I am moved to make a comment about some people's comment on this post because it is alarming enough that most of us are becoming too lazy to read, but to not dine with reason and think? That's worse.

Firstly, Wole Soyinka has not written "complex English," as someone said. I agree his lexicon is well above the average and which many of us are unfamiliar, but shouldn't it be an opportunity to add to our vocabulary and get a better grasp of the use of English? His writing isn't comic relief.

Also, another stressed the need for Soyinka to attend to more pressing national issues and drop any interest whatsoever in making a book out of the uncouth behaviour of camera-armed invaders. National issues are of concern to the entire citizenry so why should Soyinka be censured when you and I are as guilty? And by the way, our social reputation is as important as our economic so the issue discussed is pertinent to "current national issues" I'd say.

Finally, it's an article! Not some comment on a blog. Why do we have to complain about its length? I'm no defender of Soyinka, but I can't help but speak up when I see fellow youths talk about matters that need not be raised, whether it's a faceless forum or not.

Because I won't be able to reply anyone who may be finger-eager to quote me so as to insult me on a faceless forum or ask why I had to resort to my "own epistle" within Soyinka's epistle, I'll use the exact quote from the article which @Truth234 earlier employed:
"It must also be stressed - that same society is the prime facilitator of its doom. There are times when tolerance becomes acceptance, then tacit and even overt encouragement."

Man, think!

Well said! Most of the comments on the topic, that necessitated this riposte from you, only reveal the decadence in the educational standard and reading culture of Nigerian youths.

I completely agree with you. The worst of this developing culture is the joy with which it is celebrated and encouraged.
