Errrrm, excuse me, but what has that got to do with the subject matter

Ok, let me guess, if I don't "hate" Yorubas and everything about them then I can't be an Igbo man... I suppose that's what you are saying, no?

All hail Professor Wole Soyinka. He's taking African literature to another level.

And to think Patience Jonathan called him a mad prof!. Imagine! I'm waiting and yet to see her made a professor, better still, get acknowledged by scholars. Some people will say, "who dash monkey banana?".

Ok. He won a Nobel laureate because he can string a few English words together.

For the love of Christ, can someone tell me what is important about Wole Soyinka?

How has this man contributed to humanity? None!!!

One good thing about this ('oyinbo') people is that they recognise and appreciate quality and talent not minding the tribe or nationality of the person. Once you have something to offer, they give you their support.

It's a lesson to all those who try to bring others down and refuse to acknowledge and appreciate their talents just because they are from a different tribe.

you have spoke my mind

The man's mastery of the English language is phenomenal! He was the one that brought the phrase "a powerful cabal" to Nigeria when talking about the annulment of the June 12 election in 1993. Nigerians bow when they hear am!

Those who published the article even apologised to him stating they had misquoted him. The man condemned the genocide of the Igbos in the 60's.

Try and englighten yourself so you don't sound ignorant next time. The news site that carried the news has already apologized to him because it wasn't true.

So he lost the respect of Igbos (I don't believe you speak for a ll Igbos by the way) because a news site lied against him That says more about you than him
