Stop Using Security Agencies To Silence Nigerians - Soyinka Tells Buhari by Drinokrane: 6:24am On Aug 25, 2019 |
Prof. Wole Soyinka has alleged that the Buhari-led administration is using security agencies to silence Nigerians. The Nobel Laureate made this claim at the unveiling of an art gallery in commemoration of his 85th birthday. Insisting that such move only shows that the government is afraid, Soyinka added that it also reduces those running the government, Igbere TV reports. “It is important to send strong message to this government and to the security services to stop trying to muzzle people when they come together to exchange ideas. “You’re reducing them as human beings and you’re also reducing yourselves as human beings, because it means you’re afraid to listen" he said. Speaking further at the event held on Saturday August 24, Soyinka told Nigerians not to believe everything they read on social media. “Be very, very careful what you believe even when you read such materials in social media or sometimes in newspapers because in this country, we have a most fertile multiplier effect. “When somebody hears something, he puts it on the Internet, it spreads and an industry begins as people start commenting on things which never existed. “Sometimes on social media, you’ll even see trending quotes supposedly from me, with my name, my photograph, with statements which represents what those people want to say but lacked the courage to say it" he said. This is coming after security operatives sealed off the venue of a symposium where Soyinka, Falana and many others were expected to speak on the security issues ravaging the country. http://igberetvnews.com/931044/stop-using-security-agencies-to-silence-nigerians-soyinka-tells-buhari/ 23 Likes 2 Shares

Some people were thinking that Buhari was coming to victimise a particular tribe, he came and has been attacking all the tribes except a tribe known for cattle rearing! Such people are now crying. 166 Likes 16 Shares |

I think just love complaining over nothing. This govt has been extremely tolerant to dissenting views. Security agencies only step in when protests get out of hands e.g wen imn decide to launch attack on national assembly. Soyinka abeg go rest 6 Likes 4 Shares |

What an elder sees while sitting, a child can't see even if he climbs a skyscraper. But these days they see nothing. If that proverb was applicable, Wole Soyinka with his intelligence wouldn't have endorsed Buhari in the first place. He's a double standard elder 54 Likes 4 Shares |

Soyinka if you don't shut your mouth up, he will use the same Security agents, probably his other secret security outfit, the Fula herdskini to send you to your final rest, so you better shutup and enjoy the next level game. Just in: US embassy cancels all visa interviews in Nigeria till further notice due to the wire fraud case recently burst by FBI agents. More nations expected to isolate Nigerians in the coming months and years as more international online platforms have relaunched strict security monitoring for Nigerians doing all forms of businesses online 3 Likes |
