Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has disclosed his intention to feature former President Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo prominently in his new book, ‘The Republic of Liars’

Soyinka who stated this while responding to questions at an event tagged: “An evening with Wole Soyinka” in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, on Friday, described Obasanjo as a shameless liar whom he has no respect for.


The event organised by the telecommunication giant, Globacom is geared towards celebrating Soyinka literary feat and the launch of Glo Literary Prize for Undergraduate Students.

Soyinka said even though he appreciated the fact that Obasanjo as an individual is entitled to his opinion about him, he is nonetheless bothered because “nobody has respect for liar”.

Soyinka while responding to a question asking him to respond to the view represented of him by Obasanjo in his memoir, “My Watch” also borrowed the language of Oyetunde Aboyade who described Obasanjo as an “Economic Illiterate”.

“Obasanjo is entitled to his opinion like everybody. But the question is: who respects the opinion of a liar? And I can prove he is a shameless liar. Like an economist once told him to his face. I mean Oyetunde Aboyade who told Obasanjo to his face that he is an economic illiterate.
“So if an economic illiterate call me political illiterate, no problem. Even in the book, he told the first lie when said he deployed liars. Anybody like Obasanjo saying he never plotted third term in office, who even as a writer, I know the word to call that.

“I have been talking to my publisher lately on a new work. It is titled tentatively: ‘The Republic of Liars’ and Obasanjo featured in it prominently. This is the last I would say about it,” Soyinka said.

Chad executed 10 alleged members of Nigeria-based Islamist group, Boko Haram, by firing squad on Saturday, a day after they were found guilty of a double suicide killing that left 38 people dead in the capital N'Djamena.


"They were executed this morning on a shooting ground north of N'Djamena," a judicial source told AFP. The report was confirmed by a security source who asked not to be identified.

The 10 were condemned to death on Friday in the country's first trial of presumed members of the Islamist group. The hearings opened on Wednesday.

Nigeria's neighbours Chad, Cameroon and Niger have all suffered attacks by Boko Haram and earlier this year they announced a regional force to end the militants' insurgency that has claimed more than 15 000 lives since 2009.

The defendants were accused of criminal conspiracy, killings, wilful destruction with explosives, fraud, illegal possessions of arms and ammunition, as well as using psychotropic substances.

The accused include Nigerian national Mahamat Mustapha, also known as Bana Fanaye, who according to Chadian authorities masterminded the June 15 suicide attacks that struck a school and a police building in N'Djamena, killing 38 people and injuring 101.

On July 12, a fresh attack in the Chadian capital claimed by Boko Haram left at least 15 dead and 80 hurt after an assailant dressed as a woman blew himself up in the central marketplace.

Shortly after Fanaye's arrest in late June, Chad's top prosecutor Alghassim Kassim said the suspect was the "ringleader of a network smuggling weapons and munitions between Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad".

Chad has beefed up security in response to the bloodshed.

The regional force against Boko Haram is expected to number about 8 700 troops and police, but it has yet to go into action.

the man, Daniel employes people both engineers and non engineers, keeps them for some months without pay, during which the employees realize he has never paid salary and all the said projects are imaginary. They leave voluntarily to look for greener pastures. And the circle continues.
A lot of lawsuits on salary and other stuffs.
Check the name on the internet

In nairaland, men are saints, and should be fought and died for. Women are just the object of their angry banters.

BF - NO
Husband - Yes
Though it also depends on the crime committed. Murder? Rot in there! Unless on self defence sha

This might be a joke but their recent news really sounds like this to a sane mind.
#justsaying#

They can't stop calling Jonathan because they have just realized that the seat is action-oriented, and they are mouth-oriented.

Lack of what to do, thus they resort to the blame game.

kayo80:
What anger can make man do...It is obvious the man attacked his friend in a fit of rage, that is why he surrendered himself to the authorities. I also have anger management issues...and two things help me calm down, SEX, and Stout. If not for this two things, I don't know how many heads I would have broken.

Solving one problem with two other problems?! Please try solving the anger issue, not creating more.

Ask Oby Ezekwesili.
Now that it's rumored that she will get a ministerial post, the so-called kidnapped girls has been forgotten. Guess it's mission accomplished?
Clowns!
