Some quotes from Wole Soyinka's message to commemorate the 2018 May Day celebration

"Give a nation-wide order to all land-usurpers in the affected towns and villages across the nation to quit those forcefully occupied lands within a forty-eight hours deadline. Issue orders to
the military and police that, wherever illegal occupiers are found, they should be meted the same treatment as are accorded terrorists. Instruct all agencies that, once cleared of usurpers, the rightful occupants should be escorted back to their farmsteads and villages and provided maximum protection. We must go beyond arresting a token handful of herders caught with arms – there are still hundreds of them in the forests. 

It is not enough to back the anti- open grazing laws, so late in the day, but we shall leave that for later...The plain expression is “ethnic cleansing” and we must not beat around the bush. The shade of Rwanda hangs over the nation. 

"...The torrent of Internally Displaced Persons is a national shame, and the growing number of the kidnapped an embarrassment. The plane cannot remain on auto-pilot as hitherto, while the pilot strolls up and down the aisle, assuring passengers that all is well."
