Niger Delta Avengers Chooses Wole Soyinka As Representative In Proposed Dialogue by DONSMITH123(m): 2:15pm On Aug 23, 2016
Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has been chosen by militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, as one of members of it dialogue group in the proposed dialogue with the federal government.

Spokesman for the Dialogue Group, Mr. Ballantyne Agiri, made this known to the New Telegraph on Tuesday.

He hinted that the militants had set up dialogue group to engage the Federal Government in meaningful dialogue as part of the initiatives to end the crisis rocking the Niger Delta region.

He said the Nobel Laureate was chosen because of the track records as a freedom fighter as well as a credible and detribalised personality.

Agiri said the leadership of the militant group has for months been looking for credible persons who are capable of standing for them and present their grievances before the federal government.

He said, “I was on my own when they invited me to work for them.

“But I told them that one person cannot hold dialogue with the government, that we should look for eminent Nigerians who have the pedigree to do a good job.

“The moment I mentioned Professor Wole Soyinka, they became interested because, according to them, he is somebody who is not from the Niger Delta, but has a credible and detribalised personality.”

Of course, Prof is one of the most credible men we have.

Obasanjo is the most qualified in term of detriabilsation but he is selfish and not a freedom fighter.

Onix01:
Can an intellect of his capacity descend so low to support an uncoordinated struggle of some youths in that region. Such decision in nominating Prof Soyinka will be rejected as they don't share the same ideology of destroying public infrastructure.

Soyinka was also the lead negotiator for the Niger Delta agitators that midwifed the amnesty program under yaradua/GEJ.

Being anti establishment since his student days, rebels have always being attracted to him because they believe as a rebel himself, he understands their cause, grievances and motivations

There's a difference between angry itinerant traders and enlightened diplomats cheesy

Niger Deltans know whom to trust on issues like this. Soyinka handled the earlier one in 2009 and he delivered. They trust him to do so too this time cheesy

Won't they allow this Soyinka to rest and enjoy his retirement for goodness sake? The man should be chilling somewhere in the Bahamas, not mucking about with violent delta militants.

I thought they would never concede to peaceful dialogue, now they've contributed their quota to destroying the economy, they want amnesty. undecided

What's the use of going to school to get an education when militants are treated like war heroes and celebrated? Seriously, becoming a militant is turning to a profitable venture these days undecided

He has started crying again. His attache by force didn't work and he has started weeping. After slaving for GEJ and being the online noise makers for ND militants, those ones because they have sense know whom to entrust the negotiations of their destiny to. The shameless braggart has started weeping as usual cheesy

Who is stopping you from getting your biabia? you have nothing with Nigeria, yet you want to die on top PDP. Is PDP a biafran party? cheesy
