asuustrike1: Obviously you lack understanding in certain areas. You try to equate the physical abilities of the aged to that of younger people by insinuations. It's only until recently that I also, began to appreciate the respect and cultural considerations that the African society accords their aged. My mother will be 80 this year and the physical and mental transformation she's gone through in our eyes sometimes just beggars belief. I often wonder how a vibrant, sometimes aggressive bundle of energy can be so transformed. It's even worse if they also have mental challenges in addition, as remembering things and being easily confused are normal traits in the aged. It will happen to us all at some point if we grow to a ripe old age. Sadly being a celebrated literary icon and Nobel laureate does not exempt you. If you consider that the erudite professor is 84 years, you might excuse the fact that mistook his seat for another or needed a more comfortable one. Whichever it is, we can't situation the physical and mental abilities of the aged with the young and for that reason alone, culture and tradition notwithstanding, showing them respect and considerations is wisdom. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Gunner1759: I tire o. Soyinka's fraternity was founded in the '50s and left university campuses in the '80s. Cultism as we know it today was prevalent in the 80s, how is it then Soyinka caused the situation on ground? Was his Frat raping, gun slinging and knife wielding? Are there no Frats in the West? |

We are trying to copy the western word, little did we forget that we are Africans A young man trying to equate himself to an old man hiding under the pretense that youth have been suppressed not to stand for their right. What a Mentality, My this, my that. What has this generation become? Where is our Value, where is our heritage. Egocentric, arrongant people everywhere. Few successful people that I know are humble! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

DuxofMen:Probably you didn't disgest the whole piece without attaching sentiment. I gave an unbiased view without looking at the parties involved. To set the record straight, I didn't equate the old man with that young as implied by you. They are not age mate but it doesn't mean someone's right will be suppresses on the ground of age. that is what the young man just did even though he was too harsh in his approach. Secondly I doubt if that is the first time prof flew a business class because he might have been use to sitting close to the window hence i doubt your submission that he forgot. What i frown at is why the air hostesses didn't provide similar seat for the young man. The person who posted this on the media though many will buy that crap of values, norms and tradition.He forgot that the young man paid the same amount the prof did. I want to believe that they are older persons on that same plane and they sat on their allocated seat. Issues like this had sprinforth on many occasion that is why seat numbers are given. I faulted prof because he is educated and exposed even though he had cleared. If non educated person had done same thing I would have pardon him or her not an enlighten person. Lastly this part of this world respect elders if you don't know know it now. Probably this should pass a message across that airliners should have VIP seat for certain people to avoid issues like this Lastly the whole story turn out to be twisted story to gain traffic |

Gunner1759: Christianity and her ideology was a noble cause when it came to Africa..We keep blaming the white for it right...Cause it changed Africa ever since So who is to blame for bring cultism to Nigerian university Think before you talk |
Re: Airplane Seat: Wole Soyinka To Mo Abudu - "This Was What Happened" by Amujale(m): 3:35pm On Jul 11, 2019 |
Shinjitsu: Christianity and noble cause are words and their opposite. Nobody in their correct senses is meant to use 'Christianity' and 'noble cause' in the same sentence. When infact all the evidence suggest that Abrahamic religions are all weapons of mass destruction. Abrahamic religions are all false, fake and counterintuitive. Shinjitsu: And rightfully so, because it changed Africa in a negative way, before the forcefull introduction of Abrahamic religions, Africans are living in relative peace and harmony. Sadly, after the forcefull injection of Abrahamic religions, war, conflict and desease try to take over. Now is the time to take back control and get rid of all of those fake Abrahamic religions that are counterintuitive, unAfrican and majorly unfit for purpose. |

I just asked you one simple question Who is to blame for all this? |
Re: Airplane Seat: Wole Soyinka To Mo Abudu - "This Was What Happened" by Amujale(m): 12:55am On Jul 12, 2019 |
Shinjitsu: All the authors of Abrahamic text and all the Eurocentric Royal European leaders are definately to blame. The ancient Asian and ancient Eurocentric Crusaders and war mongerers definately are equally to blame. |

Amujale: You blame them right? |

Humanity began in Africa and then our ancestors went on to populate the rest of the world. Africans are the first people to explore and populate all the other 'continents. Africans invented paper and they invented the ink pen. Africans discovered the concepts of literacy. Africans discovered the concepts of numeracy. Civilization began in Africa and then it proceeded to trickle out to the rest of the world. Everyone currently living on planet Earth all descend from African ethnicities. |

It’s still like yesterday when Nairaland overflogged this issue. I learned something long ago; every situation must pass. |
