Desola: How does it change the facts stated in the article? By the way, this has got nothing to do with Patience Jonathan. Does the fact that it was written 6 years ago change the alleged fact that; "[b]From all the available records of service in Soyinka’s trajectory in life, there are legions of references to suggest that he is a man of dual personality. It is a matter of fact that Soyinka served in the Babangida regime in the capacity of Chairman, Federal Road Safety Commission. It is also on video tape that he publicly endorsed the Structural Adjustment Programme of the Babangida era. It is also a matter of fact, that he had always abhorred the objective behind the Nobel Laureate until he was made a beneficiary. It is on record that he accepted the second highest honour of Commander of the Federal Republic [CFR: during military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. The award was to shore up his profile against the wholesale criticisms by his colleague writers, of his Nobel Laureate which they said he did not merit. It is on record that he went overseas to campaign against the democratic elections of 1983 won by Alhaji Shehu Shagari, on account of the elections being rigged. It is also on record that his tenure as Chairman of FRSC was not the best of times for the organization. He ran the Commission as his personal fiefdom. When the Abacha regime tried to investigate his tenure of the FRSC he went on self exile.It is a matter of historical correctness that he walked into the studio of Western Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation in 1965 to substitute a pre-recorded broadcast of the Premier just to cause chaos. Typical of a man whose upbringing was admittedly characterized with storm and stress, he established the Seadogs Confraternity during his undergraduate years in the University of Ibadan. We all know the implications of that confraternity in the life of Nigerian universities. [/b] 1 Like |

one.east4: Soyinka spent 26 months in prison for taking sides with Biafra during the civil war. He was in solitary confinement for the entire time. I dare you to name one personal sacrifice that any of those you mentioned above, made for other Biafrans during the civil war. Lets forget about non-Biafrans now. Direct your response to the millions of innocent women and children who died. 2 Likes |

Sunny_bobo: Now that you have quoted an IBB errand boy, why don't you supply proof to support the assertions above. Please don't shy away from this challenge. To be clear, provide evidence that 1. Soyinka abhorred the Nobel prize 2. The prize was given to him because they didn't want him to criticize other writers. 3. Soyinka went into exile because he wanted to avoid FRSC probe rather than because he was fighting for the June 12 mandate to be upheld. Please answer the following 1. If an election is rigged, should stakeholders keep quite? 2. If Soyinka is guilty of causing the wahala in Nigerian universities because he is a founder of a confraternity, then humanity should hold Karl Benz and Henry Ford responsible for inventing the car and mass producing it, no? |

Katsumoto: Soyinka wasted his time and energy. Ibo cretins are not worthy of such sacrifice.they are an absolutely irredeemable and ungrateful lot. While he was in solitary confinement , the beast from the east (ashebe) was globetrotting for biafras recognition. Yet you can see from his last trash book that he,like the majority of ibos are forever besotted with "Awo and his Yoruba people"...... 1 Like |

one.east4:Don't make a mess of this thread, this is not an ethnic challenge. This is certainly not the best of times for Wole Soyinka but I still respect what he stands for, he has his weak points as a human but it doesn't take away the fact that he is a national icon I still admire. 1 Like |
