He certainly doesn't need to grant this type of interview at this moment in time, it's going to do more harm than good. A Yoruba proverb says: moja mosa la n mo akinkanju logun, akinkanju to moja ti ko mosa iru won ma n bogun lo ni..
Translates as: a great warrior is known by his abilty to lead offensive attack as well to retreat when necessary, a warrior who only knows how to attack but does not know when to retreat will surely be a war casualty at some point.

ALTRUTH: Stop being silly by refering to dis "Jesus Christ" thing now and den, it wz jst one man dat said so. We are talking somethng else here pls.

You see the poster I replied to has shown in his post that he's intelligent and well mannered enough to be given a reply, the same cannot be said of you and your ilk so buzz off.

remark D: and do you not think that likewise, if the Prof. can bring himself to the level of exchanging words with PEJ, and uses derisive words at her person.... then those whom feel he did not behave well and "crossed the line".... should not be antagonized for calling him names, like the Mad Old Prof., too?

Those that bring his marriage into the whole mess are not off the mark by arguing that his failed marriages could be a reason he doesn't se anything wrong with calling a lady names the way he did.. I don't think by the way, that this has to do with the wife of the president... any lady should not be addressed that way, simple and short - irrespective, I must add, to her misgivings.

Again, take for example a girl or lady that provokes a man (whom is by all means stronger than she is... ) and the lady even goes to the extent of laying her hands on him.... will you justify the ma beating the lady? will you be saying that "the ladys generation cant tie his shoe lace" "the man is so qualified and of a different class..." and so on and so forth.... what has the man's past achievements have to do with the fact,r or lemme say.... makes him justified enough to beat the woman... while others, everyone else keeps mute or look away....

I don't know if you see where I am coming from.... we have to learn to call a spade a spade. ho ha.

The OP and many like him are free to call professor Wole Soyinka any names they like, in fact their jesus christ on earth too is free to run her mouth in whatever manner especially if they feel there is a justification to do so. However, their continue reference to Pej as someone's mother or wife doee not hold water that is the basis of my argument. When pej locked down port Harcourt for days how many mothers and fathers were prevented from going about their normal lives? When he berated Ameachi in public did she forget that Ameachi is someone's father and husband?
So whatever names you call someone does not matter as its your personal choice but how history will remember you and I is what matters.

akpomeme: Rant of another mad dog. MOP has spoken again today on the same issue. Read today's paper... The old man has lost it.

You're the mad dog here, the likes of you belong to asylum, simpleton like you should be sacrificed to Ogun or even Amadioha to allow Nigeria to move forward. You better go and find a job to do now as time wait for no man otherwise you'll live in penury at your old age.

oyb: The fact of the matter is that all this morality talk is a smokescreen. We never hear of 9 year olds marrying 9 year olds. It is always a much older man, marrying a sexually immature child. Perhaps if oyibo pedopiles realize nigeria is a safe haven for them and flood nigeria you will understand.

You want to stop promiscuity, you start a campaign. You catch people, give them the 100 strokes. Of course since the male is usually a paddy in senate that wont happen

Most of these so called bethrothals are in the same vein as people sending their kids to become housemaids. Do you see yerima bethroting his kids to his age mates? Is he not worried about their promiscuity?

Exactly! Promiscuity is not an excuse, in fact promiscuity is a sign of failure from the parents, the govt and the society at large. You cannot tackle promiscuity or even unwanted pregnancy by legislation.

But some e-warriors believes Asari always says the 'truth' The other day when he threatened fire and brimstone if gej is not allowed to serve 2 terms they said he's telling the truth, also when he stated that Yorubas will commit political suicide if they join APC they also said he's telling the truth and again when he tongue lashed Tam David West they also said he's telling the truth. It looks like the word 'truth' means 'only when it suits us' to some people

kingbang: Are you trying to justify verbally assaulting someone's wife and mother? What happened to decorum? What happened to Civility? What happened to constructive criticism? Don't make me start with you please.

Enough of this another man's wife and mother bu11sh1t, stop pretending as if you and your ilk respect women more than the rest of us do.Respect is earned and you don't get it by default all the time. If this another man's wife or mother failed to respect herself and chosed to dance naked in the market square shoppers and passerby alike would not hesitate to sing songs of shame to her.
A Yoruba proverb says: Agbalagba to so agbado mo idi ti so ara e di alawada adie
Translates as: An elder who tie corn on his waist has turned himself to chickens (hen and cock) playmates.
Please tell your mother, your jesus christ on earth to respect herself and stop displaying her arrogance and uncouth behaviour everywhere.

@556
Please remove those pictures, you can't defeat bigotry with bigotry please let's show some respect.

@OP
Go and get a job so that you can at least be relevant in life, so that your existence is not forgotten even while you are still alive, you loathe Wole Soyinka just because he berated your 'Jesus christ' and to vent your frustration all you can do is open threads after thread to spew rubbish about him.

One thing I can assure you is that Soyinka's name will always be written in gold in Nigerian history, in literature and even in Biafran history. So mr akpors your useless and shallow opinion does not matter, it's just a rant of an ant.
So in your best interest find something useful to do with your time because in your old age this your 'jesus christ' will no longer be available to feed you, however if you like continue to waste the better part of your life to defame the personality of people who have make their mark, your existence will be forgotten while you are still alive.

uncleb: I guess you wanna use this post to get popular on this forum! Poor you you cant even make the front page.

Bakare has gone beyond obsucrity. He is a famous and successful person, as a clergy, barrister or if you like politician.

Way back back 2001 and 2002 even as a student pastor, i knew how many colleagues of mine that have been raised by Bakare. They are very sound when it comes to the scripture and you know what? they were very fearless.

I know how many churches today that spring froth from LRA. If you care to know Bakare encourages people to grow and go out to establish their own ministries. he is not the selfish type like you and your sponsors.
Abeg I shouldnt be wasting my time on people like you.

Don't mind the yeye OP he thought having many branches and possibly flying on private jet translates to being successful.

Omexonomy: community service for stealing abi. Is that why most peeps from ur region are s.tupi.d lazy thieves

Stupeed tribalist, na your hatred and bigotry go kill you one day. The punishment is not for stealing but for contempt of court but as your eyes and brain is full of hatred for our tribe you can no longer read and comprehend properly. Ewu gambia

kettykin: I asked a salient question which only one person saw reasons with me. well for those who dont know, a coup will lead to succession crises and a big crises in the army and in the country.

First any coup right now even if it succeeds will not be led and supported by an igbo or Niger Deltan, this leave the core North and the Middle belter ( Yorubas have never done coup and are not capable of doing any coup)
Even if the coup is not crushed by a coalition of Niger Delta and Igbos who are Loyal to Jonathan , the Mantle of power will Natural rest in the COAS who is an Igbo man to the core. This option leaves the North in a very dire situation Knowing fully well what an Igbo HOS portends for them. If on the other hand a much Junior Officer is brought in to the Head the Nation , the saem crises of confidence that arose when a much Junior Gowon was broght to head Ojukwu and Ogundipe and co will arise .
if this happens another possibility of Niger Delta and Igbo soldiers mutiny might not be ruled out and knowing fully well the harm militants have done to the economy , there wont be any limit to the wreck the Niger delta and Igbo soldiers and militants can do the country if they are pushed to the wall

Your analysis is funny and too simplistic, if there's any coup no one can predict what will happen.

moodswing: Why is everyone going senile?

First OBJ, Then Wole SOyinka and now Abdulsalami.





GEJ should rehabilitate our mental institutions.

You're right because people like you should have been in one of those mental institutions.

babyosisi: Who is this perv of the southern Kingdom
Why must there be a Judas in the gathering of the Saints
Is his legal father from sokoto caliphate or Bauchi?
An Ayo siding with a sea of Mohammeds
Amadioha plus shango majie kwa ya olu

That Ayo must be a bast4rd, I'm surprised to see a Yoruba name!

thoth: i wonder that myself. women are more beautiful these days from what we have back in the days and i don't understand how guys can totally ignore that and go for a fellow man.

It must be a mental disorder, how can a man ever find another attractive sexually if not as a result of mental health problems.

deleteme: Now this old foolish man called Soyinka will still compare himself with the great ACHEBE? now even some little girls insults him.....what a fool.

Anything Soyinka ret5rds like you must drag Achebe into it, great ko low life ni.

percipi1: I am not surprised at your outrageous remark. It only confirms Thomas Huxley’s theory that some humans definitely evolved from apes. What shocked me, though, was the fact that 200 people actually liked your comment. Now that is a big concern for me

Do not be shocked by those who liked his myopic posts, they are the representation of what is wrong with the present day Nigeria. At least when they grow old they'll tell their children stories of how they contribute to ruining the country just because of sentiments.

lee007: Now very confirmed that Nigeria will definitely perish as a country if care is not taken quickly, am so ashamed of identifying with Nigeria these days and with very good reason.
I am so appalled at the way a lot of seemingly educated people especially Nigeria young women are insulting Soyinka for speaking the truth as he has always done consistently over the years even before some of these so called online nairaland analysts parents were born!
What has this woman done for Nigerian women sef? What? Has she done 1/100 of what Miriam Babangida did through her better life? Patience is a disgrace to womanhood in Nigeria, a mere okirika rogue lucky enough to marry a clueless, spineless man! Don’t even get me started! Nigeria is a joke!

I honetly hope most Nigerian girls/women are not like these onces commenting and supporting Dame Jonathan? cus if they are, then it is finished!!! no wonder they no dey quick get husband, what a way to use the brain!!!

Soyinka said Patience is a mere appendage of power and so damn right, not only is that a statement of fact but a statement very correct in law, the illegality and unconstitutionality during these Goodluck’s era is just to legendary and sadly most of us don’t even know the implication.

Insecurity is on the rise, poverty is strong as usual, unemployment is the order of the day and power is getting geometrically regressive and still we sit behind the lantern hoping phones and laptops won’t expire and we can still claim the president and his wife are doing well, someone is kidding right.

And where did Abacha’s daughter crawl out from, only in Nigeria will the daughter of such an evil institution even have the got to talk to any Nigerian not even Soyinka!
Like we say in Yoruba land, alainironu lopoju ni nairaland, bunch of empty skulls suffering and smiling!

Unfortunately, with the set of youths we currently have in Nigeria the country is doomed. Only ingrates, shallow minded and some 'never do well' will even associate themselves with anything Abacha. As wicked and power drunk he was it will not be too much to treat many of his generation as lepers for his wicked deeds.
There are some set of youths from particular regions of the country who because of their bitterness ostensibly passed on to them by their parents will do whatever it takes including selling their soul and conscience to support the current govt as they believe the president is one of their own. They forget an adage which says that: if you're digging a pit for your enemy don't dig it too deep as either you or your family member may fell into it. Let's leave the rest for posterity to judge.

WildChild00: It is the Nigerian pigeon language (outsiders) for refering to people not in same group/household/place of origin.

That's not the kind of words that should come out of a first lady of federal Republic of Nigeria. She could say that in private but definitely not in public, honestly those who truly love this woman should advise her to shut up.

This woman will destroy the little that is left of her husband dignity, probably the worst mistake Jona ever made is to marry this hippo.

Who are outsiders? and she's even stup1d enough to call Nigerians outsiders just because they are not ijaws

dayokanu: Why was Soyinka frolicking with Ojuku in 1967, Why was he frolicking with MEND in 2009, WHy was he frolicking with Jonathan when under Turai in 2010?

Soyinka always stood for injustice and he sees Amaechi as a victim of injustice of retardeen Jonathan right now and he did what he has always done

Sometimes I wonder if these bigots are created to be dull by default, Jonathan presidency has done nothing significant for them yet they are quite happy for him to share their commonwealth with his friends as long as he's one of their own.

Dame of shame

Acidosis: What is wrong in NOT wearing trousers. Lets start from there..

There is nothing wrong in wearing trousers and there's nothing wrong if you choose not to, it's a matter of choice. for instance there is nothing wrong in eating meat and there's nothing wrong if you choose to be a vegetarian as long as it's not by compulsion.

mekaboy: In a series of declamations, Mr. Bakare asserted, “When the shoeless takes over, he does clueless things. When such men of low estate find themselves in power, terrible things begin to happen.” He added, “It is the timidity of the inferior that prods them to cover up. Deep rivers flow in majestic silence.”

Kai! Words on the marble. Omo a jobe ri ma n japo sa ya, omo oju o rola ri lo n so omo e ni Olaniyonu

What is wrong with wearing trousers?

Mouth odour does not have to do with mouth hygiene alone, I discussed my experience on the thread below:
