WildChild00:

Its easy to lead protest in your bedroom and compound

Soyinka and co went to Abuja to the seat of govt to stage the SNG protest which saved Retardeen Jonathan from the cabal

Hello, understand me, I am not saying they never fought, yes the did, but the truth of the matter is that it was a collective fight, by all well meaning Nigerians.

thegoodjoehunt:
Please which one did the militants fight then. I am a Niger Deltan but I can't deny the fact that Wole Soyinka fought for someone who wasn't frok his tribe or party.

This isn't about who is good or bad. Who is corrupt or incorrupt. It is about pushing our baby democracy in the right direction. Just as the protest for GEJ to be sworn in as President.

A coup against Gov. Amaechi through the impeachment of the Rivers State speaker of the house, using armed thugs and a fake mace is a slap to our democracy.

If Gov. Amaechi made wrong steps, we should follow a democratic process to correct it. So the President and his wife are wrong here. It is not if Jona is good or Amaechi is bad.

Likewise me too, I'm from the Niger Delta, at this point the militant were only interested in protecting the oil from their region, and perhaps marginalization of their region, by then FG.......... and they were fighting frm their own region tool, likewise u and I.... bros na be the one wen u see for television u go report?

dayokanu:

Where were these well meaning Nigerians fighting within Nigeria.

Which of these well meaning Nigerians at the time when the cabal was ruling could muster the courage to go to the seat of govt in Abuja to challenge them?

You think its the same thing going to Abuja and facing the Police vs staying in my compound organize my friends for Gyration and say its a protest against the cabal.

HERO111: Well, i think that no matter how intelligent, famous and well respected a man is, he might fail if he does not talk with reservation and maturity. i think wole has shown too much interest in this Rivers crisis issue which will leave many suspecting there is some thing they are yet to know about regarding the matter. Several political misunderstandings have being going on in different places across the nation at different times all the while( south east, south west, north and so on) but we didnt hear Wole's voice. But this ameachi issue is giving him sleepless night to a level that he has publicly insulted himself by harassing several highly placed people all in the name of defending the Govt .

Where was the human right fighter Wole when his brother OBJ loaded soldiers in trucks to go and level a whole community in odi, Zaki biam and so on? were those people chickens? different crisis rocking many parts of the country especially the north, where has wole been?

Let him channel his remaining few years of energy in teaching younger Nigerians better things that will help them see the world from a different perspective than just remembering him only when talking about opposition,activism, criticism,etc

That is how he was shouting govt did this govt did that, but when the then head of state IBB called him and gave him 2 billion Naira to run FRSC, a few months later he was asked to explain how the money was spent, and he became the most quiet man to the point of almost getting born again in Nigeria then. Nigerians forget the past so easily else they wont take some people serious in this country.

take dat: Short sighted, lazy and patronage-inclined self styled ethnic champions engaging in senseless ethnic-based and irrational arguments. So because both men are not from the ND, they must not interfere in ND affairs? So the Ijaws are now the mouthpiece for the entire region? The Ijaws most especially should shun forthwith, their agenda of promoting threat situations, and defending the indefensible whenever the presidency is criticized. No tribe has the monopoly of violence, nothing must happen to both men(WS and Falana)

fiscalcliff: Hmmn!
So Ijaw criminals or is it militants i.e. hired thugs are now the mouthpiece of a sitting President
When Soyinka was marching on the streets for Ebele's elevation to President after Yaradua's demise as was Falana demanding same,where were they
Now he is their 'son' who can do no wrong
Wole who was imprisoned for speaking out for the Igbo's during Biafra is now suddenly a noisemaker
Jonathan's ambition will ruin this nation
If he was performing, 1 would even understand why he's seeking to return
Truly Achebe was right because they truly was a country

Stiv:

Guy, both men should take heed. I'm yet to understand the business of the two Yoruba men in Rivers crisis. We are talking of Rivers State, not Ekiti State.

izzo22: Wetin consin Igbo inside dis talk nah...but d truth still remains, they should allow d people of d Nija delta resolve dre wahala

thegoodjoehunt:

We can't deny that the President and his wife lack understanding of the democracy that got a minority to become President. We were ruled by a man who passed away and everyone kept quiet. It was Wole and Co. that said, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH". It wasn't partisan or tribal. It was for pushing the country forward.

They got no presidential package or reward.

Now #TeamPEJ is trampling on democracy and trying to topple Gov. Amaechi. Using the police force to handle the Riverine crises issue by arresting and detaining Hon. Chidi Lloyd while those who committed atrocities against the house of assemboy get patted on the back for treason.

Wole Soyinka and co. are saying once again , "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" and criminals give these defenders/heroes of our democracy death threaths.

It is really disappointing from my Niger Delta brothers.

Let them enter their. The Ijaws I know too well does not take back their words, they will lynch them both if they dare to set foot in ND soil..

Useless yuruba people, I think you people should go and solve numerous problems bedeviling you backward tribe..

dad007: YOU GUYS ARE JUST PLAYING WITH FIRE

igbokwe sampson: I wonder why wole n femi are so much interested in Rivers crisis , Its possible they may kick against the peace discussion currently going on btw they two brothers GEJ n Amechi, are all these, for the LOVE of Amechi, Rivers or for the HATE of GEJ, Nigeria?

Bros eeey, you sure say na niger delta pikin u be? i doubt so, u sound different, but be that as it may be, u were so quick to pin point Wole and co as those who fought the battle, wat about other niger delta sons and daughters who were part of dem, like Briggs and Barrister Oilsa, are u saying they were not part of the struggle? Basically the fight was for the generosity of the well being of the country @ large and not for one group of persons to take the glory to it self of herself, you fought from abroad likewise me frm my own region, is that not so? Every one equally sign the enough is enough register. The question is wat presidential package where you expecting the FG to grant them?

Mrhod: When fed rep took over River legislation, y dint dey stop dem, Izon or Ijaw have finally become violent group, GEJ now use dis wide beast to treating opposition, with d amnesty dey are still treating life, dey should wake up & do d right tin, all dis work, 2015 is stil far.

McLuhan: I support the demonstration being planned by Soyinka, Falana and their colleagues. These are fearless pro-democracy activists who will protest against injustice anywhere. I really commend their courage. My only suggestion is that their activism should not be selective. The Boko Haram problem in Borno is no less an injustice than the crisis in Rivers State. So, immediately after the Port Harcourt rally, they should visit the Boko Haram camps in Maiduguri, Damaturu, and Potiskum for similar demonstrations. I know that Soyinka is totally against the heinous human rights abuses being perpetrated by the Boko Haram terrorists and I know he will surely storm their hideouts very soon to protest the killings.
