Lets Just Admit The Truth About Wole Soyinka by Ikengawo: 4:56pm On Jul 31, 2013 |
Wole Soyinka is not an intellectual for one. Someone needs to just admit this and move on. He doesn't show the traits of someone with an above average intelligence. He's just against any and everything moving and like a person of average intelligence will delve into petty insult matches. He has no ideas, no solutions, and no vision like people of high intelligence, he just attacks without resolve. In a functioning country such a person would be the 'average' citizen, but in a land where the low IQ is the loudest, Soyinka is seen as some type of intellectual or sage. People that are ready to say he's an intellectual sage can not name any of his works, have seldom read any of them, and when you have, as I have, you have a difficult time admitting that it was average par work because you're made to believe this guy is a 'brain' in the nation. Typical to tribal fashion though, the 'corruption' and 'mismanagement' he's 'against' wasn't a big deal when he worked for the most openly corrupt, middle class eliminating opposition killing election botching dictator nigeria has ever had, Babangida. Typical of a man without vision he has been caught being for and against the exact same things at the exact same time not because of it's moral or intellectalcandor but because of a fixation on what average to low intelligence people fix on: person. When GEJ and Okonjo Iweala was ready to take away the fuel subsidy, Soyinka was stiffly against it. When Ribadu wrote a report announcing what Okonjo Iweala had announced almost a year before him; that there's corruption in the subsidy sector, Soyinka was asking for heads to roll and wondering why the evil GEJ wasn't doing anything about it. So what is the end result of years of passionate opposition to GEJ? Against his corruption, and mismanagement, what happens when Soyinka has a chance to get off the streets and meet GEJ face to face? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brkb9DaQI7Y (above: opportunity for self promotion) |

Interesting how Ibos are queuing up to insult Wole Soyinka because of GEJ and his moronic wife. Same Ibos who were nowhere to be found when Wole stood with Niger-Deltans on Resource control. They were MIA when same Wole was fighting to free GEJ from his kpata and bra washing duties. AGIP-people, ready to be house-boys of Ijaws for a few crumbs.. 4 Likes |

Wole is not an intellectual you are the intellectual Yet you havent passed WAEC while Wole is a professor Yet no one knows you while Wole is a globally acclaimed Playwright and Nobel laureate He is just against anything moving, yet he was against the Cabal who didnt want Retardeen to rule while you were sitting on the fence begging for crumbs I dont expect Soyinka to be an intellectual to you. Just like I dont expect illiterates to understand a professor of Quantum Physics 10 Likes |

This is one of the reason why parents need to train their children so that their mouth will not become a liability to them. Wole Soyinka is one of the best we have today. His status today is through selfless service to humanity. If there is any one from your family that can match the status of WS give us his name and let us recognize him for his achievement. 2 Likes |

Seriously, I have not seen any derogatory word that can bring Wole Soyinka down or de-esteem him. Whoever wants to insult him should go ahead. That white hair there stands for iconic intelligence and nothing can debunk that. |

Same Ibos who were nowhere to be found when Wole stood with Niger-Deltans on Resource control.It seems technically drawing out Igbos to start making comments on Nairaland has become a new concept. There is hardly any thread an Igbo-hater will not make mention of Igbo even if the thread is about Tom chasing Jerry. This is serios! |

Consider this. Soyinka has been going on and on about mismanagement in Nigeria To shut him up, IBB, the most corrupt anti-democratic, and murderous dictator in Nigerian history, makes him FRSC to monitor...don't laugh..roads. He, because a career-politician, agrees. Can you tell me he condition of roads in Nigeria during babangida, and the condition after? He's shot to make a difference was given to him by the man that was robbing Nigeria blind. He accepted, he failed, he went back on the street and started protesting Patience Jonathan while his former boss ANNULLED THE ONLY FAIR AND FREE ELECTION nigeria has ever seen and slaughtered a slew of journalists. Yet Soyinka had the heart to speak against Patience Jonathan. You make him the commissioner of roads, roads reach the peak of their dilapidation You put him in a university he introduces a campus cult You leave him in charge of combating westernization and colo-mentality, he moves to California. Fraud. |

When Achebe was given an award by the Federal Government, he rejected it. Over and over and over. When asked to participate in partisan nigerian politics he refused, reiterating that he's a writer |

Stop talking with your mouth so full of GEJ's breastmilk. Even if Kogi is of "average intelligence" - that would still be a thousand times greater than your parent's, and infinitely greater than the near zero intelligence that calls your upstairs home.
