Liar, continue fooling yourself with emilokan propaganda lies & deceit

Soyinka is an elder, so learn to fight your own battles.
Stop getting bent out of shape because he did not support your principal - he did not support mine either

Grow a spine, and learn to chart your own course in life, instead of waiting on one of Nigeria's esteemed elders to take to the streets on your behalf. Show the world where your own talents and convictions lie.

DaddyJapan:


The emboldened statement in your post shows you know very little about the UK's HE sector.
I will say no more for now.

Is Leeds in the UK Russell Group, the equivalent of US Ivy league?

Is Leeds a top 10 UK University in any ranking from 1945 to date?

I am in the UK since 2014. How long have you been here and what University have you attended and what grades have you graduated with? Can you and I publicly post our credentials?

...tell your emilokan CORNfessor to keep his coward mouth shut when those fighting against the structures of criminality that he is representing take their destiny & future into their own hands

...He should concentrate filling his pockets with corn & stop dishing out worthless grammers to awwww & wow his ronu gullible miscreants

..the CORNfool is a fraud

Oghighirhighi:
Soyinka is free to abuse Buhari, but to claim that the Internet is being infiltrated by some unwanted characters, I'll say that he is a culprit here as he used the social media to call Patient Jonathan Shepopotamus and Jonathan, nebuchadnezer amongst other terrible abuses. But suddenly the old fool wants decency to reign because he is at the receiving end.

Dont mind the fraudulent CORNfooool

Why didn't you say it when he was president?

Coward.

Buhari’s wasn’t just an idiotic president, he was a foolish one too.

Typical coward. Now baba don comot there, na in you remember to call am idiot.

Abeg go Siddon one place. Buhari is one hundred percent better than a renowned cultist!

Antoeni:
Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has said that former President Muhammadu Buhari was an “idiot” for banning Twitter in Nigeria.

Soyinka said this in an interview with Arise News Television at the CANEX Live Theatre closing ceremony of the 3rd Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) 2023, convened in Cairo, Egypt by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), in collaboration with the African Union and African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

He said while the internet and social media space had been infested with foul communications and languages by people of “lower intelligence, integrity and sense of concern of involvement, regulation of social media should be constructive, methodical and structured”.

According to Soyinka, Nigeria and Africa, in general, may have to totally reverse their educational systems to take in what he described as a new monster.

He stressed that the internet and social media are a valuable contribution to the entire human enterprise.

Soyinka said, “I see everything of value being debased; values which I grew up with as a child and that includes language, use of appropriate language.

“When I see a space being infested, a communication space infested by the people of lower intelligence, integrity, sense of concern of involvement, then existed in the print media; we should also remember that this internet, there is nothing novel all about it, it is an enhancement of something we have always been doing before.

“It is an enhancement of the print medium and there is a more critical approach to the print medium - the editor sits down, even letters to the editor particularly go through full vetting processes.

“But now you can have any kind of pig from the gutter who simply because he’s got a paw and therefore can put that paw in the dirt, in filth and then imprint it on the nearest space, that is the internet has become.

“Having known better from childhood, all the way through my development, it is an abysmal stage of one’s compelled existence to have to confront things like that.”

According to the literary icon, “something drastic has to be done about it”.

“The publishing enterprise has a huge role to play in this. Maybe we even have to organize weeklong, monthlong seminars across the African continent so that let this garbage come from elsewhere. Why should it be coming from my own society? A society that has produced engineers and doctors who are valued all over the world.”

Soyinka said it riles him to see “some garbage simply because they have access” foul up the society.

He added that he hopes he “will never meet any of them responsible in a dark alley,” because they will find out he can be young.

When asked if he strongly believes in regulation of the internet, he said, “Theoretically, if you are going to regulate, who regulates it? How does he go about it? Does regulation begin from education – new education? Do we include teaching from the level of primary schools because even children now speak a language which I don’t understand - internet language? Watch them at work there, I’m like an illiterate and I will never compete with that.

“So, maybe we will have to totally revise our educational system to take in this new monster which, however, is a valuable contribution to the entire human enterprise.

“So, while we talk about regulation, I want us to be very careful there. I don’t want some dictator like this last one (immediate former President Muhammadu Buhari who banned Twitter) attempted to do; who woke up and said I’m banning Facebook (Twitter), Idiot!

“You just wake up and say you are banning Facebook, that is nonsense! Do something constructive, methodical, structured about it, including making the criminals understand that they deserve to be somewhere else.

Post your credentials let us peruse, if you truly have earned the proper education that you claim to possess.
Any educated person like you who think Buhari should not be captured like a baboon and locked up for wrecking the country, is the biggest buffoon with a waste of education.

Soyinka is a hypocrite and coward but Buhari is a blood thirsty criminal with an empty head who foisted himself on the people just to wreck the country. Why should he go scot-free?

TooNoisy:
This man speaks the truth 100% of the time.

You are absolutely right!

Is it the same 'ceremonial document' that can be easily obtained from 'third party vendors' in one's sleep that you're bragging with? 😁

Y'all inconsistent as hell

If buhari is an idiot according to Wole Soyinka,is it wrong to say that his Yoruba people that supported the “Idiot” twice are bigger idiots?

I just see that Soyinka hates non Yoruba leaders,the same way he was insulting Jonathan and his family now he has moved on to buhari,but will never say anything about his tribeman who is currently wrecking the Country as we speak


Typical Yoruba man

Why is this Thread not on FrontPage yet?🤔🤔

And where is Yarimo, Helinuis Boy, Afamed, LeodeCraze,

The Prof inadvertently finds his voice again.

Go and operate on a patient without the right certificate then!

Aboki99:
Wole Soyinka is an operated idiot who gets his head puffed up because of a Prize that everyone knows is highly politicised. Wole's thinks and believes that intelligence begins and ends with rote-memorising a bunch of verbose vocabularies to bamboozle the semi-educated and morons.
The University of Leeds he attended in the UK is a non-elite University. If Wole was the smart Scholar he thinks of himself, he wouldn't have settled for Leeds, idiotic one-eyed old man living in a village of the blind.

Yes, because my great grand parents in Kanem Borno knew how to read and write over 100 years b4 the white man came and bring ABCD to you people at the coastal area. Then your great grant parents were going about in the bush stark unclad. The Yoruba historian Toyin Falola knows and confirms this fact!

Go and read history, young man/woman!
