[/b]"He also lent his voice to the recent call for Nigeria to be restructured, saying the nation is “long overdue for reconfiguring”.
Soyinka said the proponents of restructuring should not be put off by those saying it is the mind of Nigerians that need to be restructured not the nation itself"[b] Prof.have seriously gassed out now.Sarrki is he now an "enemy of the state"?

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka believes Nigerians felt more secure during the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan than under President Muhammadu Buhari.

He says the low sense of security Nigerians feel is the major reason behind the clamour for state and community policing.

Soyinka said this on Monday in Lagos after a press briefing to unveil the second batch of students travelling to Lebanon for studies.

The programme is organised by The Cedars Institute, Lebanon, in collaboration with The Wole Soyinka Foundation.

Soyinka also said there are “yawning gaps” in the current administration, adding that the past few years have been that of “economic disaster” for the average Nigerian.

“Take simple security for instance. The average citizen feels less secure now than he did a few years ago; that is evident. When people talk about state police, there are reasons for it,” he said.

“When they talk about bringing policing right down to the community level, they know what they are talking about. This is also part and parcel of reconstruction or reconfiguration.

“The economy, there is a big question about it right now. Fortunately, everybody admits that we went through a very bad patch. Right now, it is a question of have we come out of it or not or there is no question at all.

“The past few years have been years of real internal economic disaster for the average citizen.’’

Soyinka, however, said there was a question of who was responsible for the sufferings the nation was plunged into in the last two years.

When asked about the current debate for a second term for Buhari, the Nobel laureate wondered why the issue is being talked about.

“Why are we talking about second term for heaven’s sake?” he asked, adding, “I don’t understand this. I refuse to be part of that discussion. I absolutely refuse to be part of the discussion”

He also lent his voice to the recent call for Nigeria to be restructured, saying the nation is “long overdue for reconfiguring”.

Soyinka said the proponents of restructuring should not be put off by those saying it is the mind of Nigerians that need to be restructured not the nation itself.

He said: “I find it very dishonest and cheap time-serving, trivialising the issue when I hear expressions like ‘it is the mind that needs to be restructured.’ Who is arguing or denying that? Why bring it up? Why is it a substitute?

“We are talking about the protocols of association of the constitutive parts of a nation. We are talking of decentralisation. That is another word. This country is over-centralised.

“Are you saying we cannot reconstruct the mind and reconstruct the nation at the same time? Call it by whatever name. We are saying that this nation is long overdue for reconfiguring. That is the expression I choose to use now https://www.thecable.ng/nigerians-feel-less-secure-now-jonathans-administration-says-soyinka

You're rather not an epitome of what the senate president of a country should be.The controversial "budget padding"scandal that happened during your reign in the NASS.

Mostly orchestrated by the bigot president's divisive mindset.Divide Nigeria! Let each region handle it security challenges.Let fulani remain in their domain.

A despotic illiterate bigot as president.Nigeria have never had it this bad but rightly deserves what it's bargained for as a fella mentioned above.Nigeria-free yourself from mental slavery.

madridsta007:
Obsessed with GEJ.
Not with fixing the battered economy.
Not with improving security.
Not with dealing with the terroristic menace of Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen.
Not with ensuring Nigerians start to eat at least twice a day.
Not with ensuring students go back to school and resident doctors go back to the hospital.
Not with stopping the brain drain of professionals leaving Nigeria in droves.
Not with fulfilling any of their electoral promises....

I can go on and on.

What did Nigerians do to deserve these filthy reprobates, in the garb of politicians?

Chronic educated illiterates and zombies everywhere are his major backers.Imagine Prof.Wole Soyinka,Pat Utomi,Tam David-West,Sagay among many others.

Caseless:
give buhari 6 years like you gave Jonathan, then we'd know if he's clueless as Jonathan.

He does not need it man.He have been gunning for the seat for 12 woeful fucking years with no blueprint on how he'll better the lot of this country.Any surprise he never developed himself educationally beyond the coup-plotting he learnt while in the Army? Are you not worried he lead Nigeria into recession in 1984 and then now again

Caseless:
He's always clueless.

And what about Buhari now?-Super clueless and daft.

Anything other than GEJ this or that Why struggle to write a book despite the myriads of APC's self-inflicted problems on ground which they have no iota of clue on how to solve them? GEJ though I have certain reservations,still remains the best president Nigeria ever had.Our enemies will continue to have obsessive-compulsive disorder like the APC.

[/b]"The APC government has budgeted over N14tr in the last two years. Bolaji should tell Nigerians what the government has done with the money. Nigerians will not know the level of corruption in Bolaji’s APC government till another government takes over..................... These lies only go to show that you can use propaganda to get to power, but you cannot use propaganda to stay in power"[b] What a technical knock out by GEJ and his handlers.This stale tale of the deceptive APC still refusing to fly hence they continue to look dull,foolish,and stupid.The world will shudder in horror when APC's atrocities will be unearthed @ the end of time.

Thank God the zombie crew knows and equally acknowledge same.So wait for the masses to place the colossal failure to the dustbin of history where he rightly belongs.

May the confusion continue to reign supremely until they all expose themselves to reveal all the hidden secrets that have been preventing the progress of this nation.Evil cabal.

And where are the APC voodoo economists and zombies who are masturbating that Nigeria is out of recession?

Why does the good Lord delay in punishing these wicked men and women involved in this henious crime against humanity bikonu

The do-or-die Anambra politics have started again.Since anything APC is now associated with catastrophic failure,woe betide any state or region that decided to embrace this evil.

[/b]If by this time, they claimed to have captured Sambisa forest, from which other forest will they say they have brought these girls,” Abdulsalami said"[b] Deeply thought provoking insight there. [/b]"The APC should step aside and let a responsible government take over the administration of Nigeria. You can’t talk of the government without bringing in APC. Buhari came on the platform of change, using deceit in all its programmes"[b] Zombies what say ya?

Lalasticlala and seun this could be a good money making venture

And to my fellow indefatigable wailers as they call us, let's come and show them zombies pepper

Just waiting on the wings here man.

Ghen,ghen.The selling point of 2019 is here.Renewed versions of this enigma flying here and there.We're getting closer to detailed confession time about the infamous "Chibok kidnap"saga.All those involved have a day with karma.Get ready.

..

"Fight what" Though Atiku was corrupt Nigeria might have fared better under him being highly enterprising unlike Buhari that never developed himself or established humanitarian ventures.That said, divide or disintegrate this country.

Thank you so much.Udo diri gi nwannem.

So what was it Mr.cunning fox? It's obvious BH preceded GEJ but same time obvious to the political conscious Nigerian that it was manipulated to frustrate and remove him.Buhari said "an attack on BH is an attack against the north" or OBJ didn't hear that? The "Chibok scam/kidnap" was the grand crowing of that onslaught.Thought Jummai Alhassan is threatening to spill El'Rufai role in that saga? So what the hell is she waiting for? Karma will continue to hunt them all.

NgeneUkwenu:
Ipopb Miscreants above , Learn to read through!

First or imaginary second tenure,Buhari is a curse and colossal failure that Nigeria never deserves.That is the new reality that just hit the mumu prof.

I dont think this is true but if so,will the north now confidently say its"our"oil or will that now hasten the disintegration of this zoo country

Cyynthia:
I will say this loud and clear, ......the earlier some of my fellow Yoruba Christians and progressive Yorubas use this opportunity Ipob has created and throw their weights behind Adeyinka Grandson to agitate for Oduduwa and separate totally form these northern Muslims, the better for all of us.

If you think that our Muslim brothers will support us in agitating for Oduduwa, then you need to have a second thought because they can never do that since some of them even have more value for northern muslims more than their own Yoruba brothers.
In fact, they are those who are always on Biafran thread to oppose Biafra because, they believe that once Biafrans leave, the urge for we progressive Yorubas to seceed from Nigeria will increase thereby making them to loose northern muslims they see as gods.
Islamization agenda is very real. We Yoruba Christians will be the worst hit once Igbos leave Nigeria .As for them to leave,they will definitely leave one day.
As it stands now, Igbos are those stabilising and checking the excesses of Muslim dominance in Nigeria today since 99.9℅ of them are Christians. We are doomed the day they will leave Nigeria.
Take look at that map I attached below, those states in the North are controlled by Sharia law, then, remove SS,SE and some middle belt states from Nigeria, because I know that some of Ss states and some north central states that are Christian states will like to leave with Igbos when the time comes because they won't like to stay with those religious extremist. Then, after they must have gone, Christians will have less number in Nigeria, thereby making Islamization agenda obtainable and easier.

PROGRESSIVE YORUBAS WAKE UP !!!!, STOP SITTING ON THE FENCE.JOIN ADEYINKA GRANDSON FOR ODUDUWA ACTUALIZATION NOW !!

Lalasticlala, move this to the front page immediately.

Big up dearie.

[/b]" Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in one of his videos in 2012 that the war they were prosecuting was not political but religious. It said: “It is between Muslims and unbelievers (arna). It will stop when Islamic religion is the determinant in governance in Nigeria or, in the alternative, when all fighters are annihilated and no one is left to continue the fight. “I warn all Muslims at this juncture that any Muslim who assists an unbeliever in this war should consider himself an unbeliever and should consider himself dead.”[b] Guess trend of events is still not clear for Christians esp.those in the northern region Hausa-Fulani just violating the sovereignty of this damned country at will yet none have been prosecuted,convicted or punished About 20 people including children were brutally killed in Jos recently.No word from the government.After all they once told us the killers are Malian/Lybians that're invisible to the Nigerian security forces. There is a grand but subtle plan to islamize Nigeria.Lets divide this country fast.

Jesu! Kile eleyi nitori Olorun Meanwhile hope this is not another media frenzy discovery? This is because despite the last similar high profile discovery,Nigeria have heard nothing thereafter."Bill of Laden" Hope It's not from the infamous Osama Weldone Customs.

Ole ji,Ole gba.The way APC talks about corruption may make a naive fella to think Nigeria's main problem is corruption.Government should show attitudinal change in governance.Meanwhile Bubu's body odour is now a thing of the past.

sarrki:
Nigeria is not Lucky of leaders

We need change of command bottom up

In 2019

That is all you have to say? Your hypocrisy continues to ooze stench.

Yet as a stooge governor of "sai baba" the prowling anti-corruption watchdogs of this evil regime will never sniff let alone arrest him.Anyway Buhari have continued to do even worst.Recall the debt incurred on Nigeria from parking the idle presidental jet alone for months in a London airport? So much moral burden for the government of change Sai baba zombies what say unu?

Nice amazing transformation of the city.Guess 1st.pix-Presco junction,2nd-? "Sperendo" flyover.Ndi Ai metum aka bikonu
