I repeat before you insult Soyinka on this issue, mention your Papa name and let's compare their achievements. But if you're too ashamed to mention your Papa name, then respect yourself and shut up

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.

This trait is both ancestral as it it is legendary.


Percuniary wat??I want to belive that u dont truly know this man...U surely dont know this man's pedigree ,initially people didn't believe wen he said he would tear- up his green card,they said he wouldn't do such a thing nd that he was just bragging. Having fulfilled his promise, we re on a different level from: 'he can't do it to 'to "wat is wrong with this man? ,this man is senile,he talks too much".


How can one actually satisfy Nigerians?

We knew you as grammarian, no one is asking you how you got your green card. Public figure like you, don't say what they can't do , your statement as a noble professor to tear your green card if Donald Trump announced as American president is a disgraced to your profession, personalty and Nigeria as your country. I wonder how you called it a personal issue, do you remember how many people told you "Soyinka is joking with jail term if he dare do so" , what you called a personal issue. On the issue of your organization, Nigeria will still be nigeria if you do so, many nigerians don't even know you have such organization, so if you move it out of nigeria , is your cup of tea

Soyinka is surprised at the thoughtless ignorance and slavish mentality of his countrymen. When he fought against Abacha and other black dictators he was a hero. The minute he questions 'oyinbo', Nigerians go ballistic because they are mentally enslaved to white people, whom they consider superior beings beyond reproach. THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. Sorry Prof. ...Now you know your people. They're worthless. Save the rest of your years and go on holidays or something.

i don't know if it is just sheer idleness that is causing all this or what can i call it. Prof already said its non of your fucking business if he tears his green card or not mayb if the green card were urs u would have burnt it. The level of reasoning of our youth this days is quite appalling, instead of of making a poke at someone that has reached the pinnacle of his career u can just think about urs . If it were easy to get a nobel price then ask yourself why you don' have one yet.

Actually, Trump's election is likely to have an impact on YOU, you thoughtless buffoon. Trump is a man who has openly asked why he cannot use nuclear weapons. He has refused to rule out launching nuclear weapons against ISIS, and even in Europe etc. Go on Youtube and watch his interviews. If he starts a nuclear holocaust, being the impulsive, unstable, thoughtless, vindictive, racist madman he is, do you think you will escape the consequences? If he starts trade wars with China, India etc, leaves NATO, and allows Saudi Arabia and South Korea to develop nuclear weapons like he promised, do you think YOU will escape the effects of such chaos and nuclear proliferation? The US is not Gambia. What happens there is HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US. That country holds the world's largest nuclear arsenal. Trump, as US president, now has direct authority over 7,000 nuclear weapons. Every right thinking person on earth should be VERY CONCERNED by that.

Guy, you should know better that Trump cannot unilaterally launch nuclear missiles. There is a reason launching them requires multiple codes held by various officials.

A lot of kids re on this forum,and I am not so surprised with their comments,probably a lot of them were not yet born wen he was in the trenches fighting successive oppressive regimes in this country.Age is definitely taking its toll on him bt he is stil as "rascally" as ever.He fights for wat he believes in and it was to the dismay of many wen he opposed the civil war even as a yoruba man,a "treasonable " charge on which he would later be arrested.The guy is a world's citizen that every nation would want to ve,Perspicuously he is an asset.

Guy, this is not a matter of argument. The US President has launch codes; but his codes are not enough to launch any missiles. Other officials have to provide their own codes; meaning they have to agree with the US President. The US President cannot just wake up in the middle of the night and start launching missiles while sipping on a glass of margarita.

Please, let us apologize to Prof. Wole SOYINKA o.
We have poke-nosed and provoked him over his personal decision.
I never blogged about it.
So, I am not one of the millipedes of the internet.
They know themselves.
I am not one of them.

Lest we forget, Prof. Wole SOYINKA is our one and only Nobel laureate until another Nigerian can achieve his great literary feat.

Please, Sir, accept my apology.
