emamos:Shoyinka is losing his usefulness to age. I am not a GEJ apologist but I see Prof committing the same offence he accused GEJ. Confraternity is not evil is the same as saying that stealing is not corruption. I was in the University for years in Nigeria and USA but did not belong to any confraternity. We know that Pirates confraterity set the the standard of killings going on in the Nigeria. When the graduate and find no jobs, they reorganize outside and take to crime. Prof should apologize to Nigerians and not rationalize on this issue. 1 Like |

It is stupid cry if you know the stealing those people committed and ypu can not petition EFCC. I know PDP sent petition in the case of Amaechi but no one in the case of OOBJ and Tinubu. Even when Tinubu was drowning PDP, they were just tarnishing the man's image: no petition or prosecution since he was invited by EFCC during Yar Adua regime. Please if you don't have any petition on hand, leave Tinubu alone. |

Re: Buhari Now Different From The Man I Knew.....soyinka by Nobody: 10:42pm On Aug 12, 2015 |
You see, it all becomes clear when you use first order logics. Consider the two objects "stealing" and "corruption". You will have to conclude that: not (stealing = corruption). Although if you consider "stealing" and "corruption" like two sets of committed or to be committed offenses, then some would have the opinion that stealing is included in corruption: Stealing < Corruption. |

anelta:when a guy contradicts himself and sells you words like "born again", you know he is a 419. Soyinka said in 2011 that buhari was a very bad dictator and that buhari was just as bad as sani abacha. Soyinka gave buhari all sorts of names. And now the same soyinka has found a formula to say the opposit of what he had been saying: "born again". Where you know soyinka is a crook is the fact that soyinka himself isn't even christian (yet the expression "born again" is entirely christian), he is selling you something he doesn't believe in. But he knows what he is doing. he is playing with the minds of the southern or christian gullible 1 Like |

The truth is that Soyinka like many , did not know Buhari at all. He only believed in rumors and cheap character assassination stories filling those Nigerian media aggressively hostile to Buhari all those years. He (Soyinka), like multitude of others, is knowing Buhari for the first time - in recent months. |
