Call your wife to order, cleric tells Jonathan

wife, Patience, to order so as to halt her perceived interference in governance.
Unuagha, a former Vice President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) said:
“Mrs. Jonathan’s meddlesomeness in governance is complicating the volatile situation in the
nation.”

Soyinka: sect ‘obscene,’ incapable of dialogue

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has described Boko Haram’s leader as an “obscenity” who is
likely to be incapable of dialogue.
The winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize for Literature told AFP by phone from Los Angeles
that Boko Haram chief Abubakar Shekau was “high on religion and drugs”.

“For me, we are dealing with a sub-human species,” Soyinka said. “How do you dialogue
with that kind of obscenity?”

Debate over the prospects of negotiating with Boko Haram and even Shekau himself has
been a controversial issue in Nigeria throughout the extremist group’s uprising which has
killed thousands.
