We are happy about the release of the old man. But the question is, why is Prof. Soludo not thinking of affecting Nigeria in any other way than through a government seat? With the knowledge, success, money and influence, Soludo does more to help the many unemployed youths and the sagging economy by making outfits where jobs can be provided, many NGOs that will both provide employment and boost the economy.

He is the cause of plague on his father's life and we should know how he got his father released, police should investigate it. It is very uncommon that the kidnappers just repented without any ransom or stuff of such. Chris Uba and the rest are saying how Soludo went to them to bribe them too. I don't personally think all of these are lies: the point is that, where is Soludo getting all these money from: he must have been seriously saving up for this time when in CBN right, i remember million of dollars were among the bribe offered. Why are these so called intellectuals too rubbishing the class they belong too?
