You say our own WS doesn't deserve the illustrious NP.Who else, then? I think you're contradicted by your own limitations as regards the works of Wole Soyinka.Have you read Death and the King's Horsemen, The Strong Breed, Swamp Dwellers etc.? Or, his essay at Oxford University's Reith's Lecture, 2004, titled:Climate of Fear:Quest for Dignity in a Dehumanized World? Idiots don't mount the hallowed platform at Reiths.Not many Africans have been so honoured. As far as prose or narratives go, Chinua Achebe was unmatched in Africa.That's why Things Fall Apart easily became the best African novel of the last century.But, in terms of poetic playwriting, Soyinka is first amongst many equals; a William Shakespeare reborn, And interestsingly, they have the same initials.People like Soyinka are one-offs, they've risen above the ordinary level, and you've got to give it to them, acknowledge their eccentricity. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I dont know why these slow poke and morons (Baba Wole pls borrow me another one) always have this exagerated impression about themselves. They are very quick at calling the yotubas cowards and i wonder if they actually know cowards are identified at the war front. A group leader that abandoned his people and flee to Drogba's village, leaving brave Calabar man to fight till the end and surrender is been seen as a heroe. Can we comare such a run away soldier with the black scorpion-the tormentor who whipped his ass and took his took his land? Abeg reason am.. 2 Likes |

Mr. Einstein, a description meant to be offensive is not an insult I rest my case! This is a case of stark lunacy!! Just so you know, the meaning of a word depends on the context in which it is used. If you didn't have your head in the clouds during your JS2 class, you'd have known this! Stop brandishing dictionaries, learn both nominal and contextual meanings! theV0ice: |
Re: Soyinka Denies Blasting The Igbos, Says Whoever Believes He Did Is A slowpoke by ideykwum: 5:36pm On May 06, 2015 |
I agree with you! Even though Soyinka is bombastic, you'd forgive him if you read poems like Moremi, Civilian and Soldier, and even Abiku (some prefer John Pepper Clark's version)! Even his less recognised works like "The Trials of Bro Jero/Jero's Metamorphosis" are deep in their literary appeal! I still use a line from The Lion and Jewel to toast chicks: "My heart burst forth in flowers for you, and yet you and the rest of the village trample them with feet of ignorance"! Lol! It always softens the girl's heart, except she is a money-monger or outright street trash! Now, give me a mentally sound girl anyday! Throw in the right shape and face, and I'd worship at her shrine! leanfarmer: |

ideykwum: If you like, don't give up Mr dumbo. If a description of your trait rubs you the wrong way, change....that's what sensible people do. In case you're blind and hard of hearing, I'll repeat that If you believed the Soyinka who wasn't afraid to stand with the Igbos when almost all Nigeria was against them would say the rubbish ascribed to him, you're nothing but an irredeemable SLOWPOKE. If you believed the same Soyinka, whom the Niger Delta militants entrusted their negotiations with the FG to, said all that nonsense ascribed to him, you're a SLOWPOKE incapable of rational thought. 3 Likes |

coolvitus:Dear, We may not be one 'nation', but we are citizens of one COUNTRY - NIGERIA. Suffice it to say that you are a Nigerian and I am a Nigerian, and that makes us one: Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. No matter how you may interpret it, we are (1) all Nigerians (2) all Africans (3) all humans (4) created by the same God If you can not deny any of the above, suffice it then to say that we are one. |

Soyinka was in full support of Biafra, he even went to jail because the nigeria government thought he was helping Ojukwu. Based on that, Bros Kongi is Discharged & Acquitted. |

adeekiti: That is eh? it beats me! I read the first time it broke on NL and I did ask where in that particular OP it stated Igbos were greedy... Unfortunately, dear Wole, it is your kinsmen that seem to be more preoccupied with Igbo presidency than Igbos themselves, and so I suspect those Yorubas that can't stop talking about Igbos...to be the ones that had no shame in printing such fallacy against you. You defined them aptly though: cowards. .. and morons of course. Desperate moddafuc-king morons. |
