Wole Soyinka Drums Support For Goodluck Jonathan, Blasts Military Mafia by BOBBYTRICK: 7:36am On Jan 09, 2015 |
It looks like the prof has given the president his full support while completely showing his dislike for Buhari Read what he said about both presidential candidates below: "There is something significant about Mr. President.He is the first president without any ties to the military mafia. All his children are in schools here in Nigeria. You cannot come across a skyscraper in any corner of Nigeria and people will tell you it belongs to him; even a seven storey building. "I strongly believe that GEJ is a phenomenal change from before and if we cannot find a better, young alternative, then we must remain with him until we can groom someone better.This is no time to go back to the military mafia and go back to our vomit" 7 Likes 1 Share |

iv4fb: There is no need to ask for source in relation to a blatant lie that has been recycled many times by TANdroids and discredited many times also. It is merely the manifestation of the desperations of TANdroids to steal 'endorsement' for GEJ. Total garbage that has nothing to do with Wole Soyinka. 5 Likes |

iv4fb: If you follow development properly you will know Wole Soyinka has issued angry rebuttals to lies from desperate minions of GEJ claiming Wole Soyinka supports the President. Soyinka has labelled supporters of GEJ “unscrupulous, disgusting and cowardly” for peddling the sort of desperate and shameless falsehood you now bring here. Wole Soyinka is no fan of GEJ. HE has made this clear on many many occasions to include saying directly that GEJ continuing beyond 2015 is "ominous for Nigeria". These desperate lies fool no one but TAndroids themselves. http://saharareporters.com/2014/11/04/soyinka-denounces-jonathan-support-group-over-fabricated-report Soyinka Denounces Jonathan Support Group Over Fabricated Report 2 Likes |

We all want good change, not the type being falsely propagated by APC and its cronies. Let's assume we've to make a choice between two bad options, since APC refused to present a better presidential candidate. Nigerians have to choose the " less bad option " ( settle for better option ), and that's GEJ. Buhari ( GMB ) is not the type of change Nigerians clamour for, and would never perform better than GEJ. The only reason APC gave Buhari the presidential ticket is because they think it would be the easiest way for them to return power to The North ( must be muslim Core North ), not that he's or would be a better alternative to GEJ. Nigerians please vote wisely, GEJ for now is the only better & safer option left for us. . 3 Likes |

The real feeling of Soyinka about GEJ laid bare below only in late 2014. TANdroid are unbelievably insane to then lie that Soyinka has ever endorsed or will ever endorse GEJ. Soyinka has never hidden his opinion about GEJ which is that he is a woeful President capable of destroying Nigeria. In fact Soyinka declares that GEJ is "unworthy of leadership" so I do not think TAndroids are going anywhere with these desperate and wild fabrications about Soyinka "backing" GEJ to continue after May 2015. http://www.informationng.com/2014/12/soyinka-blasts-jonathan-for-condoning-impunity-likens-president-to-nebuchadnezzar.html Soyinka Blasts Jonathan For “Unambiguously” Declaring War Against The People, Likens Him To King Nebuchadnezzar 2 Likes |

iv4fb: This so-called endorsement of GEJ by Soyinka has been presented here verbatim several times and discredited several times also. This is old and desperate fabrications that has been discredited as many times as it has been reproduced.

To me, none of these candidates are good enough.. GEJ has his issues with Corruption which was what he inherited from past leaders (I will say that Babangida is the father of all corruption in Nigeria). In GEJ's tenure, many people have loothed and spent the Nigerian money like it belongs to their fathers. I won't blame insurgency and bombings on him because we all know that it is a northern agenda and a bid to reclaim government. For example, I can still recall their cries that their children (BH) are being killed by JTF and the military when FG decided to face BH head on. GEJ privatised power destribution company in Nigeria, which is good, but only some areas in Nigeria are benefiting from that privatisation because I'm not. GEJ constructed roads but many other roads are still a mess and death traps. GEJ is working on Nigerian rail travel which is good but he hasn't done enough. GEJ is flexing NGN 1.3M (if am not mistaken) meal on daily basis. This amount of money can feed all the poor people in a state per day. GEJ has been known for reckless spending. Not good at all. Under GEJ's administration, Nigeria became the largest economy in Africa in terms of GDP but about 80% Nigerians are still living in poverty. So why isn't this GDP of a thing converted to job creation and stuffs, just like South Africa did? I can't mention all because they are numerous.. For GMB, Buhari fought corruption. We all know that this man is tribal/religious biased, evident is how he jailed non Hausa/Fulani Muslims but chose to pardon or place his people under house arrest. You'll hardly hear of an Hausa/Fulani Muslim jailed during this man's rule but he jailed mostly Yoruba people (eg. Fela, didn't know if Fela embezzled the Nigerian funds too) and a few Igbos due to one corruption charge or the other (and even the ones he didn't find guilty were sent back for trials and later jailed). How will you explain a coup that had a corrupt president like Shagari placed under house arrest with his vice placed behind Kiri kiri bars? Buhari constructed more roads than any other Nigerian government had but he also cancelled or abandoned important projects (Lagos metro line and Ajaokuta Steel) and most of the roads he constructed were all in the northern part of the country. Buhari improved the Nigerian economy by strengthening the naira (NGN 2 = $ 1) but he also stopped free education and feeding of students. GMB ensured that orderliness was maintained all over Nigeria and people had to que for everything, for fear of being lashed by military men. That is good, in short, that is actually what Nigeria needs now, but how will he enforce this rule in a democratic government? Still on corruption issue, APC/Buhari's strength area is fighting corruption. Buhari was once interviewed and asked questions on how he intends to fight corruption. His main response almost throughout the interview was that the institution is corrupt and that it is a different scenario compared to military rule. This shows to a great extent that the corruption issue in Nigeria is a very big problem that may not be easy to tackle in a Democratic government. So my question is, how will he make the change? Then again, Buhari is strict and fights corruption but his recent details of asset declaration and him being broke is skeptical. Also, where did his certificate travel to? So many more that I can't recall.. My question is, how will these two people effect the necessary changes that we Nigerians crave for? Its almost impossible! I might as well keep my vote. |

For those asking for source, see 4urself... It looks like this is some kinds of the dividends of democracy, at least you have the freedom to say whatever your choice is. Prof. Wole Soyinka is here again! Ask him what he think about Goodluck Jonathan retaining his seat in ASO rock, and you would be surprised to hear him paint Jonathan in the way you never think is possible. “Even though I have said it time and time again that the president should control his wife but there is something significant about Mr. President. He is the first president without any ties to the military mafia. All his children are in schools here in Nigeria. You cannot come across a skyscraper in any corner of Nigeria and people will tell you it belongs to him; even a seven storey building. I strongly believe that GEJ is a phenomenal change from before and if we cannot find a better, young alternative, then we must remain with him until we can groom someone better. This is no time to go back to the military mafia and go back to our vomit” In essence, he is repeating the popular adage that the “Devil you know is better than an Angel you know nothing about” The year 2015 is less than a month to go and the presidential election is just around the corner, Like every other elections, it has to be contested and there must be winners and losers. http://constative.com/politics/prof-wole-soyinka-clears-goodluck-president-2015 http://www.nigeriatell.com/news/prof-wole-soyinka-endorses-goodluck-jonathan-for-2015#.VK-wVoMo_Jt |

I think Soyinka's hatred for Buhari is as a result of the stress the military put his extended family through(Soyinka and Fela are cousins) hence I don't expect him to like any ex-general...this is a personal beef. |
