What Exactly Has Happened To Prof. Soyinka? If I Didn't Watch This Report On Channels Tv, I'd Think It's Made Up By The Media. You Made A Promise, Not Just Before Nigerians, But The Entire World. What's Wrong In Reminding You Of An Earlier Promise? I Know You Campaigned For Buhari Who's Cancelled All Hi Promises To Nigerians, But One Would've Expected That A Professor Of Your Standing Would Be Different. Disappointing!! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Responding to some infantile people here is a waste of precious time. Any perspicuous mind here will know that the reason why many folks are attacking Soyinka is not because of the Green Card issue! Far from it! Professor Wole Soyinka is the greatest Nigerian academic-living or dead. PERIOD. Many Soyinka haters are still reeling from his severe criticism of the GEJ regime! Interestingly, most of these people are from the region that are pained that Soyinka won the most prestigious Nobel price, which Prof Achebe could not! That is the REAL cause of their hateful comments. 12 Likes |

kenonze: He isn't troubled like most people think. On the contrary he is sick of seeing blogs post insults and Nigerians troll him on an issue that wouldn't affect their well-being or bring an end to the recession. Tbh, I am with him on this one but then again the only reason he keeps addressing this issue is because the press and Nigerians wouldn't let him be. 8 Likes 1 Share |

OZAOEKPE:I now have every reason to believe something is fundamentally wrong with you Ozaoekpe. When I read people's attack on you because of your comment on a previous tread today it didn't occur to me that your case is that critical. You making such a rude comment about an international respected scholar because he's not from your tribe is an unpardon able error. I hereby invite the moderators to review this Ozaoekpe's membership of nairaland. 6 Likes |

[quote author=rapistomenka post=51662304]None of my generations will stoop to the unenviable distinction of a Wole Soyinka, a man who easily disavows on pecuniary promptings. The Kongi Harvester has proven archetypally that his chameleonic tendencies is generational. It is a Mendelian factor! Anyway, Soyinka is living up to his afonja roots: say one thing today and do another tomorrow. OKORO sighted! 2 Likes |

Reading comments from the 1st page you will realize why Soyinka is not happy with Nigerians. And we know the tribe most of these people come from. Since no one in their tribe has ever won a noble laureate before, they will have headache over Soyinka issue till they die. Now to all of your abusing Soyinka, mention your Papa name and let's compare his achievement to that of Soyinka. Or una papa no get name? Then if you are ashamed to mention your Papa name then keep shut and let prof be. 5 Likes |

Abeg. Leave the Professor alone. He has every right to do whatever he wants with the Green Card. Many people who are complaining are doing so because they are simply jealous of the man and his achievements. A lot of people, who are complaining about Soyinka, if they have Soyinka's opportunities they would have even become American citizens. He is still a Nigerian and you are still complaining!! Haba!! 2 Likes |

Nairaland is the internet house of all "Millipedes of internet", "Discontented blabbers"and "Unpatriotic douchbags" Its a shame and saddening too, on how Grown-ups (Literates) spew and spit rubbish just in the name of being heard or having an opinion.

Pedagogue:I am "secretly" loving it. Maybe Uncle Wole will have a rethink, and regret his actions that led to his incarceration in the late 60s. Allying with them is an exercise in futility. 1 Like 1 Share |
