Professor Wole Soyinka- A straight Forward Nationalist or A man capable of uncommon Mischief?

Professor Wole Soyinka- A straight Forward Nationalist or A man capable of uncommon Mischief? I am sure that you recalled shortly after elder statesman, Sen. Bola Ige was murdered in cold blood at his home by probably the powers that be in Yoruba Land to enable the son of the soil Gen. Obasojo to be able to secure a home base support whilst the President of Nigeria realizing that Obasonjo had no chance what so ever to make any kind of in-rod into the south West whilst chief bola ige holds sway? You also recall the ground shaking testimony by one Mr Flayoo to the prolific lawyer, Mr. Festus Keyamu stating the lurid details of all Yoruba leaders that had their hands soiled with the blood of Chief Bola Ige? You may perhaps recall it was Professor Wole Soyinka that came out to discredit both Keyamu and his kinsman Mr. Frayo most obviously to save the heads of the Yoruba king pins who were mortally indicted by Mr. Frayo’s Testimony and thereby effectly killed that case? That was Professor Soyinka for you! Now be the judge: Since His Excellency Chibuike Amechi started to work openly against the President of the South South extraction, President Jonathan, have you noticed how often Professor Soyinka has come out openly in support of Chibuike Amech to ensure that Gov. Chibuike Amech succeeds in bringing down President Jonathan no matter what? Even in the so called cerebration of Port Harcourt being the books capital of the Universe, you may have noticed the sarcasm in Professor Soyinka’s words when he had anything to refer to President Jonathan. However when it was his town’s man the Son of the soil Gen. Obasonjo he was quite quick to ensure that nothing happens to him despite grave circumstances that cost the blood of one of the strongest man in Yoruba politics! However for other places it is Professor Soyinka’s preoccupation to ensure that such a president goes down or ridiculed! That is Professor Soyinka for you judge where you place him. I also want to tell Professor Soyinka that I and a lot of other concerned citizens are watching his rather unbecoming antics with keen interest and he should watch it. One would have expected that a man of towering intellect and age should be a little bit above board and if he doesn’t want to get himself messed up he should stay clear of politics and rather concentrate in inspiring the youths of Nigeria to a new height of intellectual pursuit. As per Gov. Chibuike Amech we will shortly find out how successful he would go in persuading South-South citizens to abandon President Jonathan and to vote for who!? For people like Obii Ezekwesili that address Gov. Chibuike Ameci as ‘president’ Rotimi Amech, apparently mistaken, but I advice her to be watchful of what she says. Well what people like Gov. Amechi has been doing in the South south has been to ensure that no one from the region ever get to the presidency. Once a man of quality credentials comes out from the region some rascals would go to one or two Emirs in the North and they give them some useless chieftaincy titles bingo they would roll out a campaign against the quality candidate and the Northern power broker would smile and present one candidate support him get the vote of the North and share the votes of the South South and South west and that of south East and slips into the presidency! Yes the thing the South South people were doing was also what the South East was constantly guilty of until lately. Come to think of it the so called ”born to rule” what really did they do to the country, they impoverished the whole country including their own northern brother. It is pretty obvious that if the circumstance that brought President Jonathan to power did not happen even in the next 50 years it is most unlikely any one from the South South or South East would ever smell Aso rock because of the crazy show of ruinous stupidity!
