I blame GEJ, he's too gentle, he needs to give some of these noise makers the treatment Abacha and OBJ were good at. Where was this cultist when Abacha was alive, didn't he cowardly ran to exile, today he has found his voice after collecting brown envelope from Amaechi his illegitimate inlaw.
Writing novels for primary school pupils doesn't give Soyinka the power to be insulting the president of Nigeria.

My dad had said this from the beginning that we underrate this man to Much. He is not clueless nor shoeless. I don't no whether to call him wise but I no he knows what he is doing. What I do know is he will win 2015 elections but I have this great feeling that something terrible might happen and he won't finish it.

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 .

IF he were, to assume the position of ABACHA now ,people wil still complain...
4ME, this BOKO-HARAM, don't even know what they are doing to their communities and themselves...
THIS IS JUST D GENESIS OF POVERTY in the north.

I, expect u to know what happened in EGYPT few years back.
U may get there but your loyalists can decide not to work again, following some cracks in your cartel.
FROM, they way things are going ,d North may only survive on RELIEF IDEAS...

All becos GEJ is not a Yoruba man. Tribalist!

Substantiate your accusations with evidences. At least we all see the evidences of Jonathan's incompetency and unbridled corruption. During Jonathan's administration, more innocent lives than ever have been lost because he has failed to deliver on the promises of national security he swore to. If by voting Jonathan out, no more lives would be lost, no more insecurity in Nigeria, no more corruption, no more interference in state affairs by the wife of the president, I would rather vote him out and secure the next innocent life from been lost. Do I want to see another life lost because Jonathan is incompetent..... hell NO.

NewsHub:


Please help me tell them. All these fans of President Jonathan are really annoying. There is nothing wrong in criticising the president. Even President Obama has been called names especially by Donald Trump.

hansad:
in the US, Americans team up and fight terrorists. A group of Americans do not terrorise their country with the hope to make their leader guilty so as to have him voted out, so as to make way for beneficiaries from that terrorism to be voted in. In Nigeria, terrorists from a section of the country attack the country, but Nigerian lowlifers and power grabbers, including you, blame the president with the objective to sack him.. Your lot in Nigeria capitalize on poor education of Nigerians and spin unverifiable rumours of corruption against the president, all in the bid to grab power from him. Buf00n, who perhaps lives in the land of democracy and equality but still weighed down by ethnic/religious bigotry.

Soyinka condemns Jonathan’s ‘Impunity’, Likens President To ‘Nebuchadnezzar’

Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, has lambasted President Goodluck Jonathan for allowing what he called a reign of impunity, the latest being police siege on the National Assembly.

Mr. Soyinka said the latest action of Suleiman Abba, the Inspector General of Police, against members of the House of Representatives was an “unambiguous” declaration of war against the people.

At a press conference in Lagos he titled King Nebuchadnezzar – The Reign of Impunity, Mr. Soyinka said that the battle line had been drawn and Nigerians must decide whether to submit or resist to the current democratic dispensation.

“I shall not insist that the biblical figure of Nebuchadnezzar is uniquely apt for the pivotal figure of the ‘democratic’ history in the making at this moment,” said Mr. Soyinka. “For one thing, Nebu was a nation builder and a warrior. One could argue even more convincingly for the figure of Balthazar, his successor, or indeed Emperor Nero as reference point – you all remember him – the emperor who took to fiddling while Rome was burning.

“However you should easily recall why I opted for King Nebu – the figure that currently sits on the top of our political pile himself evoked it, albeit in a context that virtuously disclaimed any similarities, even tendencies. Perhaps he meant it at the time when he claimed: ‘I am no Nebuchadnezzar.’ Perhaps not. One judges leaders on acts however, not pronouncements, which are often as reliable as electoral promises.”

Mr. Soyinka said that it was left for Nigerians to decide to revert to the ‘Abacharian status of glorified slaves.”

“The praetorian guards have been let loose – to teach the rabble their place,” he said.

“The recent choice of a new leader for the guard was clearly no accident, and this hitherto unknown enforcer, one Suleiman Abba, has wasted no time in inaugurating a season of brutish power. When a people’s elected emissaries are disenfranchised, cast out like vagrants and resort to scaling fences to engage in their designated functions, the people get the message.

“However, the choice is always there, and each choice comes at a cost. It is either we pay now, or pay later.”

Mr. Soyinka also said that President Goodluck Jonathan had continued to surprise Nigerians in ways “few could have conjectured.”

“Peaking at his own personalised example where he set the law of arithmetic on its head – I refer to the split in the Governors’ Forum, and his ‘formal’ recognition of the minority will in a straightforward, peer election – democracy has been rendered meaningless where it should be most fervently exemplified.

“Nothing is more unworthy of leadership than to degrade a system by which one attains fulfilment, and this is what the nation has witnessed time and time again in various parts of the nation, the recent affront against the legislative chamber being only the most blatant and unconscionable…

“It is a warning. His choices for the occupancy of crucial public positions – such as the protective arm of the nation – constitutes an even more immediate and constant public alert. The signals are ominous – for and beyond 2015.”

DOES THAT MEANS HE IS GOING TO CHOP GRASS VERY SOON

GEJ should rather be compared with legends like Idi-amin, Hitler, Saddam Hussain, Charles Taylor.

I can tell you for sure that GEJ is the most "clueless" president to ever rule this country!

Without men like him, imbeciles like you won't be able to open their mouths and enjoy freedom. So Jonathan can enter Air Force One? You are as clueless as the clown that gave you expired rice. Keep at it, Soyinka has achieved all that he could in life. Outside that hell hole you call a country you think anyone gives a crap about that f00l in aso rock? Soyinka can stand anywhere in the world and be recognized where it matters. Internet has made some of you guys dumber. Keep feeding on the rice, you'll run out.

PointB:
Wole Soyinka is just a talkative, who now-a-days mostly talks nonsense. Who even listens to him?
