Wole Soyinka Is Better Off As A 'Guinea Fowl' Hunter - Obasanjo by jamesbawa(m): 9:27pm On Dec 13, 2014 |
Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo in his autobiography had opened a can of worms on many major stakeholders in the country. One part of the book, My Watch shines light on the nation’s only Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, whom the elder statesman described as “a self- serving critic” who always loved to take the lead on all matters. He wrote: “For Wole, no one can be good, nor can anything be spot-on politically except that which emanates from him or is ordained by him, His friends and loved ones will always be right and correct no matter what they do or fail to do.” Obasanjo described Soyinka as “a misfit as a political analyst, commentator or critic,” adding that it was good that Mr. Soyinka did not go into politics. “He is surely a better wine connoisseur and a more successful “aparo” (guinea fowl) hunter than a political critic, not to talk of what he would do as a politician,” Mr. Obasanjo said. “I take him seriously on almost all issues except on the political particularly Nigerian politics.” He however thinks the Nobel Laurate has calmed down recently after he turned 80. Obasanjo finally wrote: “If I go before him, I will bid him welcome when he arrives at the great beyond. I hope he would do the same if he succeeds in getting there before me and we find ourselves on the same side of the divide.” “For Wole, no one can be good, nor can anything be spot-on politically except that which emanates from him or is ordained by him, His friends and loved ones will always be right and correct no matter what they do or fail to do.”http://www.lailasblog.com/2014/12/wole-soyinka-is-better-guinea-fowl.html#sthash.VxsK0DIV.dpuf 17 Likes 1 Share |

Senility personified. The inspiration to write that book must have come from smoking mouldy Ijebu garri. Guess he wanted to pull off a "there was a country" but he has only ended up with poorly constructed rendition of market women mudslinging. 38 Likes 3 Shares |

#Dead This is one of the funniest thing have read in a long time... But Obasanjo a pedophitic old man, lashing at people is a curious case of a kettle calling a pot black I think Obasanjo should be taken to Old people's home because he's arrogantly displaying symptoms of old Age.. Obasanjo has no right, to even insult anyone, in Nigeria cuz he has nothing good to his credentials!!! His book should be seized, and then he should be taken Old Folks Home, we're he should live the remaining part of his life reflecting, rather than spewing rubbish everywhere and anywhere... 13 Likes 1 Share |
