Soyinka Is An Aparo Hunter-obasanjo by Nobody: 11:54pm On Dec 13, 2014
Former Nigeria president, Olusegun Obasanjo in his autobiography had opened a can of worms on many major stakeholders in the country.

One part of the book, 'My Watch', shines light on the nations only Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, whom the elderstateman described as "a self serving critic" who alwayz love to take the lead on all maters.
Wole Soyinka is a nigeria n playwright and poet.

Obasanjo wrote; "for Wole, no one can be good, nor can anything be spot-on politically except that which emanates from him or is ordained by him, his friends and loved ones will always be right and correct no matter what they do or fail to do."

Obasanjo described Soyinka as "a misfit as a political analyst, commentator or critic," adding that it was good Mr Soyinka did not go into politics.
"He is surely a better wine connoisseur and a more successful 'aparo' (guinea fowl) hunter than a political critic, not to talk of what he would do as a politician", Mr Obasanjo said.
"I take him serious on almost all issues except on the political particularly Nigerian politics."

He however thinks the Nobel laureate has calmed down recently after he turned 80.

Obasanjo finall wrote;
If i go before him, I will bid him welcome when he arrives at the great beyond. I hope he would do the same if he succeeds in getting their before me and we find ourselves on the same side of the divide.

Obasanjo is using a metaphorical machine gun in this book, shooting friends and foe alike.
These two are supposed to be very good friends, with Wole Soyinka even helping to put out some domestic fires always burning in the Obasanjo household many years ago.

This is more like a case of Al Capone of chicago dissing Henry ford as a nonentity. Like a case of darkness trying to supercede light. Only foolish Nigerians that are inherently condutioned to respect such animals,whether good or bad will take a book written by that scum seriously.

Obasanjo should expect a pungent and deserved remarks from Baroka himself, our own Wole Soyinka will not take that nonsense from the Egba Chief.......Obasanjo asked for it!

Obasanjo, Soyinka and his cousins, the Ransome-kutis all went to the same school and lived in the same hood like 65 years ago.

I guess they all used to hunt "aparos" together cheesy

Prof. hunts as part of his recreational activities and is known to share a love for wine as well. Obj wasn't mocking him, just stating that he was better at those two activities than in the world of politics.
