The title of the book is a grammatical howler, which re-invited attention to Melaye’s dodgy educational qualifications. Instead of Antidotes to Corruption, Melaye chose Antidotes for Corruption for his 600-page book.

Soyinka never founded an oath-swearing group, rather a group of young individuals with the aim of confronting colonialism & elitists mentality. It was not after 20 years before the Pirates was hijacked & divided into various groups.

Of course Yoruba people will always defend their son but one fact is clear that all campus cult today are offshoots or were inspired by the Pirates which Wole Soyinka promoted
keep playing dvmb in your quest to demonize Soyinka. it's either your IQ is ad low as room temperature or you ate just playing dvmb.

Soyinka starter a confraternity to stand up to the excesses of the authorities but it was hijacked over a decade after he left the institution by blood thirsty people. how's that his fault?



let me break it down for you like I do for the other "not so intelligent Igbos"

if as a researcher I discover a new power source that is cost effective and very efficient for rapid industrialisation but someone else hijacks it and uses it to power a destructive weapon that kills thousands of people have I done anything wrong?

your hate is the only reason you've decided to attack the noble laureate. there is still no one as successful as this man in his field in the country today

Be careful how you address your betters. If the prof is a "cotton wool head," at least it's his real hair. The ugly horse-hair on your head in your profile pic tells me your brain is a bed of straw; you're a run-of-the-mill id.iot.

What re u saying? Do you know how many cults existed in Nigeria before the Pirates? Cos they were not known institutions doesn't mean they dont exist and it cuts across all tribes.
Before u start an argument, please broaen your knowledge about the word "confraternity" means. And mind you, Wole was in an association an not cult.
He doesn't know that fraternities and sororities are part of university culture. Phi Beta Kappa, Psi Alpha Epsilon

Trust me, Chinua Achebe died while trying to get Soyinka's kinda soft curly hair.

In a nutshell, I was trying to say You are a Wool (uncouth) .

Igbos are fools tongue tongue

Imagine them begging Soyinka to posthumously nominate Achebe to for nobel prize, when the egg head refused they resulted to hate and blackmail. Why am I not surprised!

Self-deception has taken the better part of him. I can see through his pretense which has been getting more pronounced lately. Meanwhile, I've made it known to him that he has fallen short of standards by a long mile. I found it funny that he pretended for a long time before coming out of his shell.

when it come to activism in nigeria, yorubas have been in the fore-front right from pre-independent period. the most critics of military regime in the country were yoruba, even when obasanjo was military head of state.(he will not forget tai solarin and fela kuti). the democracy and freedom of speech which these chest beaters/ipob are now enjoying was fought for by yoruba people include this soyinka. where were igbo leaders and biafran agitators during abacha era.

I am well aware of that but what I am saying is that I have observed that these "activists" only fight causes that involve their enemies. They never condemn those commited by their friend like Tinubu et al. Maybe they fought the military and the other Governments just because they were not on the same interest page with them.

The greatest indicator of an infantile Dundee is when you see someone cancelling write ups and crying trash nonsense or nonsense trash. Such persons are depressingly stupid and mechanical. Nothing but empty boors, bumpkins from one rat hole or cramped up hovel. Snivelling idiots.

Nigeria always celebrates its disgusting reprobates and Soyinka is one of such reprobates whose primary legacy is the introduction of blood oaths a day cultist into our tertiary institutions yet today he is being celebrated just like reprobate Dino and friends
All if you keep blaming him for imitating cultism. During his own time, they didn't take a single life or molest innocent students, but to oppose oppression from lecturers. So keep killing yourself and be blaming him.
