Oga prof, with due respect sir, you are an authority in your field. Medicine is not your field of study. The situation at hand is not about who is being paid for whatever reason. It is also not about trading of words. It is about the safest approach to save lives. Sir, in this case, a 400 level medical student is of more relevance than you. I'm sure you know it. So, oga prof, leave matter where e dey. If you have any contributions, don't hesitate, but if non, pls shut the fvck up.

"Now is not the time to talk about legality" Can you believe this bullshit? One day a democratically elected president will lock down your state for some reasons known to him and then tell you this is not the time to talk about legality.
There's a reason why countries have laws and if we not ready to abide by the laws what is the point of having them?

Let the lawyers argue that one out.

The President definitely has some legal backings.

As for me if shutting down the country will prevent 100,000 Nigerians from contracting corona, so be it.

Wole Soyinka is the only Nobel Prize winner in the entire history of Nigeria..

Stop disgracing yourself by calling him a fiction writer!!

It is Nonsense to abuse someone that is seeking clarifications..

He didn't ask that Nonentity called Garba any question, he was directing the question to the President ... and not his PA or Aide!!!

That Aide should watch his disrespectful mouth!!!

He can't talk to his Father like that!!!!

Who hin Nobel award help. We are talking of life and death here and FICTION WRITER is saying jargon. Same way he was yaning rubbish about Amotekun without offering any solution until Tinubu spoke and offered solution and Amotekun case became an history through constitutional backing. The prof thought because he is prof and anything he say should carry weight. That was how he disgraced himself by sitting on an innocent boy seat inside an aeroplane. It's not about speaking grammar, criticise and suggest solutions, the government might even pick from your solutions. Why didn't he attack other state governors that lockdown their state without the approval of their state house of assembly? Oh because is Bubu. He can fool people like you but not me.

You don't have to be a lawyer to ask that question. The same question is being asked in the US right now whether the president can unilaterally shut down states or not, apparently he doesn't have such powers except in a war situation.
These are the type of questions journalists are asking in order to inform the people.
The notion that this is an attack on president Buhari and then prompting Shehu Garba to respond in such a crass manner says a lot.

He did not talk about medicine AT ALL.
He questioned whether the powers are legal and whether they should be exercised from Abuja or LOCALLY. He is right to ASK that is his RIGHT as a citizen. Today we saw soldiers shoot dead a young man killed in Warri and we know as they often tell us NOTHING WILL HAPPEN

That is how democracy works. Citizens question the government
It is not a Master servant relationship. Citizens should ask questions

Crucially he did not talk as an expert but a citizen, He asked as a citizen and the government's job is to come out and REASSURE him and the rest of us that they Believe they are acting lawfully.
The attorney general did as as did the vice president That should have been the end of it
The stance of Garba Shehu is unnecessary, petty and bizarre it belittles and ridicules the president not Soyinka.
He is paid from taxpayers money and I question how he has added value with his words

. We heard the rumpus around Amotekun. The governors went back and made laws to back it up.

The quarantine Act was enacted in 1926 by the British Colonial authority still in the UK very quickly they enacted a coronavirus law THROUGH PARLIAMENT.
EVEN there people are allowed to go out
To buy food
For exercise
There are no soldiers on the street in London.
People were not given 24 hours notice and the Prime Minister addressed the Nation daily till he got infected.
They do not have a police force that extorts citizens

The government's interpretation of the act is loose and unclear.
Essentially Wole Soyinka's fear is well founded ,ie that the president continues to grab powers enabling him to bypass the National Assembly and the courts incrementally

From the medical perspective there is no basis for the 2 week period chosen by Buhari . What happens after 2 weeks if we have 1000 cases.?

Anyway the ploy of talking about medicine won't work.

Wole Soyinka questioned the power of the president to take that action. It is indeed noteworthy that he has not seriously engaged the National Assembly on this issue.
Let us consider the lives of the average Lagosian living in various face me I face you compounds?

Do they have clean water and sanitation.
How many persons use one toilet
How many sleep in a room?
Normally everyone goes out to hustle
Now EVERYONE is supposed to sit at home
Consider the crowding,the Impact on toilets and risk of Other diseases
Where do pregnant women go for care OR delivery?


The truth is that when you treat people like animals thet act as such.

Such measures require exhaustive detail to avoid confusion ESPECIALLY with our level of corr6

In the UK people are generally policing themselves. They stay at home and only go out to shop or jog on the streets. That is because government puts in place measures to reduce distress

This is not about medicine but rule of law,due process and democracy

Wole Soyinka has been consistent all his life and went to prison for his beliefs and perceived support for Ojukwu. He is entitled to speak his mind

Countries are not run like your village council. Each level of government have their own clearly defined roles and powers. It is perfectly legitimate to ask questions if it appears one level of government is acting outside of what is constitutionally allowed.

Why didn’t u query the state governors for using so called presidential powers as was implied and ask them which laws give them such powers? I didn’t see anyone question any governor?

It is a democracy, you have the right to question your leaders.

Prof should go and sit down joor. This pandemic has already taken a toll on people, this is not the time for this drama. Allow those who are trained in the medical field to do their job while we are praying and hoping for an end t this pandemic

For many of you this is not about Corona virus. The Nobel prize cannot be taken from him and given to a certain Biafran writer who was the propaganda minister in the defunct Republic of Biafra.

Please channel your aggression elsewhere, I am not and Ipob Member or a Biafran apologist.
Secondly, you should answer for yourself if this is the time for squabbles? When concerted efforts are needed to work towards eradicating this pandemic. Next time please comprehend before responding

I think it was the state borders closure by individual governors. That’s what led to this.

You are just being ignorant. Soyinka is a citizen, it is within his rights to ask questions about what is going on in his country what then is your problem with that.
Have you ever seen daily briefings by president Trump and the barrage of questions he has to answer? That is how Democracy works not to mention the fact that the Nigerian president doesn't talk to journalists, they only issue press statements.

Soyinka is a fool

Thunder fire the OP that barned me since last year,make covik 1-9 locate am

The question then is who has the power to close state borders and under what circumstances, right? Isn't that what Soyinka was saying?

The carry cane com for 5% .. na dem still they collect..

Wasn’t Uhuru as they thought.. See Prof wailing..

Mesef still believe am small..

Walahi 2023 go make little sense.

You guyz should go get a reasonable life and leave the low lives you are living..
What's wrong with what he's said?



Everything seems to be wailing.. Lil punks!

There is no need for hot exchange of words. The Prof. should not have replied Garba Shehu.

But wait a minute. This is a good and classical comic relief.

The fact is Nigeria has been under military rule for decades and many have a mindset of unquestioning obedience.

Nigeria is a country of 200 million
This sort of thing has to be LOCAL not from Abuja

At any rate there is no scientific basis for saying a city of 20 million people should not leave their homes FOR TWO WEEKS
That has NOT HAPPENED ANYWHERE



What kinds of home do the majority of people in Lagos have?
What is the ratio of people to rooms,toilets?
How many have running water?

Do our security personnel have the right orientation, training or equipment?

Even worse is the risk that routine immunisation for young children is not being planned for creating potential for more problems down the road

Nigerian Journalists that mostly dish out fake news and propaganda. Even Trump has disdain for Journalists, maybe you don’t see how he addresses them, cuts them while they are asking questions, and ridiculing them. Always calling out CNN

You completely nailed it. I don't understand why we don't look at things rationally rather than thinking every question or every criticism is an attack.
