Hope Soyinka is not going the Odumakin and FFK way..

The same Igbos putting silly Ideas in your head will still sing Hausa/Fulani praise later. It's what they always do.

Soyinka should choose his words wisely and speak like a reasonable omoluabi not osu like Uzor Kalu.

Nigeria is gone, She's a ship wreck going down so everyone is just salvaging what he/she can and jump. The only way to keep us afloat is to bring the whites back to work with us in our government hand in hand. I lived in Eastern Europe for a while and really the white man has a conscience
. It's so sad but you do have a point. I once thought about it this way :If Nigeria is given to a man like Trump,what will be the outcome?. And then I answered 'a massive turnaround'.

Renowned Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has described Nigeria as sick and empty, deserving of the term “shithole” as described by United States President, Donald Trump.

Soyinka said this while speaking at the Ripples Nigerian Dialogue titled “Rebuilding trust in a Divided Nigeria,” held at The Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi, Lagos.

“We have become laughing stocks in the eyes of the public.

“We have earned the term of shithole. Nigeria is sick and empty. Some retrogressive forces won’t just stop. Everything Nigeria touches rusts.”

He condemned the humiliation of Nigerians by military personnel, stating that the humiliation of Nigerians led him to relocating abroad.

“The treatment of Nigerians by the military led me to relocating to a saner clime. I remember invading Obasanjo’s residence in Lagos and challenging him concerning the way Nigerians were being treated. It is a disgrace to us, as a nation. We have been left behind in nearly every field.

“There are lessons to be learnt from the diaspora. We need to peep across the Atlantic to see how other countries have been faring,” Soyinka said.

Drawing illustrations from his lecture titled “From Miyetti to Haiti: Notes from a Solidarity Visit,” Soyinka emphasized the need to end slavery in our society.

Soyinka emphasized the need of looking in the mirror to solve Nigerian problems and encouraged youths to resist the passage of the Hate Speech bill.

The round table featured Soyinka, Professor Pat Utomi, represented by Mr Rasheed Adegbenro, Ex Governor Peter Obi and Dr. (Mrs) Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi.

The session was moderated by former Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati.

Sure bro, we have failed woefully, it's funny to see people hoping if a different party comes into power things will change, Our mediocrity has eaten deep into coming generations. Why not give the whites a chance and see how far that will go? Mandela was wise enough not to talk about ousting the whites and u see the result today

. Well you know we Nigerians are very proud people and defensive too. We love to cover up our dirt forgetting that it'll smell no matter what. But who will save us,the old ones remain inactive on active seats,the young ones are being threatened and intimidated too. I detest talking about politics but I just recently heard about the bill seeking permission to be passed into law concerning hanging 'hate speech' offenders and that pissed me off!!!. These people are slowly but steadily taking away our rights as individuals. They're trying to shut us up. In no time,there'll be little or no criticism against the government. I don taya. Which kind country be this? It's a joke of a nation. Mehn,my children will definitely won't be born here. I won't let them suffer such.

Really it feels like Demons are in power, all their endeavors is too make the people suffer and force them to live below human standards, so demonic! I already made the decision not to even get married to a Nigerian woman, I'm scared of my blackness bro then how can i bring another black child into this Nigeria to go to what school? What health care or What security? What financial assurance do i even have? What life in general? Nothing man!

"Some retrogressive forces wont just stop"
"Everything Nigeria touches rust"
"Nigeria is sick and empty"

If prof. Soyinka made those statements in quotes as reported, I think he is not plain enough about the ways out. All he suggested has solutions aren't new, Nigeria problem is immuned to grammar and "talktalk".

A mad approach is urgently required @this moment, a mad somebody is needed to say some mad things that will inject some madness into the Masses and deal with the mad retrogressive forces that refused to stop.

Don't ask me what exactly am I suggesting, I only know of approaches that will never work. But one thing is certain, "only madness can solve this problem"
