    I AM IN TOTAL SHOCK WITH THE PERSONS OF SOYINKA AND THE SAVE NIGERIA GROUP. THE MAN WHO WROTE THE MAN DIED KEEPS SILENT WHEN THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT NIGERIANS ARE KILLED INCLUDING THE YOUTH WHO ARE THE FUTURE OF OUR LAND. BUT THEY TAKE UP ARMS OVER SUBSIDY. WHICH IS A GREATER EVIL? ARE THEY SO PERVERTED THAT THEY NOW THINK THAT MONEY IS WORTH MORE THAN THE LIVES OF NIGERIANS AND THE UNITY OF THIS NATION. THIS THINKING IS PART OF THE CORRUPTION BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAY ALL THOSE WHO LOOT OUR TREASURY THINK. THEREFORE SOYINKA DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BETTER VALUES THAN THOSE HE IS FIGHTING. THE SAVE NIGERIA GROUP SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITS DISTORTED VIEW OF SAVING THIS NATION.

    MR. REASON. I admire your love for the innocents who are been killed in this country for whatever reason or motive. No sane person can support that. But could it be that if the people who finance these evil acts don't have access to huge funds they wouldn't engage in such acts? My personal thinking is that the one who has access to huge funds of the magnitude mentioned in the scam becomes so powerful that he has all he needs to push his ambition to any limit even when he has to destroy his nation to achieve that. These vices that are slowly destroying this nation must be condemned and resisted.

    Oga Soyinka, if Lawan F. the Nigerians' big brother took about three months to sieve to us the economic cheats' on the subsidy it will be reasonable enough to give the executive one and half MONTHS to implement and half a month to let citizens of Nigeria know its achievement before the world society can take its stand on the executive. PLEASE note- IT IS A PROPOSAL...!!!????
