MBuhari atiku GEJonathan Soyinka cannot know everything. Let him get in touch with. H.E Osibanjo for a lecture on the constitution.

MBuhari atiku GEJonathan Mtswwwww

MBuhari atiku GEJonathan With all due respect sir, this is not time to debate on who has power to do what, this is abt people's live, this virus is more than war & must be treated as an emergency. U are over educated to sound this way sir.

MBuhari atiku GEJonathan All we are concern of is our lives not who has the power to order lockdown meant to save our lives. If he is not, then tell those who have the powers to do so.

MBuhari atiku GEJonathan No mind the old folk

Always thought I knew & adored Prof Wole Soyinka for his sagacity & logical reasoning, but on this, he is a big let down, very sad & unfortunate

Some things need support not criticism

Talking blues..wait until Corona gets to your abeokuta house doorstep...

When Corona catch old prof like u, u would survive. Pls try to understand between COVID -19 and literature. Is two distinct word.

I want to informs the Prof, that our president did the right thing, because if he refuse to kickdown Lagos and other states the situation will get worst.

oh come-on professor, this is more than a war 🙁

AbdurrashidMorh Okay! Bcos the locking is to his (Mr president) own interest abi?

Baba you are free to go and collect the key from him

We all understand, most Nigerians are no fan of Buhari.. But, what other options do we really have, instead of quoting Laws?.

Senseless Man, in this critical moments we don't need criticism only solution we need

so please who has the power to ?

Old age ne

This man simply doesn't want us the young ones to get to his age.

Please challenge the order in court.

Educated but I didn't see ur donations

But, he has every prerogative to donates ten billion naira to Lagos state government.

Oya now. Tell Soyinka to come out

What kind of book did this man read before saying i beg? This what they do to get youth read a good book in a wrong way..... please sir if done criticizing tell us the right he should have done, don't just sit there and criticize also share your contribution.

Good statement

Attention seekers everywhere. 😠

This should not form a debate please. If I'm the President, I'll solidly lockdown the whole Nigeria. Security of lives is Number 1 which is why we have been complaining of the poor handling of Bokoharam

Dementia is real oooooh!!! Does a pandemic need legal backing to operate U and ur followers can Kwantinew roaming free in ur isolated cars ....

Pls stop! This isn't literature

Before talking of no right to lock down of state, prof. What is the way out of this epidemic in the Nigeria. All the time law law law was law created for man or man created for law? Law can be adjust to suit our peculiar situation since we created it.

I don't know were dis so call lawyer of us s drive u to go, buhari have power to lockdown in Nigeria 🇳🇬 but dem tell u to stay indoor in UK and u obey. Nonsense

Prof had a gut feeling.

Reading too much books at time is not good.

You as who? Please respect your self president is your mate

Oya super man, go and undo the lockdown now. If he doesn't you will say he didn't do anything, now he has done what is right you are shouting, Abu na you den pay to spread the virus?

Let save lives first before anything else Sir

Hang your own there. Dat you manage win nobel price many years ago no give you any monopoly of knowledge. Go read the constitution again!

Go and open them, I thought you have a key too.

Old fool! Get tested too!
