theV0ice: Jonathan was mediocre at best. He was a weak and indecisive leader. So much so that he can hardly get credit for the few good things he accomplished. It was easy for any person given to uncompromising standards to not like Jonathan. But then elections are about choices. And given not much of a choice between Jonathan and Buhari anyone with the love of civil liberties would have held their nose and supported Jonathan. There is a Yoruba saying that even when we are crying we must still be seeing. I could understand the generation that came of age after Hausa-Fulani military rule not having experienced the complete subjugation of other Nigerians to second class citizenship. But Soyinka's generation witnessed the conquest and effects first hand. Obasanjo's greatest achievement as president was the neutralization of some of the institutionalized 'privileges' the military had built for the Hausa-Fulani oligarchs. This first grabbed my attention when during his regime when at a Nigerian Embassy I over heard a conversation between two northerners complaining bitterly how the unimaginable is happening at the villa as Yoruba language is being spoken in the corridors of power at Aso Rock Villa. Hither to Hausa had become the semi official language of the military and of government. By insisting on merit on many things Obasanjo began a roll back than at the end of his tenure he was the most hated Nigeria by the Hausa-Fulanis. On a last note for those who say 'if they don't perform we will vote them out in 2019 just as we did Jonathan' you are on a long road. Obasanjo who was brought in by the north because theytrusted him having been at their beck and call as military head of state became their biggest regret the second time around. The more time removed them from direct power at the center the more desperate they got. Jonathan became a nightmare for them. They imagined as an Ijaw man he could announce one day that Nigeria was dissolved. Now that they are back in charge they will never give that power away again. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Legitdeals: I will reply you with a quote from jerseyboy above. There is a Yoruba saying that even when we are crying we must still be seeing. The fact that some of us campaigned and voted this government should not make us give the government a blank cheque of support. What we will not do is destructive criticism, not everyone criticizing this government on this herdsmen problem is a hater, most are genuinely concerned. 3 Likes |

jerseyboy: You didn't answer my question which was "expatiate on why you think Soyinka hated GEJ"? If you could tell why you think that, it would make it easier to put your post which contains a lot of truth in proper perspective. However would it have been better if Aso rock continued to have Yoruba as lingual franca? Is it more appropriate to have ijaw as the official language? When will it be the turn of berom? Why didn't we even vote Prof Pat Utomi in 2011 instead of mediocre(to use your words) GEJ? Soyinka condemned OBJ in his book " You must set forth at dawn" published when OBJ was still President and he described him as devious. He condemned buhari in that same book. He fought for GEJ to be made acting President when most of those in PDP were wining and dining with Turai. The bottom line is that the old man has a right to change his stance and if you read him all through that period, you'd have heard him say how difficult it was to even look favourably in buhari's direction. I, like Soyinka, believe we would have been in a worse situation politically, economically and security wise if GEJ had continued. Its a choice Soyinka was perfectly entitled to make. How would you ensure an Hausa Fulani never get to aso rock again in a democracy with universal adult suffrage? 4 Likes 1 Share |
