer-man to do cleansing. Se you get? Legend, the people you are preaching to do not care about the logic behind Jonathan's ouster. They are pained because "our son" was kicked out. They were not interested in the future that people like yourself and Prof were projecting. Jonathan lost an opportunity to become a legend!

LegendHero: This is where we would need his book: However when Buhari turned out to be a more clueless president, he also supervised a government that couldn't solve countless Fulani Herdsmen killing and Boko Haram are still kiling people. This was CLEARLY obvious to anyone that’s has read about Buhari and was okay to objectively analyse what he had read. There’s nothing shocking or new about the bigotry, incompetence, aloofness, governmentlessness which Buhari has displayed. I would want to assume that Soyinka has read about the history of Buhari. It is in plenty books. He has probably read about him more than anyone of us here. He of course knows how Buhari was close to Abacha, a dictator who chased Soyinka to exile. It would be interesting to understand his thinking for 2015. That Buhari had miraculously transformed? Or that magic was put in Buhari’s head which hasn’t worked or something? He probably knows something that we don’t know. 1 Like |

MetaPhysical: You have said it all. Nothing to add and nothing to remove brother. However your last statement caught my fancy i.e. "Jonathan lost an opportunity to become a legend". He truly lost a great opportunity to become a legend and he is a disgrace to the intellectual title of PhD! |

Nooil: Oh, wanting a free Yoruba nation is being tribalistic? Interesting line of thought. Most of you don't know that the amalgamation of various disparate ethnicities into one country was a crime committed against the black people. I am tired of rehashing this particular theory. Like I said in another place on this forum, the elite would love to keep one Nigeria because they benefit from it's dysfunction. The not so rich are hanging on to one Nigeria because of sentiments. None of the various ethnicities in Nigeria will ever make any progress beyond what we have today. The same issues we were talking about in the 70s and 80s are still the same ones we are talking about today, 40 yrs later. There's nothing wrong with wanting progress for my people. It's nothing personal. I know first-hand the progress the Yorubas made when we practiced regionalism. And I compare it to today and I see the retrogression we've made ever since then. I owe no one any apologies for wanting a better life for the Yoruba people. It doesn't stop others from wanting and getting a better life for their own people too, unless their happiness depends on Yorubas' backwardness, then we gon have trouble. |

Olabode971: But how will he have 1 million people when people like you refused to come out? Or is it ghosts that will make up the one million? He carried the youths along. He told them where they were all to meet for the rally. He released the demands the Nigerian youths were asking of the federal government. Still, you didn't show up. |
