Dee60: It has always been difficult to interpret
Soyinka. Well, Nigerians are always asking
leaders to stand up for the truth, and when
they see a few standing up, they lash at
them! I will never support abuses, I am just
praying that Nigeria would be better after all
these!
I was once on a 50 minute flight that ended
up taking 150 minutes because of so called
'VIP' movement. There was rain and
thundestorm all over that day, but the 'VIP'
would not care. Today, Lagosians have learnt
to stay at home and not venture to go out to
do business whenever Dame Patience visits
Lagos! Fashola once asked Dame to apologize
to Lagosians for the horror that Lagosians
faced when she came to say hello to her
friends in Lagos. Rather than apologize, they
barked at Fashola for daring to speak to 'her
her excellency', 'her eminence'!
Hippo is a metaphor indeed for backward
thinking and 'fossil' behaviour. Nigeria is a
nation not an empire. Empires were ruled by
people with hippo behavour, but in a nation
we need civility in leadership. We must
change. Our leaders must change. This is
2013. That you are the wife of an elected
president does not make you an empress! let
us all learn civility, and indeed we should not
abuse or beat anyone.
Bipi went to Abuja to say he is 'speaker'. Is
that not a hippo behavoiur? Chanting war and
occultic songs in the house, is that not a
hippo behaviour? Carving a fake mace, and
using it to hold illegal house session, all with
the backing of 'Abuja', is that not a hippo
behaviour? Could the 'hippo' have acted in
that manner without the support and backing
of the 'sheppo'?

striker9: now this is what I call INTELLIGENCE!,spot on bro

awodman:
Seems Soyinka now has a penchant for uncouth languages...even if you want to correct someone and in doing that you lace insults on the person naturally the person will become infuriated and would never listen to whatever you have to say...

Our dear soyinka there is something called COMMON SENSE...seek it and apply it or risk further insults from people who on a normal day would not dare exchanging words with you..

slap1: LOL at Shepopotamus! Creative, I must say!

For those who think it's an insult, it's actually called a metaphor. The First Lady has carried herself, recently, in the manner of a hippo: bullish, uncordinated, destructive and over-zealous! So it's not actually a name-calling. If you recall during the days of Obasanjo's library, when Dangote, Adenuga and others were literally 'forced' to donate towards the library project (Adenuga was 'punished' for donating below the amount OBJ told him to donate), Soyinka termed the donation process 'executive extortion'. It's metaphor, people!

Last week, Jose Mourinho said his Chelsea players trained like animals. . .do you consider that an insult? NO!

PointB: Perhaps this explains why Soyinka has been married and divorced thrice - he abused his wives, in every way!

WildChild00:

During the Military regime of Late General Sanni Abacha, where were you people? Rather U ran out of the country on exile to form Nadeco.. Y u nor wait, make u see ur blood?

ShyM-X:


Who the hell is that inconsequential phaggot, mate? I know a lot of African strong men like: Gaddafi, the last king of Scotland a la Idi Amin, Mobutu Sese Seko, Mubarak, Gamal Abdel Nasser etc.. Who the hell is that? The mofos' name isn't even on google.

We're bravehearts - we're never scared!

WildChild00:

But, be that as it may be, it is still on record till dat, that you people ran out of the country on exile, speaking frm an unknown country, even with an un-licensed radio station, lemme ask you, one more time, during Military regime of the late Abacha can Mr. wole Soyinka use such language as an advise to Mrs Abacha? The simple answer is absolutely no no no, or Mustapha and co will just arrange him.

ShyM-X:


Listen mate, I don't know all the tongue twisting names you start spamming my PC screen with. If these people were that strong, I bet their names would be on the list of African strong men. Heck, Charles Taylor from Liberia is on the list.

I reiterate: who are the inconsequential people? Prof. Soyinka is definitely not scared of no man and he has always been out there in the trenches. If you ever meet a scared Ijebu man - then he must be a fake and a fraud - we're never scared.

ShyM-X:


So you've accepted that your pops is a phaggot, no?

Then you must have been birthed by artificial insemination, I guess.

Perhaps, that's why you're ret.arded and you type in caps like a dyslexic patient.

Babzilla:

LIKE U'VE ACCEPTED THAT URE HIS B!!!TCH NO?
NOW TRYNA MAN UP WITH THE TRASH TALKING
CANT FOOL ME THOUGH
COS AT THE END OF THE DAY
U'D BE BACK THERE ASSUMING THE POSITION

OR HOLDING UR ANKLES LIKE A GOOD B!!!TCH SHOULD

OH AND ShyM-X (MORE LIKE SH!+MEX) SOUNDS LIKE THE NAME A DYSLEXIC PATIENT WOULD ADOPT

gidson12: this is the kind of rubbish show of shame chinua achebe would never soil himself with, he leads by action, when he was not in support of the government, he rejected the state recognition and award.....

shame on wiole soyinka

anago12: to those suffering from the hippotami virus and the shepoptamus syndrome keep bashing a man you can't equal even if you reincarnate ten times. we won't stop bashing the presidency cause he and his hang-ons and sidekicks open the insulting spree, firstly our elders were rascals later we were called children of anger and other names. so when we hurl ret.ardeen, hippotami, shepopotamus and manatees and other adjectives at them the world should know they started the war and as yorubas we can never defeated in the mouth war. awa ni omo ti ko ki lo ile lo gba esi. to all you manatees and mami wati we are ready to intellectually place you all in the path of reasoning. and least I forget madam shepopotati should learn to be a lady before becoming a first lady.

kingbang: The ranting mad Local Professor at it again. Jobless person that exchanges words with women. Phaggotass f00l!
