Afegbua said that the recent outburst of Soyinka are not only misplaced, but have further confirmed the world renowned intellectual as two-faced, 'ego-defensive ideologue' who never practices what he preaches.
In a written response titled SOYINKA’S MISPLACED OUTBURST ON IBB OVER THE NLNG AWARD EVENT, Afegbua who is also the acting national chairman of the National Democratic Party (NDP) said it was in the character of Soyinka to dine with the powers that be in the night only to come out in the morning to condemn them in order to endear himself to the unsuspecting public.

Katsumoto:

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.

Malawian:
i knew they would try and bring ojukwu and biafra into this arguement. typical yuruba.

one.east4:
"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. Such a man cannot, by every societal standard, be a role model."



I still wonder why yurubas worship mediocres and such a character as Soyenka who championed campus secret cultism.

IBB has proved it again that there is no role model in yurubaland, its either they are crooks or cultists or they are committing suicide like awoalowo did.

Yurubas should come to the east of Niger and see abundance of role models to emulate from: great Zik to[b] Achebe to Ojukwu[/b] to Orizu to Ekwueme to Tansi to Cardinal Arinze to Chuka Umunna to .......infact NL cannot contain it.

Ngwakwe: Wole Soyinka activism never contributed any dime on the ascension of GEJ to presidency. The House, Senate and Some members of the Executive Council were responsible for upholding the constitution.

Pius Okadigbo went on protest on behalf of Buhari and got killed and nobody talks about it.

[size=18pt]For your information the tactics employed by hypocritical South Westerners have been burst and exposed. They divide their camp into two and antagonize you with majority while the sane few speak out on the side of the truth, either way they exalt themselves as standing up for the truth.[/size] Today, their hatred for GEJ is astronomically elevated to the highest level and nobody ever remember telling us how they betrayed Nuhu Rubadu for GEJ because they feel his government is not keeping to the status quo ante.

All these wide mouthed South Westerners should stop all these revisionist theory. Is WS a cabinet member or a Legislator to have initiated or invoked constitutional provision that is required to make GEJ the Acting President.

Amaka Igwe is fulfilled in her field of endeavor and has the authority to scold the Prof if he errs.

Katsumoto:

He had best of times when standing up to Northern dictators and siding with Biafra but now that he is speaking against GEJ and his dumb wife, he isn't having the best of times. SMDH
