I thought this old, decrepit bastard was supposed to be smart. If you no like comments wey people dey do, add them to your block list or log the fûck out.

Every month e dey do cry cry baby interviews "obidents wah wah wah 😭😭". "They hurt my fee fee 😭😭" "obi oo wah 😭".

Useless old fool think say because e friend dey on seat, everybody suppose to dey sing e praises.

Things weren't even half as bad as they are now when he criticised Jonathan's government and threw rabid insults at him and his wife. Yet this supposed nobel laureate expects only people like him to have that right and he keeps projecting his fascistic tendencies by labeling others as such.

This old maggot disgusts me to the high heavens. To think he was once erroneously considered a thought leader and conscience of the people.

Of all the pressing issues concerning even the fraudulent Tinubu, and the numerous crises affecting the masses, the only topic he insists on discussing is obidient this, social media that, or Datti this or Obi that. This is provocative.

Very useless bastard.

He was very vocal against Jonathan's govt when dollar was N180/$1 but became very quiet in Buhari's govt & Tinubu's. It seems Soyinka new job is to attack the youths who are venting their displeasure against maladministration.

When will he speak on the insecurities & acute hunger ravaging the land.

Don't mind the abaya. He isn't speaking against Tinubu maladministration

Tinubu is Soyinka friend, he believe in his friend political leadership

And his pretentious dubious nature will be called out. If he pain am make e hug transformer.

When he came out to oppose Jonathan and call him names, he did it under the guise of a supposed declining economy. Buhari entered the seat and proceeded to give Nigerians the worst economy since the Country's inception, yet the old fool remained silent. Tinubu is in the same category and the "smart iq professor" has turned his ire towards the people that doing the same very thing he did to Jonathan.

He should have simply had the balls back then in 2014 so say that his reason for supporting APC was cos of his friend Tinubu and not any rubbish declining economy. By now his glaring desire for an overfed belly would have been known and he would have been tossed in the FFK category of anywhere belle face when he airs his opinion to the public.

All I know is that the barbarians have taken over nairaland and they are quick to insult a successful elderly they lack in their generation

When an elderly refuses to align with the truth and drags issues with those far below him in age and achievements, he will be insulted. Silence sometimes they say is golden.
Prof. Wole Soyinka has penchant for being petty. He involves himself in matters too trivial for him. Social media is a social space where the good, the bad and the ugly are free to air their opinion, he can't do nagga about that! People will always have opinions, sometimes very contrary to his, and they are free to air that in a democratic setting. He himself had insulted people on media space before and nobody crucified him for doing that. He called a sitting President Shina Rambo (In one open letter he wrote to Obasanjo while the later was a sitting President), he referred to a sitting President wife as Shepopotamus, we were all alive and witnessed that, has he forgotten?
If people, young people have become barbarians, it's because old men like him led the way and showed them examples of how to rebel against sitting authorities. If you are still in doubt, ask the erudite professor why they formed pirates in their days in university. Pirate is a symbol of rebellion to constituted authority.
Those who live in glass house don't throw stones.

All these still boils to one thing, government failure in investing in education

Many people online are half educated, cos our learning centres are absolutely dustbin

So when you don't train people well, how then do you expect them to behave accordingly?

That's the beauty of social media. IG you can't stand the heat, quit or better still Japa. SOC media is interactive media. You have the good, the bad and the ugly. These features are exactly why social media is interesting. Social media cannot be for the elites alone. Perhaps this is what you want. Sorry, it can't be so. If social media pains you, delete your account and remain forever in darkness. Bullshit.

This useless gbajue cornfessor again ? Soyinka can we talk about our dwindling economy ? Soyinka let's discuss our out of control inflation ? Soyinka can we discuss the wanton insecurity going on, under this government you have supported? Soyinka, can we discuss the effect of fuel subsidy removal on small businesses across the country today? I can go on and on. But this senile, old piece of shit, is more interested in chasing clout. What an idiot

You've decided not to be informed due to bitterness of Peter obi loosing the election. How did he not condemn Buhari?
