Lol, she's one to talk, with all due respect. Hehe. Culled from Punch
Wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Friday took on the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, for attributing the crisis in the Rivers House of Assembly to her.
In a statement by her spokesman, Ayo Osinlu, the President’s wife said Soyinka betrayed the moral duty that expected him, as a respected member of the society, to carefully consider all shades of issues that informed his opinions on any matter.
Mrs. Jonathan said Soyinka had become an embarrassment to his admirers with his diatribe against her.
The statement read in part, “Unfortunately, Soyinka betrayed moral duty in his recent diatribe against Mrs. Patience Jonathan.
“Of course, this would not be the first
time he would reach out against the First Lady, usually from
self-righteously indignant lecterns.
“In this particular instance, his
verdict was that Mrs. Jonathan was ‘stoking the crisis currently rocking
her home state of Rivers…’, and thereupon asked Mr. President to
caution his wife.
“The good, old Prof. reminds one of the
truth that indeed, most of the giants on the street are men of like
passions like everyone else. Worse still, most of them are actually
standing on clay feet and would fail the test of a gentle push.
“Otherwise, who would have believed that
the social, civil, constitutional and sundry rights crusader Prof.
would maintain a safe distance from the heart of an activity that is a
potential threat to the peace, security and safety of the people of a
state, then collect exaggerated stories and jaundiced perspectives from
familiar propagandists and character assassins, and promptly summon the
media to a “state of the nation” address.
“It’s an embarrassment to his throng of
admirers and followers, that a sage of Prof. Soyinka’s status, who used
to be a gauge of public morality in this nation, would lend himself to a
propaganda of high drive, to save a governor who elected to launch into
a river without applicable survival skills.”
Mrs. Jonathan argued that the
calculation was to attack the President and pull to pieces anyone
associated with him, as a strategy for attracting public sympathy to the
“clear underdog.”
She said Soyinka was only contributing to the project when he claimed that she was Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s problem.
Silly woman....what an irony

When Oga was winning Nobel laureate in d 1980s she was helping her mum to sell Akara under one bridge for a village.
She is obviously a very big fool with no respect and must be taught a lesson in how not to address her elders. #Fool
Exactly y wld he make such statement? Was she d one dat did wht dos touts did. Yall shld have respect for ur first lady,she deserves it,is it her fault that God placed her where she is? Atleast she's trying to b better by learning,no body is perfect,and some of u that is ranting ur mother is worse. Pls cut her some slack,frm all ur hate words d only reason u hate her is cus she's not perfect with d english language,notin more. R u people ok? R u pretty sure u are? R u future leaders?

Oops I forgot she's d first lady but we haven't forgotten she's an epitome of embarassment. Everything about her is an embarassment; her face, speech, dressing etc Wole Soyinka was right; she needs to be a lady b4 she can be a first lady

ReplyDeleteI am seeing this current govt and her agenda loosing their taste of civility and moral standing. I don't see any reason why the so-called First Lady should talk to an elderly statesman with such verbal brutality, irrespective of what he (Soyinka)said to her. Really think its quite unpresidential though.
ReplyDeleteElderly staesman sud deliberate or attack issues nt personality.... He (Soyinka) attacked her person she also has d right to do same. I think Soyinka sud b blame here.
DeleteHw on earth can she insult Prof. Soyinka?! He has achieved more than ur family wuld ever do. She z and will always be a great embarassment to Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteA big shame to knw dt she's actually d first lady. Madam, my village students r way better than u in speaking English Language.

ReplyDeleteTo be endorsed by this kind olodo na big insult o!. Dat shows dat dear profs level of thinking is light years ahead of this olodo. It makes me imagin a monkey agreeing with the conversation of a human. You have to be monkey to agree with monkey.

ReplyDeleteI love your creative writings in literature, you are a literary icon but lacking in common sense for calling women 'mere domestic appendages', what wonders if its the attitude that made you marry and divorce 3 times.
With age comes responsibility, your brain is in your head, locate it and use it. Post my Comment
Shut up... did pyrate kill ur father or any of ur relations? pls be guided with ur utterances.
DeleteAdvice: face the matter on ground and leave pyracy out of it. I m sure ur father may also be a pyrate...
Nigerians are so blind dat they cnt differentiate d right 4rm wrong bcos of d personality involved........ Soyinka is totally wrong here.
DeleteAbeg lindo,na patience speak all these grammar? I no believe,lmfao.
ReplyDeleteSir. Please try to respect Mr. President's wife cos you may not be too sure of all your insinuations about her. And let me hope it is not cos Amechi belongs to the Pirate confraternity that you are standing blindly behind him. Hope sir, you will not end ur era talking about a woman.
ReplyDeleteIt will be more hounorable for Amaechi to be a pirate than ur so called GEJ meddling with Vikings... is it not shameful? i beg to revert back to the videos of the assembly disgrace whr GEJs men were shouting Aroa die it..it shameful dear...

ReplyDeleteShame on soyinka, old fool.
ReplyDeleteSoyinka deserve what he got!!stupid old dog dats wot he is!!!!where was he when ota baboon(obasanjo) was busy destroying anambra state?? Did he ask stella to caution her baboon husband??? Soyinka should just drop dead!!!noble fool!!!he has never contributed anything to the building of this nation.soyinka cover ur face with basket and die!!! Stupid balless yoruba dog!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy exactly are people abusing the First Lady? Prof Wole Soyinka made a derogatory remark about her, and she reacted with an on point come back....kini big deal? If u ask me, I think the Prof stooped too low to comment and link the FIRST LADY to the current crisis rocking RS. He is a renowned Prof but hellooooooo.... She too is still the First Lady now and she deserves some respect.
ReplyDeleteThe response by Patience was well deserved by Prof. His statement was a pure character assassination of the first lady of his country. He should have gone straight to address Patience's ill-timed and inciting visit to PH rather than making cheap of her personality. Im not a pro-Jonathan anyway, but our emotions must not becloud our sense of judgment. Mrs Dem Patience remains the first lady of Nigeria till 2015. Prof Soyinka and all of you who are going undully vulgar on her have no option for now, except you GTH. Enof of this ado about thing!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible dat Wole soyinka was bribed as d media was 2 talk in favour of amechi.wolw soyinka is alwasys in Rivers sate n in his memo dat caused dis controversy he said his close colleague was in d government house wen d crises played out...hw,d colleague without name;dats nt wole style.we just have coRruption taking on gud men..

LINDA, LINDA, LINDA!!!!!!!How many times did I call you? Did you really type world respected and renowned writer, Wole Shoyinka's name and Patience illetrate Goodluck Jonathan's name in the same sentence?
ReplyDeleteNow that, is an embarrassment to bloggers all over the world!
Soyinka i respect you a lot, please leave all this little matters i beg. You are a Nobel Laureate remember?
ReplyDeleteEveryone of u speaking out abusive word to d first lady I pity u cos firstly what goes around comes around then secondly u can never get that which u admire but despise, ie if u r a woman u can never be a first lady, if u r a man u can never b a president.
ReplyDeleteNigeria gagaga everything scatter scatter..idris said it all now if coming reality...fuck it

ReplyDeleteDis Madam last lady is a big fool,dis was d same man dat came out on d street of abuja when turai yardua turn ur Hubby to boy boy for Villa !!!
ReplyDeleteI want to believe that 99.9% of the the comments on this post are from young potential Nigerians, thus it hurts me to read all your comments which are either for or against the wife of the president. Conflict is never resolved by pointing fingers or dishing blame soup to someone for a problem. There is a problem in Rivers state and indeed in Nigeria as a hole; the last thing we want to be doing trying blame someone or some people for these problem. Even though it is tempting and obviously what we can do, we should try as much as possible to refrain from it; because blame only fuels and accelerate conflict. Our sole concern should be what we can do to solve the problem and make sure they don't reoccur.
ReplyDeleteThe noble Prof Soyinka is a very respectable man, one of the most respectable and reputable Nigerian alive today, I have only two questions for you sir; if you start insulting the other people in society as you have done the wife of the president of our dear nation, what will the young people who look up to you do, when we are faced with people who over use their position of privilege? If you start pointing fingers and playing blame game, as you have done in the case of the crisis in River state what will youth like me that have set you as a role model do when I'm faced with crisis in my society?
We must understanding that for democracy and the Nigeria state to work we have to realize that we are one unit and one entity, that the failure of one is the failure of all, that the problem of one is the problem of all. I'm of the opinion that the first lady is as much to blame for the conflict in Rivers state as the governor of the state Gov Amaechi, as I am, as you are.
It is my belief that no conflict is unsolvable, only what is needed id flexibility and a touch of the sense of oneness.
Let us live in humility and solidarity, and Nigeria will grow.
God bless NIGERIA
Young Nigerians; what is wrong with you'all, go back, read all the comments you'all have been posting, don't you find it disturbing that it is so easy for us to slight a fellow Nigerian, especially someone in such a position as the first lady?
ReplyDeleteWith such attitude I fear for the future of my country, I fear for the leadership my children will have.
The same embarrassment you'all are accusing the first lady of bringing to Nigeria, that is what each of you have brought to our dear country by posting those comments. In case you didn't realize; this is the internet, these blogs are not only read by Nigerians. Insulting the wife of the president of your country is insulting your country and every one in it. And you all have done it so the whole world can see.... I applaud you all, for representing the image of Nigeria to the world, thank you very much.
You all keep highlighting how much the first lady is prone to mistakes in her spoken English, who among you did not learn to speak English and stumbled along the way, and even with that how fluent are you really?! If you have never constructed an incorrect sentence; please by all means continue you despicable disgusting behavior, but if not; never any of you dare even mention the grammatical shortcoming of the first lady!
Mehn that woman ehn! The day i gave up on her was when in a wedding she said "May God give you a good children" and then she repeatedly kept saying "In the book of efficiency" instead of ephesians..smh! Nd shes talking about embarassment!.
ReplyDeleteI seeee their are lots of ignorant and jobless peps here writing all sort of crap about a lady who was lucky to be d president's wife. Its non of your biz whether she is educated or not. Her husband who is Mr President and comander in chief is educated and datz what matters. Prof shoyinka was a fool to have made such statements about her in first place over something he knowz nothing about. Prof made d wrongest move...period. Meanwhile I know say most of una mama no sabi handle pen sef...lol.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed, it has just been one anonymous defender of first lady...
DeleteWell try harder...
If u had the might to call sonyika a fool... that means u dnt have any moral standi to stand in defence of ur firstlady...
U are a better fool...and a blind servant.
The christmas will soon be over! Trust my words..
I guess u know so much about d problem rocking rivers state, pls educate us. Its so unfortunate having people like u around, if i were 2 b ur mother i would ve disowned u, u re such a disgrace 2 dis generation, even a lunatic knows d presidency is behind d crisis in rivers state.
DeleteSoyinka is human. He made a mistake simple....
DeleteMtcheeeeeeeeeeew ...... Story yii ti long juuuu .....
ReplyDeleteProf was very wrong by calling a press conference and openly insulted the first lady. U don't expect her to keep her cool, now people are saying she's being disrespectful to an old man, prof pls u are well respected, don't come down to this level all because u are trying to protect Amechi. Even if u don't like d first lady atleast respect d fact that she is d wife of your president. Insulting her openly is like insulting your president. Whether we like it or not God placed them there and He has said respect those in authority for I placed them above u, so if curse them u are disobeying God.
ReplyDeleteVery true. He has no right or so ever to insult the first lady. Make him respect himself or else them go fall him hand with the noble laurate. Enough said.
DeleteWell said....
DeleteHmmmmmm!!!! No b small tin we go c and hear for dis our naija
ReplyDeleteWole Soyinka actually embarrassed me when she called women 'mere domestic appendages' Very insulting to women! Women should rise against this or else other men will see them as such. I'm married and my wife is a partner in progress and not a 'mere domestic appendage' WS sees women as necessary domestic animals(sorry, domestic properties). Embarrassing indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou just proved to ur wife and the whole world that you dnt knw English...
DeleteShe should behave like a partner in Progress, not a partner in fuelling crisis
DeleteMadam shuld speak 4 haslf..let's know wah she rili intends syin..#winks#..

Prof there ar beta issues we need ur attention on nt ds River state issue! Talk abot ASU strike,nd oda relevant issues. Thank u sir
ReplyDeleteIts pathetic, that we even don't respect our leaders, the word of God asked us to respect and obey and mothers and fathers, so that our days on earth will be long, what if theses people are our parents, please beware how we talk to them,it will get to your turn.
ReplyDeleteYou should only respect those that are meant 2 be respected. Our leaders don't deserve respect, those that deserve it are being respected and those that don't deserve it shuld be insulted away 4rm powe. So don't put God into this we all understand the word of God

ReplyDeleteThat's the wife of Mr President bitches! Treat her wit respect. Linda Ikeji "lol she's one to talk" be kful oo. I till luv u
Before Wole Soyinka opened his mouth, he must done some digging into this crises before he made the declaration.Furthermore if Madame Patience Jonathan thinks she is going to win in a war of words with a NOBEL LAUREATE of Literature. She and her publicist are going to have to enter a library and hide cos Kongi will not spare her in any way. If they feel like, they should go and send the SSS to harass him...Dem no born dem well!
ReplyDeleteProf had no ryt insulting d first lady......and she need not av replied. Both of dem av issues
ReplyDeleteAll of u dt talked ill abt Dame Jonathan, ur generation will nt see gud. The grace of God dt elevated dt family 4rm grass to grace will elude u 4ever.
ReplyDeleteI thought her husband said the youths don't have respect for elders; this is a pure example, because the youths feel justified when they insult elders just the way she feels now. Furthermore, she claims not to have a hand in the Rivers State crisis as suggested by Soyinka, but the end of her tirade has just shown us that 'the Governor elected to launch himself into a River with no applicable survival skills'. I see that as self-revealing. Amaechi, you are in soup.
ReplyDeletePatience is the mother of all disgraces. Wole Soyinka has brought more glory and honour to Nigeria than dis Olodo will ever in her life time. If she is someone's mother let her go and cook stew for them and supervise kitchen activities. Let her just do everyone a favour and STAY OUT of the limelight. It doesn't reflect well on her. It just magnifies her level of illiteracy .
ReplyDeleteGod Bless u Prof 4 speaking up! we need ur likes 2 caution mr president and his loyalist
ReplyDeleteHehe.. If I hear say she wrote that statement... Odiegwu!

Tax
ReplyDeleteshe actually said this statement when she was addressing her fellow widows..lolz
ReplyDeletewhy can't everyone stop acting childish and face the fact. whether or not the First lady is an expert at English language is too trivial an issue. the purpose of Linda's post is to seek your view on the matter, not on the quality of the First Lady's Use of English. The Prof. certainly made a derogatory remark and truth be told, he ought to eat the humble pie. that she is not as sound as him doesn't make her any less important. Lets set aside sentiments and address the actual issue.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it the same Prof dat marched for GEJ to have the 1st seat? He should go & clear the lice on his beard & hair. they' re disturbing his brain.
ReplyDeleteStil dnt get wat hapnd. Buh prof all d way #TeamSoyinka
ReplyDeleteThe recent removal of armoured tanks and soldiers from the Rivers state governor's office confirmed the rumour that President Jonathan and his wife Patience had hands in the Rivers state crises. Wole Soyinka is absolutely correct with his utterances. Olusola Oso. http://www.olusolaoso.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteMrs PATIENCE JOHNATHAN, I WONT INSULT U AS MANY HAVE DONE BUT WILL PLEAD WITH YOU. PLEASE PLEAD WITH YOUR HUSBAND TO CHANGE HIS WAYS AND RULE NIGERIA PROPERLY SO IT CAN CATTER TO THE POOR AND NEEDY IN SOCIETY. AS FOR YOURSELF MA, A WOMAN'S PLACE BESIDE HER HUSBAND SHOULD BE ONE OF HUMILITY , YOU SHOULD BE YOUR HUSBAND'S CROWNING GLORY, PLEASE LEAVE POLITICAL MATTERS TO YOUR HUSBAND AND LET HIM RULE. GETTING INVOLVED IN MATTERS LIKE THESE WILL ONLY BRING YOU DISRESPECT WHICH WILL BE SHOWN TO YOUR HUSBAND AS WELL....a word is enough for the wise.
ReplyDeleteThis statement hasn't actually said anything of consequence and is just full of grammar for nothing. She should just keep quiet and tell her husband to stop opening his nyash for everybody to see. How can a president and governor be turning a country into the platform for a pissing contest? *hiss*
ReplyDeleteI don't belong to those who hop onto d bandwagon! As much as I don't approve of all done by the Presidency, may I affirm in d clearest terms, that Wole Soyinka isn't d saint he may proclaim to be, and dat, in truth, he really is an embarassment atimes. He clearly lacks d 'grace and honour' wt wch some of his contemporaries, like Chinua Achebe tackles issues. There is this 'ghetto' attribute to many of his actions and reactions. His veiled jealousy and envy is increasingly being unveiled by the day...Please, let's be objective here.
ReplyDeleteAyo Osinlu, if sonyinka call mama jona 4 reconciliation now she go fit xplain wa8tn u write? Baba Soyinka no worrry urself jare, even a blind man know dat she ve have on the rivers crisis..
ReplyDeleteTwits, well said, that nigga is missing his glory days, so this is how he can keep in the limelight. Mr soyinka, there is still biro and paper, face ur literature and stop "capping careless"
DeleteSome nigerians are having problem of hearing and adhering †̥ the truth. Madam p Ȋ̝̊̅§ causing problem in river state and somebody is trying †̥ put her in order since her husband and the so called nigeria legislators can not. So what is wrong with that?
ReplyDeletehey people lets be constructive in our criticism,she may not be polished in speech but calling her names isnt d best,be guided cos it cud be ur turn,moreover english is a borrowed language,china's firstlady doesnt speak english nor does obamas wife speak french,god is watching
ReplyDeletebelieve it or not the main thing that we remember our former presidents for is that they immerse enormous wealth at the expense of nigerians, while the literary works of people like soyinka will speak for them for generations to come just like our own linda here a blogger, but what can we really remember patience for, even just 6 months after leaving office.... hnmmm her grammatical blunders... my people i lie??
ReplyDeleteJust as madam's been pointing accusing finger to Amaechi, Prof's got every righ to do the same to Madam and people should stop complaining about Prof. We've seen where a common American citizen criticizing the President, not to talk of Donald Trump publicly attacking the president. If madam runs her mouth like okro soup with no control, every citizen's got right to shut her up. Lawless Country!
ReplyDeleteThat Wole Soyinka is a professor and Noble Laureate mean he is too intelligent than others. He got his fame through luck and maybe other undisclosed forces. Coming out to insult the First Lady and wife of another man is enough reason to say his is not intelligent enough and an embarrassment to his admirers. He should not take side on the crises rocking Rivers State because he receives peanuts from Gov. Amechi whenever he is invited to chair an education summit in the state. He should be bold enough to condemn the Governor when he is derailing in his responsibilities. Does Prof. Soyinka have the moral right to insult another man's wife when he has non? Those running their mouth here should answer this.
ReplyDeleteDaniel aka reno omokri,stay there selling your future 4 peanuts.I'm sure d one dat birthed u copes with more dan enuff shame on ur behalf
DeleteIt irritates me how many fucking self righteous Nigerians try to defend e 1st lady (that is if she is) Prof Wole has the freaking right to make any statement he want about any Nigeria who is misbehaving including the president or his wife.
ReplyDeleteWhat i would have expected the President's wife to do was not to attack such reputable citizen someone who holds more respect than she will ever have.
But all of us knw that if this was America, they would have finished madam since her husband became the presido. She just dey go up and down, wetin she dey do? nothing... I can't see her impact in the lives of Nigeria that people will applaud her for.
ReplyDeleteBased on facts, Nigeria's 1st lady has no laudable record with her position, she impact positively in the lives of Nigerians and make people on the street smile and see if she will not get the backing of most Nigerians when issues like this arise.
ReplyDeleteAll we see is how she and her husband travel and how she gives us gbagauns.... #MAKEIHEARWORD
wole Soyinka never call women domestic appendage, he only refered to her position in this context. she is suppose to look for something meaningful to do instead of engaging in meaningless struggle with Rotimi Amechi. truly she should learn how to be a lady and stop this local attitude of hers, leave politics to politicians and she should take up her role as the supposed first lady. for me Jonathan is a fool the biggest alive. when people cannot make decisions for themselves and they allow others to toss them around they are fools. he doesn't even know what he wants from life. and Mrs patience the biggest coward alive, when people believe they can do something they should do it well. if she wants to be the devil in Nigeria politics she should own up to her actions instead of denying her them. the idiots that accused wole Soyinka of divorcing 3times are primitive, when a relationship is not working you let go instead of dying there, that is the reason your parents pour hot water on themselves, mending their ruined relationships and to all of you that will abuse me , I say u are MAD
ReplyDeleteWhich brain she get to write all that grammar. abeg, see us see Jona wife oooo
