Mr Soyinka, let remind you that in your days brillant student study outside nigeria but today rich children do. no more scholarship for the poor. All you people that went and study abroad came back and open private school and private hospital for the rich people, forgetting that it was the tax payer money was used for your scholarship. you people are the cause of problem we face today.

Bro, I just exhausted my time and good words on one of them in another thread... Like I once said, we will continue to pay the terrible price for making light of good education as a nation. I pity this generation.

I totally support his claim..isn't it the same youth's that protested about COZA over a mere allegation but cannot protest over Ruga.

Isn't it thr same youth's complaining about unemployment but are busy watching bbnaija, even wasting the hard earned money they begged from family or friends to vote

Isn't it the same you that prefers PDP to APC and vice versa

Isn't it the same youth who read topoc without reading write-up and jump to comment... Even here on NL

Isn't the same youth that do not have a mind of there own but only repeat what a politician or celebrity says.

Same youth's who care less who is ther LG chairman but blame FG all there life

Same youth who only criticize the government of other regions but care less about what is going on in tgere respective home, just to score cheap political goal

Same youth will still wait for there grand father's mate to lead a protest for them
spot on

Nairaland and Twitter are their headquarters.

Too many idiiots holed up in these platforms.

The worse thing is not that they are stupid illiterates, but they have every possible logic-defying ad hominem excuses to defend their stupidity. Some are already doing it now.

..........And the worst thing is not them being illiterates, it is such a sophisticated level of illiteracy that blinds them from realizing that they are more than just illiterates.

In addition to these cocktails of illiteracy and stupidity is celebrating their illiteracy by voting fellow illiterate who gives them the false illusion that they can make it big in life as illiterates..........It is not true. There is a level to which an illiterate can count money, cos its numbers.

Even the music industry is powered by legions of regional rap music and rhymes that further emasculates their stupidy with silly dance steps. it is the personification of illiteracy, the dance of illiterates.

The level of illiteracy scares the very educated into making all attempts even at the loss of all their savings to fly out of the country to find a good life at 'Abroad', by-all-means.

Today, we have criminals who think it is the native doctors' potent jazz that delivers potent mind control to control victims by buying and selling private human organs and items of clothing.

Nigeria's uneducated population is not just a legion of people, it is a mass consciousness of Illiteracy programming the group souls into energy vampires that seek blood through rituals, murders, terrorism, kidnapping, regional invasions and eventually and unavoidable internal war.

Even the blind can see it coming and is happening in pockets of places and growing..........

It is a destiny waxed by fate in AI Universe, powered by Gaia herself.

The only thing that can save this country, might just be a New Leadership Immediately, and if justice is denied, we will head to that inevitable entropy, which makes my work very difficult.

Since they can not read, they don't know that the Spirit of Rwanda calls Nigeria, and before Rwanda, it was Cambodia, and she moves around Gaia from place to place, organ to organ, system to system especially to locations where Boko is Haram.

CAVEAT: Do not believe me, cos I lie a lot. All the above are lies.

The truth i picked from this is that nigerians are more brave and bold to speak out against injustice,tyranny and bad governance when outside their country.but in their own country they become foolishly timid and cowardly sychopants who love their chains and slavemasters.WHY? Methinks illiteracy and years of contineous oppresion leading to rapid fear and mental slavery is the cause.

Sit down there and wait for him to direct your fight to the President and CJN. Let me enlighten you if you don't know history. The man you called nonsense achieved more than you are now in his youth. They even faced with military junta. Carried out series of protests with Solarin, Gani Fawehinmi, Benibeko Ransomekuti etc.. They went to jail several times. Read his book THE MAN DIED. Of course I won't be surprise if you had never heard of it before. Youth of nowadays like yours never reads but spend hours on internet, instagram etc.
Still waiting for old generation to fight for them. What a pity. Not even understood his message before jumping to castigate him.
