Don’t Vote For Jonathan, Soyinka Lists Reasons by ChinemeOkpan: 3:32pm On Feb 05, 2015 |
Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, declared on Thursday that no one should vote for the continuation of President Goodluck Jonathan’s government, saying that there has been a total failure in leadership. He said he has sixty reasons not to vote for the Jonathan regime. “I will not vote and I will not encourage anyone to vote for the continuation of this government, simply because your colleagues numbering over two hundred were kidnapped, ” Soyinka told students at the 2015 edition of Vision of the Child (VOTC), a yearly programme inaugurated in 2012. He said the Chibok girls kidnapped on 14 April of last year were sent on a mission to acquire an education, but ended up being kidnapped. “And the government of this nation failed to show leadership. So anyone who says after that event that I will vote or cast my vote or encourage anyone to vote for this regime must be living in Sambisa forest,” Soyinka said, referring to a forest in Borno State where the Chibok girls are believed to be held by Boko Haram. “There has been a failure of leadership. Our children whom you represent today have been betrayed,” Soyinka said, adding that no appropriate action was taken to retrieve them. Soyinka said it took the Jonathan government ten days to even accept that the Chibok girls were even missing. “After that dereliction of duty, after that failure of leadership, after that betrayal for our future, for anyone to think or to put words in my mouth suggesting that I will vote or encourage anyone to vote for this regime is a travesty of intelligence, ” Soyinka said. Soyinka laughed off those who had claimed on the social media that he was dead, telling journalists at the event that they should not misquote him. If they do, he added, he will rise from the dead to correct them. The 2015 edition of Vision of the Child has for theme “The Road to Sambisa”. This year, a total of 250 student participants from 60 primary and secondary schools within Lagos attended the interview. The age bracket for the participants was 9 to 12 years. Their entries were assessed by a panel of eminent judges comprising teachers, artists, child carers and social workers. The finalists will be invited on the 7 March to the National Conversation Foundation Park. Lekki, and provided with brush, paint and easel, and will be required to illustrate their literary presentation in the complementary medium painting. This year, 60 finalists were drawn from 35 schools within Lagos State, said Foluke George, Festival Secretary and Programme Manager for the Vision of the Child.

RotrEmmanuel:It is no coincidence that most of the controversial news (believed to be propaganda) by Sahara Reporters always turns out to be true. You can check the records. The reason why you dolts hate them is because they dish out the incompetence of this government you support to it's face hot...No form of as.s-licking whatsoever. What is even more shameful is the fact that on previous occassions where Soyinka threw shots at GMB, it was never propaganda to you all. Now Soyinka is pointing out the incompetence of this useless government you support, he's suddenly a mere Poet and a member of APC National Committee...It's really unfortunate. 316 Likes 13 Shares |

An excerpt from Seun's post on Buhari's Military Government. See the climax of the change buhari brought in 1983 The austerity measures made it difficult for local industries to procure essential imported raw materials, leading many of them to close or to operate at greatly reduced capacity. Many workers were laid off, and government itself retrenched many workers to increase its "cost effectiveness." All of these actions were accompanied by high inflation. The price of basic food items rose, and life became increasingly difficult, even for the affluent. If life was difficult for the afluent, imagine the living condition the masses.
