PointB: I didn't know the erudite prof, and Nobel Laureate in English Literature needs an interpreter to help him communicate in English. One of the basic tenets of public speaking is to know the audience, and communicate to them at their level. If Soyinka doesn't understand this simple trick then in which way is he better than Patrick obahiagbon whose people deemed not fit enough to represent them at that national assembly because of his unreasonable verbosity?

In anycase, let the twist and turns continue, intelligent Nigerians have heard enough of his rant to know that the Prof stoop low from his usually high pedestal to engage in mudslinging, not with the Presidency, but with the President wife's and the dwellers of the 'Delta swamp' . That is the perception that will last a very long time.

Now let's stand arms akimbo and hear which rants he chooses to address the shot from Abacha's daughter. Should be fun!
Soyinka is now the latest clown in the market square!

KwoiZabo: Soyinka is already rolling in the mud and no face lift can help him this period. Where was he when Tinubu made his daughter Iyaloja or when he clearly deposed Senator Mamora and put his wife? As usual his microphone doesn't work on issues like that. Bigots

Ile-Ife:


The Prof's words were clear and direct. A mere domestic appendage of POWER

Ile-Ife:



The Prof's words were clear and direct. A mere domestic appendage of POWER should not be going around the country holding state capitals hostage. No one is twisting and turning anything.

And you expect him to respond to a twitter rant of an ex dictator's daughter who is probably a domestic appendage to some paedophile, literally. Seriously?.........apart from NLs who gives a damn about what she says.

Ile-Ife:
A lot of people have been making funny comments about Wole Soyinka's objection to an irritating trend he noticed about the presidebcy. This is to help everyone that did not watch the short clip or those that hear but can not comprehend.

Wole soyinka said and i quote "When things get to a stage where an unelected person, a mere domestic appendage of power can seize control of a place for eleven days and as a result of her presence, the Executive governor of that state is told by a police man - You can't pass here because the queen is there"

Let it be clear to everyone, Madame Patience Faka Jonathan is a mere domestic appendage of power to this administration and no man born of a woman can change that. What office does she occupy and who voted her there. Imagine Michelle Obama and her security deatails barricading the streets of New york because she and her friends are having a party or whatever gathering, and they do this for 11 good days stopping Bloomberg from gaining access to certain areas of the city. Haba?

If the President really wants to deal with Governor Amaechi, he has all the state resources at his disposal, he should go ahead and stop pretending to be democratic and end the unnecessary embarrassment to the Office of the President. Its no taboo not to be democratic, in fact being undemocratic works better in developing countries and things get done ASAP.

torkaka:

with your needle size brain you couldn't comprehend what Soyinka said and so you decide to reduce it to an issue between the prof and the hippo.

in black and white what Soyinka is saying is simple; "cage the unelected grammatical bomber and bar her from interfering with elected authorities" I don't remember Nigerians voting for an occupant to the office of the first lady!!

PointB:

Cage the hippo or mammy wata, the exotic produce from the 'delta swamp'? Who was referred to as hippo? Your wife or mum?

torkaka:

not my wife nor my mum but the character who refuses to recognise the significance of the office placed on her husband preferring to go about acting without decorum!! they say when in Rome act like the Romans alas ours is a hippo who refuses to act like the Romans while in Rome but instead goes about displaying her barbaric heritage!!

like someone once said, "there's no making up this pig to pass as a cutie puppy"

PointB:

All the same, sane people take exception to the professor calling people names, because it doesn't solve any problem. Sane people!

torkaka:

surely you are familiar with the term "figurative language". I ask because I assume you are intelligent!!

Ngwakwe: You don't need to interpret or explain anything to anybody for any reason if the Prof fails to communicate let him be speaking and fooling himself as he takes pleasure in confusing himself with Colonial Language.

Speaking grammar should be the least of things that attract glory or respect to a man. We are looking for people who will solve life puzzles through science, technology, social re-engineering, educational / knowledge transfer and innovations.

bernfame: God bless you @poster! The problem was and still is 'The English Language'. I think the Nigerian people should cultivate the habit of reading or listening comprehensively before making comments. English may be our lingua franca but about 80% of Nigerians do not speak/understand good English.
