An Army General was asked: "Can u
forgive a terrorist?" He replied: "God
forgives. Our task is to arrange their
meeting.

Then I may be forced to say patience jonathan also graduated with a first class. Taarh! Liar, this man nobel laureate needs to be digged, he never graduated with a second class upper but a third class.

question for prof;
If you did not make a third class from UI, what class of degree did you make?
Can you provide evidence to back your claim that you didn't make a third class?
I read somewhere else that Prof did not complete his programme in the University College Ibadan (Now UI). That is a plausible excuse.
Nota Bene
Your class of degree does not diminish my admiration for your literary works.

la_unique: And so what? Prof let me bring primary school algebra for you and see how well you will do with it. Intelligence is not all about speaking big grammar, it's an all-round thing

hey......avnt u heard of the sayin ''jack of all trade is master of non''? Get busy wit ur pry sch algebra and let d Prof kip perfectin wot he does.

And so what

RedBenson: Really, nairaland is getting tedious by the day. I mean, how does this change the price of kerosine or even garri in d mrkt? mtchew

Has anything ever changed the price of garri or kerosene positively in this country?

Oh really? I thot he graduated with a First Class?

Not that it adds anything to him, but people have used that 'WS graduated with a 3rd class' line to justify laziness, failure and pursuing less than excellence.

Slaak:

ShyM-X:
The Nigerian press/media needs to leave this man alone and stop asking him stupid questions. Don't they have any other news to report in that country other than continue to disturb an old legendary man? If they don't have news, they should create one and leave the man alone.

Stop putting him out there for attacks by riffraff, thugs, illiterates, and losers!!

Blame the Niaraland MODs\bigots for always bringing up any crap that has to do with Wole to NL and front page

la_unique: . Highly cerebral people don't stick to a singular area of interest, they study wide.

You are not making any sense at all.

Lazy ones should stop saying Prof. Soyinka made a 3rd class.

arabanibaba: sholay dont mind all this awon omo ti ko ni eko, ti won ni aso agba loriko even if he has third class, he has make a good mark in nigerian

Ndi ofe manu: your english is a clear sign u won't make any mark in nigeria!
Am sure u r a graduate,afta u n som lk u wen b fellow graduates go de laff patience

I won't believe until I am able to see the scan certificate

sholay2011:
Bro, your post reeks of low IQ. No insult intended but ur 'intelligence' needs questioning.

Bros, you can't insult someone and then say no insult intended it's like shooting someone and saying 'no hard feelings".
It doesn't work that way

the guy that design neco and jamb portal who is now a millioniare graduated with a pass, it doesnt matter wer u falls into, what matter most now is ur true selfworth, ur talent what is embedded in you.

One thing i will say here is. DAMN! some of you have got Issues. LOL. A Guy mentioned something about algebra or so. The thing is whether he has a 3rd class or second, it doesn't really matter in this part of the world. He is simply saying it because he has attained a lot in life because he is smart enough to explore is imagination and put it into perspective, there are people with first class but didn't even make the headlines.

I think, sometimes y'all just need to chill and not debate on what will only make you believe these people didn't even know what it feels like to eat crumbs. One person can influence a nation, and its not necessary that everyone accept his/her notion, but people who don't just type what comes to their mind will understand this better. as hard as the nation is he pulled through, stop being a hater and just be happy whenever he makes the headline.

Stop complaining about someone who rose from nothing to something, change your situation, explore your imagination, put it into perpective.

For me, i am proud of him because he is one of the Nigerians that still makes me look towards a brighter future and still believe in a better tomorrow.

Wole Soyinka, is a sage of Intellectual Genius.;d

rozayx5: Soyinka is dragging his name in the mud, he should just stick to what he knows best (being a pirate)

Fantastic comment from a fantastic nairalander. Mr. Soyinka has lost every respect I have for him. Instead of attacking issues like a literate mind, he took side and ended up spuwing things that calls his reputation into question.

OBJ went Senile and Wole has followed him.

frond: I won't believe until I am able to see the scan certificate

But you believed it when it was rumoured he graduated with third class?

No. He never had ur respect if he lost it simply becos of some silly mundane issue... Intellectuals are humans too. And are actually more interesting when they are wrong than right
