Freedom of speech made Wole Soyinka to air his view but airing your view on a dead man aint really an intelligent way of becoming great.I dont do politics and neither do i know anything about Wole Soyinka apart from the facts that he is a writer. I just wonder what he was doing all those years to make Nigeria greater than what it is.. I kn the late Abacha isnt a good topic of discussion but trying to ease ones conscience by dragging up ugly linens of a dead man should be beneath everyone much more someone whom the nation felt should be awarded.

Now is not the issue to slander the dead or discuss the past mistakes and mishaps, now is the time to look forward, bury the already supposed buried hatchet and create a better Nigeria. I really dont have flare for politics but i do know that if it were my dad whether late or alive that was insulted publicly by someone whom i expected better from or from any one in particular, i wouldnt take it easy on that person. i would also give them a piece of the medicine to swallow and see if the pill once reversed taste good so I will not blame Late Abacha's children for responding publicly to his public insult to their late father.

One thing we all forget is that daily Abacha's kids hear all the things their father has done and daily the keep trying to atone for the wrongs he had done the nation. we need to give them a shoulder to lean on and not treat them like cast away. the sins were their fathers and he is dead so let sleeping dogs lie.

One more thing i want us to remember is that though Abacha wasnt a good leader, if he was the president today, Boko Haram wouldnt have been a topic or a threat today because he would have mercilessly destroyed them not humor them as our present people are doing. with him Boko Haram would have been non existence and total history. Wole Soyinka called a spade a spade but he ran his lips too wide and thats where he faulted

Peace
