Where was Wole Soyinka when Nnamdi Kanu's bail was ignored, where was he when Nnamdi Kanu's family house was being desecrated by the military?

Why is Soyinka even complaining against a government whose emergence he actively worked for?
The chicken has come home to roost and they've begun whipping up empathy.

I refuse to buy in and it is simple.
I won't weep for you when your house is on fire if you didn't weep for me when mine was.

No way,

Sowore should pay the price for inciting a revolution against the government of the day out of animosity for not making the ministerial list.
The APC made it clear that they were not going to run a Government of National Unity, so what is Sowere's grouse?

Is it also a coincidence that his call for revolution came after the ministerial list was released?

We have better things like Allen Onyema and Air Peace to worry about and I find it rather paradoxical that our dear Professor has not made a comment on the ordeals of Allen Onyema.

Soyinka dines with the people he criticizes and laughs to their faces, accepts their awards and shows up for their invitations.
Visits their official residences and takes happy photographs with them. Worse even, he allows his children to serve under them.

Aside not being as literally sound, this two-faced nature is one of the reasons he will never be half the man Chinua Achebe was.

Chinua Achebe made his stand on issues unequivocally clear without any hues of grey, he turned down National awards based on personal principles, he never fraternized with people he believed made the country worse off and most importantly, he spoke out irrespective of whose ox it was that was being gored.

Wole Soyinka may have the unmerited award, but Achebe is the laurel itself.

How can the same people who said they couldn't trust Nigeria in the hands of Atiku "the looter" and "Made in China" Obi now complain that Nigeria is finished under their Mr. Intergrity and his Professor of Law vice?

No way.
Lalasti.clala please tell them that we must get to our Next Level, nobody is jumping off this ship.

This is no longer about Sowore. You definitely have a score to settle with Prof Wole Soyinka. How can you have so much bitterness and hate in you and expect to progress in life ? This is deep,it is too personal.

You are nursing a senseless bitterness about academic rivalry that long existed between two great Nigerians who have made names for themselves and here you are, a Mr Nobody without any value attached to your pitiable life.

You are a redundant ethnic chauvinist just like Buhari.

Why is an 80 years old man afraid to say the truth. What's he afraid of?
Is it DSS we should blame or the man behind their lawlessness
Should we even blame Buhari or elders of a wasted generation who for pecuniary reasons pretended not to what to expect from Buhari we all know.

If not hypocrisy, why will anyone except a different order under Buhari?
Has DSS not always gone overboard in dealing with Buhari's detractors?
Was the vice president spared when he tried to sanction erring officers

An 80 years old man should have the boldness to direct criticisms aright, own up for his role in creation of the mess and hands off our generation by keeping his broken views to himself in the next election year.

With all these write up. I can see u don’t want this country to move forward. So Soyinka is your problem. A man who supported buhari in 2015 because he taught that would bring change is now condemning buhari because he is disappointed in his so-called change and is writing openly to condem him.
You blame sowore and wish him death and suffering. Is sowore your problem? I ask you again. Or didn’t sowore warn people about buhari in the last election. Was it sowore that voted buhari in during the last election. Pls you and these your followers liking ur post should wake up and take another step in rethinking things. Remember sowore was the one who exposed that yara dua was dead that made Jonathan president. Remember that. It’s high time we come together and put our differences apart. Thank you

Too harsh and unnecessary. For the fact that he supported this administration from the outset doesn't mean he shouldn't speak up again. A lot of people probably didn't see this coming. However this administration is the most ineptitude government have ever seen in a while.

Everybody who claims he didn't see this coming was either blinded by ethnic hatred or was just plain daft. Either way, such elements have business contributing to issues of national discourse.

Buhari's antecedents were as clear as daylight. He called himself a 'converted democrat', you swallowed hook, line and sinker, and went on a 'sai buhari' overdrive.

How can the same people who said they couldn't trust Nigeria in the hands of Atiku "the looter" and "Made in China" Obi now complain that Nigeria is finished under their Mr. Intergrity and his Professor of Law vice?

No way.
Lalasti.clala please tell them that we must get to our Next Level, nobody is jumping off this ship.


Thank you for this. Whatever Buhari decides to do with Sowore and his cohorts, he's free to do it. So-called intellectuals who supported Buhari in 2015 should live with their consequences and not blame Jonathan or concoct ridiculous excuses for their ill-fated choice.

Where was Wole Soyinka when Nnamdi Kanu's bail was ignored, where was he when Nnamdi Kanu's family house was being desecrated by the military?

Why is Soyinka even complaining against a government whose emergence he actively worked for?
The chicken has come home to roost and they've begun whipping up empathy.

I refuse to buy in and it is simple.
I won't weep for you when your house is on fire if you didn't weep for me when mine was.

No way,

Sowore should pay the price for inciting a revolution against the government of the day out of animosity for not making the ministerial list.
The APC made it clear that they were not going to run a Government of National Unity, so what is Sowere's grouse?

Is it also a coincidence that his call for revolution came after the ministerial list was released?

We have better things like Allen Onyema and Air Peace to worry about and I find it rather paradoxical that our dear Professor has not made a comment on the ordeals of Allen Onyema.

Soyinka dines with the people he criticizes and laughs to their faces, accepts their awards and shows up for their invitations.
Visits their official residences and takes happy photographs with them. Worse even, he allows his children to serve under them.

Aside not being as literarily sound, this two-faced nature is one of the reasons he will never be half the man Chinua Achebe was.

Chinua Achebe made his stand on issues unequivocally clear without any hues of grey, he turned down National awards based on personal principles, he never fraternized with people he believed made the country worse off and most importantly, he spoke out irrespective of whose ox it was that was being gored.

Wole Soyinka may have the unmerited award, but Achebe is the laurel itself.

Just when I thought I decied to read your puerile vitriol, the latent tribalist in you rears its head, such double standards you have..the wrong is only acceptable if the sufferer did not speak out against it when it initially happened? Shame on you!

No one is forcing you to buy anything boy. Y'all still treating this shit like it's manutd vs Chelsea but when tyranny finally comes to your front door (Yes YOURS!), don't be surprised if there is no one around to help with your story.

I'm sure your pettiness will always stand by you no matter the harshness of dss cells though, so at least you get to chop belleful on that.

What a dunce

To my eastern brothers n sisters, you really need self examination. So because people refused to support GEJ, that mean they usher in Tyrant.
Neither of them was a good choice for Nigeria but GEJ was even worse of.
You guys should for one stop the blame game and let’s work as one to kick against bad leadership (not IPOB style)till we find one irrespective of its religious or ethical race.
Let us believe in one Nigeria and be ready to protect it even from the bad leaders we’ve had or will have as the case may be.
Our leaders knows we rather fight ourselves rather than cooperate to vote them out.

Aren't u guys tired of this? Must we dwell on what they did or say in the past? Our democracy is in serious coma and u guys keep digging same old grave
So u are just becoming aware that our democracy is in serious coma? When this same president ignored Nnamdi Kanu's bail, u people saw it as a necessity. He ignored Daduki's bail u believed Dasuki deserves it. Now he is doing same to ur brother you are talking abt a democracy in coma. U Yoruba's have seen nothing yet keep distancing urself from the south just because u are seeking power. U people will one day be the reason for your own destruction.
