Wole Soyinka is one of a handful of Nigerians with a colossal stature on the world stage.  His Nobel Prize in Literature and command of the English language give him the platform for his commentary on all matters Nigeria to be heard across the world.

In the 1960s, Soyinka was a prisoner of conscience when he was jailed by Nigeria's military regime for calling for justice on behalf of separatist Biafran rebels in the run-up to the Nigerian civil war.  But in recent times, the literary giant has cut a diminished figure.

This stems from the illogical contortions he has performed since backing Muhammadu Buhari's presidential bid over three years ago.  Buhari seems to have a "reverse Midas touch".  King Midas, in Greek mythology, turned everything he touched into gold.  In the case of "Emperor without clothes" Buhari, everything he touches just gets messed up big time.  Nigeria has gotten progressively worse since he assumed power in May 2015, the economy went downhill, unemployment and poverty shot right up, violent deaths reached proportions last seen during the civil war.  And Soyinka's lofty reputation is also getting messed up in Buhari's wake.
