I respect Mr Soyinka a lot but he needs to detach himself from this APC government.

Elections have come and gone and all the court cases have been settled as well.

I've never seen this side of him before

Is it possible you frame your argument without mentioning a political party - any political party? For as long as we anchor ourselves to politicL parties we will believe that others are the same. The question we should ask is

Is it right that people should seperate themselves from family, friends and work colleagues because they don't agree with our political opinion?

Is it right that we demonise other ethnic groups because we believe that they do not support or appreciate our ethnic group?

If these two answers are answered in the negative, then how can we reframe our responses to others who think differently from us?

We have cleared the drunkenness in their brains, but they are still fast asleep. By the time Emilokan JAGABAN hands over to Shettima the Kanuri Nigga in 2031, they will wake up from their post drunk sleep

Yes, elections have come and gone, but people still continue to ethnically profile people. Any small thing, you will find election losers profiling people.





There was a post on Facebook where Burna Boy was driving through the street of Lagos and some people were running after him, obviously asking for money. Some idiots wrote that they were Yorubas already suffering the repercussions of voting for Tinubu.

You're right. Sons of old fools usually know the characteristics of old fools because they were raised by old fools.

This Gbajue Professor and crying about those old enough to be his kids.

Soyinka rest na. Kilode.

I could remember when he called the wife of a sitting President Shepopotammus.

Point One! Nobody takes you serious




Show us evidence that Soyinka called anyone shepopotamus.




This is the reason why Soyinka said he hated granting interviews.

Can you identify a mad man when you see one? If yes, does it mean you were raised by a mad man?

Stop deceiving yourself. You thought you've made sense from the above. But sincerely speaking, you did not. Let's always reason before we speak.

He can't..... His hatred for Peter Obi is very glaring.


Asked Elrufai why he's against Peter Obi and he will tell you that Obi locked him up during his time as a governor.

Ask Soyinka the same question and he will be so confused but because he's loving the attention given to him for spilling hatred.

It's so embarrassing that grey hair doesn't really translate to wisdom.




You are the only one seeing Soyinka's hatred for Peter Obi.




Why would Soyinka even hate Obi?





I don't like calling out tribes, but I don't know why many of you Igbos have this persecution complex, always believing that people hate you.

I do.not see any evidence that he is attached to APC government

Can you share this with us please?
Is this because he said Peter You did not win and he knows it?

Your assertions are not based on facts but sentiment

Very glaring hatred?
Give an example
Many Obedients are very emotional and immature

Must every one love Obi?
If a person does not love Obi he hates him??
Only 6 year old children reason like that

Does that mean you hate Tinubu?

Most people complain when the narrative doesn't suit their personal interest.
His person became the President, you won't see him speak against how election went.
People won't bother themselves about oppression in as much they are not the one one being oppressed.
I don't care who Obi is, nor where Tinubu comes from... rather I am interested in who emerges in an honest and fair way.
This stance I just mentioned is what is difficult to take by most of this so called activists, including Prof. Wole Soyinka. The recent time has shown this about him.

Professor never criticized the malpractices in the last election; here he is asking complainers to table their grievances with proofs? Which proofs? Before which court or judges? The corrupted ones?
His bias has never been so justified until now

Let be truthful to ourselves,Prof is very right , in this part of the world , social media has lost so much value that immorality , lies, deceit, crimes , Adultery , hatred and greed has taken over the internet more than positivity impact it has made in this country.
