Prof. Soyinka: Don’t Vote For Pres. Jonathan, He Has Been A Total Failure

Soyinka on Thursday declared that no one should vote for President
Goodluck Jonathan, as his leadership has been a complete failure, according to Sahara Reporters.

He reportedly made this declaration at the 2015 edition of Vision of the Child (VOTC) event in Lagos, a yearly
programme inaugurated in 2012.
Soyinka said to the students present:

“I will not vote and I will not
encourage anyone to vote for the
continuation of this government,
simply because your colleagues
numbering over two hundred were
kidnapped.

And the government of this nation
failed to show leadership. So anyone
who says after that event that I will
vote or cast my vote or encourage
anyone to vote for this regime must
be living in Sambisa forest…
There has been a failure of
leadership. Our children whom you
represent today have been betrayed…

After that dereliction of duty, after
that failure of leadership, after that
betrayal for our future, for anyone to
think or to put words in my mouth
suggesting that I will vote or
encourage anyone to vote for this
regime is a travesty of intelligence.”
The 2015 edition of Vision of the Child event was themed “The Road to Sambisa.”

A woman may be advised to have the symbol of Ifa on her person in order to solve a specific problem in life or to accelerate to the realization of certain goals for her while the husband may not be an Ifa practitioner at all.

Ẹ̀rìndínlógún in the old way of using it: Baba Odùdúwà: In ancient times, the "Cowrie Shell" was used whole. They didn’t took the belly out (the womb) as it done now in many places, when the full Cowrie was used (without opening the "belly"), the reading of the Oracle was something different, if the Cowrie Shell falls with the belly up, this means that it does not speak.
