Ok

the f00l u knew is still a f00l.

Jrush:
believe it or not Baba will not change...

The fake christian leaders (Jonathan surrogates) have successfully corrupted him already. Watch and see ....

Ahoy,odas is odas.

Hahahahaha
Hohohohoho
Hehehehehe
Hihihihihihihi
Huhuhuhuhu

Yaaah!

BORN-AGAIN TEIF WHO REFUSES TO DEKLIAAAA HIZ AZZZZZZZETS!

W.S.! You need to stick with your area of expertise, WRITING TALES BY MOONLIGHT!

PoliTRICKS is not for you!

Anybody who still support Jonathan after hearing him say ''Stealing is not Corruption'' is either the person is Corrupt or has Corruption running in his/her bloodstream.

Swaggzkid:



Your a fool I shouldn't be talking politics with someone of your calibre, you still have a fish brain*

For your information wole soyinka campaigned for buhari, ok? Try and always buy newspaper to read and digest instead of sitting here to digest half baked news on nairaland*!

Sorry if your offended by my comment* OneLove sir

End of discussion

Soyinka did not campaign for buhari,
channel tv before election. Mope asked him who we should vote for, since he said no better candidate btw Gej and buhari, soyinka replied and said. We have other political parties and both of them are not the only ones contesting. Channel team said those ones are not popular.

My bro. Dont get ur fact in politics by what u read in new papers

you hav lost ur self worth, Soyinka....go and sleep

the simple truth is that when you in a military uniform you act like a military man, when you are within the scope of democracy you also act so PMB to me own no apology

I thought Goodluck Jonathan had already explained what he meant by "Stealing is not Corruption" in a live television interview featuring media anchors from premiumtimesng, channels, vanguardngr and NTA when he exposed and xrayed it in the context of Nigerian value system.

Stealing is abomination in our society where those indulged in the act are severely punished and ostracized while nobody cares including the Religious bodies when someone is tagged "corrupt" in our society. Examples include open and moral rejection of gifts from thieves while such stigma is never extended to the so-called "corrupt" members of our society especially politicians

However, the supposedly Intellectuals who understand the importance of context wouldn't allow that singular innocuous comment pass by because it serves well as one name given to a hated dog for a reason to hang/kill it.


Poor Johnathan, a once Nigeria President of minority extraction.

buhari dun change bkus we need change

soyinka, as a postgraduate, I get disappointed in you each day.
You have become a full fledged politician, and I suspect you have always been.
Soyinka, you are far from being the intelligent man I thought you were.
For your information, soyinka, the word corruption doesn't have a universal meaning. Indeed to heterosexuals, homosexuality is corruption, to passionate musicians singing with the help of electronics is corruption, to people against alcool, drinking alcool is corruption. And depending on your religious beliefs, corruption can mean different things. For muslims, eating porc is corruption, speaking ill of mohamed is corruption, not being a muslim is corruption. For christians not being a monotheist is corruption, not going to church is corruption. Also when a thief is being arraigned by the police for stealing an orange, nobody considers that thief a corrupt man. When someone rubs a bank and steals large sums of money, nobody calls him corrupt. I expected a university professor to know all this. How dissapaointed I am in soyinka who I thought was a world citizen and an intelligent man.

Mr. postgraduate, if you're going to attack someone for their intelligence, at least proofread your paragraph.

That said, Soyinka has a valid point, and your grandstand is no more than an attempt to challenge an intellectual, specifically for the sake of a "challenge."

Stealing IS corruption, whichever way you approach it. Everything has a root cause, and for one to steal (whether by embezzlement or whatever) it requires a corrupt state of mind and affairs.

Of course, stealing is not synonymous with corruption, and corruption isn't synonymous with stealing. Notwithstanding, this does not negate the sub-categorization of "stealing" as corruption.

Your statement is foolish. Out of which heavenly authority do you judge people in such manner ? I have already given a logical explanation to why Ex president Jonathan was right. The only problem is the public which wants to turn his words against him. Also GEJ's intelligence is way above that of the average nigerian. That is why your likes don't understand a simple semantic discussion.

Leave them,let soyinka be deceiving hmself looking for cheap favour,2 old men with 2many old wahala

With your experience prof. you should know that
the same mouth with which you greeted goodmorning in the morning,
you still use for good afternoon in the afternoon

Tahhhhhhhhhh! Don't insult Uniport orr ....

dammylohlah:
How can a public figure, an intelligent person like that, come out to tell the public that corruption is not stealing? Then you should have asked him, what then is corruption? The media should have challenged him.”



Uniport certificate is questionable. I cant employ any uniport graduate in my company.

I won't proof read my write up. It is only in Nigeria that people confuse "good spelling skills" with "intelligence" and "proof of education". Apart from my lack of spelling skills what holes did you find ? it would have been more useful if you had attacked my logics. You are entitled to your opinion which is exactly what you have given. And it seems to me that we ca modelise your opinion like thus: let A be a person, let B be "A is a thief", and let C be "A is corrupt". Your opinion is: (B -> C)&(not(C ->B)).

Interesting definition, but it would imply that all presidents and kings and leaders are corrupt.

If i say something now, some 0bstreperous non entities will qoute to attack me. Hearby making the thread to be 0dd

I used to be a great fan of this guy soyinka, but now he has shown his true face: that of deceipt.
When soyinka says this about buhari "he is a born again phenomenon". What I want to ask him is where is your proof ?
Each time people underline buhari's tribalism attitude and his dictatorial ways, buhari's supporters say that we should give him more time before concluding, whereas, someone would just come out of nowhere and categorically say that buhari is a born again ! Soyinka was one of the people who called buhari a terrible dictator as bad as sani abacha, soyinka said that in the 2011 electtions. And shamelessly soyinka is singing another music now. Soyinka, it is obvious that either old age is playing tricks on you, either you get money to say the things you say.

How OLD ARE U. All this twenties get mouth and pen to dey write with watever shoyinka may have said. As ur parent about buhahahari. Regime of 70's when in military and now as president.

Yesterday on nairaland, I saw a post by someone named Quizmillionaire, I clicked on their signature, I landed on their website and had a live chat with a guy named John. I love quiz and trivia so much and here was a website where I can win lots of money answering quiz questions. I had my doubts as I have never come across such a gaming website before, but I decided to give it a try and in the process of playing, I mistakenly choose the 7 questions format instead of the 5 questions format I had intended. It all happened too fast and questions started showing up. The first questions were not so difficult but the final three were tough and I simply guessed right three times! A page came up that said I had just won N 200, 000. For a minute I did not know what to expect. I simply entered my bank account details in the provided field and was restless. To my utter amazement, four hours later I got a credit alert for N 200, 000! I still could not believe what was happening, I logged into my Internet banking platform and there it was! N 200, 000 credit from Aleph Intellectual Entertainment. I got a congratulatory email from them, They said they were a new skill based gaming company and that I was their very first winner. I promised to tell everybody I come across about them for a month, hence this thread. I even saw their advert on nairaland this morning. Their website is [url]quizmillionaire.com[/url]. THEY ARE GENUINE!

patriot4:
Soyinka is playing with the brains of gullible and unsuspecting nigerians. In a more developped country, these kinds of crooked statements like "born again" can not even be sold to children above 13. But frankly speaking, most nigerians are quite unintelligent and the old soyinka can sell them poo and contradict himself as much as he wants.

You claim that most Nigerians are not intelligent abi? I wonder how intelligent you are to vomit this poo. I have gone through your recent posts and observed with disdain the way you attack any comment against GEJ. and defend his administration as if your life depended on it. In as much as I respect the fact that we cannot all have the same political beliefs, we cannot also become totally deaf, blind and insensitive to happenings within our immediate environment in the name of politics . No matter how hardly you try to polish things, GEJ administration was extremely loose, corrupt, rotten, and almost destroyed the country. GEJ was a punishment to Nigeria and thank God we have finished serving him. Also you tried to challenge Prof Soyinka in the use of English. This is definitely a joke so we can ignore that I believe.

Is it not too early to make this statement WS?

Or is this the products of all the visitations?

Look, I didn't challenge soyinka in the use of english. I challenged him in the use of logics. As for being political, I am sorry, but out of both of us the most political is you.
I am not blinded by anything, I am guided by logics. I like people to be given their credentials. The same way I questionned people who were saying that buhari were a terrorist. I also defended the fact that a guy who rose up to the position of major general should not be required to hand over a waec to become a candidate for elections. I have personal opinions, but I am never guided by them, by training, i learnt how to use my brain the way you use your calculator.

Hmmmm...well, like you said, we all do not have the same political beliefs. So you are entitled to your opinion.
