MrPresident1:
Soyinka, that is how I feel about being a Nigerian too, many times. Having to share the same nationality and nation space with some people is just cringing and heart rending. See the kind of comments one reads on this forum as an example.

We are completely lost, with no iota of common sense or spirituality or any hope of regaining it.

But no problem, Jesus is coming on or before the 20th of January 2017.

The Great Resetter has come! grin

young man, you have just missed it.......even Jesus Himself did not know the hour or the moment, just leave a righteous life everyday

Soyinka, continue to dance naked in the world scene and keep humiliating yourself the world over.

You have now become a serial wanderer, moving from one country to another and dictating for them on how they run their affairs.

I think this guy is sick and needs psychiatric help.

He claims he tore his recoverable green card. Now he wants to conduct his own burial while still alive.

He has gone beyond tipping point. I hope this is not one of his unserious drama.

So shameful!

Your comment and the people that liked your comments are the most credible confirmation that Prof. Soyinka is right. Even if you disagree with Soyinka, there's a bridge you should never cross!

You and your ilks are blinded by bigotry and poor education, that all you do is to make nasty comments about people you know nothing about.For a start, please google the name 'Wole Soyinka' and report back here if there has ever been a greater African-academic.

Well, I'm consoled by the fact that all your rants start and end on social media. People like you cannot even have the opportunity of meeting Soyinka, talk less of repeating in real life what you say under the protective cover of NL! Or where will you see Soyinka? Yale? Harvard? Oxford? NO! Hate-filled poorly educated folks like you can only be found in filthy houses and low-quality universities.

You cannot be great in life if you disrespect great people.

With all due respect, I believe Prof should be very careful about his statements lately because we are in an internet age where speech moves faster than the speed of light.

Surprisingly, this same controversial Trump recently appointed a black man who happen to be a Nigerian into his cabinet which nullify our initial ideology about trump's hatred towards blacks.

I believe baba should just relax his nerves and flush out his hatred towards trump because its obvious this president-elect is only busy looking out for best brains to fill his cabinet. Trump is a business tycoon and that's exactly what he plans to use the White House for but unfortunately many Americans are just interested voting in a different party.

Finally, Prof might become an element of ridicule within the country and also on the international community.

Easy please. Learn how to respect an elder.
Parents should not provoke their chilldren. Are we the ones begging Shoyinka to talk? If then he proceeds to speak reagrdless of whether we give a *#*# or not, why can't he then be consistent with his words? (1) Tear the green card as promised. (2) Show us the torn green card. (3) Did anybody ask his opinion? Must he talk? (4) Do a NOISY and public funeral for Trump.

ZoneBslayer:

but Soyinka has the right to dictate to the American voters who to vote for? I advise you to be a man of your own thoughts and think for yourself!

You can keep your advise to yourself. I believe you need it more. Soyinka cannot and did not dictate to Americans whom to vote for. I wonder where you got that information from. This is part of the emptiness we write and talk about. No regard for facts.

Where was he when Nigerians voted in this government?

Was he not also part of those praising and urging folks to vote APC?

From the comments i read... The man is just RIGHT...so many Nigerians have lost their COMMON SENSE ....

why will Nigerians criticized is own personal decision?

If you dont like Bubari and you decide to leave Nigeria for that.... why would a man criticized u for that?


Most times COMMON SENSE IS NOT ALWAYS COMMON



By the way, we need the likes of Soyinka back at home...

Welcome Back.... Baba

You know, if a white man said or did things similar to this, we'd all called for his head saying he is a racist. What is your business with other country sovereignty? With all the speck in your country's eyes, you still have the effrontery to put down other countries and their leaders. Trump is a fallout of the the people choice whether we like it or not. Their citizen decided to choose their president.

Meanwhile in your country, election is marked by corruption and result writing. He hasn't addressed all that or try to lead a campaign on voting right. I just tire for Soyinka o. I really had huge respect for him. People should advise him please

So shameful!

Daddy Soyinka, your productive days are over. You are now a spent fish. You could not imagine the winner of a Nobel Laurette in literature could sink down this low in 2016. Trump is the new POTUS, just deal with it like any other diasporan. Let's remember how vocal he was for Buhari during the campaign days. We are still suffering today.
