slightlyMad:
some are born into a system that made it difficult for them to understand how democratic governance works.

it is just like on your street, you appoint a CDA chairman and all the chairman does is mobilize the youths in the area to deal with you
while paying the youth from the money each house contributed for development

not only that, the CDA chairman lives on your money, sends his kids to the best school, and travels abroad for medical checkups off all your money
and when the money is getting low, he says every house must pay more even if it means you have to withdraw your child from school (austerity)
meanwhile, he is not ready to reduce his own spending.

that is how Nigeria currently runs.
I can correctly predict without being a TBJ that the end of GEJ's reign of squander and terror will end soon
with him paying either the ultimate price or getting a lengthy jail term
What you just describe is Stockholm Syndrome where people idolize their oppressors . Most of this brainstems yearning for GEJ to win are the poorest souls in the country. They are supportive of him because of his ethnicity. This are the same guys living on less than $5 a day and worshipping the same looters who have bastardized their lives. The future of Nigeria is very grave with the present leadership and the youths. God help Nigeria and Nigerians.

biko nu, can some one tell this old thing that in as much as we honor his story telling skills, ( which is about all he has to offer) we are not unaware of his inhuman and corrupt nature.
This dude created the secret cult system destroying Nigerian youths today and reducing our tertiary institutions to glorified secondary schools. till date his National Association of Seadogs aka Pirates Confraternity is still involved in political thuggery, violence of all shades and sizes in and out of the campuses. some of our governors are his cult boys, yet he has mouth to call GEJ a tyrant without substantiated evidence.
This old thing cant even live with a woman, a family disaster, no wonder he is praying the same evil for GEJ.
THis dude is an acclaimed pagan, so why is he referencing the Holy Bible , pls prof the Bible is Holy and not a tool you can pick up any day you like use upside down when you like and abandon when you see your rottenness exposed by it. His statement shows he knows nothing in the Bible, else he will know that he is the one to likened to Nebuchadnezzar given his idol worship and his terrorism in the tertiary institutions. oga pls stop blaspheming the Bible

You are a stewpid thing. How dare you call Kongi 'this old thing'?

And who told you that cultism(as we have it today) was caused by the Prof.

Go and educate yourself about the Pyrates Confraternity and its objectives and compare it to the cults of today. The Pyrates Confraternity was not even a secret cult. It was founded for promising students (and not for thugs) on the campus of UI.

Kongi/Wole Soyinka ought to know: 1, Nigeria Police got adequately informed that Tambuwal and his APC lawmakers had before jumping the fence authored a sinister and illegitimate process to impeach elected President Jonathan. 2, that Tambuwal and his APC goons had to be disallowed entry to the Parliament by police, because if they were allowed in and they started their sinister impeachment process, blood would have flowed and anarcy would descend upon Nigeria. 3, the Tambuwal/Buhari clan's unwritten agreement to hand over power to a SW Vice Presidential candidate after old Buhari has served a short stint is a mere trick to get the Soyinka clan help to hand over Nigeria to the Buhari clan, for the clan to retain apex political office for the next donkey years, because after Buhari's anticipated short term, the Buhari clan must insist and get eight years in office irrespective of what the constitutioon stipulates; and there is nothing the Soyinkas can do about it. After that, occupying Aso Rock shall be for the fittest. Prof Ango Abdullahi from Buhari clan said a shartwhile ago that his clan has the capacity to retain Nigeria's presidency for as long as the clan wants. The Buhari clan had led Nigeria for about 40 of Nigeria's 54 years of independence, rearranged the political structure and governing system of Nigeria and now use their consequent over-representation in the NASS to resist needed return to regional authonomy/true federalism, as well as bully rest of Nigeria. Buhari insisted that Boko is fighting a just cause.. Boko is ighting for sharia extreme laws which 12 northern states, including Buhari' Katsina state also dopted. No condemnation of adoption of sharia laws that cut hands of petty thieves and stoning death of women for adultery by the Buharis. 4, If Nigeria out of fear of insecurity concedes the country via elections to Buhari clan, the fiercer Jihad that must follow and the counter Jihad must make the present Boko Harm violence a child's play.

NOW after all these things...
He can't still BURY HIMSELF..
He can't FLY without airplanes..
He still relies on GEJ to pay him monthly salary.
He may not even make a good leader(since he now has MOUTH DIARRHEA).
He can't attach PRESIDENT to his name.
He can't touch the walls of ASO ROCK.
He can't call for FEC meeting.
He can't do anything without GEJ's approval..
He can't even stage a coup.
He can't visit OPEC.
He can't address d AU.
He can't enter AIRFORCE ONE.
He can't even organise NASU meetings not to talk of ASUU..
He can't lead national prayers, without GEJ's approval
His memory can be wiped out with d emergence of our smart graduates..
He can't even cough b4 GEJ...but GEJ can fart b4 him..
With all these , he can't differentiate a hippopotamus from a rhinoceros..
SO, WHO IS HE....?
I THINK HE IS JUST A COCKROACH in a cellophane bag..
With your denigration of the Nobel winning Prof., I hope it makes your life better. I don't know your state in life, I will be surprised if you can hold Prof. Soyinka jockstrap . Find a way to look for your path in life. Soyinka is well known positively worldwide while you are not even recognized in your own little hamlet.

I believe this is not the best way to refer to our president. Even in the darkest hours of military dictorship in Nigeria nobody referred to the leadership of the country then as king nebu. Calling the president names will not change things, rather it will belittle Nigeria in the polity of nations. Our problem can only be solved by us. God bless Nigeria
Where was it written that the President is beyond reproach?. The highest form of patriotism is to criticize your government . You have to be here to see the kind of names people call Obama . Nothing wrong in critisising a leadership that is turning the country upside down. The only thing the leadership is good for is monumental corruption and unimaginable mismanagement . Turning what is suppose to be a beautiful country with her all God given wealth to a perpetual third world where poverty is widespread and terrorism is the order of the day. I pray for massive revolution to cleanse the land of this maggots .

You were actually in the cave when Soyinka was fighting Abacha, ObJ and Turai.
ironically if the same Soyinka comes out to campaign for GEJ tomorrow, you will be worshiping him.

Every Nigerian must have freedom.

Off your eyes from the SS, SE and parts of the Middlebelt kingdoms. A fool at 40 is a fool for ever. How come your masters that restrict freedom shall continue to fool you till thy kingdom come?

His name is Wole Soyinka, not Archangel Michael. I'm sure you will like to see him in a cape like the superman flying to all the trouble spots in Nigeria. But, he is only a man. He is doing what he can, what have you done? What is Jonathan doing? What are the people you elected to lead you doing?
[color=#006600]

You are just a replica of your mentor Prof Wole Soyinka both in words and character. Always exhibiting trait of prejudice. Everybody knows that it takes two to tango. We equally know that actions and reactions are equall and opposite. Why does the Prof inklined to looking at one side of a story and closing his eyes to others? If those allegations he made against the president are true( but I doubt they are), did the opposition behave in any irrational and silly manner to warrant the actions? The question is left for you and the "born to criticise" saintly Nobel Laurett to sincerely answer.
